@wonderlandlabs-pixi-ux/ticker-forest now has first-class support for scale-aware dirty tracking and counter-scale helpers.

What changed​

• Added dirtyOnScale to TickerForest config.
• Added getScale(): { x, y } and getInverseScale(): { x, y }.
• Standardized dirty triggering through dirty() so store updates are coalesced into ticker-frame resolve cycles.
• Scale observer now only triggers dirtying when isDirty() is currently false, and uses axis-aware distinctUntilChanged.

dirtyOnScale options​

dirtyOnScale: true enables defaults:

• watchX: true
• watchY: true
• epsilon: 0.0001

You can also pass an object with:

• watchX
• watchY
• epsilon

Why this matters​

This removes repeated per-package scale observer logic and centralizes it in TickerForest. Packages like window, grid, and resizer can now share one pattern:

1. Track container scale.
2. Mark dirty on meaningful scale deltas.
3. Re-render once on the next ticker frame.

For UI elements that should appear visually constant under zoom (for example titlebar content or handles), use getInverseScale() in resolve().

Titlebar pattern​

For titlebar rendering under zoom:

• width should follow the window width directly
• height should be multiplied by inverse y scale
• content can live in a sub-container scaled by inverse y
• mask height should use the same inverse-scaled titlebar height

This keeps the titlebar's perceived height stable while preserving alignment with the parent window.
