# HANDOFF — 2026-11-04 (TASK 3·17 — static text layers)

## State

- `main`; TASK 53 is complete and TASK 3·17 is complete in three commits: `60c4a00`, `58eb640`,
  and the final output/compositing phase.
- Text layers persist independently, edit as static multiline text, and share one cached raster between
  preview and output. The frame pump only reads the raster cache; no WPF render occurs on its thread.
- The app clean build has 0 warnings. 524 tests passed with the documented physical mouse-injection test
  and known audio test excluded; the new text renderer, preview/output, and pump-cache tests pass.
- The four untracked `Assets/llamacasty-*` files remain untouched.

## Next action

- Next action: select the next queued task from `TASKS.md`.
- Do not push absent a checkpoint request.

## Landmines

- `LayerReorderPersistenceTests.RealMouseDrag_OnTheLayerList_PersistsTheReorder` injects physical
  mouse input. Do not run it while the desktop is in use.
- Integration tests constructing `MainWindow` must set a temporary `LayoutPathOverride` and clear it in `finally`.
- Bundled FFmpeg stays outside the single-file exe (`ExcludeFromSingleFile="true"`).
