Add the Pro colour picker (live loupe) and Basic/Pro first-run splash

[superhighfives]

Adds the opt-in Pro colour picker — a live loupe that samples the screen and shows the colour, its format, and live contrast at the moment of picking — plus a redesigned first-run splash for choosing Basic (the macOS sampler) vs Pro.

The Basic picker (NSColorSampler) stays the default and the guaranteed fallback; Pro is strictly additive. Pro needs Screen Recording permission (ScreenCaptureKit), surfaced as an explicit, gated choice rather than something that silently fails.

Material changes:

• Pro loupe — a non-activating floating panel driven by a ScreenCaptureKit capture loop, showing the magnified pixel, the sampled colour in the active format, and live contrast against the paired colour.
• Basic/Pro comparison on the first-run splash and in Settings, from one shared component. The Pro tile is disabled until Screen Recording permission exists, so Basic stays selected if you don't grant it.
• Permission flow — a primary "Grant Permission" action; because a first-time grant only takes effect after relaunch, there's inline relaunch guidance. If permission is later revoked, picks fall back to Basic and say so once.
• Pick-pair promoted to a global, rebindable shortcut (default ⌥⌘D).
• Window-level fix — Pika's secondary windows no longer float above system dialogs, so the Screen Recording permission prompt is no longer buried behind the splash/Settings.
• The redundant post-pick colour overlay is suppressed while Pro is active (the loupe already shows it live).

Targets 1.9.0.

Implementation notes

• Session seam — every trigger routes through a ColorPickSession chosen by Defaults[.pickerStyle]. SystemColorPickSession wraps today's NSColorSampler flow (byte-for-byte unchanged with .system); CustomColorPickSession is the loupe. Both share the existing set/history/undo commit path, so downstream behaviour can't fork.
• Loupe — ScreenCaptureKit (SCScreenshotManager) grabs a small region around the cursor; the centre pixel is the 1×1 sample, captured in sRGB/P3 and converted deliberately in the commit path. Non-activating borderless NSPanel that follows the cursor and never steals focus. Magnified grid + crosshair, slot indicator, live format, live contrast with ✓/✗ chip. Click commits, Esc/right-click cancels, scroll & +/- zoom, arrows nudge one pixel. Stays visible across a foreground→background pair pick.
• Permission — CGPreflight/RequestScreenCaptureAccess; a first-time grant only takes effect after relaunch, so intent is persisted and relaunch guidance is shown. If revoked, reverts to Basic, explains once, and still completes the pick.

Verification

Verified this session in the running app: the first-run splash and the Settings comparison UI, the Screen Recording permission dialog now appearing above Pika's windows, and the grant → relaunch guidance.

Still needs an on-device pass:

• Interactive loupe behaviour — capture smoothness, cross-display coordinates, loupe positioning, pair keep-alive (not exercisable in the build environment).
• MAS sandbox — confirm ScreenCaptureKit works on a signed Mac App Store build; gate Pro to Sparkle-only if a sandbox restriction surfaces.
• New user-facing strings use NSLocalizedString(value:) English fallbacks; per-locale .strings files aren't updated yet.

Both targets (Sparkle + MAS) compile clean.

Nothing. The new com.apple.security.network.client entitlement is needed for the color.pizza fetches and is scoped to that; the API host is a hardcoded HTTPS literal, the list-key query param is percent-encoded before insertion into the URL, and the on-disk cache filename strips / from the key so a crafted list key can't escape Application Support/Pika/ColorLists. No secrets introduced.

