/**
* Speednote application.
*
* There is a known Chrome/Blink rendering bug on specific MacOS hardware profiles
* (notably i9 Intel/AMD GPUs) where transparent, stretched flex containers (`flex-1`)
* fail to composite correctly.
*
* The GPU attempts to optimize by skipping the paint for the empty stretched area,
* resulting in dead, uninitialized tiles that render as solid black horizontal bands.
*
* By explicitly declaring the background colors (`bg-gray-50 dark:bg-slate-950`)
* on this flex container, we force the hardware compositor to paint the tiles,
* bypassing the optimization glitch.
