ai.md 228 → 64 lines. It now carries only: what the product is, the build
commands, the architecture table, a "where the truth lives" table, and a
pointer to HANDOFF. No narrative, no status, no duplicated invariants.
AGENTS.md (195 lines) is now the single always-read file:
- the 20 invariants that break output, wipe user data, or ship a legal/trust
breach — one line each, pointing at the doc that explains it (they replace
110 lines of invariant stubs that duplicated docs/ai/*.md verbatim)
- Response style + No-Fluff Mode moved in from ai.md (rules belong in the rules file)
- onboarding is now: HANDOFF → ai.md router → the ONE docs/ai file → dir index;
TASKS.md is read when the question is "what's next", not to write code
- memory rides with the change but is no longer a unit of its own; HANDOFF is
≤40 lines and overwritten, never appended
Anti-rebloat gate: scripts/verify.sh gains step 1/4, a doc-budget check
(AGENTS ≤210, ai ≤100; HANDOFF/TASKS caps land with the queue trim). A commit
that pads a capped file instead of moving detail fails the gate.
schema.md and docs/index.md corrected for the new roles and reading order.
Docs-only unit: scope-check run, no build.
ai.md is the mandatory read every session; at 2,702 lines / ~64k tokens it
costs the whole subsystem history even when the task never touches it. This
is a verbatim move, not a compression - nothing is deleted and each stub is
written from the moved text.
- docs/ai/frame-pipeline.md: 'Frame cadence', 'Per-element composite timing +
scene dump', 'What the first instrumented take said', 'Render budget',
'Scene compositor' and 'Live frame pipeline', byte-identical, plus a short
'Related in ai.md' footer and two stale 'below' pointers corrected.
- ai.md keeps two stubs carrying the invariants that must not be missed
(overlay on every render path, VideoFrame.Epoch, StripPool threads,
Release-only render numbers; arrival-stamped rawvideo, non-blocking submit,
stop order, burned _outputIndex judge) and links the new file.
- docs/ai/index.md + docs/index.md route the split; schema.md inventory lists
the new tier.
- 4 index-row references and 2 TASKS.md anchors repointed; ai.md's Services
row too.
Measured: ai.md 63.6k -> 47.1k tokens, 2,702 -> 1,975 lines. Progressive
disclosure per schema.md convention 5. No source touched; no push.
TASKS.md is now the index (status table, open items, research pointer).
33 files: 32 task files + 1 research facts file. The full take-saga
narrative and all design decisions are preserved verbatim; the catalog
makes the queue readable without opening every task body. Schema and
AGENTS.md updated to reflect the new layout.
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).
- AGENTS.md: auto-read session on-ramp — memory-map reading order, working
rules, build command, and startup-log pointer
- ai.md: Response style section (no default planning boilerplate) plus an
optional, on-demand No-Fluff Mode for ruthless review; never the default
- schema.md: AGENTS.md listed as the always-read first page
