Debugging BentoFX in MelodyMatrix with Creator Matt Coley: Scenic View, Layout Issues, and Honest AI Code Review

A live debugging session with BentoFX creator Matt Coley, exploring layout issues in the MelodyMatrix JavaFX application. The session covers using Scenic View to inspect the JavaFX scene graph, how BentoFX's pruning behavior conflicted with manually written animation and width-tracking code, and an honest critique of AI-generated code (Claude and Copilot) that duplicated functionality already handled by the library. A potential bug in BentoFX's divider mode behavior was also discovered during the session.
