Cross-platform research (Grant) flagged that the colour-border cue differs by app;
checking the real brand colours against the detector found a concrete bug: the
global 0.5 saturation threshold MISSES Teams' violet ring (#6264A7 ≈ 0.41, light
variants ~0.27) entirely and Meet's lighter blue glow (#8ab4f8 ≈ 0.44). Those
adapters would have detected nothing.
- FrameSampler.saturatedPoints: add a tunable threshold + optional hue-band gate
(degrees) so a lowered threshold doesn't pick up warm video.
- GridCallAnalyzer.Config: colorSaturation / colorMinBrightness / colorHueRange,
plumbed to the colour-border path (defaults preserve prior behaviour).
- MeetAdapter sat→0.35 (catch the glow); TeamsAdapter sat→0.22 + hue 215–275°
(catch the faint violet, reject other colours); ZoomAdapter sat 0.45 + hue
40–150° (vivid green/yellow). Values are first-pass pending real-fixture
calibration; the hue gate is the main calibration lever.
Tests: Teams now detects the faint violet ring and rejects a green one; Meet/Zoom
vivid cases still pass. 27/27 XCTest.
Signal's active-speaker cue is a 3px #ffffff rounded border (saturation ≈ 0),
which the saturation-based highlight detector could never see. Per the
Signal-Desktop source review:
- FrameSampler.thinWhitePoints: grid-sample near-white pixels that sit on a
THIN structure (a non-white pixel within edgeGap on some axis) so a border/
ring counts but a solid white blob (face, bright video) does not.
- GridCallAnalyzer: combine coloured (saturated) + white (thin) highlight
pixels; exclude name-text regions so the white footer name can't be mistaken
for the border; estimate the tile UP from the name footer (nameAtBottom);
attribute each highlight pixel to exactly one tile by containment (nearest
centre as tiebreak) so a border can't bleed into an adjacent tile.
- SignalAdapter: white border on, coloured off, name-at-bottom geometry.
Synthetic 4-tile harness now isolates each speaker with no adjacent-tile bleed;
all 15 XCTest cases pass. Real-screenshot geometry calibration still pending.
