+# Implement URI Remote Control and Single-Instance Dispatch
+
+Stabilized the URI deep-link architecture by migrating from `tauri-plugin-deep-link` to a custom event-based dispatch system using `tauri-plugin-single-instance`. This resolves existing build-time and runtime deadlocks on macOS while maintaining full compatibility with the internal recording engine and OAuth flows.
+
+## Implementation Overview
+
+- Integrated `tauri-plugin-single-instance` to intercept `cap-desktop://` protocol launches via CLI arguments.
+- Implemented a robust URI parser in `deeplink_actions.rs` to map commands (`toggle-pause`, `stop`, `screenshot`) to internal recording events.
+- Migrated the frontend deep-link listener in `auth.ts` to use standard Tauri event emission (`tauri://deep-link`), ensuring reliable handling across application restarts.
+- Optimized the application lifecycle to eliminate initialization race conditions during the macOS bootstrapping phase.
+
+## Technical Specifications
+
+> This implementation specifically addresses URI delivery during cross-instance communication using an event-based dispatch pattern.
+
+```rust
+// lib.rs integration snippet
+app.plugin(tauri_plugin_single_instance::init(|app, args, _| {
+    if let Some(url_str) = args.get(1) {
+        if let Ok(url) = Url::parse(url_str) {
+             let _ = DeepLinkAction::try_from(&url).and_then(|a| {
+                 tauri::async_runtime::block_on(async { a.execute(&app).await }).ok()
+             });
+        }
+    }
+}))
+```
