- collect mouse button events from /dev/input/event* with O_NONBLOCK reads (20ms polling) instead of blocking fs.createReadStream - blocking reads on evdev char devices park libuv threadpool threads (4 by default); with several devices open and the mouse idle, the whole pool starves and the recording save hangs indefinitely - evdev collection only on Linux + Hyprland sessions, avoiding double-counted clicks where the uiohook X11 path works - requires the user in the "input" group for /dev/input access Tested on: AMD Lucienne, Hyprland 0.56.2, XDPH 1.4.1, PipeWire 1.6.8 Relates to: webadderallorg#808, webadderallorg#863, webadderallorg#891

- evdev button capture reads with O_NONBLOCK + 20ms polling instead of blocking fs.createReadStream streams: blocking reads park libuv threadpool threads (4 by default) and starve the pool when the mouse is idle, hanging the recording save indefinitely - capture only on Linux + Hyprland sessions (guard), avoiding double-counted clicks where the uiohook X11 path works - [REC-DEBUG] lifecycle logging for diagnostics Tested on: AMD Lucienne, Hyprland 0.56.2 — save completes immediately, clicks captured, cursor telemetry flowing end-to-end.
- evdev button capture reads with O_NONBLOCK + 20ms polling instead of blocking fs.createReadStream streams: blocking reads park libuv threadpool threads (4 by default) and starve the pool when the mouse is idle, hanging the recording save indefinitely - evdev collection only on Linux + Hyprland sessions (guard), avoiding double-counted clicks where the uiohook X11 path works - [REC-DEBUG] lifecycle logging for diagnostics Tested on: AMD Lucienne, Hyprland 0.56.2 — save completes immediately, clicks captured and rendered, telemetry flowing end-to-end.
On Hyprland/Wayland the recording flow ran the countdown BEFORE the getDisplayMedia request — the portal picker blocked getUserMedia, so the video started late while cursor telemetry had already started, producing desynchronized cursor playback (and a frozen lead-in for the duration of the picker dialog). - Linux flow: request screen capture (portal picker) BEFORE the countdown - Cursor telemetry now starts together with the video capture - HYPRLAND_CURSOR_MEDIA_OFFSET_MS: 300 -> 0 (the calibration compensated for the wrong order; with capture-first it is no longer needed) Tested on: AMD Lucienne, Hyprland 0.56.2 — recording, save, editor and cursor/click sync all working in a single natural launch.

Inline comments:
In `@electron/ipc/cursor/interaction.ts`:
- Around line 243-248: Move the startLinuxCursorTracker call into the Linux
Wayland branch so X11 uses only the uiohook callbacks. Register its cleanup with
the interaction capture cleanup on that branch, and remove the linuxCleanup
invocation from the uiohook cleanup so the tracker is started and stopped only
for Wayland.
In `@electron/ipc/cursor/linuxTracker.test.ts`:
- Around line 59-64: Update the Linux tracker test for startLinuxCursorTracker
to mock node:fs, node:net, and node:child_process so it never accesses host
devices, sockets, or processes. Drive the mocked streams with 24-byte
input_event data and mocked hyprctl output, then assert the expected onMouseDown
and onMouseUp calls and that cleanup destroys the streams.
In `@electron/ipc/cursor/linuxTracker.ts`:
- Around line 72-110: Update pollHyprlandCursor to accumulate response chunks
before parsing, add a socket timeout, and schedule retries only from the close
handler to prevent duplicate polling loops. Store the pending timer and current
socket, then clear the timer and destroy the socket in the cleanup callback.
- Line 134: Replace the fs.createReadStream call in the Linux device-tracking
flow with blocking reads performed by a worker_threads worker using fs.readSync,
or a helper process that emits click events. Keep evdev reads off libuv’s
threadpool so idle device reads cannot occupy its workers; do not use
UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE as a workaround.
- Around line 125-130: Update the `/dev/input/event*` fallback enumeration to
filter out non-pointer devices, using a correctly ordered capability-bitmap
check for pointer buttons or a simpler device-type filter. Do not infer BTN_LEFT
support from bit 0 of the first sysfs bitmap word.
In `@electron/ipc/cursor/telemetry.ts`:
- Around line 177-182: Remove the per-sample synchronous getLinuxCursorSync
fallback from the cursor sampling path. Use the fresh linuxCursorCache when
available and otherwise preserve the existing fallbackCursor behavior; keep
synchronous lookup limited to capture startup.
- Around line 184-185: Update getNormalizedCursorPoint to preserve Hyprland
positions from getLinuxCursorSync and the Hyprland socket handler in global
layout coordinates, without dividing them by primarySf again. Keep the existing
scale conversion for uiohook points by recording each cached point’s coordinate
space or otherwise distinguishing the point source.

