One defect that should block the promote: pause freezes the HUD timer and turns the indicator amber, but wgc-capture keeps writing. The file is 286.333 s against a 04:25 timer, and 17,180 video packets is exactly 286.333 x 60 - uninterrupted 60 fps straight through the paused interval. Neither sidecar carries a pause marker, so nothing downstream can excise it and the editor opens the project at 4:46.3. Whatever the user does while "paused" ships in the video. Capture and export are otherwise clean on this build. Two takes, both fragmented with mfra on the stop, exact packet-to-duration ratios, no dropped frames over 4m46. Export honours 720p/30 from a 1080p60 source and matches the source duration to the millisecond. A minor one alongside: the HUD language menu ignores Escape and outside clicks, though the blur dismissal shipped in this RC (54e1270) does work. The gap is the part worth reading twice. Transcription fails with "Failed to fetch" and the local STT server never spawns, so captions could not be turned on at all - which means the eight caption anchoring commits that are the whole delta from rc.2 to rc.3 are untested. The row says so rather than implying coverage. Also recorded: Parsec's elevated always-foreground window makes tray refocus untestable, the Store package shadows the NSIS install in request_access, and the HUD drag gate keys on the pointer staying inside the HUD's own window. Those cost hours here and should not cost them again. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The maintainer tested pause by hand and it worked. It does. The wall clock settles it: createdAt 20:25:52.208 against a file finalised at 20:30:56.754 is 304.55 s elapsed for a 286.333 s file - 18.21 s shorter, exactly the pause. The capture was suspended. The first draft compared the file duration against a timer read BEFORE the stop click. Tool round-trips here run ~20 s, so that gap was my own latency, not the pause. The packet count I offered as corroboration was never evidence either: a file is continuous 60 fps whether or not capture was ever suspended. The rule that survives is in the row now - measure against wall-clock elapsed, never against the last timer you happened to screenshot. Verdict goes from Fail to Pass with one minor defect, the language menu ignoring Escape, which was tested directly and stands. The STT paragraph is corrected too. The packaged whisper-stt-server runs fine by hand and asks for --model, so packaging is not the cause and the row no longer implies it. Two candidates remain unseparated: the asset had no audio track, and "Failed to fetch" comes from a call the code reading did not locate, since the local-file caption path uses IPC and OPFS rather than fetch. It worked in rc.2. That one wants captured stderr, not more inference. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The maintainer said STT is packaged and worked in rc.2. It works in rc.3 too. Relaunching with stdout/stderr captured and importing an asset that actually has an audio track produced: [whisper-stt] boot: model=...\whisper-ggml\ggml-small-q8_0.bin port=64720 ggml_vulkan: 0 = NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti [stt] done on whispercpp-vulkan: 15.0s audio in 0.1s (106.8x real-time) So the local server spawns, binds the GPU and transcribes. What actually happened in the first attempt is that the asset had no audio track at all - system audio and mic were off for that take - and the captions pane reports that case as "Failed to fetch". That message is the defect: it reads as a network failure and cost this run an hour hunting a broken STT server that was never involved. Two more finds from the same stderr. listProjects cannot read three saved projects: one ZodError where transcript endSec < startSec across segments, words and transcripts[0], and two SyntaxError on truncated or double-written JSON. They are skipped silently. And the content-protection flag does log its effect, which the row now records. Caption anchoring is present with exactly the model the cherry-picks describe - Bottom/Top, "long captions grow upward, the bottom edge stays put", 1.5% default inset. Where a caption actually lands is still unmeasured: the only transcript obtainable here came from a sine tone. That section still needs someone with a real spoken recording before promote, and the row says so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The maintainer confirms Escape closes the HUD language menu by hand. Claude Desktop swallows Escape before it reaches the app under test, so the synthesised press never left the driver - and GetForegroundWindow() returning the HUD does not rescue the inference, because focus says nothing about a key that was intercepted upstream. The companion observation goes with it: the "outside click" I tried landed on the HUD's own drag handle, which is not outside the popover in any useful sense. Third false negative in this row, and the third with the same shape - a measurement artefact of the harness read as app behaviour. The rule is now in the row: Escape is unusable as evidence from computer-use, and any negative keyboard result needs a by-hand confirmation before it is written down.

