Creator report: Ctrl+right in edit mode and left-click in preview did nothing when
neither streaming nor recording. The bindings were correct; the action was not.
Two causes, both in the model rather than the handler:
- ActivateZoom opened with `if (!(IsLive || IsRecording)) return;` — the box could not be
created outside a session at all.
- ToggleZoom only ever called DismissZoom, so "toggle" could turn it off and never on.
Now ToggleZoom(x, y) activates at the cursor or dismisses if already open, and the live-only
guard is gone — the magnifier is an editing aid as much as a live one. Both call sites pass
the canvas point, so the box still anchors on the click rather than the frame centre.
Debug 0 warnings; ZoomBox + ZoomMagnifier tests pass (3).
Creator corrected the "loupe" zoom on 2026-10-08: the click anchors a fixed
capture region (box/2 centred on the click) and the box is a live 2x view of
that region — dragging the box never changes its content; it magnifies the
fully-composited frame (every layer, incl. webcam) and draws LAST (n+1).
Rectangle shape is 4:3 ("more of a 640x480 aspect").
- MainViewModel.Zoom.cs rewritten: ActivateZoom anchors CaptureX/CaptureY
(independently clamped); UpdateZoomMove relocates the box only; the per-frame
BuildZoomFrame/ZoomFrameBuilder path is gone.
- SceneCompositor: skips the active ZoomSceneElement in every layer loop and
BlitZooms it last via the new pure ZoomMagnifier (2x bilinear, temp snapshot
via ArrayPool, round clip).
- Preview: ZoomBox hoisted above CanvasGrid as a sibling; its brush samples the
whole composed preview at the fixed capture (2x).
- Tests: ZoomMagnifierTests (box-over-blue shows green capture at 2x incl. an
extra red "layer" — the loupe/backdrop-only regressions both fail it) +
round-clip; ZoomBoxInteractionTests rewritten (anchored capture, move-doesn't-
change-capture, 4:3/9:16/square). 404 pass, 2 known environment flakes.
Right-click now creates a transient ZoomSceneElement at z-index 1 whose pixels are a
genuine 2x magnified sample of the backdrop (live capture under art), composited into
stream/recording like any layer while the output crop stays the tier. All shapes are
centered on the click and clamped to frame; healed on load/scene-create, never persisted,
hidden from the layers list + element template (IsZoomLayer). BuildCompositorOptions is
now internal = always tier crop (test seam). ZoomFrameBuilder is a pure static sampler
(box/2 window centered on the box center, single-slot cache) proven by a banded-backdrop
test; LayerReorderPersistenceTests drag resolves rows by item since the collapsed zoom
row shifts container indices. Also books TASK 51 (webcam background Remove + Blur) and
syncs memory docs (HANDOFF, MyMistakes, indexes). Full suite: 405 passed, 0 warnings.
