Exporters now interleave text/code/table blocks in the same order they
appear in the editor's Blocks panel (via a shared stepContentGroups
helper) instead of grouping by kind, so exported docs match the guide
editor's ordering.
selectStep() now also refreshes the Focused View controls and Blocks
panel (previously only done by renderAll), so switching steps no longer
leaves the previous step's blocks/focused-view sliders on screen. It
also flushes any pending edits on the outgoing step before switching, so
a later guide-wide reload (e.g. applying an annotation style to the
whole guide) can't discard unsaved text-block edits on other steps.
Markdown export now emits > [!NOTE]/[!TIP]/[!WARNING]/[!IMPORTANT] for
text-block callouts, giving them the same colored/icon-labeled treatment
as the PDF/HTML/DOCX exports on renderers that support GFM alerts
(GitHub, Azure DevOps wikis, etc.), while degrading gracefully to a
plain blockquote elsewhere.
- Description editor: blockquotes get a left accent line and muted color so
it's clear when typing in "quote mode" (matches the existing active Quote
toolbar button highlight).
- Editor block cards: each text block's left border is colored by its level
(info/success/warn/error) so Note/Tip/Warning/Important are distinguishable
at a glance.
- PDF/HTML/DOCX exports: callouts now get a level-specific accent color and
tinted background/shading (blue/green/amber/red), instead of all looking
identical except for the label text.

writeDescription/emitBlocks rendered each word as a separately positioned
Tj, advancing by our approximate average-glyph-width estimate — which is
much wider than real space/character widths, producing "This is bold"
style gaps. Render each line as one continuous text object instead
(PdfBuilder.textRun), so consecutive Tj operators advance using the
viewer's real font metrics.

PDF exports now preserve bold/italic/links/lists/blockquotes from the
description editor (via a new HTML block/run parser) instead of flattening
to plain text. Literal "[text](url)" links inserted by the editor's Link
button are converted to real <a> tags before rendering. Tabs and common
"smart typography" characters (smart quotes, dashes, ellipsis, bullet) are
mapped to their WinAnsiEncoding glyphs instead of rendering as "?".

Clicking Link no longer pops up "Link text"/"Link URL" dialogs; it
inserts [Text](Link) (or [selectedText](Link)) directly so the
placeholders can be edited in place.
- Enter now starts a new <p> (defaultParagraphSeparator) so line breaks
in the description box show up as line breaks in HTML/Markdown/Confluence
exports; htmlToMarkdown also handles <div>-separated paragraphs.
- Clicking Quote while already in a blockquote toggles back to a paragraph.
- Toolbar buttons (Bold, Italic, Bullet, Number, Quote) turn blue to
reflect the formatting state at the current cursor/selection.
Previously this wrapped the selection in a real <a> tag via
createLink. Now it inserts literal [text](url) markdown syntax,
using the selection as the link text or prompting for it if nothing
is selected.
Replaces the number-entry prompt with a scrollable side panel (so
large guides don't overflow the screen) listing every eligible step;
clicking one immediately re-parents the step. Context menus now
support submenu items in general via contextMenu().
Lets a step be re-parented under another step by entering that step's
displayed number, moving it (with its own substeps) to the end of the
target's substeps and updating the numbering accordingly.
Clicking Snapshot now opens a named-prompt dialog (matching the app's
modal styling) and flushes the current step/guide first, so the
snapshot reflects unsaved edits and is easy to identify later.
For linked guides, "Save now" now also writes back to the linked
.sfgz archive (reporting a lock conflict if another session holds it),
making the dedicated link/share button in the Guide panel redundant.
The toolbar Share button and More > Linked guide… menu still cover
one-off exports and archive management.
The guide panel's link button was a dead disabled control for local
guides. It now shares the guide as a .sfgz archive instead, while
linked guides keep the existing archive-management dialog.
Renamed "Style → step/guide" to "This step"/"Entire guide" under a
heading naming the annotation type, with hover text spelling out that
it overwrites every matching annotation's style in that scope.
panX/panY now represent 0..1 fractions of the pannable range rather
than absolute image positions, so the slider's full travel always
covers edge-to-edge regardless of zoom level. Pan Y is inverted so
sliding right moves the view up. Updated both the editor canvas and
core/raster.js export so they stay in sync.

The annotation canvas now renders as a viewport into the focused-view
crop region, matching what core/raster.js produces on export. Sliders
update the canvas live; annotation data stays in full-image-normalized
coordinates and remains correctly positioned, sized, and editable.

Add tests/checks/test_click_capture_selftest.sh: runs the real Electron
STEPFORGE_CLICK_SELFTEST session and asserts every scenario passes — 3/3
markers at 0.00% offset, 8/8 burst clicks kept on finish, the first armed
click captured (warmup click ignored), and the debounce (4/4). Picked up
automatically by tests/run_test.sh. Skips cleanly when the host has no
capture environment so it never falsely fails CI, but fails the suite on any
real regression in click->screenshot->step behavior.
Document the guard in ARCHITECTURE.md and CHANGELOG.md.

