The creator asked why the Stream Alerts "Display" drop-down was not in the same
style as the other drop-downs. It was never given the theme's YtComboBox style -
only a hand-painted Background/Foreground. Setting colours changes the paint, not
the template, so WPF still drew the light system ComboBox (grey border, system
arrow, white popup list) on top of the dark panel. The chat Font drop-down was a
copy of the same mistake, and every check box was the light system one.
The sweep of the whole properties panel (then the app):
- ComboBox x2 (chat Font, alert Display) -> YtComboBox, hand-painted colours gone
- TextBox x16 in the properties panel -> YtTextBoxCompact (new, BasedOn YtTextBox:
11px / padding 4,2 - the panel is dense, the full 13px box would double it)
- CheckBox x2 (chat) + x3 (preview broadcast) + x1 (socials dialog) -> YtCheckBox
(new: a 14x14 rounded box + tick path, accent fill when checked)
- the layer-rename field -> YtTextBoxCompact via BasedOn, still borderless
- buttons, pills, sliders: already themed, untouched
The sweep also killed a typo'd foreground (#e0d0e0 for #e0e0e0) and the only
remaining hand-painted colour is the deliberate dimming of the two read-only path
fields.
Guard: ytLive.Tests/PropertiesStyleTests.cs (the ONE Good Dog test) parses the app
XAML and fails if an unstyled drop-down, check box or properties field comes back.

Creator: 'when I attempt to refresh my YPP page, I get an error about not being
able to reach YouTube. Seriously?' Real log: channels.list failed (403) x3.
Root cause #1 (the 403): channels.list?mine=true&part=statistics,auditDetails,
contentDetails returns 403 insufficientPermissions when the token lacks the
youtubepartner-channel-audit scope — which the auditDetails part ALONE requires,
per the docs ('A request that retrieves the auditDetails part ... must provide an
authorization token that contains the youtubepartner-channel-audit scope'). That
scope is MCN partner tooling with a 2-week token-revocation rule; the app must not
hold it. TASK-39's 'current scopes suffice, no re-consent' slice-1 claim was wrong
for this part; mock-fake tests never touched the real API, so it shipped green and
403'd every refresh since 2026-09-22.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list
Fix: part=statistics,contentDetails only; standing flags removed from
ChannelStatsService -> YppStatSnapshot surface -> YppTrackerViewModel -> drawer,
replaced by an honest deep-link row ('Channel standing isn't exposed to YouTube
apps — check the Earn page'). YppSnapshot standing columns stay (schema-stable,
always false). channels.list failures now log the response BODY — the bare code
could not name insufficientPermissions, which is what made this undiagnosable.
Root cause #2 (found by the new Good Dog, masked by the 403): statistics come back
as JSON STRINGS ('350'); raw GetInt64() throws. Tolerant ReadInt64 (ValueKind-first;
JsonElement.TryGetInt64 THROWS on strings — type-in, not try-type).
Good Dog: ChannelStatsServiceTests.CaptureCurrent_RequestsNoAuditDetails_AndStillParsesTheSnapshot
(URL asserts no auditDetails + snapshot parses); YppPullOutTests fixture updated.
Recipes for both 403/scope and statistics-strings entered in MyMistakes.md.
Also shipped in the same commit (shared PreviewPane.xaml + ai.md): the audio-sync
status dot removal from the #77 feedback round (creator: 'what is the point of the
status light? Lose it') — IntToSyncBrushConverter deleted with it.
verify.sh gate: 0 warnings, 316/316 pass, scope-check clean.
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)
User launch (2026-09-01 19:07) NRE'd in MainViewModel ctor:
1. SceneGraph (TASK 31) was 'null!'-declared, assigned mid-ctor, but Scenes is touched
~120 lines earlier — field-initialized now.
2. LeftPanel extraction (c9fd1bd) moved StaticResource users (EyeButton/EyeIconStyle)
into a UserControl while the styles stayed window-scope — invisible at parse time;
moved to Themes/Controls.xaml (app scope, the existing rule). Full audit: these were
the only two offenders (grep of Controls/*.xaml StaticResource keys vs app dictionary).
3. RoundClipInteractionTests — the second 'known failure' the map never explained: it
was two stale-test layers (window.FindName across the new UserControl namescope +
VisualTreeHelper.HitTest, which returned the IsHitTestVisible=False WebViewHostPanel
overlay for EVERY point; UIElement.InputHitTest — the real input pipeline — shows the
corner IS grabbable in both Traditional and Round). Test fixed, no product bug.
Verified: clean rebuild 0 warnings; app boots (log shows full MainWindow loaded; user
clicked + closed, zero new exceptions; real DB Webcam row = the genuine C920, untouched);
RoundClip + 6 RealApp classes pass natively per-class.
Docs: ai.md known-failure note → 246/247 (audio only); TASK 31 verification paragraph
corrected ('cannot run headless' overstated — per-class Windows-host vstest runs them);
MyMistakes: InputHitTest-vs-VTH recipe + namescope/app-style + shared-log facts.
Spin-guard citations: WPF Visual Tree Overview (InputHitTest vs VisualTreeHelper hit
semantics) + XAML namescope docs, learn.microsoft.com.
HealthBanner.xaml takes the Row 1 YouTube-health banner (report-by-exception).
Converters: promoted the 7 value<->visibility converters (BoolToVis, Inverse,
NotNull, Null, Hidden, EnumToBool, AllTrueToVis) from MainWindow.Window.Resources
into Themes/Controls.xaml so extracted UserControls can resolve them. AGENTS rule:
controls cannot reach into a window's own named resources; they resolve from the
app-level merged theme instead. Promoted all of them (not just NotNullToVis) so
every pending extraction keeps working without window-level references.
Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Docs: ViewModels/index.md Phase 2 tracker updated in the same commit.

- Build 0 warnings, 178 tests passing
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
- Meter is a READ-ONLY realtime level display: fill = Math.Min(1, AudioLevel * MicVolume) (AudioLevel = live input from the future mixer, 0 with no input; MicVolume is gain on ambient noise). While the slider is dragged the bar previews the slider position (PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown/Up + LostMouseCapture -> SetVolumeAdjusting); on release it returns to the live level (bounces to 0 with no input). Clicking the meter does nothing.
- MicVolume drives MicMuted (read-only, muted <=> volume 0): sliding to 0 flips the speaker to the red slashed mute icon, sliding up from 0 clears it; speaker button runs volume to 0 or restores the prior level (_volumeBeforeMute, default 0.8) and flashes the meter to the restored position for ~300ms (BeginVolumeFlash/EndVolumeFlash DispatcherTimer, cancelled if the slider is grabbed).
- MIC label opens MicPickerDialog (WinRT audio-capture device enumeration, mirrors camera picker, no new packages); the chosen voice source name shows left-justified INSIDE the meter bar (fill at 75% opacity so text + ruler markings show through).
- New files: Services/IMicrophoneEnumerator, MicrophoneDeviceInfo, WinRtMicrophoneEnumerator; ViewModels/MicPickerViewModel; MicPickerDialog.
- Docs updated (ai.md, TASKS.md, Services/index.md, ViewModels/index.md); build 0 warnings, 65 tests passing
