The cursor telemetry snapshot (setRecordingState(false)) was not awaited,
creating a race with muxNativeWindowsRecording which calls finalizeStoredVideo.
If the mux IPC arrived first, pendingCursorSamples was still empty and no
.cursor.json was written — causing the cursor overlay to not render.
Chromium (Electron 17+) requires setDevicePermissionHandler in addition
to setPermissionCheckHandler/setPermissionRequestHandler. Without it,
device-level access is silently denied on Windows 11 even though the
permission check passes, causing getUserMedia to throw NotAllowedError.
- Check systemPreferences.getMediaAccessStatus on Windows startup
- Log warnings when camera/mic access is denied so users know to check
Windows Settings > Privacy > Camera/Microphone
- Call CoInitializeEx(MTA) at start of captureThread() and CoUninitialize() on exit
- Windows 11 enforces per-thread COM initialization more strictly than Win10,
causing GetBuffer/GetNextPacketSize to fail silently without this
- Add HRESULT error logging for WASAPI capture failures (GetNextPacketSize, GetBuffer)
- Remove AppleScript 'front window' bounds query which returned wrong window
for multi-window apps (e.g. Arc highlighting invisible auxiliary window)
- Use resolveMacWindowBounds() which queries by exact CGWindowID
- Keep AppleScript 'activate' call for bringing the app to front
Catch errors from desktopCapturer.getSources() in the get-sources IPC
handler and return an empty array instead of crashing the handler.
Prevents repeated 'Failed to get sources' errors when screen recording
permission is not granted (common in dev mode on macOS 26).
- Set setIgnoreMouseEvents(true, {forward: true}) on HUD overlay window
so transparent areas pass clicks to apps behind
- Add hud-overlay-set-ignore-mouse IPC to toggle mouse events
- Re-enable mouse events on mouseenter over visible HUD content,
disable again on mouseleave
- finalizeStoredVideo now catches validateRecordedVideo errors instead of
propagating them, so the editor opens even if ffmpeg validation fails
(restores v1.1.3/v1.1.5 resilient behavior)
- Use a single Date.now() call for all native capture filenames on macOS
to prevent timestamp drift between video/audio files
- Add update badge button that shows current updater state
(idle, checking, up-to-date, available, downloading, ready, error)
- Badge triggers check/download/install based on current state
- Poll update status summary every 2.5s for live state reflection
- Add CSS module styles for badge variants (quiet, hot, spin)
- Add i18n strings for badge labels and tooltips (en, es, zh-CN)
- Use native OS Notification on Windows instead of transparent overlay
toast window (transparent BrowserWindows are unreliable on Windows)
- Set app user model ID on Windows for proper notification grouping
- Make toast window opaque with solid background on Windows
- Only set transparent body background on macOS for update-toast window
- Refactor UpdateToastWindow to inline styles for Windows compatibility
- Add primaryAction-based button rendering in toast UI
- Add polling fallback for toast payload in UpdateToastWindow
- Add global CSS variables for brand accent color
- Add UpdateStatusSummary type and getUpdateStatusSummary() for exposing
updater state to renderer processes
- Add writeUpdaterLog() for persistent updater diagnostics
- Add configureUpdateFeed() for feed URL configuration
- Wire up get-update-status-summary and check-for-app-updates IPC handlers
- Add primaryAction field to UpdateToastState for actionable toast buttons
- Add checking-for-update event handler with status tracking
- Surface automatic check errors via toast when appropriate
- 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
