Leave this field empty to use the system default.
Run in Background (Install / Upgrade)
When enabled, Raycast closes immediately after starting an install or upgrade. The operation continues in the background and a notification appears when it finishes. When disabled (default), Raycast stays open and shows a progress toast.
