Issue

Setting a scene background previously required adding an image to the canvas, manually resizing it, and positioning it behind other elements. This was frustrating and made backgrounds easy to accidentally select, move, or reorder.

Solution

Added a dedicated Background button to the authoring toolbar. It opens a modal that allows users to:

  • Use a solid colour or an uploaded image
  • Upload a new image or select an existing one
  • Choose Cover, Contain, or Fill image fitting
  • Preview the background with the current scene before applying it
  • Remove the current background

Backgrounds are stored at the scene level and rendered consistently in the editor, scene thumbnails, and scenario player. Uploaded-image reference counting is maintained when backgrounds are added, replaced, duplicated, or removed.

Risk

  • Existing scenes without a background must continue to use the default canvas colour.
  • Older image-background data must remain compatible with the updated background model.
  • Incorrect file reference counting could cause uploaded images to be retained or orphaned unexpectedly.
  • Large background images may affect loading and rendering performance.
  • Background rendering changes could introduce visual differences between the editor, thumbnails, and player.

Checklist

  • Acceptance criteria met
  • Wiki documentation is written and up to date
  • Unit tests written and passing
  • Integration tests written and passing
  • Continuous integration build passing

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added scene backgrounds with solid colors or uploaded images.
    • Added background editing controls, image upload, preview, fit options, and removal.
    • Backgrounds now appear on the authoring canvas, thumbnails, navigation previews, and play view.
    • Added validation for supported background configurations and image uploads.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Preserved image file references when scenes are created, duplicated, updated, or deleted.
    • Invalid background updates are rejected without changing saved scenes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Scenes now support validated color and image backgrounds. The backend stores backgrounds and tracks image references. The authoring UI can upload and configure backgrounds. Authoring thumbnails, canvases, navigation results, and playback render the configured background.

Changes

Scene background support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend background contract and persistence
backend/src/db/models/scene.js, backend/src/db/daos/sceneDao.js, backend/src/routes/api/scene.js, backend/src/routes/api/navigate/*, backend/src/routes/api/__tests__/sceneApi.test.js, backend/src/db/daos/__tests__/sceneDao.test.js
The backend validates color and image backgrounds, accepts them during scene creation and patching, preserves them during duplication, includes them in scene projections, and updates image file-reference counts. Tests cover valid updates and rejected payloads.
Frontend background model and rendering
frontend/src/features/authoring/types.ts, frontend/src/features/authoring/stores/visual.ts, frontend/src/features/authoring/elements/Background.tsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/canvas/Canvas.tsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/components/Thumbnail.jsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/SceneNavigator/*, frontend/src/features/playScenario/PlayScenarioCanvas.jsx, frontend/src/context/SceneContextProvider.jsx, frontend/src/index.css
The frontend adds background types and visual state. Background renders color and image backgrounds on canvases, thumbnails, and playback. Scene metadata patches and navigation data include backgrounds.
Background authoring workflow
frontend/src/features/authoring/imageFiles.ts, frontend/src/features/authoring/images.tsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/topbar/BackgroundMenu.tsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/topbar/Topbar.tsx
The authoring UI loads and uploads scenario images, configures color or image backgrounds, selects image fit modes, previews changes, removes backgrounds, and opens the editor from the top bar.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 11d96

Background configuration can retain an unused uploaded file reference when a scene uses a solid color, which may prevent cleanup or leave stale storage references. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

In `@backend/src/db/daos/sceneDao.js`:
- Around line 377-383: The scene update in the PATCH flow and
applyReferenceDeltas() must execute atomically within one retried database
transaction using the same session. Refactor the relevant scene write path
around addBackgroundPatchFileRefDeltas so each transaction attempt re-reads the
current scene background before calculating file-reference deltas, then updates
the scene and applies the deltas together; preserve retry behavior for
transaction conflicts.
- Around line 377-383: Update the bulk background patch flow around
addBackgroundPatchFileRefDeltas and patchScene to validate the complete
background subdocument, including kind, color, and image payload requirements,
by enabling update validators or explicitly validating the assembled value. Make
the scene update and file-reference count changes atomic, using a transaction or
compare-and-update so concurrent patches cannot apply deltas from stale
backgrounds, and add PATCH coverage for validation failures and concurrency-safe
reference updates.

In `@backend/src/db/models/scene.js`:
- Around line 13-37: The scene schema must reject fields that conflict with the
background kind: enforce that image-only fields fileId and href are absent for
color backgrounds, and that the color-only field color is absent for image
backgrounds, while preserving their existing conditional requirements. Update
backgroundFileId() to return the file ID only when kind is "image"; otherwise
return no file reference.

In `@frontend/src/features/authoring/topbar/Topbar.tsx`:
- Around line 52-54: Replace the non-focusable Background anchor in the topbar
with a semantic button using type="button", retain the existing
setShowBackgroundMenu(true) click behavior, and preserve the menu styling.

19-22: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Stop the replica set even if disconnect() fails.

mongoServer.stop() runs only after mongoose.disconnect() resolves. If disconnect() rejects, or if MongoMemoryReplSet.create() failed in beforeAll, the mongod processes stay alive and mongoServer can be undefined. A replica set starts more processes than the previous standalone server, so the leak is larger.

♻️ Proposed teardown
   afterAll(async () => {
-    await mongoose.disconnect();
-    await mongoServer.stop();
+    try {
+      await mongoose.disconnect();
+    } finally {
+      await mongoServer?.stop();
+    }
   }, 30000);

functionally great 👍 im approving so that we dont get stuck on this pr for too long.

Im going to make another ticket tho and assign it to you based on improving the UI of the menu itself. It doesn't fit well with the rest of the app in terms of sizing, layout etc, the color picker should be using the package we're using, the placement of the toolbar option should be on the right in the "scene content" section.