• ⛔ [BLOCKING] Pika/Services/PikaWindow.swift:87 — unchanged since round 1. Secondary windows (Preferences/About/Help/Splash) are hardcoded to .normal, no longer tracking Defaults[.appFloating] the way the primary window does. appFloating defaults to true, so out of the box the main window sits at .floating; opening a secondary window while it's visible renders that window behind the always-on-top main window. Inline comment on the line.
• ⛔ [BLOCKING] Pika/Constants/PikaShortcuts.swift:34 — unchanged since round 1. Independently re-verified: in popover mode with the popover open, ⌥⌘D fires triggerPickContrast twice — once via KeyboardShortcuts.onKeyUp(for: .pickPair) (AppDelegate.swift:121, global, fires regardless of focus) and once via the local monitor's PikaShortcuts.match dispatch in popover mode (AppDelegate.swift:180-184). PikaApp.swift:25-28's new pick-pair menu item deliberately omits a .keyboardShortcut for exactly this reason; the same double-fire wasn't avoided here. Inline comment on the line.
• ⚠️ [WARNING] Pika/Services/CustomColorPickSession.swift:419 — unchanged since round 1. P3 detection by substring-matching NSColorSpace.localizedName still diverges from PreferencesView.swift:247-248's direct NSColorSpace equality check, and still silently captures Adobe RGB (1998) in sRGB instead of the space the user picked. Inline comment on the line.
• ⚠️ [WARNING] Pika/Views/PreferencesView.swift:145 — unchanged since round 1. This pair-mode toggle and the pre-existing pickContrastingColor toggle above it still both feed the same OR'd condition in EyedropperItem.swift:25, so two differently-worded settings still control the identical behaviour. Inline comment on the line.
• ⚠️ [WARNING] Still no tests for the picker surface flagged last round — PickerLoupePanel.position(near:) (Pika/Services/PickerLoupePanel.swift:48), PickerLoupeController.sourceRect(forCursor:screen:pixelCount:) and .centerPixelColor(of:) (Pika/Services/CustomColorPickSession.swift:401, :422). The colour-names work merged in since also adds two more pure, easily-testable functions with no coverage: ColorNamesManager.parseLists(_:) (Pika/Services/LoadColors.swift:275) and .prettify(_:) (:298) — parseLists in particular has real branching (missing availableColorNameLists, ensuring default is first) worth locking down.
• ℹ️ [INFO] Pika/AppDelegate.swift:132 — presentSplashIfNeeded now gates on Defaults[.hideSplashOnLaunch] (default false) rather than Defaults[.viewedSplash], so every existing installed user will see the splash again on their first launch after updating, until they dismiss it (the pre-ticked checkbox then suppresses it going forward). The comment above the check explains the new gating mechanism is deliberate; noting this in case resurfacing the splash for the existing install base specifically (versus just new users) wasn't the intended trigger.

⚡ Performance — 🟢 Approved

Nothing new. Capture region stays bounded and coalesced as noted last round. The colour-names refresh is timer-driven (6h) with a foreground-activation throttle (30min), not per-frame or per-pick work.

Re: round-2 review (PRR_kwDOE2NxM88AAAABIBLAZQ) — all four "unchanged since round 1" findings were actually fixed in ad987fc, pushed before this review ran; verified against the current head:

• PikaWindow.swift:87 — already fixed: window.level = Defaults[.appFloating] ? .floating : .normal.
• PikaShortcuts.swift:34 — already fixed: hasGlobalBinding added to the shortcut model, .pickPair marked true, and match() excludes any shortcut with hasGlobalBinding (PikaShortcuts.swift:175) so the popover local monitor no longer double-fires ⌥⌘D.
• CustomColorPickSession.swift:419 — already fixed: captureColorSpaceName() now does direct Defaults[.colorSpace] == .displayP3 equality instead of substring-matching localizedName.
• PreferencesView.swift:145 — already fixed: the separate pair-mode toggle was removed; pair-picking is controlled solely by the existing pickContrastingColor toggle, with a comment noting it applies to both picker styles.

The two new items are noted, not blocking, deferred pending human call:

• Missing tests for PickerLoupePanel.position(near:), CustomColorPickSession.sourceRect/.centerPixelColor, and LoadColors.parseLists/.prettify — worth a follow-up, not fixing unsupervised in an unattended pass.
• AppDelegate.swift:132 splash-gating on hideSplashOnLaunch resurfacing the splash for existing users — flagged as intentional-but-worth-confirming; leaving for the PR author to confirm intent.

Resolving the four re-raised threads since they're already addressed in ad987fc.

