Add a persisted global App Settings switch. Off keeps the existing per-severity
lifetimes (errors remain sticky); on makes every alert non-expiring and closes
it when its body is clicked. The NotificationService supplies the current
setting to each toast request.
StickyNotificationIntegrationTests covers persistence and both request modes.
618 tests green, clean build with 0 warnings.
Reference: Notification.Wpf exposes a CloseOnClick request option:
https://github.com/G-Stas/Notification.Wpf
App Settings now chooses one of six ToastArea positions (left/right ×
top/center/bottom), defaulting to the existing bottom-right. The setting is
persisted per profile and the toast area moves immediately; edge gutters keep
bottom notifications above the footer.
ToastPositionIntegrationTests covers live repositioning and restart persistence.
617 tests green, clean build with 0 warnings.

Use category-filtered font and selected-item dropdowns, separate horizontal and vertical alignment, and reuse the border-color palette templates for text color. Persist vertical alignment additively. Follow the established static text-source pattern: https://obsproject.com/kb/text-sources
Raster static text on UI-thread changes and reuse the same transparent BGRA frame in preview and all compositor paths. Cache text frame identity in the frame-pump signature and invalidate static bakes on edits. Follow OBS text-source conventions: https://obsproject.com/kb/text-sources
TextOverlay layers now have a multiline editor, Windows font and size controls, color/emphasis/alignment settings, and a visible draggable preview. Text sources follow OBS's static text-source conventions: https://obsproject.com/kb/text-sources
Add independent AppLog message types and explicit Class 1/2 severity. Wrap and color log rows, pin Class 1 above Class 2, and let acknowledgement return entries to the current-launch timeline without changing file format or rotation.

Add Live Chat and Logs tabs to the non-edit left panel. Expose a bounded process-local AppLog feed so the newest messages appear first without importing earlier startup.log contents or changing file logging.

Model the AlertBox and standalone ticker with shared settings; scene tickers render the in-memory active and queued events without saving history. Keep AlertBox content active-event-only.

