+## What's in flight — TASK 40: App Settings round (plan saved 2026-09-22)
+
+Creator (this session) scoped three asks and answered four decision questions. Full plan:
+**`TASKS/task-40-app-settings-round.md`** (created + committed in `4d9188a`). Four units, one
+Good Dog test + one scope-checked commit each:
+
+- **Unit A — App Settings "Active Web Camera"** (ask 1): new section under "Default Location
+  for Recordings" — **Change…** opens a sub-menu of a *fresh* webcam enumeration incl. vcams
+  (adopt+base-lock if `_webcam == null`, else existing `SwapWebcamIdentityAsync`); **Tune…**
+  opens a `CameraConfigDialog` of the device's `VideoDeviceController` MediaDeviceControls
+  (Auto + Min/Max/Step sliders, **live-only**, no persistence). Tech risk to verify at impl:
+  whether MediaDeviceControl writes work under `SharedReadOnly` (ladder: probe capture → running
+  source's controller → read-only + note; spin-guard = research before a 3rd guess).
+- **Unit B — gear** (ask 2): move from BottomBar lower-left to **TopBar right of the wordmark,
+  gap ≈ 3 letters**; left-click = App Settings, right-click = Bug/Feature/About.
+- **Unit C** (ask 3): persist default output resolution (currently resets every launch), surface
+  default scene transition + duration (persisted but editable NOWHERE), Confirm-before-End toggle.
+- **Unit D — accent/theme** (ask 3, split out as its own unit): 69 hardcoded accent sites across
+  15 files → consolidate into a `Themes/Controls.xaml` accent brush (DynamicResource) + picker +
+  `App.AccentColor` Settings key; `Source.ChatMemberColor` stays per-source.
 
 ## ⚠️ Open action items / landmines
 
-- **The app is RUNNING on the desktop** (`ytLive` pid 8696 was seen locking `bin\net8.0…\ytLive.dll`)
-  — normal `dotnet build` to `bin` fails with MSB3021/MSB3027 until it's closed. Sessions verified
-  the build with `-p:OutDir=C:\Users\gramp\AppData\Local\Temp\ytLive-build39\ -p:UseAppHost=false`
-  and ran vstest against the temp dll. Close the app before committing/final verification.
-- **`subscriberCount` is rounded to 3 significant figures** by Google — near-threshold ETA/bar
-  reads are coarse; documented in `TASK 39` doc + the drawer's `WhatCounts` text.
-- **LayerReorderPersistenceTests.RealMouseDrag…** flaked once pre-TASK-38 (fullscreen game on the
-  desktop); unrelated, re-ran green.
-- **Slice 2 (Analytics) needs Google re-consent** — `yt-analytics.readonly` added to
-  `YouTubeAuthService.Scope` (line 18) triggers it; do NOT merge with slice-1 work.
-- Polar product `d105dfa1…` still `$99/yr` — must become one-time before launch (carried; see
-  `TASKS/task-10-monetization.md`). `MARCOM.md`/`MONETIZATION.md` are gitignored — never commit.

