Make capture sessions continuous: click-capture + interval auto-capture

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.

[0.1.0] - 2026-06-10

Initial release.

Added

Welcome screen on launch: app title with three actions — New Capture (creates a guide, opens the editor, and starts a capture session), Existing Workspace (guide library), and Settings. The brand button returns to the welcome screen from any view.
Capture menu in the editor topbar: full screen / window / region / 3-second delay, paste image as step, import images, and capture session start/finish — capture no longer requires the global hotkey.
Continuous capture sessions: steps are grabbed on every OS click where the platform supports it (xinput on X11, PowerShell on Windows), with interval auto-capture (3/5/10 s) as the always-works fallback when click detection or global hotkeys are unavailable (e.g. WSLg/Wayland). The REC bar shows the live count and trigger, with Shoot / Auto / Pause / Finish controls.
New captures and newly added steps are now selected in the editor.
The app hides its own window during capture so screenshots show your work, not StepForge; hotkey captures restore the window without stealing focus.
Blocks panel: add and edit informational text blocks, code blocks, and tables directly on a step.
Focused-view zoom and pan sliders.
Guide-level placeholders editor (More ▾ → Guide placeholders).
Backups & snapshots dialog with one-click undoable restore.
Export dialog: editable per-format options, save-as-template, and a template manager (rename / duplicate / delete / share as .sfglt); Preview now opens the generated file in the default viewer.
Apply an annotation's style to all annotations of the same type in the step or the whole guide.
Keyboard shortcuts: tool keys (S R O L A T G N B H M U C), PageUp/ PageDown step navigation, Ctrl+= / Ctrl+- / Ctrl+0 zoom, annotation copy/paste (Ctrl+C/V), Ctrl+Delete deletes the step, Shift+arrows fast-nudge — plus a shortcuts reference dialog.

Fixed

Renderer scripts no longer collide in the shared global scope (the app previously failed to boot with a blank window).
Focused-view toggle persists correctly (step.focusedView.enabled).
Annotation style edits no longer steal input focus on each keystroke.
Step list stays in sync after saves and undo/redo.
Escape deselects the active annotation instead of deleting it.

Added (initial feature set)

Guide library with folders, favorites, title + full-text search, and a quick-actions palette.
Capture engine: full-screen / active-window / region capture, delay, pause/resume, global hotkeys, click markers, clipboard paste, image import.
Three-pane editor: step tree with substeps, statuses, hidden/skipped steps, focused view, autosave, undo/redo.
Annotation canvas: rect, oval, line, arrow, text, tooltip, numbered marker, blur, highlight, magnify, crop; normalized JSON scene graph.
Rich text descriptions, informational text blocks, code blocks, tables, step links, and placeholders (global / guide / system scope).
Single-file .sfgz share archives, linked guides with lock files, snapshot backups and restore.
Exporters: JSON, Markdown, Simple HTML, Rich HTML, PDF, animated GIF, image bundle, DOCX, PPTX; per-format templates shareable as .sfglt.
System/light/dark theming, keyboard shortcuts, settings dialog.
Offline guarantee: zero network code paths.