Keep non-owner resolution choices visible but muted. Selecting one preserves the free tier and opens About; external navigation is only the explicit llamacasty.com link. Ref: https://streamlabs.com/desktop
The creator's locked table (2026-10-17) gives the Chat scene its own rules in
the 9:16 tier: RECT ONLY - the circle option is not offered - and a size that
is either the normal small tile or ENLARGED to fill one whole 607x540 area
(top or bottom). Unit 1 shipped the per-scene placement; this unit is the Chat
scene's own variant of it.
The rule lives on the MODEL, not on the button:
- Models/SceneElement.cs: ClipShape and ToggleClipShape() are now virtual.
- Models/WebcamSceneConfig.cs: VerticalShapeLocked (set per scene by the VM)
OVERRIDES the ClipShape property, so no writer can slip a circle in - the
toggle, the Shape button and the placement swap all go through it. The lock
is cleared BEFORE the 16:9 layout comes back, so the desktop shape returns.
- ViewModels/MainViewModel.Webcam.cs: CanToggleClipShape (the circle is NOT
offered in the vertical Chat layout - the Shape button disappears, it is not
merely greyed out), IsChatSceneCamera, ResizeWebcamInVerticalTier.
- Models/VerticalCameraLayout.cs: FillsArea (the "enlarged" state, derived -
no new column) and SizeFor - the Chat camera's TWO sizes, the tile or the
whole area, whichever is nearer the requested width, so the resize handle
has two detents instead of any size in between.
- An enlarged camera FILLS the area its centre is in (top or bottom), so
dragging it up/down swaps the areas.
- The Chat camera is auto-tiled like the Live one when the vertical tier is
picked - otherwise the vertical chat stream has no camera at all.
- Controls/PreviewPane.xaml.cs: the resize routes through the VM; the drag
assigns, lets the model clamp into the band, then snaps (so the enlarged
camera can be dragged from the top area to the bottom one).
Test: ytLive.Tests/VerticalChatCameraLayoutTests.cs - the ONE Good Dog test for
the unit: the vertical tier is picked -> the Chat camera comes into the band as
a small RECT tile -> the circle option is not offered and cannot be set even on
the model -> dragged up and enlarged it fills the TOP area exactly -> back to
16:9 the desktop layout is restored exactly and the circle option is offered
again. 430/430 tests pass, 0 warnings.
Research (the creator's table is the established practice, not our invention):
- Streamlabs' vertical guide: "splitting the screen in half horizontally,
placing the camera feed in the top half and the main content on the bottom
(or vice versa) may be the bet", and a just-chatting vertical wants the
camera "to take up most of the screen"
(streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/overlays-vertical-and-horizontal-streaming)
- Bloopbot's vertical overlay docs describe the same per-layer model we use at
scene granularity: "move or resize a layer on Vertical and it stops being
Auto-placed. It keeps the place you gave it, and the horizontal layout is not
touched" (bloopbot.com/docs/vertical-overlays-twitch-dual-format) - our
swap-at-tier-change, stored per scene.
- Landmine recorded: "about the bottom 560 px of the vertical video can be
covered by Twitch's chat and player controls on phones" (Bloopbot) - the Chat
camera's enlarged BOTTOM area may be half-hidden by the platform chrome;
TASK 53's safe-zone work decides that.
Memory in the same commit: ai.md (the Chat rules, the shape lock, the tests),
TASKS.md + TASKS/task-57-vertical-camera-layout.md (TASK 57 complete), HANDOFF.md,
MyMistakes.md (3 recipes: lock the model property not the UI button; two detents
for a discrete size set; the edit tool cannot match an oldString with an em
dash), Models/ViewModels/Controls index rows.
The vertical tier is a centred band crop of the SAME 1920x1080 master (band x
656.25, w 607.5, h 1080), so the 16:9 camera placement (x~1408) falls outside the
cropped window and the creator is simply not in the vertical stream. Each scene
now keeps its own vertical position, size and shape; switching back to 16:9
restores the desktop layout exactly (the creator's locked table, 2026-10-17).
Geometry only - NO render-path change. The preview and the compositor both read
the element's own X/Y/W/H + ClipShape, so the tier switch swaps the LIVE geometry:
- Models/VerticalCameraLayout.cs (new): the pure math - the band, its two 607x540
areas, the six spots (top/bottom x left/centre/right), the 32px inset and the
270x152 default tile (480x270 in the 1080x1920 output) in the bottom-right spot,
the corner the 16:9 default webcam uses.
- Models/WebcamSceneConfig.cs: the vertical placement lives in seven additive
columns (VerticalX/Y/Width/Height/ClipShape/RectWidth/RectHeight; NULL = "this
scene has no vertical placement yet"). The 16:9 layout stays in the old columns
and is parked in the transient Landscape* fields while the vertical tier is
live; Begin/EndVerticalLayout + CommitLiveLayoutToVertical do the swap. The
X/Y/W/H overrides clamp every write into the band - outside it the camera is
invisible in the vertical output.
- Models/SceneElement.cs: X/Y/Width/Height became virtual so the derived element
constrains every writer (drag, resize handle, typed fields) in ONE choke point
instead of three writers each re-implementing the rule.
- ViewModels/MainViewModel.Webcam.cs + .Streaming.cs: IsVerticalTier/VerticalBand,
ResolveVerticalCameraLayout(s) (the tier swap), MoveWebcamInVerticalTier /
SnapWebcamInVerticalTier (the six-spot snap, by the tile's centre),
EnsureVerticalCameraLayout; ApplyStreamQuality is the tier-change hook. The
Live scene gets its small tile automatically on the first vertical switch (the
vertical stream would otherwise have no camera at all); the other scenes keep
their 16:9 placement until the creator drags them into the band.
- Controls/PreviewPane.xaml.cs: the drag/resize route through the VM snap under
the vertical tier instead of free-floating over the master.
Controls/LeftPanel.xaml: the webcam properties gained a Geometry section
(X/Y/W/H) for the manual entry the creator asked for, bound to the LIVE
placement, gated on the VM's IsWebcamSelected (NOT SelectedElement.IsWebcam -
the TASK 51 test finds that panel by binding text and would match twice).
- The store: seven guarded ADD COLUMNs, the INSERT/SELECT extended, and the
X/Y/W/H/ClipShape columns stay the 16:9 layout - while the vertical tier is
live the save writes the parked values there and the live ones into Vertical*.
Test: ytLive.Tests/VerticalWebcamLayoutTests.cs - the ONE Good Dog test. The
vertical tier brings the Live camera INTO the band as a small tile; dragging it to
the top-right lands it top-right inside the band; back to 16:9 the desktop layout
is restored exactly (1408/778/480x270); both placements survive a save + reload.
Full suite 429/429, 0 warnings. LayerReorderPersistenceTests.RealMouseDrag fails
ALONE on a clean tree in this environment - pre-existing flake, proven by stashing
this work, not a regression.
Derivative work: OBS has no built-in per-aspect-ratio layout storage - the
maintainers' answer is "create a second scene and add the scene you want to send
as source" (obsproject.com/forum/threads/161307) - and Streamyard's dual-aspect
guide says the same ("no built-in way to store separate layouts per aspect ratio",
so you rely on manual workarounds and plugins):
https://streamyard.com/blog/dual-aspect-ratio-streaming-tool
Our per-scene, per-tier stored placement, resolved on the tier change, is the
step past both.
Memory in the same commit: ai.md (new section), TASKS.md + TASKS/task-57-*.md
(Unit 1 shipped, Unit 2 = the Chat scene still open), HANDOFF.md, MyMistakes.md
(the per-tier geometry-swap recipe, the binding-text panel trap, the store's
webcam-identity rule) and the Models/Services/ViewModels/Controls index rows.
The zoom feature shipped without a task record while its index rows carried the
"TASK 51" label — which belongs to the webcam background effects (Remove + Blur).
For an honest catalogue and handoff:
- TASKS/task-52-zoom-box.md: feature provenance (creator-requested), the three
2026-10-08 corrections (loupe -> anchored capture over the full composite drawn
last -> never show the dim shading), shapes, implementation map, tests, DONE.
- TASKS.md: row 52 added (shipped); row 51 reworded — unblocked now that the
zoom build shipped.
- TASK 51 -> TASK 52 in Models/index.md, ViewModels/index.md, and the two code
comments that pointed at the zoom as "TASK 51".
- HANDOFF.md: pre-push readiness notes (5 commits ahead, push-safe).
Creator corrected the "loupe" zoom on 2026-10-08: the click anchors a fixed
capture region (box/2 centred on the click) and the box is a live 2x view of
that region — dragging the box never changes its content; it magnifies the
fully-composited frame (every layer, incl. webcam) and draws LAST (n+1).
Rectangle shape is 4:3 ("more of a 640x480 aspect").
- MainViewModel.Zoom.cs rewritten: ActivateZoom anchors CaptureX/CaptureY
(independently clamped); UpdateZoomMove relocates the box only; the per-frame
BuildZoomFrame/ZoomFrameBuilder path is gone.
- SceneCompositor: skips the active ZoomSceneElement in every layer loop and
BlitZooms it last via the new pure ZoomMagnifier (2x bilinear, temp snapshot
via ArrayPool, round clip).
- Preview: ZoomBox hoisted above CanvasGrid as a sibling; its brush samples the
whole composed preview at the fixed capture (2x).
- Tests: ZoomMagnifierTests (box-over-blue shows green capture at 2x incl. an
extra red "layer" — the loupe/backdrop-only regressions both fail it) +
round-clip; ZoomBoxInteractionTests rewritten (anchored capture, move-doesn't-
change-capture, 4:3/9:16/square). 404 pass, 2 known environment flakes.
Right-click now creates a transient ZoomSceneElement at z-index 1 whose pixels are a
genuine 2x magnified sample of the backdrop (live capture under art), composited into
stream/recording like any layer while the output crop stays the tier. All shapes are
centered on the click and clamped to frame; healed on load/scene-create, never persisted,
hidden from the layers list + element template (IsZoomLayer). BuildCompositorOptions is
now internal = always tier crop (test seam). ZoomFrameBuilder is a pure static sampler
(box/2 window centered on the box center, single-slot cache) proven by a banded-backdrop
test; LayerReorderPersistenceTests drag resolves rows by item since the collapsed zoom
row shifts container indices. Also books TASK 51 (webcam background Remove + Blur) and
syncs memory docs (HANDOFF, MyMistakes, indexes). Full suite: 405 passed, 0 warnings.
Replace the external StreamElements feed with NATIVE YouTube events per the creator's
2026-09-23 question.
Chat parity half:
- YouTubeChatService decodes ALL SIX liveChat/messages event types into
ChatMessage.Kind (superChat/superSticker/newSponsor/membershipGifting/
giftMembershipReceived/memberMilestoneChat) — the four formerly-empty overlay
rows are real now — and re-arms its one-shot poll on the server's
pollingIntervalMillis (streamList connection semantics; clamp 1000-6000ms,
maxResults=2000). ParsePage internal static seam + ChatPage record for
deterministic tests; optional HttpClient ctor seam kept; InjectSimulatedMessage
(TASK 41) preserved.
Alerts half (creator rulings: one celebration zone, six UNIQUE animations, no
menus/polls, sub mention = chat row only, NO viewer count):
- New SourceType.AlertBox 'Stream Alerts' (one per layout, CanAddAlerts gate
mirroring chat; idle = transparent).
- AlertRenderer: six distinct branded animations (SuperChat slide-up/shine/
count-up, SuperSticker scale-pop, NewMember drop-in/flash, MemberGift slide-left/
chip-fan, GiftReceived confetti, MemberMilestone rise/growth-bar), every card
drawing the 'made with LlamaCasty!' brand line.
- AlertOverlayLayer: true component (Commit-G pattern) — queue (cap 10, drop tail
never stall), 33ms UI ticker, cache-first RenderFrame + UpdatePreview,
Advance(double) as the deterministic test clock; ChatEventKind.None rows never
enqueue.
- Wired: resolver RenderAlertBox, _alertLayer ctor + dispose, LoadLayout previews,
Add menu item (Controls/LeftPanel.xaml), TestSessionViewModel sims tagged
(member->NewMember, superchat->SuperChat).
Good Dog ONE integration test: AlertLayerTests (RealApp STA, real WPF raster) —
ParsePage classifies all six kinds + cadence fields; None rows enqueue nothing;
six events play pairwise-distinct moving frames then drain to null.
Gate: clean build 0 warnings; full suite 316/317, the one failure
(LayerReorderPersistenceTests.RealMouseDrag) repros on the clean tree — the
known environmental class (real-mouse-drag no-ops with a game/fullscreen window
focused).

