Pick by what you're recording: workspace recording → workspace-  caption; whole-screen / other-apps (KiCad, browser) recording → desktop overlay.-  Covers both, the desktop-overlay args (text, id, position top/center/bottom/corners,-  normalized x/y, size/fontSize, duration, action: hide|force-clear) and the id rule-  (same id replaces, different ids coexist).

Distinct from:-> - **toasts** — corner pop-ups via `POST /ui/toast` (transient notifications, see->   `hd-notifications`); a caption is centered narration, a toast is a corner alert.-> - **TTS** *audio* narration (`adom-tts`) — pair a caption with TTS for a narrated walkthrough.-> - the **native Win32 auth-overlay caption** — a separate internal surface HD draws for->   login/auth flows; not something you trigger for demos. The two surfaces below are the->   ones you drive.--## Two caption surfaces — pick by WHAT you're recording--HD has **two** caption surfaces. Choosing the right one is the key decision, because-each is captured by a *different* kind of recording:--| Surface | Command | Renders | Captured by | Use when |-|---|---|---|---|---|-| **Workspace caption** | `adom-cli hydrogen caption` | **inside the HD workspace** (webview overlay, web-Hydrogen style) | a recording/screenshot of the **HD window** (panel/workspace) | the demo is **inside HD** — captioning the workspace itself |-| **Desktop overlay** | `adom-desktop desktop_caption` | **over the WHOLE desktop**, above every window (Win32) | a **full-screen / desktop** recording (native `recording --share screen`, AD desktop) | the demo shows **other apps** (KiCad, Fusion, a browser) or the whole screen |--**Match the caption to the recording.** A native `screenshot panel` / workspace-Element-Capture sees the **webview** content, so it captures the **workspace** caption-but NOT the desktop overlay (a separate OS window). A full-**screen** recording-captures the **desktop overlay** (it's screen pixels). Pick wrong and your caption-won't be in the video.--> Quick rule: "caption the Hydrogen workspace" → `adom-cli hydrogen caption`;-> "caption over the whole screen / while I record KiCad / a corner status label" →-> `adom-desktop desktop_caption` (the only one with corners, ids, and x/y).--## (1) Workspace caption — `adom-cli hydrogen caption` ⭐ THE DEFAULT--**Reach for this FIRST.** It's the *same* command on web Hydrogen and HD (adom-cli-routes through HD's workspace-events server → SSE → the frontend `captionStore`), so it-stays consistent across both — John's principle, same as screenshots. Renders centered-**inside the HD workspace webview**. `show` takes the TEXT as a **positional arg** (NOT-`--text`); the only flags are `-d`/`--duration`, `-p`/`--position`, `-s`/`--size` (no-`id`, `x`/`y`, or `fontSize` — those are desktop-overlay-only). Subcommands: `show` / `hide`.--```bash-adom-cli hydrogen caption show "Step 1: open the board" -p center -s large     # 30s auto-expire-adom-cli hydrogen caption show "Step 2: run DRC" -d 60 -p center -s large       # hold 60 SECONDS-adom-cli hydrogen caption hide                                                  # clear now-```--### ⚠️⚠️ `-d` / `duration` is in **SECONDS — NOT milliseconds** ⚠️⚠️-THE gotcha. `-d 30` = 30 seconds. `-d 4000` = **66 MINUTES**, not 4 seconds. (This bit-the build thread — `-d 4000` left a caption stuck on screen for over an hour.) If you're-thinking in ms you're off by **1000×**. You almost never need a big number — the 30s-default already covers "leave it up while I do a thing." (Note: the *desktop overlay* in-§2 uses **milliseconds** — the two surfaces differ; don't cross the units.)--> **Web-Hydrogen vs HD parity (checked live 2026-06-14):** the **command + the SECONDS-> unit + `hide` are identical** on both (verified by firing `adom-cli hydrogen caption` in-> a cloud web-Hydrogen workspace — center/large rendered, `-d 20` held visibly). BUT the-> sane **lifecycle below (30s default / 300s cap / persist) is verified on HD v0.1.34+**;-> web Hydrogen still returns the *older terse `_hint`* ("auto-hides after the specified-> duration") and may not enforce the 30s-default/300s-cap yet. **So on web Hydrogen, don't-> assume a fat `-d` self-heals — pass a sane duration.** (Web-Hydrogen backend sync is a-> Colby/carbon item.)--### Lifecycle (HD v0.1.34+, verified live 2026-06-14 — sane, never abandoned)-- **No `-d` (or `-d 0`) → auto-expires after 30s.** The right default — you do NOT need-  to `hide` it.-- **Positive `-d <seconds>` → holds that many seconds, HARD-CAPPED at 300s (5 min).** A-  larger value still clears at 5 min, so a fat-fingered `-d 4000` now self-heals.-- **Newest wins:** showing another caption replaces the current one; `hide` clears immediately.-- **No "forever" via adom-cli** — its `-d` is an unsigned int (rejects negatives) by-  design. This is a **feature, not a gap**: adom-cli is the same binary on web-Hydrogen and-  HD, so "no persist via adom-cli" keeps both consistent and bounded (no abandoned-  captions). A persist-until-hidden escape exists ONLY on the raw HTTP endpoint-  (`{"duration":-1}`, below) — rarely needed.-- **No `caption status` verb (yet).