In the desktop preview, the annotation tools could not reach anything inside a same-origin iframe, such as a Storybook story canvas (iframe.html on the same origin). Reproduced on main cefb544af3 in the real desktop app (Linux, Electron under Xvfb) with a Storybook-like page on localhost:6006: with Select, hovering a story button outlined nothing, and clicking it went through to the page. The tool keys pressed while the frame had focus also went to the page. A Region drag stopped at the iframe edge, never finished, and became a text selection inside the frame. Nested same-origin frames failed the same way; opening iframe.html directly worked.
Change
The annotation preload runs only in the guest's top frame, so it now also covers every reachable same-origin frame (apps/desktop/src/preview/PickPreload.ts):
Input: the session's pointer, click, key, scroll, resize and blur listeners are attached to each same-origin frame window. A capturing load listener on each document re-attaches to frames that load or navigate during a session. Teardown removes all of them.
Hit testing: Select descends into same-origin frames. Cross-origin frames stay opaque, as before.
Coordinates: frame coordinates are mapped into the top viewport through each frame's border, padding and CSS scale (Storybook's zoom). Rects are clipped to each enclosing frame's viewport. Region computes one mapping per document.
Cross-frame checks:instanceof checks failed on nodes from another frame, so they are replaced with nodeType/localName checks. Computed styles use the element's own window.
Cursor: each frame gets the crosshair cursor style and the tool attribute.
Payload: elements picked inside a frame report that frame's URL and title.
Generated CSS:AnnotationStyles.generated.ts gains a .transform utility, because its generator scans the source for class names.
vp test run src/preview (apps/desktop): 22 files, 250 tests pass. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip and typecheck (desktop, scripts) pass. No new tests: PickPreload.ts is an Electron preload that needs real layout and cross-frame input, and apps/desktop has no browser test runner. Proof is from the real app, as below.
Real desktop app (Linux Electron 44.10.0 / Chromium 152 under Xvfb, window 1100×780, preview 1100×700, light theme, DPR 1), fixtures: a Storybook-like page with a sidebar and <iframe src="iframe.html">, the same page nested in another bordered frame, and a scale(0.5) zoom wrapper.

The Attach button's brief "Capturing…" state does not show in the 20 fps recording.
In multi-selection stills, some label chips overlap and hide parts of each other. That is how the overlay already draws adjacent labels.
macOS (the reporter's platform) was not run. The change is platform-independent DOM code in the preview preload.
No real Storybook build was run; the fixture page has the same structure as Storybook's manager and preview.
Claude Opus 5.5 (Claude Code) as issue lead and implementer, with Codex gpt-6.1-sol and Claude Opus 5.5 reviewers, in T3 Code.
The preview pick preload runs only in the guest's top frame, so on pages
that render content in a same-origin iframe (a Storybook canvas) Select,
Region, Draw, Erase, the tool keys and Escape never saw input over the
frame, and clicks fell through to the page.
The session now listens in every reachable same-origin frame (re-attaching
when a frame loads or navigates), converts frame event coordinates to the
top viewport, descends into frames when hit testing and when collecting
Region candidates, clips frame element rects by each enclosing frame, and
applies the crosshair cursor in frames. Element checks no longer rely on
instanceof, which fails across realms. Cross-origin frames keep selecting
the iframe element itself.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change enables annotation tools inside same-origin preview frames. An unresolved listener-cleanup concern describes a navigation race that can leave a frame non-interactive after annotation ends and needs resolution.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Annotation picking now reaches same-origin frame content. It maps pointer positions and element bounds into top-viewport coordinates, includes frame descendants in selection, and manages annotation listeners and cursor styles as frames load or disappear.
Changes: Same-origin iframe annotation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Frame coordinate mapping and hit testing apps/desktop/src/preview/PickPreload.ts
Frame points and rectangles are mapped into the top viewport and clipped to visible frame viewports. Point picking recurses into same-origin frame content.
Annotation interactions and element handling apps/desktop/src/preview/PickPreload.ts
Pointer tools, marquee selection, erasing, and submitted bounds use top-viewport coordinates. Element metadata and style inspection use the owning document and window.
Frame input and cursor lifecycle apps/desktop/src/preview/PickPreload.ts
Annotation listeners, active-tool state, and cursor styles are added to discovered frames and removed when frames disappear or the session ends.
Annotation picking now works in same-origin iframes. Two edge cases remain: an iframe can stay non-interactive after an annotation session ends if it navigated mid-session, and the submitted screenshot can include extra page content when a selected element is scrolled out of its frame. Neither blocks the main flow, but both are worth fixing.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
The active coding requirement in [#30117] is to select and comment on story elements inside a same-origin iframe, including Region selection. The reviewed changes in PickPreload.ts recursively hit-test same-origin frames, map and clip element bounds to the top viewport, and handle annotation input across those frames. The PR report also describes successful Select and Region behavior in the desktop app. The issue does not require a specific automated test addition.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes support annotation behavior required by [#30117]. Frame input listeners, hit testing, coordinate mapping, cross-realm DOM checks, cursor styling, and frame metadata all enable annotation within same-origin frames. The .transform utility is reported as generated styling support for that behavior. No unrelated change is identified. The generated file was excluded from review, but its contents are not needed to establish scope compliance.

