# HANDOFF — 2026-11-02 (Logs tab + test sweep)

## State

- `main`; all work is committed locally, not pushed.
- Non-edit left panel has Live Chat and Logs tabs. Logs shows the newest 500 AppLog entries from
  this process only; file format and rotation are unchanged. Feature commit: `9fa06c6`.
- The 13 failures from the prior full-suite run were resolved in separate focused commits; see
  `git log` for each test-failure task.
- `./scripts/verify.sh` passes: clean app build, 0 warnings, 522/522 tests, scope check.

## Next action

Day 1 queued item: SystemMessage + MessageCenter strip. Keep one integration test per change. Do not
push absent a milestone/checkpoint request.

## Landmines

- Build/test with Windows `dotnet.exe`; full suite can hang in WASAPI teardown.
- Any integration test constructing `MainWindow` must use a temporary `LayoutPathOverride` and
  clear it in `finally`.
- Debug-only `InternalsVisibleTo` remains an outstanding release check.
- Bundled FFmpeg stays outside the single-file exe (`ExcludeFromSingleFile="true"`).
