gramps abfab25685 build: the exe is LlamaCasty.exe, and the publish script proves the artifact
Renames AssemblyName to LlamaCasty before the first Steam depot — Steamworks is explicit
that renaming a live exe is painful, so this had to land first, not later.

Four assembly-qualified pack URIs carried the old name, not three: MainWindow (window
icon), OverlayHost (logo), RenameRecordingDialog and KeepBroadcastDialog. Pack URIs
resolve by assembly name at runtime, so a stale one compiles, passes every test and then
silently renders nothing the first time that view opens. AssemblyIdentityTests guards
both halves — the assembly name, and no source XAML still naming the legacy assembly.
Packaging/Package.appxmanifest and package-msix.sh carry the exe name too.

scripts/publish.sh replaces the by-hand publish: single-file win-x64, ReadyToRun,
ffmpeg beside the exe, and it refuses to finish if ffmpeg, LICENSE, PRIVACY.md or
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt are missing, or if a test assembly leaked in.

That last guard exists because the first publish was wrong in a way no test could see:
PublishSingleFile + IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract bundled the libav*.dll family
into the exe — a 9-file output with no ffmpeg folder and a 182 MB binary, so the locator
would have found nothing at runtime. ExcludeFromSingleFile="true" on the content keeps
the folder a folder. Diffing against a control publish without the single-file flags
found it; guessing at item globs wasted two attempts first (recorded in MyMistakes.md).

Measured: 127 MB exe + 129 MB ffmpeg = 257 MB depot. Tests: AssemblyIdentity,
StorePackaging, BuildStamp, BundledFonts all pass; app builds with 0 warnings.

## Next up
**The surge week (3 days, in this order).** Not every row below — this slice only, because it is
what the first public release is waiting on. Day 1 (artifact shape) is **done**: the exe is
`LlamaCasty.exe` and `scripts/publish.sh` stages the depot folder.
1. **OutputProfile gate** — ≤921,600 px / ≤30 fps for the stream **and** the recorder, greyed tier
entries, plus the TASK 53 geometry tests that pin every tier.
2. Then the **entitlement seam** (`IEntitlement`, Steam DLC path behind a fake, Polar path) and the
licence UI.
Detail: [`commercial.md`](docs/ai/commercial.md) → Output profile / Entitlement;
[`Distribution.md`](Distribution.md). After that: the visibility picker (a hard prerequisite for
any *public* build).
**TASK 3·17 — the Text layer** stays the first product row after the surge. The `TextOverlay` source
type exists as a placeholder and nothing else does: `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. The unit: text content, font family/size/weight/style,
colour, alignment, drag/resize, persisted; renderer mirrors `Services/ChatBoxRenderer.cs`. One Good
Dog test.
## Queue

| 54 | 🔶 | Freemium: EULA + privacy shipped; **no licence path built** — needs the entitlement seam, the output-profile cap and the licence UI below; site copy still says free forever | [`task-54`](TASKS/task-54-marcom-free-merch.md) |
| — | ☐ | **Steamworks entitlement** — `steam_api64.dll` + `SteamAPI.Init`, `BIsDlcInstalled(dlcAppId)` behind `IEntitlement`, free profile when Steam is absent | [`commercial`](docs/ai/commercial.md) |
| — | ☐ | **Entitlement seam** — Polar customer-portal path for the monthly (org ID public, org token never in the app), `conditions: {channel_id}`, 7–14 day lease, `--activate` CLI. **No claim page, no server** | [`commercial`](docs/ai/commercial.md) |

| 9·5 | ☐ | Webcam identity key reconciliation | [`task-09`](TASKS/task-09-live-stream-management.md) |
| 14 | 🔶 | Creator feedback batch — branch 3+ | [`task-14`](TASKS/task-14-creator-feedback-batch.md) |
| — | ☐ | Small: `StreamConfig` defaults (`TargetBitrate=6000`, `1920x1080`) are stale — the dropdown drives `StreamHealth` | this line |
| 36 | ☐ | **Gold pass** — the v1 gate, always the last unit (see 1.0 gates) | [`task-36`](TASKS/task-36-gold-pass.md) |
| 48 | ⏸ | Distribution & packaging — route settled 2026-10-31 (winget/portable first; Steam + Store parked). Build steps: [`Distribution.md`](Distribution.md); starts after the entitlement seam | [`task-48`](TASKS/task-48-distribution-msix.md) |

## 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)
- **Visibility picker** — replace the always-Private lock, hide the TEST button, and wire
`UpdateBroadcast` in the same unit (it is the only code that can change a broadcast's privacy).
- **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.
