# TASK 35 — Scene-linked audio: "scenes remember the room" (queued 2026-09-01; spec approved by the creator same day)

> Catalog: [`TASKS.md`](../TASKS.md) — status and requirements live here.


**Goal:** the BRB scene mutes the mic; the Chat scene brings it back. The creator stops fiddling with
audio at transitions — the scene carries the room state. OBS needs scripts/plugins; native = the
creator-proof pitch.

1. ☐ `Scene` gains nullable `SceneMutesMic` / `SceneMutesDesktop` — `null` = don't touch (the default;
   scenes are passive until told). Schema column bump + roundtrip.
2. ☐ Applied on **live transitions only** (thumbnail click / hotkey), ONCE at entry — never on
   offline staging (no surprise stream-state edits while auditioning).
3. ☐ The creator is boss: a manual mute/unmute mid-scene is never overridden until the next entry.
4. ☐ BRB ships `SceneMutesMic = true`; other scenes default `null` — creator's choice.
5. ☐ Edit UI: two checkboxes in the scene's Properties section (left panel, edit mode) — no new chrome.
6. ☐ Test (the ONE): transition applies scene state; `null` leaves state untouched; manual override
   survives until the next entry.
