No GUI Window in macOS v1.0.26

[craigz]

Describe the bug

• Launching the latest release (v1.0.26) of the application on macOS doesn't spawn an application window.
• Manually attempting to open a New Chat also results in nothing happening.
• The only interaction is when quitting Goose, a modal 'really quit?' dialog appears.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download the latest release (v1.0.26) for  silicon.
2. Extract the archive and move the app to /Applications (replacing a prior version if required).
3. Launch Goose.app by 2x clicking it's icon.
4. See nothing. Selecting New Chat Window or Focus Goose Window from the Edit menu (or using the relative keyboard shortcuts) results in nothing.
5. Selecting Quit Goose from the Goose menu, or the keyboard shortcut both produce the only evidence the application was running in the form of a 'really quit?' dialog box.
6. note: replacing Goose.app with the prior release v1.0.24 and repeating the above steps 1-3 result in the expected new Goose application window opening.

Expected behavior

• Launching Goose.app from Finder.app should open a new application window. Otherwise, issuing the New Chat command with Goose.app running should open a new application window.

Please provide following information:

• OS & Arch: macOS: Sequoia 15.5 (24F74) /  silicon (m3)
• Interface: [UI] <-- so far the CLI appears to function without issue, the --version command responds with the current version (v1.0.26)
• Version: [v1.0.26]

@yingjiehe-xyz I've just updated to v1.0.27 and it works as expected. Opening goose.app opens the main application window as expected. thanks for the quick turnaround 🚀
