Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Linux system-audio capture for screen recordings, automatically included in saved videos.
    • Added timeline controls to align source audio and trim its beginning.
    • Added configurable video borders with presets, padding, opacity, corner shapes, and radius.
  • Improvements
    • Preserved audio alignment, trimming, and border settings in saved projects and exports.
    • Improved Linux recording reliability with independent system-audio capture.
    • Added support for source audio from local media-server URLs.

The previous Linux audio path spawned a fresh 'parec' / 'pw-record'
process on every recording and tore it down on stop. The
1.5-2.5s 'pipewire-pulse' attach cost was paid on every recording,
and the audio was repeatedly re-attached to the PulseAudio monitor
on each click of Record.

Replace the per-recording sidecar with a long-running capture:
- A single 'parec' / 'pw-record' process is started lazily on the
  first recording that wants system audio, and kept alive across
  subsequent recordings.
- A circular PCM buffer (60 s, ~11.5 MB) holds the most recent
  audio. Each recording marks a start offset; the export extracts
  the segment between the mark and the stop time and muxes it into
  the video.
- stderr is captured from the very first byte (was previously
  registered after a 750 ms grace period, swallowing the real
  'Failed to open audio file' error from libsndfile).
- The 'first stdout chunk' (the WAV header in the old flow, the
  first PCM chunk in the new flow) is the readiness signal; we
  don't use a 750 ms timer anymore.
- Capture is fully cleaned up in 'app.before-quit' so quit is fast.

The renderer's 'setRecordingState(true, { systemAudioEnabled })'
now fires 'markLinuxAudioRecordingStart' on the warm capture, and
'setRecordingState(false)' fires 'extractLinuxAudioSegment(endTimeMs)'.
On first use, the sidecar is started in parallel with the portal
dialog so the attach cost overlaps the user's source selection.

Two related fixes folded in:
- 'parec --file-format=wav' is rejected by libsndfile when stdout
  is a non-seekable pipe ('this file format does not support pipe
  write'). Switched to raw s16le/48 kHz/2ch PCM via
  '--format=s16le --channels=2 --rate=48000'; the WAV header is
  synthesized on extract with the same constants, so the byte math
  is correct on any sink.
- The 'capture' module-level variable is now only published after
  'start()' succeeds, so a dead 'parec' no longer reports as
  'isLinuxAudioSidecarRunning() === true' (which was causing the
  misleading 'Linux audio segment extraction produced no file'
  warning).

Cross-platform:
- Windows (WGC) and macOS (ScreenCaptureKit) paths are unchanged.
- The new module is gated behind 'process.platform === "linux"'.

Tests: 998/998 passing, 'npx tsc --noEmit' clean.
The Linux audio sidecar (PR webadderallorg#1) starts a few seconds before the
recorder, so the sidecar's WAV file is 'dialog_time' longer than
the video. The exporter delays the audio by 'dialog_time' to
align events, but the user can hear the sidecar's pre-recording
audio at the start of the output.

This commit makes that pre-recording audio user-alignable: the
Source track item in the timeline is now draggable, and dragging
it left/right updates the per-path start-delay override that the
preview and the export use.

What this commit changes:
- New 'source-audio' item kind in 'useTimelineDndBindings'. Detected
  by id prefix 'source-audio-'. The existing drag-to-move
  ('onItemSpanChange') bridge in 'TimelineEditor' now routes the
  source-audio span change to 'onSourceAudioStartOffsetChange' on
  the parent, converting span.start to a per-path delay override.
- The 'useItem' render in 'TimelineCanvas' now applies the
  per-path delay override to the source-audio item's visual span
  (the item is offset by the override relative to the clip). The
  source-audio item is no longer rendered as 'disabled' once the
  'sourceAudioPath' and 'onSourceAudioStartOffsetChange' props are
  present, so dnd-timeline's drag handles are active.
- The 'useVideoEditorAudio' hook exposes an
  'effectiveSourceAudioStartDelayMsByPath' that is
  'override ?? fallback' for any path the user has touched. The
  preview ('useAudioPreviewSync') and the export
  ('videoExporter' / 'modernVideoExporter' / 'audioEncoder')
  consume the effective map, not the raw main-process one.
- The five fields (the override, the current build flags, the
  state, the persistence schema, and the project-normalize
  function) are wired end-to-end.
- Persisted in 'projectPersistence.ts' as
  'sourceAudioStartOffsetOverrideMsByPath'; surviving project
  save / load.

