Clippy 1.0.15 — Stability & permissions

Clippy 1.0.15
A stability release. The app could quit on its own, preview panels could appear when nobody asked for one, permissions couldn't always be granted, and a handful of failures happened quietly instead of saying so.

Bug Fixed
The app quitting on its own
Hovering a dock icon could take Clippy down without warning. The preview panel let SwiftUI resize its own window while the window size was in turn driving the layout — a loop with nothing to stop it, which exhausted the stack and killed the process. It was never about your settings: animation style and preview size made no difference, which is why it looked random.

Dock Preview never opening
Dock previews are screenshots of other apps' windows, so they need Screen Recording — and Clippy never checked for it or asked. Without the permission, capture came back empty and the preview simply didn't appear, with nothing to explain why. It now asks the first time you hover.

Granting permissions
Choosing Grant took you to a System Settings pane where Clippy wasn't listed, leaving you to add it by hand with the + button. Clippy now registers itself before opening the pane, so its switch is simply there waiting — including after a reinstall or an update, which previously left the app unable to ask again at all.

Quick Preview's 1–9 shortcuts now ask for Accessibility too, instead of quietly skipping the automatic paste.

Previews appearing on their own
Four separate paths could put a preview on screen with nothing hovering it. All shared one shape: something started, the reason for it expired, and nothing re-checked before the panel went up.

Without touching the dock at all — Mission Control, Launchpad, switching Spaces and plain clicks on the Dock were all being read as "the user is ⌘-Tabbing", and any focus change during them raised a preview.
After leaving the dock — the in-flight preview kept working after you'd moved away and presented itself a moment later.
While sweeping past — moving the cursor across the dock on the way somewhere else was enough; the check ran as you passed and the preview arrived after you'd gone.
After closing a window from a preview — refreshing the panel could put it back on screen after it had been dismissed.
Saving an edited screenshot could fail silently
The save panel closed, no file was written, and nothing said so — you were left believing your annotated screenshot existed. Every failure on that path now tells you what went wrong.

Copied images going missing
If an image couldn't be written to disk, it never reached your history and vanished without a trace. The cause is now recorded instead of discarded.

The App Switcher appearing after you let go
Releasing the keys while the switcher was still gathering windows showed it anyway, with nothing left to dismiss it. The ⌘-Tab preview also now closes the moment Command is released, instead of waiting for another app to come forward.