Mock node:fs, node:net, and node:child_process in the Linux tracker test.
This test runs the real startLinuxCursorTracker with the host environment. If HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE is inherited, the test spawns hyprctl and connects to the real compositor socket. If /dev/input is readable, it opens real input devices. The result then depends on the host. The test also only checks typeof cleanup. It does not cover the 24-byte input_event parsing, button mapping, the hyprctl output parsing, or stream destruction on cleanup. Use vi.mock to add mocked sockets and streams, and assert on the onMouseDown and onMouseUp calls and on destroy().

<excerpt>Linux-Kernel Archive: [59/68] Input: add compat support for sysfs and /proc capabilities output # [59/68] Input: add compat support for sysfs and /proc capabilities output From: Greg KH Date: Fri Sep 24 2010 - 12:38:00 EST 2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx> commit 15e184afa83a45cf8bafdb9dc906b97a8fbc974f upstream. Input core displays capabilities bitmasks in form of one or more longs printed in hex form and separated by spaces. Unfortunately it does not work well for 32-bit applications running on 64-bit kernels since applications expect that number is "worth" only 32 bits when kernel advances by 64 bits. Fix that by ensuring that output produced for compat tasks uses 32-bit units.

<excerpt>The input protocol is a stateful protocol. Events are emitted only when values of event codes have changed. However, the state is maintained within the Linux input subsystem; drivers do not need to maintain the state and may attempt to emit unchanged values without harm. Userspace may obtain the current state of event code values using the EVIOCG* ioctls defined in linux/input.h.

EV_KEY events take the form KEY_ or BTN_. For example, KEY_A is used to represent the ‘A’ key on a keyboard. When a key is depressed, an event with the key’s code is emitted with value 1. When the key is released, an event is emitted with value 0. Some hardware send events when a key is repeated. These events have a value of 2. In general, KEY_ is used for keyboard keys, and BTN_ is used for other types of momentary switch events. ... REL_{X,Y} must be reported when the mouse moves. BTN_LEFT must be used to report the primary button press. BTN_{MIDDLE,RIGHT,4,5,etc.} should be used to report further buttons of the device. REL_WHEEL and REL_HWHEEL should be used to report scroll wheel events where available. ... ABS_{X,Y} must be reported with the location of the touch. BTN_TOUCH must be used to report when a touch is active on the screen. BTN_{MOUSE,LEFT,MIDDLE,RIGHT} must not be reported as the result of touch contact. BTN_TOOL_ events should be reported where possible. ... BTN_TOOL_ events must be reported when a stylus or other tool is active on the tablet. ABS_{X,Y} must be reported with the location of the tool. BTN_TOUCH should be used to report when the tool is in contact with the tablet. BTN_{STYLUS,STYLUS2} should be used to report buttons on the tool itself. Any button may be used for buttons on the tablet except BTN_{MOUSE,LEFT}.

The fallback enumeration opens all /dev/input/event* nodes without filtering by device type, which unnecessarily opens keyboard and other non-pointer devices. However, the proposed capability-filtering fix is incorrect.
The fallback at lines 125–130 is reachable when /dev/input/by-id is absent or contains no matching entries. All event nodes are then opened and streamed without device qualification. Keystroke data is read from keyboard devices into the stream buffer but is not extracted or leaked—the handler at lines 139–170 ignores non-button events (only codes 272–274 are recognized). This reduces unnecessary resource usage and I/O overhead, but the security risk is overstated.
The suggested fix tests parseInt(caps.split(" ")[0], 16) & 0x0001 to detect button capability. This is incorrect. The Linux kernel's capabilities bitmap for /sys/class/input/event*/device/capabilities/key outputs words from most-significant to least-significant (word_n, word_n-1, ..., word_0). BTN_LEFT is at code 272, which occupies bit 272 overall (word 4, bit 16 within that word on 64-bit systems). The first hex word in the sysfs output is the most-significant word, not word 0. The test & 0x0001 checks bit 0 of the wrong word and would incorrectly select or reject devices.
Filtering /dev/input/event* is defensible for resource efficiency and reduced exposure, but requires either:
- A correct capability bitmap test (accounting for word offset and bit position), or
- A simpler alternative such as filtering
/proc/bus/input/devicesfor entries tagged "mouse" or "touchpad", or - Acceptance of the minor overhead in the current fallback.
Do not apply the proposed fix as written. Either correct the capability test implementation or select a simpler filtering approach.

