⌘⌘ has two routes — in process when Menu Band is already running, and the helper's summon over the bridge. The in-process handler arms focus and says so plainly: without touching the popover, because the glow and the rising bell are the cue that it landed. The summon path opened the panel first, so one gesture meant two different things depending on whether the app happened to be running, and the instrument came up behind a panel. It now arms focus and leaves the popover where it was. The contact-renewed resign guard goes back to how it was. Narrowing it to `began` was wrong: the resign worth protecting does not land inside one contact's onset, so TrackDrum exited after a single tap. That is worse than the ghost it was meant to fix, which at least has Escape and ⌘⌘. Both proxies were guesses at an event in another process. The helper's shield swallows the click in its own address space, so this app cannot observe the thing it is trying to absorb, and no function of the contact stream stands in for it — too loose keeps a resting palm alive forever, too tight cuts play off. The helper knows, and already speaks a frame `event` for summon and exit. A click event there is the real fix.
