Game audio bar is now ALWAYS visible (TASK 4 gating removed, 2026-08-15): the show/hide machinery kept hiding the desktop/game meter whenever no full-screen game with sound was up or no TRAX music played, which the creator read as the meter being lost. Deleted IGameAudioDetector/GameAudioDetector/GameAudioHysteresis (Services/), the VM's 250ms DispatcherTimer poll + OnGameAudioActiveChanged/OnGameAudioPollTick + IsGameAudioBarVisible + _gameAudioBarActive/_gameAudioTimer/_gameAudioDetector, and the two detector test files (GameAudioDetectorTests, GameAudioHysteresisTests); MainWindow.xaml drops the Visibility binding so the bar renders unconditionally. Desktop audio is just automatic WASAPI loopback now. Docs in the same commit: ai.md (audio section + Services inventory), Services/index.md, ViewModels/index.md, TASKS.md TASK 9 item 7 follow-up, HANDOFF.md shipped state + stale poll-timer landmine removed. Build 0 warnings, 189 tests passing (8 detector tests removed)
