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.
Doc: ai.md top-bar model, ViewModels/index.md, Controls/index.md, TASKS.md,
HANDOFF.md, new TASKS/task-42-top-bar-redesign.md; task-40 note.
Tests: TopBarModeTests.cs (new Good Dog), PillRadioTests + TestStreamTests
gates updated. Build 0 warnings; full suite 314/315 — single abort is the
pre-existing env-dependent RealMouseDrag test (Path of Exile 2 running)
