feat(editor): mute the recording's own audio - #1500
A Mute recording switch in the Audio pane silences the take's own sound, saved with the project.
Preview: the recording goes silent (its waveform flattens on the timeline); added voiceover and music keep playing.
Export: clips are sent with hasAudio: false, so only the added tracks are mixed. If nothing audible is left (no track, no click sound), the MP4 is written with no audio stream at all.
Also exposed to the agent and MCP via setEditorSettings (recordingMuted).
Verified with openscreen export (CLI, same renderer + compositor path), checked with ffprobe on Windows, macOS (arm64) and Linux:
project
streams
440 Hz (recording)
880 Hz (music)
unmuted
video + audio
−18.2 dB
—
muted
video only
—
—
muted + music
video + audio
−62.6 dB (filter leak)
−27.1 dB
The results match on all three OSes. Typecheck (app + tests), lint, i18n check and the full unit suite all pass.
Note: the native pipelines always mux AAC, so the empty stream is removed afterwards in the renderer (mediabunny remux, video copied as is, the same way the voiceover mix works). A native "no audio" flag would avoid holding the file in memory on long exports.
A project setting silences the take's own sound in the preview and the
export. Added tracks (voiceover, music) keep playing; when nothing else is
audible the exported MP4 carries no audio stream at all.
Refs #1104
The change adds a persisted recording-mute setting, exposes it in audio controls and the AI editor-settings tool, and applies it to preview and native clip audio. Export paths detect silent output and remove its audio stream.
Changes: Recording Audio Mute

Summary
Setting, controls, and model access src/lib/ai-edition/store/editorSettings.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/editorSettings.test.ts, src/components/ai-edition/RightPanes.tsx, src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json, electron/ai-edition/editor-settings-tool.ts, electron/ai-edition/editor-settings-tool.test.ts, electron/ai-edition/deep-agent/service.ts
recordingMuted defaults to false and persists as a boolean. The audio pane can change or reset it. The AI editor-settings tool accepts and returns the setting, and locale files add its label.
Export code checks whether recording audio, audio tracks, or click sound produce audio. When output is silent, the export paths remove its audio stream; the CLI skips removal when a voiceover path was requested, and GIF exports skip the dialog check.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to b2445
Large silent exports can fail or crash after encoding, and a failed remux write can destroy the completed output. Address bounded-memory processing and safe file replacement before merging.

Avoid buffering the entire silent export.
For a large silent MP4, BufferTarget can exhaust renderer memory after native encoding completes. The export then fails or the renderer can crash. Use a bounded-memory remux or omit the audio stream in the native exporter.

Preserve the completed export during the remux write.
If the remux write fails after truncation, the completed MP4 can be lost. Write the remux to a separate file, then replace the destination only after the write succeeds. Preserve the original if replacement fails.
