In `@cmuxTests/ComputerUseOnboardingWindowTests.swift`:
- Around line 300-302: Remove the fixed three-iteration Task.yield wait loops
around the onboarding window presentation tests. In the present() and
configureForPermissionCompanion flows, assert the synchronously updated
isVisible state directly, or await an explicit completion signal only if setup
is genuinely asynchronous; do not rely on the notification-based wait because
ExternalApplicationWindowTracker is stopped by present() and not restarted by
configureForPermissionCompanion.
In `@Sources/App/AgentCursorPointerView.swift`:
- Around line 24-27: Update ComputerUseCursorArtwork.draw to remove the unused
width, height, roundness, and rotation parameters and their unreachable geometry
branches, preserving the scale, outlineColor, and outlineWidth inputs used by
AgentCursorPointerView.draw(_:).
In `@Sources/App/ExternalApplicationWindowTracker.swift`:
- Line 78: Update the termination matching guard in
ExternalApplicationWindowTracker to compare the terminating application’s
process identifier with targetProcessIdentifier instead of comparing
bundleIdentifier. Preserve the existing stopTrackingWindow and .unavailable
behavior only for the tracked PID, consistent with the identity check in
acceptWindowSample.
- Around line 308-313: Update the sampling logic around
systemSettingsWindowTracker so primaryScreenMaxY is refreshed from the current
primary-screen frame.maxY for each sample, or refresh it in the
NSApplication.didChangeScreenParametersNotification handler; ensure later
coordinate conversions do not use a stale Y origin after display or
menu-bar-screen changes.
- Around line 126-147: Add deinit cleanup to both
ExternalApplicationWindowTracker and ExternalWindowSamplingService, invoking
each class’s existing stop() through the established MainActor.assumeIsolated
pattern so timers, tasks, and NSEvent monitors are released during owner
destruction. Keep any nonisolated helper from directly accessing
`@MainActor-isolated` properties.
In `@Sources/AppDelegate.swift`:
- Line 949: Update the computerUseUXCoordinator property declaration to use
internal private(set), keeping same-module reads available while preventing
external code from replacing the AppDelegate dependency graph.

Line 160 treats twelve

…old artwork `untaggedRuntimeUsesBundleIdentityToIsolateAppVariants` builds its paths under the user's temp directory. When that path is long, as with a `/var/folders/...` temp dir, `socketSafeScope` hashes the staging scope to fit the socket path limit, and the test's exact `com.cmuxterm.app.staging` expectation fails. Use a `/tmp` socket root, as the tagged-runtime test does. `computerUseHelperArtworkMatchesTheCurrentAppearance` still expects a light plate in light mode and a dark plate in dark mode. Since manaflow-ai#12265 the helper icon is one bundled rendition for both appearances. Check that both appearances resolve to the same artwork with transparent corners, and drop the now-unused compositing helper. `computerUseFilesystemCallbacksHopSafelyToMainActor` picks the first running app as the activation target and can pick the test host itself, which the controller refuses to front, so the test waits out its one-minute limit. Exclude this process, as `backgroundActivityCannotFrontItsTargetAndViewResumesIt` already does.

Computer Use onboarding now has explicit command-palette entrypoints, the approved Icon Composer helper artwork, and a permission companion that follows System Settings while retaining the main permissions window.

Medium Risk
Changes macOS window tracking, global mouse monitors, and multi-window onboarding presentation during permission grants; mistakes could misplace the companion or steal focus from System Settings, though behavior is heavily regression-tested.
Overview
This PR expands Computer Use discoverability and reworked permission onboarding so users can open setup from the command palette and keep context while granting permissions in System Settings.
Command palette adds three feature-gated actions (full setup, Accessibility, Screen Recording) keyed off
computerUseUXEnabled, routed through the existing onboarding coordinator viaAppDelegate.presentComputerUseOnboarding. The palette dismisses before those commands run so focus/responder cleanup does not block the onboarding window.Permission flow no longer hides the main 600×440 overview or morphs it into the compact companion. A separate borderless, nonactivating floating panel sits beside System Settings while the overview stays put at normal window level. Placement is driven by a new
ExternalApplicationWindowTracker(window ID + PID, mouse-drag refresh, bounded background sampling, offscreen/hidden/unavailable handling) instead of the old activation polling and 30fps frame retry loop.Helper branding moves to a single Icon Composer source (
ComputerUseHelper.icon→ bundled.icns); runtime rendering drops the duplicated AppKit tile/cursor draw path. Copy and menu strings use colons instead of em dashes; onboarding helper notes and drag tips are clarified in EN/JA.CI e2e sets
