Feeds TASK 48. Records which policies bind, which don't, and why β€” read it before re-litigating distribution | --- ## Open items (at a glance) ### Creator-reported batch (2026-09-26) β€” proof-of-concept round, recordings used as the reference The creator is **not** getting YouTube private test recordings saved, so local recordings are the proof of concept for compositing; the live path is assumed to share it. **Verified true, not assumed:** one `_framePump` is built in the `MainViewModel` ctor with a single `brandFlash:` callback, and BOTH `Streaming.Operations.cs:68` (go-live) and `:199` (record) call that same `StartAsync` β€” there is no second encoder path needing a "redirect". Record+simulcast is one ffmpeg with two outputs. 1. βœ… **Recording save dialog: Cancel discards** β€” was silently saving under the default name. Enter accepts the default; Cancel/Escape/X **deletes** the footage and names the file if the delete fails. `MainViewModel.CompleteRecordingSave` (internal) + `ytLive.Tests/RecordingSaveDialogTests.cs`. 2. βœ… **Brand flash in ALL scenes + in recordings** β€” was gated on `IsLive` via `UpdateLiveVisuals()`, so a recording made without ever going live carried no credit. The presenter is now `Start()`ed once in the `MainViewModel` ctor and never stopped on live-state churn; the licence gate rides on `IsPremium` β†’ `Enabled` as before. Also fixed the premium-edge/restart trap that app-lifetime exposed. Tests: `BrandFlashOutputTests` (12 facts) incl. `Credit_IsComposited_WithNoLiveSession_AndSoARecordingCarriesIt` and `ADowngradeMidSession_RestartsTheCadenceTimer`. 3. βœ… **Ticker confined to the alert box** β€” was a global 1920Γ—48 bar at the top edge; the creator wants it over the *Stream Alerts video*. The strip now renders at the alert box's own size and carries the box's origin on a new `VideoFrame.Placement`; every blit site reads `OriginX/OriginY` instead of a literal `0, 0`, and the preview element is bound to the same rect so preview and output cannot drift. No alert box β‡’ no ticker. Height clamped to the 48px strip; `CopyStrip` clips rows so a short box can't overrun the buffer. Tests: 3 new facts incl. an output-side `SceneCompositor.Render` check that the pixels land in the box and NOT at the top-left corner. 4. ☐ **Two instances still refuse to run.** `InstanceProfile` isolates layout/auth/log/WebView, but `FfmpegLocator._toolsDir` is still the hardcoded shared `%APPDATA%\ytLlive\tools` and both instances can `Directory.CreateDirectory` + `ExtractBinaries` into it. Also the launch method is unconfirmed: `dotnet run` while the first app holds `bin/…/ytLive.exe` dies with `MSB3027` before any instance starts β€” that is a build-output lock, not a log conflict. 5. ☐ **Post-session efficacy report** β€” on end of stream *or* recording, report what worked and what failed, including the **dropped frames** the creator saw. `CurrentHealth` already tracks `DroppedFrames`/`StreamDuration`; `SessionTeardownTests` is the natural home for the roll-up. - **TASK 3** β€” items 16 (Text source) + 20 (RewardEvent capture β†’ SQLite, Alerts' persistence half) open; **17 (Alerts) is DONE via TASK 43 (2026-09-24) β€” native six-event alert box** - **TASK 9** β€” item 5 open (webcam identity key reconciliation) - **TASK 10** β€” Velopack update URL pending β†’ **now owned by TASK 48** (retires if the Store handles updates) - **Shipping / release build (creator-queued 2026-09-26)** β€” no publish config exists yet: the csproj has only `OutputType=WinExe` + `TargetFramework`, so a plain `dotnet publish` is **framework-dependent** (customer needs the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime preinstalled). `Distribution.md` targets a self-contained ~80–120MB `LlamaCasty.exe` uploaded to Polar as a File Download benefit. Two deliverables: 1. **`scripts/publish.sh`** wrapping `dotnet publish ytLive.