with SnapShots turned off, captures still pending from earlier kept being drained on every route change and window focus, replaying the capture sound and stacking "no project" toasts.

the coordinator now skips draining and stops listening for snapshot events while SnapShots are off, so pending captures wait until the setting is turned back on. a capture that stays pending (no project, delivery failure) plays its sound and reports its toast once instead of on every drain. the desktop side already releases the shortcut listener when disabled on main.

verification (blacksmith): SnapShotCoordinator.test.ts 17 passed, including two new cases (off then re-enable delivers once; undeliverable capture reports once across focus and route changes). web typecheck and targeted lint pass (one existing render-ref warning). native macOS capture is unverified.

Closes #12769.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The coordinator now checks the live snapshot setting before subscribing to snapshot events or processing pending captures. It revisits pending captures after re-enabling and suppresses repeated error notifications for each capture.

Changes

Snapshot coordinator behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gate processing on the enabled setting
apps/web/src/components/desktop/SnapShotCoordinator.tsx, apps/web/src/components/desktop/SnapShotCoordinator.test.ts
The coordinator checks the live setting before draining captures and subscribing to events. Tests cover disabled behavior and delivery after re-enabling.
Suppress duplicate capture error notifications
apps/web/src/components/desktop/SnapShotCoordinator.tsx, apps/web/src/components/desktop/SnapShotCoordinator.test.ts
Missing-target and delivery errors are reported once per capture. Successful delivery clears that capture’s report marker. Tests cover repeated handling when no project is available.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b230

Turning SnapShots off while a capture is being delivered can still add the image to a draft, which is the behavior this PR is meant to stop. A delivery failure may also go unreported if a missing-project error was shown first. Fix the setting recheck before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b230

Disabling snapshots now postpones delivery, but captures without a previously recorded destination can resume into a different environment after navigation. Existing destination pinning limits this risk, and sending the image still requires further user action. The relevant native timing has not been verified in the running application.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: An in-flight capture without a pinned destination can finish while snapshots are disabled and later attach to a different environment after navigation and re-enable. The new pause extends delivery beyond the original routing context without carrying destination identity in pending metadata. Captures already pinned to an existing draft or thread are protected; downstream disclosure would require subsequent sending.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified exposure concerns captured content and destination drafts among environments available to the same desktop user. The inspected flow does not demonstrate access to an unauthorized environment or automatic transmission; its immediate outcome is attachment and persistence in the selected destination.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The conditional misdelivery path is: initiate capture while enabled without an established destination, disable before completion, let native persistence finish, navigate to another environment, then re-enable. Head resolves the unowned pending capture against the later route. The base could instead resolve it when ready arrived during the disabled interval. No attacker-controlled invocation or production reproduction was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Requested events pin an existing destination by capture ID. The pin preserves environment/thread identity across later route changes, and existing-target validation checks that the destination remains available. These controls substantially narrow the deferred-delivery concern to captures lacking such a pin.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Recovery still distinguishes an already-delivered capture only by current attachment presence. After native acknowledgement fails, removing the image clears that evidence; retry can therefore add it again. This behavior exists in the base and head and is not treated as a PR-introduced concern. The claimed acknowledgement-only recovery was not found in the reviewed implementation.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind deferred captures to an explicit destination context before pausing, or require destination confirmation when resuming an unowned capture. Exercise disable, native completion, environment navigation and re-enable together, with the expected ownership outcome made explicit.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem, the renderer-side change, verification results, issue reference, and unverified native testing. However, it does not use the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification headings. The Scope and approval section lacks approval evidence or an explanation for why this focused fix qualifies without prior approval. The description also does not provide the required before/after UI evidence, and it states that native macOS capture remains unverified while claiming to close an issue focused on native shortcut behavior.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the required headings. Add explicit scope and approval information, including the linked issue and maintainer approval comment, or explain why the focused fix qualifies without prior approval. Add before/after screenshots and a recording if timing or interaction behavior requires it. Clarify whether the renderer changes fully resolve issue #12769, and document the native macOS verification gap or complete that verification.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at df6ee00

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a localized web bug fix that prevents snapshot draining, sounds, and repeated toasts while the existing feature setting is disabled, then resumes pending delivery when re-enabled. The unchanged default and targeted tests keep the runtime impact bounded.

Notes:

  • Diff unchanged. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

failed toast, matching the no-project branch so repeated failures for the same

- Around line 263-266: Update reportOnce and its reportedCaptureIdsRef usage to
distinguish a missing-project notification from a delivery failure: when a
target becomes available, allow the first delivery failure for that capture to
be reported, while continuing to suppress repeated reports of that same delivery
failure on later drains.
- Line 284: In deliverSnapShot, recheck the live snapShotEnabled setting
immediately before adding or persisting the image to the draft, since the
setting may change while delivery preparation is pending. Preserve
acknowledgement for images already saved to the draft.
