MainViewModel.Streaming.cs (787 lines) takes the full go-live/record flow
(StartSession/BeginRecordOnly/BeginGoLive/PrepareAndStartLiveAsync/StopStream,
record-file naming + rename-on-stop), health pipeline (FramePump.Handle +
poll, report-by-exception banner), session timer, REC/ON-AIR start/end UI,
the resolution quality dropdown over the 1920x1080 master, live window
visual tokens (UpdateLiveVisuals), record-folder commands, broadcast
pull-out (CurrentBroadcastId/BroadcastForm) and the stream-state setters
(StreamStatus/StreamVisibility) + their fields. Core drops 1890 -> 1119
lines. Cross-partial references (IsConnected, IsEditMode, BrandFlash*,
_audioMixer, ctor wiring) are safe on one partial class.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known
pre-existing failures (audio-mix gain + round-clip grab). Docs: index.md
Streaming row added + core row trimmed in the same commit.
MainViewModel.Socials.cs: social-bar state (_socials/_socialBarFrame/
_socialValidator), bar props (HasSocials/SocialBarVisible/SocialBarDotBrush/
SocialBarGlowBrush/Socials/SocialBarTop), OpenSocialDialog + NotifySocialsChanged
+ RenderSocialBarFrame (SocialBarRenderer), fediverse heal
(HealFediverseSoftwareAsync/HealFediverseSoftwareInBackground),
SetSocialBarPosition/ToggleSocialBarPosition, OpenSocialDialogCommand.
BarOnBrush/BarOffBrush/CreateBrush stay in core (shared tokens used by
Audio/Trax partials); core keeps ctor command assignment, LoadLayout,
SaveLayoutNow, and the compositor socialBar seam.
Docs: index.md restructured — each landed partial (Account..Trax) now owns its
own table row, the core row shrinks to only what remains in MainViewModel.cs,
and the split tracker is a compact code<->commit map.
Verify: 0 warnings, 246 passed, 2 known failures only.
Pure member movement into MainViewModel.License.cs (zero behavior change):
Polar license state (LicenseKey/LicenseMessage/IsLicenseValidating/
IsLicenseEntryOpen/IsHubVisible/IsPremium + OfflineGracePeriod),
ValidateLicenseAtStartupAsync, ActivateLicenseAsync. docs in same commit:
ViewModels/index.md split table (License ✔).
Pure member movement into MainViewModel.Account.cs (zero behavior change):
session restore (LoadSavedSessionAsync), sign-in/out/change (SignInAsync,
SignOutYouTubeAsync, ChangeAccountAsync), IsConnected + account avatar/name +
AccountStatusLightToolTip. Partial carries its own usings (ytLive.Services for
the INotificationService default interface methods). docs in same commit:
ViewModels/index.md split table + tagging convention.
Zero behavior change: \`public class\` -> \`public partial class\`. Each functional area
(Scenes, Background, Webcam, Audio, Trax, Socials, Streaming, Chat, Overlays,
Account, License) will move to its own file next, one commit per partial — each
a roll-back point. Docs updated in the same commit: ViewModels/index.md (split
map), ai.md (architecture table), HANDOFF.md (state). verify.sh: build 0 warnings,
only the 2 known pre-existing test failures.
Mic button/sound bar/slider moved from footer into the preview pane
(vertically below the Socials+TRAX row). Bottom bar reduced to a single
row: gear icon left, stream stats centered under preview, resolution
dropdown right. Avatar image only loads when IsConnected fires true — no
stale image from a previous session on startup. Build 0w, 247 tests.
When the Socials button moved to the preview row, its 220px first column
was removed from the footer grid. The mic meter StackPanel still referenced
Grid.Column=1 which no longer exists — moved to Grid.Column=0. Build 0w.
Encoder dual-output: StreamEnabled/RecordEnabled/RecordPath options; per-output
ffmpeg block (stream ->flv, record ->mp4); throw unless at least one output.
RecordingFile: auto-name ty-<yyyymmdd>-<start hhmm>-0000.mp4, rename-on-stop to
ty-...-<len hhmmss>.mp4 with numeric-suffix on collision. LayoutStore persists
record folder. MainViewModel: REC/ON-AIR pills, status light, single Start<->End
button (replaces Start/Stop variants), StopStream no longer signs out, explicit
session timer. About overlay widened. Sign In label + spacing before Start.
Tests: 244 passed / 246 (2 pre-existing: AudioPipeline gains-mute, RoundClip).
Build 0 warnings. Scope check clean.
Memory-map correction (derived-solution rule, 2026-08-29): image-shrink recipe was
never recorded when first done, so it was re-derived. Added Derived-solution/recipes
rule to AGENTS.md; MyMistakes.md now a permanent recipes registry (records the
verified WPF-imaging shrink recipe); schema.md rows MyMistakes as registry; ai.md
points to the rule. README hero image replaced: 3.2MB screenshot -> 1400x794 ->
188KB docs/ytLlive-preview.jpg (JPEG q82).
