Microsoft word citation problem

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting Zotero 8 to communicate with Microsoft Word on my Mac.

My setup:
- macOS Tahoe 26 (fully updated)
- Zotero 8
- Microsoft Word 365

The Zotero Word plugin is successfully installed and appears in Word's ribbon. However, when I click Add/Edit Citation, I receive a "Missing Permission" warning saying Zotero doesn't have permission to control Word.

The problem is that Zotero doesn't appear at all under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation, so I cannot enable Microsoft Word.

I've already tried:
- Reinstalling the Zotero Word plugin.
- Completely restarting Word and Zotero.
- Restarting my Mac.
- Resetting the Apple Events permission using `tccutil reset AppleEvents org.zotero.zotero`.

The issue persists.

Could you advise how to get macOS to register Zotero under Automation?

My Zotero error report ID: [2116351084]
