Start with Windows. PR 162 fixed a real problem: the hardware video encoder probe was passing checks that didn't match production output, so every Windows session was silently falling back to slower software encoding. The new probe tests the exact real-world pipeline, and caches its verdict against the actual…
Second theme: PR 150 adds Stream Deck support and global shortcuts, but the more important part is the security contract underneath it — a token-gated local API with a hard allow-list, a same-machine discovery file, and sockets that get closed the instant a token rotates. The follow-up commit fixed a real bug: a…
