Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/15002

What is the issue?

When using Ollama from the macOS menu bar, the app window does not open in the currently active desktop (Space), but instead reopens in the Space where it was last shown — especially problematic when that Space is a fullscreen app.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any app in fullscreen mode (this creates a separate Space in macOS)
2. While inside that fullscreen app, open Ollama from the menu bar
3. Close the Ollama window
4. Switch back to Desktop 1 (normal Space)
5. Open Ollama again from the menu bar

Expected behavior:
Ollama window should open in the currently active Space (e.g. Desktop 1).
