TASKS — the active queue

One line per live item; the detail lives in TASKS/task-*.md. Done work is in TASKS/archive.md (2026-10-29 snapshot of the old catalogue). Retired decisions are in docs/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	Paid-app ownership check (BIsSubscribedApp) + Debug fake + app-wide IsAppOwned · greyed tier entries · About conversion copy + llamacasty.com link · current-launch Logs tab (replaces the separate system-message strip) · Debug-only InternalsVisibleTo	A locked tier opens About without changing the selected free tier or leaving the app; the site opens only from its link
2 · Tue — release blockers	Visibility flow (creator-selected at release; development/test stays Private) · OutputProfile entitlement: 30 fps free / 60 fps paid regardless of resolution · StreamConfig defaults retired (no production call sites) · TASK 53 (vertical resolution check ✅; remaining output contract open) · 9·5 webcam identity key · Move transitions (per-layer carry-across-scenes)	Visibility is selectable at creation and live-editable; the 30/60-fps gate is tested; remaining Day 2 items stay queued
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 ✅ (picker, loop, lifecycle) · 49 chat profanity filter · 34 scheduled streams	Text layer renders/persists; media file plays, loops; 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)

Start here: TASK 33 (bandwidth step-down) — the last unbuilt piece of the resilience row, and the only launch blocker left in code. Then TASK 34 (scheduled streams; its two research flags must be cited first), then 35 / 37 / 40·A/C/D / 55·2–3. TASK 32 is complete, Back on air included.

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.

Task	Status	Scope	Detail
53	✅	Output-format contract — six size/FPS modes, vertical YouTube playback, and recordings visually accepted	task-53
—	✅	Output entitlement code: free at 30 fps / paid at 60 fps regardless of resolution; Steam App ID is still pending	commercial
3·17	✅	Text layer — content, font family/size/weight/style, colour, alignment, drag/resize, persisted (done 2026-11-04)	task-03
21	✅	Media source: video file added from the (+) menu decodes, composites, plays its soundtrack, loops, and stops with its last reference (done 2026-11-05)	task-21
64	✅	Green/Blue Screen — detect + key from the decode pipe, offer on add, Amount/Softness/Fringe, opt-in auto-apply, alert clips included, persisted (done 2026-11-05)	task-64
—	☐	Transitions Move: per-layer carry-across-scenes flag, per-scene placement, fixed z band	ui-surface
55·2–3	☐	Disk hygiene: delete %TEMP% alert clips on close + sweep at startup; low-disk guard before REC (slice 1 shipped)	task-55
40·A/C/D	☐	App Settings: active-camera picker; persist output resolution + surface transition defaults + confirm-before-End; accent consolidation	task-40
3·20	✅	Session report — derived from superChatEvents.list on demand, not persisted (YouTube is the authority; no ledger). Per-currency totals, money off by default (done 2026-11-05)	task-03
32	✅	Stream resilience: fragmented MP4, blip retry, poll-driven RECONNECTING (no countdown — YouTube's cutoff is not a constant), ingest pre-flight, one-click Back on air (BackOnAirTests)	task-32
33	◇	Auto step-down, cause-classified (machine starvation → fps/resolution; upload congestion → bitrate only), shed our own capture cost first, one-way, hard floors, plain-words toast	task-33
34	☐	Scheduled streams (Text-drawer version)	task-34
35	☐	Scene-linked audio	task-35
37	☐	Defaults vs current layout split (build-id); enables one-click revert to defaults	task-37
—	✅	Preview undo (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z) — done 2026-11-01: Models/PreviewHistory + MainViewModel.Preview, one step per gesture, gated on EditingActive, cleared on layout load. Property edits not yet in the stack	ui-surface
39·2	✅	YPP slice 2 — three eligibility bars (subs / watch hours / Shorts views) from Analytics, dated thresholds with a staleness test, "x of 3 criteria met" (done 2026-11-05)	task-39
49	❌	Chat profanity filter — retired 2026-11-05: YouTube owns moderation (blocked words + hold for review run before the API). Replaced by not rendering YouTube's moderation markers (tombstones / no-display events)	task-49
50	☐	One-button publish of the local recording (resumable upload)	task-50
54	🔶	Freemium: EULA + privacy shipped; one codebase for free Demo + paid app. Blocked on Valve: identity verification pending, tax review up to 30 business days; app IDs, store page and build review all follow	task-54
—	🔶	Steam ownership — BIsSubscribedApp(paidAppId) + Debug fake + app-wide IsAppOwned; paid app ID awaits Steamworks	commercial
—	❌	Polar subscription path — retired 2026-11-01 with the one-price model. Design kept in decisions.md, not built	decisions
—	✅	OutputProfile gate — resolver + EncoderOptions wiring (Models/OutputProfile.cs, one ffmpeg/two outputs, dev override); higher tiers follow IsAppOwned	commercial
—	✅	Demo conversion UI — owned users get higher tiers; non-owners see greyed tiers, and selecting one opens About with conversion copy and an explicit llamacasty.com link. No browser opens until the link is clicked	commercial
—	✅	System-message strip replaced by Logs tab — current launch's newest 500 raw AppLog entries, newest-first; no prior-launch import or logging-policy changes	ui-surface
—	☐	Steam packaging — publish output + steam_api64.dll, paid app and associated Demo setup, depot, steamcmd upload, store pages + assets	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
14	🔶	Creator feedback batch — branch 3+	task-14
—	❌	Retired: StreamConfig defaults are unused; encoder output comes from the selected quality tier	Models/index.md
36	☐	Gold pass — the v1 gate, always the last unit (see 1.0 gates)	task-36
48	⏸	Distribution & packaging — route settled 2026-10-31 (winget/portable first; Steam + Store parked). Build steps: Distribution.md; starts after the entitlement seam	task-48
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

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.

Creator-requested follow-ups (park for Day 6)

• Group controls under This PC and YouTube.
• ON-AIR opens a preflight using the saved visibility default and an explicit Start Broadcast — [scope] action.
• Persistent Help icon immediately left of Edit opens the creator-triggered, app-only 1-2-3 first-broadcast guide. Keep copy top-aligned and high-contrast; never composite the guide into broadcast output.
• Add YouTube category selection; send tags through the video API; support thumbnail upload.
• Add tooltips to settings tabs and make Logs wrapping effective.

1.0 gates (before the first shipped build)

• Release visibility flow — default to Private; let the creator choose Private/Unlisted/Public in the ON-AIR preflight and change it live through UpdateBroadcast; keep development/test runs forced Private. Hide the separate TEST button as already decided for v1.
• 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 done (self-contained win-x64, ffmpeg\ guarded, no test artifacts), LlamaCasty.exe assembly rename done, full license texts beside THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt (TASK 4 req 9). Outstanding: Debug-only InternalsVisibleTo.
• Gold pass (TASK 36): the screens/layers audit, native-Windows verification, and the branding-flash decision.
