From 06e50281cb816d238054700452bf28e159479f4d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cursor Agent Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:26:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(A.1 #9): PowerAssertion guard around live session + LLM generation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds src-tauri/src/commands/power.rs exposing a PowerAssertion RAII guard that macOS uses to pin NSProcessInfo.beginActivityWithOptions around long-running work. Wired into: - run_live_session (entire live-dictation lifetime) - cleanup_transcript_text_cmd's spawn_blocking body (LLM run) Non-macOS targets get a no-op guard so callers don't have to #cfg the call sites. The actual Objective-C bridge to NSProcessInfo is stubbed (begin_activity returns Err so the guard logs a warning instead of silently pretending); the stub doesn't regress recording or LLM behaviour on macOS — it just means App Nap is not yet suppressed, which matches today's behaviour. Full objc2 integration is a follow-up that can introduce objc2 cleanly in its own commit. Matches Whispering #549/#559 pain-pattern; acceptance text ("10 minute background recording completes unattended") is satisfied once the bridge is finished, and nothing regresses today.
