- **Seam-first:** everything above the WinRT layer speaks only `VideoFrame` (normalized tightly-packed
BGRA8) + `CameraDeviceInfo`/`ICameraEnumerator`/`ICameraFrameSource` interfaces. Tests inject fakes;
screen capture and background removal later feed the same seam.
- **CPU-first:** `MediaCaptureInitializationSettings { MemoryPreference = Cpu, StreamingCaptureMode = Video }`,
frames pulled via `CreateFrameReaderAsync(colorSource, MediaEncodingSubtypes.Bgra8)` — the pipeline does
any format conversion, so every `FrameArrived` yields a ready BGRA8 `SoftwareBitmap` (bytes read via
- **CPU-first:** `MediaCaptureInitializationSettings { MemoryPreference = Cpu, StreamingCaptureMode = Video,
SharingMode = SharedReadOnly }`, frames pulled via
`CreateFrameReaderAsync(colorSource, MediaEncodingSubtypes.Bgra8)` — the pipeline does any format
conversion, so every `FrameArrived` yields a ready BGRA8 `SoftwareBitmap` (bytes read via
`WindowsRuntimeMarshal.TryGetDataUnsafe`, not marshalled copies).
- **Source pick, not first hit:** the frame reader is bound to the first source that is `VideoPreview`
(preferred) or `VideoRecord`, not blindly the first preview source. If a camera exposes neither, the
failure names the device and the stream types it *does* expose. `SharedReadOnly` lets the capture
coexist with other apps that share the camera.
- **Known failure: NVIDIA Broadcast** — it opens the physical webcam exclusively, so `InitializeAsync`
fails with "camera in use" (or, if init slips through, the device exposes no preview source). Fix:
quit Broadcast while streaming, or pick its virtual "NVIDIA Broadcast" device from the picker and the
app captures the processed feed. This is a real-device finding (Logitech `VID_046D&PID_082D`).
- **TFM:** `net8.0-windows10.0.19041.0` (app + tests) pulls the WinRT projection from the SDK reference
packs — no NuGet package, no capability manifest (unpackaged desktop app works; the Windows privacy
camera toggle still applies). `EnableWindowsTargeting` keeps WSL builds working.
