190 commits landed on main since the v1.10.0 tag with no e2e coverage written for any of them. This adds six post-1.10.0 sections to the manual checklist and a results row for the Windows pass that produced them.

What the run covered

Dev build from a worktree at 437e4bd2, Windows 11 26200. Both native binaries in the worktree predated the changes under test, so they were rebuilt from this tree and string-probed before anything was trusted — wgc-capture.exe and compositor_view.node, both 2026-09-03 ([segmentation] HIT, control OPENSCREEN_EXPORT_ENCODER HIT; helper control encoder-selection HIT). ONNX Runtime 1.27.1 staged, which npm run dev does not do.

No defect found. Measured, not eyeballed:

Change Evidence
Hardware H.264 is the Windows default (#460 class) encoder-selection … videoEncoderRuntime: "hardware" on the plain path with preferSoftwareEncoder: false
AAC track valid 48 kHz stereo in the recording
AI camera background Original / Cutout / Blur / Custom all render in the preview and in the exported frames
The segmentation gate, both directions onnxruntime.dll removed → the whole row is absent; restored → it returns
Caption anchor placement Top/Left move the band and relabel their sliders; exported plate's left edge measured x=192 / 1920 = 10.00% against insetX: 10
Pixel-resolution crop Down-arrow steps 100 → 99.9479 (one source pixel of 1920); preview box carries the source aspect
Modifiers under a trim Zoom 19.956–22.927 strictly inside trim 19.931–23.596 → fires with the playhead parked on it
Export progress honesty Reaches 100% with a 1.5× speed region present, reporting a real frame total
atempo stretch lands Audio and video durations agree within one frame (41.200 s vs 41.167 s); no silence block at the speed junction
Editor window bounds Persisted; a hand-planted zero-size / non-boolean state is rejected on relaunch
Whisper language picker 101 entries (Auto + 100), sorted by localized name

Skipped, with the reason recorded in the log row rather than passed: Ctrl/Shift+wheel zoom and pan (the computer-use scroll action carries no modifier, so the fix that moved the wheel listener to the whole pane cannot be exercised at all); the tray context menu (the desktop shell is granted at tier click, which blocks right-click); Update Settings (dev build — app.isPackaged is false, so the submenu is correctly absent); and the illegal-AAC-rate snap end-to-end (no 96 kHz device here — covered instead by the helper's own audio_sample_utils_test MF probes, which pass at build time).

Why two sections are written the way they are

Both are written against how the check goes wrong, because both went wrong in this run first.

The camera background is absent by design when the ONNX Runtime is not staged — that is the whole point of 949ebc32. So an absent control is a defect only once the library has been confirmed present. The section asks for both directions and names the npm run fetch:onnxruntime step that a plain npm run dev skips.

A modifier under a trim fires only when it lies entirely under the cut. A region that merely overlaps looks identical to one that is contained at normal zoom, and behaves differently by design. Testing the wrong one produced a false negative here until the saved spans settled it — 25 ms of overhang — so the section says to read the spans, not the pills.

Other doc changes

Step 3 gains the junctioned-node_modules trap this run paid for: a dependency added after the checkout the junction points at is simply missing, and nothing names it. vite logs one Rollup failed to resolve import line in the build noise, the main process starts anyway, and the IPC handlers in the module that failed to bundle are never registered — the symptom is No handler registered for 'get-app-info' and no visible window. Installing the one missing package into the shared tree also reconciles that tree against the older lockfile, so the note says to re-check afterwards.

The header now distinguishes the v1.8.0 sections from the post-1.10.0 ones.

Docs only — no source changes. scripts/check-docs.mjs passes (34 files).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Windows packaging support for the AI camera background feature by including required runtime components, preventing silent failures when the feature is used.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded the manual end-to-end testing checklist with coverage for editing, captions, export progress and audio, settings, AI camera, editor windows, and recording workflows.
    • Added notes for AI camera prerequisites, dependency environments, and detailed export-duration validation.
    • Updated documentation of runtime requirements and third-party notices for Windows support.

Six new post-1.10.0 sections and a results row for the pass that produced
them: AI camera background, caption anchor placement, editor shell and
dialogs, editor window bounds, export progress and speed-region audio,
modifiers under a trim — plus Windows encoder/AAC and update-settings
rows in the sections that already existed.

