-# HANDOFF — 2026-11-02 (current-launch Logs tab)
+# HANDOFF — 2026-11-02 (test failure follow-up)
 
 ## State
 
-- `main`; scene-local ticker commit `20f0594` is local, not pushed.
-- Logs tab work is in progress: non-edit panel has Live Chat first/default and Logs second. Logs
-  reads only the process-local AppLog buffer (newest 500, newest first); file logging and rotation
-  remain unchanged, and prior-launch file contents are not loaded.
-- The Logs-panel integration test passes; clean app build is 0 warnings and scope check passes.
+- `main`; Logs tabs committed as `9fa06c6`, local and not pushed.
+- First test-failure task: `ChannelStatsServiceTests` now uses dates relative to UTC so the 90-day
+  upload assertion does not expire with the calendar. Focused test passes.
+- Clean app build is 0 warnings. Full suite: 12 failed / 510 passed of 522; the remaining UI/content
+  failures are being handled one task and one local commit at a time.
 
 ## Next action
 
-Run the declared-scope verification and commit the Logs-tab unit. Then resolve the outstanding
-UI/content test failures one issue at a time, with a separate local commit for each resolved task.
-Do not push absent a milestone/checkpoint request.
+Commit the date-relative YPP test fix, then take the next remaining failure. Do not push absent a
+milestone/checkpoint request.
 
 ## Landmines
 
 - Build/test with Windows `dotnet.exe`; the full suite can hang in WASAPI teardown.
-- Full suite after Logs changes: 13 failed / 509 passed of 522; the same UI/content failures remain
-  (none in Logs or ticker tests). They are the next queued work, not to be masked or added here.
+- `verify.sh` cannot pass until the remaining 12 suite failures are resolved; scope checks are run
+  separately when that gate exits early.
 - Any integration test constructing `MainWindow` must set `LayoutPathOverride` to a temporary DB
-  and clear it in `finally`; AppLog path overrides are also process-wide and are serialized here.
+  and clear it in `finally`.
 - Bundled FFmpeg stays outside the single-file exe (`ExcludeFromSingleFile="true"`).
