Sits to the right of the Built-in video pill, labelled "Test alert". It enqueues one synthetic
Super Chat through the real AlertOverlayLayer, so what plays is exactly what a viewer triggers —
the custom clip when one is set, the built-in clip otherwise — and it goes through the same
output path (preview and encoder) as a live alert. Local only: nothing reaches YouTube and no
chat row is invented.
Right-click in the live preview now procs a box that is actually visible and
populated with the zoomed region, and each Zoom View Shape sculpts the box per
spec. OBS-style derivative: magnifier box shows the composited region and dims
the surroundings (same pattern as OBS "zoom" / preview region highlights).
Root causes of the invisible box (two WPF traps, recorded in MyMistakes.md):
- Empty <VisualBrush Stretch="None"/> used as an OpacityMask paints nothing,
so the mask alpha is 0 and the WHOLE box (border included) went transparent.
- ZoomBox lived inside CanvasGrid while its VisualBrush sampled CanvasGrid — a
circular reference WPF renders as nothing. Hoisted ZoomBox to a sibling of
CanvasGrid inside a new PreviewCanvas wrapper (same 1920x1080 space).
Shape semantics (MainViewModel.ActivateZoom):
- Circle: square, click point = center.
- VerticalRectangle (phone): tall 9:16, click point = top-left corner.
- HorizontalRectangle (tablet): wide 16:9, click point = top-left corner.
- Boxes stay fully inside 1920x1080 via Math.Clamp.
UI: ZoomRectOutline/ZoomCircleOutline shapes replace the square Border;
circle clips the box to an EllipseGeometry; brush Visual released when inactive.
Zoom View Shape dropdown now uses the standard YtComboBox style.
Test (Good Dog rule, one integration test): ZoomBoxInteractionTests verifies
aspect/anchoring/clamp per shape and the matching outline+clip in the real
MainWindow. Full suite 404 passed, 0 warnings.
Memory: HANDOFF.md zoom state updated; WPF VisualBrush traps appended to
MyMistakes.md.
MainViewModel.Overlays.cs (194 lines) takes the settings/bug/feature/about
panels + creator-hub links: panel state (IsSettingsOpen/IsBugOpen/IsFeatureOpen/
IsAboutOpen via SetPanel, IsLicensesOpen, IsAnyOverlayOpen, OverlayTitle),
ShowOverlay/ShowLicenses, bug/feature report fields + SubmitBug/SubmitFeature/
ComposeEmail/OpenUrl, the About-hub consts (ChannelUrl/MastodonUrl/CoffeeUrl/
PremiumUrl/IsPremiumAvailable), SupportEmail/AppVersionLabel, LicensesText, and
the overlay command declarations (OpenSettingsCommand..OpenLicensesCommand).
Core drops 940 -> 758 lines. Ctor command assignments and all other wiring stay
in core; SetPanel/ShowOverlay keep their cross-partial calls.
This completes Phase 1: MainViewModel.cs has been split into 10 functional
partials (1,890 -> 758 lines in core).
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Docs: index.md Overlays row added, About-hub row re-pointed, tracker marked
Phase 1 complete in the same commit.
