Feat: Add per-display review, app exclusion, usage tracking, and security hardening#1ma-04 wants to merge 30 commits into
Conversation
Adds a second Swift helper, screen-memory-appstate, which answers a newline-delimited command protocol on stdin. It reports the frontmost application and, per display, that display's frontmost window with the share of the screen it covers. It never reads kCGWindowName, so usage tracking keeps working if screen recording permission is revoked. The process is long-lived because usage polls every two seconds. Three features build on it: Per-display review. A toolbar filter narrows the day to one display and persists across scrubbing, playback and day changes; a day where that display has no data falls back to showing all screens and restores the choice on return. Clicking a screenshot opens a lightbox with zoom, pan, frame stepping, and Copy / Save / Reveal in Finder. Those three IPC handlers take the relative path and reject anything that resolves outside the storage root. App exclusion. Apps listed in Settings are skipped on a display while they are its frontmost window and cover at least a configurable share of it, default 80%. Coverage rather than strict fullscreen equality is what catches maximized and near-fullscreen windows. Only that display is skipped, and skipping happens before the file write, so no JPEG, no row and no OCR. The threshold applies live. Usage tracking. A new Usage view shows per-app totals and an hour-by-hour strip for the selected day. Tracking runs independently of capture, so it continues while recording is paused, and idle time closes the open segment. Segments are written on open and updated each tick so a crash cannot lose an interval. Totals also feed the AI summary. Migration 0001 only creates app_usage and its index. Existing Drizzle databases take it incrementally; the legacy migrator needs no change because its staging database runs the whole migration folder. Everything degrades to a no-op when the helper binary is absent: capture, timeline and lightbox work as before, the exclusion settings render disabled, and the Usage view shows an empty state.
Adds a CI workflow that runs the formatter check, lint, typecheck, the Swift helper build and a full electron-builder package on every push and pull request, uploading the signed .dmg and .zip as an artifact. The helper binaries are checked explicitly because a missing extraResources entry otherwise fails late inside electron-builder. Release stays opt-in: it keeps its v* tag trigger and gains a manual dispatch so a build can be published from any branch, defaulting to a prerelease. Its publish target now follows the repository running it, so a fork releases to itself rather than failing against the upstream repo.
The legacy database runs in WAL mode, so it is three files, not one. The migration treated it as one and lost data in two ways. The backup was a plain copyFileSync of the main file. Any rows committed but not yet checkpointed still live in the -wal, so a database that was force-quit backed up short — and the row-count check couldn't catch it, because it compared the staging database against that same lossy backup. Both sides were missing the rows and agreed. Checkpoint first, then copy, then verify against the live database instead. The swap unlinked the main file and renamed staging over it, leaving the old -wal behind for SQLite to replay into the migrated database. A repro against real files confirms it: the swapped-in database reads back the old rows, not the migrated ones. The swap now parks the original and its sidecars aside by rename and removes them only once the new database is in place, so no instant exists where neither is there. An interrupted swap used to leave no database at all, which the next launch read as a fresh install and silently replaced the user's history with an empty one; recoverInterruptedSwap() now runs before that check and finishes or unwinds the swap.
electron-builder names the release after the package.json version rather than the git ref, so pushing v0.2.0 without bumping package.json quietly published to v0.0.1. The workflow now reconciles the two and fails with the fix spelled out instead of releasing under the wrong tag; a manual run takes the version as an input and bumps package.json so the derived tag matches. Republishing was worse than wrong — electron-builder refuses to touch a published release older than two hours and still exits 0, so a rerun looked green while uploading nothing, and inside that window it would overwrite a live release's assets instead. A guard now fails the run when the tag is already published, manual runs default to a draft, and a concurrency group keeps two runs from racing for the same tag.
Four ways the helper wrapper misbehaved when the child process wasn't healthy. Any request with no live child spawned one immediately, straight past the respawn backoff — against a helper that crashes on startup, the 2s usage poll restarted it forever. Requests now fail soft while a respawn is pending, which is what every caller already expects, and the backoff gets to do its job. Exit was tracked with 'exit', which never fires when spawn itself fails, so a binary that isn't executable or isn't a valid Mach-O left a dead child in place and every later request timed out against it. Tracking 'close' covers both, and isAvailable() now checks the executable bit so that case reports the feature as off instead. stop() left the door open: pump() flipped `started` back on, so a request racing shutdown would spawn a helper as the app was quitting. The pipes had no 'error' listeners. Writing to a helper that just died raises EPIPE there, and an 'error' event with nothing listening is fatal in Node. Detaching a killed child now also drops its stdout 'data' listener, so a line still buffered in it can't settle whichever request the next child is serving.
Two independent holes let an excluded app land in the archive. capture() read the front window only after desktopCapturer.getSources() had already grabbed the pixels, so an app that was frontmost at grab time but dismissed before the check was captured anyway; the mirror case (an app coming forward during the grab) slipped through a before-only check. It now reads both sides of the grab and skips the display if either read sees an excluded app. Reading twice only means something if the second read is fresh, so getState() takes a max age and the post-grab call passes 0 to bypass the 1s memo the pre-grab call just filled. In the helper, a display's frontmost window was the first window with any non-empty intersection, so a window overlapping a neighbouring display by a pixel became that display's dominant app and suppressed the real one. Each window is now assigned to the single display it predominantly occupies, computed once for all displays. The Swift change is unverified locally: the Command Line Tools install on this machine has an SDK/compiler mismatch, so build:swift fails. CI builds it.
The lightbox was rendered inside whichever branch of ScreenshotViewer was active, so playback advancing the timestamp flipped the component between its focused and grid branches and remounted the dialog, throwing away zoom, pan and the frame the user had arrowed to. The branches now assign to one variable and the lightbox renders at a fixed position after it, keyed by the shot it is showing. Opening it also stops playback, since frames changing underneath an open lightbox was never useful. Display labels were derived independently in ScreenshotViewer, so a display could be "Display 2" in the toolbar and "Display 1" in the lightbox header. The labels from useDisplayFilter are threaded through and the local numbering is only a fallback for a display the filter has not seen. The coverage threshold input's min/max only coloured the field: a typed 0 or 500 was saved verbatim. It now persists only values in 1-100 and clamps on blur, keeping the field editable while a partial value is typed.
