📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughNative macOS recording now uses renderer microphone fallback capture with synchronized timestamps and sidecar metadata. Companion audio diagnostics and caption extraction support paired, delayed, and silent-audio-aware candidates. Whisper model status handling preserves custom model selections. ChangesRecording and caption audio
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The macOS caption fallback can select only the microphone or recording audio when both sources are available, causing captions to omit part of the recorded speech. This is a concrete correctness issue that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Pair embedded recording audio with the microphone sidecar.
If fallback info contains videoPath and a .mic.wav path but no .system. path, this code adds microphone-only and recording-only candidates. extractCaptionAudioSource accepts the first audible candidate. Captions can then omit either embedded system audio or microphone audio.
Add a combined videoPath and microphone candidate before the individual fallbacks when fallback paths includes the recording video. Apply the microphone start delay to the secondary input. Add coverage for this fallback layout.