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true -o ./publish/win-x64`, and **asserting the output contains no test/xunit artifacts**. (The compile side needs nothing β€” the tests are a separate project with a one-way reference, plus explicit `` in `ytLive.csproj`; the risk is *packaging*: `ytLive.Tests/bin/.../ytLive.exe` exists and would ship a Debug build + test DLLs if anyone ever zips a bin folder by hand. Never copy folders; always publish.) 2. **Condition `InternalsVisibleTo("ytLive.Tests")` to Debug only** (`ytLive.csproj:78-82` is unconditional, so it ships in Release) β€” it hands the test assembly name to anyone decompiling and advertises that `internal` members are externally reachable, which conflicts with the obfuscation posture in `Distribution.md` Β§1.2. 3. **Decide the shipped exe name.** `Distribution.md` promises the customer `LlamaCasty.exe`; `ytLive` actually publishes `ytLive.exe`. Renaming the AssemblyName is 4 lines (1 csproj + 3 pack URIs that spell the assembly name β€” `MainWindow.xaml:14` is the **window icon**, so missing it ships a broken taskbar/Alt-Tab icon). Namespaces stay `ytLive.*`; the 230-file re-brand is NOT wanted. Do **NOT** touch the `%APPDATA%\ytLlive` folder β€” breaking (orphans users' layout DB). See the naming table in `ai.md`. Do **NOT** add `-p:PublishTrimmed=true`: WPF is not trim-compatible and it fails at runtime (BAML/XAML resource resolution), not at build time. `PublishReadyToRun` is safe. - **TASK 12** β€” queued future - **TASK 13** β€” queued post-v1 - **TASK 14** β€” Branch 2 shipped; branch 3+ in progress - **TASK 21** β€” UI picker slice remaining (Windows-only verification pending) - **TASK 32–36** β€” all queued future work (2026-09-01) - **Webcam resource lifecycle (2026-09-17)** β€” startup slice shipped (OS poll at start, single-camera auto-lock, persistent red alert in the Layers panel on lock failure, re-polls until resolved); gate slice shipped same day β€” webcam = app-level default, one per stream per scene, Add places the default directly, offered only when a camera is ATTAINABLE (identity + live session, not just a saved identity), app base lock keeps the session after the last placement is removed, startup adopts a solo camera as default. TASK 26's app-wide gate superseded by creator directive. The App Settings webcam selector is now **TASK 40 Unit A** (plan saved 2026-09-22). Remaining next slice (user-queued): static (+) catalog rows (Background, YouTubeEvent, quoted labels) with reason-greying. - **TASK 40 β€” App Settings round** β€” plan saved 2026-09-22 (`TASKS/task-40-app-settings-round.md`), four units, one Good Dog test each: **A** active web camera section under Recordings (Change… sub-menu = live enumeration incl. vcams; Tune… config dialog via `ICameraControlProbe`, live-only tweaks), **B** gear moved top-left right of the wordmark (left-click App Settings, right-click Bug/Feature/About), **C** persist output resolution default + surface default scene transition/duration + confirm-before-End, **D** accent/theme color (consolidate 69 hardcoded accent sites into a DynamicResource brush + picker). **Unit B (gear) is DONE early** β€” shipped 2026-09-22 as part of TASK 42 (top bar redesign): gear top-right of the brand, single click = the Settings/Bug/ Feature/About menu, removed from BottomBar. A + C + D remain queued. - **TASK 37** β€” queued (2026-09-20): split the layout data into a `default` set (the established DB) and a `current` set carrying the build-id; a saved `current` is honored only by the same build-id, otherwise defaults load β€” enables one-click revert to defaults too. Capture needed work OUT of current scope here; do not bolt it onto an in-flight change. - **TASK 41 β€” Test