Summary
This changes Mouser's background HID polling so it no longer keeps resetting the OS idle timer while the app is hidden or the user is inactive.
The issue appears to come from periodic HID++ reads, especially SmartShift polling, being interpreted by the OS as user activity. That prevents display timeout and system sleep even when the mouse and keyboard are untouched.

Related to #178.
The discussion there identified periodic HID++ reads, especially SmartShift polling, as a likely cause of the OS idle timer being reset while Mouser runs in the background. This PR makes those background reads visibility- and idle-aware, and I manually verified the macOS sleep behavior after building the updated app locally.
