gramps 7827d239e2 docs(commercial): one source of truth for the money — prices, entitlement, channels
The commercial plan was spread over five documents written in five different weeks,
and they contradicted each other: product.md sold the Store, decisions.md called the
Store dead then re-opened, Distribution.md (736 lines) still described Polar as a
download host, MARCOM.md quoted "no subscription" next to a paid tier, and README.md
promised "free forever". An outsider could not tell what ships.

docs/ai/commercial.md is now the only place money is decided: free = whole app at a
921,600 px / 30 fps output profile covering the recording as well as the stream; Pro =
$10/mo or $400 lifetime through Polar, key bound to the buyer's YouTube channel ID via
a claim page, 2 activations, 7–14 day lease with offline grace, fail closed, never
downgrade a running stream; one portable zip + winget primary, Steam and the Store
parked; Azure Trusted Signing (~$9.99/mo), no EV; Founding 200 promo; ~$135/yr costs;
anti-piracy posture and what is permanently rejected.

Everything else now points at it instead of restating it:
- product.md — money sections replaced with pointers; packaging rewritten to
  winget-first, Store parked; signing updated to Trusted Signing.
- decisions.md — graveyard with cause of death for free-forever, the Store ordering,
  the updater, and the 2026-10-30 reversal of the quality-ceiling rejection.
- Distribution.md — rewritten to release mechanics only (artifact, GitHub Releases,
  winget manifest, signing, checklist, takedown): 736 → 120 lines.
- TASKS.md — TASK 54 rewritten, TASK 48's route settled, TASK 10 superseded, five new
  rows (entitlement seam, output-profile gate, licence UI, system messages, packaging).
- README.md — "free forever" replaced with the real split.
- capture.md — obs-backgroundremoval is GPL-3.0 and so licence-INCOMPATIBLE since the
  proprietary EULA; the old "compatible" line was falsified by that change.
- TASKS/task-10, task-48, task-51, task-54 — superseded-banner at the top of each, so
  none of them reads as current policy.
- HANDOFF.md — rewritten: plan settled, next code unit is the entitlement seam.

MARCOM.md and MONETIZATION.md (gitignored) were corrected in place: policy pointer at
the top of each, the flash removed from every live claim, the Polar fee break-even
corrected to ~$900/mo, and the projections flagged as written against a dead model.

## Next up
**TASK 3·17 — the Text layer.** The `TextOverlay` source type exists as a placeholder and nothing
else does: `AddSource` creates it 0×0, all four compositor paths `continue` past it, `FramePump`'s
hash skips it, it is not draggable, and it has no text/font/colour properties or persistence.
The unit: text content, font family/size/weight/style, colour, alignment, drag/resize, persisted;
renderer mirrors `Services/ChatBoxRenderer.cs`. One Good Dog test.
## Queue
| Task | Status | Scope | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3·17 | ☐ **NEXT** | **Text layer** — content, font family/size/weight/style, colour, alignment, drag/resize, persisted | [`task-03`](TASKS/task-03-capture-pipeline.md) |
| 21 | 🔶 | Media source: acquisition wiring + file picker + loop/volume UI (decoder, manager, pacing, loop all shipped — **no `AcquireAsync` caller exists**) | [`task-21`](TASKS/task-21-media-source.md) |
| — | ☐ | Transitions **Move**: per-layer carry-across-scenes flag, per-scene placement, fixed z band | [`ui-surface`](docs/ai/ui-surface.md) |
| 55·2–3 | ☐ | Disk hygiene: delete `%TEMP%` alert clips on close + sweep at startup; low-disk guard before REC (slice 1 shipped) | [`task-55`](TASKS/task-55-disk-hygiene.md) |
| 40·A/C/D | ☐ | App Settings: active-camera picker; persist output resolution + surface transition defaults + confirm-before-End; accent consolidation | [`task-40`](TASKS/task-40-app-settings-round.md) |
| 3·20 | ☐ | RewardEvent persistence: canonical `RewardEvents` table + `superChatEvents.list` 30-day backfill (the session report and journey read it) | [`task-03`](TASKS/task-03-capture-pipeline.md) |
| 32 | ☐ | Stream resilience: blip retry → measured grace + amber "RECONNECTING" → one-click Back on air → fragmented MP4 → ingest pre-flight | [`task-32`](TASKS/task-32-stream-resilience.md) |
| 33 | ☐ | Bandwidth auto step-down: pure policy over dropped-frame rate, one-way within a broadcast | [`task-33`](TASKS/task-33-bandwidth-step-down.md) |

| 54 | 🔶 | Freemium: EULA + privacy shipped; **no licence path built** — needs the entitlement seam, the output-profile cap and the licence UI below; site copy still says free forever | [`task-54`](TASKS/task-54-marcom-free-merch.md) |
| — | ☐ | **Entitlement seam** — `IEntitlement` over Polar activate/validate/deactivate, channel-ID match, 2 activations, 7–14 day lease, `--activate` CLI | [`commercial`](docs/ai/commercial.md) |
| — | ☐ | **OutputProfile gate** — ≤921,600 px / ≤30 fps for stream **and** recording, greyed tier entries, live re-resolve, never mid-stream | [`commercial`](docs/ai/commercial.md) |

| 14 | 🔶 | Creator feedback batch — branch 3+ | [`task-14`](TASKS/task-14-creator-feedback-batch.md) |
| — | ☐ | Small: `StreamConfig` defaults (`TargetBitrate=6000`, `1920x1080`) are stale — the dropdown drives `StreamHealth` | this line |
| 36 | ☐ | **Gold pass** — the v1 gate, always the last unit (see 1.0 gates) | [`task-36`](TASKS/task-36-gold-pass.md) |
| 48 | ⏸ | Distribution & packaging — route settled 2026-10-31 (winget/portable first; Steam + Store parked). Build steps: [`Distribution.md`](Distribution.md); starts after the entitlement seam | [`task-48`](TASKS/task-48-distribution-msix.md) |
| 10 | ❌ | Retired 2026-10-08; superseded by the TASK 54 rows above — the Polar design it described is rebuilt as a lease (`commercial.md`), not revived as written | [`task-10`](TASKS/task-10-monetization.md) |
## Pending the creator's hands (not programming)
- ✅ App Settings grouping + right-click gear — reported working 2026-10-29.
- ✅ Transition picker/durations, Wipe, preview + program transitions — reported working 2026-10-29.
- ✅ Brand logo layer — reported working 2026-10-29.
- ⏳ Vertical-tier camera check (Live tile inside the band, Chat rect-only) — outstanding.
- ⏳ **Webcam cadence**: a Release take in the failing geometry (vertical tier first) blocks Units 1–2.
No fix until a reading names the stage.
## 1.0 gates (before the first shipped build)
- **Visibility picker** — replace the always-Private lock, hide the TEST button, and wire
`UpdateBroadcast` in the same unit (it is the only code that can change a broadcast's privacy).
- **Kill the dev multi-instance affordance** — `Helpers/InstanceProfile.cs` is already `#if DEBUG`;
re-prove it on a Release build.
- **Release engineering** — `scripts/publish.sh` (self-contained win-x64, no test artifacts),
Debug-only `InternalsVisibleTo`, the `LlamaCasty.exe` assembly rename (three pack URIs, incl.
`MainWindow.xaml:14`), full license texts beside `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt` (TASK 4 req 9).
- **Gold pass** (TASK 36): the screens/layers audit, native-Windows verification, and the
branding-flash decision.
