- `Scene.SceneMutesMic` / `SceneMutesDesktop` are **nullable booleans**: null = leave the mix alone, so
a scene is passive until the creator says otherwise. Schema columns added, NULL for every existing
layout except one deliberate default.
- **Applied once when the scene takes the PROGRAM output** (`TransitionToScene`, only when live or
recording). Staging a scene offline is auditioning, not a stream edit — the test asserts that.
- **The creator is boss:** a manual mute survives any transition into a scene with no opinion; a scene
that does have one wins on its next entry. `SetMicMuted`/`SetGameMuted` are idempotent so a repeated
"mute" cannot clobber the level that unmute would restore.
- **BRB ships muted** (creator spec) for new layouts *and* via a one-time migration for existing rows
where the creator has never expressed an opinion.
- UI: two three-state checkboxes under the layers list ("When this scene goes live"), styled with
`PropertyPillCheck` so the theme test holds.
`SceneAudioTests` covers the whole rule in one integration test: default state, offline staging does
nothing, live entry mutes, manual unmute survives a passive scene, an opinionated scene wins, desktop
untouched, and all three states roundtrip through save/reload.
Needs the creator's eye: the checkboxes are new chrome in the left panel (indeterminate = passive).
Use category-filtered font and selected-item dropdowns, separate horizontal and vertical alignment, and reuse the border-color palette templates for text color. Persist vertical alignment additively. Follow the established static text-source pattern: https://obsproject.com/kb/text-sources
Raster static text on UI-thread changes and reuse the same transparent BGRA frame in preview and all compositor paths. Cache text frame identity in the frame-pump signature and invalidate static bakes on edits. Follow OBS text-source conventions: https://obsproject.com/kb/text-sources
Model the AlertBox and standalone ticker with shared settings; scene tickers render the in-memory active and queued events without saving history. Keep AlertBox content active-event-only.

The blur is universal, so it would swallow the logo along with everything else. The compositor
now defers every visible brand logo: skipped in both element loops, blitted immediately AFTER
the blur group, before the flash/social/ticker overlays. One logo per scene, so it is cheap.
Preview mirrors it: the staged scene's brand logo is drawn above the blur host (StagedBrandLogo),
so what you see in the editor is what the encoder gets.
Test: a blur covering the logo's area leaves the logo's pixels exactly white while the coloured
background beneath it blends.
The Blur item's Visibility is bound to CanAddBlur, which depends on the staged scene. The scene
setter never raised it, so the binding evaluated once (collapsed) and stayed collapsed for the
session — build 1082: the option simply wasn't there.
StagedScene now notifies CanAddBlur, with a test that pins both halves: Live true, Chat false,
and a notification on every staged-scene change.
Three creator directives (2026-11-01), done ahead of the surge.
**Gear moved to the preview rail** — first tab, orange (Brush.Attention), gear icon
only. Left-click opens the same app menu the top bar gear owned (Settings / Bug /
Feature / About), right-click goes straight to App Settings; both behaviours moved
with it, so nothing lost an entry point. TopBar keeps the wordmark and EDIT.
**EDIT right edge aligned to the layers panel.** The work area is margin 8 + a 360px
column, the top bar is padding 16, so the shared edge is 352 inside the bar. TopBar
column 0 is now a fixed 352 grid with EDIT right-aligned in it — alignment by
arithmetic instead of by eye.
**Preview undo/redo: Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z.** Models/PreviewHistory snapshots element
REFERENCES plus geometry, visibility, order and membership — a deep clone would mirror
every property of a dozen element subclasses and quietly miss the next one added.
One snapshot per gesture (pushed at drag/resize start, never in the move loop), bounded
at 50, redo survives multiple undos, cleared on layout load. Gated on EditingActive:
undo while the preview shows program output would rewrite a scene nobody is looking at.
Honest scope, in the type's doc comment: layout edits only. Colour/opacity/border/font
edits are not captured yet, so Ctrl+Z after one of those restores the last layout change.
