GitHub Actions built only on tag pushes, so nothing verified that main
compiles. Adds ci.yml running check, unit tests, clippy and a release
build on Linux, plus a Windows MSYS2 build, with both binaries uploaded
as artifacts.
Two issues would have made that workflow hang or fail:
- Unknown CLI arguments fell through the dispatch match into the global
hotkey loop, so `scythe --version` (a typo, or any unrecognised flag)
silently became a background hotkey daemon that never exited. Unknown
arguments now report the flag and exit 2.
- test_audio_probe asserts that a system audio device opens and emits
samples. Headless runners have no audio server, so the suite could
never pass in CI. The test is now opt-in via SCYTHE_HW_TESTS=1 and
still runs on a real desktop session.
Multicall dispatch used std::env::current_exe(), which reads /proc/self/exe
and resolves symlinks. Every installed alias therefore reported the stem
"scythe", so scythe-daemon and vrec-daemon fell through to client mode and
opened the HUD instead of starting the engine. The aliases shipped by
install.sh, the deb/rpm/flatpak packages and the Hyprland exec_cmd line were
all affected; a stale pre-consolidation target/release/scythe-daemon masked
it during local testing.
invoked_stem() now reads argv[0] and only falls back to current_exe() when
argv[0] has no usable stem. Verified against a packaged tarball: both daemon
aliases hit the running-instance guard while scythe, scythe-ui, vrec and
vrec-ui open the client.
The e2e guard also probed liveness with `scythe --status`, which calls
ensure_daemon_running() and so spawned a daemon while probing, then chased
its own tail. It now connects to the socket directly, records the running
daemon's command line and working directory, stops it gracefully, and
restores it on exit so a developer's recorder survives a test run.
Help text now reports the unified binary and marks --gtk as a deprecated
alias, since the GTK backend was retired.
- PROJECT_GUIDE: repository table with forgejo as source of truth and
spearzificial as the active GitHub account; explains that the oiupoyt
GitHub token is expired and why the username is pinned in the remote URL
so Git picks the right credential from the multi-account store
- PROJECT_GUIDE: document ShowOverlay and the retired-config table with the
reason each key existed without effect
- README: point releases, clone URL and CLI examples at the unified binary
and the spearzificial repository
- TODO_CHECKLIST: add the release pipeline, dead config, ShowOverlay and
e2e socket entries; note that pre-v0.2.18 src/bin paths are historical
ShowOverlay was declared in the Command enum but the daemon dispatcher had
no arm for it, so it fell through to `_ => {}`. Nothing could open the HUD
once it was closed except the --menu toggle path.
- daemon: spawn_overlay_once() checks the overlay pid file for a live
process and launches `scythe --menu` only when none is running, so
repeated requests cannot stack overlays
- cli: `scythe --show-overlay` sends the command, falling back to a direct
launch when the daemon is unreachable
Fourteen config keys were persisted and shown in the settings UI while no
capture, encoder, muxer or daemon path ever read them. Removed from
ScytheConfig, from the overlay state, and from their UI panels:
capture_source, replay_storage, change_resolution, resolution_w/h,
container_format, show_scroll_lock_led, autostart_on_game,
save_folder_by_game, name_by_game, language, ui_color_theme, record_enabled.
Unknown JSON keys are ignored by serde, so existing configs still load.
The e2e script also unlinked a live daemon's socket: it ran rm -f on the
socket path unconditionally and only stopped the systemd unit, so a daemon
started by execs.lua or by hand kept its flock while losing its path entry,
leaving the session broken until the process died. It now sends StopDaemon,
waits for the socket to disappear, and aborts without unlinking if the
daemon will not stop.
The multicall consolidation removed the scythe-daemon and scythe-ui crate
targets, but every packaging path still copied them, so a tag push failed
at the first packaging step and no release could be produced.
- release.yml: tarball, .deb and AppImage ship scythe plus daemon/ui/vrec
symlinks; AppRun execs scythe; Windows bundle copies scythe.exe only
- gitlab-ci.yml: artifacts publish target/release/scythe; Windows job
builds --bin scythe
- rpm spec and flatpak manifest install one binary and link the aliases
- NSIS installers target scythe.exe for shortcuts, finish page,
DisplayIcon and forwarded args, keeping legacy taskkill lines so old
installs shut down cleanly
Also make the gitlab fmt job advisory: it reported drift across 20 files
and build-linux hard-depended on it, blocking every build. A whole-tree
reformat belongs in its own commit.
