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.
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.