Stream mode** β€” DONE 2026-09-22 (`TASKS/task-41-test-stream-mode.md`): a Test button next to Start runs the real private-only go-live pipeline with `IsTestStream` set, and the TEST drawer (right rail, third tab) hosts Mock Chat Input (real `liveChat/messages.insert` β†’ ~2s poll round-trip renders on the overlay) + simulated Subscriber/New Member/Super Chat events that inject through the poller's `MessageReceived` seam (`IsSimulated` β€” YouTube's insert API only creates text, so these are local-only by design; styled member/SuperChat rows validate the chat overlay). **Real Stinger/TTS alert widgets resolved by TASK 43's native alert box.** - **TASK 43 β€” Native events & alerts** β€” **DONE 2026-09-24** (`TASKS/task-43-native-alerts.md`): StreamElements replaced with NATIVE YouTube events. Chat parity half: `YouTubeChatService` now decodes all SIX `liveChat/messages` event types (`ChatEventKind` on `ChatMessage`) β€” the four formerly-empty event rows fixed β€” and re-arms its poll on the server's `pollingIntervalMillis` (streamList semantics, clamp 1000–6000ms, `maxResults=2000`). Alerts half: a new **`SourceType.AlertBox`** ("Stream Alerts", one per layout) is an OBS-style celebration zone where the six events play **six unique branded animations** (`AlertRenderer` + the `AlertOverlayLayer` component; 33ms ticker, deterministic `Advance` test clock; idle = transparent). Creator rulings baked in: free-sub mention = chat row only (no sub alert β€” YouTube emits none), NO viewer count, every alert card carries the "made with LlamaCasty!" brand line. - **TASK 44 β€” TEST-tab chat fix** β€” **DONE 2026-09-25** (`TASKS/task-44-test-chat-fix.md`): the open creator report ("I still cannot post a chat message in the TEST tab") was a single cause: `GetBroadcastLiveChatIdAsync` read `contentDetails.liveChatId` (lifeChatId lives in **`snippet`**) AND ran before the broadcast was live (RTMP push flips readyβ†’live via enableAutoStart; YouTube only populates the id on live broadcasts β€” official GetLiveChatId.java sample lists broadcastStatus=active). Fixed by reading `snippet.liveChatId` and polling with a bounded retry after the frame pump starts; chat stays non-fatal. - **TASK 47 take four (2026-09-26)** β€” the announcement strip was **output-only** (a frame-pump callback with no preview consumer, since a master-width global overlay cannot ride a per-element `Image`) and the marquee was paced at a fixed `140px/s` (~17s per pass, so a 10s alert showed the text once). Now: a `tickerPreviewSink` publishes it to a global `AlertTickerElement` in `PreviewPane.xaml` (mirroring `SocialBarElement`), and the creator picks **Scroll / Flash / Solid** in the panel, with Scroll paced in *reads per alert* (3 inside a 10s alert) rather than px/s. 15 new facts; suite 339/339. - **TASK 47 β€” Alert box video** β€” **DONE 2026-09-26** (`TASKS/task-47-alert-videos.md`): the TASK 43 alert box now plays a **video** on every alert β€” a shipped built-in mp4 (`Assets/alert-default.mp4`, stamped into the `Asset` table at startup) that the creator can swap for their own file via the new Stream Alerts section (path only, never stored in the DB; six `AlertRenderer` animations remain the fallback). Per-alert decode via a new `IAlertClipDecoder` fx (ffmpeg rawvideo bgra + f32le pipes, real-time paced, disposed at drain); ~0.3s fade-in/out rides the alpha envelope + scales the audio (mixed into the live stream at unity β€” **no duck**, a per-alert Volume slider instead); an auto-composed message **ticker** ("Funder β€” Super Chat Β· $10.00") scrolls along the very top of the frame (never-baked dynamic overlay threaded through SceneCompositor + FramePump). Creator rulings: custom + fallback (not either/or), ticker on top, no ducking. - **TASK 36 item 6 (release engineering) is now TASK 48** (2026-09-27) β€” code signing, the installer, and the Velopack update URL have one owner instead of three scattered mentions. **EULA draft/review and the THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES license-texts gate stay in TASK 36 item 6**, as does the agreed build-posture ceiling (HARDENED + MOCK_REWARDS, additive-only). - **TASK 48 β€” distribution & packaging** β€” **⏳ the route decision belongs to the creator.