+### STR-049 - Extract Draw Merge Temporary Paint Request Construction
+
+Status: Ready
+Score: no score movement
+Debt: `DEBT-0036`
+Scope: `src/canvas.cpp`, `src/legacy_canvas_draw_merge_services.h`, `tests/paint_renderer/compositor_tests.cpp`
+
+Goal:
+
+Move the remaining `Canvas::draw_merge_temporary_paint_branch()` request
+construction into a retained helper so the temporary-paint wrapper keeps only
+dispatch and execution handling.
+
+Done Checks:
+
+- `Canvas::draw_merge_temporary_paint_branch()` no longer owns the
+  temporary-paint request construction inline.
+- Regression coverage proves the helper preserves temporary-paint sampler,
+  texture, and draw ordering.
+- `docs/modernization/debt.md` records the reduced draw-merge temporary-paint
+  surface.

+Validation:

+```powershell
+ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug -R "pp_paint_renderer_compositor|pp_paint_renderer_stroke_execution" --output-on-failure