The bar now renders ONE surface from the FIRST decision the creator makes —
Record or Stream — with each world being the whole bar. Creator directive:
"I wrote the fucking thing and I still can't figure-out how to do stuff",
"forget this one dog plan bullshit". OBS/streaming-tool reference for the
one-surface paradigm: https://obsproject.com (single mode toggle + context
actions) — cited per spin-guard habit; the go-live/test pattern follows
CEV (https://cev-desktop.aSean.xyz) precedent.
- Mode: single segmented REC|ON-AIR switch (SegmentToggle/SegmentLabel in
Themes/Controls.xaml); radio-exclusive world selection, one tap to flip.
- Record world: switch + Start Recording, zero YouTube identity.
- Stream world: switch + Go Live + Test + account zone right (Sign In until
connected, then avatar with Change Account/Logout context menu).
- Test is a child of Stream: procs only stream-armed AND signed-in.
- Running: one reality line "dot word elapsed" (REC/LIVE/TEST; green/red/
gold) + End; worlds + switch retire.
- Gear moved up from bottom bar, ~3 wordmark letters past the brand, single
click opens Settings/Bug/Feature/About menu (TASK 40 Unit B shipped early).
- Fix folded in: BeginTestStream now arms OnAirPillOn explicitly (unarmed
pump booted with zero encoder outputs -> "At least one output is required"
forced-stop cascade from TASK 41's pipeline).
- VM: world/reality props + RaiseTopBarModes() wired into StreamStatus,
pill, IsRecording, IsTestStream, IsConnected setters.

