Unable to start or use Cap

[ojpro]

Description

Hey thanks for the amazing project

I have tried many times to install Cap (+5 times) over time. But every time either it stops working and block my device until I do hard-restart (using the button the keyboard) as the whole system does not work anymore, nowadays, I can't even install it.

Reproduction

I know the issue is only related to my device, that why I have tried many things

disabled pi-hole, aerospace, clean-up after unistall using AppCleaner, mole, PearCleaner all this did not help
I tried to record I video but I can't save it* (corrupted after reboot)

Additional Context

• Cap version: 0.4.4
• Operating system, version: macOS 15.7.1 (24G231)
• Device (optional): MacBook Air 13 M3 16GB/256GB
