One bug report describes the desktop main process exiting about a second after a roster snapshot when HUD mode opens on macOS 27, with no diagnostics. Two fix pull requests address related HUD behavior on macOS: keeping the main window listed while HUD is open, and avoiding HUD vibrancy on macOS 27. The titles do not confirm which change, if any, relates to the reported crash.
