crate::set_camera_input and crate::set_mic_input functions in lib.rs are not pub or pub(crate), so this will fail to compile.
Check apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/lib.rs:385 and apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/lib.rs:471 - both functions need pub(crate) visibility to be accessible from this module.

Using eprintln! to output JSON for discovery commands. Consider whether this should use proper logging (tracing::info!) or return the data through events/commands instead of stderr.

Verify that backend set_camera_input and set_mic_input functions properly handle the hardcoded "default" string as a device identifier. These may need actual device IDs from list commands.

The JSON payloads here don’t match what the desktop side deserializes (it uses #[serde(rename_all = "snake_case")], plus DeviceOrModelID variants are DeviceID/ModelID, and ScreenCaptureTarget is tagged as { variant: "display"|"window", id: ... }). As-is, Cap will likely fail to parse these actions.

options.camera ?? null / options.micLabel ?? null will coerce omitted values into null, which ends up disabling inputs on the desktop side. If the intent is "leave current selection", pass through undefined so JSON.stringify omits the key (keep null for explicit disable).

Sending camera: null / micLabel: null will actively disable camera + mic. If this command should "just start recording" without changing inputs, omit those fields.

Desktop DeviceOrModelID is DeviceID/ModelID (not Device), so this payload likely won’t deserialize.

Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
This PR implements comprehensive deeplink support for Cap with 10 new backend actions and a complete Raycast extension with 8 commands, enabling external control of Cap's recording functionality.
Key Changes:
deeplink_actions.rswith 10 new actions: pause/resume/toggle recording, screenshot capture, camera/mic switching, and device discovery (list cameras/mics/displays/windows)Critical Issues Found:
set_camera_inputandset_mic_inputfunctions inlib.rsare private but called fromdeeplink_actions.rs- needspub(crate)visibilitydeeplink.tsviolate the NO COMMENTS policy from CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.mdstop-recording.tsxArchitecture:
The implementation follows a clean deeplink pattern where Raycast constructs
cap-desktop://action?value=<JSON>URLs, the OS routes them to Cap's deeplink handler, which deserializes the JSON and executes corresponding recording/device actions.Testing Note:
The discovery actions (
ListCameras,ListMicrophones, etc.) output JSON toeprintln!, which works but consider using proper events or structured logging for production use.Confidence Score: 2/5
