Reconcile the pending doc edits with the creator's actual ruling, and close the revenue-share question that was blocking the monthly price. Verified from the App Developer Agreement v8.10 PDF itself (downloaded and text-extracted, not a search excerpt). Section 6(b) has only three tiers: 6(b)(i) 15% for Apps and their In-App Products *not listed in* 6(b)(iii); 6(b)(ii) 12% Games-only; 6(b)(iii) 30% for Xbox console apps/games, Xbox non-subscription IAP, and Windows 8/Phone 8. LlamaCasty is a Windows PC App, so 6(b)(i) governs BOTH tiers -- there is no subscription surcharge. The agreement's own changelog (v8.0, Oct 26 2017) states it outright: "implement the 85/15 revenue share for non-Game subscriptions." => $10/mo nets $8.50 (~$102/yr); $400 lifetime nets $340. Also confirmed: the 15% applies after VAT/GST (Net Receipts definition), payouts are monthly above a $50 threshold, and no better small-indie rate exists in the standard terms. Creator ruling recorded: $10/mo subscription or $400 lifetime, no annual, no .99. This supersedes the 2026-09-21 one-time $29 -> $49 model. Two obligations ADA 6(h) attaches to the recurring tier, recorded because they change its risk profile and are the reason lifetime is the hedge: we must fulfil the subscription for the entire period as marketed (on breach Microsoft may refund the full amount plus taxes in its sole discretion), and raising the price disables auto-renew -- so $10 is effectively locked for the product's life. Stale facts fixed in the same change rather than appended: - research-store-certification.md: IARC was 11.11.1/11.11.2 in one table and 10.11.1 in another; corrected to 10.11.x. - research-store-certification.md: policy 10.8.1/10.8.2 still asserted "Polar explicitly permitted" and "tick the third-party purchase box". Void now that Store IAP is the route and Polar is being torn down. - task-48: the working YouTube demo account (10.3.1) was accidentally dropped from the certification list during the Store-IAP edit. Restored -- a reviewer cannot use the app without one. - MyMistakes.md: the verified-fact-vs-decided-outcome lesson now closes its loop (the creator did rule the way the research pointed), and records the over-correction that followed. Docs-only. No code, no build, no tests.
ytLlive
A creator-proof live-streaming and recording app for YouTube — native Windows (C# / WPF / .NET 8).

Design Principle
This software is so intuitive that even the most right-brained person can easily intuit and use it.
Every feature is measured against this. One-click go-live, sane YouTube defaults, visual scene building, and no dead ends — every action has a visible outcome.
Why ytLlive
OBS treats YouTube as an afterthought; SLOBS is Twitch-first with YouTube bolted on. ytLlive is designed and dedicated to YouTube livestreaming and recording, and to YouTube's specific quirks.
Account Assumption
ytLlive assumes you already have a YouTube creator account — connecting uses "Sign in with Google" to link that existing account. ytLlive does not create accounts. If you don't have a YouTube channel yet, set one up on YouTube first, then connect it here.
Audio Assumption
ytLlive uses your default microphone and desktop/game output — it never hunts for a device or contends for one. It assumes your audio is already configured and working (default input and output set, not hijacked by another app). Audio issues are a Windows/device matter outside ytLlive's scope: we don't debug, detect, or try to fix them. If it doesn't sound right, fix the system's audio settings first — it's on the OS, not on us.

Version Roadmap
v1 is the finished product (creator ruling, 2026-09-01 — there are no v1.x releases).
Everything still queueing lands in v1; anything not on the feature list is on the closed
"Out of product — permanently" list in TASKS.md — read that page before asking for a feature.
What v1 ships: the five-scene director's control surface, webcam + screen capture, media + web + text sources, chat on-stream, the social bar, mic/desktop audio with auto-duck and TRAX, local recording, variable quality tiers with auto step-down, one-click go-live + scheduling, stream resilience (auto-reconnect inside YouTube's grace, one-click back on air), built-in monetization awareness (reward capture, session reports, YPP journey tracker), Alerts — all free and ungated; the one-time license only removes the branding flash.