Project lesson cited (the 2026-08 web-box saga, 9 commits): browser sources are fixed canvases
per OBS convention — the 'gap' was a widget CSS glow, not a bug.
Root-cause note: the apparent remaining gap was a WIDGET GLOW EFFECT (the widget's own CSS glow pushed
out its perceived borders), not a code bug — the alpha-bbox already hugged the glow halo. Verified
perfect with a second widget without the effect.
- FindContentBounds already trimmed the bitmap; the grid/box still rendered at the uncropped user
size, so Fill stretched the tight widget into a bigger frame = dead-between-content-and-border.
- ContentCanvasSize maps the crop rect to canvas units (1920/pixW per axis, DPI-correct) and the
preview event now carries (bitmap, canvasW, canvasH).
- OnWebView2PreviewBitmapChanged sets the element Width/Height to that size; the grid and the
SelectionOverlay (both bound to the element's Width/Height) now equal the widget exactly.
- IsPreviewDragging (set in MainWindow drag/resize) suppresses auto-fit mid-gesture.
- Tests 10/10 (alpha bounds, canvas-size mapping incl. DPI, control size); 0 warnings.
- FindContentBounds scans the Bgra32 capture for the bounding box of non-transparent pixels
(background is injected transparent, so alpha = widget extent). Crop to that rect + Stretch=Fill
maps the widget flush under the selection box: full-canvas widgets fall through to the full frame
(identical to the confirmed-good image); floating widgets get tight-fitted with no dead space.
- Removes QueryContentBoundsAsync + the JS script entirely — the DOM-union attempt (a5b9952) broke
rendering by measuring an unsettled layout on NavigationCompleted; alpha measurement is immune.
- 3 new unit tests: tight box, no-alpha no-crop, full-alpha no-crop. 7/7 pass, 0 warnings.
The wrapper-excluded content-union crop measured an unsettled layout on NavigationCompleted
(async fonts/images, load animations) and produced a broken/zoomed sliver — the image was gone.
Restoring the exact confirmed-good pipeline; the bounding-box dead-space problem stays open and
will not be touched without explicit approval.
- scrollWidth/scrollHeight returns the whole 1920x1080 canvas for widgets whose body/background
spans it, so the crop kept massive transparent margins and the content floated in the Fill box.
- ContentBoundsScript now unions every visible element's getBoundingClientRect, excluding elements
that span >=98% of the viewport (bodies, full-canvas background layers); full-bleed widgets fall
back to the full rect. Crop taken AT the rect's top-left (l,t) — content pins to bitmap (0,0).
- Web Image explicitly Margin=0 + Left/Top alignment so the frame and widget coincide at the origin.
- Canvas-size render untouched.
- ContentBoundsScript back to scrollWidth/scrollHeight extents, kept as a real JS object
(the JSON.stringify double-encode bug that silently disabled the crop stays fixed).
- Crop again from (0,0), no X/Y offset. The union-of-elements approach (582d1f4) created an
all-sides gap by including invisible full-canvas wrappers; revert to the proven code.
- QueryContentBoundsAsync now returns a real JS object (not JSON.stringify — ExecuteScriptAsync
double-encodes strings, which silently killed the old crop) and measures the union of every
visible body element's getBoundingClientRect: the widget's actual rect, top-left offset included.
- CaptureFrame crops AT that offset (x,y) instead of from (0,0), so the widget anchors at origin
and the box is flush on right/bottom. Fill maps the frame flush under the box.
Bundle exception (2026-08-27): this lands prior-session work plus today's
transparency fix as one commit per creator instruction.
WebView2Manager (new): off-screen WebView2 control parked at -5000/-5000 in
the window's visual tree, captures via CapturePreviewAsync every 100 ms into
a BGRA8 VideoFrame. Source Width/Height sync to the control via
PropertyChanged. JS transparent-background injection runs on every
NavigationStarting/NavigationCompleted so the page's own CSS does not paint
white over the capture.
Transparency fix: DefaultBackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent
set on the WPF control before EnsureCoreWebView2Async. The WPF SDK doc says
the value is forwarded to the controller on init; the IDL (ICoreWebView2-
Controller2) confirms alpha=0 makes the capture alpha-preserving. The
prior-session 'CoreWebView2.BackgroundColor' path was the wrong property
name and has been replaced.
LayoutStore: WebUri column added (idempotent ALTER TABLE) and round-tripped
on save/load (schema v11).
MainViewModel: WebView2Manager constructed on Loaded; loaded web sources
re-registered; Source.WebUri PropertyChanged forwards to manager.
MainWindow: off-screen host Canvas added to visual tree.
Tests: 3 scale-sync + WebView2_DefaultBackgroundColor_Is_Transparent +
LayoutStorePersistenceTests.WebSource_WebUri_Persists. 234/236 pass
(2 pre-existing failures unchanged).
Scale bug (DPI/physical-pixel mismatch) still open.
