Description

When trying to add some menu bar items to the hidden bar, I get an "[App] took too long te respond" message.
This happened with a couple of items persistently after force quitting thaw: Siri, otter ai, superwhsiper, mymind, bitdefender, and others
When this message appears, the app disappears from any view inside the thaw app but remains in the menu bar on screen.
I tried resetting to defaults but this just cause my screen to bug out with apps just going to the mnu bar filling it completely and sort of cycling through the bar from left to right.

Example of an app just not appearing in the thaw view after trying to move it (got no error message, it just disappeared in thaw but remained on the menu bar), in this case it was otter AI and others had also disappeared

Example of the took too long error message:

Steps to Reproduce

1.Have mymind/launchy/bitdfender/boringnotch/superwhisper/siri menu bar items (it seemed to work with onedrive and stats although sometimes produced the same issue, but the aforementioned apps consistently created it)
2. Try moving them to hidden menu bar

App Version

1.2.0

macOS Version

Tahoe 26.4.1

Monitor Setup

Single Monitor
