UI/UX:
- New Themes/CocoaTheme.xaml: single source of truth for the palette,
  control styles, and vector icon geometries. All four windows
  (Main, Editor, Settings, History) now share consistent, professional
  chrome with a custom title bar and proper caption buttons.
- Emoji glyphs replaced with hand-drawn vector Path icons everywhere.
- Region selector gains snipping-tool UX: dimmed surround, caramel
  selection outline, live W x H size badge, and an instruction hint.
- Editor: zoom percentage indicator, keyboard tool shortcuts now move
  the active-tool highlight, themed text-label dialog with Enter/Esc.
- Settings: capture-history controls (toggle, retention, clear, open
  folder) and a View Logs button (Opus-Speaks C & D). Fixed the default
  file format combo silently never saving.
- About dialog reads the real assembly version instead of a hard-coded
  string.

Performance:
- All windows migrated off AllowsTransparency to WindowChrome
  (Opus-Speaks B). Layered windows forced software composition of the
  entire surface - the region selector paid this across every monitor
  on each capture.
- Removed every DropShadowEffect/BlurEffect (per-element software
  rendering).
- Pixelate tool no longer renders the full screenshot into a
  RenderTargetBitmap (~33 MB at 4K) with a CroppedBitmap per block;
  it now copies just the covered region once and block-averages in a
  single buffer.
- Frozen shared brushes for selection chrome; HighQuality bitmap
  scaling on the editor image to kill zoom-out shimmer artifacts.

Verified by rendering Editor/Settings/History windows through an
offscreen harness; service tests still pass (95/95).

Version bumped to 2.1.0.

 ## Architecture
 
+### Theme & rendering rules (CocoaTheme)
+
+All visual styling lives in `MoneyShot/Themes/CocoaTheme.xaml` (merged in `App.xaml`): the cocoa-brown palette, vector icon geometries, and every control style (`ToolButton`, `AccentButton`, `SubtleButton`, `TitleBarButton`, `ColorSwatch`, `CocoaCheckBox`, `CocoaComboBox`, `CocoaSlider`, etc.). Rules:
+
+- **Never reintroduce `AllowsTransparency="True"`** on a window. Layered windows are composed in software for the whole surface — this was the editor's main source of lag. Custom title bars are done with `WindowChrome` (`CaptionHeight=0`, `GlassFrameThickness="0,0,0,1"` to keep the DWM shadow/rounded corners) plus `DragMove()` in the title-bar handler.
+- **No `DropShadowEffect`/`BlurEffect`** — WPF bitmap effects force per-element software rendering. Depth comes from the palette (surface vs. window colors), not shadows.
+- New surfaces pick brushes from the theme (`Cocoa.*Brush`); don't inline hex colors in views. (`RegionSelector.xaml` is the deliberate exception — it's a self-contained full-screen overlay.)
+- Icons are `Geometry` resources (`Icon.*`) rendered through the `ToolIcon`/`ToolIconFilled`/`CaptionIcon` Path styles — not emoji, which render inconsistently via font fallback.
+- Code-behind looks styles up with `FindResource` (App-scoped), not `Resources[...]` (window-scoped).
+- The pixelate tool (`CanvasRenderer.CreatePixelatedBrush`) copies only the covered region's pixels once and block-averages in that buffer. Don't go back to rendering the full image into a `RenderTargetBitmap` — at 4K that allocated ~33 MB per pixelation plus a `CroppedBitmap` per block.
+
 ### Two windows + service layer (no DI, no MVVM framework)
 
 Services are instantiated directly in `MainWindow` (`MainWindow.xaml.cs:31-35`). There is no DI container and no MVVM library — XAML is wired with code-behind throughout. New services should be added the same way; don't introduce a container for one or two extra dependencies.

+    CocoaTheme.xaml — the single source of truth for Money Shot's visual identity.
+
+    Design rules (also documented in CLAUDE.md):
+      • Cocoa-brown dark palette. New surfaces pick from the brushes below — never inline hex.
+      • No DropShadowEffect / BlurEffect anywhere. WPF bitmap effects force expensive software
+        composition per element; the old per-button shadows were a measurable source of toolbar lag.
+      • All brushes are frozen (po:Freeze) so they can be shared across threads and skip
+        change-tracking overhead.
+      • Icons are vector Path geometries (20×20 design grid), not emoji — emoji glyphs render
+        inconsistently across Windows font fallback and read as unpolished.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] =?UTF-8?q?fix:=20security=20&=20code=20audit=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20repojacking=20fix,=20mutex=20crash,=20hardening?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Security:
- Auto-updater now targets the repository current name (Daolyap/Money-Shot).
  The old name only redirects until someone re-registers it, at which point
  they would own the update channel (repojacking).
- Optional GitHub token properly wired to MONEYSHOT_GITHUB_TOKEN (the 401
  guidance already referenced it; the read was a disabled empty-string stub).
- SaveService system-directory check compares with a trailing separator so
  C:\Windows blocks C:\Windows\... but not C:\WindowsBackup siblings.
- HistoryRetentionCount clamped to 0-500 during settings sanitization.

