Research direction

Investigate how Oni handles input events and window management. Since Oni likely uses Electron, explore Electron's support for Touch Bar via `BrowserWindow.setTouchBar`. Look at the main process code for existing native integrations. No comments or PRs exist yet, so start by understanding the app architecture and then prototype a minimal Touch Bar implementation with common actions like commenting and fuzzy finder.
