User launch (2026-09-01 19:07) NRE'd in MainViewModel ctor:
1. SceneGraph (TASK 31) was 'null!'-declared, assigned mid-ctor, but Scenes is touched
~120 lines earlier — field-initialized now.
2. LeftPanel extraction (c9fd1bd) moved StaticResource users (EyeButton/EyeIconStyle)
into a UserControl while the styles stayed window-scope — invisible at parse time;
moved to Themes/Controls.xaml (app scope, the existing rule). Full audit: these were
the only two offenders (grep of Controls/*.xaml StaticResource keys vs app dictionary).
3. RoundClipInteractionTests — the second 'known failure' the map never explained: it
was two stale-test layers (window.FindName across the new UserControl namescope +
VisualTreeHelper.HitTest, which returned the IsHitTestVisible=False WebViewHostPanel
overlay for EVERY point; UIElement.InputHitTest — the real input pipeline — shows the
corner IS grabbable in both Traditional and Round). Test fixed, no product bug.
Verified: clean rebuild 0 warnings; app boots (log shows full MainWindow loaded; user
clicked + closed, zero new exceptions; real DB Webcam row = the genuine C920, untouched);
RoundClip + 6 RealApp classes pass natively per-class.
Docs: ai.md known-failure note → 246/247 (audio only); TASK 31 verification paragraph
corrected ('cannot run headless' overstated — per-class Windows-host vstest runs them);

ytLlive
A creator-proof live-streaming and recording app for YouTube — native Windows (C# / WPF / .NET 8).
Screenshot
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 subscription only removes the branding flash.
