Commits on Nov 1, 2026

docs(specs): webview recycle gate — recycle when unfocused 30 s, an 'already exists' rebuild counts as success, a per-check sweep kills leftover renderers (THI-449)

docs(plans): webview recycle gate implementation plan, 6 tasks (THI-449)

docs: recycle-gate spec and plan after adversarial review — 30 min minimum age and 2 GB threshold, one rebuild channel, no focus theft, sweep only with a fresh pid (THI-449)

shell: focus.rs owns the window's focus and how long it has been lost; notifications reads it (THI-449)

shell: recycle once periscope has been unfocused 30 s, never within 30 min of a rebuild, above 2 GB (THI-449)

shell: rebuild attempts share one result channel, and a rebuild only takes focus when periscope had it (THI-449)

shell: every check sweeps leftover renderers the app owns, but only with a freshly read live pid; the after-recycle reaper goes (THI-449)

docs: tauri-shell and persist.js describe the new recycle gate, rebuild and sweep (THI-449)

docs(specs): recycle gate — wry's own activate() is the remaining focus question, each sweep kill re-checks, bad knobs fall back (THI-449)

shell: bad recycle knobs fall back instead of panicking, and the sweep rechecks against the live state before each kill (THI-449)
