- Add ElementKind (Static/Dynamic) to SceneElement base; Source/WebcamSceneConfig classify
- Services/SceneGraph.cs: owns the Scenes collection (ViewModel's Scenes delegates to it),
the element mutation surface (Add/Insert/Remove/Move, each invalidating the bake), and the
queries that were scattered LINQ (GetBackground/GetWebcam/GetChatBoxes/GetSplitPoint/IsStatic)
- SceneCompositor: split-aware BakeStaticBase + CompositeLayers + Render(.., staticBase, split);
builds/caches the static base below the split point in source-rect space
- FramePump: optional SceneGraph -> optimized bake+composite path; falls back to full render
- MainViewModel: routes element mutations through the graph; invalidates the bake on static
layout/opacity/visibility/useDefaultBackground changes and after background heal/Ensure
- Integration test SceneGraphTests.BakedStaticBase_WithDynamicLayer_CompositesCorrectly
Derivative survey (mandated): tried before writing — OBS does per-source opacity/visibility
caching and static-scene baking; this mirrors OBS's 'cached static source' optimization.
3 documented defensive deviations from the spec (ChatOverlayLayer stays decoupled;
background helpers stay VM-static for direct testability; full facade peel deferred post-1.0)
in TASKS.md + ai.md. Scope check passed; clean build 0 warnings.
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.
Same root cause as IsChatBox — SourceType binding fails on WebcamSceneConfig,
WPF defaults Visibility to Visible without calling the converter.
Added virtual bool IsCountdown on SceneElement, override in Source.
Swapped binding to BoolToVis. Removed dead SourceTypeToVisibility converters.
SceneElement was missing virtual IsChatBox property (unlike IsWebcam, IsWebSource, IsImageSource).
WPF binding failed silently when SelectedElement was a webcam, defaulting StackPanel to Visible.
Added virtual bool IsChatBox => false on SceneElement, made Source.IsChatBox override it.
- Source.ShowDesktop bool persisted in DB (schema migration + LayoutStore)
- ClearBackdropCaptureAsync clears CaptureKey + VideoImageSource for static fallback
- Top bar: red/green/pulsing status light, avatar via BitmapImage, Log In button
- ShowStartStream now requires IsConnected
- RunMockChatPreviewAsync: simple async loop, ChatPreviewEnabled property on Source
- EnsureDefaultBackdrop called on every scene switch, seeds all 5 scenes
- SeedEndingBackdrop replaces existing, SeedChatBackdrop added
- SceneCatalog: Chat scene display name corrected (layer = 'YouTube Chat')
- Left panel spacing consistency, context menu reordered
- Border animation rendering via code-behind Storyboard approach
- 3 new backdrop assets (ending-backdrop.jpg, chat-backdrop.jpg, live-backdrop.jpg)
- Build 0 warnings, 178 tests passing
- Source.IsDraggable now includes ChatBox and WebSource (was Image-only)
- ChatBox default: 400×1080, top-right corner (1520, 0) on first add
- SeedStartingBackdrop: embeds starting-backdrop.jpg as Background source
in the Starting scene on first launch (pack:// resource)
- Assets/llamacasty-icon.png: new brand llama figure (no text)
- Assets/llamacasty-icon.ico: converted from PNG for executable
- Assets/llamacasty-logo.jpg: full logo with text
- ytLive.csproj: updated ApplicationIcon and Resource references
- All XAML windows: updated Icon references to new file
The web source section's visibility was bound to SelectedElement.Type
via a converter, but WebcamSceneConfig has no Type property — the WPF
binding path didn't resolve correctly and the section leaked through.
Added IsWebSource virtual property to SceneElement (mirrors existing
IsWebcam pattern), overridden in Source to return
Type == SourceType.WebSource. Section visibility now binds directly to
SelectedElement.IsWebSource via BoolToVis.
1c of 7-issue polish batch. 207 tests, 0 warnings.
- Elements scrollbar no longer deselects element on click (check ScrollViewer, not StackPanel)
- Web source: URI + check/revert buttons merged into single DockPanel row, consistent order (✓ rightmost)
- Countdown timer moved from Elements panel to inline in source list row, range clamped to 1-30 min
- Volume slider click-to-position restored: e.Handled prevents IncreaseLarge from overriding position, Thumb drag still works
- Desktop audio meter: asymmetric smoothing (attack 0.2, decay 0.08) for faster response to silence
- 207 tests passing, 0 warnings
1. About box bg → #0A0C1A (matches icon bg)
2. Elements panel collapses when no element selected / scene changes
3. OpacityChip moved from preview overlay into Elements panel
4. Color picker fix: cast to SceneElement not Source (WebcamSceneConfig was silently blocked)
5. Red left accent bar on selected items in Scene/Source lists
6. ✓ character replaced with Path checkmark icon in Elements panel
7. Removed ToolTip='Applied' from green check buttons
8. Created bugs.md with first entry (iTunes audio on mic meter)
9. Full logo in README + About box uses ytLlive-logo.png
