What the log showed

The Windows beta handoff log exposed three user-visible failures plus one test-feedback blocker discovered during diagnosis:

1. OpenApp action hotkey repeatedly failed to register Ctrl+Shift+O with HotKey already registerd, retrying every 3 seconds up to at least attempt 130.
2. Repeated stop/toggle edges during Starting were queued while ASR was still connecting, making cancellation feel unreliable.
3. Beta update checks hit v1.3.4-4-beta-tauri/latest-windows-x86_64-beta.json before the Windows beta manifest asset was available, surfacing updater errors during a release publishing window.
4. Windows Rust unit test binaries could fail at process startup with STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND without a Common Controls v6 manifest, making the Windows regression loop untrustworthy.

What to build

Ship a first Windows handoff core-fix slice that makes the logged failures actionable and testable:

• Allow Open App and Switch Style action shortcuts to be disabled instead of forcing a conflicting global hotkey.
• Ensure disabled action shortcuts unregister existing monitors, do not participate in overlap checks, and do not keep retrying in the background.
• Restore a reliable Windows Rust unit-test feedback loop by ensuring MSVC test binaries can resolve Common Controls v6 APIs.
• Make repeated stop/toggle during Starting cancel predictably while preserving the first short-dictation pending-stop path.
• Add a beta updater manifest readiness probe so release-publishing gaps do not appear as user-facing updater failures.

Updater diagnosis: the beta release tag was discoverable before the Windows updater manifest asset finished publishing. Later verification showed the manifest existed with Last-Modified: 2026-05-18T08:09:44Z, after earlier logged failures.

Acceptance criteria

• Settings lets Windows users disable Open App and Switch Style action shortcuts.
• A disabled action shortcut persists as an empty primary key with no modifiers and does not collide with dictation, QA, translation, or the other action shortcut.
• A disabled action shortcut unregisters any existing monitor and does not enter an endless retry loop.
• Targeted Windows Rust unit tests can start without STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND on MSVC.
• First stop/toggle during Starting preserves the pending-stop path; repeated stop/toggle while pending cancels the session.
• Cancellation before ASR open does not continue startup with stale session resources.
• Beta updater checks skip noisy publishing gaps when the concrete platform manifest is 404, while still surfacing real network failures.
• CI passes on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

PR scope validation - 2026-05-18 real-machine rerun

The current PR #490 scope still looks necessary and bounded:

• Original log shows OpenApp retrying a conflicting Ctrl+Shift+O registration up to at least attempt 130.
• Original log shows repeated Right Alt (vk=165) stop/toggle edges during Starting before ASR finishes connecting.
• Original log shows beta updater checking a Windows beta manifest URL during a release publishing gap.

Fresh validation passed:

cargo build --manifest-path openless-all/app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --bin openless
cargo test --manifest-path openless-all/app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --lib action_shortcut -- --nocapture
cargo test --manifest-path openless-all/app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --lib starting -- --nocapture
cargo test --manifest-path openless-all/app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml --lib beta_manifest -- --nocapture
npm --prefix openless-all/app run build

Results: action_shortcut 3/3, starting 6/6, beta_manifest 5/5, build passed.

Real-machine smoke also passed for runtime launch, Windows low-level hook delivery on the current local configured trigger, and capsule start/cancel visibility.

Residual risks found during wider rerun are outside #490 and remain tracked separately:

• [windows/capsule] 修复胶囊和悬窗生命周期 P0 #480: QA Esc close smoke currently fails on this machine; do not claim floating-window lifecycle fully closed.
• [windows/window] 修复悬窗透明遮罩和 Windows 白边 #482: windows-ui-config.test.mjs currently fails because the Windows native-chrome/decorations contract is missing.

Gate decision: #490 should stay focused on the handoff core slice. Do not expand it to absorb #480/#482 unless the maintainer explicitly changes the PR scope.
