AI Overlay for Proctortrack on Mac

Proctortrack is Verificient's proctoring product, used heavily in US higher education. It runs as a Chrome or Firefox extension paired with a "Proctortrack Setup" macOS app that performs the initial system check and biometric capture.

Proctortrack's setup app verifies your identity, captures a baseline of your environment, then closes; the actual exam runs through the browser extension. The extension uses Chrome's screen-capture API, which Apple wires to ScreenCaptureKit on Mac. Any window the OS has marked with the privacy flag is missing from frames returned to the extension. The behavior-analysis layer (eye tracking, audio for second voices, multiple-face detection) all reads from the webcam and microphone, never from the screen, so the overlay does not perturb those signals.