The ~30Hz CapturePreviewAsync PNG poll capped real cadence at ~20Hz
(35–165ms full-HD encode+decode), so a 60fps widget still juddered at ~1/6
speed. Replaced polling with frame-driven capture of the composition
controller's root visual — the mechanism WebView2CompositionControl and
Flutter's webview_windows use (graphics_context.cc captures the root
surface_ visual via CreateGraphicsCaptureItemFromVisual; reference:
github.com/microsoft/Windows.UI.Composition.WinUI / flutter-internal
webview_windows). Frames now arrive at the renderer's own pace; capture
memory is epoch'd ring reuse + one crop-sized shared WriteableBitmap.
New Services/WebCaptureFrameSource.cs owns GraphicsCaptureItem + free-
threaded Direct3D11CaptureFramePool + session (Straight alpha readback,
per-frame FindContentBounds → CropBounds). WebView2Manager reworked around
per-session composition controllers + one UI-thread Compositor created via
the CoreMessaging CreateDispatcherQueueController P/Invoke (the 19041
projection lacks CreateOnCurrentThread); internal seam ctor
(Dispatcher, Func<string,IScreenCaptureSource>?) for hermetic tests.
CaptureScheduler.cs deleted; the three SetCaptureInterval cadence hooks
removed; InitWebView2() moved from MainWindow ctor to Loaded (a parent
HWND must exist for the composition controller); the hidden WebViewHostPanel
overlay deleted. TransparentBackgroundScript unchanged.
Tests: WebView2ManagerTests reworked — 4 control-size + scheduler tests
dropped, FindContentBounds tests moved to WebCaptureFrameSource, ONE
integration test (Frames_PublishCroppedPreview_And_CoalesceToLatest_CarryingCropBounds)
drives the seam with a FakeWebSource + background-STA DispatcherPump.

