Add permissions and notification readiness to the Mac setup checklist #1

Closed

Description

@codepilotios

Setup path

Mac menu bar > Setup CodePilot... and Mac menu bar > Remote Desktop....

Friction

The main setup checklist currently covers Codex CLI/login, account profiles, gateway token, gateway health, and Cloudflare. It does not show Screen Recording, Accessibility, or APNs notification readiness, even though those are required for Remote Desktop viewing/control and reliable turn-finished notifications. Users have to discover those checks in separate docs or the Remote Desktop window.

Expected

Add optional-but-visible setup rows for:

  • Screen Recording permission.
  • Accessibility permission.
  • Notification/APNs configuration.

Each row should use the same Ready/Missing/Optional vocabulary as the rest of setup and link to the relevant recovery action.

Audit note

Docs were updated to mention Remote Desktop permissions, but the app checklist still lacks these rows.

    Triage update (2026-07-01): code inspection confirms the setup checklist does not yet include Screen Recording, Accessibility, or notification/APNs readiness rows. Labeled severity: low; no fix opened in this pass.
