Changes

• Start first-run onboarding before opening the recording controls or editor in packaged builds.
• Play the reveal on macOS and Windows. Start its clock when the reveal window is visible, then wait for playback to finish before showing Welcome.
• Save that the reveal started so quitting and reopening during setup resumes onboarding without replaying it. Existing permission setup in progress also skips the reveal.

Validation

• TypeScript and translation checks passed on the PR snapshot.
• 41 focused tests passed, including packaged window routing and a slow reveal that runs beyond the original startup timeout.
• A local Apple Silicon package with these onboarding changes played the reveal on first launch and skipped it on restart and during permission setup.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • First-run onboarding now includes a visual introduction on macOS and Windows. The introduction is shown only once and is skipped if permissions were previously requested.
• Bug Fixes
  • Improved intro timing so onboarding appears after the visual introduction is ready, with a fallback if preparation takes too long or fails.
  • Adjusted the introduction’s fallback icon for each platform and kept reduced-motion preferences in effect.

Walkthrough

Packaged first-run startup now opens onboarding and can launch an intro. The intro handoff coordinates playback between Electron and the renderer, with updated timing, fallback icon selection, and animation behavior.

Changes: First-Run Onboarding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
First-run startup and onboarding window electron/main.ts, electron/windows.ts, electron/onboardingWindow.test.ts	Startup window creation waits until IPC registration. Packaged first-run startup opens onboarding and passes the intro option. On macOS and Windows, the onboarding window can launch the intro when that option is set. Tests cover packaged onboarding URLs and hidden-window behavior before load events.
Intro timing and renderer handoff electron/electron-env.d.ts, electron/preload.ts, electron/onboardingIntro.ts, electron/onboardingIntro.test.ts	The preload API exposes a subscription to the intro-shown event. The intro timeout changes when the backdrop reports readiness, and a test covers late renderer readiness.
Renderer playback and animation src/components/auth/OnboardingIntroWindow.tsx, src/components/auth/onboardingGlass.ts	The renderer selects a platform-specific fallback icon and waits for the intro-shown event when available. It also changes the preparation timeout, removes the wordmark blur animation, and starts animation timing from the first frame.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main behavior change: the onboarding reveal now plays once in packaged builds. The changeset covers that, including the one-time intro flag in electron/main.ts, the intro gating in windows.ts, and the playback timing in onboardingIntro.ts. The title is short and specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's intent. It has a Changes section that explains the packaged-build onboarding flow, the reveal timing, and the one-time persistence behavior. It has a Validation section covering tests and a manual Apple Silicon run. It omits the template's Motivation, Type of Change, Related Issue(s), Screenshots/Video, and Testing Guide headings, and the checklist. Those gaps are non-critical, so the description is mostly complete.

- Line 168: Update the test containing the process.platform guard to run
packaged routing coverage for both darwin and win32 on every host. Parameterize
the cases, set the platform stub before importing ./windows, and restore the
original platform value after each case so the assertions do not depend on the
host or leak state.

a Type of Change selection (likely Bug Fix or New Feature); a Related Issue(s)
entry linking the issue; a Screenshots / Video section, or a short video of the
reveal on first launch; a Testing Guide with steps to reproduce first launch,
restart, and permission setup behavior; and the Checklist items marked as
