Summary

Tilted zooms no longer roll the footage, and they now carry the flat path's motion blur. Audit finding #11.

Roll

  • iso, left, right carried −2°/−1°/+1° of roll. It entered with every zoom and swept 2° between chained left→right. All presets now hold Z = 0.
  • The fixed angles now draw through the exact projective warp (as the follow-cursor camera and device frames already did). The bilinear warp tilted the screen's vertical centre line by itself (−2.9° under the new iso), which is roll by another name.

New angles (product decision to confirm)

  • Without roll, the 2° edge rule leaves two pitch bands: ≤ 9° or ≥ 15°. Between 10° and 14° the top edge of a turned screen reads level at any yaw, which is where the old iso (12°) sat.
  • left/right: [−6.5, ∓17, 0] (was [−8, ∓16, ∓1]), nearly the same look.
  • iso: [−23, −25, 0] (was [−12, −18, −2]). Clearly "angled from above", contain scale 0.73 (was 0.82).
  • The dynamic budget shared by parallax and click impact follows what left allows: ±1.2° X, ±1.8° Y (was ±1.9°/±3°). Click impact is 1.2° (was 1.9°): a corner click moves the plane 13–17 px instead of 24–27 px. a_corner_click_moves_the_plane_visibly_at_a_frozen_scale floor lowered from 15 to 12 px accordingly; every other rule test (no_preset_has_an_axis_aligned_edge, budget sweep, chained sweep, budget tightness, containment) is unchanged and passes.

Motion blur

  • Mode 8 gets the flat path's blur: the plane one screen frame earlier (zoom box, base rotation, camera weight) rides in three new LayerCB slots (128 → 176 bytes). The shader inverts the previous quad per pixel and averages taps samples along the one-frame path, scaled by the same strength as mode 0.
  • Parallax, click impact and camera aim are not trailed, like the focus in mode 0.

Testing

  • cargo test -p openscreen-compositor --lib: 324 passed (Windows).
  • D3D11 render tests with synthetic sources: click_impact_render, tilt_parallax_render, tilted_depth_of_field, window_frame_render, privacy_blur_under_zoom, device_frame_render, cursor_model_render, follow_camera_render: all pass. click_impact_render probe columns and edge moved to the new iso silhouette (the clicked right edge barely moves at mid-height now; the left one does).
  • naga validates layer.wgsl and blur.wgsl.
  • npx tsc --noEmit, npx tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit: clean. npm run lint: no errors.
  • Not verified locally: compositor_macos.rs, compositor_linux.rs, shaders.metal do not build on this machine. The Metal and WGSL changes mirror the HLSL line for line; the macOS and Linux CI jobs are their only check. The editor preview was not driven by hand (the CLI export uses the same compositor).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compositor tracks previous-frame tilted-screen geometry and passes it to mode 8 for motion-blur sampling. Privacy masks cover content from current and previous planes when a trail differs from the current quad. Fixed-angle tilted screens use projective warping. Fixed rotation presets and dynamic tilt limits change.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to cec49

The previously outdated effect documentation has been updated. No concrete outstanding issue was established that prevents merging after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cec49

The privacy mask expands to cover tilted motion trails, but its masking strength may be too weak when the previous frame was more magnified. That could affect sensitive footage during a transition; disclosure has not been demonstrated.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Privacy-mask strength is based on the current tilted pose even when the new trail samples a more magnified previous pose. Endpoint coverage alone may not preserve masking strength through zoom-out or camera transitions.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The plausible exposure is sensitive screen content in a rendered preview or export using a privacy annotation and tilted motion blur. The inspected change does not establish a network, credential, or cross-tenant boundary change.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A project containing sensitive screen content, a privacy mask, and a magnification or camera transition could render prior-pose samples with masking strength selected for the current pose. Whether this makes content readable is unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The compositor constructs prior-frame geometry, passes it to the shader, and expands the privacy annotation over current and prior positions. This counters an uncovered-endpoint trail, but does not by itself establish adequate masking strength throughout the transition.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The added render regression checks for visible red pixels during selected trail frames. It is Windows-only, requires an external media fixture, and does not measure readability beneath the mask.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bound mask strength against both current and prior projected magnification, and verify masked text remains unreadable during zoom-out and camera-to-fixed-angle transitions on the supported render paths.

The new tilted motion-blur path can expose pixels that a privacy annotation hides. I reproduced this with the production Windows D3D11 compositor: a red marker at source x/y 0.55–0.70, a white mosaic mask over that rectangle, an iso 2× zoom from 2–4 s focused at (0.3, 0.3), and motion blur set to 1. At 1.1 s, 418 red pixels remain outside the mask and match the unmasked render. The same input on current main, and this head with motion blur disabled, leave zero exposed red pixels.

