# HANDOFF — Session State

## Branch / Commit State

**`main`**, working tree is **DIRTY** — ready to commit. See "Changes" below.

No feature branches pre-1.0: all work lands on `main` per work unit.

## Changes (uncommitted, ready to commit)

**Gear menu cleanup + App Settings + single Start button (TASK 30):**
- Removed Gear-menu `Save Layout`/`Save Layout As…`/`Open Layout…` + dead VM commands/methods.
- App Settings panel: "Default Location for Recordings" with Browse + Use Downloads reset.
- Single Start button (`Content="Start"` in XAML; `PrimaryButtonText`/`IsStreamingStart` removed).
- Fallback chain: configured → `%USERPROFILE%\Downloads` → `MyVideos`.
- ONE fallback test `DefaultRecordFolder_Falls_Back_To_Downloads`.

**Socials button + hover glow (new):**
- Socials button moved from footer (scenes/sources column) to preview bottom row, left of
  TRAX button, inside a horizontal StackPanel. `MouseEnter`/`MouseLeave` handlers pulse
  the `SocialBarElement` `DropShadowEffect` (BlurRadius 24→48, Opacity 0.7→1.0 sine wave
  at 30ms tick). `MouseLeave` restores original values.

**Bug fix:** `TextBox` binding `RecordFolderDisplay` changed to `Mode=OneWay` (get-only
property caused TwoWay crash on startup).

**Files touched:** `MainWindow.xaml`, `MainWindow.xaml.cs`, `ViewModels/MainViewModel.cs`,
`ytLive.Tests/LayoutStorePersistenceTests.cs`, `TASKS.md`, `HANDOFF.md`.

## Landmines

- **TextBox.Mode=OneWay** is required for `RecordFolderDisplay` binding (get-only computed property).
- **Pre-existing test failures (do not chase):** `AudioPipelineTests.Mix_HonorsProviderGains…` +
  `RoundClipInteractionTests.Round_Clip_Corner_Is_Grabbable…`.
- **App running locks `ytLive.exe`** → build fails MSB3027.
- **Test suite hangs** when running full suite (WPF `RealAppHost` dispatcher deadlock); individual
  tests pass in isolation. Investigate before relying on full-suite results.
- **Pre-commit gate:** `./scripts/verify.sh` — clean build (0 warnings) + full tests + scope check.

## Todo state

- TASK 18: shipped. Remaining = running-app verification (creator).
- TASK 21: Increment A shipped (`eba6af5`). Decoder blocked on ffmpeg.
- TASK 22 (audio sync offset): not started.
- TASK 30: gear cleanup + record location + single Start — ready to commit.
- Monetization: deferred (creator rethinking price/subscription model).
- Socials hover glow: new, ready to commit.
