Verifies the selected recording MIME type can also be decoded by the
in-app <video> element via canPlayType(), so that codecs like av1 —
which MediaRecorder.isTypeSupported() reports as supported for encoding
but are not decodable on fresh Windows installs without the AV1 Video
Extension — are not chosen.
Also passes undefined (not an unsupported fallback string) into
new MediaRecorder() when no preferred type is supported, letting the
browser pick a default instead of throwing NotSupportedError.
Replaces the previous 'as ProcessedDesktopSource' cast with a properly
typed LINUX_PORTAL_SOURCE constant.

- electron/main.ts: treat missing sourceId on linux as portal sentinel
so the request handler never calls getSources() (which itself opens
an extra portal dialog) on fresh sessions.
- useScreenRecorder.ts: persist the synthesized portal sentinel via
selectSource() so main has the source set before getDisplayMedia.
Extract acquireLinuxPortalStream() helper to dedupe the three
duplicated getDisplayMedia constraint blocks.
- LaunchWindow.tsx: hide the screen-source selector button (and its
separator) on Linux so users cannot trigger an extra portal dialog
via the dropdown.
Previously on Linux/Wayland, starting a fullscreen recording required three
separate picker interactions: an in-app source dropdown plus two xdg-desktop-portal
dialogs. The duplicate portal dialogs were caused by:
1. resolveBrowserCaptureSource() calling desktopCapturer.getSources() in the
renderer, which itself triggers the portal on Wayland.
2. setDisplayMediaRequestHandler() in main also calling getSources(), which
triggers another portal.
3. Returning a pre-enumerated source id to Chromium, which on Wayland is stale
and forces Chromium to re-prompt via the portal during MediaStream creation.
Additionally, the editor window failed to appear after recording on some
Wayland sessions because 'ready-to-show' did not fire reliably.
Changes:
- LaunchWindow: skip the in-app source dropdown on Linux and start recording
directly; the OS portal becomes the source picker.
- useScreenRecorder: introduce a 'screen:linux-portal' sentinel source. When
set, route capture through navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia() so the
portal handles selection in a single dialog. Skip resolveBrowserCaptureSource
for the sentinel to avoid an extra getSources() call.
- electron/main: in setDisplayMediaRequestHandler, when the sentinel is set,
skip desktopCapturer.getSources() entirely and return a synthetic source so
Chromium opens the portal exactly once for the actual capture.
- electron/windows: in createEditorWindow, also call win.show() from
did-finish-load as a fallback for Linux/Wayland where ready-to-show may
not fire.
- Fix telemetry drift reset: use nextExpectedMs - now for delay instead
of stale drift value after baseline reset (avoids 1ms rapid sample)
- Use RECORDER_TIMESLICE_MS for mic fallback recorder (was hardcoded 1000)
- Return requested timeMs in extensionHost getCursorAt boundary clamps
- Remove premature null of webcam URL to prevent flicker on path change
- Use fs.realpath in IPC get-local-media-url to match media server check
- Always route audio through aresample=async=1:first_pts=0 filter during
muxing on both macOS and Windows, even when duration delta is small.
Previously skipped when delta ≤50ms, which left progressive clock drift
(from CPU load) completely uncorrected.
- Lower sync detection threshold from 50ms to 20ms so tempo correction
kicks in earlier.
- Use explicit 48kHz AudioContext sample rate in both browser recording
and export rendering to prevent sample rate mismatch drift.
- Reduce MediaRecorder timeslice from 1000ms to 250ms to reduce chunk
loss under CPU pressure.
- Tighten export audio sync: seek threshold 300ms→150ms, tolerance
15ms→8ms, correction window 2s→0.5s, max adjustment ±8%→±12%.
- Lower companion audio start delay threshold from 50ms to 25ms.
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.