<excerpt>js uses a ... number of threads to ... clients. In Node.js there are two ... one Event Loop ( ... the main loop, main thread, ... and a pool of `k ... a Worker Pool ... The Worker Pool of Node.js is implemented in libuv (docs), which exposes a general task submission API. ... uses the Worker Pool to handle "expensive" tasks. This includes I/O for which an operating system does not provide a non-blocking version, as well as particularly CPU-intensive tasks. ... 1. I/O-intensive 1. DNS: `dns.lookup()`, `dns.lookupService()`. 2. File System: All file system APIs except `fs.FSWatcher()` and those that are explicitly synchronous use libuv&`#39`;s threadpool. 2. CPU-intensive 1. Crypto: `crypto.pbkdf2()`, `crypto.scrypt()`, `crypto.randomBytes()`, `crypto.randomFill()`, `crypto.generateKeyPair()`. 2. Zlib: All zlib APIs except those that are explicitly synchronous use libuv&`#39`;s threadpool. ... In truth, the Event Loop does not actually maintain a queue. Instead, it has a collection of file descriptors that it asks the operating system to monitor, using a mechanism like epoll (Linux), kqueue (OSX), event ports (Solaris), or IOCP (Windows). These file descriptors correspond to network sockets, any files it is watching, and so on. When the operating system says that one of these file descriptors is ready, the Event Loop translates it to the appropriate event and invokes the callback(s) associated with that event. You can learn more about this process here. ... running file system reads ... Suppose your server must read files in order to handle some client requests. After consulting the Node.js File system APIs, you opted to use `fs.readFile()` for simplicity. However, `fs.readFile()` before v10 was not partitioned: it submitted a single `fs.read()` Task spanning the entire file. If you read shorter files for some users and longer files for others, `fs.readFile()` may introduce significant variation in Task lengths, to the detriment of Worker Pool throughput. ... For a worst-case scenario, suppose an attacker can convince your server to read an arbitrary file (this is a directory traversal vulnerability). If your server is running Linux, the attacker can name an extremely slow file: `/dev/random`. For all practical purposes, `/dev/random` is infinitely slow, and every Worker asked to read from `/dev/random` will never finish that Task. An attacker then submits `k` requests, one for each Worker, and no other client requests that use the Worker Pool will make progress. ... Tasks with variable time costs can harm the throughput of the Worker Pool. To minimize variation in Task times, as far as possible you should partition each Task into comparable-cost sub-Tasks. When each sub-Task completes it should submit the next sub-Task, and when the final sub-Task completes it should notify the submitter. ... To continue the `fs.readFile()` example, you should instead use `fs.read()` (manual partitioning) or `ReadStream` (automatically partitioned).</excerpt>