Cross-platform:
- Touches only the editor (renderer-side). Capture paths
  (Windows WGC, macOS ScreenCaptureKit, Linux XDG portal) are
  unchanged.

Tests: 998/998 passing, 'npx tsc --noEmit' clean.
Complements the drag-to-align (PR webadderallorg#2) with a 'cut' capability:
the user can now type a 'Trim start (ms)' value in the per-track
Source section of the audio panel to remove the pre-recording
audio at the start of the sidecar file. The exporter physically
shortens the audio buffer at extract time and reduces the
effective start delay by the same amount, so the trimmed audio
lines up with the video at the right wall-clock position.

What this commit changes:
- 'SettingsPanel.tsx' gains a 'Trim start (ms)' numeric input per
  source-audio track (system / mic). It writes to a new
  'sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath' state in 'VideoEditor', which
  persists via 'projectPersistence.ts' as
  'sourceAudioTrimStartOverrideMsByPath'.
- The 'useVideoEditorAudio' hook subtracts the trim from the
  effective start delay for the preview, so the first 'trimMs'
  of audible content in the trimmed sidecar file lines up with
  the start of the video.
- The exporter's audio pipeline ('audioEncoder.ts') physically
  shortens the decoded companion-audio buffer at extract time via
  'sliceAudioBufferStart', the JS equivalent of FFmpeg's
  'atrim=start=<seconds>' filter. The 'effectiveSourceAudioStartDelayMsByPath'
  is reduced by the trim, so the audible content stays in sync
  with the video after the trim.
- New 'sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath' field plumbed through:
  * the 'videoExporter' / 'modernVideoExporter' config type,
  * 'audioEncoder.ts' 'process' and 'renderEditedAudioTrack'
    signatures,
  * the VideoEditor state,
  * project persistence (load + save),
  * the audio panel's per-track UI.
- Drag-to-align (PR webadderallorg#2) and trim are independent: dragging moves
  the audio, trimming removes audio from its start. Together they
  cover the full set of cases (fixed offset / pre-recording
  silence / both).

Cross-platform:
- Renderer + exporter only. Capture paths unchanged.

Tests: 998/998 passing, 'npx tsc --noEmit' clean.

- Around line 116-121: Update the extract method to return a detached copy of
the selected segment in both wrapping and non-wrapping branches, ensuring the
result cannot change while extractSegmentAsWav awaits getRecordingsDir().
Preserve the existing segment boundaries and wrap-around behavior.
- Around line 535-536: Update the promises in probeVideoAudioStreams and
runFfmpegMux to enforce a timeout: kill the spawned child process when the
deadline expires and resolve with the existing safe default, while preserving
the current exit and error handling.
- Around line 473-477: Update startLinuxAudioSidecar to cache the in-flight
start promise before awaiting newCapture.start(), return that same promise to
concurrent callers, and clear the pending state when startup completes or fails;
retain the existing capture guard and ensure capture is assigned only for the
successfully started instance.
- Around line 343-380: Update extractSegmentAsWav and the recording flow so
audio older than CircularAudioBuffer’s retained window is preserved, rather than
allowing extract to clamp recordingStartByte to the buffer’s earliest retained
byte. Persist marked PCM outside the circular buffer or stream it to a temporary
file before muxing, ensuring muxLinuxAudioSidecarIntoVideo receives the complete
system-audio segment from recording start.

