Start trajectory recording. Every subsequent action-tool invocation (click, right_click, scroll, type_text, press_key, hotkey, set_value) writes a turn folder under `output_dir`:
|
|
|
|
- `before_state.json` / `after_state.json` — application AX/UIA/AT-SPI state immediately before and after the action.
|
|
- `before.png` / `after.png` — target-window screenshots immediately before and after the action.
|
|
- `evidence.json` — capture status and a stable classification when an expected artifact could not be captured.
|
|
- `app_state.json` — post-action AX/UIA snapshot for the target pid.
|
|
- `screenshot.png` — compatibility alias of `after.png`.
|
|
- `action.json` — tool name, full input arguments, result summary, result-error flag, pid, click point (when applicable), ISO-8601 timestamp.
|
|
- `click.png` — for dispatched click-family actions only, `before.png` with a red marker at the click point. A call refused before target resolution is explicitly not applicable instead.
|
|
|
|
Turn folders are named `turn-00001/`, `turn-00002/`, etc. Turn numbering restarts at 1 each time recording is (re-)started.
|
|
|
|
**Video is off by default.** Pass `record_video: true` to also capture the main display to `<output_dir>/recording.mp4` (H.264 / 30 fps) for the lifetime of the session. The recording is torn down automatically when the MCP client disconnects.
|
|
|
|
**macOS uses native ScreenCaptureKit** (daemon-owned SCStream + SCRecordingOutput) so video inherits the daemon's Screen Recording grant — no extra TCC prompt, no ffmpeg subprocess. Requires macOS 15.0+.
|
|
|
|
**Windows + Linux use an ffmpeg subprocess** (`gdigrab` / `x11grab` + libx264). Requires ffmpeg on PATH (winget install Gyan.FFmpeg / apt install ffmpeg); when ffmpeg is missing or fails on startup the per-turn capture (screenshots + action.json) still runs and the session's `last_error` field carries the diagnostic.
|
|
|
|
State persists for the life of the daemon; a restart resets to disabled with no on-disk state. Call `stop_recording` to disable + finalize the mp4.
