The handoff asked for the RTMP diagnostic as item 1 and claimed the next code unit was packaging. Both are now wrong, and per the map's own rule a stale handoff is worse than none because the reader trusts it. 1. DIAGNOSTIC ANSWERED, and it narrowed the question rather than closing it. ffmpeg reaches YouTube — rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/..., 7.4 MB video plus 46 KB audio muxed, no socket error. The broadcast never leaves `ready`: enableAutoStart=true was sent, yet close-out refused `complete` with 403 invalidTransition, which is only legal from `live`. Two things stay honestly unknown — the push was only 8s, and the app never polls broadcast status during a stream (only stream health), so the log cannot show whether or when it flipped. Next step is one log line plus one 60-second test. 2. Packaging is DEFERRED, not next. Creator ruling 2026-10-04: still in active development, so ship-time work waits. Item 1 of "Next" said the opposite. 3. Push state: origin/main =cc2d1efas of 2026-10-04, tree clean. Stale push state has now bitten twice here, so the line now tells the next session to verify with rev-list instead of believing the file. 4. Test count 381, not 380. 5. New landmine: the frame pump logged 86 stalls per 5s (142 lines in an 8-second window) while stats still read 301/300 frames and 0 dropped. Those two facts contradict each other; recorded as a measurement to take, not a bug to fix from the log. Startup stall (TRAX / unreachable NAS) shipped incc2d1efand is documented in ai.md; not duplicated here.
ytLlive
A creator-proof live-streaming and recording app for YouTube — native Windows (C# / WPF / .NET 8).

Design Principle
This software is so intuitive that even the most right-brained person can easily intuit and use it.
Every feature is measured against this. One-click go-live, sane YouTube defaults, visual scene building, and no dead ends — every action has a visible outcome.
Why ytLlive
OBS treats YouTube as an afterthought; SLOBS is Twitch-first with YouTube bolted on. ytLlive is designed and dedicated to YouTube livestreaming and recording, and to YouTube's specific quirks.
Account Assumption
ytLlive assumes you already have a YouTube creator account — connecting uses "Sign in with Google" to link that existing account. ytLlive does not create accounts. If you don't have a YouTube channel yet, set one up on YouTube first, then connect it here.
Audio Assumption
ytLlive uses your default microphone and desktop/game output — it never hunts for a device or contends for one. It assumes your audio is already configured and working (default input and output set, not hijacked by another app). Audio issues are a Windows/device matter outside ytLlive's scope: we don't debug, detect, or try to fix them. If it doesn't sound right, fix the system's audio settings first — it's on the OS, not on us.

Version Roadmap
v1 is the finished product (creator ruling, 2026-09-01 — there are no v1.x releases).
Everything still queueing lands in v1; anything not on the feature list is on the closed
"Out of product — permanently" list in TASKS.md — read that page before asking for a feature.
What v1 ships: the five-scene director's control surface, webcam + screen capture, media + web + text sources, chat on-stream, the social bar, mic/desktop audio with auto-duck and TRAX, local recording, variable quality tiers with auto step-down, one-click go-live + scheduling, stream resilience (auto-reconnect inside YouTube's grace, one-click back on air), built-in monetization awareness (reward capture, session reports, YPP journey tracker), Alerts — all free and ungated; the paid tier only removes the branding flash.
