Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the CodeScanner view hidden while its containing sheet remains open, then compare that behavior with closing the sheet. Done means the camera is released when the scanner is hidden, either through existing behavior or a clearly defined library API; the issue does not name files or tests to inspect.

Description

bug

Closing the containing sheet does release the camera though.

The trick that works to re-initialise the camera on re-appearance (https://github.com/twostraws/CodeScanner/issues/120) does not help camera to disappear.

Is it something that can be done with or without library change? Maybe expose some method to disable the camera?
