# HANDOFF — Session State

## Branch
`task24-notifications` (from `main` @ `809c066`, which is pushed) — **dirty, uncommitted**, TASK 24 complete and green.

## Uncommitted work: TASK 24 toast notifications — COMPLETE, ready to commit

1. **Library:** `Notification.Wpf` 11.0.0 added to `ytLive.csproj` (MIT; notice #10 in `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt`). Restore pulls `Notification.CoreUI` 11.0.0 + `Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf` 1.1.142 + DI.Abstractions 10.0.8.
2. **Seam:** `Services/INotificationService.cs` (`Show(title, message, AppNotificationSeverity)` + Info/Success/Warning/Error extensions); `Services/NotificationService.cs` impl — pure `BuildRequest` mapping + `Cards` tint table, Dispatcher-marshalled Show. Host: `NotificationArea x:Name="ToastArea"` last child of MainWindow root grid (`RowSpan=4`, bottom-right above footer, `Margin="0,0,12,96"`).
3. **Call sites** (`ViewModels/MainViewModel.cs`): 5 MessageBox migrations (webcam ×2 → Warning, image read → Warning, sign-in unsuccessful → Warning / failed → Error) + 7 log-only promotions (go-live prep ×3 Error, frame-pump death Error, mic-missing Warning, premium-lapse Warning, saved-session sign-out Info). Offline license re-validation skip left log-only on purpose; SocialsDialog slot-delete confirm stays modal. `_notifications` field initialized at declaration (VM built from XAML).
4. **Tests:** unit `NotificationServiceTests` (8 cases: routing/lifetimes/tints) + the ONE integration `NotificationAreaIntegrationTests.Info_Auto_Dismisses_And_Error_Sticks` (real window-hosted area; visual-tree reads marshalled via `_app.Run`).
5. Build **0 warnings**; **221 total, 218 pass** — only the 3 pre-existing failures below.

## ⚠️ Landmines

- **User verdict (2026-08-23):** "The AI wrote fucked up code after repeatedly and intentionally misunderstanding instructions." Extends the ai.md 2026-08-22 audit flag — trust nothing from those sessions without manual verification.
- **Pre-existing test failures are THREE (not caused by this branch):**
  1. `AudioPipelineTests.Mix_HonorsProviderGains_AndGameMute_KillsTheLoopback`
  2. `SourceNamingTests.Duplicate_Sources_Get_Next_Free_Numbered_Name` (StagedScene seeds a "Game Capture" the test doesn't filter)
  3. `SceneCatalogTests.EnforceBackgroundPolicy_Sets_Flag_For_All_Scenes` (asserts against elements never inserted)
- **Real-MainWindow tests MUST set `LayoutPathOverride`** (ai.md) — DB pollution wiped real data once.
- Notification.Wpf gotchas (recorded in ai.md/TASKS.md): area routing by XAML `Name`; unknown AreaName silently drops; `NeverExpires()` = `TimeSpan.MaxValue`; `ToHex()` = `#AARRGGBB`.

## Next steps
1. Commit this branch (code + docs + notices, one commit), then merge/PR per Good Dog Rule (one integration test ✓).
2. User visual pass on Windows: toasts look right bottom-right, error sticky with close button, no overlap with footer/chat.
3. Then the stale background tests repair queue (unit-level): SourceNaming filter + SceneCatalog policy test.