getUsageTotals summed min(ended_at, end) - max(started_at, start) without a floor, so a segment lying entirely outside the range contributed negative time and could cancel out real usage. The per-segment term is now wrapped in max(0, ...). Both range queries filtered on ended_at >= start, which idx_app_usage_started cannot serve, so the scan grew with the whole table. Segments close on idle, sleep, lock and quit, so none can outlive a day; adding started_at >= start - 1 day bounds the scan without changing the result. Idle time was credited to the tick that noticed the idle rather than to the last input, handing the app up to the full 120s threshold of time the user was not there. IdleDetector exposes the idle seconds and the segment closes at the last-active instant. Segments now carry startedAt so a close can never write an ended_at before the start. pickApplication returned null for both "user cancelled" and "could not read that bundle", so a failed pick looked like a cancel and the app was silently not added. Unreadable bundles now throw. useAppUsage reported available: true with no segments when the load failed, rendering a database error as "no app usage recorded for this day". The error is carried through and shown as an error. Adjacent bands in the hour strip whose bundle ids hashed to neighbouring hues read as one block; each band draws a hairline of page background on its leading edge, and its tooltip names the app.
The migrations folder and the two Swift binaries are present in any dev checkout, so a packaging regression that drops them is invisible until a user runs the built app and migrations fail. Both workflows now check the packaged .app for a parseable, non-empty _journal.json, at least one .sql migration, and both helper binaries present, executable and Mach-O. Exercised against a fixture in all four states: complete, missing journal, missing helper, and a non-Mach-O file in a helper's place.
Each carries the project-specific knowledge that is otherwise re-derived every session: the four edits an IPC method needs, the storage-root path rule, the kCGWindowName permission constraint, the broken local Swift toolchain, and the bug classes this codebase actually produces.
The previous fix assigned each window to the single display it overlapped most and let a display consider only windows homed to it. That reopened the hole it was closing, in a worse form: a window can cover display B entirely while having more raw area on the larger display A, so B ends up with no dominant window at all, no bundle id reaches the exclusion check, and B is captured with the excluded app filling it. Concretely, a laptop at 1728x1117 beside a 2560x1440 external, tops aligned, with a window dragged across the boundary: 100% of the laptop but only 1.93M px there against 2.41M on the external, so the laptop reports nothing. Before the exclusivity rule it was correctly skipped. Replaced with a floor: a window has to occupy at least 2% of a display before it can be that display's frontmost window. A one-pixel spill no longer masks the app behind it, and a window filling two displays is reported on both. Also removes the tie-break where two displays with identical bounds left the second one permanently empty. Still not compiled locally — the Command Line Tools install on this machine has an SDK/compiler mismatch. CI builds it.
Number('') is 0 and Number.isFinite(0) is true, so clearing the field and
clicking away took the finite branch, clamped 0 up to 1 and saved it — the
DEFAULT_THRESHOLD fallback was unreachable. The setting applies live, so
from then on any excluded app that was merely frontmost and covered 1% of
a display suppressed that display's screenshots entirely: a small Messages
window in a corner silently blanks a whole monitor out of the archive.
An empty or unparseable field now means "no new value" and leaves the
saved one alone. type="number" also yields "" for partial entries like
"-" or "1e", which took the same path.
Day queries only look back MAX_SEGMENT_SPAN_MS for a segment that might overlap them. That bound was justified by an argument — segments close on idle, sleep, lock and quit — rather than enforced, so anything that keeps the HID idle timer from reaching 120s (caffeinate -u, a jiggler, some remote-desktop stacks) could extend one row past a day. It would then vanish from every day it covers but the first, with no warning: the app used all day shows zero. UsageService now closes and reopens the segment once it reaches the span, which makes the bound an invariant instead of an assumption. The constant moved to shared/constants.ts so the query and the writer cannot drift. Also corrects the previous commit message on this file: the max(0, ...) added there is defensive, not a fix. The WHERE clause was already the full overlap predicate, so the clamped term could only go negative on a row with ended_at < started_at, which nothing can write.
getState(0) skipped the cache and then returned this.inFlightState unconditionally, so a caller demanding the world *now* was handed whatever round-trip happened to be open — possibly one that started before the thing it was trying to observe. Capture's post-grab read depends on that freshness, and got it only by accident of timing. An in-flight request is the same staleness as the cache, so it now answers to the same age limit. The finally clears the field only when it is still the current request, since a fresher one can now replace it. Hardening: I could not construct a sequence where the old code produced a wrong capture decision, because the pre-grab read drains any pending request before getSources() starts.
The check claimed to catch a helper built for the wrong architecture, but `file | grep Mach-O` accepts an x86_64 binary in an arm64 bundle just as happily — exactly the build that spawns, dies, and surfaces as "feature unavailable" rather than as a broken package. It now compares lipo -archs against an expected arch, passed explicitly by both workflows. Exercised against fixtures in six states: complete, wrong-arch helper, non-Mach-O helper, missing helper, empty journal, and no .sql migrations.
Test/multi display usage tracking
The app calls autoUpdater.checkForUpdates() at startup, but every check has been failing: electron-updater reads its feed from Contents/Resources/app-update.yml, and that file was never written into the bundle. The error handler only console.errors, so the symptom was silence. electron-builder does write it — but only during a pack whose targets include dmg or zip. Our build satisfies that in neither phase: `--dir` replaces the configured targets with ["dir"], and the later `--prepackaged` pass returns out of doPack() before the hook that writes the file ever runs. Verified by packing both phases locally and inspecting Resources: latest-mac.yml (the server-side manifest) is produced, app-update.yml is not. Write it explicitly in both workflows, before the ad-hoc signature so the seal covers it. Owner and repo come from the github context rather than from electron-builder.yml's hardcoded upstream values, matching what the publish step already does with -c.publish.* — so a fork's builds update from the fork. verify-packaged-app.sh now asserts the file is present and non-empty, which puts this in the same class as the extraResources checks: a defect that only exists in the packaged bundle, the one build local development never exercises.
Minor bump for the merged feature work: per-display review, coverage-based app exclusion, and app usage tracking. The release guide had drifted from the workflow it documents. It said a tag push may produce a draft to publish — it never does; draft is only reachable via workflow_dispatch. It also recommended deleting and recreating tags, which the "ensure the release tag is free" guard now rejects for published releases, and omitted that `git push --tags` can fire extra release runs for old local tags. Corrected those, documented the app-update.yml requirement under the auto-updater troubleshooting section, and noted that a fork needs -R on every gh command since gh resolves the default repo to upstream.