The maintainer ran the caption sections by hand on a real spoken-audio recording and reports them correct. That was the one thing this automated run could not supply - the only transcript it could produce came from a sine tone - and it was the last gap standing between rc.3 and a promote. Verdict is now Pass with two minor defects, neither of them a release blocker: the "Failed to fetch" message shown for an asset with no audio track, and three saved projects that listProjects cannot read and skips silently. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Clean-stop recording silently discards every take (no file, no sidecars, no project, no error anywhere) — reproduced 5/5 across audio configs and launch methods. Isolated to the finalize path: a SIGKILL crash-recovery test still produces a valid fragmented file, so capture and #375's fragmenting fix are unaffected. Captions (the entire rc.2->rc.3 delta) verified independently via pixel-measured exported frames, working around the recording blocker with an imported real-speech clip: bottom/top anchor margins match the 1.5% default to within antialiasing, both edges are pixel-invariant across different caption widths/line counts, and long captions measurably grow away from the anchored edge.

| | 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"). | | ||

| | 2026-08-22 | installed `v1.10.0-rc.3` — CI-built NSIS artifact from build run 32582966489 (`openscreen-windows`), App menu → About reports `1.10.0-rc.3`, native payload complete and uniformly stamped (19 files in `resources/electron/native/bin/win32-x64`, all `17:59:10`, so helper + compositor addon + av\* DLLs are one matched CI set) | Windows 11 26200, 1920×1080 @ 100% | **Pass — 2 minor defects** | **Pause works, and the measurement that says so is the wall clock.** `createdAt` 20:25:52.208 against a file finalised at 20:30:56.754 is 304.55 s elapsed for a **286.333 s** file — **18.21 s shorter, exactly the paused interval**, so capture was genuinely suspended. 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. | | ||
| | 2026-08-22 | installed `v1.10.0-rc.3`, macOS Apple Silicon DMG downloaded via Safari from the GitHub release (`Openscreen-macOS-Apple-Silicon-1.10.0-rc.3.dmg`), CI-built, notarized Developer ID (`spctl` → `accepted / source=Notarized Developer ID`, `Etienne Lescot (M4LK7C6S84)`), bundle `com.etiennelescot.openscreen` confirmed to be the only copy of that bundle on the machine (the sole other `Openscreen.app` on disk is an unrelated 1.8.0-rc.7 dev build in a different worktree, never touched) | macOS 26.5 (Darwin 25.5), M1, single 1920×1080 display @ 1× | **Fail — 1 new blocker** | **Blocker: a clean Stop from the HUD silently discards the recording — no file, no sidecars, no project, no error, no log line, anywhere.** Reproduced **5/5**: two takes with system audio on (~70 s, ~35 s), one with all audio off (~17 s), one launched via the raw executable with stdout/stderr redirected from the very first run per this checklist's setup step, one launched via `open -a Openscreen` as a differential to rule out the launch method — every one vanished the same way. The native layer is not at fault: the unified log shows a textbook-clean finish each time (`SCStream stopCaptureWithCompletionHandler`, `remakerFamily_handleLastStep … err 0 state finish writing completed`, XPC connections cancelled and invalidated in order), and `RECORDINGS_DIR`/`outputPath` in the captured stdout point at the right place. But nothing downstream ever runs: `ls`, a `find /` sweep, and a byte-for-byte disk-wide search for each recording ID all came back empty, no `.session.json`/`.cursor.json` sidecar was ever written, the projects directory never grew, no toast appeared, and the app's own stdout/stderr never printed a single line about the stop, successful or not. **This is not #375** — that failure logs `{"event":"error","code":"writer-failed"}` and surfaces a toast; here there is total silence at every layer, which makes it worse: nothing tells the user their take is gone. **A SIGKILL to the native helper mid-recording (the crash-recovery path, not Stop) works fine** — one kill test produced a valid `recording-1787433541525.mp4`, 117.7 MB, 1920×1080 h264+AAC, fragmented (13 `moof`/`mfhd`, `trex` present, no `mfra` — the correct shape for an abnormal stop), `ffmpeg -f null -` exit 0. That isolates the defect precisely to the clean-stop finalize path — capture and even crash-recovery writing both still work — and it means the #375 fragmenting fix is still intact and doing its job; it just never gets exercised on a normal Stop because Stop never reaches a working finalize step. Root cause not chased further (out of scope for a test pass): the likely culprit is the Electron main process's handler for the native helper's stop-completion callback either not firing or throwing before the file-move/sidecar-write/project-mint sequence, with whatever error results going nowhere. **Consequence: #418 HiDPI and the #375 clean-stop box shape could not be exercised on this RC at all**, and neither could most of the general capture-to-export pass — see below. One environmental note worth keeping separate from the app defect: a stray `UserNotificationCenter` process (once a 17-day-old zombie stuck in a hide/show loop, later a fresh instance respawning every few seconds around each record/stop click) intermittently grabbed OS-level "frontmost" status with nothing on screen to show for it and blocked