`useSequentialTimelineOps` exists because every timeline edit is a read-modify-write of the whole document, and its header says so: anything that reads the doc and saves it back belongs on that chain. The `loadedmetadata` handler did neither -- it read `getState().document` and issued its own save. That is enough to lose an edit, because the store is only written once the bridge answers. A user's save in flight leaves `getState()` returning the PRE-edit document, the probe builds a full snapshot from it, and whichever write lands second wins. The epoch check in `saveDocument` does not cover this: it guards undo, redo and project switches, not a concurrent save. Move the read, the compute and the write inside `enqueueTimelineWrite`, which the shell already holds, and await the saves so the queue actually waits for them -- a fire-and-forget write would let the next queued edit read a document this one has not committed yet.
Its `add*` siblings compute and save in the same tick, so reading the render closure is harmless there. This one is different: the wand captures the callback, awaits a multi-second cursor-telemetry IPC, and only then calls it. Anything the user commits during that wait is in the store but not in the closure, so the snapshot written back is missing their edit -- and it was also anchoring the new regions against clips that may no longer exist. Read from the store inside the callback, and anchor against that same document, matching `applyClipEdit`, `setTrimEntries` and `insertClipAt` -- which is also what lets this compose with `useSequentialTimelineOps` instead of racing it. The test captures the callback before the store moves, the way the wand does, and fails against the closure read: the saved document comes back carrying the old title, with the user's edit gone.
Putting the write on the queue fixed one race and opened a narrower one: there is now real time between the metadata event and the write, and the duration in hand came off the video that fired the event. Two ways it can land somewhere it does not belong. Across projects: switch while the task is queued and the document read inside it is the new project, which gets the old video's length. `saveDocument`'s epoch check cannot see this -- the write is issued after the switch, not across it. So the event is bound to the project that was open when it fired, and dropped if that is no longer the one loaded. Within one project: the seed branch stamps the duration on the primary asset and sizes the clip from it, and `replaceTimeline` hard-codes clips to that same primary asset -- so an event from any OTHER asset seeds one video's length under another's id. Pre-existing, but the queue delay is what makes a primary change between the event and the write reachable at all. Seed only when the asset that fired is the one the seed is about; the primary's own event does its own seeding. The sibling branch needed neither guard: `applyProbedDuration` is handed the asset id and returns the document untouched when it does not hold it.
The two guards in the previous commit shipped untested, on the argument that the `loadedmetadata` path has no component harness. That confused "cannot test the component" with "cannot test the behaviour": the decision is pure -- a document, an asset id, a duration and the project the event came from -- and only the queueing around it needs the component. So the decision moves to an exported `documentAfterProbedDuration` and the handler keeps the wiring. Both guards now fail their tests when removed: without the project binding a switched-to project takes the old video's length, and without the asset check a non-primary asset seeds a clip that `replaceTimeline` pins to the primary. The seed, the fold-in and the already-settled cases are covered too. Two `saveDocument` call sites became one, so the write-audit table loses a row.
With no clips to follow, the preview fell back to the whole asset list and VirtualPreview mounted index 0 — `document.assets[0]`, which is not always the primary. `handleLoadedMetadata` seeds the first clip against `primaryAssetId ?? assets[0]` and, since the guard added here earlier, ignores an event from any other asset. So the two disagreed exactly when they had to agree: the mounted asset fired an event the seed refused, nothing else was ever mounted (the index only moves for clips, and there are none), and the timeline stayed empty for good. A project whose first import is audio is that case. Audio never claims the empty primary slot (document-service.addAsset), so `assets[0]` is the audio track and the primary is the video added after it. The empty-timeline fallback now mounts the resolved primary instead, and keeps the old whole-list behaviour when that id resolves to nothing, so a stale primary cannot leave the stage with no source at all.
The file opts into jsdom but never touches the DOM: it calls `documentAfterProbedDuration` directly and asserts on the document it returns. vitest.config.ts makes `node` the default for exactly this reason and the docblock is the opt-in — 972ms of environment setup here bought nothing.
`saveDocument` awaits the bridge with no deadline of its own and, by contract, never rejects — so a main process that stops answering leaves the promise pending for the life of the renderer, and anything sequenced after it stops with it. Two views of the same deadline: `waitForDocumentSaves` for a caller queued BEHIND a save, `saveWithDeadline` for the one that started it. Both report `"timeout"` rather than a value, because a write that has not answered says nothing about what is on disk — the caller has to keep whatever state lets a later attempt retry, not assume the write failed.
The wand builds suggestions from cursor telemetry and appends them; the fresh-recording import is about to need exactly that. Two copies would drift — the anchoring in particular, which has to run against the same document the write is built from, or the regions land on a timeline that no longer exists. So the collect and the append move into `apply-auto-zooms.ts` and the wand's `addZoomsBulk` calls them. It keeps reading the document from the store rather than from the render closure; only the region-building moves.
1.5 suggested zooms when a fresh recording opened in the editor. Current main still has the wand, but HUD import only seeded a clip, so a new take landed un-zoomed (issue getopenscreen#539). This restores that pass on the current document model. Zooms stay editor regions; they are not baked into the MP4. The pass is marked pending at import and applied once the document is ready, through the same collect/append the wand uses. What makes it safe to run behind a user who is already editing: - Contention means exit, not rebase. If the document moved while the suggestion pass ran, the attempt is working from a snapshot that is already history; recomputing onto the newer one just races the writer that produced it. The attempt is dropped with pending still set, and the delayed retries run against a settled document instead. - A wait or a write that times out has told us nothing about what is on disk, so pending stays set rather than being cleared on an assumption. - A take recorded with the system cursor is never marked pending: there is no overlay telemetry to read dwells from.
One switch, on by default, in `recordingPrefs`, surfaced in both places a take is started from: the HUD and the Rec stage. It is disabled while the cursor is in system mode, because the pass reads the overlay's cursor telemetry and there is none to read — the tooltip says so rather than leaving a dead control. `aria-pressed` on the HUD button, like the mic and camera toggles beside it, so the state is not carried by colour alone.
… queue The suggestion pass has to run once the document is ready, and "ready" is the `loadedmetadata` write that folds the probed duration in. So it goes on the same queued task as that write rather than after it: on `useSequentialTimelineOps`, the suggestions are serialised against the user's own edits, not just against other metadata events. The step moves out of the callback closure into `runLoadedMetadataWrite` so it can be tested at all — the event only reaches the shell through Preview, PreviewCanvas, VirtualPreview and a real `<video>` decoding real media. Three things it does that the closure could not be asked about: - The save is bounded. It is awaited so the queue can serialise it, which means a bridge call that never answers would hold the queue slot and every edit behind it. Removing the deadline does not make that test fail on a value; it makes it never finish. - Project ownership is re-checked AFTER the save, not only before. That await is exactly when a switch lands. It would not write zooms into the other project — the pending-path guard refuses that — but the passes before that guard still clear the pending flag on whatever document they are handed, silently cancelling the auto-zoom for the take that was actually imported. - A duration that is not a real measurement seeds a placeholder clip without being recorded as the asset's duration. MediaRecorder WebMs report NaN until the EBML fix lands; auto-zoom keys off that field and would otherwise act on a length nothing measured.

