2026-08-02	Move gsr-cli to tools/gsr-cli	dec05eba

2026-08-02	Document the ipc option next to the signals in the readme	dec05eba
	The remote control section is now split into a signals part and an ipc part with gsr-cli examples, and it points at the gsr-cli man page and the IPC section of the gpu-screen-recorder man page.
2026-08-02	Add gsr-cli program that sends ipc commands to gpu-screen-recorder	dec05eba
	gsr-cli sends a command to the ipc socket of a running GPU Screen Recorder and exits with 0 when it replied with ok, printing the reason to stderr when it didn't, which means the commands don't have to be sent blindly like signals are. The status command checks if GPU Screen Recorder is running by connecting to the socket without sending a command, so it's also correct when a killed instance left the socket behind. The json helpers moved into src/json.c to be shared between the two programs.
2026-08-02	Only remove the ipc socket path when an unused socket exists there	dec05eba
	The socket that a killed GPU Screen Recorder instance leaves behind is removed so that the same ipc socket path can be used again, but this was done for any type of file, so using the path of a regular file as the ipc socket path deleted that file.
2026-08-02	Add -ipc option to control gpu-screen-recorder over a unix domain socket	dec05eba
	The socket accepts the same commands as the signal handlers, except that saving a replay takes an arbitrary number of seconds instead of only the fixed times that the signals provide. Requests and replies are newline terminated json objects and every request is replied to, parsed with the sj.h json library that was added to external. Requests are handled on a thread that only runs while the recorder exists, so the recorder control fields are now atomics, which they have to be now that another thread writes them.
2026-08-02	Remove unused parameter from recorder_update_fps_counters	dec05eba

2026-08-02	Fix indentation and spacing of the code moved out of main.cpp	dec05eba

2026-08-02	Add resource cleanup on all paths	dec05eba
	The recorder, screenshot and cli now free everything they create, also when setup fails. Adds gsr_windowing_deinit, implements the missing gsr_window_destroy and destroys the pipewire registry proxy.
2026-08-01	Fix video size becoming 0x0 when every capture source size is a percentage	dec05eba
	The video size is the area that the capture sources cover, but a capture source with a percentage size is relative to the video size and can't be used to calculate it. When there is no other capture source to calculate the video size from, use the size of the capture sources themselves.
2026-08-01	Remove unused includes	dec05eba
	Most were left over from moving code out of main.cpp and from replacing fprintf with gsr_log. Also fixes building without the app_audio option.
2026-08-01	Split the recorder setup and record loop into named functions	dec05eba

2026-08-01	Return errors from gsr_recorder_create instead of exiting	dec05eba
	The recorder now cleans up after a failed setup and the caller decides what to do with the error, so only main and forked child processes exit.
2026-08-01	Rewrite main.cpp in C as a thin CLI on top of a new gsr_recorder library API	dec05eba
	The recording setup, record loop and teardown moved into a gsr_recorder pseudo class that reports saved recordings through callbacks, so the CLI only parses arguments, handles signals and prints results. The project is now built as pure C.
