docs(testing): log the v1.10.0-rc.3 Windows e2e run - #485
Conversation
One defect that should block the promote: pause freezes the HUD timer and turns the indicator amber, but wgc-capture keeps writing. The file is 286.333 s against a 04:25 timer, and 17,180 video packets is exactly 286.333 x 60 - uninterrupted 60 fps straight through the paused interval. Neither sidecar carries a pause marker, so nothing downstream can excise it and the editor opens the project at 4:46.3. Whatever the user does while "paused" ships in the video. Capture and export are otherwise clean on this build. Two takes, both fragmented with mfra on the stop, exact packet-to-duration ratios, no dropped frames over 4m46. Export honours 720p/30 from a 1080p60 source and matches the source duration to the millisecond. A minor one alongside: the HUD language menu ignores Escape and outside clicks, though the blur dismissal shipped in this RC (54e1270) does work. The gap is the part worth reading twice. Transcription fails with "Failed to fetch" and the local STT server never spawns, so captions could not be turned on at all - which means the eight caption anchoring commits that are the whole delta from rc.2 to rc.3 are untested. The row says so rather than implying coverage. Also recorded: Parsec's elevated always-foreground window makes tray refocus untestable, the Store package shadows the NSIS install in request_access, and the HUD drag gate keys on the pointer staying inside the HUD's own window. Those cost hours here and should not cost them again. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The maintainer tested pause by hand and it worked. It does. The wall clock settles it: createdAt 20:25:52.208 against a file finalised at 20:30:56.754 is 304.55 s elapsed for a 286.333 s file - 18.21 s shorter, exactly the pause. The capture was suspended. The first draft compared the file duration against a timer read BEFORE the stop click. Tool round-trips here run ~20 s, so that gap was my own latency, not the pause. The packet count I offered as corroboration was never evidence either: a file is continuous 60 fps whether or not capture was ever suspended. The rule that survives is in the row now - measure against wall-clock elapsed, never against the last timer you happened to screenshot. Verdict goes from Fail to Pass with one minor defect, the language menu ignoring Escape, which was tested directly and stands. The STT paragraph is corrected too. The packaged whisper-stt-server runs fine by hand and asks for --model, so packaging is not the cause and the row no longer implies it. Two candidates remain unseparated: the asset had no audio track, and "Failed to fetch" comes from a call the code reading did not locate, since the local-file caption path uses IPC and OPFS rather than fetch. It worked in rc.2. That one wants captured stderr, not more inference. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The maintainer said STT is packaged and worked in rc.2. It works in rc.3 too. Relaunching with stdout/stderr captured and importing an asset that actually has an audio track produced: [whisper-stt] boot: model=...\whisper-ggml\ggml-small-q8_0.bin port=64720 ggml_vulkan: 0 = NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti [stt] done on whispercpp-vulkan: 15.0s audio in 0.1s (106.8x real-time) So the local server spawns, binds the GPU and transcribes. What actually happened in the first attempt is that the asset had no audio track at all - system audio and mic were off for that take - and the captions pane reports that case as "Failed to fetch". That message is the defect: it reads as a network failure and cost this run an hour hunting a broken STT server that was never involved. Two more finds from the same stderr. listProjects cannot read three saved projects: one ZodError where transcript endSec < startSec across segments, words and transcripts[0], and two SyntaxError on truncated or double-written JSON. They are skipped silently. And the content-protection flag does log its effect, which the row now records. Caption anchoring is present with exactly the model the cherry-picks describe - Bottom/Top, "long captions grow upward, the bottom edge stays put", 1.5% default inset. Where a caption actually lands is still unmeasured: the only transcript obtainable here came from a sine tone. That section still needs someone with a real spoken recording before promote, and the row says so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

observed record-button behavior: it opens the source selector instead of being
disabled and showing a tooltip. Do not describe the check as passing solely
because recording cannot start; explicitly document the contract mismatch or
revise the documented expectation accordingly.
- Line 453: Update the transcription result in the manual E2E checklist to limit
the claim to this run’s evidence: replace “Local transcription works” with
wording that the local STT pipeline completed, and explicitly state that
spoken-audio recognition and caption rendering remain unverified.
- Line 453: Update the project-file finding in the checklist to report only that
the affected saved projects contain malformed or unparseable JSON/schema data,
based on the observed ZodError and SyntaxError messages. Remove the unsupported
attribution to truncated or double-written files while preserving that they are
skipped silently by the UI.

