TheMaddax 4b8935afd1 feat: Implement auto-capture and cursor-free snapshots
- Add automatic capture start/stop based on board detection
- Implement cursor-free snapshot system:
  * Add SCStreamConfiguration cursor control
  * Add temporary capture session management
  * Ensure clean snapshots without cursor artifacts
- Add visual feedback:
  * Status indicator (green/yellow/gray)
  * Snapshot preview below board
  * Clear capture state indication
- Update documentation:
  * Add snapshot system patterns
  * Document cursor control implementation
  * Update technical constraints

# Active Context
## Current Status
- Screen capture module successfully implemented
- Window detection and capture working correctly
- SwiftUI interface with capture controls functioning
- Error handling system properly managing states
- Resource cleanup implemented
- Metal resource management optimized
- Automatic board detection and capture implemented
- Visual capture status indicator added
- Continuous board monitoring system implemented
- Auto-capture on game start/stop working successfully
- Manual snapshot system implemented with Scan button
- Snapshot preview display added below Chessboard Preview
- Cursor-free snapshot capture implemented
## Recent Changes
1. Enhanced Manual Snapshot System:
- New cursor-free capture:
* Temporarily disables cursor during snapshot
* Ensures clean board capture without mouse pointer
* Automatically restores cursor after snapshot
- Improved snapshot process:
* Stops current capture
* Takes cursor-free snapshot
* Processes board detection
* Restores normal capture
* Handles errors gracefully
- Snapshot visualization:
* Added preview area below Chessboard Preview
* Shows latest snapshot with visual feedback
* Clear indication when snapshot is taken
2. Implemented Continuous Board Monitoring:
- Added separate monitoring and capture tasks:
* Monitor constantly checks for chess boards (0.5s interval)
* Capture processes frames when active (0.1s interval)
- Auto-capture behavior working as expected:
* Starts monitoring when app launches
* Automatically starts capture when board appears
* Stops capture but continues monitoring when board disappears
* Successfully resumes capture when new game starts
- Performance characteristics:
* ~40% CPU usage during operation
* Stable memory management
* Responsive to game state changes
3. Enhanced Status Indication:
- Visual status indicator shows capture state:
* Green: Actively capturing board
* Yellow: Waiting for board
* Gray: Not capturing
- Clear error messages for different states
- Automatic status updates based on board detection
4. Resource Management:
- Implemented shared CIContext pattern:
* Prevents command queue exhaustion
* Reduces Metal resource usage
* Enables long-running captures
- Proper cleanup on task completion
- Efficient resource utilization
5. Improved Window Detection:
- Using SCShareableContent for window access
- Precise window identification:
* Exact bundle ID matching (com.chess.iphone)
* Window visibility verification (isOnScreen)
* Size validation (width > 100 && height > 100)
6. Error Handling:
- Improved error resilience:
* Continues monitoring even if capture stops
* Only stops on critical errors
* Shows error state without interrupting monitoring
- Clear error states
- Proper async/await usage
- Task cancellation management
- Thread-safe state updates
## Current Focus
1. Board Recognition:
- Process snapshot images
- Implement piece detection
- Extract board state
## Next Steps
1. Implement board recognition:
- Process snapshot images
- Detect chess pieces
- Map board coordinates
- Validate positions
2. Add position analysis
3. Create move detection system
4. Implement visual overlay
5. Integrate Stockfish engine
## Known Issues
- Need to handle different chess.com themes
- Need to implement piece recognition
- Position analysis pending implementation
