Glimble 0.1.5

Duplicate gestures are now refused

Two rules that share the same gesture, modifiers, and scope are indistinguishable to Glimble — only the first one ever fires, so the second was a dead rule sitting in your list. Now:

• The rule editor names the rule that already owns a gesture and disables Save.
• Saving an existing rule onto another rule's gesture is refused too.
• Rule files that already contained duplicates are cleaned up on load. If a disabled rule was shadowing an enabled one, the enabled rule survives — that is the one that was actually firing.

Same gesture with different modifiers, or scoped to a different app, is still allowed: both are reachable.

New action: Media control

Map a gesture to Volume up / Volume down / Mute / Play·Pause / Next track / Previous track. Glimble synthesizes the same event the physical media keys emit, so macOS draws the volume HUD and transport keys reach whichever app owns Now Playing.

Brightness and fast-forward/rewind are deliberately not offered — they post without error but do nothing on modern macOS, so they would be dead actions.

Fixes

• An unreadable rules.json used to be treated as "no rules" and overwritten with the defaults. It is now preserved as rules-unreadable-<timestamp>.json instead.
