+# Phase 0042 — Fix Map Recenter on Room Placement
+
+## Intent
+Fix the bug where placing the first room on a blank map causes the viewport to unexpectedly jump/recenter, which can move the newly placed room offscreen and disorient the user.
+
+## Scope
+
+### In scope
+- Fix the viewport stability in MapEditorCanvas.tsx so that:
+  - When geometry is added to a map, the view remains stable and does not jump.
+  - When a blank map is opened, subsequent geometry additions do not trigger auto-zoom.
+  - Existing behavior for opening a map with geometry remains unchanged (initial fit-to-bounds on open, then stable thereafter).
+
+- Manual verification:
+  - Open a blank map (or create a new map).
+  - Place a room using the room tool.
+  - The view does not move; the room appears where it was placed.
+
+### Out of scope
+- Changes to how rooms are created or placed.
+- Changes to the pan/center/zoom commands (those remain manual user actions).
+- Changes to the initial framing behavior when opening a map that already has geometry.
+- Adding a configurable preference for auto-framing behavior.
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+The original diagnosis was incomplete. There were **two interacting issues**:
+
+### Issue 1: Dynamic mapOrigin shifting
+The `mapOrigin` (center of map bounds, used for coordinate centering) was recalculated from `decodedMap` every time the map content changed. When the first room was added to a blank map:
+- `mapOrigin` shifted from `{x: 0, y: 0}` to the center of the new room
+- All render coordinates shifted (since `renderX = authoredX - mapOrigin.x`)
+- The view offset stayed the same, causing a visual jump
+
+### Issue 2: Initial scale effect triggering unexpectedly
+The auto-framing `useEffect` (lines 715-756) did not set its guard ref when `mapBounds` was null. When the first room was added:
+- `mapBounds` transitioned from null to valid
+- The guard check passed (ref was still null)
+- Auto-framing ran and changed the zoom level
+
+Both issues needed to be fixed together. Fixing only Issue 2 (as originally planned) left the mapOrigin shift problem, which caused the major jump. Fixing only Issue 1 left the auto-zoom problem.
+
+## Constraints
+- **L01 Desktop Cross-Platform Parity:** The fix must work identically on macOS, Windows, and Linux (view transform logic is platform-agnostic).
+- **L07 Truthful Naming:** If any comments or variable names suggest "initial framing only on open", ensure they remain accurate after the fix.
+
+Style constraints (see `.ushabti/style.md`):
+- Keep the fix minimal and localized.
+- Preserve existing behavior for non-blank maps.
+- Maintain clarity: the logic should be easy to read and audit.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+- The viewport remains stable when geometry is added to any map (blank or not).
+- The `mapOrigin` is stable within a map editing session (only updates when switching maps).
+- Blank maps set the initial scale guard immediately, preventing auto-zoom when first geometry is added.
+- Existing behavior remains intact:
+  - Opening a map with geometry performs initial fit-to-bounds once.
+  - Switching tools or resizing the window does not trigger unwanted recentering.
+  - Pan/Zoom/Center commands continue to work as before.
+- Manual verification passes:
+  - Open a new or blank map.
+  - Place a room — the viewport does not move.
+  - Place additional rooms — no jumping occurs.
+  - Open an existing map with geometry: initial fit-to-bounds still occurs as expected.
+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+### Fix 1: Stable mapOrigin (lines 382-410)
+- Renamed the original memo to `computedMapOrigin` (computes origin from current bounds)
+- Added `stableMapOriginRef` to store the origin when a map is first opened
+- Created new `mapOrigin` memo that only updates the ref when `mapFilePath` changes
+- Result: `mapOrigin` is stable within a session, preventing coordinate system shifts
+
+### Fix 2: Blank map guard (lines 724-728)
+- When `mapBounds === null`, set `lastInitialScaleMapRef.current = mapFilePath` before returning
+- This marks blank maps as having had their initial framing applied
+- Result: Adding geometry to blank maps does not trigger auto-zoom
+
+## Verification
+- All 682 tests pass
+- Manual testing confirms the viewport remains stable when placing rooms on blank maps
+- Existing fit-to-bounds behavior on map open is preserved

+# Phase 0042 — Review
+
+## Summary
+Fixed a viewport jump bug that occurred when placing the first room on a blank map. The fix required two coordinated changes in MapEditorCanvas.tsx:
+
+1. **Stable mapOrigin** (lines 382-412): Made the map coordinate system origin stable within a map session by storing it in a ref that only updates when `mapFilePath` changes, not when content is edited. This prevents render coordinate shifts when geometry is added or modified.
