Subject: [PATCH] Fix pill visibility: always render, use opacity to hide

NSHostingView with frame (0,0) won't layout SwiftUI content, so
fittingSize always returns 0 when transitioning from EmptyView.
Instead, always render the pill button and use opacity/frame(0)
to hide when idle. This ensures the hosting view always has content
to measure.