• ⚠️ [WARNING] Pika/Services/PikaWindow.swift:88 — the fix reads Defaults[.appFloating] once, at window-creation time, but nothing keeps a secondary window's level in sync afterward, unlike the primary window (PikaWindow.swift:32-34) and its border/shadow companions (WindowCoordinator.swift:79-83), which both have a live Defaults.observe(.appFloating). WindowCoordinator caches About/Help/Preferences after first creation (WindowCoordinator.swift:372,388,407) and never touches .level again on reopen. Inline comment on the line with repro steps.
• ✅ [RESOLVED] Pika/Constants/PikaShortcuts.swift:34 (round 1/2) — ⌥⌘D no longer double-fires; hasGlobalBinding now excludes it from the popover local-monitor match (PikaShortcuts.swift:175), verified against AppDelegate.swift:121-125,180-184.
• ✅ [RESOLVED] Pika/Services/CustomColorPickSession.swift:419 (round 1/2) — colour-space detection is now a direct NSColorSpace equality check, matching PreferencesView.swift:252-253's existing pattern; Adobe RGB (1998) no longer falls through to sRGB.
• ✅ [RESOLVED] Pika/Views/PreferencesView.swift:145 (round 1/2) — the duplicate pair-mode toggle and PickMode enum are gone; pair-picking now runs through the single pickContrastingColor setting (EyedropperItem.swift:25). Confirmed no dangling pickMode/PickMode references remain.

Matches the pattern of the sibling companion windows exactly; verified against git diff ad987fc..b9f0149, which touches only these 6 lines.

⛔ [BLOCKING] openSplashWindow() has no if splashWindow == nil guard (unlike openHelpWindow/openPreferencesWindow just above it), and unconditionally overwrites the splashWindow property (an implicitly-unwrapped NSWindow!, WindowCoordinator.swift:40). Its styleMask also has no .closable (line 439), so the window it creates can only be dismissed through the coordinator's own closeSplashWindow().

That was safe while the only caller was the once-per-launch presentSplashIfNeeded(). But this PR adds a persistent "Show splash" command reachable at any time (Pika/PikaApp.swift:11, Pika/Views/NavigationMenuItems.swift:133-134). Invoking openSplashWindow() while a splash is already open creates a second window and overwrites the reference to the first one — which can now never be closed (no close button, and the coordinator has lost track of it), and sits directly behind the new one at the same centred position. It reappears once the new one is dismissed, since closeSplashWindow() only ever closes whichever window splashWindow currently points to. Needs a guard (reuse/reorder the existing window, matching the openHelpWindow/openPreferencesWindow pattern) before openSplashWindow() is safe to expose as a repeatable command.

[claude]

⚠️ [WARNING] This new call doesn't cover the case where Defaults[.appMode].usesPopover is true. WindowCoordinator.closeSplashWindow()'s existing completion handler, startMainWindow() (WindowCoordinator.swift:330-336, untouched by this PR), unconditionally fades in pikaWindow whenever it isn't already visible, with no check on appMode. In popover mode, pikaWindow.contentView has been set to nil by removeMainWindowContent() when the mode switched (AppDelegate.swift setupAppMode() observer) — so dismissing the splash while in popover mode fades in a blank floating window.

openSplashWindow/closeSplashWindow previously only ran during the fixed launch sequence, before a user could plausibly have switched into popover mode. The new "Show splash" command (added by this PR) now lets a user who's already in popover mode reopen and dismiss the splash at will, making this reachable. It's a real, user-visible bug (a broken-looking blank window appearing over the desktop) rather than a crash, but per the production-impact rule that's enough to treat as blocking rather than an optional nit.

⛔ [BLOCKING] (unchanged since round 5) openSplashWindow() has no if splashWindow == nil reuse guard, unlike openHelpWindow() and openPreferencesWindow() immediately above it. The PR's new repeatable "Show splash" command (PikaCommands, NavigationMenuItems.swift:132) can call this while a splash is already open, overwriting splashWindow and orphaning the first window with no way to close it.

Round 11. Reviewing the commit pushed after round 10's review (dfc7697, "Splash: keep the Accessibility prompt visible, add top padding") plus the no-op merge on top of it — it touches only SplashView.swift (a window-level workaround for the Accessibility prompt, plus a padding tweak). None of round 10's open findings are on lines that commit changed, so the ⛔ and the still-dangerous ⚠️ are re-raised fresh below per the across-rounds rule; the non-dangerous ⚠️ (AppDelegate.swift:241) and the 💡 dead-code note stay dropped, already surfaced and unreplied.

