Version: 0.1.234 (also present in 0.1.233 code), Windows 11. Last working version: 0.1.212.
Symptom: Every recording attempt on Windows fails at the countdown. The popover shows the error and startRecording throws:
show_countdown failed: failed to register countdown shortcut: HotKey already registered: HotKey { mods: Modifiers(0x0), key: NumpadEnter, id: 101 }

Root cause: prepare_countdown_shortcuts in templates/clips/desktop/src-tauri/src/shortcuts.rs registers escape_shortcut(), enter_shortcut(), and numpad_enter_shortcut(). On Windows, the global-hotkey crate maps both Code::Enter and Code::NumpadEnter to VK_RETURN (platform_impl/windows/mod.rs — Code::Enter => VK_RETURN, Code::NumpadEnter => VK_RETURN). The second registration therefore always fails with "already registered", the error propagates as fatal, and the recording aborts. This is deterministic for every Windows user on every recording attempt.
Suggested fix: either skip numpad_enter_shortcut() on Windows (Enter already covers the numpad key since they share a VK), or treat an already-registered failure within the countdown shortcut set as non-fatal.
Workaround meanwhile: downgrade to 0.1.212 and don't apply the pending update.