The first true decomposition of the 4105-line god-object, not another partial
shuffle. MainViewModel.Chat.cs 194 -> 44 lines of thin delegation; all chat
behavior now lives in a self-contained Services/ChatOverlayLayer.cs (199):
- Owns the message buffer (Messages), ChatBoxRenderer, fade + mock-preview
timers, per-source preview renders, and the live-output RenderFrame path.
- The VM keeps only the binding surface: ChatMessages delegates to
_chatLayer.Messages (so XAML ItemsSource + LeftPanel CollectionChanged hold),
CanAddYouTubeChat / ShowChatInactiveMessage stay computed on the VM
(OnPropertyChanged raised from VM setters + XAML-bound), and thin forwards.
- Scenes handed in as args (no Func seam), so the layer owns no scene graph.
An AI reading ChatOverlayLayer.cs now sees the entire chat feature in one
self-contained unit. Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the
2 known failures. Docs: ViewModels/index.md tracker updated in same commit.
The original premise (extract FFmpegEncoder / StreamHealthMonitor / FramePump
classes) was a no-op — those already exist as Services/Encoder/FfmpegEncoder.cs
and Services/Encoder/FramePump.cs. The honest functional seam was the local
recording-output concern, which was interleaved with live-stream orchestration:
- New MainViewModel.Recording.cs (121): StartRecordFile, FinalizeRecordingAsync,
UniquePath, ChooseRecordFolder, ResetRecordFolder, DefaultRecordFolder + the
recording fields (_recordFolder, RecordFolderDisplay, _activeRecordPath,
_recordStartTime, _recordLength).
- MainViewModel.Streaming.Operations.cs 475 -> 377 (keeps live session lifecycle,
health, visuals).
- MainViewModel.Streaming.cs 328 -> 323 (keeps pills/state/properties intact).
Same partial class — all MVVM bound-property glue untouched, no behavior change.