Two of these are written specifically against how the check goes wrong.
The camera background is absent by design when the ONNX Runtime is not
staged, so an absent control is a defect only once the library has been
confirmed present — the section asks for both directions and names the
`npm run fetch:onnxruntime` step a plain `npm run dev` skips. And a
modifier under a trim fires only when it lies *entirely* under the cut:
a region that merely overlaps looks identical at normal zoom and reads
as a failure, so the section says to check the saved spans, not the
pills. That mistake cost a false negative in this run before the numbers
settled it.

The junctioned-node_modules note in step 3 is the other thing this run
paid for: a dependency added after the checkout the junction points at
is simply missing, and the symptom is an unregistered IPC handler and no
window, never the package name.

…ows build

The Windows installer has been unbuildable since #291 landed, and nothing
noticed because build.yml runs only on dispatch or a tag: the last green
Windows job was release/v1.10.0, which predates the commit.

before-pack holds two positions that cannot both be satisfied. WIN_REQUIRED
refuses to package *without* onnxruntime.dll, deliberately — a build missing
it degrades cleanly into a camera-background control that does nothing, which
is the silent amputation that guard exists to catch. And
checkWinNoRedistDependency refuses to package *with* it, also correctly:
the vendored upstream binary imports msvcp140, msvcp140_1, vcruntime140 and
vcruntime140_1, none of which are part of Windows. So `npm run build:win`
stopped at the hook every time, on either message.

Neither escape applies here. It is an upstream release binary, so
`-C target-feature=+crt-static` — the answer for our own Rust addon — has
nothing to act on, and dropping the DLL is the failure mode the other half
of the hook is there to prevent. That leaves the remedy the guard's own
message names: ship what it imports, beside it.

stage-vcomp-runtime.mjs already knew how to do exactly that for vcomp140.dll,
including finding the redistributable copy Microsoft licenses for
redistribution rather than the one in System32. It now stages the CRT set
from the sibling Microsoft.VC<nnn>.CRT directory in the same walk, and
reports every missing name at once rather than sending someone back through
install-and-retry per DLL.

No test file: before-pack reads the real import table of the real payload and
fails the build on anything still unshipped, which is a stronger check than a
unit test of this script's version sort. Verified by the hook passing on a
local `electron-builder --win` that previously stopped there.

Third-party notices updated — these are redistributed Microsoft binaries and
the obligation is the same as for vcomp140.dll.
…y prove

Both CodeRabbit findings on #589, and both land on my own run.

`silencedetect` over the exported audio proves nothing about `atempo` when
the source is mostly silence — which a screen recording with ambient mic is.
The detector reports a block at the speed boundary whether or not the stretch
left a hole, so the check passed for a reason unrelated to what it claims to
test. It now asks for deliberately noisy audio across each boundary, and for
the source to be checked before a failure is recorded.

"Within one frame" is a claim about 1/fps and the row never wrote the rate
down, so nobody could check it: 33 ms is one frame at 30 and two at 60. The
rate is now required beside the durations, and it is recorded for the run
(30 fps, so the 41.200 s / 41.167 s gap is exactly 1/30).

The 0.48 s the export ran under the trim/speed arithmetic was logged as a
note beside a "no defect" verdict, which reads as cleared. It is not. The
verdict now says one validation is unresolved, the arithmetic is written out
in frames, and the one hypothesis I did test is recorded as ruled out — the
source is not shorter than its container claims, `-count_frames` gives
exactly 2778 = 46.300 s x 60 fps. Left open rather than chased: the trim and
speed length arithmetic predates this window, so it is not this slice's
defect to close.

The duration check itself now asks for frames rather than seconds, because
a handful of frames rounds away in seconds and that is exactly how this got
written down as a note instead of a question.

Second commit added: this branch is no longer docs-only.

The Windows installer has been unbuildable since #291

Trying to produce a full packaged build to test against turned up a hard blocker. npm run build:win stops at before-pack, every time, on either of two messages — because that hook holds two positions that cannot both be satisfied:

  • WIN_REQUIRED refuses to package without onnxruntime.dll. Deliberately: a build missing it degrades cleanly into a camera-background control that does nothing, which is the silent amputation that guard exists to catch.
  • checkWinNoRedistDependency refuses to package with it. Also correctly: the vendored upstream binary imports msvcp140, msvcp140_1, vcruntime140, vcruntime140_1, none of which are part of Windows, and none of which shipped beside it.

