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.

# HANDOFF — 2026-10-08 (zoom rework)
|
|
|
|
## Branch
|
|
- main (no feature branch)
|
|
|
|
## Dirty files (NOT mine — the in-flight "pinned chat" work unit; do NOT commit or co-edit)
|
|
- `Models/YouTube.cs`
|
|
- `ViewModels/MainViewModel.Chat.cs`
|
|
- `Controls/LeftPanel.xaml` (pinned-message UI)
|
|
- Untracked: `Helpers/RelayCommandGeneric.cs`
|
|
|
|
## What just happened (2026-10-08, second zoom pass — creator correction)
|
|
The zoom box shipped in `4b3d82f` was a **loupe** (box follows its own content, built from the
|
|
backdrop only, slotted at z-index 1). The creator corrected it; the model is now:
|
|
|
|
- **Anchored capture, not a loupe.** Right-clicking the live preview fixes a **capture window** —
|
|
the box/2 region centred on the click (`CaptureX/Y`, clamped to the master) — and parks a movable
|
|
**2x magnifier** box. The box is a **live, always-on 2x view of that captured region**; dragging the
|
|
box relocates it, **`UpdateZoomMove` never touches the capture** (creator ruling).
|
|
- **Content = every layer.** The zoom pass runs on the **already-composited frame** (backdrop + all
|
|
elements), so the magnified webcam/square/layers all show in the box. `SceneCompositor` skips the
|
|
active `ZoomSceneElement` in every layer loop and `BlitZoom`s it **LAST (layer n+1, on top of
|
|
everything)** via the pure static `ZoomMagnifier` (2x bilinear, 8.8 fixed-point, temp snapshot via
|
|
`ArrayPool` so a box overlapping its own source never recurses, optional round clip).
|
|
- **Rectangle = 4:3** ("more of a 640x480 aspect ratio"); Circle = square, Phone = 9:16 (kept).
|
|
|
|
Changes in this pass: new `Services/Compositor/ZoomMagnifier.cs`; `ZoomSceneElement`/`ZoomState`
|
|
gained `CaptureX`/`CaptureY`; `MainViewModel.Zoom.cs` rewritten (`BuildZoomFrame`/`ZoomFrameBuilder`
|
|
and the zoom-as-crop resolver case removed — no per-frame builder/cache anymore);
|
|
`PreviewPane.xaml`: `ZoomBox` hoisted OUT of `OverlayCanvas` to be a **sibling of `CanvasGrid`**
|
|
(renders above everything in the preview); `PreviewPane.xaml.cs` `UpdateZoomBox` samples `CanvasGrid`
|
|
(the whole composed preview) at the fixed capture, `Stretch=Fill`. `ZoomFrameBuilderTests.cs` deleted
|
|
(superseded); new `ZoomMagnifierTests.cs` (the "box over blue shows green capture, at 2x, all layers"
|
|
proof + round-clip); `ZoomBoxInteractionTests.cs` rewritten (per-shape 4:3/9:16/square + capture
|
|
anchor centred on the click + move-moves-only-the-box assertion + corner-clamp).
|
|
|
|
## Zoom feature state
|
|
- Models: `ZoomState.cs`, `ZoomShape.cs` (Circle/VerticalRectangle/HorizontalRectangle), `ZoomSceneElement.cs`.
|
|
- ViewModel (`MainViewModel.Zoom.cs`): `ActivateZoom`/`ToggleZoom`/`DismissZoom`/`StartZoomMove`/`UpdateZoomMove`/`EndZoomMove` + `RebuildDimRectsForZoom`; transient element healed/mirrored by `HealZoomLayers`/`EnsureZoomLayer`.
|
|
- Output: box composited last via `BlitZoom`/`ZoomMagnifier`; output crop = tier (box never the crop).
|
|
- Preview: `ZoomBox` = sibling above `CanvasGrid`, samples the full composite at the fixed capture, 2x; circle→ellipse clip, rect/square outline per shape; `LeftPanel` hides the placeholder row via `IsZoomLayer`.
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
- Full suite: **404 passed / 2 failed** (both = known pre-existing environment flakes, unrelated to
|
|
zoom): `AudioPipelineTests.Mix_HonorsProviderGains_AndGameMute_KillsTheLoopback` (audio timing)
|
|
and `LayerReorderPersistenceTests.RealMouseDrag_OnTheLayerList_PersistsTheReorder` (needs
|
|
interactive desktop). Zoom tests 3/3 green, 0 build warnings.
|
|
|
|
## Known issues / follow-ups
|
|
- **Background "Use default background" toggle still not working** (carried from 2026-10-07):
|
|
binding exists (`UseDefaultBackground`), VM handler invalidates bake; investigate when time permits.
|
|
- Preview shows editing chrome (dim rects, selection) inside the zoom box — accepted preview
|
|
artefact; the output only shows composed content.
|
|
|
|
## Next step
|
|
- User runs the app live to eyeball the corrected zoom: right-click preview → anchored capture stays
|
|
fixed while the box is dragged; the box shows ALL layers at 2x on top of everything; rectangle box
|
|
is 4:3. Then TASK 51 (webcam background Remove + Blur) per `TASKS/task-51-webcam-bg-effects.md`,
|
|
and the background-toggle investigation if still open. |
