Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to On Hyprland, cursor samples can be dropped or scaled wrongly on scaled or multi-monitor setups. Other platforms and the existing capture behavior are unaffected. This is mergeable, with follow-up recommended. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Separate cursor recording can now collect pointer activity outside the selected window or monitor and save it with the recording. Video capture still requires permission, but the scope of cursor collection needs attention. Retained concerns

Review comments at @packages/capture/src/screen/linux/hyprland.rs:
- Line 33: Update the response-reading logic around stream.read so it
accumulates fragmented input through the protocol’s completion boundary before
parsing coordinates; retain a response-size limit and timeout, and add a parser
test that verifies fragmented reads produce the complete coordinate sample.
Review comments at @packages/capture/src/screen/linux/portal.rs:
- Around line 307-310: Update the fallback selection in `prepare_portal` so
`CursorMode::Hidden` is chosen only when Hidden is supported and
`super::hyprland::is_hyprland()` is true; otherwise select
`CursorMode::Metadata` instead of `CursorMode::Embedded`, allowing
`verify_capabilities` to reject unsupported separate-cursor requests.

I've pushed an update addressing the review findings:
All unit tests and clippy checks pass cleanly ( |
… space Hyprland's /cursorpos IPC returns coordinates in compositor logical units, not physical pixels. On displays with fractional scaling (e.g. 1.25×), this caused the recorded cursor position to drift towards the top-left by the inverse of the scale factor. Changes: - query_cursor_pos() now queries the focused monitor's scale factor and layout offset via j/monitors IPC - Coordinates are converted: physical = (logical - monitor_offset) × scale - Added parse_focused_monitor(), split_monitor_objects(), extract_f64(), extract_i32() helpers with minimal JSON parsing (no serde dependency) - Added separate_cursor_enabled field to ProcessState/PipewireCaptureRequest to gate the Hyprland fallback on CursorSelection::Separate (security hardening) - Added 5 new unit tests covering monitor JSON parsing and coordinate math

The fragmented-read fix does not match the code. The read can still return partial data.
A past review flagged partial reads, and the PR says this was fixed. The code does not match. read_to_end reads until EOF. Hyprland closes the connection after each reply, so EOF does come. But set_read_timeout(10ms) makes read_to_end return Err on WouldBlock or TimedOut. The .ok()? then discards all bytes already read. A slow compositor therefore gives None, not a partial parse. This may be acceptable, but the behavior is a silent drop of the cursor sample.
The take(64) limit also truncates silently. Truncation cannot happen for a valid /cursorpos reply. The same pattern in query_focused_monitor falls back to scale 1.0 with offset 0 after a timeout. That produces wrong physical coordinates on scaled or multi-monitor setups.
The parses_fragmented_stream_accumulation test (Line 157) only concatenates chunks in memory. It does not test the stream-reading code.
Extract a helper that takes impl Read. Test it with a reader that returns fragments. Decide the timeout behavior explicitly, for example by keeping the bytes already read on a timeout.

The "focused" check can match the wrong monitor.
The substring check looks for "focused":true anywhere in the entry text. Hyprland's j/monitors output is pretty-printed. If it prints "focused": true with other whitespace, or if another field such as a nested object contains the same text, the match fails or is wrong. split_monitor_objects also splits on any braces, including braces inside strings. Parse the output with serde_json instead. It is already a dependency of the crate.
