Popup pages loaded their scripts as classic <script src> tags, which the
renderer build never bundles, so an installed app rendered only the static
markup: the recording tip stayed at 0:00 with no wave bars and live captions
showed nothing.
- declare popup scripts as modules so the build emits them, and fail
packaging when a renderer page references an asset that was never produced
- hold popup IPC until the renderer has loaded and re-assert visibility on
every show, so a popup hidden once still appears next time
- surface popup renderer console and load failures in the main log

Installers could not be published at all: the signing certificate does not
exist yet, and the release pipelines stop at their signing guard. Users had no
way to install a fixed build, so the product was effectively stuck behind a
certificate that takes weeks to obtain.
There is also a second, independent blocker: the download feed sits behind
Cloudflare, which rejects any upload body over about 100 MiB, and the app with
its speech engine exceeds that even when signed.
A portable channel now publishes what can actually be delivered today: the app
compressed into 95 MiB 7z volumes (162 MiB total instead of 243 MiB), a Scoop
bucket for a normal install and uninstall experience, and a verifiable manual
installer script. It is deliberately separate from the auto-update feed, needs
no certificate, and refuses to overwrite an already published version.