In `@electron/ipc/register/recording.ts`:
- Around line 1773-1782: Import and invoke clearLinuxAudioSidecarPath in the
Linux sidecar handling flow after the sidecar path has been consumed, ensuring
latestExtractedPath is cleared for both successful and failed processing while
preserving the existing mux behavior.
- Around line 1942-1962: The set-recording-state flow currently starts
extractLinuxAudioSegment without exposing completion, allowing
store-recorded-video to read getLinuxAudioSidecarPath before extraction
finishes. Store the extraction promise in shared state, then await and clear it
in store-recorded-video before probing or muxing the Linux audio sidecar, while
preserving the existing success and failure logging.

In `@electron/main.ts`:
- Around line 1052-1056: Remove the unconditional startLinuxAudioSidecar call
and its catch handler from the process.platform === "linux" block in the startup
flow. Rely on the existing recording path to invoke startLinuxAudioSidecar only
when options.systemAudioEnabled is true.

In `@src/components/video-editor/VideoEditor.tsx`:
- Around line 1842-1853: Update the sourceAudioPathByTrackId useMemo to key each
track by the first existing sidecar path returned by the same resolution logic
used by the main process, rather than unconditionally selecting the first .wav
candidate. Ensure system and mic entries resolve across .m4a, .wav, and .webm so
trim and offset maps use the actual sidecar path.

In `@src/hooks/useScreenRecorder.ts`:
- Around line 1385-1394: Update the systemAudioEnabled flow around
prepareLinuxAudioSidecar to await and retain its LinuxAudioSidecarStartResult
instead of ignoring the promise. Ensure the corresponding
prepare-linux-audio-sidecar IPC handler returns that result, and display a
user-facing toast when success is false using the returned precise error
message; preserve successful startup behavior.

In `@src/lib/exporter/audioEncoder.ts`:
- Line 327: Update the needsSourceAudioMixing decision to account for positive
values in sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath, including single-sidecar playback paths.
Ensure VideoExporter and ModernVideoExporter route these cases through the
processing path that applies source-audio trims instead of processTrimOnlyAudio,
while preserving existing behavior when no source trim is present.

In `@src/lib/exporter/modernVideoExporter.ts`:
- Line 155: Update hasTimedSourceAudioFallback in
src/lib/exporter/modernVideoExporter.ts around line 1285 and
src/lib/exporter/videoExporter.ts around line 556 to also return true when a
sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath entry is positive, preserving the existing
sourceAudioFallbackStartDelayMsByPath check so trim-only audio edits select the
edited-track strategy.

Return a copy of the extracted segment.

extract returns views into the live ring buffer in the non-wrapping branch, and Buffer.concat in the wrap branch copies only that branch. extractSegmentAsWav then awaits getRecordingsDir() at line 363 before it copies the data at line 371.

The capture process keeps writing at writeIndex during that await. When the ring is full, writeIndex is exactly the physical start of the extracted region, so the oldest bytes of the segment are overwritten with newer audio before the copy. The saved WAV then starts with wrong samples.

Copy inside extract so the returned buffer is detached from the ring.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve system audio for recordings longer than BUFFER_SECONDS. When recordingStartByte falls outside CircularAudioBuffer’s retained window, extract clamps the start to totalBytesWritten - BUFFER_SIZE, so a longer recording produces only its final 60 seconds. muxLinuxAudioSidecarIntoVideo feeds that WAV at time zero; replace can truncate the video through -shortest, while mix can misalign the system audio. Persist the marked PCM outside the circular buffer or stream it to a temporary file before muxing.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add an in-flight guard so two capture processes cannot spawn.

startLinuxAudioSidecar publishes capture only after newCapture.start() resolves, and start() waits up to 30 s for the first stdout chunk. Until then capture stays null, so a second call passes the if (capture) guard.

Two callers do exactly this: prepare-linux-audio-sidecar (called from startRecording) and set-recording-state with systemAudioEnabled. app.whenReady() in electron/main.ts adds a third. Each call spawns its own parec / pw-record, and the later capture = newCapture assignment overwrites the earlier instance. The overwritten instance is never stopped, so its child process keeps reading the monitor for the lifetime of the app and its 11.5 MB buffer stays allocated.

