/claim #1540 Fixes #1540

I am still trying to record a demo, currently unable to do that due to the error below when i run this command: pnpm tauri:build --debug; is there a specific node version that the repo recommends, only this commands fails, commands like pnpm dev:desktop works fine.

Error:

Greptile Summary

Extends Cap’s deeplink API with 8 new actions for recording control and adds a functional Raycast extension for controlling Cap from Raycast.

Major Changes:

• Added deeplink actions: pause_recording, resume_recording, toggle_pause_recording, restart_recording, take_screenshot, set_microphone, set_camera, list_devices, get_status
• Refactored duplicate capture target resolution logic into resolve_capture_target() helper
• Created complete Raycast extension in extensions/raycast/ with 8 commands
• Added extensions/* to pnpm workspace configuration

Issues Found:

• GetStatus and ListDevices actions print JSON responses to stdout via CAP_DEEPLINK_RESPONSE: prefix, but the Raycast extension has no mechanism to capture this output since deeplinks are fire-and-forget URL scheme calls
• recording-status command triggers the action but cannot display the actual status data
• Form descriptions reference non-existent “List Devices” command in Raycast (not defined in package.json)
• The stdout-based response mechanism needs a different approach (IPC commands, polling, or events) for bidirectional communication

Confidence Score: 3/5

• Mostly functional but has unimplemented features (status/list devices responses not captured)
• Core recording control actions work correctly and integrate with existing functions, but GetStatus and ListDevices actions are incomplete as their responses cannot be received by the Raycast extension through the current deeplink architecture
• Pay close attention to apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/deeplink_actions.rs (stdout response mechanism) and extensions/raycast/src/recording-status.tsx (incomplete implementation)
