MeetingNotes 1.14.6 — Clearer recording controls

MeetingNotes 1.14.6

2026-10-07. Patch release for clearer recording-state feedback. GitHub release
is source-only; DMG/ZIP installers are built locally, not uploaded as assets.
The experimental remote-processing beta remains separate.

Clearer Record controls

• Record becomes “Recording active” and is disabled while the UI knows a
  capture is active. The keyboard/menu shortcut provides neutral guidance
  without opening another source picker. A capture started elsewhere closes
  an already-open picker. Rapid duplicate source clicks send only one start.
• If another start still races with capture startup or shutdown, the UI asks
  the recorder for its state and displays clear starting, already active,
  still stopping, or test recording guidance. It no longer displays
  Error invoking remote method 'recording:start' for that expected condition.
• The current recording is never stopped or restarted by a rejected duplicate
  request. The backend's single-capture protection remains unchanged. If state
  cannot be confirmed, the UI does not guess or claim a new recording succeeded.
• Permission/startup failures remain actionable errors, with the transport
  wrapper removed. Detected-meeting and retry/restart controls share the same
  message handling; expected busy states are neutral, not alarming red failures.

Verification and upgrade

• Full source unit suite: 1,209 passed, six skipped. The 16 new feedback
  tests also passed after correcting their test-table typing.
• All eight existing isolated Electron renderer modes passed, including
  duplicate clicks, active-state/shortcut blocking, stale-picker closure,
  truthful Stop/retry, genuine error alerts and successful-start transitions.
  The final capture fixture and its feedback screenshot were checked again
  after allowing the screenshot to paint.
• Main/preload production build, renderer/fixture types and whitespace checks
  passed. Scoped lint had zero errors and three pre-existing hook warnings.
• Patch version/README metadata are updated to 1.14.6. Dependencies and database
  schema are unchanged; valid source-test evidence is reused for metadata-only
  release preparation. No real microphone/call or account/vault acceptance is
  claimed. Installer VM testing is intentionally omitted at the owner's request.

Requires macOS 14.2+ / Apple Silicon. Keep a complete closed-app Library backup
before replacing the installed app. This patch adds no migrations and does not
move recordings or reset permissions/settings. Building does not install the
app or interrupt an active recording.

Local installers use the existing Apple Development signing identity and are
not notarized because notarization is not configured. They are not a
notarized public-distribution build.

See the cumulative 1.14.5 changes and upgrade guidance.

Local installer build

Built from release commit a78450b23c74bb6d51e1d9b839ca7ef31fb7632b on
macOS 27.0.1 / Apple Silicon. The fresh capture helper and Python 3.13.5
processing bundle were built from this release commit; Electron is 30.5.1.
Packaged 1.14.6 metadata, approved icons, graphics fallbacks and exact current
renderer assets with the new recording-state feedback passed inspection.
Deep/strict signature verification, DMG checksum integrity and packaged
Electron/native SQLite ABI checks passed (in-memory database only).
This is not real-Library/live-recording or installer VM acceptance.
