- New Capture sessions now start paused; the window only tucks away once
the user clicks "Start recording" in the capture bar instead of hiding
~1.2s after starting.
- The capture status bar is shown only in the editor view, not over the
library.
- Fix openModal/confirmDialog resolving as cancelled when an action button
is clicked, which made the step "Delete" button (and other modal actions)
silently no-op.
- Click-triggered captures now use the click-time cursor position for the
marker and arm the capture cache as soon as recording starts, so the
first click is captured instantly and accurately placed.

Users couldn't click into the app mid-session: every automatic capture
hid the window for the shot, so it vanished under the cursor. Under
WSLg minimize() is a no-op and isFocused() sticks true, so neither can
be used for control.
- Sessions now hide the window once at start and show a red tray icon
with Capture now / Pause-Resume / Open StepForge (auto-pauses) /
Finish; finishing or quitting restores/cleans up properly
- Opening the app from the tray pauses capture; resuming tucks the
window away again
- Automatic captures skip while the cursor is over a visible StepForge
window (cursor-based, not focus-based, due to WSLg sticky focus)
- Per-shot latency reduced: with the window already hidden the 350 ms
hide-repaint wait is skipped entirely
- OS notification announces the session; self-tests updated and green

The session previously only listened for the global hotkey, which is
unreliable under WSLg/Wayland — users got one screenshot and nothing
more. Sessions now layer three triggers:
- click-capture via OS adapters (xinput test-xi2 on X11, PowerShell
GetAsyncKeyState polling on Windows), debounced, ignoring clicks on
StepForge itself
- interval auto-capture (3/5/10 s) as the always-works fallback,
enabled by default when click detection is unavailable
- the existing global hotkey, plus a manual Shoot button
The REC bar now shows live count + active trigger with Shoot / Auto /
Pause / Finish. New captures and added steps are selected in the
editor (explicit reload(stepId) wins over a surviving selection).
Capture self-test hook (STEPFORGE_CAPTURE_SELFTEST) verifies 3x
hotkey-path captures and interval capture end-to-end.

- capture.js: window-mode falls back to screen under WSLg; app window
hides during capture (showInactive restore for hotkey path so focus
is not stolen from the documented app); region capture hides too
- editor: Blocks panel (text/code/table block editors), focused-view
zoom/pan sliders, capture context menu, paste-image step, share as
.sfgz, apply-style-across step/guide, annotation copy/paste,
tool-key shortcuts (s/r/o/l/a/t/g/n/b/h/m/u/c), PageUp/Down step nav,
Ctrl+=/-/0 zoom, Ctrl+Delete step delete, Shift-arrow fast nudge
- prompt2.md: prescriptive handoff checklist for finishing remaining
dialogs/topbar/IPC/polish work

- examples/: sample guide store, .sfgz share archive, and exported
output in all nine formats (JSON/MD/HTML×2/PDF/GIF/images/DOCX/PPTX)
- build_report.md now records packaging tool availability, fallback
policy, offline guarantee, and verification entrypoints
- artifacts_manifest.json with sha256 checksums for packages + samples
- CHANGELOG entries for the welcome screen and renderer fixes

Bug fixes from code review:
- Wrap renderer modules (canvas/dialogs/editor/app) in IIFEs: duplicate
top-level 'const api' across plain scripts threw a SyntaxError that
prevented app.js from ever running (blank window), and dialogs.js/
editor.js silently overrode each other's labeledRow/makeSelect
- Focused-view toggle now writes step.focusedView.enabled instead of a
nonexistent flat field that the schema dropped on save
- Annotation property edits no longer rebuild the panel on every
keystroke (focus was stolen mid-typing); debounced save instead
- flushStep/undo/redo keep this.steps in sync with stepMap so the step
list stops going stale after the first save
- Escape now deselects the annotation; Delete remains the delete key
Welcome screen (per spec): app opens to a title at top and three
buttons at the bottom — New Capture (creates a guide, opens the editor,
starts a capture session), Existing Workspace (library), Settings.
Brand click returns to the welcome screen.
Adds an env-gated dev screenshot hook (STEPFORGE_SCREENSHOT[_JS]) used
to visually verify welcome/library/editor views under WSLg.
