On-device Spotlight on a Mac
Spotlight is implemented in the native Swift app, not as a web view in the notch. NotNotch is a glanceable companion, not a Spotlight replacement.

Why native matters
A real Mac utility can follow Spaces, displays, and system appearance. Spotlight is part of that host.
What stays in-tree
First-party Spotlight lives in the app. Third-party packages cannot load unsigned code.
