- Add start_current_recording deeplink action (uses saved app settings) - Fix URL parsing: use host_str() instead of domain() for reliability - Add comprehensive unit tests for deeplink parsing (15 tests) - Add DEEPLINKS.md documentation for all available actions - Move Raycast extension from apps/raycast to extensions/raycast - Switch UX from Toast to HUD + closeMainWindow (cleaner for no-view) - Add start-current-recording Raycast command - Add extensions/* to pnpm-workspace.yaml - Use shared runDeepLinkAction utility in lib/deeplink.ts
- Case-insensitive display/window name matching (eq_ignore_ascii_case) - Camera permission check before listing cameras - Display::list() fallback instead of Display::primary() for headless safety - Log settings read errors with inspect_err before fallback - Move closeMainWindow() inside try/catch block - Fix DEEPLINKS.md: URL-encode unit example, fix nested shell quoting - Use start_current_recording for instant/studio commands (respects saved settings) - Soften HUD messages to 'dispatched' (deeplinks are fire-and-forget) - Update command descriptions to clarify they use saved settings
Aligns implementation with docs — capture_mode: null defaults to the primary display, so use the explicit Display::primary() API.

… pause-recording.ts
- Add screen recording, camera, and microphone permission checks to StartRecording and StartCurrentRecording, consistent with TakeScreenshot, SetCamera, and SetMicrophone - Add camera permission guard to SetCamera for consistency with ListCameras and SetMicrophone - Fix error message in deeplink.ts: macOS auto-launches installed apps so "running" is not required — only "installed" - Clarify command descriptions in package.json to distinguish instant/studio (mode override, saved device settings) from start-current (all saved settings) - Fix quote style inconsistency in open-settings.ts - Improve toggle-pause HUD message wording
…disable
SetCamera { id: None } and SetMicrophone { label: None } disable the device
and require no hardware access. Blocking them behind a permission check
prevents users from turning off a device overlay if permission was revoked
after a recording session. Mirror the conditional pattern already used in
StartRecording.
