Summary

  • recheck macOS Accessibility only while the setup pill is visible
  • close the unfocusable widget as soon as the native grant becomes available
  • document the live refresh and add denied-to-granted regression coverage

Validation

  • 36 focused frontend tests passed
  • frontend typecheck passed
  • targeted formatting passed
  • targeted lint has only pre-existing CaptureWidget warnings

The dictation setup pill now rechecks macOS Accessibility permission every second while visible and closes when access is granted. Documentation and regression tests cover the denied-to-granted flow, including hiding the native widget. The polling loop adds timer cleanup logic that warrants review; targeted lint reports only pre-existing CaptureWidget warnings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CaptureWidget polls macOS Accessibility permission while the setup state is visible in Tauri. After access is granted, it returns to idle and hides the widget. Tests and documentation cover the behavior.

Title check ⚠️ Warning The title uses the required Conventional Commit format with scope, but it does not include an issue reference in the title or body. Add the issue reference to the title or pull request body.
Description check ⚠️ Warning The description includes a summary and validation details but omits the required Changes, Type, Testing, Checklist, and Release cadence sections. Complete the required template sections, including change details, type selection, testing, checklist items, and release cadence information.
Cross-Platform Default Parity ⚠️ Warning The new default reconciliation loop auto-hides the setup widget only when macOS Accessibility is denied; Windows and Linux always return true and never run it, so default behavior diverges. Move the reconciliation behind an explicit opt-in, or implement an equivalent default-mode reconciliation behavior on Windows and Linux.

- Around line 324-344: Update the accessibility polling test around
CaptureWidget so it also exposes or resets the mocked getCurrentWindow().hide
spy and asserts that hideWidgetWindow triggers it after the one-second timer
advance. Keep the existing assertion that the Accessibility setup pill
disappears, ensuring the test covers both UI state and native widget hiding.

Comment thread frontend/src/components/CaptureWidget.test.jsx
The recheck regression asserted only that the Accessibility pill text left
the DOM, so it still passed with hideWidgetWindow() removed and the native
capsule stranded on screen. Hold one stable getCurrentWindow().hide spy and
assert it after the poll (fails before the fix, passes after).

Resolutions:
- CaptureWidget.jsx: main's accessibility reconcile (#1609) supersedes this
  branch's setInterval version — it re-arms when the grant is still denied
  rather than only acting once it lands.
- CaptureWidget.test.jsx: both sides' coverage kept. The holder gains this
  branch's startMic alongside #1609's stable hideWindow spy, the
  handler-capturing listen mock stays (the dictation tests need it), and
  beforeEach resets both.
- CHANGELOG.md: both sides' entries kept.
