Fix mobile touch controls and improve zoom buttons in social media cropper

[simonw]

• Add "Move Image" / "Move Crop" toggle buttons so users can explicitly
  switch between dragging the image and dragging the crop rectangle
  (fixes the main mobile usability issue where you couldn't switch modes)
• Disable Cropper.js built-in touch zoom (zoomOnTouch: false) and wheel
  zoom, replacing with a custom pinch-zoom handler that only activates
  on two-finger gestures, so single-touch drag works reliably for moving
• Implement press-and-hold continuous zoom on the +/- buttons with
  acceleration (fires once on tap, then repeats faster on sustained hold)
• Restyle zoom buttons as larger circular targets (52px / 56px on mobile)
  with proper touch-action, tap-highlight suppression, and press feedback
• Move zoom percentage display between the +/- buttons for cleaner layout

Code Review: Mobile Touch Controls and Zoom Button Improvements

I've completed a comprehensive review of the mobile touch controls improvements in social-media-cropper.html. Overall, this is a well-implemented solution that addresses real mobile usability issues with thoughtful UX improvements.

✅ Code Quality and Best Practices

Strengths:

• Clean separation of concerns: Drag mode management, zoom controls, and pinch-zoom handling are well-modularized
• Responsive design: Proper mobile-specific styles with @media queries for larger touch targets (52px → 56px on mobile)
• Accessibility: Good aria-labels, proper touch-action, and tap-highlight suppression
• Progressive enhancement: Features gracefully degrade if touch events aren't supported

Areas for improvement:

• Consider extracting magic numbers into constants (zoom increments, acceleration timing, button sizes)
• The setupContinuousButton function is quite complex - could benefit from breaking into smaller functions

⚠️ Potential Bugs and Issues

Minor issues identified:

1. Race condition potential (social-media-cropper.html:498-502): The timeout-based zoom restoration after aspect ratio change could fail if user interacts during the delay
2. Memory cleanup: Touch event listeners in installPinchZoom() aren't cleaned up if cropper is destroyed and recreated
3. Canvas scaling edge case (social-media-cropper.html:427-435): Complex zoom-out scaling logic could lead to unexpected positioning at very low zoom levels

Recommendations:

• Add proper cleanup in cropper destruction
• Consider using requestAnimationFrame instead of setTimeout for zoom restoration
• Add bounds checking for extreme zoom values

🚀 Performance Considerations

Good practices:

• Event handlers use appropriate passive flags where possible
• Zoom acceleration logic prevents excessive function calls
• Canvas rendering only triggers on actual crop changes

Optimization opportunities:

• The continuous zoom interval could be throttled further during rapid interactions
• Consider debouncing the updatePreview() calls during zoom operations

🔒 Security Assessment

No security concerns identified:

• File handling properly validates image types
• No external data sources beyond CDN dependencies
• Canvas operations are safe and client-side only
• No user input sanitization needed (UI interactions only)

🧪 Test Coverage

Current state: No dedicated tests for this component (as expected for this static tool collection)

Testing recommendations for future:

• Unit tests for zoom logic and drag mode switching
• Integration tests for touch gesture handling
• Cross-device testing on actual mobile devices

🎯 Key Improvements Delivered

1. Toggle buttons solve main UX issue: Clear "Move Image"/"Move Crop" buttons eliminate mode confusion
2. Smart pinch-zoom implementation: Two-finger detection prevents single-touch conflicts
3. Enhanced zoom buttons: Press-and-hold with acceleration provides excellent mobile UX
4. Professional styling: Larger touch targets with proper visual feedback

📝 Final Assessment

This PR significantly improves the mobile experience with well-architected solutions. The code quality is high, security is not a concern, and the implementation thoughtfully addresses real usability problems. The few minor issues identified don't affect functionality and could be addressed in future iterations.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve - This is a solid improvement that enhances mobile usability without introducing significant risks.

Tasks Completed:

• Read and analyze the modified social-media-cropper.html file
• Review code quality and best practices
• Check for potential bugs or issues
• Evaluate performance considerations
• Assess security concerns
• Check test coverage
• Provide comprehensive review feedback
