[omnidisc] push-to-talk status unavailable

Error message

[omnidisc] push-to-talk status unavailable

What it means

Logged by the PTT status refresher when `omnidisc_voice_ptt_status` fails. It sets pttRegistered to null, meaning 'unknown', so the UI should render an indeterminate push-to-talk binding state. Non-fatal.

Solutions

1. Check errorText(e) for the backend cause.
2. Ensure the voice/shortcut backend initializes before this status call (retry on ready).
3. Verify `omnidisc_voice_ptt_status` and the global-shortcut plugin are registered in Tauri.
4. Treat pttRegistered === null in the UI as 'unknown' and prompt the user to rebind.
5. On Wayland, expect global shortcut restrictions; document or fall back to in-app hotkeys.

Example fix

// before
} catch (e) {
  pttRegistered = null;
  console.warn("[omnidisc] push-to-talk status unavailable", errorText(e));
}
// after
} catch (e) {
  pttRegistered = null;
  console.warn("[omnidisc] push-to-talk status unavailable", errorText(e));
  onReady(() => refreshPttStatus()); // retry once the voice backend is initialized
}

if (!isTauri()) { pttRegistered = null; return; }

function isTauri(): boolean {
  return typeof window !== "undefined" && "__TAURI_INTERNALS__" in window;
}

try {
  const status = await invoke<{ binding: string; registered: boolean }>("omnidisc_voice_ptt_status");
  pttRegistered = status.binding ? status.registered : null;
} catch (e) {
  pttRegistered = null; // unknown; UI must handle null
  console.warn("[omnidisc] push-to-talk status unavailable", errorText(e));
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling the PTT status refresh when the backend command `omnidisc_voice_ptt_status` rejects: global-shortcut subsystem unavailable, voice backend not initialized, or command not registered.

Common situations: App startup before voice backend init; platform lacks global hotkey support (some Wayland setups); Tauri global-shortcut plugin not registered; browser dev mode.