Neither escape hatch applies. It is an upstream release binary, so -C target-feature=+crt-static — the answer for our own Rust addon — has nothing to act on, and dropping the DLL is exactly the failure the other half of the hook prevents.

Nothing noticed because build.yml runs only on dispatch or a tag. The last green Windows job was release/v1.10.0 on 2026-08-24, and 8959c23e is not an ancestor of that branch — so no Windows build has ever been attempted with onnxruntime.dll in the payload.

The fix

The remedy is the one the guard's own message names: ship what it imports, beside it. scripts/stage-vcomp-runtime.mjs already did exactly that for vcomp140.dll, including preferring the redistributable copy Microsoft licenses for redistribution over the one in System32. It now stages the CRT set from the sibling Microsoft.VC<nnn>.CRT directory in the same walk, and reports every missing name at once instead of sending someone back through install-and-retry per DLL.

No test file: before-pack reads the real import table of the real payload and fails the build on anything still unshipped — a stronger check than a unit test of this script's version sort. THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md updated, since these are redistributed Microsoft binaries under the same obligation as vcomp140.dll.

Verified on the resulting package

npm run build:win now completes: Openscreen.Setup.1.10.0.exe, 223 MB, plus latest.yml and a blockmap. Payload checked in release/1.10.0/win-unpacked:

  • All five runtime DLLs present beside the binaries that import them, plus onnxruntime.dll, compositor_view.node, wgc-capture.exe, the ffmpeg av* set and the whisper/ggml set. ffmpeg.exe correctly excluded by the filter.
  • Loading the packaged addon the way the app does (ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 Openscreen.exe, packaged bin dir on PATH): require() succeeds, and segmentationRuntimeAvailable() returns true — so the ONNX Runtime resolves and loads from the packaged layout, which is the whole point of the staging fix.
  • resources/mediapipe/selfie_segmentation_landscape.onnx resolves outside app.asar, so realExistsSync can see it and the camera background is live in an installer rather than silently inert.

Two limits worth stating plainly. This machine has the redistributable and always will, so a successful load here proves the build is not broken and says nothing about clean-machine behaviour — the import table plus colocation is the only evidence for that half, which is why the guard reads it rather than running anything. And the packaged app could not be driven with computer-use: request_access("Openscreen") resolves to the installed app's path, so the win-unpacked window comes back masked. The tray Update Settings submenu therefore remains untested — it needs app.isPackaged, which only a packaged build has, and right-click, which the desktop shell's click tier blocks.

One unrelated observation, not acted on: resources/mediapipe/ still ships two .tflite files (~487 KB) left from the MediaPipe implementation that the ONNX path replaced. Nothing loads them.

