✨ Core Capabilities

🕵️ Stealth HUD & Transparent Overlay

• Always-on-Top Glassmorphism: Translucent control bar designed to hover persistently above active windows (IDE, browsers, slides) without disrupting keyboard and mouse focus.
• Skip Taskbar: Runs without taskbar entries or system dock visibility to minimize exposure.
• Smooth Layout Adaptations: Electron height-matching boundaries driven by frontend ResizeObserver and MutationObserver transitions.

🧠 Multimodal Vision & Screenshot Analysis

• Region Screen Capture (Cmd/Ctrl + H): Automatically hides the overlay window, captures a screenshot, restores the window, and queues the image for analysis.
• Direct Vision Modeling: Screens are routed directly to Gemini/OmniKey multimodal vision APIs to extract text, understand diagrams, and analyze code.

🎙️ Mixed Audio & Desktop Loopback

• Dual Stream Mixing (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V): Captures microphone input and mixes it with the system output loopback to transcribe meetings, audio calls, or presentations.
• Echo Loop Prevention: Restricts delayed microphone audio routing to prevent feedback loops and gain screeching.

⌨️ Ghost Input & Ghost Writer Emulation

• Ghost Keyboard Mode (Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + X): Passively hooks keyboard inputs from other applications when CorvusX is out of focus, redirecting input directly into the overlay chat.
• Ghost Writer typing simulation (Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + K): Emulates human keystroke delays (100ms - 250ms) and introduces a natural 7% typo-and-correction rate to write solutions directly back into active code editors.
• Smart Indentation: Strips margins before typing to match your editor's formatting configuration.

🛠️ Configuration & Onboarding

• Onboarding Wizard: 6-step initialization wizard to configure opacity, theme preferences, API credentials, and global hotkeys.
• Settings Console: Multi-tier accordion interface to switch models, test audio loopbacks, and adjust UI variables.

---

🔒 Security & Privacy Safeguards

• Screen Share Shielding: Enables native window content protection (setContentProtection(true)) and sets opacity to 0.99. The CorvusX window will appear completely invisible on screen-sharing platforms like Discord, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack.
• Offline Data Integrity: All local transaction caches, settings logs, and screenshot queues are stored locally within the user's workspace profile directory.
