fix(auto-away): stop spurious away toggling and restore on input#6
Merged
Conversation
Replace unreliable IOKit HIDIdleTime reads with CGEventSource keyboard and mouse idle tracking. Failed samples no longer clear away as fake activity; return requires a sharp idle drop from a tracked peak after a short post-activation grace period. Poll every 0.5s while away so keypresses restore Available promptly. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

I've just tested this and can confrim the implemented fix actually works out just fine on my end. Without this fix, auto away would enable itself, then almost immediately get disabled without any action on the user's part, which rendered the feature broken and of not much use. |

Ships PR #6 (xogium): replaces IOKit HIDIdleTime with CGEventSource idle tracking, adds peak/sharp-drop logic to ignore transient idle glitches, and tightens polling to 0.5s while Away for fast restore-on-input. Doubles as the first proper test of Sparkle's update cycle now that 1.1.2 has the entitlement fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