| 2026-08-14 | installed `v1.9.5-rc.1`, macOS Apple Silicon DMG (CI-built, Developer ID signed). **rc.2 is not published** — only rc.1 exists on Releases; no native source changed between `v1.9.5-rc.1` and `origin/release/v1.9.5`, so this artifact already carries the rc.2 native payload, but #366 (cross-platform TS) is absent from it | macOS 26.5 (25F71), M1, 1920×1080 @ 2× | **Fail — 1 blocker** | **The plan's assertion-1 criterion does not hold on macOS, in both directions.** On a clean stop `AVAssetWriter.finishWriting()` collapses the fragments into a normal movie: `ftyp mdat moov`, `mvex` ABSENT, 0 `moof`, no `mfra` (45 s / 44.4 MB run). That is exactly the shape the plan calls the headline failure — and the pre-`a6795d23` control recording (2026-08-10) has the *same* shape — so **a clean-stop box walk cannot distinguish fragmented from plain on macOS; only the kill test can.** Fragmenting *is* active: the takes whose writer died mid-fragment retain `mvex` + ~1 `moof` per second of media (shipped-build writer-failure samples: 35 `moof`/36.0 s, 14/15.0 s, 3/4.0 s; plus 18 on a surviving-helper kill). The one kill on the shipped build is the exception that proves the scope — capture had already stalled ~12 s before the kill, so it carries `mvex` but **0 `moof`** and only 1.0 s. No macOS file, clean or killed, ever carried `mfra`. **Blocker: every app-driven recording truncates, then the app discards it.** (Root cause and fix reported in #375 — the fragments carry a negative composition offset in a version 0 `trun`, where ISO/IEC 14496-12 8.8.8.2 defines the field as unsigned, because frame reordering was left on; `AVVideoAllowFrameReorderingKey: false` clears it and restores the crash-resilience the fragmenting was for. Verified at helper level there; **this rc.1 run only reproduced the failure and validated nothing about the fix**. Re-run this section against a CI build carrying #375 before rc.2 ships.) 3/3 takes stopped writing early while the HUD kept counting — media 4.0 s / 36.0 s / 15.0 s against HUD `02:02` / `01:30` / `01:04`. Helper emits `{"event":"error","code":"writer-failed"}`; main log `AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11800 … (-16341)`. Stop then hangs ~30 s on "Saving…" and drops the take: no `.session.json`, no `.cursor.json`, no editor. The app *does* surface the raw error in a toast (confirmed by hand on the same machine at 13:28–13:35 — my automated runs screenshotted after it auto-dismissed, so an earlier draft of this row wrongly said there was none). 44,561,966 / 328,337,979 / 139,631,607 / 17,187,009 bytes decodable and thrown away (147 GB free — not disk). Reproduced standalone with the shipped helper at 1080p30/8 Mbps, 2/2 (~9 s, ~5 s), so it is not confined to the app's 4K60 path — but do not read that as load-independent: append rate demonstrably modulates how reliably it bites (#375 measures it reliable at ~57 fps and intermittent at 30 fps). **Reproduced by hand, no automation involved**, on six takes recording a YouTube page — and those six separate the trigger cleanly: **system audio ON → 3/3 died at ~1.0 s and minted 0 projects; system audio OFF → 3/3 survived (3.3 s, 7.4 s, 25.0 s) and minted 1 project each.** **Audio is not the condition, only an accelerant** — a controlled run with system audio off *and not one screenshot taken during the capture* (the screenshot layer hides non-allowlisted windows, so it was the last confound worth eliminating) died the same way: 8.008 s of video, 79,004,330 bytes then flat for 76 s with the helper still alive, 7 `moof`, 0 sidecars, 0 projects, same `-11800`/`-16341`. What audio changes is the window: with a track it is ~1 s, without one ~4–40 s. That reconciles the by-hand takes with mine — a take short enough to stop before the writer dies is clean, which is why 3.3 s and 7.4 s survived and 8.0 s did not, and why the 25.0 s one minted a project while still carrying `mvex` (never cleanly finalised). **Turning audio off is therefore not a safe workaround.** Untested here: microphone — this Mac has no input device, and whether a mic track triggers the same path is an inference, not a measurement. **Helper A/B narrows the with-audio path to the fragmentation line**: helper built twice from source identical to the rc.1 tag, differing only by `writer.movieFragmentInterval` (701 vs 700 lines) — with system audio at 1080p30, WITH the line `writer-failed` 2/2 (2.0 s, 1.0 s), WITHOUT it clean `recording-stopped` 3/3 (40.6 s, 37.9 s, 37.6 s). **Read those counts as a sample, not a law**: a later rebuild of the with-the-line arm survived 22.2 s at the same settings, so the failure is probabilistic and rate-dependent, and the byte-level evidence in #375 is what actually carries the case. The video-only local-vs-shipped gap (local survived 45 s, shipped failed 5/5) is explained by the same variable rather than by the released artifact — the shipped runs encoded at 56.6 fps against 29 fps locally. **Kill test** is confounded on the shipped build (capture already dead before the kill): 17.19 MB → only 1.0 s / 56 packets, 0 `moof`. On a helper that does not fail, a mid-write kill leaves 18 `moof`, decodes clean (`ffmpeg -v error -f null -` exit 0, 1373 packets) and no `mfra` — the shape the plan expects. **#363 gap confirmed, and on macOS it fires with no kill at all**: `writer-failed` alone loses the take; there is no app-side recovery. **Audio**: AAC 48 kHz stereo muxes into the fragmented container, video start `0.000000` vs audio `0.014479` → 14.5 ms drift, under one frame at 30 fps (measured on the 2.0 s written before the writer died). **Compositor + export pass**: preview renders with no camera declared; export MP4 1080p60 H.264+AAC via `h264_videotoolbox (zero-copy VT)`, 5,726,865 bytes, 318 packets, decodes clean, duration matches to within 7 ms — source 26.713 s minus trims 19.910 + 1.513 = 5.290 s expected vs 5.283 s measured, under one frame at 60 fps. **#366 not runnable as specified** (absent from rc.1, rc.2 unpublished, and record→editor never completes); adjacent behaviour measured on an existing project — close+reopen kept 19→19 projects, exactly ONE project references the recording, and Blur BG / padding survived (`showBlur=true`, `padding=16`). NOT covered: Windows-only DPI and wgc-capture, GIF, AI sections, packaging (per plan); webcam PiP and microphone — this Mac has neither (Device settings reports "No microphone found" / "No camera found"). |

