Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR improves Windows recording and caption behavior, but an older recording can still overwrite the active session after a newer recording begins, and caption generation may process related sidecar files without a clearly enforced same-recording boundary; failed model deletion can also leave caption state inaccurate. These bounded correctness and authorization risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

retain the fulfilled webcam path, log rejected task errors, and ensure
setCurrentRecordingSession() runs after every task has settled, including when
muxNativeWindowsRecording() fails.

Description
Fixes Windows app lifecycle, asynchronous webcam synchronization, and caption generation from sidecar audio. Also stages the official Windows Whisper runtime with integrity verification and clearer dependency errors.
Motivation
On Windows, closing the editor reopened or minimized the wrong window state, webcam media could appear out of sync while finalizing, and video-only native recordings could not generate captions even though microphone audio had been saved beside them.
Type of Change
Related Issue(s)
None.
Screenshots / Video
Not applicable; these are lifecycle, media synchronization, and caption-pipeline fixes without new UI.
