Snip Pilot v0.3.0

Snip Pilot v0.3.0 — first polished, packaged release of the local-first capture/annotate/copy loop.

Highlights

• Visible menu-bar icon (the tray icon was previously empty).
• More reliable floating shelf — reasserts itself over the active window after sleep/unlock, display changes, and app activation, and stays put while you switch apps. Adds a slide-in animation and a "+N more" indicator.
• Health indicator in the main window: shows whether the capture shortcut registered and whether Screen Recording is granted, with a one-click link to System Settings.
• Clipboard auto-clear (off by default): optionally wipe the clipboard a chosen number of minutes after copying a snip.
• Content protection on the floating shelf and editor windows, so snips don't leak into other apps' screen recordings.
• User-initiated update check ("Check for Updates…") — the only time the app touches the network, and only when you ask.
• Scrolling snip now clearly requires the primary display; devtools blocked in packaged builds.
• Added LICENSE (MIT), PRIVACY.md, scroll-stitching unit tests, and a CI workflow.

First launch

This build is signed ad-hoc and not yet notarized, so macOS will warn you the first time. Right-click (or Control-click) Snip Pilot.app → Open → Open. You only need to do this once.

Snip Pilot 0.2.4

Changes

• Restores the stable left-side floating shelf preview behavior so pending snips stay visible and clickable for editing.
• Keeps snips local-only under the app storage folder with Pending/Copied buckets and no JSON/Markdown sidecar files.
• Uses macOS native screencapture for normal captures and clearer Screen Recording guidance.
• Adds reproducible local packaging scripts for an ad-hoc signed Apple Silicon DMG.

Notes

• This build is ad-hoc signed, not Apple Developer ID notarized. macOS may require right-click > Open on first launch.
• Grant Screen & System Audio Recording permission to Snip Pilot after installing this final app build.
• Scrolling capture remains best-effort and may still need refinement for complex/sticky pages.

Verification

• JavaScript syntax checks passed for main, preload, shelf, editor, overlay, renderer, and scroll controls.
• npm audit passed with 0 vulnerabilities.
• DMG checksum verified.
• Strict codesign verification passed for the app bundle used to create the DMG.
