Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Do not pin a point when no image is displayed.

A mode or top-down change clears last, but the new input overlay still accepts clicks. Before the next render arrives, toImage uses a 1×1 fallback and toWorld uses a 0×0 image size. A click can therefore pin a point near the old camera instead of the clicked location. Guard click-to-lock with last.

Review comment at @packages/preview/src/preview/Preview.svelte at line 985:
Update the click-to-lock handler around `toImage(pointer(e))` to ignore clicks when `last` is absent, so no point is pinned until an image is displayed. Preserve the existing click behavior when `last` is available.

Confirmed. toImage falls back to a 1×1 image and toWorld uses a 0×0 one when last is null, so a click there would pin a point near the camera, not where you clicked. The fix guards click-to-lock on last. It's committed locally (afa83a7). CI on the current head is green, so I'll include it in the next push rather than push for a minor finding.
