idlescreen v0.1.2
Second patch release. Metal glyph rendering, a fail-closed camera policy in the shipping saver, and a manifest-bound SBOM.
- Moves procedural glyph generation to a bounded Metal compute pass, keeping the CPU renderer as the deterministic fallback and test oracle.
- Enforces the generated fail-closed camera activation policy in the shipping screen saver instead of starting capture from an unverified preview hint.
- Preserves the last valid camera frame through short read gaps, clears it on lease loss, and stops the shared frame pump after its final consumer exits.
- Releases the Studio camera preview lease when a display-plan change alone quiets the previewed display, so the camera indicator no longer stays lit.
- Strengthens screen saver registration repair and WallpaperAgent refresh checks against stale, multiple, or identity-mismatched host processes.
- Renders the initial fallback frame synchronously so the saver never starts on an empty view while Metal initializes.
- Aligns the bundled camera agent's bundle and marketing versions with the app so upgrade staleness checks can tell one release's helper from another's.
- Reduces live camera mailbox work by rejecting duplicate frames before copying their pixel payloads.
- Adds an SPDX 2.3 SBOM bound to the signed DMG.
