Add a "Keep Buzz running in the tray" General setting. When enabled, closing the main window hides it to a system tray icon instead of quitting; left-click or the tray menu reopens it, and "Quit Buzz" exits. The preference is persisted in localStorage and pushed to the backend, which decides at window-close time whether to hide or quit. The tray icon is created lazily only while the feature is enabled, so users who never opt in never see it. Enabling fails closed: if the tray icon cannot be built the setting stays off, so the close button always has a way to quit. A genuine app exit marks the window as quitting so teardown is not trapped by the hide-to-tray handler, the macOS dock icon re-shows a hidden window, and Linux opens the tray menu on left-click where activation events are unreliable.

Works for me on ubuntu. Have not tested on any other platforms.
