Tailscale escapes macOS notch with windowed UI

"Notch Escape" marks Tailscale’s transition from a background utility to a first-class macOS application, proving that power-user tools eventually outgrow the menu bar's limited real estate.

• –The use of the `occlusionState` API to alert users when their icon is hidden by the notch is a masterclass in workaround engineering for Apple’s hardware quirks.
• –A searchable device list and latency-based exit node selection significantly lower the friction for managing complex "tailnets" on the go.
• –By introducing a "Mini Player" and Dock visibility options, Tailscale respects the "minimalist" workflow of its core developer audience while improving accessibility.
• –This GA release makes previously "hidden" features like Taildrop and Ping much more discoverable for the average user.
