gramps ec6a5ca466 docs(queue): six veggies, then the new work; scheduling and publishing retired
Creator ruling 2026-11-09: finish the queue before the new features, gold pass always last.

**Retired (platform's surface, not ours):**
- 34 scheduled streams — YouTube owns scheduling *and* the reminder that makes it worth anything.
- 50 publish recording — Studio owns upload (resumable, quota-aware, explains rejections), and an
  in-app uploader would widen the OAuth consent to whole-channel video management for one convenience.
  The app adds "Show in folder" instead.

**New tasks:** 65 replay clips (the creator-side buffer YouTube does not give you), 66 timed ticker
messages, 67 per-event alert videos, 68 edit-while-live + first-run On-Air.

**TASK 65 spec** is the interesting one: 15 s is a clip (10/15/20, default 15); the ring holds encrypted
*encoded* fragments in RAM — raw 1080p frames would be ~7.4 GB for 15 s — so there is no steady disk
write and no crash debris; F10 saves; the replay layer plays once then hides in Live and loops the last
1–3 elsewhere; silent by default; three kept; the layer is excluded from its own clip (hall of mirrors).

**TASK 14 gains Branch 3:** mic input gain ahead of the gate (table boom mics fall under it), webcam
blank hotkey, opacity/geometry parity with a collapsed Geometry disclosure, Show-in-folder.

**Decisions recorded:** the replay-buffer reversal (it was retired in 2022-era reasoning as "different
product"; the case for it won), the platform-surface rule, and voice triggering deferred — always-
listening in a streaming app hears the game, so the content is its own false-positive source.

Queue refactored to 56 lines by archiving completed rows and the superseded surge plan; HANDOFF at 40.

# Privacy Policy — LlamaCasty
Last updated: 30 October 2026
LlamaCasty is a desktop application for streaming to YouTube. It runs entirely
on your computer. This page states exactly what leaves your machine, what is
kept locally, and what is never collected.
## What is stored on your computer
| Data | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your layout: scenes, sources, assets, settings | `%APPDATA%\ytLlive\ytLlive.db` | So the app looks the same next time |
| YouTube sign-in token | `%APPDATA%\ytLlive\ytLlive.auth`, encrypted with Windows DPAPI (CurrentUser) | So you stay signed in; only your Windows account can decrypt it |
| Diagnostic log | `%APPDATA%\ytLlive\startup.log`, capped at 5 MB | To diagnose crashes you report |
| Recordings | the folder you choose | Your files; the app never uploads them |
| Replay clips (if you use them) | `clips\` beside your recordings | Only the three most recent are kept; older ones are deleted automatically. Local only, never uploaded |
Nothing else is written to disk. There is no analytics service, no crash
reporter, no advertising SDK and no telemetry of any kind.
## What is sent, and to whom
**Google / YouTube** — only when you sign in and go live, using your own
account:
- your channel information, live broadcasts, streams and chat, to run the
stream and show the chat overlay;
- your watch-time and subscriber statistics, to draw the YPP progress and
scoreboard tiles;
- your recording, only if you press Publish.
**Nowhere else.** The app talks to `googleapis.com` and the YouTube ingest
servers. It does not contact the publisher's servers, and no content of yours
is stored on them.
## What is never done
- **Chat is rendered, never stored.** Live chat is drawn on your stream and
held in memory; it is not written to disk, not uploaded, and not analysed.
- No viewer, member or donor information is retained after the session ends.
- No microphone, camera or screen content is transmitted anywhere except the
YouTube stream you start yourself.
## Your controls
Deleting `%APPDATA%\ytLlive` removes every local trace: layout, assets, logs
and the saved sign-in. Signing out inside the app deletes the saved token.
## Children
The app requires a YouTube account, and YouTube requires users to be 13 or
older. The app is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.
## Changes and contact
Material changes will be dated in this file. Questions:
