Research direction
Explore the UI rendering code in the Electron main/renderer process. Look at existing status indicators or the layout structure in the app's HTML/CSS files. The feature is to add a dot at the bottom right corner; investigate how connection state is currently tracked and could be displayed. No linked PRs or comments provide further guidance, so start by examining the codebase for similar UI components.
