Take two (2026-09-01) three confirmed defects, all from creator feedback + the
new resolver logging:
1. NO WEBCAM IN OUTPUT: WebcamSceneConfig.WebcamId carries the identity GUID;
CameraManager keys sessions by DEVICE id — GetLatestFrame(guid) returned null
forever, the compositor silently dropped the layer while the preview (bitmap
path) looked fine. The resolver logging added in 8dcaee0 caught it red-handed.
DeviceKeyForWebcam maps identity->device through the _webcam singleton (identity
mismatch / unknown ids pass through). Test: WebcamOutputKeyTests.
2. START BUTTON VANISHED AFTER STOP: my pills-clear ruling met the old
ShowPrimaryStartButton gate (needed IsConnected or a lit REC pill) — signed-out,
pills-off = blank top bar, no session reachable. Start is now ALWAYS the idle
face; unarmed Start records (local needs no account — no dead-end no-op); the
Sign In button folds into Start's context menu ('Sign in to YouTube', shown while
disconnected) with a dedicated SignInCommand. SessionTeardownTests extended:
stopped session must leave a reachable Start.
3. TOP BAR ORDER (creator spec): [sign light] REC [pill] [sign light] ON-AIR [pill]
— each reality lamp now sits in front of its own intent switch (was: two pills,
then two orphaned dots). Sign labels keep the shared StatusSignText style.
Tests: WebcamOutputKey, SessionTeardown, FramePump, WebcamMenuGate, GlobalHotkey,
BroadcastPullOut — 14/14 across the six classes, clean build 0 warnings.
Creator ruling 2026-09-01 (stuck REC pill after the failed first recording):
- StopStream clears RecordPillOn + OnAirPillOn — intent resets with reality.
- OnFramePumpFailed: dispatcher-marshalled FULL rollback via StopStream (was:
toast + Error-status only when live — record-only sessions zombied with
IsRecording=true over a dead encoder; the 20:34 attempt proved it). Toast copy
says 'Recording stopped' vs 'stream pipeline stopped'.
- Same zombie class in the three go-live prep failure branches: StreamStatus.Error
limbo replaced by StopStream() (audio loop + recording + pills unwind; a created
broadcast still gets the close-out).
- AudioMixer.StopLive made explicitly idempotent (Stop() twice, rollback paths that
never reached StartLive).
- Seams: OnFramePumpFailed + IsRecording setter internal (InternalsVisibleTo; test
pattern mirrors LayoutPathOverride).
ONE integration test: SessionTeardownTests (real window + temp DB: pump death with
lit pill -> no zombie, no End button, Offline). AudioPipelineTests confirmed to hang
STANDALONE (pre-existing, the declared-known audio class) — ai.md test-count
paragraph corrected to stop claiming a suite total that cannot currently be measured.
