Summary

The editor always opened maximized at a default size, forgetting any resize/reposition from the previous session.

  • The editor window now persists its normal bounds and maximized flag (to editor-window.json in the user-data directory) on move, resize, and close, and restores them on the next open.
  • Restored bounds are clamped to the work area of the display they were saved on (via screen.getDisplayMatching), so a window saved on a since-disconnected or rearranged monitor cannot come back off-screen.
  • A corrupt or hand-edited state file falls back to the default maximized 1200x800 window instead of throwing.
  • The export bench window is deliberately excluded — it measures a fixed-size maximized window on purpose and must not load or save this state.

Related issue

Part of #362 — this covers remembering the window size, position, and maximized state. Full-screen mode (which the issue also asks to remember) is intentionally not persisted here: restoring straight into full-screen has platform-specific behavior (notably macOS Spaces) that deserves its own change rather than riding along in this one.

Type of change

  • Feature

Release impact

  • Minor

Desktop impact

  • Not platform-specific

Screenshots / video

Not a visual change beyond the window opening where it was left; no screenshots.

Testing

  • npx vitest run electron/editorWindowState.test.ts at this branch's head: 6 passed — save/load round-trip, missing file, corrupted file, garbage fields, off-screen clamping onto the work area, and the default/bench creation path (bench never loads or saves).
  • npx tsc --noEmit and npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit at this branch's head: clean.

Manual verification on Windows 11: resize and move the editor, close it, finish another recording — the editor reopens with the same bounds; maximize before closing and it reopens maximized. Verified on a build whose electron/windows.ts and electron/editorWindowState.ts are byte-identical to this branch.

Notes:

  • On Linux, window managers that do not deliver move/resize events reliably are still covered by the close-time save.
  • The 800x600 minimum exists both as the BrowserWindow min options and as a clamp floor in the state module; deduplicating those constants is left as-is to keep this change small.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Editor windows now restore their previous size, position, and maximized state when reopened.
    • Restored windows are automatically kept within the available display area.
    • Standard editor window changes are saved for future sessions.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented temporary bench windows from affecting or restoring saved editor window settings.
    • Added safeguards for invalid or corrupted saved window data, including unusable dimensions and invalid maximized states.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The editor now validates persisted window state, restores and clamps saved bounds, conditionally maximizes windows, and persists non-bench window changes during movement, resizing, and close events.

Changes

Editor window state

Layer / File(s) Summary
State validation and persistence
electron/editorWindowState.ts, electron/editorWindowState.test.ts
Persisted records must have positive dimensions and a boolean maximized field. Tests cover missing, corrupted, invalid, and round-trip state files.
Editor creation and lifecycle integration
electron/windows.ts
Editor creation restores clamped state, handles bench windows separately, applies conditional maximization, and saves non-bench state on window lifecycle events.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4eaca

The editor now restores validated window bounds and maximization state while safely falling back for invalid data and excluding the export bench; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Fixed in 4eacada: the parser now rejects zero or negative dimensions and any non-boolean maximized outright, so a hand-edited state file falls back to the documented default maximized window instead of restoring a clamped-up rect. Regression tests cover zero/negative dimensions and string/number/null/missing maximized.
