v4.9.4

4.9.4 - 2026-10-15

Highlights: Keep Peekaboo.app's granted bridge host selected after a command auto-starts an ungranted on-demand daemon, name macOS 27's renamed "Device Control and Data Access" Settings row in permission guidance, explain unsigned source builds such as Homebrew core's peekaboo formula in Bridge and daemon trust failures, and reject non-finite coordinates and regions.

• Keep a granted Peekaboo.app bridge host selected when an on-demand daemon started from an ungranted terminal reports missing Accessibility, Event Synthesizing or Screen Recording, instead of downgrading every caller's permissions until the daemon idles out. Thanks @joshua-koehler! #1073.
• Show macOS 27's renamed "Device Control and Data Access" Settings row for Accessibility and Event Synthesizing, and consistently name "Screen & System Audio Recording", in peekaboo permissions, MCP permission tools, and permission errors. Thanks @fry69! #1071.
• Explain in Bridge and daemon trust failures when the running peekaboo is an unsigned source build (such as Homebrew core's peekaboo formula) and point to the notarized openclaw/tap or npm install. Thanks @fry69! #1064.
• Reject nan and infinite coordinates and regions in click, move, capture live, capture action, see --region and the MCP click tool instead of dispatching a non-finite point or capture rect, and ignore non-finite agent verification target points. Thanks @rudycelekli! #1074, #1075, #1076.
• Update SwiftNIO to 2.104.0 and Service Lifecycle to 2.12.1, including its Unix signal dispatch-source leak fix, while preserving the Swift 6.2 and macOS baselines.
