The creator (2026-10-30): the brand-logo field in App Settings showed only a file NAME, so a
myopic user could not confirm which picture was set. Now a 28x28 thumbnail sits left of the
field showing the actual image, and hovering it opens an enlarged copy (up to 420x320) beside
the panel with the file name underneath. A click collapses it; moving the pointer away closes
it, unless the pointer walked onto the popup itself, where it stays so the creator can look
closely.
Mechanics:
- `MainViewModel.BrandLogoPreviewImage` decodes the stored asset ONCE and freezes it, so the
thumbnail and the enlargement share one bitmap and no dispatcher hop is needed. A corrupt
image returns null instead of taking the dialog down.
- The thumbnail is hidden when no image is set (NotNullToVis), so there is nothing to hover and
no empty frame can appear.
- The popup is a separate window: WPF refuses to open one until its placement target is in a
live visual tree, which is why the test hosts the control in a real window rather than
asserting on a detached control.
Guard: BrandLogoPreviewTests — the wiring (image binding, the no-image gate, the four gesture
handlers, the readable enlargement size) and the control's open/close behaviour.
OverlayHost.xaml(.cs) takes the window-root overlay dialog grid (settings/
bug/feature/about panels); BackToAbout_Click moved in via inherited DataContext.
WebViewHostPanel + ToastArea stay as thin window-root stubs so the WebView2 ctor
init and NotificationService InArea('ToastArea') name lookups are untouched.
This completes Phase 2: MainWindow.xaml is now a 123-line shell.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
