Summary

In the Studio Rec tab, the microphone could not be turned off. The mic row was the only settings row carrying an inline audio-level meter, so its controls — device dropdown + meter + On/Off toggle — overflowed the fixed 360px settings panel. The On/Off toggle was pushed off the right edge, reachable only via a non-obvious horizontal scrollbar, so in practice the mic looked impossible to disable. Camera and System audio, which have no meter, were unaffected.

This PR:

  • Moves the mic level meter onto the preview as a bottom-left overlay, so the mic row matches the Camera row (label · device selector · On/Off toggle).
  • Guards the row against overflow: the control group and device <select> may shrink and the selected name truncates (min-width: 0), while the On/Off toggle never shrinks (flex-shrink: 0), so it is always fully visible. This also hardens the Camera row against long device names.

The mic enable/disable logic was already correct — the toggle was simply unreachable. This is a layout-only change.

Screenshots / video

Before (see #624 for the image): the Microphone row's On/Off toggle sits off the right edge of the 360px panel and is only reachable via a horizontal scrollbar; Camera and System audio show their toggle normally.

After: the mic level meter moves to the preview (bottom-left), the Microphone row matches the Camera row, and the On/Off toggle is always visible with no horizontal scrollbar — even with a long device name (the dropdown truncates).

Testing

  • npx tsc — passes.
  • npx biome check on the changed .tsx — passes (CSS modules are outside biome's configured paths).
  • Built a Linux AppImage from this branch and verified in the running app: the mic On/Off toggle is fully visible and disables the mic; the level meter now renders on the preview and responds to input; the mic-row icon is intact; Camera and System audio behave as before. Verified with a long microphone device name so the dropdown truncates instead of overflowing.

The mic row was the only settings row carrying an inline audio-level meter, so
its controls — device <select> + meter + On/Off toggle — overflowed the fixed
360px panel. The toggle was pushed off the right edge, reachable only via a
non-obvious horizontal scrollbar, so the mic looked impossible to turn off
(Camera and System audio, with no meter, stayed clickable).

Two changes:
- Move the mic level meter onto the preview as a bottom-left overlay, so the mic
  row matches the Camera row (label, device selector, On/Off toggle).
- Guard the row against overflow so a long device name truncates the dropdown
  instead of pushing the toggle off-panel: the control group and <select> may
  shrink (min-width: 0) while the toggle never does (flex-shrink: 0). This also
  hardens the Camera row against long device names.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Rec preview now shows the microphone level meter when enabled. The microphone settings row no longer contains the meter. Its device selector truncates long names, and the On/Off toggle keeps its width.

Changes

Rec microphone UI

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preview microphone meter
src/components/ai-edition/v4/RecStage.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/EditorShellV4.module.css
The preview renders AudioLevelMeter with a MicOn icon when prefs.micEnabled is true. The new .recMicMeter style positions it at the preview's bottom-left.
Microphone settings layout
src/components/ai-edition/v4/RecStage.tsx, src/components/ai-edition/v4/EditorShellV4.module.css
The settings row removes the inline meter. The device selector can shrink and truncate long names. The On/Off toggle does not shrink. Device persistence remains unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 05882

The microphone meter now appears in the preview and the settings toggle remains visible with long device names. The layout change is ready with low risk, but automated coverage for the new enabled, disabled, loading, and narrow-width states is still needed.

Add colocated Vitest tests for the new RecStage microphone states.

Cover enabled and disabled prefs.micEnabled, loading devices with the On/Off button visible, and long device labels in a narrow panel. RecStage has no test file, and the repository requires tests for every new behavior.
