Description
What it does
macOS Alpha only. FeatureQuickCapture owns the native palette, target/area pickers, chord arbitration, view model, concrete runtime coordinator and recording ownership, live Utilities UIContribution, and QuickCaptureLaunchParticipant. The participant is the sole lifecycle owner; Utilities renders the package contribution factory with the injected controller context instead of duplicating metadata or dispatch. The app supplies injected global NSEvent hotkey, SnapCaptureKit/Workbench capture, lazy AVFoundation camera-preview, and Desktop Curtain adapters. The right ⌘ + right ⌥ chord offers screenshot, video, or GIF-source output for a display, window, or area, with an optional backdrop. GIF export stays parked until the shared Studio engine gains an encoder. PENDING: real-permission chord and capture verification on device.