Claude Code custom subagents tools Bash read-only permissions official documentation
💡 Result:
Claude Code includes specific built-in mechanisms for handling Bash commands and read-only operations, as well as features for defining custom tools and subagents. Bash Read-Only Permissions Claude Code automatically recognizes a built-in set of Bash commands as read-only [1][2]. These commands execute without requiring a permission prompt in any mode [1][2]. This set includes: ls, cat, echo, pwd, head, tail, grep, find, wc, which, diff, stat, du, cd, and read-only forms of git [1][2]. This built-in list is not configurable; however, if you wish to enforce a permission prompt for one of these commands, you can explicitly add an ask or deny rule in your settings [1][2]. Additionally, Claude Code will prompt for approval if it cannot fully parse a command or if the command exceeds 10,000 characters [1][2]. Custom Tools You can extend Claude Code with custom tools by using the Claude Agent SDK and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers [3][4]. - Definition: Custom tools are defined using the SDK's in-process MCP server [3]. You define functions with input schemas and handlers, and then bundle them into an MCP server [3]. - Integration: Pass the created MCP server to the query options via the mcpServers parameter [3]. - Permissions: By listing the tool's fully qualified name (mcp{server_name}{tool_name}) in your allowedTools list, you can allow the tool to run without a permission prompt [3]. Custom Subagents Subagents are specialized agents designed for task-specific workflows [5][6]. - Definition: You can define subagents programmatically via the agents parameter in your query, or via filesystem-based markdown files in.claude/agents/ directories [7]. - Configuration: When creating custom subagents, you can restrict their capabilities using the tools and disallowedTools fields in their definition [5][6]. If omitted, a subagent inherits every tool available to it [7][6]. - Permission Mode: Subagent definitions support various frontmatter fields, such as permissionMode, to control how they interact with your environment [5][6]. For auto-approval of subagent invocations, include the Agent tool in your allowedTools list [7]. Official Documentation Detailed information on these features can be found in the official Claude Code documentation: - Custom Tools: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/custom-tools - Subagents: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents - Permissions: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions - Tools Reference: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/tools-reference

