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.

What just happened
- Fixed the zoom box: right-click in live preview now procs the selected Zoom View Shape with correct anchoring and a visible, populated box (previously invisible — empty OpacityMask made the whole box transparent and the VisualBrush pointed at the CanvasGrid ancestor, a circular reference WPF renders as nothing).
- Zoom View Shape dropdown now uses the app's standard
YtComboBoxstyle. - One integration test added (Good Dog Rule):
ZoomBoxInteractionTests— circle is a centered square, phone is a tall 9:16 rect and tablet a wide 16:9 rect, both anchored top-left at the click, box stays inside 1920x1080 (clamp), and the UI shows the right outline/clip per shape. Full suite: 404 passed, 0 warnings.
Zoom feature state
- Models/ZoomState.cs + Models/ZoomShape.cs (Circle, VerticalRectangle, HorizontalRectangle)
- ViewModel: zoom box activation/move/dismiss; compositor output crops+scales the zoom region; dimming updates
- PreviewPane: zoom box is a sibling of CanvasGrid inside a new
PreviewCanvaswrapper (so the VisualBrush can sample CanvasGrid without a circular reference); shape-aware outline (ZoomRectOutline/ZoomCircleOutline) + ellipse clip for Circle - Shape semantics in
MainViewModel.ActivateZoom: Circle = click point is center, w=h=min(maxW,maxH); VerticalRectangle = 9:16 tall, HorizontalRectangle = 16:9 wide, both anchored top-left at the click; clamped to frame - Settings (OverlayHost) Zoom View Shape persisted via LayoutStore
Known issues / follow-ups
- Background toggle bug mentioned earlier: when clicking "Use default background" in layer properties, nothing happens. Need to investigate - binding exists (UseDefaultBackground), VM has handler that invalidates bake and updates. May need to look up Source background logic.
Next step
- User runs the app live/test to eyeball the zoom box visuals (border shows, region content visible, circle is round, phone/tablet anchored at the click point). Then background "Use default background" toggle if still needed. Otherwise stand down.