-## What this session did (TASK 39 slice 1 — creator ruling 2026-09-21, plan 2026-09-22)
-
-Add the **"YPP"** pull-out below **Stream Settings** on the Live screen's right edge. Current-OAuth-
-scope data (no re-consent) shown in-app: subscriber bars for both tiers (500 f.funding / 1,000 ad —
-the 1,000/4,000h/10M→8,000h/20M doubling on **2027-02-01** handled as versioned data in
-`YppThresholds`), 3-uploads/90d bar, live standing from `auditDetails`, self-reported 2FA/AdSense
-checkboxes + deep links, and the "what counts" education text. Every refresh appends a `YppSnapshot`
-(SQLite v10) so slice 2's velocity/ETA has history from day one.
-
-- `ChannelStatsService` (`channels.list statistics,auditDetails,contentDetails` +
-  `playlistItems.list`, virtual `CaptureCurrentAsync` = test seam); `YppTrackerViewModel` mirrors
-  `LiveBroadcastFormViewModel` (drawer state + commands); `MainViewModel.Ypp.cs` wires `Ypp`,
-  `ChannelStatsFactoryOverride`, and **one-open-at-a-time exclusivity** (both directions);
-  account hooks in `MainViewModel.Account.cs`.
-- `PreviewPane.xaml` — `TextPullOutHost` is now a drawer bank: [broadcast drawer][ypp drawer]
-  [stacked white-tab column]; same animated-width pattern (To=320, 0.2s CubicEase). Outside-click
-  collapse in `MainWindow.xaml.cs` covers both. `IsClickInsideDrawer` unchanged.
-- **Good Dog = ONE integration test** (`YppPullOutTests`): connected-VM snapshot capture +
-  persistence + checklist round-trip + drawer toggles; real-window exclusivity both ways.
+- **The app may still be RUNNING** (a `ytLive` instance locked `bin\…\ytLive.dll` earlier today)
+  — in-place `dotnet build` fails with MSB3021/MSB3027 until it's closed. Workaround that worked:
+  build with `-p:OutDir=C:\Users\gramp\AppData\Local\Temp\ytLive-buildNN\ -p:UseAppHost=false`
+  and run vstest against the temp dll. Close the app before Unit-A final verification.
+- **Unit A SharedReadOnly control-write risk** is the one genuinely uncertain technical point —
+  do NOT hand-wave it; run the mitigation ladder and (if needed) the spin-guard research.
+- **`subscriberCount` rounded to 3 sig figs** by Google (YPP numbers are coarse). Carried.
+- **Slice 2 (YPP Analytics) needs Google re-consent** (`yt-analytics.readonly`) — do NOT merge
+  with any TASK 40 unit.
+- LayerReorderPersistenceTests.RealMouseDrag flaked once pre-TASK-38 (fullscreen game); unrelated.
+- Polar product `d105dfa1…` still `$99/yr` — must become one-time before launch (carried,
+  `TASKS/task-10-monetization.md`). `MARCOM.md`/`MONETIZATION.md` gitignored — never commit.
 
 ## Next step
 
-## Next step
-
-1. TASK 39 **slice 2** (Analytics scope re-consent → watch-hours/Shorts + velocity/ETA +
-   sparkline) per `TASKS/task-39-ypp-journey-tracker.md`, when the user queues it. Before any
-   build, close the running ytLive instance or use the temp-OutDir build described below.
+The user has a **new task spec waiting** — take it, then execute TASK 40 units A → B → C → D per
+the saved plan (each: declared file list → code → Good Dog test → `./scripts/scope-check.sh` →
+commit with docs in the SAME commit → push only on the user's say-so). HANDOFF rewrite is due
+when this docs work unit commits.
 
 ## Critical working rules (unchanged, still binding)
 
 - **Good Dog = ONE integration test per change.**
-- **Scope lock:** declare the exact file list before editing; run `scripts/scope-check.sh` before
-  commit. No "while I'm here" edits.
-- **Run from WSL** always uses the Windows dotnet host (`/mnt/c/Program Files/dotnet/dotnet.exe`)
-  with quoted paths and `--TestCaseFilter` for filtered vstest runs.
-- **ai.md + code in the SAME commit**; rewrite HANDOFF.md at session end.
+- **Scope lock:** declare the file list before editing; `./scripts/scope-check.sh` before commit.
+- WSL builds use the Windows dotnet host (`/mnt/c/Program Files/dotnet/dotnet.exe`, quoted paths).
+- ai.md + code in the SAME commit; HANDOFF rewritten at session end.
 
 ## Where the machine facts live
 
-- `%APPDATA%\ytLive\ytLive.db` = real layout DB (`layout.db` is a 0-byte legacy file). sqlite3 at
-  `/root/android-sdk/platform-tools/sqlite3`. Schema is now **user_version = 10**.
+- `%APPDATA%\ytLive\ytLive.db` = real layout DB (`layout.db` is a 0-byte legacy file); schema
+  `user_version = 10`. sqlite3 at `/root/android-sdk/platform-tools/sqlite3`.
 - ffmpeg/ffprobe: `/mnt/c/Program Files/Krita (x64)/bin/` with Windows paths.
-- `ai.md` §Screen backdrop capture = authoritative backdrop/capture-key/heal doc (incl. TASK 38).
-- `ai.md` §Monetization awareness = authoritative monetization roadmap (incl. the TASK 39
-  journey-tracker state). YPP thresholds/date doubling live there + `Models/YppThresholds.cs`.
-- Business/marcom facts: `MONETIZATION.md` + `MARCOM.md` (both gitignored).