site:code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents permissionMode plan Bash subagent read-only
💡 Result:
In the context of Claude Code, the plan subagent is a specialized subagent designed for codebase research [1]. When using the plan permission mode or invoking the plan subagent, it is configured with read-only tools, meaning it has permission to read files but is denied write and edit operations [1]. This setup ensures that exploration output remains in a separate context window while the main conversation remains read-only, allowing the agent to gather necessary context before presenting a plan [1]. Although the plan subagent is restricted to read-only operations, other permission modes or specific security settings may still trigger prompts for sensitive or potentially destructive actions [1].

If you were looking for specific TypeScript utility files named day-range.ts or usage.ts, these are common naming conventions in TypeScript applications, especially in Electron or web-based analytics projects [6][7][8][9][10]. For instance, day-range.ts files typically handle date-range normalization for analytics [6][11], while usage.ts files often manage IPC handlers for monitoring or reporting AI token usage [8][9][10].

Keep the segment-span invariant compatible with the query bound.
A segment is closed only when a polling tick runs after MAX_SEGMENT_SPAN_MS. It can therefore exceed that bound by at least one polling interval. The repository then excludes a segment that started before start - MAX_SEGMENT_SPAN_MS, even when it overlaps the requested day. This omits usage from the usage view and AI summary.