LayoutStore.cs 1402 -> 47-line shell + 5 partials, grouped by functionality
(line count is a consequence, not the goal):
- LayoutStore.Migrations.cs: all DB schema migration (EnsureSchema, GetUserVersion,
MigrateSourceTable/WebcamConfigTable/ToV3/SceneTable/SceneSocialBarColumn/
SocialsTable/SocialEntryTable)
- LayoutStore.Load.cs: Load() scene/source read-back
- LayoutStore.Save.cs: Save() full scene tree write
- LayoutStore.Settings.cs: key/value settings + mic/record-folder/reusable-stream
+ license/transition/broadcast/hotkey/window-state GetSetting/UpsertSetting
- LayoutStore.Assets.cs: GetAssetBytes/UpsertAsset blob IO
- LayoutStore.cs: shell — Instance, fields, ctor, Dispose
Converted to public partial class LayoutStore : IDisposable. Pruned per-file

SocialsDialogViewModel.cs 515 -> 334. Extracted the DialogEntry record + the
row-level SocialSlotViewModel (service/logo/lock/edit/validate state, computed
Show* flags) into a new SocialSlotViewModel.cs partial. The dialog VM keeps the
sign-in gate, validation orchestration, and commit. DialogEntry stays public in

CreateBackground, NormalizeBackgrounds, AllBackgrounds, ResolveAutoCaptureKey,
MonitorKeyPrefix) into a new MainViewModel.Background.Model.cs partial.
Background.cs keeps capture/live state + operations.

PollHealthAsync/OnHealthPollTick/ApplyHealthIssue, StopStream,
FinalizeRecordingAsync, UniquePath, Choose/ResetRecordFolder, DefaultRecordFolder,

block (AddSource, NextSourceName, AddImage, BuildImageCandidates,
PickImageBytes, AddAsset, AddImageSource, AddReusedImage, RemoveElement) into a
new MainViewModel.Sources.cs partial, and WebView2 source hosting