Cache the pending promise and return it to concurrent callers.

Add a timeout to the FFprobe promise.

The promise resolves only on exit or error. If ffprobe hangs, it never settles. store-recorded-video in electron/ipc/register/recording.ts awaits probeVideoAudioStreams before finalizeStoredVideo, so the renderer storeRecordedVideo IPC never resolves and the recorder stays in the finalizing state with no error path.

runFfmpegMux at line 582 has the same shape and needs the same bound.

Kill the child and resolve a safe default after a deadline.

Clear the sidecar path after this handler consumes it.

getLinuxAudioSidecarPath() returns latestExtractedPath, which the sidecar clears only in markRecordingStart. This handler never clears it, and clearLinuxAudioSidecarPath is not imported at lines 34-43.

A following recording made with system audio disabled never re-marks, so this block still sees the previous recording's path. If the earlier mux failed, the WAV still exists and the previous recording's audio is muxed into the new video. If the earlier mux succeeded, the file is gone and ffmpeg fails with a log-only warning on every later recording.

Clear the path once the handler has consumed it.

Key trim and offset maps by the resolved sidecar path.

sourceAudioPathByTrackId always stores the .wav candidate, but the main process resolves existing .m4a, .wav, and .webm sidecars. On macOS, it can return a .m4a path while the maps remain keyed by the nonexistent .wav path. Trim and offset settings can then have no effect.

Surface a sidecar start failure to the user.

The portal stream now requests audio: false at line 1665, so Linux system audio comes only from the sidecar. This call ignores the outcome, and prepare-linux-audio-sidecar resolves to void.

When neither parec nor pw-record is installed, the user enables system audio, the recording finishes, and the video has no audio track. No message is shown. The sidecar already returns a precise error string with per-distribution install commands.

Return the LinuxAudioSidecarStartResult from the IPC handler and show a toast when success is false.

Both exporter classes gate the audio "edited-track" strategy (the only strategy that reads sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath) on hasTimedSourceAudioFallback, which checks only sourceAudioFallbackStartDelayMsByPath. When a user sets only a trim value (no drag offset) and no other OR-condition triggers the edited-track path, export falls through to copy-source/trim-source, and the trim never applies to the output file.

Adds the new 'Border' section to the video editor's left
settings panel. Ported from the `framexshot` screenshot app:
8 preset styles (Plain, Frosted, Smoky, Glow, Raised, Carved,
Outline, Frame) shown as a 4x2 swatch grid, plus sliders for
padding and opacity, and corner-shape buttons (Square / Rounded /
Pill) + corner-size slider.

Preview is wired: the border styles project to a CSS object
(borderStyleToCss) and a wrapper `<div>` around the video
element. State is persisted via projectPersistence.ts
(borderStyle, borderPaddingPx, borderOpacity, borderCornerShape,
borderCornerRadiusPx).

This commit does NOT yet bake the border into the exported
video (v2 in the BORDER_FRAME_SPEC.md). The export pipeline
ignores the border for now. That work is in the `renderBorderLayer`
helper already in src/components/video-editor/border/, ready
to be wired into the WebGL renderer as a separate commit.

Files:
- src/components/video-editor/border/borderPresets.ts (new): the
  8 style definitions + borderStyleToCss projection.
- src/components/video-editor/border/renderBorderLayer.ts (new):
  the OffscreenCanvas helper for the export pipeline (v2).
- src/components/video-editor/types.ts: add 'border' to
  EditorEffectSection.
- src/components/video-editor/VideoEditor.tsx: add the section
  to the section list, wire the state to SettingsPanel.
- src/components/video-editor/SettingsPanel.tsx: new borderSectionContent
  with 4x2 swatch grid + 3 sliders + 3 corner buttons.

Tests: 996/996 passing, npx tsc --noEmit clean.

79-83: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Base the frame geometry on the padded canvas boundary.