Report the closed state when the viewer unmounts.
The effect only reports false when lightboxShot becomes null. It reports nothing when ScreenshotViewer unmounts with the lightbox still open. TimelineView stops rendering ScreenshotViewer when loading becomes true, and App stops rendering TimelineView when viewMode changes. In those cases the lightbox disappears with its component state, but App keeps lightboxOpen === true. Playback keyboard shortcuts then stay disabled until the user opens and closes the lightbox again.

The helper reported a frozen frontmost app for its entire life. AppKit refreshes NSWorkspace from workspace notifications delivered on the run loop, and the helper blocked its only thread in readLine(), so `frontmostApplication` stayed pinned to whatever was in front when it spawned. The app shows a window just before starting the helper, so that was usually Screen Memory itself — and UsageService skips its own pid. Usage tracking therefore recorded nothing at all rather than recording the wrong thing, which is why it failed silently: seven hours of real use produced zero rows while capture ran normally. stdin now runs on its own thread and the main thread runs a run loop, with frontmost read from didActivateApplicationNotification rather than by re-reading the cached property. Commands are handled back on main, so they stay serialized against the observer and replies keep their request order — the parent matches each reply to the one request it has in flight. The same freeze pinned `runningApplications`, so the app-exclusion picker never showed anything launched after startup. It recovers with the run loop; no extra observers needed. Verified against both modes with a probe before the change: with no run loop the property and a registered observer both stay frozen and `runningApplications` is pinned; with one, all three track immediately. scripts/check-appstate-liveness.sh catches a regression. Nothing static can: the binary builds, spawns and answers every request, and a one-shot invocation always answers correctly because the process is fresh. It takes a long-lived helper watched across a real app switch, so it needs a human and stays out of CI.
The view read its day once and never again. The window is hidden and shown from the tray rather than remounted, so an open Usage view showed whatever was true when it was first opened, indefinitely — the displayed time never moved even once data was being recorded. Today is now re-read every 15s and on window focus. Earlier days are finished and still read once. A refresh that fails keeps the last good view instead of replacing it with an error; only a first load has nothing better to show. Responses carry a sequence number because the interval and a focus can overlap and are not guaranteed to land in order.
The script exited 1 on every run, including its successes: closing the fifo write end is what makes the helper exit, so the EXIT trap's kill failed, and under set -e the trap aborted there and handed its own status to the shell. That also skipped the temp-dir removal, leaking a directory and a fifo per run, and it made the release-guide checklist item unsatisfiable. A helper that died at startup was worse than useless: the next write to the reader-less fifo killed the script with SIGPIPE before it printed anything, so the one failure it exists to catch produced no diagnosis at all. Helper stderr also went into the reply file, where a crash message counted as a reply and selected the wrong error message.
Usage tracking recorded nothing in v0.1.0: the appstate helper blocked its only thread reading stdin, so AppKit never delivered the workspace notifications it refreshes NSWorkspace from, and the helper reported whichever app was frontmost when it spawned for its entire life.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Validate SECONDS_TO_RUN and compute SAMPLES without interpolating into Python.
$2 is inserted directly into the python3 -c program text. A non-numeric argument produces a Python traceback, and set -e then aborts the script with an opaque error instead of a usage message. Arbitrary expressions are also evaluated, so check-appstate-liveness.sh helper '1)+__import__("os").system("id")+int(0' runs shell commands.
A second problem is the floor. If SECONDS_TO_RUN is below INTERVAL, SAMPLES becomes 0, seq 1 0 emits nothing, the loop never sends a command, and the script reports "The helper answered nothing at all". That diagnosis is wrong.
Validate the argument and use bash arithmetic instead. This also removes the python3 dependency from this step.

Catch AttributeError as well as ValueError.
json.JSONDecodeError subclasses ValueError, so malformed lines are handled. A line that is valid JSON but not an object is not. For example [] or "ok" parses, then .get("frontmost") raises AttributeError. The traceback propagates through the command substitution, and set -e aborts the script before it can print any diagnosis.
The script exists to diagnose a broken helper, so it should survive unexpected helper output.