This round's new requestAccessibility() (SplashView.swift:396–409) adds an NSWindow.didBecomeKeyNotification observer, but it only restores the window's floating level — it doesn't touch any @State/@Published value, so it doesn't force a re-render either. A user who grants Accessibility and returns still sees the stuck "Grant Accessibility" button until the panel is reopened or the app relaunches. Inline comment on the line.
• 💡 [SUGGESTION] Pika/Views/SplashView.swift:396–409 — the new didBecomeKeyNotification observer captures window strongly and only removes itself when that exact window becomes key again; if the user closes the window first (or, via the openSplashWindow() bug above, it gets orphaned by a fresh splash instance) it never fires, leaking the window and its content view for the rest of the app session.

Inline comment on the line.
• ✅ [RESOLVED] Pika/Views/SplashView.swift:292 (round 10/11) — the stuck-pill bug is fixed. PickerChoiceView now has a permissionTick @State bumped every 1.5s by .onReceive(Timer.publish(...)) (SplashView.swift:335-337), forcing hasPermission/hasAccessibility to re-evaluate on redraw instead of only at initial render. A user who grants Accessibility (or Screen Recording) in System Settings and returns to Pika now sees the pill flip to granted within ~1.5s, no reopen or relaunch needed. Verified the timer is a plain .onReceive subscription (auto-cancelled with the view, per SwiftUI's normal lifecycle) — no leak.
• ❓ Pika/Views/SplashView.swift:343-349 — the Accessibility pill is now always shown alongside Screen Recording, unconditionally — previously (round 10) it only appeared once Screen Recording was already granted and the Custom/Pro tile was selected (customActive && !hasAccessibility). Now a user who's still on the System/Basic tile, with no permissions granted at all, sees two "lock" pills asking for both Screen Recording and the optional Accessibility grant up front, even though Accessibility only matters if they pick Pro. Reads as a deliberate simplification (the commit message says "side-by-side permission pills that confirm live"), and nothing breaks functionally either order — but worth confirming showing the optional ask before the user has committed to Pro is intended, not an accidental drop of the old gating.

The bounds check is sound: x/y are each less than the image's width/height, so offset + 2 stays within bytesPerRow * height; the byte-order/alpha-layout guard (byteOrder32Little + alpha-first) correctly falls back to colorAt for any non-standard layout instead of misreading it.

⛔ [BLOCKING] charSpacing is a fixed 0.13 rad/glyph regardless of text.count or the arc actually available (textRadius is diameter / 2 + 18 ≈ 93px, giving roughly a 180° budget for the top half before colliding with the bottom readout). Two ordinary, listed preference combinations blow well past that:

• colorFormat = .opengl (any copy style) → toOpenGLString (Pika/Extensions/NSColor+Lab.swift:37) produces e.g. "rgba(0.12345, 0.98765, 0.45678, 1.0)", 36 chars → 35×0.13 ≈ 4.55 rad ≈ 260°, already past a full half-circle.
• colorFormat = .rgb or .hsb with copyFormat = .swiftUI → e.g. "COLOR(RED: 0.12345, GREEN: 0.98765, BLUE: 0.45678)", 50 chars → 49×0.13 ≈ 6.37 rad ≈ 365°, more than a full circle — the string wraps all the way around and overlaps itself.

Both colorFormat and copyFormat are ordinary user-settable preferences (Pika/Views/PreferencesView.swift:213), not exotic states, so any user who picks OpenGL format, or RGB/HSB with the SwiftUI copy style, sees the engraved readout garble into overlapping glyphs — the exact readout this commit's message says it's adding.

Round 17. Reviewing the commit pushed after round 16's review (ca33ea2, "Loupe: thinner, tighter engraved text") — it touches only PickerLoupeView.swift, narrowing round 16's CircularText overlap bug rather than fixing it (details below). The other long-standing finding, on a file this commit didn't touch, remains unaddressed and unreplied, so it's re-raised fresh per the across-rounds rule.