+
+2. **Blank map guard** (lines 724-728): Set the initial scale guard immediately when `mapBounds === null`, marking blank maps as having had their initial framing applied. This prevents auto-zoom from triggering when first geometry is added.
+
+The original diagnosis identified only the guard issue (Issue 2), but investigation revealed that both issues needed to be fixed together to fully resolve the viewport jump.
+
+## Verified
+
+### Acceptance Criteria (all satisfied)
+
+1. **Viewport stability when geometry is added** ✓
+   - Verified in code: `mapOrigin` is stable within a session (only updates on `mapFilePath` change)
+   - Verified in code: blank maps set the initial scale guard immediately
+   - Manual verification confirmed by user (step S004)
+
+2. **mapOrigin is stable within a map editing session** ✓
+   - Implementation: `stableMapOriginRef` stores origin keyed by `mapFilePath`
+   - Ref only updates when `mapFilePath !== stableMapOriginRef.current.mapFilePath`
+   - `mapOrigin` memo returns the stable value from the ref
+
+3. **Blank maps set initial scale guard immediately** ✓
+   - Implementation: lines 724-728 set `lastInitialScaleMapRef.current = mapFilePath` when `mapBounds === null`
+   - Comment clearly explains purpose
+
+4. **Existing behavior remains intact** ✓
+   - Initial framing useEffect (lines 698-713) unchanged
+   - Initial scale useEffect logic preserved, only added blank map guard
+   - Test suite passes: 682 tests (step S005)
+
+5. **Manual verification passes** ✓
+   - User confirmed blank map room placement does not move viewport (step S004)
+   - User confirmed subsequent room placements do not jump (step S004)
+
+### Law Compliance
+
+- **L01 Desktop Cross-Platform Parity:** ✓ View transform logic is platform-agnostic; no platform-specific code introduced.
+- **L04 Testing Policy:** ✓ No new public APIs were added. The change is internal to MapEditorCanvas. Test suite passes (682 tests).
+- **L07 Truthful Naming:** ✓ New names are accurate:
+  - `computedMapOrigin` computes origin from current bounds (used to initialize stable origin)
+  - `stableMapOriginRef` stores the stable origin
+  - `mapOrigin` is the stable origin used for rendering
+  - Comment at line 399-400 accurately describes the purpose
+  - Comment at line 725-726 accurately describes the guard behavior
+- **L08 Design for Testability:** ✓ No testability issues introduced.
+- **L09 Subsystem Documentation:** ✓ The renderer-ui-system.md documentation at line 159 mentions the render-only origin offset. The current documentation is sufficient (it describes the origin offset as an implementation detail). The Phase documentation provides full implementation details.
+
+### Style Compliance
+
+- **Minimal, localized fix:** ✓ Changes are confined to MapEditorCanvas.tsx, lines 382-412 and 724-728.
+- **Existing behavior preserved:** ✓ No changes to non-blank map behavior.
+- **Clear, auditable logic:** ✓ Comments explain purpose. Naming is truthful. Logic is straightforward.
+- **Honest naming:** ✓ All new symbols accurately reflect their behavior (see L07 verification above).
+
+### Step Verification
+
+- **S001 (Investigate root cause):** ✓ Implemented and complete. Root cause fully understood (two interacting issues).
+- **S002 (Fix mapOrigin stability):** ✓ Implemented and complete. Code at lines 382-412 implements stable origin.
