Is there some sort of feature in macOS 26 where Apple automatically quits its own applications if you don't talk to them for a while? Messages and Calendar keep spontaneously disappearing if I don't use them for a bit. They're visible on screen and then suddenly they're not. When I bring them back up, there's no window saying they crashed and would I like to submit a report.

And no, I'm not running Marco Arment's Quitter app.

@podfeet Automatic and Sudden Termination have been around since 10.7 - 👋🏼 @siracusa - and in various guises before that, but I’m not nearly a big enough UNIX nerd to tell you what the process model looks like these days.
