Creator: 'when I attempt to refresh my YPP page, I get an error about not being
able to reach YouTube. Seriously?' Real log: channels.list failed (403) x3.
Root cause #1 (the 403): channels.list?mine=true&part=statistics,auditDetails,
contentDetails returns 403 insufficientPermissions when the token lacks the
youtubepartner-channel-audit scope — which the auditDetails part ALONE requires,
per the docs ('A request that retrieves the auditDetails part ... must provide an
authorization token that contains the youtubepartner-channel-audit scope'). That
scope is MCN partner tooling with a 2-week token-revocation rule; the app must not
hold it. TASK-39's 'current scopes suffice, no re-consent' slice-1 claim was wrong
for this part; mock-fake tests never touched the real API, so it shipped green and
403'd every refresh since 2026-09-22.

Fix: part=statistics,contentDetails only; standing flags removed from
ChannelStatsService -> YppStatSnapshot surface -> YppTrackerViewModel -> drawer,
replaced by an honest deep-link row ('Channel standing isn't exposed to YouTube
apps — check the Earn page'). YppSnapshot standing columns stay (schema-stable,
always false). channels.list failures now log the response BODY — the bare code
could not name insufficientPermissions, which is what made this undiagnosable.
Root cause #2 (found by the new Good Dog, masked by the 403): statistics come back
as JSON STRINGS ('350'); raw GetInt64() throws. Tolerant ReadInt64 (ValueKind-first;
JsonElement.TryGetInt64 THROWS on strings — type-in, not try-type).
Good Dog: ChannelStatsServiceTests.CaptureCurrent_RequestsNoAuditDetails_AndStillParsesTheSnapshot
(URL asserts no auditDetails + snapshot parses); YppPullOutTests fixture updated.
Recipes for both 403/scope and statistics-strings entered in MyMistakes.md.
Also shipped in the same commit (shared PreviewPane.xaml + ai.md): the audio-sync
status dot removal from the #77 feedback round (creator: 'what is the point of the
status light? Lose it') — IntToSyncBrushConverter deleted with it.
verify.sh gate: 0 warnings, 316/316 pass, scope-check clean.
Current-OAuth-scope data, no re-consent: subscriber bars for both tiers (500 fan-funding /
1,000 ad-revenue; the 2027-02-01 doubling is versioned date-aware data in YppThresholds),
3-uploads/90d, live standing from channels.list auditDetails, self-reported 2FA/AdSense
checkboxes + deep links (Google 2-Step / youtube.com/earn), and the "what counts" education.
Every refresh appends a YppSnapshot (SQLite v10) so the analytics slice has history from day one.
- ChannelStatsService (channels.list statistics,auditDetails,contentDetails + playlistItems.list,
virtual CaptureCurrentAsync = test seam); YppTrackerViewModel mirrors LiveBroadcastFormViewModel.
- MainViewModel.Ypp.cs: Ypp property, ChannelStatsFactoryOverride seam, one-open-at-a-time drawer
exclusivity (both directions); account sign-in/out/restore hooks in Account.cs.
- PreviewPane.xaml: TextPullOutHost is now a drawer bank [broadcast][ypp][stacked white tabs];
outside-click collapse covers both drawers. MainWindow.xaml.cs updated.
- Wait - watchers: the whole feature already reviewed against YouTube's own docs (YPP Earn tab +
API availability) before building — see TASKS/task-39-ypp-journey-tracker.md.
- ONE integration test: YppPullOutTests (snapshot capture/persist + checklist round-trip +
drawer exclusivity). 313/313 pass, 0 warnings.
- Memory in same commit: TASKS.md row, ai.md Journey-tracker bullet (roadmap→reality), HANDOFF.md.
Slice 2 (Analytics yt-analytics.readonly re-consent → watch-hours/Shorts + velocity/ETA +
sparkline) is queued behind this, not merged.
