Resolve the microphone by exact label, then by a device ID that names a
real capture device, and only then by the label without Chromium's
transport suffix, so the name heuristic cannot override a precise
identifier.
Move the matching into a pure function and replace the source-text
assertions with a test that compiles it with swiftc and checks the
results against a fixed device list, following the lifecycle test.

The renderer passes the microphone's enumerateDevices() label to the
ScreenCaptureKit helper, which resolves it by exact comparison with
AVCaptureDevice.localizedName. Chromium decorates that label with a
transport suffix ("Shure MV7 (14ed:1012)", "MacBook Pro Microphone
(Built-in)", "BlackHole 16ch (Virtual)"), so the comparison failed for
almost every device and the helper silently recorded the system default
input instead. With the lid closed that default is the built-in mic,
which delivers digital silence, so recordings came out without a voice.
Try the raw label first, then the label without its trailing
parenthetical.

"Select area or window" in the source menu opens a picker over every
display. Hovering highlights the window under the cursor, or the whole
screen over the desktop, and a click picks it. Dragging draws an area,
and moving or resizing any pick turns it into an area. Record, Enter or
a double-click starts recording, Select only picks, Escape cancels.
The window-list helper gains a --z-order mode that lists windows front
to back with their owner process, so the picker hits the frontmost
window and skips Recordly's own. A picked window or screen becomes the
same source the lists offer. An area becomes an area:<displayId> source
that the capture helper crops like a window that never moves, cursor
telemetry normalizes to, and a dashed outline marks while recording.
The main process validates every pick: a window must be one the picker
offered. Picker windows stay hidden until they have painted, so opening
the picker does not flash the app background.

Record captured frames with BT.709 conversion and explicit limited-range metadata. Share the Windows conversion code between capture engines and apply matching colour metadata on macOS and FFmpeg fallbacks.
On macOS versions before Sonoma (14.0), SCStreamConfiguration does not
support the captureMicrophone/microphoneCaptureDeviceID selectors. The
native helper was throwing a fatal error, blocking recording entirely
when microphone was enabled.
Now the Swift helper logs MICROPHONE_CAPTURE_UNAVAILABLE and continues
capture without microphone. The Node handler detects this signal and
returns microphoneFallbackRequired to the renderer, which starts a
browser-side MediaRecorder capturing the mic via getUserMedia. On stop,
the audio blob is saved as a .mic.webm sidecar alongside the native
recording, where the existing companion audio detection picks it up.
Fixes: 'Native microphone capture is unavailable on this macOS/Xcode
runtime' error on older macOS versions.
The Swift helper binaries were compiled with -target macos14.0, causing
dyld symbol-not-found crashes on macOS 13. The ScreenCaptureKit audio
APIs require macOS 13.0 minimum, so the deployment target is lowered to
13.0 and an #available guard is added for the macOS 14-only
ignoreShadowsSingleWindow API. README updated accordingly.
Fixes#199, fixes#200
- Add CGPreflightScreenCaptureAccess pre-check in Swift helper
- Add microphone TCC pre-flight when mic capture is requested
- Warm up TCC via desktopCapturer.getSources before spawning helper
- Request mic access from Electron before helper spawn
- Remove unreliable systemPreferences.getMediaAccessStatus pre-checks
- Add camera entitlements to plist files for webcam support
- Guard getScreen() calls behind app.isReady()
- Make tray icons lazy to avoid early screen access
- Suppress duplicate permission error alerts in renderer
Add Electron IPC handlers and preload wiring for Whisper caption generation, small-model download management, and safer project media source resolution. Update native macOS capture helpers to mux separate system and microphone audio outputs before finalizing recordings.
