Peaking and scopes are computed on the corrected picture, and scopes measure exactly the frame the snapshot would export. Snapshot exports stay clean: monitoring aids are never baked into a master frame.

`B`	cycle zebras (off → 95 → 80 → 70 IRE)
`X`	false colour on / off
`E`	cycle extraction (off, 2.39, 2.40, 2.35, 1.85, 1.78)
`W`	cycle scopes (off, waveform, parade, histogram)

`S`	snapshot PNG
`R`	start / stop recording
