Describe the bug
Stopping a native Windows screen recording always shows Timed out waiting for native Windows capture to stop and leaves a 0-byte MP4. The editor never opens.
This occurs with a screen-only recording: system audio, microphone, webcam, and cursor capture are all disabled.
Related to #34, but it still reproduces in v1.7.0-rc.2.
Expected behavior
After clicking Stop, the native helper should process the stop command, finalize the recording, emit recording-stopped, and open the editor.
To Reproduce
- On Windows 10, start a display recording.
- Disable system audio, microphone, webcam, and cursor capture.
- Wait a few seconds, then click Stop.
- Observe the timeout error and a 0-byte MP4.
Direct helper reproduction:
- Run the packaged
wgc-capture.exe with a display config for the real 1920x1080 panel, captureSystemAudio: false, captureMic: false, webcamEnabled: false, captureCursor: false, and preferSoftwareEncoder: true.
- It emits
ready, encoder-selection: software-preferred, and recording-started.
- Write
stop\n to stdin and close the pipe.
- The process still does not exit after 45 seconds, prints no
[stop-timing] line, and leaves a 0-byte MP4.

Additional context
Environment: OpenScreen 1.7.0-rc.2, Dell Inspiron 7472, Intel UHD 620 and NVIDIA MX150. Both graphics drivers were updated during investigation. The issue persists with the packaged helper run directly, so it is independent of the editor UI and normal recording options.