…-zoom The seed for a take whose container reports no duration wrote a placeholder clip and then removed `durationSec` from the asset, on the theory that 60 is not a measurement and auto-zoom should wait for a real probe. The theory was right; the mechanism was wrong, and it broke something bigger. `primaryAssetDuration` returns 0 for an asset with no duration, and every interval the timeline layer builds is clamped against it — `planTimelineReplacement` included. So the next `replaceTimeline` on that document clamps to zero, drops every clip and persists an empty timeline. For a MediaRecorder WebM, whose later `loadedmetadata` events are non-finite too, nothing ever repairs it. So the placeholder goes back on the asset, which is what the timeline layer needs and what main already does, and auto-zoom stops relying on that field: it asks the clips instead, through the `clipAwaitsProbedDuration` the document layer already uses for exactly this question. The cost is that a take of exactly 60.000 s is never auto-zoomed — the same ambiguity `applyProbedDuration` lives with, and much cheaper than either an emptied timeline or zooms suggested against a length nothing measured. The regression test is the one that matters: seed from a non-finite duration, run a timeline write over the result, and assert the clip survives.
…nderneath A suggestion carries a TIMELINE span, and `appendAutoZoomSuggestions` anchors it against whatever clips the document holds at write time. Collecting takes a multi-second telemetry round trip, so those are not necessarily the same document — and if the user trims, moves, adds, removes or reorders a clip during the wait, the spans land on different media, or on nothing. The import path already handled this by comparing clip geometry before and after and collecting again if it moved. The wand did not: it built suggestions from the document it captured up front and handed them to `addZoomsBulk`, which reads the latest one. That check moves into `apply-auto-zooms` next to the collect it guards, and both callers use it — which is the whole reason that module exists. One retry, not a loop: a user who keeps editing through the wait keeps invalidating it, and the honest answer there is the write-time guards, not spinning here.

1.5 suggested cursor-dwell zooms when a fresh recording opened in the editor. Current main still has the wand, but HUD import only seeded a clip, so a new take landed un-zoomed. This restores that pass on the current document model. Zooms stay editor regions; they are not baked into the MP4.

loadedmetadatawrite it depends on, rather than after it, so a fresh take's suggestions are serialised against the user's own edits and not just against other metadata events.Builds on #620
This branch is based on #620, so its commits appear here until that merges. It carries none of #620's changes of its own: the empty-timeline seed guard and the preview's primary-asset mount live there, and this branch takes them as given.
Reviewing #620 first is the smaller read, and this one is a clean rebase away once it lands.

Release impact
Desktop impact
The editor path is the same on every platform that writes a cursor sidecar. The takes used to check it are Windows / WGC.
Screenshots / video
Two things are visible. The HUD gains one toggle (auto-zoom after recording), separate from the system-cursor control and disabled while the cursor is in system mode. And a fresh take now opens in the editor with zoom regions already on the timeline instead of an empty zoom lane.
Testing
npx tsc --noEmit,npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit,npm run i18n:checkacross the locale set.Live takes on Windows at this head, driven with a real OS mouse — the HUD is click-through and hit-tests the OS cursor, so a synthesised click would not exercise it. Identical choreography in both arms: five move-then-hold points, ~2.2 s of stillness at each, a shape dictated by the detector's own constants (
MIN_DWELL_DURATION_MS450,MAX_DWELL_DURATION_MS2600).0–43.383focusMode: auto, depth 3, 2000 ms eachThe off arm's zero is the toggle, not missing telemetry: replaying its own sidecar through
detectZoomDwellCandidatesyields five candidates, four of them at exactly the focus points the on arm zoomed to —(0.216, 0.288),(0.720, 0.345),(0.288, 0.645),(0.792, 0.645). Both arms carried equally zoomable telemetry; only the on arm produced zooms, and its regions match the driven dwells to within 0.0002 normalized.A third take with the cursor in system mode produced no sidecar, no zooms, and a seeded clip — the
cursorCaptureModeguard doing its job.Not covered: macOS and Linux, the browser fallback for hosts without the native helper, the packaged build, and export (this writes editor regions, it does not bake zooms into the MP4).
