Research direction
Investigate how Lens creates its main window in Electron, likely in the main process file (e.g., src/main/index.ts). Look for BrowserWindow configuration, particularly the 'titleBarStyle' option. The default behavior should respect macOS system settings for double click to minimize, but Lens may override this. Check if there is a custom 'titleBarStyle' set to 'hiddenInset' or 'customButtonsOnHover', which can disable the default behavior. The fix may involve removing or changing that option, or adding a listener for the 'double click' event on the title bar to trigger minimize.