The HUD timer froze at `03:58` across two reads 7 s apart with the indicator amber, and resume was clean (`04:01` → `04:08` over 7 s, no time lost). An earlier draft of this row called this a blocking defect, on the strength of comparing the file duration against a timer read *before* the stop click; with tool round-trips of ~20 s that comparison is worthless, and the packet count offered as corroboration proves nothing either — a file is continuous 60 fps whether or not capture was ever suspended. Written down because the wrong version of this measurement is easy to repeat: compare against wall-clock elapsed, never against the last timer you happened to screenshot. **Capture is otherwise sound, on two takes.** 15.8 s: fragmented (`ftyp uuid pdin moov` then 16 `moof`/`mdat`, `mvex` present), `mfra` on the clean stop, 1920×1080 @ 60/1, 948 packets = 15.8 × 60, `ffmpeg -v error -f null -` exit 0, both sidecars written. 286.3 s: 287 `moof`, `mfra` present, 17,180 packets, decodes clean, `.cursor.json` 1.3 MB. No pacing drift and no dropped frames over 4 min 46. **Export passes and honours its settings**: 720p/30 requested from a 1080p60 source gave 1280×720, `avg_frame_rate` 85900/2863 = 30.004, 8590 packets matching the frame count the progress UI itself reported, duration 286.333 s identical to source, decodes clean, 124.5 MB, written to the path chosen in the native save dialog and reported back as "Saved to …". Composition verified by extracting a frame and reading it at full resolution (not from a preview screenshot): gradient background, content inset as a rounded card with a drop shadow, content aspect ≈1.76 against the 16:9 target, synthetic cursor drawn. Note the exporter adds a silent **AAC 48 kHz stereo** track even though no audio source was enabled. **Retracted: "the HUD language menu ignores `Escape`".** It does not — the maintainer confirms the key works by hand. **Claude Desktop swallows `Escape` before it reaches the app under test**, so a synthesised press proves nothing about the app, and `GetForegroundWindow()` returning the HUD does not rescue the inference: the key never left the driver. The companion observation (an outside click on the HUD's own drag handle did not dismiss the menu) is withdrawn with it, since the HUD's own chrome is not "outside" the popover in any meaningful sense. What *is* established is that the blur path shipped in this RC works: `54e12706 fix(hud): dismiss the HUD popovers when the window loses focus` dismissed the menu on a click to the desktop. **Rule for anyone driving keyboard checks from computer-use: `Escape` is unusable as evidence, and any negative keyboard result needs a by-hand confirmation before it goes in this table.** **Behaviour vs doc**: the record button is not disabled without a source — it opens the source selector. No recording starts, so the check's intent holds, but AGENTS.md still describes a disabled button with a "Please select a source to record" tooltip, and that is why no tooltip appears. **Passed**: single launch window, no startup crash; HUD visible under `OPENSCREEN_DISABLE_CONTENT_PROTECTION=1`; tray layout toggles horizontal↔vertical both ways; HUD drag follows the pointer without drift and stays at the drop point; language menu opens with its locale list; minimize hides the HUD without quitting (6 processes still alive); relaunching routes through the single-instance lock, restores the window and mints no duplicate; source selector opens, selecting a card enables Share, and the HUD label becomes the picked source (`Tout l'écran`); record → stop opens the editor with the asset, a timeline clip and a rendered preview; About reports the RC version. **Local transcription works, on GPU** — an earlier draft of this row reported it broken, which was wrong. Relaunching with stdout/stderr captured and importing a 15 s asset that carries an audio track settles it: `[whisper-stt] boot: model=…\whisper-ggml\ggml-small-q8_0.bin host=127.0.0.1 port=64720 threads=16`, `ggml_vulkan: 0 = NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti`, `model loaded; backend=whispercpp-vulkan`, then `[stt] done on whispercpp-vulkan: 1 chunk(s), 15.0s audio in 0.1s (0.01 rtf, 106.8x real-time)`. The pane switched to "1 caption lines, derived live from the transcript". **The real (minor) defect is the error message**: on an asset with *no audio track* the captions pane says **"Failed to fetch"**, which reads as a network failure and sent this run hunting a broken STT server that was never involved — the pipeline simply has no audio to extract. It should say so. **Second minor find, from the same stderr**: `listProjects` cannot read three saved projects — one `ZodError` (`transcript.segments[0].endSec must be greater than or equal to startSec`, repeated across `segments`, `words` and `transcripts[0]`) and two `SyntaxError: Unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON`, i.e. truncated or double-written project files. They are skipped silently in the UI. **Caption anchoring — the rc.2→rc.3 delta — is present but its rendering was not measured.