Bugs:
- Second app instance crashed on exit: OnExit called ReleaseMutex on the
  single-instance mutex it never owned (ApplicationException).
- Hotkey actions that throw no longer propagate out of the WndProc hook
  (process-fatal); they are caught and logged. Registration failures
  (combination owned by another app) are now logged instead of silent.
- Editor Save dialog now honours the configured default save folder and
  file format; previously both settings were ignored.
- IsPointInElement used hand-rolled NaN guards instead of CanvasPosition
  (forbidden by the resize/drag design rules).

Improvements:
- MemoryTrimmer service shared by both editor-close paths; opening a
  capture from History now gets the same working-set trim as the capture
  flow (previously left ~hundreds of MB resident).
- JPEG saves use QualityLevel 90 (default 75 smears screenshot text).
- Logger includes full exception + stack trace at Error level.
- Dead SetupToolbar() removed; App.xaml.cs unused usings dropped.
- 14 new regression tests (SaveService path validation, retention clamp);
  109/109 passing.

Audit follow-ups recorded in Opus-Speaks.md: region-selector DPI accuracy
at >100% scaling (E2), auto-update vs per-machine installs (E3).

 If a release lacks `SHA256SUMS.txt` (older releases), the update is allowed through with a logged warning rather than refused. New releases generated by `release.yml` always include it.
 
-The optional GitHub token read at line 50 is intentionally `Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("")` — i.e. disabled. If you wire one up, do it through a real env-var name and treat it as a secret.
+An optional GitHub token is read from the `MONEYSHOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable (higher API rate limit). Treat it as a secret — never log it.
+
+**The repo/owner constants must track the repository's current name** (`Daolyap/Money-Shot` since the rename). GitHub redirects an old repo name only until someone re-registers it — at which point they own the update channel (repojacking). Update the constants immediately on any rename.

+## E2. Region selector is only pixel-accurate at 100 % display scaling
+
+Found during the 2026-06 security/code audit. The app manifest declares `PerMonitorV2` DPI awareness, but `RegionSelector` sets its window `Width`/`Height` (DIPs) directly from physical pixel bounds and maps mouse DIP positions 1:1 onto frozen-bitmap pixel coordinates. At 100 % scaling DIP == pixel and everything lines up; at 125 %/150 % (or mixed-DPI multi-monitor) the window oversizes and crops drift.
+
+> Fixing this properly needs one selector window per monitor (each in its own DPI context) or explicit `CompositionTarget.TransformToDevice` math when converting selection rects to bitmap pixels. The mixed-DPI virtual-screen mapping is nonlinear — don't try to patch it with a single global scale factor.
+
+## E3. Auto-update can't swap a per-machine install
+
+`StageAndPrepareUpdateAsync` writes the swap script to user temp and runs it unelevated. For per-user installs that's fine, but the MSI installs to `C:\Program Files\Money Shot\` (per-machine), where `move /Y` will fail with access denied and the update silently doesn't apply (script exits 1, nothing re-launches).
+
+> Either: detect a Program Files install and direct the user to download the MSI instead of self-swapping; or run the script elevated (UAC prompt) via `UseShellExecute = true` + `Verb = "runas"`. Decide deliberately — silent elevation prompts from a background updater are hostile UX.

 ## F. Migrate to `Microsoft.Extensions.Logging` if a real DI need ever appears
 
 The current `Logger` static facade closes the "no Release-build output" gap, but it doesn't enable structured logging, log levels controlled by config, or per-namespace filtering. If the project ever takes on a complexity that justifies DI (multiple loggers, multiple sinks, `ILogger<T>` for testability), the right move is the originally-proposed migration from this document — replace `Logger` with `Microsoft.Extensions.Logging` + a logger factory in `App.xaml.cs`, then take constructor-injected `ILogger<T>` in each service.
