Two deprecated CoreGraphics APIs are broken on macOS 26: 1. CGPreflightScreenCaptureAccess() returns false even when Screen Recording permission is granted. Fall back to a 1x1 probe capture. 2. CGImage(windowListFromArrayScreenBounds:windowArray:imageOption:) returns nil for all inputs. Fall back to CGWindowListCreateImage (Clawd's own sprite may appear in screenshots as a trade-off). Also adds -disable-availability-checking to Package.swift since both APIs are marked obsoleted in the macOS 15+ SDK but still function at runtime. Tested on macOS 26.3.1 (25D771280a).

Summary
Two deprecated CoreGraphics APIs are broken on macOS 26, silently breaking screen capture:
CGPreflightScreenCaptureAccess()returnsfalseeven when Screen Recording is granted (TCCauth_value=2). This causesmakeRandomComment()to bail on every cycle sinceScreenContext.hasPermissionis a guard. Fix: fall back to a 1×1CGWindowListCreateImageprobe.CGImage(windowListFromArrayScreenBounds:windowArray:imageOption:)returnsnilfor all inputs. This breaks the filtered capture (used to exclude Clawd's own windows from screenshots). Fix: fall back toCGWindowListCreateImage— Clawd's sprite may appear in screenshots as a minor trade-off.Also adds
-disable-availability-checkingtoPackage.swiftsince both APIs are marked obsoleted in the macOS 15+ SDK headers but still function at runtime.Test plan
