Results row for the computer-use e2e pass on macOS, run against the CI artifact of main @ 0bed36852 (build run 38581408372, notarized DMG, About 2.0.0 (dmg)), on macOS 26.5, Mac mini M1, one 4K display at 2x.

Scope: MCP server section on both servers (stdio and in-app HTTP, SDK client), #1194 on macOS, the #1180 editor tools, MP4/GIF export over MCP (#1197), Openscreen captions, and a scoped app slice. Every take used the legacy selector or MCP; Apple's picker slice was skipped at the operator's request.

Defects found:

  1. P1: in-app startRecording returns "capture had not started" after 120 s while the bar records, and on macOS the take is then lost (no file, no editor). Same root cause as on Windows, fixed on main by c541fff after this build; needs a macOS re-run.
  2. P2: while an Openscreen mcp stdio session runs, opening OpenScreen from Finder or open starts no GUI; LaunchServices activates the mcp process, which turns Foreground with its own Dock icon after its first take. open -n works around it.
  3. P3: getFrames cannot read a GIF ("Chromium could not decode the video (media error 4)"), with path or after a GIF export, on both servers.
  4. P3: an MCP window take with system audio is silent when the sound comes from another app (SCContentFilter(desktopIndependentWindow:) keeps only that app's audio); display takes are fine.

Checklist text: step 4 now names universalAccessAuthWarn as the owner of the macOS permission prompts, and the CI-artifact section records that a launch from Terminal files them under Terminal, with the open --env launch that avoids it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Recorded observed macOS 26 behavior for Screen Recording and Accessibility prompts, Automation consent, notification alerts, and save panels.
    • Updated packaged-app launch guidance for macOS 13–15, including when to use open -n while an MCP stdio server is running.
    • Added macOS test results covering MCP and recording checks, observed server behavior, defects, and skipped checks.

Partial pass on macOS 26.5 (M1): MCP section on both servers, #1194, #1180 tools, CLI captions and a scoped app slice under the legacy picker. Also records which process owns the macOS permission prompts and that a launch from Terminal files them under Terminal.

📝 Walkthrough

The manual E2E checklist describes macOS 26 permission prompts and save-panel behavior, updates app-launch instructions for macOS 13–15, and records findings and skipped checks from a macOS 26.5 MCP test run.

Changes: macOS E2E documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
macOS permissions and launch instructions
technical-documentation/testing/manual-e2e-checklist.md
The checklist identifies the process associated with Screen Recording and Accessibility prompts, distinguishes computer-use access to alerts from operator-granted Automation permission, and records save-panel behavior. It documents launching with open and environment variables on macOS 13–15, including when to use open -n.
macOS MCP test results
technical-documentation/testing/manual-e2e-checklist.md
A macOS 26.5 results entry records MCP, recording, project-edit, export, picker, and application checks. It lists observed defects and checks skipped or blocked by environment and scope.

- Line 34: Update the macOS 26 guidance around `UserNotificationCenter` in the
manual E2E checklist: describe it as an installed app to request access for
unmasking its notification windows, and clarify that this does not grant
Automation permission, which the operator must handle separately via the Apple
Events/TCC prompt. Preserve the surrounding Screen Recording, Accessibility, and
save-panel guidance.

Superseded by #1224: same diff as one commit on top of main, because the two merge commits here cannot be rebased.

Partial pass on macOS 26.5 (M1): MCP section on both servers, #1194, #1180 tools, CLI captions and a scoped app slice under the legacy picker. Also records which process owns the macOS permission prompts, what a UserNotificationCenter grant gives, and that a launch from Terminal files the prompts under Terminal. Same content as #1212, in one commit so it can be rebased.
