 ## Purpose
 - Single macOS menu-bar app named **Clawdis** that:
   - Shows native notifications for Clawdis/warelay events.
-  - Owns TCC prompts (Notifications, Accessibility, Screen Recording).
+  - Owns TCC prompts (Notifications, Accessibility, Screen Recording, Automation/AppleScript, Microphone, Speech Recognition).
   - Brokers privileged actions (screen capture, shell with elevated UI context) via XPC.
   - Provides a tiny CLI (`clawdis-mac`) that talks to the app; Node/TS shells out to it.
 - Replace the separate notifier helper pattern (Oracle) with a built-in notifier.
