Summary

After ⌘Q, the "backup done" notification no longer appears, though the backup runs. Tor's main.log has no quit timeout or failure after 2026-10-19, and encrypted .visionbak files were written on 2026-10-28. The launch notification ("Vision is running") still shows, so macOS permission is not the cause.

Cause (partly inference): on macOS, Electron removes the notifications a process delivered when that process exits. The quit path posts the backup notification and then exits (packaging/electron/main.ts, will-quit handler), so the notification can disappear before anyone sees it. Evidence that Electron does this:

• On Electron main, CocoaNotification::~CocoaNotification calls removeDeliveredNotificationsWithIdentifiers, and the presenter deletes its live notifications when it is destroyed.
• Unverified: that Electron 44.9.1 does the same, and that the 43 → 44 bump (chore(deps): bundle Dependabot JS and Electron 44 bumps #300, 2026-10-19) is when the notification stopped showing. The dates match, but I have not confirmed it in the 44 source.

Fix:

• notify() now returns the Notification it posts.
• New whenNotificationSeen() waits until the notification's show event plus 4 s, or 4 s if show never fires.
• app.exit waits for that after a backup-on-quit result. The runtime shutdown runs during the wait.
• The 45 s hard quit timeout still applies.

Type of change

• fix — bug fix

Checklist

• Types check (bun run typecheck:electron, bun run typecheck)
• Conventional Commit title
• No leftover debug code
• No docs change: the quit-time notification timing isn't documented.
• No i18n change

Architecture & data

• No architectural change
• No API change
• No schema change

Verification

• bun run typecheck:electron: clean.
• eslint -c eslint.projects.config.mjs packaging/electron/main.ts: clean.
• bun run test:electron: 213 tests, 211 pass, 0 fail.
• Not run on a Mac. Tor confirms by quitting with backup-on-quit enabled.

Residual risk & follow-ups

• When backup-on-quit runs and shutdown is fast, quit now takes up to about 4 s longer.
• The "Vision stopped" notification is still posted right before exit, so it probably still vanishes. Making it visible would add another wait on every quit, so this PR leaves it alone.
