Description

What it does

macOS / Alpha only. docs/planning/GOAL-device-snap-capture.md. SnapCaptureKit's pure target owns the multi-source SnapSessionWriter/README/clipboard-path, SnapSessionController, SnapCaptureSource seam, and additive transcription event contract. Its macOS SnapCapturePlatform target owns SnapCaptureCoordinator, SnapWindowCaptureSource (SCScreenshotManager), SnapDeviceCaptureSource, the device preview manager/windows, and the DEBUG -snap_device_spike runner over SnapDeviceCaptureKit's CoreMediaIO/AVFoundation DAL implementation. SnapCaptureLaunchParticipant is the sole owner of device enumeration and transcription-observer startup/teardown; the old QuickCaptureFeatureController direct lifecycle call is gone and singleton resolution stays lazy. The existing `.quickCapture` Utilities UIContribution retains the same order/action but is now catalogued to snap-capture while requiring the shared Quick Capture host. Snapshot behavior and paths are unchanged. PENDING: live DAL verification that a trusted/unlocked cabled iPhone supplies its screen rather than camera, plus S3 overlay ergonomics. Camera prompt occurs on device-window open; Screen Recording permission occurs on window/display capture.
