This has been a persistent problem on macOS when running the compiled binary (.app).

When double-clicking WAIL.app in the Applications directory, the application launches on the Dock, closes for a few seconds, and relaunched. I can reproduce this by building from the current main branch HEAD (9eda87c) on macOS 14.2.1 on an Apple M1.
