feat(settings): persist recording setup and project appearance defaults#652My-Denia wants to merge 8 commits into
Conversation
Recording source, microphone and camera choices survive restart. Settings changes reach an already open recording page, including stopping previews and clearing a missing source on reset. New projects pick up saved appearance; existing projects keep their own.
Reset, title changes, and delayed prefs no longer leave the wrong device or source selected.
The selectedSource-only guard treated reset as a no-op when live selection was already null, so a stale lastSource could come back.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds persistent recording and appearance settings across Electron and browser mode.

Do not clear a source from a partial enumeration.
opts.types can request only "screen" or only "window". If a window is selected and another caller enumerates screens, currentLive is absent and this branch clears the valid selection. It then broadcasts null.
Only clear the selection when the enumeration includes its source kind. Alternatively, use a full screen-and-window enumeration for selection reconciliation.

Clear the previous settings before each load.
AppSettingsDialog keeps AppSettings mounted while it changes the open prop. If a reopened getAppSettings() call fails, snapshot and recording retain their previous values. The error state still renders the settings because only "loading" hides them. The save button is disabled only during "saving", so stale recording values can be persisted.

Ignore completions from superseded settings operations.
run applies its result after await work() without checking whether a newer operation changed local state. The recording controls remain enabled while a save or reset is pending, so an edit can be overwritten when the older operation completes. Closing the dialog does not cancel run; reopening starts a new load while the older operation remains active, and its completion can overwrite the new load result.
Use an operation generation for loads, saves, resets, edits, and closes. Apply completion state only when its captured generation is current. Add regression tests for the edit-during-save and close/reopen sequences.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Synchronize recording refs after commit.
LaunchWindow uses React 18 createRoot, so a render can be abandoned. The render-phase assignments can leave deviceReadinessRef.current and toggleRecordingRef.current from that render. The pending startWhenDevicesReady timer can then read those values and call a toggleRecording closure whose recording or countdownActive state was never committed. Recording may start, stop, or cancel incorrectly.
Move both assignments into useLayoutEffect:
Proposed fix
- deviceReadinessRef.current = {
- recordingPrefsLoaded,

Prevent duplicate pending recording starts.
startWhenDevicesReady has no in-flight guard. Multiple entrypoints can start polling while readiness is pending. Both loops can call toggleRecordingRef.current() when readiness completes. The bound toggleRecording cancels the countdown when countdownActive is true, so the second call can prevent recording from starting. HudRecordButton has no pending-start state or debounce.
This is a narrow, recoverable interaction issue. Use an in-flight ref to serialize pending starts.

Prevent the initial snapshot from overwriting a newer preference event.
The subscription can apply a new preference snapshot while getRecordingPrefs() is pending. The pending read can then resolve with older values and call applyPrefs, which reverts the mounted recorder.
Track whether the subscription received a newer snapshot. Ignore the initial read after that point.

Persist and report the selected source in browser mode.
selectSource ignores options.persist, and shimAppSettingsSnapshot() always returns lastSource: null. A selected source therefore disappears after reload. The Settings page also reports no source during the current session.
Persist the source when options?.persist !== false. Restore it during initialization. Return shimSelectedSource as lastSource. Clear the persisted source in resetRecordingSetup.

Summary
Add Settings for persistent recording setup and new-project appearance defaults. Screen/device selections and recording toggles no longer need to be rebuilt for every session. New projects use the chosen appearance; existing projects keep their own settings.
Settings changes also reach an already mounted recording page: resetting recording setup stops microphone/camera previews and clears the active source immediately.
Related issue
Refs #509
This adds a Settings page, persists recording setup, and stores new-project appearance defaults (including cursor/mouse, motion blur, and background/wallpaper). Appearance is saved from the current project rather than edited field-by-field. That covers the reported gap; leftover polish is listed below, so this PR does not close the issue.
Type of change
Release impact
Desktop impact
The settings UI, persistence, and shared Electron events change. Physical device and source workflows were tested on Windows; macOS/Linux hardware behavior was not tested.
Screenshots / video
Recording page immediately after Reset recording setup: previews stopped, audio/video toggles off, active source cleared.