<title>Overview of Blocking vs Non-Blocking | Node.js Learn</title>
<location>https://nodejs.org/learn/asynchronous-work/overview-of-blocking-vs-non-blocking</location>
<excerpt>Overview of Blocking vs Non-Blocking | Node.js Learn # Overview of Blocking vs Non-Blocking This overview covers the difference between blocking and non-blocking calls in Node.js. This overview will refer to the event loop and libuv but no prior knowledge of those topics is required. Readers are assumed to have a basic understanding of the JavaScript language and Node.js callback pattern. > "I/O" refers primarily to interaction with the system&`#39`;s disk and network supported by libuv. ## Blocking Blocking is when the execution of additional JavaScript in the Node.js process must wait until a non-JavaScript operation completes. This happens because the event loop is unable to continue running JavaScript while a blocking operation is occurring. In Node.js, JavaScript that exhibits poor performance due to being CPU intensive rather than waiting on a non-JavaScript operation, such as I/O, isn&`#39`;t typically referred to as blocking. Synchronous methods in the Node.js standard library that use libuv are the most commonly used blocking operations. Native modules may also have blocking methods. All of the I/O methods in the Node.js standard library provide asynchronous versions, which are non-blocking, and accept callback functions. Some methods also have blocking counterparts, which have names that end with `Sync`. ## Comparing Code Blocking methods execute synchronously and non-blocking methods execute asynchronously. Using the File System module as an example, this is a synchronous file read: ```cjs const fs = require(&`#39`;node:fs&`#39`;); const data = fs.readFileSync(&`#39`;/file.md&`#39`;); // blocks here until file is read ``` And here is an equivalent asynchronous example: ```cjs const fs = require(&`#39`;node:fs&`#39`;); fs.readFile(&`#39`;/file.md&`#39`;, (err, data) => { if (err) { throw err; } }); ``` The first example appears simpler than the second but has the disadvantage of the second line blocking the execution of any additional JavaScript until the entire file is read. Note that in the synchronous version if an error is thrown it will need to be caught or the process will crash. In the asynchronous version, it is up to the author to decide whether an error should throw as shown. Let&`#39`;s expand our example a little bit: ```cjs const fs = require(&`#39`;node:fs&`#39`;); const data = fs.readFileSync(&`#39`;/file.md&`#39`;); // blocks here until file is read console.log(data); moreWork(); // will run after console.log ``` And here is a similar, but not equivalent asynchronous example: ```cjs const fs = require(&`#39`;node:fs&`#39`;); fs.readFile(&`#39`;/file.md&`#39`;, (err, data) => { if (err) { throw err; } console.log(data); }); moreWork(); // will run before console.log ``` In the first example above, `console.log` will be called before `moreWork()`. In the second example `fs.readFile()` is non-blocking so JavaScript execution can continue and `moreWork()` will be called first. The ability to run `moreWork()` without waiting for the file read to complete is a key design choice that allows for higher throughput. ## Concurrency and Throughput JavaScript execution in Node.js is single threaded, so concurrency refers to the event loop&`#39`;s capacity to execute JavaScript callback functions after completing other work. Any code that is expected to run in a concurrent manner must allow the event loop to continue running as non-JavaScript operations, like I/O, are occurring. As an example, let&`#39`;s consider a case where each request to a web server takes 50ms to complete and 45ms of that 50ms is database I/O that can be done asynchronously. Choosing non-blocking asynchronous operations frees up that 45ms per request to handle other requests. This is a significant difference in capacity just by choosing to use non-blocking methods instead of blocking methods. The event loop is different than models in many other languages where additional threads may be created to handle concurrent work. ## Dangers of Mixing Blocking an…[truncated]</excerpt>

Move evdev reads out of libuv’s threadpool.
fs.createReadStream(devPath) opens one asynchronous read for each selected device. Blocking evdev reads can remain pending until input, so idle streams can occupy libuv workers. The fallback opens every /dev/input/event* node. Four pending streams can consume the default pool and delay unrelated filesystem, crypto, zlib, and DNS work, including recording I/O. stream.destroy() does not cancel an already pending read.
Use a worker_threads worker with fs.readSync for each device, or use a helper process that emits click events. Do not rely on UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE as the fix.

Do not use the first fuzzy match as the selected window.
If two windows share a title or class, .find() returns whichever client appears first. For example, two terminal windows can resolve to the same bounds even when the user selected the second window. Match a stable window identity where available. Otherwise, require an unambiguous match before returning bounds.

Convert X11 cursor points and window bounds as one coordinate-space pair.
getHookCursorScreenPoint(event) returns physical X11 coordinates. Converting these points to DIP at the cache producer fixes the display-relative branch, but it breaks the fresh window-relative branch because xwininfo bounds are also physical pixels. Convert the X11 xwininfo bounds to DIP as well, or keep both X11 values physical until normalization. Keep Hyprland/Wayland tracker points and logical bounds unchanged.

Convert X11 window bounds to DIP before normalization.
resolveLinuxWindowBounds() returns raw xwininfo pixel geometry. Convert those bounds to Electron DIP coordinates before getNormalizedCursorPoint() uses them. Apply this conversion for both fresh and stale cursor-cache paths. Keep Hyprland bounds unchanged because they already use logical coordinates.

Restore focus and clean up the DOM fallback.
When the DOM fallback runs, textArea.focus() takes focus from the copy button. Removing the focused textarea does not restore that focus, so keyboard users lose their place even when copying succeeds. If execCommand("copy") throws, the catch also leaves the textarea attached. Save the prior active element, then use finally to remove the textarea and restore focus when appropriate. (html.spec.whatwg.org)

Allocate a fresh canvas for each backend retry.
initialize() creates the canvas internally and passes it to every backend attempt. If WebGL acquires a context and then fails, the WebGPU attempt reuses a canvas already bound to WebGL. The retry can fail even when WebGPU is available.
Use a fresh canvas after each failed attempt. The successful app's this.app.canvas is the source used by composeBlurAnnotationFrame(), and getCanvas() preserves the existing output behavior.

