Creator ruling 2026-11-01. One SKU, one price, Steam does the selling. - Pro is a one-time Steam DLC on the free app: $79 introductory, $99 on a stated date, announced where the price is shown and actually raised. - The subscription is retired. The reasoning is in decisions.md: no service behind a monthly fee (no servers, no cloud, no content), ~1-3 subscribers per 1,000 installs against 5-8% churn, and it carried the most expensive code in the product. - Polar goes dormant. Its customer-portal design is recorded, not built. The "freemium on Steam, convert on Polar, Valve gets nothing" proposal is rejected: in-app purchases must use the Steam Wallet, so it risks the listing to save ~$24 a sale. - Entitlement collapses to `steamDlcOwned`. No lease, no key, no portal, no device limit; the greyed tier opens the Steam store overlay, so every purchase stays inside Valve's own surface. - The site publishes the model and links the store page. It takes no payment and hosts no binaries. - The $400 lifetime died with the subscription it anchored. Founding 200 died with the coupons and passes it needed. Costs: $115 fixed year one; $79 nets $55.30 after Steam, so three sales cover the year.

TASKS — the active queue
One line per live item; the detail lives in
TASKS/task-*.md. Done work is inTASKS/archive.md(2026-10-29 snapshot of the old catalogue). Retired decisions are indocs/ai/decisions.md. Markers: ☐ queued · 🔶 in progress · ⏳ blocked · ⏸ deferred · ❌ retired.
The surge — six days, all remaining coding (2026-11-02 → 11-07)
Every open coding row is assigned below. No later phase, no "after launch" list. Target is 6–8 units a day (above the measured 3–5 baseline — that is the point of a surge). If a day overruns, the smallest item moves to the next day; a launch blocker never moves.
Rules, every unit, no exceptions: one Good Dog test · clean build 0 warnings · per-class tests
green · ./scripts/verify.sh on the declared scope · commit with the doc fact it falsifies
corrected. No new scope mid-week; anything discovered goes on a list for day 6.
| Day | Units | Done when |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Mon — licensing | IEntitlement seam + Steam DLC impl + fake · HasProOutput on the seam · greyed tier entries · licence UI four states + 7/1/0-day notices + "monthly is on the website, not Steam" · licence ID in About · system messages (SystemMessage/MessageCenter strip) · Debug-only InternalsVisibleTo |
Fake drives all four states; Steam-less launch is the free profile; About shows the licence ID |
| 2 · Tue — release blockers | Visibility picker + UpdateBroadcast · StreamConfig defaults · TASK 53 output contract (geometry test per tier, 9:16 e2e) · 9·5 webcam identity key · Move transitions (per-layer carry-across-scenes) |
A public broadcast starts and changes while live; every tier pinned by a test |
| 3 · Wed — resilience | TASK 32: blip retry → measured grace → amber RECONNECTING → one-click Back on air → fragmented MP4 → ingest pre-flight · 33 bandwidth step-down | Killing the network mid-broadcast recovers without ending it |
| 4 · Thu — content & media | 3·17 Text layer · 21 media acquisition wiring + file picker + loop/volume UI · 49 chat profanity filter · 34 scheduled streams | Text layer renders/persists; media file plays, loops, has volume; scheduled stream created |
| 5 · Fri — data & settings | 3·20 RewardEvent persistence + superChatEvents.list backfill · 39·2 YPP slice 2 · 37 defaults-vs-current split · 35 scene-linked audio · 40·A/C/D settings round · 55·2–3 disk hygiene |
Session report reads persisted events; defaults can be reverted; temp clips cleaned |
| 6 · Sat — finish & prove | 50 publish recording · preview undo (Ctrl+Z) · 14 creator feedback batch · 36 gold pass · full sweep: clean build, whole per-class suite, publish.sh artifact, EULA/privacy/notices in the artifact · commit + push |
Gold pass list empty; artifact stages; suite green; pushed |
Day 6 is the only polish day. No polish passes before it — a surge dies on cosmetic passes taken in the middle.
Next up (after the surge slice)
TASK 3·17 — the Text layer is scheduled in the surge (day 4). Placeholder detail retained for
the unit itself: 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. Text content, font family/size/weight/style, colour, alignment, drag/resize,
persisted; renderer mirrors Services/ChatBoxRenderer.cs.
Queue
Every open coding row here is assigned to a surge day above. Rows still marked ☐ on 2026-11-07 are a failure of the plan, not a scheduling note.

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)
