Four things derived this session superseded what the plan said twenty-four hours earlier,
and the docs are corrected where each one died:
**Licensing needs no server.** Polar's customer-portal endpoints authenticate on the key
itself plus the public organization_id; the org access token is only needed to create
products. Channel binding rides in `conditions: {channel_id}`, re-checked on every
validate — so the "claim page" (a hosted OAuth flow that wrote the UC id onto the key)
and the key database it implied are deleted. Device management, key rotation and
subscription auto-revocation are Polar's; four states, one lease, no callback endpoint.
**Signing is deferred until two subscribers.** It never removes the day-one SmartScreen
warning (EV's instant-bypass died in 2024), so buying it before revenue buys only the
publisher line. Renamed to Azure Artifact Signing, $9.99/mo Basic, and it requires a
paid Azure subscription. Year-one fixed cost drops from ~$135 to ~$15.
**The Store account is free.** Microsoft waived the $19 individual fee and removed the
$99 company fee in May 2026, which makes the Store the only zero-cost route to a
Microsoft-signed install — the free answer to SmartScreen, noted beside the paid one.
**Support is a filter, not a promise.** Email, best effort, no SLA, refunds on request
without argument; no training service, no helpdesk. A repeated question becomes a
training video on @llamacasty, which is content and monetization instead of a ticket.
GitHub issues on the releases repo are the deliberate friction.
Also settled: binaries live in a second Gitea repo (`llamacasty-releases`) push-mirrored
to a public GitHub repo — issues and assets public, code private, one publish direction
(a git mirror carries refs, not GitHub Release assets); `@llamacasty` is
standard-verified with intermediate features, so live streaming, >15 min uploads and
custom thumbnails work today and no SIM or ID is needed; and OAuth comes out of Testing
mode by publishing the app (100-user lifetime cap, no 7-day token death).
TASKS.md now opens with the four-day surge slice — artifact shape, output gate,
entitlement seam, real-machine day — because those are what the first public release
waits on. HANDOFF.md rewritten. MyMistakes.md gains the Polar recipe and the
"verify means three different things" entry. MARCOM.md gains the support→content loop
and the surface roles.

## Next up
|
||
|
||
**The surge week (4 days, in this order).** Not every row below — this slice only, because it is
|
||
what the first public release is waiting on:
|
||
|
||
1. **Artifact shape** — `LlamaCasty.exe` rename (three pack URIs), `scripts/publish.sh`,
|
||
portable mode. Ends with a zip that runs on a clean machine.
|
||
2. **OutputProfile gate** — ≤921,600 px / ≤30 fps for the stream **and** the recorder, greyed tier
|
||
entries, plus the TASK 53 geometry tests that pin every tier.
|
||
3. **Entitlement seam** — `IEntitlement` against Polar's customer-portal API with a fake for tests,
|
||
`--activate` parsing, system messages.
|
||
4. **Real-machine day** — licence UI skeleton, a clean-profile install, a test broadcast.
|
||
|
||
Detail: [`commercial.md`](docs/ai/commercial.md) → Output profile / Entitlement;
|
||
[`Distribution.md`](Distribution.md). Day 5, if the four go well: the visibility picker (a hard
|
||
prerequisite for any *public* build).
|
||
|
||
**TASK 3·17 — the Text layer** stays the first product row after the surge. 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 |
|

|---|---|---|---|
|

|
||
| 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) |

|
||
| 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) |

||
| 53 | ☐ | Output-format contract: pin every tier with a geometry test, prove 9:16 end-to-end, recorded file matches output | [`task-53`](TASKS/task-53-output-formats.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's customer-portal API (org ID public, org token never in the app), `conditions: {channel_id}`, 2 activations, 7–14 day lease, `--activate` CLI. **No claim page, no server** | [`commercial`](docs/ai/commercial.md) |
|
||

|
||
| — | ☐ | **Packaging** — rename, `scripts/publish.sh`, portable mode; then `llamacasty-releases` repo + Gitea→GitHub push mirror, `gh release create`, winget manifest. Signing **deferred** until two subscribers | [`Distribution.md`](Distribution.md) |
|
||
| — | ☐ | **Training-video series** — capture the first 8–10 recurring questions as videos on `@llamacasty`; each is documentation, channel content and monetization at once | MARCOM → support→content loop |
|
||
| 9·5 | ☐ | Webcam identity key reconciliation | [`task-09`](TASKS/task-09-live-stream-management.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.
