+## Iteration that just failed (`b862a0f` — reverted to f39ebd9's scrollWidth/Height crop)
+Creator still saw a massive "ghost" frame around the visible widget. Root cause: for widgets
+whose body/background spans the full 1920×1080 canvas, `scrollWidth/scrollHeight` returns the
+WHOLE viewport → the crop keeps massive transparent margins → dead space inside the bitmap →
+content floats inside the Fill-stretched box. So the earlier "nailed right/bottom" (f39ebd9) was
+only right for box-sized viewports: at the canvas size, scroll extents == viewport for full-canvas
+wrappers. Lesson: never trust scrollWidth/scrollHeight at canvas-size render; measure visible
+content and exclude full-viewport wrappers/backgrounds.