** Research is done and MSIX is the front-runner; the four real combinations (Store+Store IAP / Store+Polar / Polar-hosted+own cert / dominated Store-EXE) and their cert costs are tabulated in `TASKS/research-store-certification.md` Β§3. Two things are settled and unblocked: **(a) bundle ffmpeg instead of downloading it** β€” `FfmpegLocator` currently downloads an unsigned exe from GitHub and runs it, which is Store policy 10.2.2 (dynamic code inclusion) *and* is the root cause of the 2026-09-01 expired-pin 404; **(b) the `Distribution.md` EV claim is dead** β€” Microsoft removed the SmartScreen EV bypass in March 2024, so paying $400+ buys what $150 buys. Full-trust MSIX is viable (mediumIL, not AppContainer, and the three technical disqualifiers β€” drivers, per-user services, elevation β€” are all clear). Packaging, Velopack removal, WACK, the demo account, the privacy policy and the IARC questionnaire are all specified in the task file and waiting. - **TASK 49 β€” chat profanity filter** β€” queued, not blocked, size S. Local, on-device, **non-persistent**, opt-in, **user-supplied word list (never a hardcoded slur list)**, and it must **never match the SuperChat amount or reward fields** (financial data, Store 10.5.5). The non-persistence half is the same property that makes the 11.12 UGC certification answer strong, so **no future chat-history/moderation-log/analytics feature may quietly break it.** --- ## 1.0 gates (do these before the first shipped build) - **Kill the dev multi-instance affordance.** `Helpers/InstanceProfile.cs` is already entirely `#if DEBUG`, so a Release build ships as `DataRoot => DefaultRoot` / `WebViewDataFolder => null`. Nothing to do but *keep it that way* β€” and re-prove it: `InstanceIsolationTests.TheAlternateProfile_IsConfinedToTheDebugBuild` (source-level, always runs) plus a Release build in which the `InstanceVariable` **field** is absent from metadata. ⚠️ Do NOT grep the binary for `YTLIVE_INSTANCE` β€” consts are inlined and appear in neither build. - **TASK 36 is now shipped** β€” the branding flash composites into recordings and the stream. Test VODs from an unlicensed instance carry the credit; use a license key for clean captures. - Still queued from earlier: `scripts/publish.sh` (self-contained win-x64, no test artifacts, Debug-only `InternalsVisibleTo`, no WPF trimming), and the `LlamaCasty.exe` assembly rename (three pack URIs incl. `MainWindow.xaml:14` β€” do not rename `%APPDATA%\ytLlive`). - Decide the open business question: `OverlayHost.xaml` copy says Polar unlocks *alerts* too, but alerts are not gated by `IsPremium`. Either fix the copy or gate the alerts β€” do not leave it. --- ## YouTube Live API research facts See [`TASKS/research-youtube-api.md`](TASKS/research-youtube-api.md) β€” authoritative facts for v3 build. --- ## Out of product β€” permanently These were explicitly ruled out: - **D3D11 swap compositor** (superseded by software compositor; TASK 3 item 16) - **Background removal** (ONNX/DirectML; TASK 3 item 19) - **OBS-style source expansion** (game capture, browser source, media playlist, VLC, color-key, MIDI β€” the minimal source set is deliberate; creators who need more have graduated to OBS) - **Multi-layout** (auto-save, single layout; multi-layout = OBS territory) - **Cross-process stream resume** (API makes it impossible; creator ruling 2026-09-01)
