CalnFlow Updates

SnapStack v0.2.4 RC: Michel feedback — Screen/Region primary capture, cockpit buttons + Paste destination menu, honest previews (contain), Drop = PDF everywhere, optional Command Orb, Snap Context text on clipboard. Feature freeze; fresh install from public link before ship.

Individual features can pass proofs while install → permissions → first paste still surprises a new user. RC discipline exercises the full golden path the way a customer receives it.

Ship cadence: develop → freeze → build RC → download from public URL → unaided golden path → ✅/🤔/❌/💡 observations → ship or RC2.

SnapStack v0.2.3: four-action shortcut dock (Snap · Drop · Paste · Reload) visible at first launch — not hidden until full stack. Reload (⌘⇧Z) joins the dock; spacing rebalanced for four pills. Stable Mac channel still requires notarized public artifacts.

New users used to stack several snaps before discovering Drop, Paste, or Reload. The product loop was real but invisible. Exposing Snap → Stack → Copy Context → Paste → Reload from launch cuts time-to-understanding from repeated use to seconds.

Capture-first UI taught snapping, not context delivery. The dock is the curriculum — show the whole workflow before the bomb is full; COPY CONTEXT still appears at capacity for delivery.

SnapStack v0.2.2: tactical preview shows the latest snap only — no auto-carousel through the full stack. Limit dock and sound fire only at the real 10-snap cap, with STACKED terminology throughout.

Capture rhythm breaks when every snap replays the whole bomb or flashes a false “full stack” state. Builders need one snap in view, then paste.

Preview is review, not replay. Auto-advance through the stack felt like interruption; latest-frame default restores snap → stack → deliver.

Snap artifact mapping now speaks in outcomes: ⌘⇧S Snap · ⌘⇧I Images · ⌘⇧D Doc · ⌘⇧M Mov · ⌘⇧N Narrate. Doc is the primary builder chord; legacy ⌘⇧P still works.

Users want readable context, not PDFs. Doc on ⌘⇧D makes the builder workflow one gesture — paste a whole session without format thinking.

Product language should describe what you get, not how it is encoded. Internal pdf/motion modules stay; surfaces say Doc and Mov.

SnapStack v0.1.10: Doc (⌘⇧D) packages up to 10 stack snaps into readable context on the clipboard — native page sizes, no save dialog, stack intact. Sound on press; clipboard ready moments later.

Context transfer beats document management. ⌘⇧I drops raw images; ⌘⇧D drops a Doc — same mental model, paste anywhere.

Coherent behavior ships before polish. The next twenty real pastes will teach more than another week of export settings.

Mac stable releases (SSP v0.1.9, UC Pro v0.0.3, EyeC Pro v0.0.3): setup, permission, and restart flows anchor top-right while the workflow shell stays visible in the center during preflight.

First success means seeing the outcome you came for while blockers get cleared — not pausing the product to configure it.

Keeping the shell visible (`showPreflightShell`) matters more than where the utility panel sits. One shared top-right anchor across the suite compounds.

All three Mac apps now guide you to drag into Applications before first launch, block running directly from the mounted DMG, and include clearer open-anyway help when macOS Gatekeeper needs a nudge.

A clean install path means fewer “it opened but nothing works” support threads — especially on first download.

Distribution polish is part of the product. Small install guards compound into a suite that feels trustworthy on day one.

Upload scripts now refuse to push a Mac build to download hosts until codesign verification passes on the built app bundle.

Download links should never point at a build that failed basic integrity checks — customers should not be the first line of defense.

Automating the gate at upload time is cheaper than discovering a bad build after the CTA is live.

Introduced `prove:dist-signing` — a machine check that every Mac release must pass before it can ship. Verifies the app seal and records whether the build is adhoc or notarized.

Signing is invisible when it works and painful when it does not. A repeatable check keeps all three apps on the same release standard.

One shared prove command beats three slightly different release rituals.

UC Pro Mac builds now receive a consistent adhoc codesign seal during packaging, so fresh downloads open without the “app is damaged” dialog.

Voice capture should start with a hotkey — not with Gatekeeper troubleshooting.

When no Developer ID cert is configured, electron-builder still needs an explicit signing identity. Skipping that step ships a broken first impression.

Repaired the Mac packaging step that left EyeC Pro with an invalid signature. New builds verify cleanly and install like the rest of the suite.

Screen capture only helps if the app actually launches. A bad signature blocks the entire engage flow before the viewport ever appears.

Treat signature verification as a ship blocker, not a post-release surprise — the same check now guards every suite upload.
