macOS Platform

macOS-specific development with window management and distribution tools.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing macOS patterns
fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest macOS 26 docs via Context7/Exa
mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__build_macos - Build for macOS validation

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.