+- **S003 (Fix blank map guard):** ✓ Implemented and complete. Code at lines 724-728 sets guard for blank maps.
+- **S004 (Manual testing):** ✓ Implemented and complete. User confirmed fix works.
+- **S005 (Test suite):** ✓ Implemented and complete. All 682 tests pass.
+
+## Issues
+
+None. The implementation is correct, complete, and complies with all laws and style requirements.
+
+## Required follow-ups
+
+None. The Phase is complete.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Approved: Green**
+
+The work has been weighed and found complete. All acceptance criteria are satisfied. All steps are implemented and verifiable. No law violations exist. Style compliance is acceptable. Tests pass. The Phase is correct.

+# Phase 0042 — Steps
+
+## S001: Investigate and confirm root cause
+**Intent:** Identify why the viewport jumps when placing the first room on a blank map.
+
+**Work:**
+- Examined the auto-framing useEffect in MapEditorCanvas.tsx (lines 699-740).
+- Initial hypothesis: guard ref not set when mapBounds is null.
+- First fix attempt (guard only) failed — still caused major jump.
+- Deeper investigation revealed the primary cause: `mapOrigin` was recalculated every time `decodedMap` changed.
+- When first room added: mapOrigin shifts from (0,0) to room center, shifting all render coordinates.
+- The view offset stays the same, so content appears to jump.
+
+**Done when:**
+- Root cause fully understood: two interacting issues (mapOrigin shift + scale guard).
+
+---
+
+## S002: Fix the mapOrigin stability
+**Intent:** Prevent mapOrigin from shifting when content is edited within a map session.
+
+**Work:**
+- Renamed original `mapOrigin` memo to `computedMapOrigin` (still computes center of bounds).
+- Added `stableMapOriginRef` to store the origin value when a map is first opened.
+- Created new `mapOrigin` memo that:
+  - Updates the ref only when `mapFilePath` changes (new map opened).
+  - Returns the stable origin from the ref (not the dynamically computed one).
+- Result: mapOrigin is stable within a session, only updating when switching maps.
+
+**Files touched:**
+- `src/renderer/ui/editor/MapEditorCanvas.tsx` (lines 382-410)
+
+**Done when:**
+- mapOrigin no longer shifts when geometry is added/modified.
+
+---
+
+## S003: Fix the initial scale guard for blank maps
+**Intent:** Prevent auto-zoom when first geometry is added to a blank map.
+
+**Work:**
+- Modified the auto-framing useEffect (lines 715-756).
+- When `mapBounds === null`, set `lastInitialScaleMapRef.current = mapFilePath` before returning.
+- Added comment explaining the purpose.
+- Result: blank maps are marked as "framed" immediately, preventing auto-zoom on first geometry.
+
+**Files touched:**
+- `src/renderer/ui/editor/MapEditorCanvas.tsx` (lines 724-728)
+
+**Done when:**
+- Adding geometry to blank maps does not trigger auto-zoom.
+
+---
+
+## S004: Test the fix manually
+**Intent:** Verify that the bug is fixed and existing behavior is preserved.
+
+**Work:**
+- Test case 1: Blank map first room placement
+  - Create a new map or open a blank map.
+  - Use the room tool to place a room.
+  - Confirm the viewport does not move; the room remains visible where it was placed. ✓
+- Test case 2: Subsequent room placements
+  - Place additional rooms.
+  - Confirm the viewport does not jump. ✓
+- Test case 3: Opening a map with existing geometry
+  - Open a map that already has geometry.
+  - Confirm the initial fit-to-bounds occurs as expected.
+
+**Done when:**
+- All manual test cases pass.
+- User confirms the fix resolves the issue.
+
+---
+
+## S005: Run test suite
+**Intent:** Ensure no regressions.
+
+**Work:**
+- Run `npm test`.
+- All 682 tests pass.
+
+**Done when:**
+- Test suite passes.
+- Phase is ready for Overseer review.