The maintainer confirms Escape closes the HUD language menu by hand. Claude Desktop swallows Escape before it reaches the app under test, so the synthesised press never left the driver - and GetForegroundWindow() returning the HUD does not rescue the inference, because focus says nothing about a key that was intercepted upstream. The companion observation goes with it: the "outside click" I tried landed on the HUD's own drag handle, which is not outside the popover in any useful sense. Third false negative in this row, and the third with the same shape - a measurement artefact of the harness read as app behaviour. The rule is now in the row: Escape is unusable as evidence from computer-use, and any negative keyboard result needs a by-hand confirmation before it is written down.

The maintainer ran the caption sections by hand on a real spoken-audio recording and reports them correct. That was the one thing this automated run could not supply - the only transcript it could produce came from a sine tone - and it was the last gap standing between rc.3 and a promote. Verdict is now Pass with two minor defects, neither of them a release blocker: the "Failed to fetch" message shown for an asset with no audio track, and three saved projects that listProjects cannot read and skips silently.

Summary
Manual end-to-end pass on installed
v1.10.0-rc.3(CI-built NSIS artifact, About reports1.10.0-rc.3), Windows 11, driven with computer-use. One results-log row — no other changes.Verdict: Pass — 3 minor defects; caption rendering not covered.
Pause works — retracted
createdAtCapture was genuinely suspended. The original comparison used a timer read before the stop click; with ~20 s tool round-trips that gap was my own latency. The packet count cited as corroboration was never evidence — a file is continuous 60 fps whether or not capture was suspended.
Local transcription works, on GPU — retracted
Relaunching with stdout/stderr captured and importing an asset that actually carries an audio track:
The server spawns, binds the GPU and transcribes at 106.8× real-time.
The three minor defects
listProjectsfails on oneZodError(transcript.segments[0].endSec must be greater than or equal to startSec, repeated acrosssegments,words,transcripts[0]) and twoSyntaxError: Unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON— truncated or double-written project JSON, skipped silently in the UI.Escape(two presses, foreground confirmed viaGetForegroundWindow) and outside clicks inside the HUD; only re-clicking the button dismisses it. The blur dismissal shipped in this RC (54e12706) does work.Still not covered — the rc.2→rc.3 delta
The Position section is present with exactly the model the cherry-picks describe:
Bottom/Top, "Long captions grow upward — the bottom edge stays put",Distance from bottomdefaulting to 1.5 %, Left/Center/Right. Where a caption actually lands was not measured — the only transcript obtainable here came from a 300 Hz sine and produced one line that never surfaced while scrubbing. Someone with a real spoken-audio recording should run the caption sections before promote.What passed
Capture is sound on two takes — fragmented MP4 with
mfraon the stop, exact packet-to-duration ratios, clean decode, both sidecars, no dropped frames over 4 min 46. Export honours 720p/30 from a 1080p60 source and matches the source duration; composition verified on a frame extracted at full resolution. Launch, HUD visibility, tray-layout toggle, HUD drag, source selection, record→editor, single-instance relaunch, About, and the content-protection flag (confirmed in stderr) all pass.Environment notes for the next runner
Parsec's elevated always-foreground window makes tray refocus untestable and blocks clicks whenever the app loses focus; the Microsoft Store package shadows the NSIS install in
request_access; the HUD drag gate keys on the pointer staying inside the HUD's own window. Screenshots do not interrupt a recording — hypothesis raised and disproved by experiment.Type of change
