* fix(computer-use): stop relaunching the macOS permission helper while Accessibility is denied (#34390) Every computerUsePermissions:getStatus / computer.permissionsStatus call launched a fresh helper via open -n that polls TCC for up to ~3.5s. Three always-mounted setup-guide hooks re-read on every window focus, so a denied Accessibility state produced batches of helper launches and continuous TCCAccessRequest traffic. Gate status reads in main: coalesce concurrent reads, reuse granted results for 2s, and back off denied/failed results 10s doubling to a 120s cap. Window focus lowers the backoff to a 10s floor; openSetup/reset invalidate it. * fix(computer-use): never serve stale macOS permission status after the user acts (#34390) - Re-probe once per real return to Orca (blur then focus) instead of a 10s floor, so grants and revocations made in System Settings show without another focus. - computer.permissionsStatus accepts an optional fresh flag (web clients send it) that bypasses the denied backoff; older hosts strip it, older clients omit it. - A provider permission_denied reply invalidates the cached status. - Invalidate again after a TCC reset; stale in-flight probes get one follow-up probe instead of an overlapping helper. - Failed checks are shared for 2s and retried, not backed off like a denial. * fix(computer-use): gate macOS permission re-probes on app-level returns only (#34390) - Track did-resign-active/did-become-active instead of BrowserWindow blur/focus, so moving between Orca's own windows never re-launches the helper. - If the renderer's focus read reaches main before did-become-active, treat it as the return when a window is focused, so the first read after return is fresh. - Passive badges (setup-guide progress, feature-wall status) opt into the denied backoff with background: true; omitted flags (older clients, active setup screens) keep near-live reads with 2s reuse. Replaces the unreleased fresh flag. - Obsolete probes no longer record outcomes or advance the denied backoff. * test(computer-use): drop casts from permission IPC wiring test * fix(computer-use): keep remote permission reads near-live and count startup as away (#34390) - Web clients never forward background: browser focus can't activate the host, so remote setup surfaces get 2s reuse instead of a stale denial. - Seed the departed state when binding app activity, so a grant made during a slow startup is picked up on the first return. - Drop the mock-only sidecar invalidation test; keep gate constants private. * fix(computer-use): never serve a cached denial to foreground permission reads (#34390) - Active screens, web clients and older clients only reuse a denial by joining an in-flight probe; granted and error results keep the 2s reuse. - Revert the unreleased RPC background option so remote reads stay foreground. - Drop the IPC test half that exercised events production no longer listens to.