Root cause: warm-before-hide kept the window visible during backend warmup,
and on a restart that warmup could take several seconds (the stream backend
start waits up to 8s). During that visible window, clicks over the app were
skipped by the userIsInApp guard and clicks elsewhere were shot post-click,
so a restarted session looked like it stopped after one click.
- Recording is now 'armed' only after the window is hidden and the buffer is
primed. A new warmingUp flag makes onOsClick ignore clicks during warmup
(the window is covering the user's work anyway) instead of mishandling
them. Cleared on pause/finish.
- armRecording caps the warmup wait (WARMUP_MAX_MS=1500): the window hides
and the session arms even if the backend start hangs, so it can never sit
visible for seconds dropping clicks. The backend keeps coming up in the
background; the first click or two may take the fresh-shot fallback.
- A generation token invalidates an in-flight backend start whose session
has since finished, so a slow start can't install into a new session or
leave the starting-guard stuck and block the restart from starting one.
Tests: 4 new behavioral capture tests (warmup ignores clicks; pause/finish
clear it; armRecording warms-then-hides-then-arms; a hung start still arms
within the cap; a stale start is discarded and frees the guard) plus a new
end-to-end self-test scenario (warmup click ignored, first armed click
captured). 152 unit tests + all repo checks pass.

Per request: clicks of the same button closer together than
capture.clickDebounceMs (default 200ms) now collapse into a single step, so
accidental fast/double clicks don't each become a step. It is a leading-edge
debounce measured from the last *accepted* click, so a run of fast clicks
can't push the next deliberate click out — two clicks spaced beyond the
window (e.g. the reported 400-500ms apart) always register.
Replaces the prior 8ms duplicate-delivery suppression (subsumed by the
window). Configurable; 0 captures every click.
Tests (the point of this change is that it can't silently regress):
- 13 behavioral unit tests in capture.test.js that drive real onOsClick
calls with controlled timestamps and assert which clicks survive — the
reported 400/450/500ms cases, sub-window collapse, the 200ms boundary,
per-button independence, configurability, debounce=0, last-accepted (not
last-dropped) reference, session reset, and a full onOsClick -> queue ->
store integration check. No keyword/comment assertions.
- A fourth end-to-end self-test scenario (burst of 40ms clicks collapses to
1; three 300ms-apart clicks each register => 4 total). The marker/drain
scenarios set debounce to 0 so they keep stressing the frame pipeline.
147 unit tests + all repo checks pass.

The first screenshot of a session was late while every later one was fine.
Cause: on 'Start recording' the window hid first and the capture backend
started warming up after — creating worker, getUserMedia, first frame takes
~1s. A click in that gap found no buffered frame and took the post-click
fresh shot.
armRecording() now warms the recorder while the window is still visible and
only hides once frames are buffering (with a brief post-hide settle so the
first frame shows the user's screen, not the dismissed app window). Verified
end to end with a new self-test scenario that clicks 250ms after start: the
first click is now served a pre-click frame instead of a post-click shot.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>
The remaining 'captured slightly after the click' reports came from the
fresh-shot fallback, which grabs the screen when the click is processed
(after it). The previous lead change made that fallback *more* likely: a
frame now had to be >=120ms before the click to qualify, so on machines
where the capture stream can't always keep a frame that old buffered, more
clicks fell through to the post-click shot.
Make the click-lead a two-tier preference instead of a hard gate in
selectFrameForClick:
1. newest frame captured at least leadMs before the click (ideal margin), else
2. newest frame captured before the click at all.
Only when no pre-click frame exists does the caller fresh-shot. leadMs is
threaded through the stream backend to the worker so both selection paths
agree. Verified end to end: frames land ~120-170ms before each click,
markers stay at 0.00%, and the 8-click burst still saves all 8.

Real-world recording now saves every click with exact markers; the only
remaining nit was screenshots feeling a touch late. Add a configurable
click-lead (capture.clickLeadMs, default 120ms) that targets the screen
just before the hook timestamp, and tighten the stream sampling cadence to
50ms so a frame near that target always exists. Verified end to end: frames
now land ~120-160ms before the click (was 25-57ms), markers stay at 0.00%
offset, and the 8-click burst still saves all 8.
Also document the milestone in docs/CHANGELOG.md and remove an accidental
paste of Gitea commit-page text from it.

Root cause of 'I clicked many times but only got two screenshots':
finishing/pausing a session called backend.stop(), which cancelled every
in-flight frame request to null. Clicks whose PNG had not finished
encoding yet were then dropped — only the first few survived.
Fixes:
- Stream backend now *drains* on stop: it stops accepting new requests but
keeps the worker alive until frames already selected for queued clicks
finish encoding. stop({ immediate: true }) keeps the old abandon-now
behavior for an unhealthy worker.
- Two-stage worker reply: a fast 'frame-selected' ack pins the pairing and
proves liveness; the slow PNG payload follows. A slow encode (seconds on
software-rendered hosts) is no longer mistaken for a dead worker, which
had been forcing the post-click fresh-shot fallback (late screenshots).
- Queued clicks carry their guide id and are stored even if the session
ends while they wait in the queue.
- The tray gesture that stops a session is discarded by matching its
recorded screen position, not a time window — a fast workflow click near
the stop is no longer collateral damage. (Replaces the earlier grace
window, which dropped whole bursts.)
- A click on a display with no ready stream resolves null so the caller
fresh-shots the correct monitor instead of returning another screen.
- STEPFORGE_CAPTURE_LOG=1 prints one line per click decision; the
second-instance handler now surfaces the running window instead of
exiting silently.
- Self-test gains a fast-burst-then-finish scenario (8/8 saved) and the
marker/coordinate checks remain at 0.00% offset.
Tests: 133 unit + all repo checks passing.