6 tests in PreviewHistoryTests; 19 pass across it and the neighbouring UI classes; Debug
and Release both build at 0 warnings.
Creator ruling (2026-10-30):
- EDIT off + ON-AIR armed → the primary button reads "Go Live" and runs the livestream.
- EDIT on + ON-AIR armed → the same button reads "Test Stream" and runs the test broadcast.
- REC armed (or nothing armed) → "Start Recording", whatever EDIT says; there is no test
recording, and an unarmed start records locally rather than doing nothing.
So the fifth button was redundant: `ShowTestButton` no longer feeds any control. The decision is a
pure function (`Models/SessionStartDecision`) so the whole matrix is testable without a window;
`PrimaryStartCommand` follows the same kind, so label and action cannot disagree.
Guard: SessionStartDecisionTests pins the four cases, including the no-dead-ends fallback that my
first version got wrong (unarmed returned Live instead of Record — the test caught it).
Note for the v1 gate: the "hide TEST at v1" item is now satisfied by construction — the test path
is a mode of the primary button, not a separate control.
- TopBar: EDIT ToggleButton, spaced from the REC/ON-AIR segments
- MainViewModel: explicit EditingActive drives IsEditMode; YouTube go-live turns edit off, stop turns it on
- SceneThumbnailStrip: tiles fixed 196x130 and centered; dark background fills the column so its edge does not move on resize; strip row fixed 154px
- MainWindow: left column fixed at 360px; WIDTHS diagnostic log on resize
Not pushed.
- LeftPanel: SCENE LAYERS header with layer count; per-type blue icons; properties header gear; layers list min/max height; properties placeholder; list and properties indent
- SceneThumbnailStrip: names/hotkeys over the tile; PROGRAM badge with blinking red dot on the selected tile; orange border on selected and live tiles; fixed the element border override that hid the style border; reflag tiles on load
- LiveScene is now set on go-live, record start, and live transitions (it was never assigned, so IsLive never fired)
- Startup stages the scene named Starting
- DESIGN.md: color roles (red = YouTube/on-air/record, orange #ff8c3a = attention, amber = game audio/Super Chat)
- Staged live tile uses background art instead of the green LIVE placeholder
Not pushed.
Right-click now creates a transient ZoomSceneElement at z-index 1 whose pixels are a
genuine 2x magnified sample of the backdrop (live capture under art), composited into
stream/recording like any layer while the output crop stays the tier. All shapes are
centered on the click and clamped to frame; healed on load/scene-create, never persisted,
hidden from the layers list + element template (IsZoomLayer). BuildCompositorOptions is
now internal = always tier crop (test seam). ZoomFrameBuilder is a pure static sampler
(box/2 window centered on the box center, single-slot cache) proven by a banded-backdrop
test; LayerReorderPersistenceTests drag resolves rows by item since the collapsed zoom
row shifts container indices. Also books TASK 51 (webcam background Remove + Blur) and
syncs memory docs (HANDOFF, MyMistakes, indexes). Full suite: 405 passed, 0 warnings.
Chat's camera no longer greys Web Cam in Live (per-scene max, not app-wide);
TASK 26 superseded by creator directive (app-level resource model). Add Webcam
now places the existing app default without the picker; the picker runs only
for the initial selection. Removing the last placement keeps the identity
(_webcam never nulled) so Add stays offered. Startup pass adopts a solo camera
as the app default, so a clean layout offers the layer in Live/Chat at once.
Dynamic WebcamAddToolTip names the why (incl. the 'graduated to OBS' line).
Good Dog: WebcamMenuGateTests rewritten (real app + temp DB + camera seams) —
identity in Chat does not gray Live; Add in Live places same wc-1 no picker;
scene-with-placement stays gray; identity survives both removals (DB row 1).
WebcamStartupResourceTests single-lock fact asserts CanAddWebcam after adoption.
Docs same commit (ai.md supersession, TASKS.md, HANDOFF.md). 304/304, 0 warnings.
- 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.
