Patch release 4.18.2 on release/4.18.x. It cherry-picks two fixes from dev and bumps the version.

Release notes (draft)

🐛 Fixes

🔧 Internal

Changes

Verification

  • yarn lint (ESLint and tsc): 0 errors.
  • Jest on src/videoCallWindow, src/app, src/servers/preload, src/settingsWindow and src/ui/components/SettingsView: 509 tests pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Mac App Store users can now use the internal video chat window, including for supported Jitsi calls. The setting is available in preferences, and existing choices are preserved.
    • Reopening a video call now focuses its existing window when it’s already showing the requested conference, including when the URL differs only by a fragment.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Clarified that Google Meet calls always open in a browser because screen recording isn’t supported in Electron.

…conference (#3569)

* fix: focus the video call window when it is already on the requested conference

Opening a conference focuses the video call window instead of recreating it
only when the URL is exactly the one the window was opened for. The web
client's conference start page replaces its own address with the conference's
once the conference exists, so for a call the user started, opening that call
again — from the workspace's ongoing calls, say — never matched: the window
was closed and opened anew, the user left the call and joined it again, and
the others saw them freeze until the old connection timed out.

The window is now also matched by what its webview shows, and URLs are
compared as conferences — origin, path and query — rather than as strings.

* test: cover isSameConferenceUrl edge cases

The helper is exported but had no direct test. Cover a different fragment (same conference), a different query, path or origin (different conference) and an unparseable URL.

…uilds (#3570)

* fix: open video calls in the internal window on Mac App Store builds (NV-88)

Mac App Store builds always opened video calls in the browser. A
process.mas check in the preload skipped the internal window, the
settings toggle was disabled, and a 3.8.4 migration stored the setting
as off. No sandbox limit causes this. The production MAS build (4.17.2)
opens the video call window, gets camera and microphone, and captures
the screen when the window is opened directly.

Remove the process.mas checks from the preload, the legacy Jitsi
window.open override and the settings toggle, and drop the MAS-only
description string. Turn the setting on once for existing MAS installs
with a one-shot revision stored as config meta, the same way the
menu-bar default is applied. A later user choice or an
overridden-settings.json value still wins.

* fix: stop saying Jitsi calls open only in the browser

The "Video calls inside app" description said that Google Meet and
Jitsi calls always open in the browser. Jitsi calls open in the video
call window, so remove Jitsi from the description in all locales.
Google Meet calls still open in the browser.

* fix: show the clear screen capture permissions button on Mac App Store builds

Mac App Store builds now open video calls in the video call window, so
users can give a server permission to capture the screen. Show the
button that clears these permissions on all builds.

Walkthrough

The update enables internal video chat on Mac App Store builds, changes related settings and descriptions, and updates existing video-call window matching. It also updates the package and macOS bundle versions.

Changes

Internal Video Chat

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mac App Store default and release version
src/app/PersistableValues.ts, src/app/main/data.ts, src/app/__tests__/PersistableValues.spec.ts, src/app/main/data.spec.ts, package.json, electron-builder.json
A revision-based default enables internal video chat on Mac App Store builds unless an override supplies the setting. Tests cover stale and applied revisions, overrides, and non-Mac-App-Store builds. Package and macOS bundle versions are updated.
Mac App Store internal-window routing
src/injected.ts, src/servers/preload/internalVideoChatWindow.ts, src/servers/preload/__tests__/internalVideoChatWindow.spec.ts, src/settingsWindow/sections/VideoCallsSection.tsx, src/ui/components/SettingsView/features/InternalVideoChatWindow.tsx, src/i18n/*.i18n.json
Mac App Store builds can use the internal window for Jitsi when the setting is enabled. The setting and screen-capture controls are no longer restricted on that platform. Translations remove the Mac App Store-specific description and identify Google Meet, not Jitsi, as browser-only.
Reuse video-call window by conference URL
src/videoCallWindow/ipc.ts, src/videoCallWindow/main/ipc.main.spec.ts
Existing video-call windows are reused when the requested URL matches the recorded or displayed conference URL by origin, path, and query. Fragments are ignored; tests cover URL matches and replacements.

Do not let a stale recorded URL override the guest URL.

If the webview moves from conference A to conference B, activeCall.url can still name A. A request for A then matches the recorded URL, focuses the window showing B, and never opens A. When a live guest URL is available, use it as the current conference identity. Use activeCall.url only before the guest URL is available.