** There's no way to query "is a caption up / how long-  left" from adom-cli — and with newest-wins + the 30s auto-expire you rarely need to. (A-  read-only `caption status` is a possible future verb, not a current one.)-- `-p` position: `top` / `center` / `bottom` (NO corners — use the desktop overlay for-  those). `-s` size: `small` / `medium` / `large`.-- Needs a live workspace/editor session (the server returns 409 if none).--### Direct HTTP fallback — only for scripts already hitting HD's API-adom-cli is the consistent default; use HTTP **only** when a script talks to HD's API-directly. It's the **same caption, same lifecycle** — adom-cli just wraps this path with-the workspace owner/repo. The caption lives on the **workspace-events server**-(`ADOM_HYDROGEN_URL`, the proxy) — **NOT the control port**:--```bash-# show — duration in SECONDS, identical body/lifecycle to adom-cli-curl -s -X POST "$ADOM_HYDROGEN_URL/api/workspaces/editor/<owner>/<repo>/current/caption" \-  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \-  -d '{"text":"Step 1: open the board","duration":60,"position":"center","size":"large"}'-# hide-curl -s -X POST "$ADOM_HYDROGEN_URL/api/workspaces/editor/<owner>/<repo>/current/caption" \-  -d '{"hide":true}'-# persist until hidden (HTTP-ONLY escape — adom-cli can't send a negative):-#   -d '{"text":"Recording…","duration":-1}'-```-Body: `{text, duration (SECONDS), position, size}`; clear with `{hide:true}`. Returns the-same `_hint` as adom-cli (verified live).--## (2) Desktop overlay caption — `adom-desktop desktop_caption`--HD's built-in **Win32 always-on-top, click-through overlay** — floats over every-window, doesn't steal focus or intercept clicks (the user works "through" it). The-full-featured surface (ids, corners, x/y, force-clear). **Windows-only** (non-Windows-no-ops).--## Firing a caption--Source: `src-tauri/crates/hd-app/src/caption.rs` (`handle_caption`). The AD CLI verb is-**`desktop_caption`** (the internal message type is `caption`; `adom-desktop status`-lists the `caption` capability). Plain `adom-desktop caption` is NOT a verb — it errors.--```bash-adom-desktop desktop_caption '{"text":"Step 3: approve the UAC dialog →","position":"center","size":"large","duration":6000}'-```--### Arguments--| Arg | Type | Meaning |-|---|---|---|-| `text` | string | The caption text. Omit (with no `action`) to hide. |-| `id` | string | Caption identity. **Same id → replaces** that caption; **different ids → coexist.** Defaults to `_default`. |-| `position` | string | `top`, `bottom` (default), `center`, `top-left`, `top-right`, `bottom-left`, `bottom-right`. |-| `x` / `y` | float | **Normalized 0.0–1.0** screen coordinates (clamped). Use for precise placement instead of a named `position`. |-| `size` | string | `large` / `medium` (default) / `small`. |-| `fontSize` | int | Explicit pixel font height (also accepts `font_size`). Overrides `size`. |-| `duration` | int | **Milliseconds** on screen (default 4000), then a short fade-out. ⚠️ **NOTE: this surface is ms — the OPPOSITE of the §1 workspace caption, whose `-d` is SECONDS.** `4000` here = 4s; `4000` there = 66 min. |-| `action` | string | `hide` (dismiss this id, or all if id empty) or `force-clear` (destroy **all** captions regardless of id). |--### The id rule (this is the powerful part)--Captions are keyed by `id`. **Reuse an id to update a caption in place**; **use-different ids to show several at once.** That lets you run, e.g., a persistent-status caption in a corner *and* a moving center callout simultaneously:--```bash-# persistent status in the corner-adom-desktop desktop_caption '{"id":"status","text":"Recording…","position":"top-right","size":"small","duration":60000}'--# step callouts in the center, each replacing the last (same id)-adom-desktop desktop_caption '{"id":"step","text":"Step 1: open the board","position":"center","duration":4000}'-adom-desktop desktop_caption '{"id":"step","text":"Step 2: run DRC","position":"center","duration":4000}'--# clear just the step callout-adom-desktop desktop_caption '{"id":"step","action":"hide"}'--# nuke everything-adom-desktop desktop_caption '{"action":"force-clear"}'-```--## Patterns--- **Walkthrough / demo callouts** — drop a `center` caption per step (same `id` so-  each replaces the last). Combine with a recording (see Related skills) so the-  callouts end up in the finished video. Pair with TTS for narration.-- **Status corner** — a long-`duration` small caption in a corner (`top-right`),-  separate `id`, while you drive the rest of the screen.-- **Point at a thing** — use normalized `x`/`y` to sit a label next to a button or-  dialog you're about to act on.-- **Cleanup** — `action:"hide"` per id when a step is done; `action:"force-clear"`-  to wipe the screen of all captions at the end of a tour.--## Related skills-- [hd-recording](../hd-recording/SKILL.md) — captions are captured *into* screen recordings; record a walkthrough with live callouts-- [hd-adom-desktop](../hd-adom-desktop/SKILL.md) — AD carries the `caption` / `desktop_caption` verb to the host; verify the `caption` capability via `adom-desktop status`-- `adom-tts` — *audio* narration to pair with on-screen captions (captions are visual-only)