BorderStyleDef.padding defines the outer frame padding, and the CSS projection applies it before the wrapper border. In renderBorderLayer, ctx.translate(padding, padding) makes (0, 0, w, h) the inner video rectangle. The fill therefore never paints the padding ring. The caller note at lines 158-159 also places the video over that fill. The outer stroke is centered on the video edge, so half of it is covered by the video.

Reconcile the conflicting compositing comments. If the video remains on top, use (-padding, -padding, w + 2 * padding, h + 2 * padding) as the outer frame boundary. Derive the outer stroke, glow, inner stroke, inset, and sheen from that boundary. No current caller invokes renderBorderLayer, so this is an export integration defect rather than a current preview defect.

Connect border state to preview and export rendering.

borderStyleToCss and renderBorderLayer have no reachable preview or export call site. VideoPlayback, GifExporter, and both MP4 exporter branches receive only the existing borderRadius/padding settings. Pass the selected border settings through these paths and apply the corresponding helpers.

The Border section in the settings panel was wired to the
state, but the state was never applied to the actual <video>
element. This commit wraps the preview in a <div> that uses
the user-selected borderStyle + overrides from borderStyleToCss
— the same CSS projection that drives the swatch thumbnails
and (later) the export-side renderBorderLayer.

The wrapper is a sibling of the existing aspect-ratio <div>, so
the video's intrinsic size and the parent's aspect-ratio math
are preserved. The border adds 2 * paddingPx to the overall
preview size, and the inner video fills the padded area.

Tests: 996/996 passing, npx tsc --noEmit clean.
The previous commit wrapped the preview in an extra <div> for
the border, but the inner div had 'height: 100%' which collapsed
to 0 because its parent's height was determined by it. Result:
the video disappeared.

Spread the borderStyleToCss(...) styles onto the same div that
holds the aspectRatio + height: 100% + maxWidth: 100%. With
boxSizing: 'border-box', the padding and border are drawn
inside the box and the aspect ratio still drives the total size.
The video element inside fills the content box (which is
totalSize - 2*padding - 2*borderWidth).

Restore border fields when loading a project.

buildPersistedEditorState now saves borderStyle, borderPaddingPx, borderOpacity, borderCornerShape, and borderCornerRadiusPx, but applyLoadedProject never restores them. Reopening a project resets these values to defaults, and the next save can overwrite the saved border configuration.

Proposed fix
 			setBorderRadius(normalizedEditor.borderRadius);
 			setPadding(normalizedEditor.padding);
+			setBorderStyle(normalizedEditor.borderStyle ?? "default");
+			setBorderPaddingPx(normalizedEditor.borderPaddingPx ?? 0);
+			setBorderOpacity(normalizedEditor.borderOpacity ?? 1);
+			setBorderCornerShape(normalizedEditor.borderCornerShape ?? "rounded");
+			setBorderCornerRadiusPx(normalizedEditor.borderCornerRadiusPx ?? 12);

Restore border fields when loading a project.

These fields are now persisted, but applyLoadedProject never calls setters for them. Loading a project therefore keeps the previous project's border settings or the defaults, and can immediately mark the project as modified. Restore all five border fields during project loading.

Proposed fix
 			setSourceAudioTrimStartOverrideMsByPath(
 				normalizedEditor.sourceAudioTrimStartOverrideMsByPath ?? {},
 			);
+			setBorderStyle(normalizedEditor.borderStyle ?? "default");
+			setBorderPaddingPx(normalizedEditor.borderPaddingPx ?? 0);
+			setBorderOpacity(normalizedEditor.borderOpacity ?? 1);
+			setBorderCornerShape(normalizedEditor.borderCornerShape ?? "rounded");
+			setBorderCornerRadiusPx(normalizedEditor.borderCornerRadiusPx ?? 12);

Do not apply borderOpacity to the video wrapper.

borderStyleToCss returns CSS opacity, and this element contains renderPreviewPlayback. Any borderOpacity below 1 also fades the video and its overlays; 0 makes the preview invisible. Apply opacity to a border-only layer or to border colors instead of the wrapper.
