On macOS 26 (Tahoe), Apple regressed NSWindow ordering so that
orderOut: (what Tauri's hide() maps to) no longer removes the window
from the screen. The close-to-hide handler left a focused black
phantom window instead of hiding it, and the only recovery was to
quit and relaunch the app.
This is an OS-level regression, not a Readest bug: the same failure
hits native, non-webview apps such as kitty (kovidgoyal/kitty#8952),
and tao 0.34.8 calls a bare orderOut with no Tahoe workaround.
Fix: on macOS 26 or later, minimize() the main window instead of
hide(). Minimize is a different AppKit path that dodges the buggy
orderOut, keeps the app in the dock, and preserves the open book. The
existing Reopen handler already unminimizes on dock reopen, so no
extra restore logic is needed. Older macOS keeps the previous hide()
behavior. Version detection reads NSProcessInfo.operatingSystemVersion.
Closes#4875
