Re-lands pingdotgg#12978 (b4cebe8), reverted in pingdotgg#22222. ActiveWindow.test.ts was deleted by pingdotgg#22557 after the revert, so only the macOS window selection cases this fix adds are restored.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Approved at Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused macOS snapshot bug fix that skips transparent or thin untitled helper windows while preserving normal dialogs and content-window ordering. The production change is isolated to active-window selection and is accompanied by targeted tests; Windows behavior and product defaults are unchanged. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules.

- Around line 129-132: The untitled-window skip predicate must require
orthogonal positioning in both strip branches. Update the bounds comparison
around MAC_HELPER_STRIP_MAX_THICKNESS_RATIO so the width-matching branch also
compares the relevant y position and the height-matching branch compares the
relevant x position, while preserving the existing size and offset checks.

Require orthogonal positioning before skipping an untitled window.
The predicate matches any later window with the same x/width or y/height. It does not check the other axis. Therefore, a frontmost untitled 800×50 window at (0, 600) can be skipped in favor of a later 800×1000 window at (0, 0). Apply an orthogonal-position check to both strip branches.
The existing offset test changes x, so it does not cover a same-x horizontal strip at a different y.

Confirming this on macOS with T3 Code Nightly 0.1.2-nightly.20261021.3499. With Chrome frontmost, SnapShot picked an untitled 2560x41 helper strip ahead of the browser window, and the attachment came out at 141x41 pixels. Thanks for re-landing the fix. |

On macOS, SnapShot captures the frontmost app's first on-screen layer-0 window. Chrome, Brave, Zed and Electron apps list thin, untitled helper strips ahead of their content window, so the SnapShot came out as a strip or an unreadable thumbnail instead of the window you were looking at (#16077).
The lookup now returns all of the frontmost app's layer-0 windows. It picks the first visible one, skipping transparent windows and thin untitled strips that line up with a content window behind them. Frontmost dialogs, titled palettes, offset utility strips and taller untitled windows keep their front-to-back order. The lookup output buffer is raised to 1 MiB because the script now returns every window.
This re-lands #12978, which was reverted in #22222 because it had not been run on a real desktop build. The code is the merged #12978 commit (b4cebe8) applied onto current main without changes. #22557 later deleted
ActiveWindow.test.ts, so this PR restores only the macOS window-selection cases this fix adds.Verification
