📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The startup flow now waits for the first dock page change and rendered window frame before closing the splash screen. MuseScoreGuiApp centralizes splash cleanup in closeSplash(), uses a 10000 ms fallback timer, and handles the no-dock-window path. The muse and muse_deps subproject references were updated. QML whitespace changed without functional behavior.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 24353

The startup flow now waits for content readiness before showing the window, but on slow startup paths the splash may still disappear before the first frame is rendered, briefly exposing an unready or blank window. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for this bounded risk.

Explanation

The startup changes address both linked issues by keeping the splash screen visible and showing the main window only after startup content has loaded, including the factory-reset and audio-plugin scanning scenario.

Tested #33596, third option from #32612 on Win10, Mac13.7.8, LinuxUbuntu26.04 LTS - FIXED

[DmitryArefiev]

Only minor issue left on macOS: the audio plugins scanning window is not centered

In `@src/app/internal/guiapp.cpp`:
- Line 156: Update the startup splash lifecycle around closeSplash() so the 1000
ms timeout cannot hide it before the first QQuickWindow::frameSwapped signal;
remove the timeout bypass or gate it behind an explicit startup-failure state.
Add a regression test that delays the first frame beyond 1000 ms and verifies
the splash remains visible until rendering occurs.
- Line 135: Update doStartupScenario() to explicitly handle a null
IDockWindowProvider or window() result: either provide the required startup
callback and schedule closeSplash() and setVisible(true) without a dock window,
or enforce and validate that every supported GUI context supplies a non-null
dock window.