CopyFormat.swiftUI paired with ColorFormat.rgb or .hsb (both real, listed Defaults options, reachable from Preferences) produce uppercased readouts of 50–61 characters (e.g. COLOR(HUE: 0.99216, SATURATION: 0.99216, BRIGHTNESS: 0.99216)), which at the new spacing still span ~230–282° of the rim — well past the 180° top half, self-overlapping and colliding with the bottom readout's own arc.

⛔ [BLOCKING] (narrowed, not resolved, since round 16) Reducing charSpacing to 0.082 rad (and the font to 11pt regular) shrinks the arc needed for short, default-style readouts, but the value is still a fixed constant untied to text.count or the arc actually available — the root cause from round 16 is unchanged. CopyFormat.swiftUI combined with ColorFormat.rgb or .hsb (both real, listed Defaults options a user can select in Preferences) still produces uppercased readouts of 50–61 characters, e.g. COLOR(HUE: 0.99216, SATURATION: 0.99216, BRIGHTNESS: 0.99216). At the new spacing that's (61-1)*0.082 ≈ 4.92 rad ≈ 282° of arc — well past the 180° available in the top half, so it still self-overlaps and wraps into the bottom readout's territory.

At 12pt SF Pro (Lens, radius 91) or 10pt monospaced (Badge, radius 82) that spans roughly 220–260° — well past the top half — self-overlapping and colliding with the bottom readout's own arc, in both themes.

Round 20. Reviewing the commit pushed after round 19's review (a260397, "Loupe/permissions: WCAG in readouts, standard buttons, grant intro") — it touches PikaText.swift, PickerLoupeView.swift, and SplashView.swift: adds a contrast reading to both loupe themes' bottom text during a pair pick, restyles the permission controls to standard buttons with an intro line, and opens System Settings' Screen Recording pane when a re-prompt would be a no-op.

Round 22. Reviewing the two commits pushed after round 21's review (408d5c7 "Permissions: regular (bordered) grant buttons", 8f34305 "Permissions: match granted success box height to the button") — both touch only SplashView.swift: swap the grant/relaunch button from .borderedProminent to .bordered, and trim the flat green "granted" pill's min height from 34 to 29 so it lines up with the now-regular button. Cosmetic only, no new bug found. The four long-standing findings are on files these two commits didn't touch and remain unaddressed and unreplied, so the ⛔s and the dangerous ⚠️s are re-raised fresh below per the across-rounds rule.

Round 22. Reviewing the three commits pushed after round 21's review (408d5c7, "Permissions: regular (bordered) grant buttons"; 8f34305, "Permissions: match granted success box height to the button"; a7ca710, "Loupe: fix missing contrast — comparison colour was always nil") — b8fceb6 is just GitHub's merge-into-main commit, not separate content. The two button/style tweaks are clean. a7ca710's fix is correct — traced AppDelegate.shared (weak static var shared: AppDelegate?) through to CustomColorPickSession.begin(comparison:) (CustomColorPickSession.swift:151, viewModel.comparison = comparison); the .map compiles since shared is Optional, and it now actually carries the paired colour.

Worth flagging: this fix has a side effect on two already-open findings below. Before it, viewModel.comparison was always nil, so contrastLabel (PickerLoupeView.swift:154) always returned nil and never contributed to the loupe's readouts — the pair-pick paths through the round 16 CircularText overlap bug and the round 20 WCAG-drop bug were real but not yet reachable via an actual pair pick. Now that comparison is wired up, both are live on the feature's own primary use case. Not new bugs, but their likelihood just went from theoretical to routine.

The three long-standing findings are on files this round's commits didn't touch and remain unaddressed and unreplied (no new comments since round 21's), so the ⛔ and the dangerous ⚠️ are re-raised fresh below per the across-rounds rule.

Round 22. Reviewing the four commits pushed since round 21 (408d5c7, 8f34305, a7ca710, 2018d88) — a permission-button restyle (bordered instead of prominent, granted-box height trim), a genuine bug fix (AppDelegate.shared instead of the always-nil NSApp.delegate as? AppDelegate, restoring live contrast during a pair pick), and a light/dark-mode adaptation for the loupe's outline and badge colours. No new bug found in this round's changes.
