- Menu bar is missing → it is the native macOS menu bar at the top of the screen, not inside the Kora window. Switch to Kora (
Cmd + Tab) to reveal it.
- Theme switch has no effect → the editor (Monaco) keeps its own theme; only the rest of the UI changes. This is intentional, for readability.
- Copy Session does nothing → there is no active session. Open or select one first.
