gramps 966e718f1e Zoom: fix preview zoom box + shape-aspect anchoring (Unit: zoom box visuals)
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.

# HANDOFF — 2026-10-07
## Branch
- main (no feature branch)
## Dirty files
- None (zoom box fix + test committed as a work unit this session).
## 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 `YtComboBox` style.
- 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 `PreviewCanvas` wrapper
(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.
