Conversation
- Exclude dead-weight `node_modules` from `app.asar` packaging: all frontend and electron main process modules are already bundled into `dist/` and `dist-electron/` by Vite, saving ~238 MB of redundant files. - Deduplicate assets in `electron-builder.json5`: exclude `wallpapers/`, `cursors/`, and `mediapipe/` from `app.asar` as they are already provisioned via `extraResources` for raw filesystem access by the native compositor, saving ~17 MB. - Exclude documentation assets (`demo.gif`, `preview*.png`) from `app.asar` packaging (~8 MB saved). - Exclude unused `ffmpeg-shared.exe` from Windows `extraResources`. - Restrict `electronLanguages` to the 13 supported locales, removing 42 unneeded Chromium locale `.pak` files (~20 MB saved). - Set `compression: "maximum"` in `electron-builder.json5` to enable solid LZMA2 compression for Windows installers and release archives. - Add `--optimize-for-size` V8 engine flag in `electron/main.ts` to reduce heap footprint across renderer and background processes.

Reviewed the packaging change end to end. The asar work is right and the asset exclusions check out: wallpapers and cursors resolve through ASSET_BASE_DIR (= process.resourcesPath) in the renderer and through sceneAssetBaseDirs() in the main process, dist/mediapipe has no renderer consumer, and the bundled main process requires only builtins plus electron, so nothing needed node_modules inside the asar. public/wasm/web-demuxer.wasm and dist/openscreen.png are correctly untouched.
One blocker, plus a few items that don't do what the description says. Details inline.
Two findings with no diff line to hang on:
asarUnpack: ["**/*.node"](lines 9-10) is now dead. No.nodefile travels throughfilesany more: the compositor addon ships viaextraResources(as thewinblock's own comment states), and onnxruntime is vendored intoelectron/native/binbyscripts/fetch-onnxruntime.mjsrather than being an npm dependency. Either drop the entry or rewrite the comment, which still explains the glob in terms ofonnxruntime-node.- The packaging reference wasn't updated.
technical-documentation/engineering/build-and-packaging.mdis the doc this config's comments point readers at, and it says nothing aboutnode_modulesleaving the asar, the locale pruning, or the compression setting.AGENTS.mdalso asks for the manual record -> edit -> export pass after any change touching preview or export, which is the pass that would have surfaced the blocker below.

…models and upstream fixes (#13) Capturia 2.1: new editor and capture features, plus the upstream open PRs that were worth taking. ## New features - **Record an area of the screen**: an Area tab in the source picker opens an overlay on the chosen display. You drag, move and resize a rectangle, and it shows the live size in physical pixels. The rectangle is validated and clamped in the main process, and the recording opens already cropped to it. Auto-zoom stays inside the area. Not offered on Wayland. - **Saved looks**: save the current appearance (background and frame, camera layout, cursor, caption style, and optionally the format) as a named preset, apply it in one undo step, and star one as the default for new projects. Regions, trims, zooms, crop and the transcript are never touched. - **Zooms at flagged moments**: Auto-enhance adds a zoom at every moment flagged while recording, using the same placement rules as auto-zoom. A flag that falls in a trim or on an existing zoom is reported, not duplicated. - **Right-click menu** on region pills and clips: Copy, Paste at playhead, Split, Delete. These call the same functions as the keyboard shortcuts. Also fixes Ctrl+C on audio pills, which did nothing before. - **Poster frames**: the project list and media cards show real thumbnails. They are generated by ffmpeg in the main process, cached, and made one at a time. - **Speech model choice**: Fast / Balanced / Accurate in AI settings. Each model is pinned to a SHA-256 digest and verified before it becomes active, and a failed switch keeps the previous model. - **Recordings folder**: choose where new takes are saved. The folder is set only through the OS picker. In that folder, only files Capturia itself names are reachable, after resolving symlinks, and it is never auto-cleaned. If the folder is unavailable, the app offers to use the default before the take starts. - **Pre-release update channel**: opt-in, and it never downgrades (`allowDowngrade` stays false). ## Taken from upstream open PRs Each one was rebuilt on our code where it no longer applied, and each carries its `Upstream-PR:` trailer: getopenscreen/openscreen#302, #386, #519, #520, #571, #617, #632, #640, #641, #642, #644. - #617 drops `node_modules` from `app.asar`. Verified: every npm dependency is bundled by Vite, since externals are Node builtins plus `electron`. `electron-updater` is a bundled chunk, and native addons load from `resourcesPath`. ## Fixes - **Windows Store verify step**: it looked the package up by the pre-rename name, `EtienneLescot.OpenScreen`, which is what failed the RC.3 Store job. It now reads the name from the generated `AppxManifest.xml`. - **Linux export on Intel Arc**: iHD accepts the dmabuf and then returns EIO on every encode, so every hardware export died at the first frame. Each export now probes one real frame and falls back to software if it fails. The mapped frame is also freed when `send_frame` fails. - **Windows microphone drift**: the 44.1→48 kHz path rounded every packet on its own, which added up to 3.75 s/h of growing mic lag. It now carries the position across packets with exact integer totals. 88.2/176.4/352.8 kHz devices now snap to 44.1 kHz, so they go through the anti-alias decimator. - **PipeWire test**: the vendored SPA 1.0.5 compares 64-bit values through an `int`, so the old probe modifier matched Intel X_TILED. The test now uses a modifier that cannot collide. CI now runs this crate's tests. ## Review and audit The integrated branch got an independent security audit and a separate bug hunt. Both were read-only, and every finding was verified by tracing the code. Fixed here: - **Self-update**: it could install a version other than the one the dialog named, or error out instead of falling back to "View Release". It now self-updates only when electron-updater's version matches. - **Recordings folder**: - The writable check always passed on Windows, because libuv ignores directory ACLs. It now creates and deletes a real probe file. - Renderer-named writes are contained after resolving symlinks. - A take keeps the path it opened with, so changing the folder's availability mid-take no longer reports "missing on disk". - The folder cannot be changed while a take is running. - **Poster cache**: one entry per source file, with no flicker when the duration arrives. - **Speech models**: switching is single-flight, and a settings dialog reopened mid-download joins the running download. - **Timeline**: a shift-click that deselects a pill no longer leaves it focused, which had made the menu delete the wrong pill. - **Area recording**: a flag zoom with no telemetry now centres on the recorded area. - **Saved looks**: applying a look is optimistic, so an edit made during its save is no longer lost. - **Saved-looks probe document**: it was invalid at import time. Caught in review before it could crash the editor. ## Verification - Both tsc projects exit 0. Biome is clean; the 26 warnings are the same as on main. The i18n check passes, with real translations in all 13 locales. - Vitest: 255 files, 3099 passed, 1 skipped, on the integrated branch. - Rust: compositor 216 lib tests plus integration tests, and pipewire-capture 84 tests. Both pass locally. - C++ `audio_sample_utils_test`: 97/97 under g++ on Linux, using stub headers. MSVC coverage comes from the `build.yml` dispatch on this branch, which never publishes without `release_tag`. - Every agent-reported claim was re-checked independently. For example, the model digests were checked against Hugging Face's LFS oids, and the electron-updater downgrade path was read in 6.8.9. ## Release note The speech-model change adds a `--dtw-preset` flag to the whisper helper. An older helper ignores unknown flags, so Balanced keeps working. The 2.1 release must still be cut **after** `build-whisper-stt.yml` has finished on main, so the installers stage a helper that understands the flag.

