Research direction
Start by reading discussion #829 and the issue's references to ScreenCaptureKit and Topit. Then inspect Loop's existing macOS window-management entry points to determine where pinning belongs. Done means a window can be pinned above other windows and unpinned while preserving the expected window behavior.

Description
Discussed in https://github.com/mrkai77/Loop/discussions/829
Originally posted by luckman212 September 24, 2025
A very useful feature to add to Loop would be "Pinning" a window to the top of the screen. While macOS does not offer a native feature to do this, some clever apps e.g. Topit have used ScreenCaptureKit to make a "clone" of a window and keep that clone on top since it's owned by the app itself. This works fairly well.
