macOS Codex desktop app: at 100% zoom, the top-left window controls are overlapped by the app header/sidebar controls. At 90% zoom it no longer happens.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Codex desktop app on macOS.
  2. Set zoom to 100%.
  3. Look at the top-left window controls.

Expected:
The macOS window controls should remain visible and unobstructed.

Actual:
The window controls are partially overlapped by the Codex header/sidebar controls.

Workaround:
Set zoom to 90%.