** The Position section carries exactly the model those commits describe: `Bottom`/`Top`, the note "Long captions grow upward — the bottom edge stays put", `Distance from bottom` defaulting to **1.5 %**, and Left/Center/Right. What could not be checked is where a caption actually lands, because the only transcript obtainable here came from a 300 Hz sine and yielded one line that never surfaced at any scrubbed position. **Closed out of band: the maintainer ran the caption sections by hand on a real spoken-audio recording and reports them correct**, which is the coverage this automated run could not supply and the last gap standing between this RC and a promote. Also confirmed from stderr: `[content-protection] OFF for the HUD window (OPENSCREEN_DISABLE_CONTENT_PROTECTION=1)`, so the flag does log its effect, and with the flag unset the HUD is correctly invisible to screenshots. **The consequence matters more than the cause: the eight caption anchoring/margin/inset cherry-picks that are the entire delta from rc.2 to rc.3 are NOT covered by this run.** **Not run**: restart and cancel actions; audio capture of any kind; webcam PiP; GIF; DPI scaling; HUD/notes exclusion from captured video with content protection ON (the whole session ran with it off, and the exported frame confirms the HUD *is* captured when it is off); regions, modifiers, timeline navigation, clip operations, persistence; macOS and Linux. **Environment limits that shaped this run, worth knowing before the next one.** `parsecd.exe` runs **elevated** and holds an invisible always-foreground window (`ParsecMinFrameRate16`); the moment OpenScreen loses focus every computer-use click is refused, and because the process is elevated UIPI makes granting Parsec useless — **tray-icon refocus could therefore not be tested at all**. Relaunching the app (single-instance raises it) is the way back. Dragging the HUD only works while every intermediate pointer position stays inside the HUD's own 904×698 mostly-transparent window; as soon as one lands on the desktop, the tier-"click" shell gate refuses the drag mid-gesture and leaves the button down — release it explicitly. Finally, the Microsoft Store package (`EtienneLescot.OpenScreen`, 1.9.6) **shadows the NSIS install in `request_access`**: every grant resolved to the Store bundle and the RC window stayed masked in screenshots while reporting success, until the Store package was removed. Screenshots do **not** interrupt a recording — that hypothesis was raised and disproved by running a 90 s capture with none taken and then taking one mid-capture with the helper surviving. |
| 2026-08-23 | installed `v1.10.0-rc.3` (Developer ID, unmodified) run with `OPENSCREEN_SCK_CAPTURE_EXE` pointed at a helper built from this branch | macOS 26.6.2 (25G83), M1, 1728×1117 @ 2× | Pass — fixes a blocker | **Window capture section only.** Before: selecting any window in the source picker kills the helper the instant `start()` builds its filter — `Assertion failed: (did_initialize), function CGS_REQUIRE_INIT, file CGInitialization.c, line 44`, SIGABRT, `-[SCContentFilter initWithDesktopIndependentWindow:]` → `SLSGetDisplaysWithRect`. 6/6 attempts on the shipped rc.3, no file, no error surfaced in the UI (the HUD returns to idle as if nothing happened). Display capture is unaffected and always worked, which is why this went unnoticed: the two paths diverge at `makeCaptureTarget`, and only the window branch resolves a rect through SkyLight. After: record → 25.2s → stop → **editor opened on the take**, `recording-1787475175449.mp4` 12,559,123 bytes / 25.18s / 2674×1684, the MP4 and both sidecars written (`.cursor.json`, `.session.json`), one project minted, zero crash reports. Helper-level A/B on an identical request JSON isolates the change: shipped signed helper → assertion, no file; this branch's helper → `recording-started`/`recording-stopped`, 4.49s / 1336×840 decodable MP4. NOT covered: webcam PiP, microphone, system audio (all off for these runs), export, GIF, AI/transcript sections, Windows, Linux. Not covered by unit tests either — `Package.swift` scopes the Swift test target to what runs without a screen, a display server or a TCC grant, and this crash needs all three. |
