For context I'm on a M3 Macbook Air with macOS Tahoe 26.2. I've gone through the process of downloading the Monero GUI, starting in Advanced mode and creating my own wallet.Monero GUI tells me that my wallet is synchronized. I've double checked this by running ./monerod from inside of my /Applications/monero-wallet-gui.app/Contents/MacOS folder, then checking with status. That gave me this information Height: 3661890/3661890 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 5.57 GH/s, v16, 9(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 0h 0m 10sDespite that I still get this error Monero 'Fluorine Fermi' (v0.18.4.6-release) Error: Couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081 I'm not sure what else to try, but I'm open to any ideas