Remove frame listeners from the window they were added to, not from root.defaultView at teardown time.
unlisten(frame) looks up the window through root.defaultView. That property returns null once the frame has navigated away from the stored document. When that happens, the early return skips every pointerdown, click, keydown and other window listener.
This leaks listeners in one specific case:
attachFrames runs while a same-origin iframe still shows its initial about:blank document. This happens when the session starts during iframe load.
listen adds the handlers to that frame's Window.
The iframe then navigates to its same-origin src. The HTML spec reuses the Window object for this navigation from the initial about:blank document.
teardown runs after the navigation commits but before load fires. The load event is what would re-key the map to the new document.
teardown then calls unlisten(oldDoc). oldDoc.defaultView is null, so the handlers stay on the live Window. The handlers do not check finished. As a result, onPointerDown and onClick keep calling preventDefault() inside the iframe after the session has ended. The iframe stays non-interactive until the page reloads.
The same lookup also runs in the stale-frame loop in attachFrames.
Fix: store the window when you attach the frame, and use the stored window for removal.
🐛 Proposed fix
- const frames = new Map<Document, HTMLStyleElement>();+ const frames = new Map<Document, { view: Window; style: HTMLStyleElement }>();
- function listen(root: Document): void {+ function listen(root: Document, view: Window | null = root.defaultView): void {
// A frame load stops at its document instead of reaching the window.
root.addEventListener("load", onLoad, { capture: true, passive: true });
- const view = root.defaultView;
if (!view) return;
- function unlisten(root: Document): void {+ function unlisten(root: Document, view: Window | null = root.defaultView): void {
root.removeEventListener("load", onLoad, true);
- const view = root.defaultView;
if (!view) return;
- for (const [frame, style] of frames) {+ for (const [frame, { view, style }] of frames) {
if (current.includes(frame)) continue;
- unlisten(frame);+ unlisten(frame, view);
style.remove();
frames.delete(frame);
}
for (const frame of current) {
- if (frames.has(frame) || !frame.defaultView || !frame.documentElement) continue;+ const view = frame.defaultView;+ if (frames.has(frame) || !view || !frame.documentElement) continue;
...
- listen(frame);- frames.set(frame, style);+ listen(frame, view);+ frames.set(frame, { view, style });
}
Make the same change in teardown: for (const [frame, { view, style }] of frames) { unlisten(frame, view); ... }. Also update refreshToolButtons so that it still iterates frames.keys().

Update frame tracking in attachFrames to retain each frame’s Window alongside
its style, and pass that stored Window to unlisten in the stale-frame cleanup
and teardown paths instead of re-reading root.defaultView. Keep
refreshToolButtons iterating the tracked Documents, and preserve the existing
listener setup behavior.

Handoff from the stopped issue-watch job for #30117. Nothing was pushed, and these results are from our separate prototype, not this PR's head.
Reproduced on corex, Linux Chromium in T3's Browser panel at 1280×800, using the actual annotation preload and react-grab with Electron IPC shimmed, against a Storybook-shaped same-origin iframe fixture. At main cefb544af3c98224874419198c0359b652ca3c94, Select showed no child outline/editor and the click reached the button. A Region drag selected iframe text instead of annotating it. This was a source-browser reproduction, not a native Electron or macOS pass.
Our prototype 5da6886ea64098db89d3c6b1c74271fe5630ec6a passed Select and Region across the child/top boundary without underlying clicks or text selection. Captured context had the child URL, selector html > body > #primary, styles and correct top-viewport bounds. Nested srcdoc selection, child reload rebinding and Erase also worked. Programmatic child scrolling moved the selected outline; native wheel scrolling was not verified. The screenshots and recordings below are from that prototype commit.
Additional cases found during our review, useful for the handoff:
Clip submitted child rects to every enclosing iframe so a scrolled-out element cannot crop unrelated toolbar pixels. Exclude fully empty rects from a multi-selection screenshot union.
Preserve visible SVG lines with zero width or height when clipping.
After a frame navigates cross-origin, removing listeners through its retained WindowProxy can throw SecurityError; cleanup must still finish. In prototype 2811516de98148e56504f0ce9f4e7b215f4fb004, a scrolled-out child returned an empty rect, and IPC cancel after cross-origin navigation removed all overlay nodes.
Tests: extracted baseline helpers produced three failing cases and one passing case. All six focused geometry/lifecycle cases pass at our last commit 03a8d97703e698f2305dfb25273ef1e948c2dc51. The initial prototype passed check:changed and desktop/web builds on Boat. The final check:changed run finished with six tests passing but failed typechecking on two nullable values in our own test additions; no final build ran after that failure. No retries or further work started after takeover. Native macOS, real Storybook and the actual Electron attachment crop remain unverified by this job; the Mac test was cancelled while still queued.

Environment for every capture: real Linux Electron desktop under headless-desktop; 1600×1000 window, 1600×920 browser viewport, light theme. Each commit was built in its own worktree with fresh isolated state and the same synthetic project. Storybook runs on localhost:6006; addons and the app sidebar are hidden.
Steps on both commits: open the story manager URL; Annotate → Select → hover and click the blue component → Attach if available. Repeat using Region and drag around the component. Repeat both tools for the green nested-frame component and amber component in a 75%-scaled nested frame. The same script drives both sides.
Region selects the component without selecting page text.
Nested frame fails.
Nested frame selects correctly.
Scaled frame fails.
Scaled frame selects correctly.
Base produced zero attachments across six attempts. Head produced six successful attachments, without page-text selection. The actual attachment results retain the story iframe, nested.html, and scaled.html URLs. Translated element bounds match the visible components: 260×110, 260×80, and 195×60 respectively.
