+# Desktop Release Regression Inventory
+
+This inventory records desktop regression coverage that is intentionally outside
+the deterministic PR gate. The release matrix validator keeps these entries
+visible so they are reviewed before a production desktop release.
+
+## Packaged and E2E Coverage
+
+- gameOpenWindow — full round-trip with openGameWindow mock (needs canvas mock update)
+- Abnormal window position (off-screen) is corrected to safe defaults (e2e)
+- Deep link received while app is closed causes app to launch (e2e)
+- Deep link received while app is open does not launch second instance (e2e)
+- Shortcuts survive window focus changes (e2e)
+- App launches automatically after system restart (e2e)
+- Auto-launch survives app updates (e2e)
+- Keyboard shortcut Cmd+Q triggers quit (e2e)
+- Keyboard shortcut Cmd+R triggers reload (e2e)
+- Keyboard shortcut Cmd+Option+I opens devtools (e2e)
+- Gateway discovery sends gatewayDiscovery push event to renderer (integration)
+- Canvas window is sandboxed — cannot access main app origin (integration)
+- Canvas navigate blocks external URLs (integration)
+- Agent port is reachable via HTTP after status reaches 'running' (integration)
+- Agent crash triggers automatic restart (integration)
+- Stopping agent while starting does not leave zombie process (integration)
+- Check for updates contacts the release server (network)
+- Applying update relaunches the app (e2e)
+- Update check works on both canary and stable channels (network)
+- Tray icon persists after main window is closed (e2e)
+- Main window has native vibrancy effect on macOS (e2e)
+- Context menu closes when clicking elsewhere (e2e)
+
+## Hardware and Manual Coverage
+
+- Microphone input works after permission is granted (hardware)
+- Swabble fires 'wakeWordDetected' event when wake word is spoken (hardware)
+- Audio transcription produces non-empty text for clear speech (hardware)
+- Camera preview renders in the UI when stream is started (hardware)
+- Switching between front/rear camera works (hardware)
+- takeScreenshot returns a non-empty base64 PNG (hardware)
+- Frame capture mode streams frames at configured interval (hardware)
+- Left-clicking the tray icon opens the companion window (visual)
+- Right-clicking the tray icon shows the tray context menu (visual)
+- Window can be dragged by clicking the header region (visual)
+- Photo quality is acceptable at default settings (hardware)
+- Requesting accessibility opens System Preferences (OS interaction)
+- Permission status reflects actual system state (OS interaction)
+- Context menu appears at cursor position (visual)
+- Power state reflects actual battery status (hardware)