OverlayHost.xaml(.cs) takes the window-root overlay dialog grid (settings/
bug/feature/about panels); BackToAbout_Click moved in via inherited DataContext.
WebViewHostPanel + ToastArea stay as thin window-root stubs so the WebView2 ctor
init and NotificationService InArea('ToastArea') name lookups are untouched.
This completes Phase 2: MainWindow.xaml is now a 123-line shell.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Docs: ViewModels/index.md Phase 2 tracker updated in same commit.
LeftPanel.xaml(.cs) takes the Row 1 Col 0 panel (layers + properties editor and
the live chat list). All property-editor/chat handlers moved into the control
(SourceNameBox edit, AddSourceButton menu, chat autoscroll self-subscribed on
Loaded, mirror/clip-shape, remove-source, background capture change/refresh,
opacity slider label, list drag-to-reorder, snapshot revert/accept family).
Window keeps only shell + routing: ctor wiring (_leftPanel), geometry, hotkeys,
taskbar overlay, BackToAbout, Window_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown (uses
_leftPanel.IsClickInside), UpdateSelectionOverlay (calls _leftPanel.OnSelectionChanged).
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Docs: ViewModels/index.md Phase 2 tracker updated in same commit.
SceneThumbnailStrip.xaml(.cs) takes the Row 0 scene-picker strip (ItemsControl
over Scenes with staged/live border highlight); Thumbnail_MouseLeftButtonDown
moved into the control, transitioning via DataContext.TransitionToScene.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Docs: ViewModels/index.md Phase 2 tracker updated in the same commit.
PreviewPane.xaml(.cs) takes the center preview (Row 1 Col 1): the 1920x1080
canvas (OverlayCanvas/SelectionOverlay/BrandFlashLayer/SocialBarElement),
the text pull-out drawer, and the live-controls row (TRAX / game / mic meters,
volume sliders, speaker toggles, socials button) inside the preserved
glow/background Border.
Code-behind moved into the control (drive by DataContext==MainViewModel):
preview drag/select/resize/hit-test (Preview_Mouse{Down,Move,Up},
EndPreviewDrag, HitHandle, HitElement), webcam context-menu handlers
(WebcamMenu_ChangeWebcam/SetBorderAnimation/StopBorderAnimation/
FindBorderShape/CreateBorderAnimation/AddDoubleAnimation/SetBorderColor/
HideInScene/Remove), social-bar glow (SocialBar_MouseLeftButtonDown,
SocialsButton_Mouse{Enter,Leave}, SocialGlowTick), audio controls
(VolumeSlider_*, GameVolumeSlider_*, MicSpeaker_*, GameSpeaker_*,
SetSliderValueFromClick, FindParent), and TraxButton_*.
Window keeps the left source/property/chat panel + thumbnail strip + overlay
host, and routes the selection overlay and preview hit-testing through the
control's public surface (_previewPane.UpdateSelectionOverlay(bool),
IsClickInsidePreview/Drawer, PreviewPane.IsDraggableElement). BackgroundMenu_*
stayed in the window because the left-panel source context menu uses them
(the preview's own desktop/refresh menu binds RefreshCaptureCommand instead).
Preserved the outer preview Border (background/glow/margin) that was initially
dropped in the cut — caught and restored before commit. Pruned now-unused usings
(System.Net.Http, Media.Effects, Media.Animation, Media.Imaging, Shapes,
Threading) from MainWindow.xaml.cs.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Docs: ViewModels/index.md Phase 2 tracker updated in the same commit.
TopBar.xaml(.cs) takes the Row 0 top controls: logo/About button, REC/ON-AIR
pills + status signs, avatar, Sign In/Start/End buttons. The avatar fetch
(AvatarHttp/_loadedAvatarUrl/LoadAvatarImage/ShowAvatarFallback) moved into the
control with async semantics preserved; the window grabs the control via
FindName in its ctor and calls _topBar.RefreshAvatar() when IsConnected or
AccountAvatarUrl changes (previously OnViewModelPropertyChanged -> LoadAvatarImage).
AccountLight is pure binding (never touched by code-behind) so it moved with the XAML.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Also dropped the now-unused System.IO using from MainWindow.xaml.cs.
Docs: ViewModels/index.md Phase 2 tracker updated in the same commit.
HealthBanner.xaml takes the Row 1 YouTube-health banner (report-by-exception).
Converters: promoted the 7 value<->visibility converters (BoolToVis, Inverse,
NotNull, Null, Hidden, EnumToBool, AllTrueToVis) from MainWindow.Window.Resources
into Themes/Controls.xaml so extracted UserControls can resolve them. AGENTS rule:
controls cannot reach into a window's own named resources; they resolve from the
app-level merged theme instead. Promoted all of them (not just NotNullToVis) so
every pending extraction keeps working without window-level references.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.

New Controls/ folder + namespace ytLive.Controls. BottomBar takes the
Grid.Row=3 footer: gear menu button (with its GearButton_Click handler moved to
the control's code-behind), centered stream-stats (bitrate/FPS/dropped/
duration/health), and the quality dropdown. All bindings inherit the window
DataContext; app-level styles resolve from Themes/Controls.xaml as before.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Docs: ViewModels/index.md tracker gains a Phase 2 section in the same commit.
MainViewModel.Overlays.cs (194 lines) takes the settings/bug/feature/about
panels + creator-hub links: panel state (IsSettingsOpen/IsBugOpen/IsFeatureOpen/
IsAboutOpen via SetPanel, IsLicensesOpen, IsAnyOverlayOpen, OverlayTitle),
ShowOverlay/ShowLicenses, bug/feature report fields + SubmitBug/SubmitFeature/
ComposeEmail/OpenUrl, the About-hub consts (ChannelUrl/MastodonUrl/CoffeeUrl/
PremiumUrl/IsPremiumAvailable), SupportEmail/AppVersionLabel, LicensesText, and
the overlay command declarations (OpenSettingsCommand..OpenLicensesCommand).
Core drops 940 -> 758 lines. Ctor command assignments and all other wiring stay
in core; SetPanel/ShowOverlay keep their cross-partial calls.
This completes Phase 1: MainViewModel.cs has been split into 10 functional
partials (1,890 -> 758 lines in core).
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Docs: index.md Overlays row added, About-hub row re-pointed, tracker marked
Phase 1 complete in the same commit.
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.
