Summary

The MCP and the in-app agent can now read and set the project's whole look.

  • setEditorSettings: a partial, strict patch named after EditorSettingsPatch, applied through applySettingsPatch like the editor does.
    • Covers background, wallpaper and its motion, background blur, padding, roundness, shadow, frame and theme, motion blur, depth of field, format fill, the "Original" formats, the whole webcam layout, every cursor setting (Glass Lens is a cursor theme), autoFocusAll and audioGainDb.
    • Mirrors the pane's side effects: a first fixed format fills the frame, an untouched camera roundness follows its shape, the camera framing is stored as size and pan.
    • Bounds from SETTING_BOUNDS, enums from the constant lists, wallpapers through parseStylePresetWallpaper: no file://, no URL.
  • getCurrentDocument gains settings, in the same shape (data-URL wallpapers elided), and settingsContext.
    • Context: formats on offer, formatFill, hasTiltedZoom, bundled wallpapers, cursor themes, cameraSegmentation.
    • inactive: each setting the editor hides in the current state, and why. A write reports the same for the keys it set.
  • setAspectRatio stays as an alias and now accepts the Original formats.
  • Camera segmentation is asked of the compositor (probeSegmentation) on both transports and in the in-app agent; null where nothing is wired.
  • Docs: tool descriptions, system prompt, mcp-server.md, ai-editing.md and its 7 translations, the openscreen-demo skill.

Not done here:

  • Style presets (listStylePresets / applyStylePreset): they need the main-process StylePresetService threaded into the pure executor; setEditorSettings already reaches every field a preset holds.
  • The workbench scenario out-of-scope-styling still treats the background and corners as unreachable. Its prompt needs rewriting, ideally once captions (batch B) land.

📝 Walkthrough

The AI editing agent can read project editor settings and apply validated settings updates. Reads return settings and context, including explanations for inactive settings. Camera-segmentation capability is passed through chat and MCP execution paths.

Changes: Editor settings tools

Layer / File(s) Summary
Settings validation, snapshots, and updates
electron/ai-edition/editor-settings-tool.ts, electron/ai-edition/editor-settings-tool.test.ts, src/lib/ai-edition/store/editorSettings.ts
Adds a partial settings schema, snapshot data, inactive-setting explanations, and an update executor. Tests cover settings updates, validation, aspect ratios, camera framing, and inactive settings. Exports panOfCropRegion for use by the settings implementation.
Agent tool registration and dispatch
electron/ai-edition/agent-tools.ts, electron/ai-edition/agent-tools.test.ts, electron/ai-edition/deep-agent/service.ts, electron/ai-edition/deep-agent/service.test.ts
Registers setEditorSettings as a mutating tool. setAspectRatio uses the settings executor, and getCurrentDocument includes settings and context. Updates tool descriptions and tool-call fixtures.
Camera-segmentation context propagation
electron/ai-edition/chat-service.ts, electron/ai-edition/deep-agent/service.ts, electron/mcp/openscreen-mcp-server.ts, electron/ipc/handlers.ts
Adds optional segmentation capability callbacks to chat and MCP execution paths. IPC supplies the callback through loudnessService.probeSegmentation().
Usage guidance and documentation
skills/openscreen-demo/SKILL.md, technical-documentation/architecture/mcp-server.md, website/docs/ai-editing.md, website/i18n/*/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/ai-editing.md
Documents the settings tools and updates the editing guidance and translated capability descriptions.

- Around line 375-387: Update the pan selection in the webcam crop settings
block so that when webcamCropRegion is provided, its framing determines the pan
via panOfCropRegion, even if webcamCropPan is also provided. Use webcamCropPan
only when no region is supplied, falling back to current.webcamCropPan when
neither is provided.

Comment thread electron/ai-edition/editor-settings-tool.ts
One tool writes the project's look through applySettingsPatch: background,
frame, format (Original shapes included), camera layout, cursor,
autoFocusAll and audioGainDb, with the pane's own side effects. Bounds come
from SETTING_BOUNDS and wallpapers from parseStylePresetWallpaper.
getCurrentDocument reads it back in the same shape, with the options on
offer and why each hidden setting is inert. setAspectRatio becomes an alias.
