"Clicking on everything produces no visible effect" — the cause was upstream of the controls, and it
is the same defect as the invisible alert box (TASK 47):
- `Source.DisplaySource` returned `VideoImageSource` only for ChatBox / WebSource / MediaSource /
AlertBox. The scoreboard's frame was rendered and published, then never displayed.
- the preview's Image has a per-type Visibility trigger for each of those and none for IsScoreboard,
so even a correct DisplaySource would have stayed collapsed.
Both are fixed, and the layer test now pins the frame-source list AND the trigger so the pair cannot
drift apart again.
Dev-only affordances are ORANGE from now on (creator ruling): "Simulate (dev)" is a TextBlock in
Brush.Attention, so a development control can never be mistaken for product. The panel test pins the
colour.
Creator (2026-10-30): in dev mode the "Show the scoreboard" option must always be available.
The block's gate becomes CanUseScoreboard = IsConnected || IsDevelopmentBuild. Signed-out Release
still shows the inert block with its "sign in" line; a DEBUG build is fully usable, so the strip can
be toggled and previewed before there is an account. IsConnected raises it, so signing in flips it
live.
Guard: ScoreboardPropertiesTests now asserts the CanUseScoreboard gate (enabled AND hint), and the
VM surface list includes it.
The scoreboard is fed by the signed-in channel (chat events + channel stats), so offering its
switches to a signed-out user is a dead control. The whole block now binds IsEnabled to IsConnected
and shows one line — "Sign in to YouTube to use the scoreboard." — instead of looking broken.
Nothing extra is needed to re-enable: IsConnected already raises on sign-in/out, so the block
comes alive the moment the session lands.
Guard: ScoreboardPropertiesTests asserts the IsEnabled binding, the signed-out hint and that the
hint is gated by the inverse converter.
Creator: "even if it's not visible, we want to avoid polling."
ScoreboardEnabled is the layer's master switch in the properties panel. Off means two things:
- the strip frame is null in every scene (per-scene eye toggles stay independent), and
- the cadence policy returns None at every phase — a scoreboard nobody can see must not spend quota.
The switch is persisted (Scoreboard.Enabled), because one that resets would quietly resume polling.
The polling gate is ScoreboardPollsEnabled: master switch AND at least one scene with a visible
scoreboard — so hiding it in all five scenes also stops the polls.
Guards: ScoreboardCadenceTests adds the switch off across live/test/recording; ScoreboardProperties
pins the checkbox and the VM surface.
Selecting a Scoreboard layer now shows its settings, using the app's own widgets only:
- eight fact checkboxes (subscribers, watch hours, Super Chats, new members, milestones, last member,
last Super Chat, last gift)
- text colour and plate colour via YtComboBox over BorderColorPalette (the app's one palette —
TASK 63's rule: a picker IS the app's drop-down, never a hand-built menu)
- plate on/off, plate opacity, text size 14-24
Every change pushes through the presenter (SetStyle/SetTiles) and repaints the strip, so the preview
and the output follow immediately. One look per layout, stored on the view-model: the scoreboard is a
single billboard, not eight independent widgets.
Guard: ScoreboardPropertiesTests asserts the panel is gated on SelectedElement.IsScoreboard, binds
all eight facts and the four look controls, uses YtComboBox/YtCheckBox only, and that the VM surface
exists for each name (a typo would otherwise bind to nothing in silence).
