The ~30Hz CapturePreviewAsync PNG poll capped real cadence at ~20Hz
(35–165ms full-HD encode+decode), so a 60fps widget still juddered at ~1/6
speed. Replaced polling with frame-driven capture of the composition
controller's root visual — the mechanism WebView2CompositionControl and
Flutter's webview_windows use (graphics_context.cc captures the root
surface_ visual via CreateGraphicsCaptureItemFromVisual; reference:
github.com/microsoft/Windows.UI.Composition.WinUI / flutter-internal
webview_windows). Frames now arrive at the renderer's own pace; capture
memory is epoch'd ring reuse + one crop-sized shared WriteableBitmap.
New Services/WebCaptureFrameSource.cs owns GraphicsCaptureItem + free-
threaded Direct3D11CaptureFramePool + session (Straight alpha readback,
per-frame FindContentBounds → CropBounds). WebView2Manager reworked around
per-session composition controllers + one UI-thread Compositor created via
the CoreMessaging CreateDispatcherQueueController P/Invoke (the 19041
projection lacks CreateOnCurrentThread); internal seam ctor
(Dispatcher, Func<string,IScreenCaptureSource>?) for hermetic tests.
CaptureScheduler.cs deleted; the three SetCaptureInterval cadence hooks
removed; InitWebView2() moved from MainWindow ctor to Loaded (a parent
HWND must exist for the composition controller); the hidden WebViewHostPanel
overlay deleted. TransparentBackgroundScript unchanged.
Tests: WebView2ManagerTests reworked — 4 control-size + scheduler tests
dropped, FindContentBounds tests moved to WebCaptureFrameSource, ONE
integration test (Frames_PublishCroppedPreview_And_CoalesceToLatest_CarryingCropBounds)
drives the seam with a FakeWebSource + background-STA DispatcherPump.

Docs same-commit: ai.md Slice 14 + supersede marker on Slice 11, HANDOFF,
MyMistakes (CoreMessaging DQ + namespace-landmine recipe), TASK 17,
Controls/ViewModels/Services indexes.
Phase 2 (refactor-commit-12..18) created Controls/ with 6 UserControls that
split MainWindow.xaml, but no index.md existed — a gap against the schema.md
rule (one index.md per code directory). Documents each control, the window↔
control contract, and the Phase-2 landmines (window-resources converter rule,
control xmlns, name-looked-up host stubs, dropped-Border).
