Can't build trivial application: No actions visible?

Hello, 

TLDR: When I attempt to control-drag from an NSButton to an event-handling controller, I see no actions listed; however, by examining the project files I can confirm the action does exist. The column where I would expect Actions to be listed does not have the column heading "Actions" contrary to my expectations based on this tutorial: https://www.gnustep.org/experience/PierresDevTutorial/index.htmlControl dragging from the controller to interface elements does work.

**Setup:** Successfully installed GNUstep suite on FreeBSD 14.3, launched ProjectCenter and Gorm, built a basic interface with a subclass as event handling controller per tutorial. In short, I'm doing an even more stripped down version of the tutorial.

​**Setup 2:** I was concerned about this weird error and wound up installing "Nextspace" on a Debian 12 virtual machine. Same issue! This seems so fundamental, surely I'm doing the wrong thing

And yes, I facepalm​ did in fact miss the instruction when I tried to get started on a previous attempt because I didn't change from aggregate to application. So I have good grounds for not trusting myself.

Relevant data:  If I grep NewClass inside the project I see that it's located inside of Resource/Projectname.gorm/objects.gorm and I can see that there's a serialization where Actions= ( "click:" ); 

**Verification:** In the class inspector, I can see both the outlet and action are defined and have the number 1 next to the outlet picture and the whatever-that-other-icon is.

 **Question:** Am I defining actions incorrectly, or is there something else preventing the action from appearing during control-drag binding? It's just soooooo weird.
