Skylight call causing blinking cursor every 4 seconds #799

Description

@PromethiumL

I tested both 2.22.1 and 2.23.0 without config on Tahoe 26.2 and see the mouse cursor blinking every 4 seconds. Sometimes it finishes in about 40 seconds. The problem isn't likely related to my config contend and doesn't affect its functionalities.

sketchybar --config empty_file.sh

Log:

log stream \                                                                                                                                           
  --style syslog \
  --level debug \
  --predicate 'process == "sketchybar"'

produces something like

The ID in the end seems constant, not changing with session.

The 4 second interval is correlated with the blinking but not necessarily the cause. The log exists even when the blinking issue doesn't happen.
