"text": "Clear picture. Two problems:\n\n1. **No instance guard** — pythonw is silent, so double-clicking VBS spawns multiple processes. Only the first one binds port 47291; the rest run hotkey listeners but serve nothing. Multiple Print Screen triggers fire at once.\n2. **No visible feedback** that it's already running.\n\n**Love Gate — single-instance mutex fix**\n\n**What:** Add ~8 lines to `snaptext_v2.py` at startup — a Windows named mutex. If an instance is already running, the new one exits immediately and silently.\n\n**Minimum change:** One function `_acquire_mutex()` called at the top of `main()`. No other changes.\n\n**What could break:** Nothing. If it's the first instance, mutex is acquired and app runs normally. If it's a duplicate, it exits before doing anything.\n\n**Reversible:** Yes — single file, top of `main()` only.\n\n**Side benefit:** Kills the stacking problem permanently. First double-click launches. Every subsequent double-click does nothing.\n\n**Files read:** `snaptext_v2.py` ✓\n\n---\n\nReady for me to write code?"
