A dead encoder used to run the whole stop path, so a one-second blip ended the broadcast. Now a dropped
push is relaunched against the same ingest while the broadcast is still alive.
- `Services/StreamRetryPolicy.cs` — immediate, +1 s, +2 s, +3 s. Minimum waits on purpose (creator
ruling): YouTube's grace is short, so every second not pushing is grace spent.
- `Services/StreamRecovery.cs` — the loop, with the audio pipe recreated before every attempt (its
server is single-instance and unusable after the old client dies, so a naive relaunch fails on a
missing input). After a push comes up it asks the API whether the broadcast survived: "complete"
ends recovery as `BroadcastComplete` instead of showing a live sign over a dead stream; an API
hiccup counts as recovered rather than ending a healthy session.
- `FramePump.EncoderFailed` — a dead push is recoverable; a compositor fault still goes through
`Failed` and ends the session, because retrying it would loop.
- `MainViewModel.Recovery.cs` — wires the steps, reports each episode into the left panel alert stack
(one row per episode, updated in place, log range painted), and cancels on Stop.
- Alert stack polish: a rule and a gap now separate the stack from the scene layers (they read as one
list before), and the licence indicator uses the creator's wording — `STEAM ID NOT PRESENT` /
`Steam ID Limit: 30fps` / `Click for More Info`, becoming `STEAM ID PRESENT` / `60fps` with a close
control once owned.
Tests: `StreamRecoveryTests` (schedule, recover on attempt 2 with the pipe restarted each time,
complete-broadcast honesty, unknown liveness, give-up, cancel, audio-restart fault),
`FramePumpTests` now pin that process death raises `EncoderFailed` and not `Failed`.
FAST gate: 538 passed (one documented pre-existing audio failure), 0 warnings.
Creator design (2026-11-05). A stack of red rows at the top of the left panel, above both mode grids
so it shows while editing and while live, pushing the panel's content down.
- Row 1 is the **Steam licence indicator** and nothing displaces it. It reads as status, not a
warning: "Entitlement 30 fps · Maximum 60 fps", both numbers derived from QualityOptions and
HasProOutput. While higher tiers are unavailable it shows a **pin** (standing indicator, no close
control); once ownership is verified the pin becomes a **close control** and the dismissal is
persisted (`Steam.LicenceIndicatorDismissed`), permanent while ownership holds. Losing ownership
restores it as pinned — a change of state, not a preference. Click → About.
- **Event rows stack beneath, newest first**, one row per episode (an episode advancing its state
updates its own row rather than adding another). Each is dismissible. Click → the Logs tab opens
with that event's sequence range painted red (`HighlightedLogFrom/To` + `LogInRangeConverter`; two
numbers rather than a collection because the log list is virtualised and realised rows do not
re-evaluate on membership changes).
- Replaces the old red panel under the quality picker, which is removed.
- The Steam diagnostic text loses "Contact the creator or support" for a neutral
"Steam licensing is not configured in this build."
Tests: `AttentionAlertStackTests` — pinned first with the status text; owned → closable and the close
survives a reload but ownership loss restores it pinned; pinned cannot be dismissed; event rows LIFO
with in-place episode updates; clicking an event opens Logs and sets its range. AboutHub + Entitlement
tests updated for the removed panel and the new wording. FAST gate: 532 passed, 0 failed, 0 warnings.
