Stop Recording (`stop-recording.tsx`) +- **Mode**: no-view (executes immediately) +- **Action**: Stops the current recording +- **Deeplink**: Uses `stop_recording` action + +### 4. Toggle Pause (`toggle-pause.tsx`) +- **Mode**: no-view (executes immediately) +- **Action**: Pauses or resumes the current recording +- **Deeplink**: Uses `pause_recording` action +- **Note**: State management is handled by the Cap app + +### 5.
