Reproduction steps

Hi,
I've discovered a way to skip Stretchly's strict mode by activating macOS Mission Control using a hot corner. When strict mode is enabled, I should not be able to bypass or close the break screen. However, if I trigger Mission Control from a configured hot corner and then return to the desktop, the strict mode screen disappears, allowing me to continue using the computer and effectively skipping the break.

Steps to Reproduce:

On macOS, configure a hot corner to open Mission Control.

Enable strict mode in Stretchly.

Start a break session (strict mode active).

Move the mouse pointer to the designated hot corner to activate Mission Control.

Exit Mission Control

Environment:
OS: macOS 13.7.7
Stretchly version: 1.18

Expected Behavior

Strict mode should prevent any way to skip or dismiss the break screen, including using system features such as Mission Control.

Actual Behavior

Using Mission Control via a hot corner allows the user to bypass strict mode and continue using the computer.
