If I try messing with the window’s frame NSRect, I shrink the WebView with the window but keep the Bar. If I try messing with the WebView’s frame NSRect, the WebView just shifts down and leaves extra space on top.
When you're using auto layout, you should not manipulate view frames directly. Instead, you modify or replace the constraints.
In your list above, number 5 indicates you have a constraint determining the spacing between the web view and the bottom of the window content view. So, you want to adjust that. Presumably, it's of the form contentView.bottom = webView.bottom * 1 + 22 (or possibly reversed order with a negative constant). So, you want to adjust that constant term to 0.
You can create an outlet from your controller class to the constraint. Connect it in the NIB. Then, you can refer to that constraint in your code and set its "constant" property.
