GlassRefractionSource class

Marks a widget as the refraction capture source for the nearest LiquidGlassScope.

Wraps child in a RepaintBoundary tagged with the scope's GlobalKey. Descendant GlassEffect widgets (the liquid pill inside GlassSegmentedControl, GlassTabBar, and GlassBottomBar) will sample this boundary every frame to produce real background refraction on Skia and Web.

On Impeller with GlassQuality.premium, this is not needed — the native scene graph handles refraction without a captured boundary.

Typically used inside a LiquidGlassScope via the .stack() factory:

LiquidGlassScope.stack(
  background: Image.asset('wallpaper.jpg', fit: BoxFit.cover),
  content: Scaffold(...),
)

Or manually, for granular control:

GlassRefractionSource(
  child: Image.asset('wallpaper.jpg'),
)