<excerpt>Overview | pixi.js # Rendering PixiJS renderers are responsible for drawing your scene to a canvas using either WebGL/WebGL2 or WebGPU. These renderers are high-performance GPU-accelerated engines and are composed of modular systems that manage everything from texture uploads to rendering pipelines. All PixiJS renderers inherit from a common base, which provides consistent methods such as`.render()`,`.resize()`, and`.clear()` as well as shared systems for managing the canvas, texture GC, events, and more. ## Renderer Types | Renderer | Description | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | `WebGLRenderer` | Default renderer using WebGL/WebGL2. Well supported and stable. | ✅ Recommended | | `WebGPURenderer` | Modern GPU renderer using WebGPU. More performant, still maturing. | 🚧 Experimental | | `CanvasRenderer` | Fallback renderer using 2D canvas. | ❌ Coming-soon | Note The WebGPU renderer is feature complete, however, inconsistencies in browser implementations may lead to unexpected behavior. It is recommended to use the WebGL renderer for production applications. ## Creating a Renderer You can use`autoDetectRenderer()` to create the best renderer for the environment: ``` import { autoDetectRenderer } from &`#39`;pixi.js&`#39`;;const renderer = await autoDetectRenderer({ preference: &`#39`;webgpu&`#39`;, // or &`#39`;webgl&`#39`;}); Copy ``` Or construct one explicitly: ``` import { WebGLRenderer, WebGPURenderer } from &`#39`;pixi.js&`#39`;;const renderer = new WebGLRenderer();await renderer.init(options); Copy ``` ## Rendering a Scene To render a scene, you can use the`render()` method. This will draw the specified container to the screen or a texture: ``` import { Container } from &`#39`;pixi.js&`#39`;;const container = new Container();renderer.render(container);// or provide a complete set of optionsrenderer.render({ target: container, clear: true, // clear the screen before rendering transform: new Matrix(), // optional transform to apply to the container}); Copy ``` ## Resizing the Renderer To resize the renderer, use the`resize()` method. This will adjust the canvas size and update the resolution: ``` renderer.resize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight); Copy ``` ## Generating Textures You can generate textures from containers using the`generateTexture()` method. This is useful for creating textures from dynamic content: ``` import { Sprite } from &`#39`;pixi.js&`#39`;;const sprite = new Sprite();const texture = renderer.generateTexture(sprite); Copy ``` ## Resetting State To reset the renderer&`#39`;s state, use the`resetState()` method. This is useful when mixing PixiJS with other libraries like Three.js: ``` function render() { // Render the Three.js scene threeRenderer.resetState(); threeRenderer.render(scene, camera); // Render the PixiJS stage pixiRenderer.resetState(); pixiRenderer.render({ container: stage }); requestAnimationFrame(render);}requestAnimationFrame(render); Copy ``` ## Related Documentation - See WebGLRenderer for WebGL-specific features - See WebGPURenderer for WebGPU-specific features - See autoDetectRenderer for automatic renderer detection - See ExtractSystem for extracting textures from the renderer - See GenerateTextureSystem for creating textures from display objects - See RenderTexture for rendering to textures - See Texture for managing textures - See Container for managing display objects ### Settings Member Visibility - Inherited - Advanced ThemeOSLightDark ### On This Page Rendering - Renderer Types - Creating a Renderer - Rendering a Scene - Resizing the Renderer - Generating Textures - Resetting State - Related Documentation</excerpt>

Report the renderer Pixi actually selected.
When WebGL is unavailable, PixiJS 8.14.0 treats preference: "webgl" as a first-choice preference and then tries WebGPU. If WebGPU is available, createPixiApplication returns backend: "webgl" even though app.renderer is a WebGPU renderer.
rendererBackend then selects the WebGL-specific staging path. Derive the backend from the initialized renderer, or initialize only the requested renderer for each attempt. Do not use the loop variable as the selected backend.

Description
Adds native Linux Wayland cursor position tracking and kernel
evdevclick telemetry. On Wayland environments (like Hyprland), Recordly can now capture real cursor coordinates and mouse clicks during screen recordings instead of falling back to empty(0, 0)samples.Motivation
On Linux Wayland compositors:
uiohook-napionly binds to X11/Xwayland and receives no input events when the cursor is over native Wayland windows (causingload_input_helper: XkbGetKeyboard failedand preventing clean terminal exit onCtrl+C).screen.getCursorScreenPoint()always returns{ x: 0, y: 0 }under Wayland due to display server restrictions.This change addresses this cleanly:
