gramps c01206fb8a feat: web sources frame-captured via composition (CoreWebView2CompositionController → Windows.Graphics.Capture); PNG poll + CaptureScheduler deleted
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.
Suite 293/293, 0 warnings.

NOTE: composition path NOT yet verified on a device — the take is the
next step. Web work committed locally only (no push per standing rule).

# Controls — index
The phase-2 carved pieces of what used to be one monolithic `MainWindow.xaml`
(1,681 lines → a 123-line shell). Each is a `UserControl` in the `ytLive.Controls`
namespace, extracted one roll-back commit at a time (refactor-commit-12..18).
See [`schema.md`](../schema.md) for the memory-map conventions.
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `BottomBar.xaml(.cs)` | Footer (Row 3): gear menu (stop/mic/game-mute/quality dropdown), stream stats (bitrate/fps/dropped/duration/health), resolution dropdown |
| `HealthBanner.xaml(.cs)` | Row 1 status banner + the 7 value→visibility converters live in the app theme, not here |
| `TopBar.xaml(.cs)` | Row 0 stream controls: REC/ON-AIR pills+signs, elapsed timer, start/stop, account avatar/name (`RefreshAvatar()`) |
| `PreviewPane.xaml(.cs)` | Row 1 Col 1 center: the 1920×1080 `OverlayCanvas`/`SelectionOverlay`/`BrandFlashLayer`/`SocialBarElement`, text pull-out drawer, and the live-controls row (TRAX / game / mic meters + sliders + speakers + socials) |
| `SceneThumbnailStrip.xaml(.cs)` | Row 0 scene-picker strip (`ItemsControl` over `Scenes`), staged-red / live-green border highlight |
| `LeftPanel.xaml(.cs)` | Row 1 Col 0 left panel: edit mode → layers+properties; live → YouTube chat. Source add/edit/remove, list drag-to-reorder, snapshot revert-accept |
| `OverlayHost.xaml(.cs)` | Root-grid overlay dialogs: Settings / Report Bug / Feature Request / About (+ licenses + license-key entry). `BackToAbout_Click` lives here |
| `SceneThumbnailStrip.xaml.cs` | Code-behind for the strip above |
| `LeftPanel.xaml.cs` | Code-behind for the panel above |
## Window ↔ control contract
The shell (`MainWindow.xaml(.cs)`) wires up each control and routes the few
cross-cutting calls through it:
- Ctor finds each control by `x:Name` (`TopBar`, `PreviewPane`, `LeftPanel`)
AFTER `InitializeComponent`, **before** any method touches it (null-ref guard).
- `_previewPane.IsClickInsidePreview/Drawer` + `_leftPanel.IsClickInside` →
deselection guard in `Window_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown`.
- `_previewPane.UpdateSelectionOverlay(bool)` + `_leftPanel.OnSelectionChanged(vm)`
→ selection/edit-mode routing from the VM's `SelectedElement` change.
- `_topBar.RefreshAvatar()` on `IsConnected`/`AccountAvatarUrl` change.
- Handlers in moved controls cast `(DataContext as MainViewModel)` — controls
inherit the window's DataContext; never pass the VM through a property.
## Gotchas learned the hard way
- **A UserControl cannot see `Window.Resources`** (StaticResource resolves by
element lookup, so it stops at the control boundary). The 7 converters
(`BoolToVis`, `InverseBoolToVis`, `NotNullToVis`, `NullToVis`, `HiddenBoolToVis`,
`EnumToBool`, `AllTrueToVis`) were promoted from `MainWindow.Resources` into
`Themes/Controls.xaml` (see [`Themes/index.md`](../Themes/index.md)).
- **Moved XAML can lose its namespace**: a block cut from MainWindow carries no
root xmlns, so any `models:`/`Helpers:` ref in it breaks the build with
`MC2000: Value cannot be null (key)`. Declare `xmlns:models` / `xmlns:Helpers`
on each control's root (LeftPanel hit this).
- **Name-looked-up host stubs must stay in the window**, not a control:
`WebViewHostPanel` (ctor `InitWebView2(WebViewHostPanel)`) and `ToastArea`
(`NotificationService.InArea("ToastArea")`) are resolved by name from the
window root — so `OverlayHost` deliberately leaves them as thin window-root
children (Commit 18). Since the 2026-09-14 composition-capture redesign only
`ToastArea` remains — `WebViewHostPanel` is deleted (web sources no longer
host a multiline XAML control; `InitWebView2()` runs from `MainWindow_Loaded`
with no panel argument).
- When cutting visual wrappers, don't drop the outer `Border`'s
background/glow/margin — Commit 15 initially lost the preview's outer border
and had to restore it same-commit.

controls bind to), [`Themes/index.md`](../Themes/index.md) (styles/converters),

`MainWindow.xaml` shell at repo root that hosts these.
