Summary

  • recheck macOS Accessibility only while the setup pill is visible
  • close the unfocusable widget as soon as the native grant becomes available
  • document the live refresh and add denied-to-granted regression coverage

Validation

  • 36 focused frontend tests passed
  • frontend typecheck passed
  • targeted formatting passed
  • targeted lint has only pre-existing CaptureWidget warnings

The dictation setup pill now rechecks macOS Accessibility permission every second while visible and closes when access is granted. Documentation and regression coverage now describe and verify the denied-to-granted flow. The polling loop adds timer and cleanup logic that warrants review; targeted lint also reports pre-existing CaptureWidget warnings.

The CaptureWidget now polls macOS Accessibility permission while the setup state is visible in Tauri. After access is granted, it returns to idle and hides the widget. Tests and documentation cover the behavior.

Assert the native widget hide.

The test only checks that Allow Accessibility disappears; it still passes if hideWidgetWindow() is removed and the native widget remains visible. Expose the mocked getCurrentWindow().hide spy and assert it after the one-second poll.
As per coding guidelines, the regression test must fail before the fix and pass after it and must cover the PR's native-widget close behavior.
