Add watchdog for silently starved event taps - #38
Merged
Conversation
The existing tapDisabledBy* callbacks only fire while the tap is being serviced. A tap can starve silently — still registered, tapIsEnabled true, but events queue in WindowServer undelivered. The watchdog polls CGGetEventTapList every 30s; if the keyboard has been silent >90s AND WindowServer reports >5s queue latency, it tears down and recreates the tap.