The mode-8 sampling trail needs matching privacy coverage before this is safe to merge. The existing privacy render test uses zero motion blur during the zoom hold, so it does not exercise this regression.

Confirmed and fixed in 127b0ee. Your case reproduced exactly: 418 red px outside the mask at 1.1 s.

Cause: not the sampling itself but the mask geometry. Mode 8 smears each pixel toward where the plane was one frame earlier, and privacy_mask only covered the secret's current tilted quad. The flat path already covered both frames (union of the current and previous rects).

Fix: FrameGeometry::privacy_mask now does the same for the tilted path. When a trail exists and the plane moved, the mask is the upright bounding box of the secret at both frames (current quad and the previous quad, same warp as the shader). It is shared geometry, so D3D11, Metal and WGSL all get it; no shader change was needed.

Measured (D3D11, your scene: marker 0.55–0.70, white mosaic, zoom 2x at (0.3, 0.3) from 2–4 s, motion blur 1), red px left visible:

iso flat
t = 1.1 s 418 → 0 0
t = 1.3 s 14 → 0 0
t = 1.6 s, 4.3 s 0 0

Pinned by a_privacy_mask_covers_the_motion_blur_trail_of_a_zoom in tests/privacy_blur_under_zoom.rs, which asserts zero on both the tilted and flat paths. The existing hold test still reads 0 everywhere.

Fixed angles settled, in cec4973: Left and Right, steep and roll-free, with the full ±1.9° / ±3° dynamic budget back.

  • Left = [−23, −25, 0], the old iso look. Right = its mirror, [−23, 25, 0].
  • iso is no longer offered. A stored iso reads as Left: the document schema maps it on every load, readRotation3DPreset does the same for legacy projects, and the compositor too. It is gone from the picker, the label map and all 15 locales. Left and Right now read "turned left/right and seen from above".
  • Click impact is back to 1.9°, and the 15 px corner-click floor is restored.
  • The budget-tightness test is re-derived: the 1.15× combined sweep breaks, and Y alone still breaks.
  • The modelled cursor's shadow box now bounds its penumbra by the shader's real walk: under Right the light grazes the plane and the shadow overran its box.
  • docs/3d-effects-v2.md is updated.

Measured on a CLI export (1080p60, motion blur 1, clicks during each hold):

Left Right
Max roll, zoom-in and hold 0.056° 0.023°
Screen share at mid-hold 93.5% 91.7%
Click edge shift 41 px 105 px

A stored iso renders pixel-identical to Left (max difference 0).

Checks: cargo test -p openscreen-compositor --lib 326 passed; both tsc configs clean; i18n:check passed; targeted vitest 281 passed; biome clean on the changed files.

The fixed 3D angles carried -2/-1/+1 degrees of roll. It entered with every
zoom and swept 2 degrees between chained angles. They now hold Z = 0 and are
drawn with the exact projective warp, so the screen's vertical centre line
stays vertical through the ramp; the bilinear warp tilted it on its own.

Without roll, the 2-degree edge rule leaves two pitch bands. Left and right
pitch 6.5 degrees, iso 23 degrees. The dynamic budget shared by the parallax
and the click impact follows left/right: +-1.2 X, +-1.8 Y (was 1.9/3).

The tilted path (mode 8) now gets the flat path's motion blur. The plane one
frame earlier (zoom box, base rotation, camera weight) rides in three new
LayerCB slots, and the shader blurs along each pixel's one-frame path, with
the same taps and strength as mode 0.
…camera

- privacy_mask: with a mode-8 trail, cover the secret at both frames (upright
  bounding box), as the flat path already did. The trail leaked 418 red px
  at 1.1 s of an iso 2x ramp with motion blur 1; now 0.
- camera_prev comes from the previous frame's own camera state, so a
  follow-cursor to fixed-angle handover trails from the previous camera view
  instead of an upright plane.
- docs: roll-free preset values, projective warp, mode-8 motion blur.
The maintainer picked the steep look for the fixed angles: Left [-23, -25, 0]
(the old iso look) and its mirror Right [-23, 25, 0], zero roll. Both sit in
the high pitch band, so the dynamic budget is back to +-1.9 X / +-3 Y and the
click impact to 1.9 degrees.

iso is no longer offered. A stored iso reads as left at the document schema
(every load parses through it) and in the legacy reader
(readRotation3DPreset); the compositor also maps it. The picker, the label map
and the 15 locales drop iso; Left and Right read "turned left/right and seen
from above".

Tests: the budget-tightness test is re-derived for the combined sweep (Y alone
stays tight), and the 15 px corner-click floor is back. The modelled cursor's
box bounds its penumbra by the shader's real walk: under Right the
camera-fixed light grazes the plane (lz 0.2) and the shadow overran the box.
