Summary

Adds window placement to A capture listing a picker can draw, a follow-up from moq-dev/moq#8422: every listed window says which listed display it is on and its rectangle there. The studio's privacy shield (a lock drawn where an excluded window was) and its camera that avoids the foreground window both need it, and capture::Window has no position today.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed the complete planning patch at 6d52639 and the surrounding capture-list plan. No actionable findings.

Direction: placement is kept with the existing listing API plan, with display-relative pixel coordinates and move/resize notifications considered together. The index matches the expanded scope. Platform event mechanisms remain recommendations to validate during implementation, and the macOS permission-versus-polling decision remains explicitly unresolved.

Verification limits: GitHub-only document review. No capture implementation changes are present; no desktop, coordinate-conversion, or event-delivery tests run.

Reviewed changes

  • Placement goal — capture-list.md:11-12 makes every listed window name the display it is on and its rectangle there, in that display's pixels.
  • Settled decision — capture-list.md:54-61 records the maintainer's /quest-complete follow-up of #8422: plan placement, reject a full-screen flag and sound exclusion, and name the studio's shield and avoid-the-foreground camera as the consumers.
  • Placement recommendation — capture-list.md:115-119 treats a move or resize as a change like a retitle, coalesced during a drag, with each desktop's event source.
  • m3 index — quest/m3/README.md:184 now describes the listing's windows as placed on their displays.

The claims line up with #8422's Follow-ups, with capture-exclude.md leaving the lock drawing to the studio, and with the code: macOS already reads window.frame() in the listing and drops only the origin, and X11 windows() reads geometry without translating to the root.

A window can straddle two monitors, and the goal gives no rule for which display it then reports; "its rectangle there" likewise needs a stated answer for the part hanging over the second display. The shield this bullet exists for paints on one display, and the decision's full-screen test compares against "its display's", so both depend on that rule. Naming it here keeps the outcome checkable.

Suggested change
- **Placement:** every listed window says which listed display it is on and
its rectangle there, in that display's pixels.
- **Placement:** every listed window says which listed display it is on — the
one it overlaps most — and its rectangle there, in that display's pixels,
clipped to that display.

- **Placement.** A window moving or resizing is a change like a retitle, so
the watch's list stays current; coalesce a drag so it does not wake the
caller per frame. X11 has `ConfigureNotify`, Windows `EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE`,
and macOS reports bounds in each listing, with the same caveat as the
Waiting item for events.

Placement gets a Goal bullet and this recommendation, but no test in the Tests section, while every other Goal capability has one; the Xvfb window changes cover open, retitle, and close only, so a move that never wakes the watch would ship unnoticed. The Changes Goal bullet (lines 19-21) also still lists what wakes the watch without moves or resizes, which now reads as contradicting "a change like a retitle" here.

Add a placement case to the Xvfb bullet (move and resize a window, assert the watch wakes with the new rectangle) and to the by-hand desktop lists, and include a move in the Changes list.

Walkthrough

The quest overview and Plan now describe window placement on displays. The Goal specifies that each listed window identifies its display and gives its rectangle in that display’s pixels. The Plan states that full-screen status is derived from the window and display rectangles. It also documents movement and resize updates, coalescing during drags, and platform event mechanisms.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 6d526

This change only updates a design document, so nothing breaks at runtime. The placement requirement should be tightened before implementation to cover windows that span displays and to state compatible display units. Merging as-is is low risk, but the author should follow up on these two spec gaps.

Specify placement on every overlapping display.

When a window spans displays, the specified single association can leave the privacy shield and camera without its position on the other display. Require a rectangle for each overlapping display, or enough display topology to calculate it.

Specify compatible units for display dimensions.

On macOS, Display.width and Display.height currently use points. If the implementation keeps those dimensions without conversion, a full-screen comparison can fail on a 2× Retina display. Require matching units or an explicit conversion.