…findings - Unblock Windows installer by retaining ffmpeg-shared.exe in extraResources filter, required by audioPeaks, extractAudio, and extensionClip. - Add cross-platform test in audioPeaks.test.ts asserting that the Windows installer filter packages ffmpeg-shared.exe and excludes static ffmpeg.exe. - Retain macOS regional locales (pt_BR, zh_CN, zh_TW) in electronLanguages alongside Windows pak variants. - Extend scripts/i18n-check.mjs to enforce synchronization between SUPPORTED_LOCALES, appx.languages, and electronLanguages. - Revert electron-builder compression back to normal. - Move demo.gif and preview*.png from public/ to docs/assets/, update README.md and metainfo.xml, and drop redundant files exclusions. - Remove dead asarUnpack and redundant node_modules pattern from electron-builder.json5. - Remove unmeasured optimize-for-size js-flags from electron/main.ts. - Update technical-documentation/engineering/build-and-packaging.md with ASAR optimization, asset layout, and packaging footprint reference.

changed the title
main added Czech and German to SUPPORTED_LOCALES after this branch's last i18n commit, so the electronLanguages list drifted and the new i18n:check guard failed on the merged head. Add the two bare tags (cs.pak / de.pak) and drop the hard locale count from the packaging doc so it cannot drift the same way.

Approving after the final verification pass. The one blocker found post-review was the branch merging main (Sep 20) after its last i18n commit: SUPPORTED_LOCALES grew to 15 locales (cs, de) and the new electronLanguages list drifted, so the PR's own i18n:check guard failed on the merged head — invisible to CI, which never runs the repo-root check (the Docs job's i18n:check is the website's). Pushed f832db5 adding cs/de (bare tags) and de-hardcoding the locale count in the packaging doc; i18n:check now passes, all 18 checks green. Also verified on a local build: the bundled main/preload require only node builtins + electron (the @langchain specifiers in dist-electron are JSDoc comments), and the locale list matches app-builder-lib's removeUnusedLanguagesIfNeeded matching rules on all three platforms. PR description updated to match the final revision (normal compression, ffmpeg-shared retained, no V8 flag, 15 locales).

Summary
This PR reduces application package and installed footprint by eliminating dead-weight dependencies and duplicate assets from packaging:
node_modulesfromapp.asar: All frontend and Electron code is bundled intodist/anddist-electron/by Vite (the bundled main process requires only Node built-ins andelectron), eliminating ~238 MB of duplicate runtime packages insideapp.asar.wallpapers/,cursors/, andmediapipe/fromapp.asar, since these are already provisioned viaextraResourcesfor raw filesystem access by the native compositor (~17 MB).asarUnpack: no.nodebinary travels throughfilesanymore (the compositor addon and the onnxruntime libraries ship viaextraResources), soasarUnpack: ["**/*.node"]is removed.demo.gifandpreview*.pngmove frompublic/todocs/assets/(references updated inREADME.mdandmetainfo.xml), so they stop being copied intodist/and packaged (~8 MB).electronLanguageskeeps only the 15 supported languages, including the macOS underscore variants (pt_BR,zh_CN,zh_TW) so the.lprojfolders survive pruning on macOS.npm run i18n:checknow fails whenSUPPORTED_LOCALES(src/i18n/config.ts),appx.languages, andelectronLanguagesdrift apart — that guard is what caught the recentcs/deadditions.ffmpeg-shared.exestays inextraResources— it is spawned at runtime byaudioPeaks.ts,extractAudio.ts, andextensionClip.ts. The pre-existing exclusion of the staticffmpeg.exeis now locked in by a regression test inelectron/media/audioPeaks.test.tsthat runs cross-platform.THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md: points the MediaPipe model notice toresources/mediapipe/to match the actual packaged resource path.compressionstays"normal": a"maximum"attempt was reverted after review — differential NSIS packaging enforces normal compression anyway, so"maximum"only slowed builds.Results
