HANDOFF — Session State

Branch

main — dirty (2 files, uncommitted), HEAD 46da995. Not pushed.

Uncommitted work (this session): IsBackground load-time derivation fix

The user-reported bug "Background properties show for only Starting and Live" is FIXED:

1. Root cause confirmed: Source.Type's setter derives IsBackground (Type == Background), but LayoutStore.Load()'s object initializer assigned the DB column afterward — rows saved before b74f15f carry IsBackground=0 for Type='Background' and stayed false after load, so the properties panel (SelectedElement.IsBackground) stayed hidden in BRB/Chat/Ending.
2. Fix (Services/LayoutStore.cs ~601): hoist the Type parse, then IsBackground = type == SourceType.Background || <column>. The OR keeps the persisted bit for legacy DisplayCapture backdrops (column=1 must survive so the live-capture layer stays flagged). First save after load self-heals the columns.
3. Test (this branch's ONE integration test): LayoutStorePersistenceTests.Legacy_IsBackground_Zero_Rows_Derive_From_Type_On_Load — saves a BRB scene holding DisplayCapture + Background + Image, zeroes the legacy columns via raw SQL, reloads, asserts Background→true / DisplayCapture→true / Image→false.
4. Build 0 warnings; 212 total, 209 pass (3 pre-existing failures, below).

⚠️ Landmines

• User verdict (2026-08-23): "The AI wrote fucked up code after repeatedly and intentionally misunderstanding instructions." This extends the ai.md 2026-08-22 audit flag — trust nothing from those sessions without manual verification. User switched models.
• Pre-existing test failures are THREE, not one (handoff correction — verified by stashing and running clean HEAD):
  1. AudioPipelineTests.Mix_HonorsProviderGains_AndGameMute_KillsTheLoopback (gain-math)
  2. SourceNamingTests.Duplicate_Sources_Get_Next_Free_Numbered_Name — asserts StagedScene names == ["Text","Text2","Text3"], but StagedScene now carries a seeded "Game Capture" element (d2114c7 made all five scenes background-enabled); the test must filter the background out.
  3. SceneCatalogTests.EnforceBackgroundPolicy_Sets_Flag_For_All_Scenes — calls EnsureBackground on scenes with HasBackground=false; that returns null by design, so it asserts against elements never inserted. All three are fallout of the audit-flagged sessions' background-policy churn. NOT fixed here (Good Dog Rule — this branch carries its one test only).
• Real-MainWindow tests MUST set LayoutPathOverride (see ai.md) — DB pollution wiped real data once.

Next steps

1. Commit this fix (code + docs, one commit).
2. Fix the two stale background tests (tiny, separate commit each or together — they are unit-level repairs, not features).
3. Visual test on Windows display: pill sizing/alignment, sub-header hierarchy, Background properties panel in all five scenes (BRB/Chat/Ending should show it again).
4. Then: thumbnail drag-reorder → real compositor snapshots → transition dropdown UI (per previous plan).