| 2026-09-03 | dev build, worktree `github-issue-385-38d731` @ `437e4bd2` (main). Natives rebuilt from this tree: `wgc-capture.exe` and `compositor_view.node` both dated 2026-09-03, verified by string probe (`[segmentation]` HIT / control `OPENSCREEN_EXPORT_ENCODER` HIT; helper control `encoder-selection` HIT). ONNX Runtime 1.27.1 staged. | Windows 11 26200, 1920×1080 @ 100% | Partial — no defect, one validation unresolved | Post-1.10.0 slice. **Passed:** hardware H.264 is the Windows default (`videoEncoderRuntime: "hardware"` on the plain path); recording AAC valid at 48 kHz; camera background Original/Cutout/Blur/Custom all render in preview **and** in the exported frames; the control is correctly hidden when `onnxruntime.dll` is removed and returns when it is restored; caption anchor presets Top/Left move the band and relabel their sliders, and the exported plate's left edge measured x=192/1920 = 10.00% against `insetX: 10`; crop field down-arrow steps one source pixel (100 → 99.9479) and the preview box carries the source aspect; a zoom lying entirely inside a trim fires in the preview with the playhead parked on it (zoom 19.956–22.927 inside trim 19.931–23.596, checked in the saved project, not by eye); export progress reached 100% with a 1.5× speed region present and reported a real frame total; exported audio and video durations agree within one frame at the export's **30 fps** — 41.200 s audio vs 41.167 s video, a 33 ms gap that is exactly 1/30; `editor-window.json` persists bounds and a hand-planted zero-size/non-boolean state is rejected on relaunch; Regenerate-as lists all 101 whisper language entries; regions and settings survive a restart. **Skipped:** Ctrl/Shift+scroll zoom and pan — the computer-use `scroll` action does not carry a modifier, so the fix that moved the wheel listener to the whole pane could not be exercised either over the ruler or over the lanes; tray context menu (Save Diagnostics, Update Settings) — the desktop shell is granted at tier `click`, which blocks right-click; Update Settings in general — dev build, `app.isPackaged` is false so the submenu is correctly absent; the illegal-AAC-rate snap end-to-end — no 96 kHz device on this machine, covered instead by the helper's own `audio_sample_utils_test` MF probes, which passed at build time. **Note, not a defect:** Escape does not reach the app through this driver (it failed to close the Edit Clip dialog too), so any Escape-based check here is untestable rather than failing — same conclusion as the rc.3 retraction. **Unresolved — do not read this row as clearing it:** the exported duration ran 0.48 s (≈13 frames at 30 fps) under the trim/speed arithmetic — 1236 frames against a predicted 1249, from source 46.300 s minus a 3.665 s trim minus 0.990 s saved by a 2.971 s span at 1.5×. Ruled out: the source being shorter than its container claims (`-count_frames` gives exactly 2778 = 46.300 s × 60 fps). Not reproduced under controlled conditions, and not attributable to any post-1.10.0 change — the trim/speed length arithmetic predates them — so it is logged as an open question rather than a defect against this slice. The silence check in the same run is also weaker than it looks: that recording was ambient-mic screen capture, i.e. mostly silence, so it could not have distinguished an `atempo` hole from the source's own quiet. Both are why the two checks above now demand controlled audio and frame-level arithmetic. |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the results row enumerate every unvalidated check.

The row says Partial — no defect, one validation unresolved, but it also says the ambient-mic recording could not validate the silence-boundary check. Count that check as unresolved or untested instead of implying that only the trim/speed arithmetic remains open.

The row also lists only a subset of the new checks as passed or skipped. It does not state the status of the remaining caption margin/migration/zoom checks, modifier overlap/annotation/Full Camera/export checks, software-encoder and long-recording checks, or AI/editor checks. Add explicit passed, skipped, or unresolved entries so this run cannot be read as complete coverage.