The picker read the running-app list once when Settings mounted, so an app launched afterwards never appeared and closing and reopening Settings was the only way to see it. The list changes when the user starts or quits an app, which happens outside this window, so regaining focus is exactly the moment it can be stale.
macOS keys the permission to the designated requirement, which for an ad-hoc signed build is a bare content hash and therefore changes with every release. Nothing in the app can carry the grant across; a Developer ID certificate is what makes the requirement stable.
Verified each reported finding against the current tree and fixed the ones that survived; the rest were unreachable or policy preferences. Excluded apps could be captured. getFrontWindows returned an empty map both when nothing was excluded and when the helper failed to answer, so a timed-out or restarting helper was indistinguishable from a clear screen and the excluded app was written to disk and handed to OCR. It now returns null for the unanswerable case and capture skips the cycle. The coverage threshold could silently collapse. onChange persisted on every keystroke, contradicting the comment above it. The debounce in useSettings coalesces writes, but the invalid states never call updateSetting and so cannot supersede a pending one: typing 9 toward 90, backspacing, and clicking away flushed 9 and dropped the threshold from 80. Blur already clamps and commits. Capture intervals were unclamped. Neither interval input had a min, and the value went straight to setTimeout, which clamps anything at or below zero to a millisecond -- a mistyped 5 turned capture into a disk-filling loop. Capture stalled on a wedged helper. The request timeout was the only failure path that did not drain the queue, so queued requests waited out the respawn backoff -- up to 30s of no screenshots -- while capture awaited them. Also: key the release concurrency group on the resolved tag rather than github.ref, so a tag push and a workflow_dispatch for the same version cannot interleave uploads and leave a latest-mac.yml whose sha512 belongs to the other run's DMG. Job-level concurrency cannot read its own step outputs, hence the resolve job. Cap the usage segment rollover at MAX_SEGMENT_SPAN_MS so segments honour the bound the day queries assume; guard the migrator's staging setup so a failure closes the handle and removes its files; and make the lightbox status an always-mounted live region, its only channel for reporting failures.

19-25: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider bounding the input before the regex passes.
src/main/ai-service.tsline 217 callssanitizeUntrustedScreenText(row.text).slice(0, 200). The sanitizer therefore runs over the full OCR row, and the caller discards all but the first 200 characters. Two effects follow:
- The pattern at line 6 uses
[\s\S]*?with a required-----END ... PRIVATE KEY-----terminator. On a long row without that terminator, the scan cost grows faster than linearly before the pattern at line 7 takes over.- The comment at lines 19-21 explains that truncation can produce a delimiter without its closing
>. With the current call order the truncation happens after sanitization, soDELIMITER_PATTERNSnever sees the truncated form.Truncating first keeps the regex work bounded and matches the stated rationale.

electron-builder mac identity null entitlements --dir prepackaged documentation
💡 Result:
In electron-builder, setting mac.sign.identity to null instructs the build process to skip code signing entirely [1][2][3]. When using the --dir target or the prepackaged option, electron-builder essentially treats these as unpackaged or pre-existing application structures [4][5]. Because signing is an operation performed on finished application bundles, configuring identity to null is a valid way to bypass the signing step during these specific workflows [1][3]. Key technical details: - Identity Configuration: Since electron-builder v27, all macOS signing options (identity, entitlements, etc.) must be nested within a single mac.sign object in your configuration [1]. - Skipping Signing: Setting mac.sign.identity: null explicitly disables signing [1][3]. If you do not set an identity and no valid certificate is found in your keychain, electron-builder defaults to skipping signing as well [3][6][7]. - Entitlements: Entitlements are only applied when an app is signed [8]. If you set the identity to null, any entitlements configured will generally not be applied because the underlying codesign process is skipped [1][2][8]. - Ad-hoc Signing: If you need a runnable build on your local machine rather than a completely unsigned one, you can set mac.sign.identity: "-" for ad-hoc signing [1][2][3]. This is often used for local debugging and requires careful management of entitlements (such as allowing unsigned executable memory) [1][3]. For prepackaged builds, you are responsible for the structure of the.app directory. If you are manually signing or notarizing this package later, you would typically leave electron-builder's signing configuration as null (or unconfigured) to prevent it from interfering with your custom process [9][3].

