Flatten nested guards in swipe cleanup, recording updates and popup dismissal. Use an eager optional fallback for workspace layouts and an array in the malformed-opacity test.
Update visible shell clocks at their displayed time boundaries and receive recorder state through events, with elapsed updates only while recording. Arm screenshot expiry at the earliest pending deadline and cancel abandoned requests when their IPC client disconnects.
Cache desktop clock formats across shell updates. Transfer owned screenshot readback pixels to the encoder and borrow the canvas for PNG encoding; both paths previously copied a full image. Close the recorder's stdout reader before waiting for its child when a status line is rejected.
Validation: 910 Rust tests passed in the release workspace suite, with 44 ignored. The six screenshot-script tests passed. A private nested release test passed with a visible desktop clock, notification and modal animations, and three real PNG captures. The recorder shutdown and readback ownership regressions failed before their fixes and pass afterwards.
The isolated clock settings check dropped from 30,000 allocations to zero over 10,000 rebuilds. Borrowing the PNG canvas removed 33,177,600 allocated bytes for a 3840x2160 capture while producing identical PNG bytes.
Direct DRM and laptop power checks remain pending.
Split ScrollingLayout validation so the per-frame geometry solve only
checks scalars and keeps the full tree validation behind debug_assert,
removing a HashSet build from every frame. Replace the per-region Vec
in decode_regions with a stack array via as_chunks, and skip the window
hit test in PointerMotion when Overview is not presenting, where
visual_scale_for_window returns 1.0 regardless.
Guard sync_window_stacking behind a check that the space already matches
the target order with uniform z_index, avoiding an O(n^2) raise_element
loop on every redraw. Narrow window_under_visual to the space iterator
outside Overview, keeping the collected and sorted candidate list for
the Overview branch where front-to-back order is load-bearing.
Raise rust-version to 1.98 and clear the resulting Clippy findings
across the workspace: let-chain collapses, clamp, and while-let loops.
