Test button next to Start runs the real private-only go-live pipeline as a session variant (IsTestStream): BeginTestStream -> extracted StartStreamingSession(alsoRecord:false) shared with the dialog path — no Go Live dialog, no 'last live' stamp, no recording. Gold top bar + TEST badge + 'End Test' button face; TEST drawer (third right-rail pull-out, three-way exclusivity) auto-opens once the liveChatId resolves. Chat tooling: Mock Chat Input sends a REAL liveChat/messages.insert (YouTubeStreamService.InsertChatMessageAsync) that round-trips the real ~2s poll and renders through the live overlay; simulated Subscriber/New Member/Super Chat events inject through the poller's MessageReceived seam (YouTubeChatService.InjectSimulatedMessage, ChatMessage.IsSimulated) — the insert API only creates textMessageEvent, so non-text events are local-only by design (ref: developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/docs/liveChatMessages/insert). Scopes youtube + youtube.force-ssl already cover insert; no re-consent. Good Dog: ytLive.Tests/TestStreamTests.cs — coordinator protocol with fake HTTP + real-window drawer exclusivity/gate. 0 warnings; 314/314 pass (clean run; intermittent host abort is the pre-existing WinRT-webcam flake). Docs ride in the same change: TASKS.md row 41, TASKS/task-41-test-stream-mode.md, ai.md (YouTube Live API constraints), HANDOFF rewrite.

Build impact: main + tests build clean, 0 warnings; 314/314 tests pass (313 prior + 1 new Good Dog). A flaky real-camera startup test aborted one earlier full-suite run (hardware-dependent, unrelated to this change); the clean rerun passes fully.
What shipped — TASK 41: Test Stream mode (2026-09-22)
Full record: TASKS/task-41-test-stream-mode.md. Decisions locked with the creator:
chat-overlay-events-only (no stinger/TTS — stays TASK 3 16/17/20), TEST drawer in the right rail,
hybrid simulation (real text insert + local synthetic events). Key design: since every broadcast is
already private-only (CreateBroadcast hardcodes privacyStatus=private), "Test" is a session
variant: BeginTestStream → extracted-shared StartStreamingSession(alsoRecord:false) (no
dialog, no "last live" stamp, no recording). IsTestStream = gold top bar (#9c6f1c) + TEST badge
- "End Test" button face.
TestSession.BeginTest(broadcastId, liveChatId)opens the TEST drawer once the liveChatId resolves. Mock Chat Input = realliveChat/messages.insertround-trip; simulated events inject through the poller'sMessageReceivedseam markedIsSimulated(hard API fact: insert only creates text — non-text events are local-only by design). Three-way drawer exclusivity (Stream Settings / YPP / TEST) inMainViewModel.Ypp.cs.
Good Dog — ytLive.Tests/TestStreamTests.cs (one [Fact]): coordinator protocol w/ fake HTTP
(insert POST body asserted; simulated shapes verified) + real-window exclusivity/gate. Note: the
coordinator section runs on the test thread directly (pure services, no WPF), the window section via
RealAppHost.Run — deviates from YppPullOutTests' all-in-one-Run shape for debuggable stacks.
⚠️ Around the task
- Manual verification still owed (needs a real run, Windows): Test button → gold face + badge + auto-open TEST drawer; send a message → appears on a ChatBox overlay after ~2s; simulated rows render text/member/SuperChat styled; End Test closes it all out cleanly (transition complete).
- The app may be RUNNING — in-place build fails MSB3021/MSB3027 until closed (temp-OutDir workaround in ai.md). Close it before the manual pass.
- The full-suite flake earlier: real-camera startup test under the test host (hardware, pre-existing behavior; unrelated to TASK 41).
- LayerReorderPersistenceTests.RealMouseDrag flaked once pre-TASK-38 (fullscreen game); unrelated.

Next step
Commit TASK 41 (scope-check the declared list first), then TASK 40 App Settings round is queued
(TASKS/task-40-app-settings-round.md, units A → B → C → D, one Good Dog each). Unit A's
SharedReadOnly control-write question is the one genuinely uncertain technical point — run its
mitigation ladder, spin-guard research before a third guess. Push only on the user's say-so.
Critical working rules (unchanged, still binding)
- Good Dog = ONE integration test per change.
- Scope lock: declare the file list before editing;
./scripts/scope-check.shbefore commit. - WSL builds use the Windows dotnet host (
/mnt/c/Program Files/dotnet/dotnet.exe, quoted paths).