macOS codesign --force --sign without --entitlements preserves existing entitlements re-sign behavior
💡 Result:
When using the macOS codesign command with the --force and --sign flags, existing entitlements are not automatically preserved if the --entitlements flag is omitted [1][2][3]. When you invoke codesign with --force, it replaces the existing signature [1][4]. If you do not explicitly provide a new entitlements file using the --entitlements option, the resulting signature will not contain any entitlements, effectively stripping them from the binary [5]. To preserve existing entitlements during a re-signing operation, you must explicitly tell codesign to do so using the --preserve-metadata flag with the entitlements option [5]. For example: codesign --force --sign "IDENTITY" --preserve-metadata=entitlements "path/to/app" If the --preserve-metadata=entitlements flag is not used, codesign treats the re-signing process as a clean slate for the signature's metadata (including entitlements), unless new data is specified [1][2]. Forgetting to include this flag will result in an app that lacks its original entitlements, which often causes runtime failures or issues with features like App Sandbox or hardened runtime [5][6].

mac.identity: null makes electron-builder skip signing. The workflow then runs codesign --deep --force --sign - without either entitlement plist, which replaces the signature without entitlements. Use one signing path: let electron-builder sign with these files, or sign the app and nested bundles explicitly. Verify the final bundle with codesign --verify --deep --strict and inspect child entitlements before publishing.

Resolve existing targets before enforcing containment.
The lexical prefix check does not prevent symlink escapes. A path such as screenshots/link.png, where link.png points outside rootDir, passes Lines 16-18. The protocol can then serve the external target, and screenshot IPC can access it.
Canonicalize both the root and existing target with realpath, then compare the canonical paths. Update src/main/ipc/screenshots.ts to use the realpath-aware existing-file helper instead of resolveInsideRoot.

Electron safeStorage getSelectedStorageBackend basic_text documentation Linux
💡 Result:
In Electron, safeStorage.getSelectedStorageBackend is a Linux-specific API method that returns the name of the currently selected password manager backend [1][2]. When this method returns basic_text, it indicates that the application is not using a secure secret store (such as gnome_libsecret or KWallet) [1][2]. In this state, items stored via the safeStorage API are encrypted using a hardcoded plaintext password, meaning they are essentially unprotected [1][2]. The basic_text backend is typically selected in the following scenarios: - The desktop environment is not recognized by Electron [1][2]. - The application was launched with the command line flag --password-store=basic [1][2]. Because Electron relies on specific desktop environment detection (often based on environment variables like XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) to auto-select secure backends, users on unrecognized or custom window managers may default to basic_text even if a secure store is otherwise available on their system [1][2][3]. This API was introduced to help developers diagnose why encryption might be unavailable and to allow for programmatic handling of the fallback state [4]. It is available in Electron starting from version 25.5.0 [3].

setSetting stores the plaintext API key when safeStorage.isEncryptionAvailable() is false. migrateApiKeyToSafeStorage uses the same path, so migration can retain plaintext. Treat Linux safeStorage.getSelectedStorageBackend() === 'basic_text' as unavailable because Electron does not protect secrets with this backend. Reject API-key persistence until a secure backend is available.

Electron setPermissionRequestHandler permission string list clipboard-read
💡 Result:
In Electron, clipboard-read is a recognized permission string used within the session.setPermissionRequestHandler(handler) API [1]. When a web page attempts to access the clipboard via methods such as navigator.clipboard.read, this action triggers a permission request that your application can intercept and handle using setPermissionRequestHandler [1][2]. Key details regarding this permission: 1. Purpose: The clipboard-read permission specifically controls access for reading data from the system clipboard [1]. 2. Usage: Inside the handler function, the permission argument will be the string 'clipboard-read' [1]. You can then use the callback(true) or callback(false) function to allow or deny this request, respectively [1]. 3. Implementation: For robust security, Electron developers are encouraged to implement both setPermissionRequestHandler (for asynchronous requests) and setPermissionCheckHandler (for synchronous checks) to ensure comprehensive control over web API permissions [1][3][4]. 4. Related Permissions: Electron also supports clipboard-sanitized-write, which handles requests for writing sanitized content to the clipboard [1][5]. Historically, some clipboard requests were identified as unknown, but this was corrected in Electron versions (starting with PR #26172) to ensure they are explicitly identified as clipboard-read [2][6][7].

