1.5.7 (2026-01-08) - Fresh Sidebar Toggle Implementation

New Features

  • Fresh Sidebar Toggle Implementation: Complete reimplementation using Electron's before-input-event API

    • Intercepts Ctrl+I/Cmd+I at main process level before reaching renderer/iframes
    • Uses webContents.send() for IPC communication to overlay
    • Maintains DOM event handler as fallback
    • Works correctly with contextIsolation:true and sandbox:true
    • Resolves previous v1.5.1-v1.5.6 failed approaches (globalShortcut, executeJavaScript, contextBridge)

  • Startup Codec Verification Logging: Added comprehensive codec/GPU status logging on application startup

    • logCodecSupport() function in main.ts
    • Logs platform info (Electron, Chrome, Node versions)
    • Reports GPU feature status (video_decode, gpu_compositing)
    • Shows expected codec support (AV1, HEVC, VP9, H.264)
    • Displays GPU device information asynchronously

Documentation

  • SIDEBAR-TOGGLE-DESIGN.md: Architecture and rationale for sidebar toggle implementation
  • PLATFORM-REQUIREMENTS.md: User-facing guide for system requirements per platform
  • CUSTOM-ELECTRON-BUILD.md: Comprehensive research on custom Electron builds with codec support
  • docs/research/: Detailed research notes including codec support analysis and diagnostic panel investigation

Code Quality

  • Fixed unused parameter declarations (underscore prefix convention)
  • Removed unused imports (createContext, User)
  • Build: 0 errors
  • Lint: 0 errors (11 pre-existing warnings)

Technical Details

Previous Failed Approaches (v1.5.1-v1.5.6)

  • globalShortcut: Stole shortcuts from other applications
  • executeJavaScript + CustomEvent: Security restrictions with contextIsolation
  • contextBridge callbacks: Unreliable with React state management

v1.5.7 Solution

The before-input-event API approach:

  1. Intercepts keyboard events at main process level BEFORE reaching any renderer
  2. Works correctly even when focus is on iframe content (GeForce NOW game sessions)
  3. Does not steal shortcuts from other applications
  4. Compatible with contextIsolation:true and sandbox:true security settings
