Research direction

Start by reproducing the popup behavior on macOS and trace how the CLI handles the notification timeout. The issue does not name a file, entry point, or test; done means the popup exits without the reported several-second delay or unwanted timeout message.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

After the "notify" shows the popup, it hangs for several seconds and only then exists logging a message "timeout".

Is there a way to reduce or remove that timeout?

I'm on mac in case that matters.
