Bug Fixes - Fixed an issue where the orange microphone indicator in the macOS menu bar would remain visible after stopping a recording with microphone capture enabled. The indicator previously only disappeared when quitting CatRecorder. The underlying AVCaptureSession is now properly torn down as soon as recording ends, immediately releasing the microphone hardware and clearing the system indicator.
