Implements ADR-008. native/input-helper is a self-contained .NET 9 console exe
speaking the identical JSON-over-stdin/stdout protocol as the old PowerShell
helper (ping/cursor/runtime/focus/click/scroll/bounds/capture), so the
InputHelperService interface is unchanged.
- Win32 interop compiled once (native exe), not per call.
- PerMonitorV2 DPI via manifest so click/capture coordinates stay correct on
mixed-DPI multi-monitor setups.
- capture returns base64 PNG bytes inline (imageBase64) instead of writing a
temp file per frame; the client handles both base64 and the PowerShell path.
- InputHelperClient prefers the exe and falls back to the embedded PowerShell
helper when the exe is absent, so the app still runs without the .NET build.
- main.ts resolves the exe (INPUT_HELPER_EXE env -> packaged resources/input-helper
-> native/input-helper/bin/publish). electron-builder ships it via extraResources.
- npm run helper:build; README documents the build + fallback.
Verified end-to-end through the compiled client: sidecar spawns, runtime info
and a base64 primary-screen capture return correctly. Build stays green.

Import the existing Electron + React + TypeScript app as the version-control
baseline before the scanner rework (C# input/capture sidecar, resolution-anchored
layout profiles, OCR preprocessing, eval harness, rescan-merge, GOOD interop).
Housekeeping in this commit:
- Remove orphaned temp_inputhelper_block.ts (duplicate of the input-helper script).
- Ignore .claude/scheduled_tasks.lock local session state.
- Add .gitattributes to normalize line endings (LF in repo).
