CGPreflightScreenCaptureAccess() is unreliable on macOS 14+ for ad-hoc signed apps, often returning false even when permission is granted. When the ScreenCaptureKit probe returns an indeterminate (.unknown) result, the app was resetting its 'previously granted' evidence, causing repeated permission prompts on subsequent launches. Fix: - persistResolvedState: don't reset granted evidence on .unknown, only on definitive .denied - resolveState: when probe returns .unknown but persisted 'previouslyGranted' flag is true (or in-memory grant evidence exists), return .granted instead of .unknown This prevents transient probe failures from triggering repeated permission dialogs when the user has already granted screen recording access.
