Description

Show sync status (idle, syncing, error) via changing cat icon colors or overlays.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing menu bar implementation to understand how the app displays its icon and manages sync state. Determine where idle/syncing/error states are handled. Look for icon assets or system provided overlays (e.g., NSStatusItem button image) and how to change them programmatically.
