Problem
Users cannot find CursorLens in macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security permission lists (Screen Recording, Camera, Microphone, etc.), making it impossible to grant permissions via the system toggle switches.
PR #8 correctly added code to trigger permission request dialogs, but the app still doesn't appear in the system settings because the build was missing entitlements and hardened runtime configuration.
Root Cause
electron-builder.json5was missinghardenedRuntime: trueNSScreenCaptureUsageDescription— the screen recording usage description was not declared in Info.plistsck-recorderand other helpers were compiled without codesign or entitlementsChanges
