v1.1.0 – Day 6: Exam Timer & Relay Hardening
🚀 Key Features
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Configurable Exam Timer | - Inline panel lets the interviewer pick any duration (10–180 min) before the test starts. |
- In production kiosk mode a hard-coded `durationMs` prop auto-starts the timer and hides the picker. |
| Grace-Period Auto-Submit | - When the countdown hits 00:00, the IDE switches to read-only, broadcasts an examEnd event, and shows a full-screen overlay
- Overlay reads “Time is up! Closing in 5 seconds…” then the app exits automatically. |
| IPC-Based Safe Quit | - Renderer sends a quitAfterTimer IPC message; main process calls app.quit() for a clean exit on macOS & Windows. |
| Relay Auto-Detect / No Double-Bind | - startRelay() checks ports 9000/9001 before binding.
- If a relay is already running, it logs “🟡 relay already running” instead of crashing with EADDRINUSE. |
| Heartbeat Endpoint | - HTTP /heartbeat on port 9001 returns the latest timestamp for external monitoring. |
| Focus-Loss Telemetry | - On window blur, the app immediately refocuses and sends a blur event to the interviewer console. |
| CI Packaging Job | - GitHub Actions now runs npm run dist on every push, producing ready-to-download macOS DMG & Windows EXE artifacts. |