Electron 39 session.setPermissionRequestHandler permission strings clipboard-sanitized-write clipboard-read
💡 Result:
In Electron 39, session.setPermissionRequestHandler supports both clipboard-read and clipboard-sanitized-write as valid permission strings passed to the handler function [1]. These permission strings are used to control access to the system clipboard [1]: - clipboard-read: This permission is requested when a web page attempts to read data from the clipboard (e.g., via navigator.clipboard.read) [1][2]. - clipboard-sanitized-write: This permission is requested when a web page attempts to write to the clipboard (e.g., via navigator.clipboard.write) [1][3]. While these permissions are supported by the underlying Chromium engine and accessible through the Electron API, note that historically there was a period where clipboard-sanitized-write was not explicitly listed in the official documentation, leading to developer confusion [4][3]. It has since been documented as a valid permission type for the session handler [1][5]. When implementing this, it is recommended to also implement setPermissionCheckHandler to ensure complete permission handling for the session [1][6].

Electron v39 permission request handler clipboard-sanitized-write source
💡 Result:
In Electron, clipboard-sanitized-write is a recognized permission string used within the session permission handlers to control access to clipboard write operations [1]. When managing permissions in Electron, you should utilize two primary methods on the session object to ensure comprehensive control [1][2][3]: 1. ses.setPermissionRequestHandler(handler): This handler manages asynchronous permission requests that typically trigger a user prompt [1][2]. 2. ses.setPermissionCheckHandler(handler): This handler manages synchronous, silent permission checks [1][2]. For complete permission handling, it is best practice to implement both handlers, as many web APIs perform a silent check before falling back to an explicit request if the check is denied [1][2]. Example implementation: const { session } = require('electron'); // Define allowed permissions const ALLOWED_PERMISSIONS = new Set(['clipboard-read', 'clipboard-sanitized-write']); // Handle async permission requests session.defaultSession.setPermissionRequestHandler((webContents, permission, callback) => { callback(ALLOWED_PERMISSIONS.has(permission)); }); // Handle sync permission checks session.defaultSession.setPermissionCheckHandler((webContents, permission) => { return ALLOWED_PERMISSIONS.has(permission); }); The clipboard-sanitized-write permission was explicitly added to Electron's documentation to address earlier omissions [4][5][6]. It ensures that developers can explicitly allow or deny write access to the clipboard for web contents [1][3]. As with all permission handlers, you can use the webContents or the requesting URL within the handler arguments to apply more granular, origin-based security policies [1][7][8].

Use an allowlist for session permissions.
The current handlers allow every permission except six listed values, including future permission types. Electron 39.8.0 uses clipboard-sanitized-write for navigator.clipboard.writeText. Replace the blocklist with new Set(['clipboard-sanitized-write']) and use it in both handlers.

Add size and NUL checks to validateExcludedApps.
Every other validator in this file bounds its input. requirePlainText rejects NUL bytes and caps length. validateExcludedApps does neither. A compromised renderer can therefore write capture.excludedApps with an unbounded array, unbounded bundleId and name strings, and embedded NUL bytes. The values are later persisted and compared against frontmost-application metadata.
Apply the same limits used for the other allowlisted keys.

Track the latest write while it is in flight.
Line 73 removes the pending entry before persist completes. If write A fails after write B has started and removed its own pending entry, line 28 sees no pending write and rolls the UI back to the old persisted value. If B then succeeds, it updates persisted.current but does not restore the UI value.
Assign each edit a per-key revision. Pass that revision through persist and flushAll. Roll back only when the failed revision is still the latest revision for that key.
