Stop Lock Screen from activating when Logic Pro is receiving MIDI controller input

When using Logic Pro, the Lock Screen will activate even when the app is receiving activity from a MIDI controller input. While it's not "The Keyboard™", contextually this makes no sense — it's an "input device". If an app is receiving "user input", the source of the "user input" shouldn't matter — especially when it's "hands-on" input like a keyboard, even if it isn't a QWERTY keyboard.


Whether the option should be in macOS and/or Logic Pro (to pass to macOS) doesn't matter, as long as it can be set such that "user input" prevents the Lock Screen from activating. Either I'm missing where that setting is, or someone shall we say "missed an opportunity" when designing the API for the Lock Screen feature.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.4