every synthetic click until killed — this is a computer-use/host artifact, not an Openscreen bug, and killing the offending PID before each click was the workaround used throughout this run. **Captions (the entire rc.2→rc.3 delta) were still fully verified**, by working around the blocker rather than around the caption code: `say -v Samantha` generated ~52 s of real, multi-sentence English speech (about caption placement itself), muxed with a plain video track via a from-source LGPL ffmpeg build into an MP4, then imported through File → New Project → Import media — a path that is unaffected by the Stop defect and exercises the same transcription/caption/export code a live recording would. Auto-transcription fired on import (`Detected language: English`, 26 caption lines from 54.4 s, transcript accurate verbatim bar one mishearing, "Openscreen" → "Append screen") — confirms local Whisper STT works end to end on this Mac for this RC. Every measurement below comes from pixel-sampling **exported** frames via ffprobe/ffmpeg (`crop=1:1:X:Y` → rawvideo → RGB), never from the preview, per this checklist's own instruction. **Bottom anchor, default 1.5 %**: plate bottom edge at y=1063→1064 on a 1080-tall export — 16 px / 1080 = 1.48 %, matching the UI's displayed "1.5 %" — and that boundary is pixel-**identical** across two different single-line captions of very different width (741 px and 999 px wide, both centered at x≈959.5–960, i.e. exact frame center for `Center` alignment). **Top anchor, default 1.5 %**: switching Format to 9:16 (which also forced genuine multi-line wrapping — at 16:9 these ~5–7-word phrase-level captions never once wrapped, since `Max words per line` is 7 and the segmenter already keeps phrases under that) gave a plate top edge at y=28→29 on a 1920-tall export — 29 px / 1920 = 1.51 %, again matching "1.5 %", and again pixel-identical between a genuine 2-line and a genuine 3-line caption. **Long captions grow away from the anchored edge, confirmed quantitatively, not just by reading the UI's own helper text**: with Top anchored, the 2-line caption's plate spans y=29–251 (222 px tall) and the 3-line one spans y=29–353 (324 px tall) — same top edge to the pixel, bottom edge pushed down by very close to one text-line's worth per added line. **Left alignment**: plate left edge at a consistent x≈108 on the 1080-wide export, for both the 2-line and 3-line captions (a ~10 % left inset with no dedicated margin control in the UI, unlike top/bottom). **Right alignment**: exercised in the UI (selectable, no rendering glitch) but not pixel-measured in an export — not covered, for time, and low-risk given Left and Center both landed correct to sub-pixel precision off what is presumably the same layout code. **Distance-from-top/bottom was only pixel-checked at its 1.5 % default** — a user-adjusted value was not re-measured. This closes the gap the Windows rc.3 row left open ("the maintainer ran the caption sections by hand … the last gap standing between this RC and a promote") with an independent, automated, pixel-level measurement on the platform the feature actually shipped for. **#418 Retina/HiDPI frame-fill: skipped, hardware limitation.** This Mac has exactly one 1920×1080 display at native scale factor 1 (point size == pixel size, confirmed previously via `CGDisplayCopyDisplayMode` and consistent with everything observed this run), so any point-vs-pixel mixup — the exact bug class #418 was — is structurally invisible here; there is no second or HiDPI display to attach. **General capture-to-export pass, mostly blocked by the Stop defect above, but what could be checked passed**: app launch with stdout/stderr captured from the first run; HUD interactions (source picker, system-audio toggle, record/pause/restart/stop controls, Notes panel); editor (New Project, Media import, Composition/Cursor/Captions side panels, timeline); aspect-ratio switching 16:9 ↔ 9:16; MP4 export at both resolutions and 60 fps H.264 (a 54.4 s clip rendered in roughly 65–90 s); project "Saved" state and the projects directory growing correctly on import. **Not covered**: the app's own recording ending in a usable file (blocked); webcam PiP and microphone (this Mac has neither, per prior sessions); GIF export; AI chat/agent captioning shortcuts (no provider configured); Spaces-switch-while-recording, content-protection-visible-HUD-during-a-recording, and every other check that needs a completed live recording (all blocked by the same defect); deep persistence checks (migrated-project schema, modifier positions across reopen); whether the app's spontaneous restart of capture after the kill test (it silently began a new recording on its own, without a click, which also then vanished on Stop) is itself a separate defect — observed once, not isolated or reproduced enough this session to state as a confirmed finding. | |

Do not claim full caption verification while cases remain unmeasured.
The row states that the entire rc.2→rc.3 caption delta was fully verified. It also states that Right alignment was not pixel-measured and that user-adjusted distances were not re-measured. Add those measurements, or narrow the claim to the cases that were verified. This affects the evidence used to promote the RC.

actually measured, explicitly excluding pixel-level Right alignment and
user-adjusted top/bottom distances. Keep the existing verified measurements for
default anchoring, wrapping, and Left/Center alignment unchanged.
