Creator: 'when I attempt to refresh my YPP page, I get an error about not being able to reach YouTube. Seriously?' Real log: channels.list failed (403) x3. Root cause #1 (the 403): channels.list?mine=true&part=statistics,auditDetails, contentDetails returns 403 insufficientPermissions when the token lacks the youtubepartner-channel-audit scope — which the auditDetails part ALONE requires, per the docs ('A request that retrieves the auditDetails part ... must provide an authorization token that contains the youtubepartner-channel-audit scope'). That scope is MCN partner tooling with a 2-week token-revocation rule; the app must not hold it. TASK-39's 'current scopes suffice, no re-consent' slice-1 claim was wrong for this part; mock-fake tests never touched the real API, so it shipped green and 403'd every refresh since 2026-09-22. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list Fix: part=statistics,contentDetails only; standing flags removed from ChannelStatsService -> YppStatSnapshot surface -> YppTrackerViewModel -> drawer, replaced by an honest deep-link row ('Channel standing isn't exposed to YouTube apps — check the Earn page'). YppSnapshot standing columns stay (schema-stable, always false). channels.list failures now log the response BODY — the bare code could not name insufficientPermissions, which is what made this undiagnosable. Root cause #2 (found by the new Good Dog, masked by the 403): statistics come back as JSON STRINGS ('350'); raw GetInt64() throws. Tolerant ReadInt64 (ValueKind-first; JsonElement.TryGetInt64 THROWS on strings — type-in, not try-type). Good Dog: ChannelStatsServiceTests.CaptureCurrent_RequestsNoAuditDetails_AndStillParsesTheSnapshot (URL asserts no auditDetails + snapshot parses); YppPullOutTests fixture updated. Recipes for both 403/scope and statistics-strings entered in MyMistakes.md. Also shipped in the same commit (shared PreviewPane.xaml + ai.md): the audio-sync status dot removal from the #77 feedback round (creator: 'what is the point of the status light? Lose it') — IntToSyncBrushConverter deleted with it. verify.sh gate: 0 warnings, 316/316 pass, scope-check clean.
ytLlive
A creator-proof live-streaming and recording app for YouTube — native Windows (C# / WPF / .NET 8).

Design Principle
This software is so intuitive that even the most right-brained person can easily intuit and use it.
Every feature is measured against this. One-click go-live, sane YouTube defaults, visual scene building, and no dead ends — every action has a visible outcome.
Why ytLlive
OBS treats YouTube as an afterthought; SLOBS is Twitch-first with YouTube bolted on. ytLlive is designed and dedicated to YouTube livestreaming and recording, and to YouTube's specific quirks.
Account Assumption
ytLlive assumes you already have a YouTube creator account — connecting uses "Sign in with Google" to link that existing account. ytLlive does not create accounts. If you don't have a YouTube channel yet, set one up on YouTube first, then connect it here.
Audio Assumption
ytLlive uses your default microphone and desktop/game output — it never hunts for a device or contends for one. It assumes your audio is already configured and working (default input and output set, not hijacked by another app). Audio issues are a Windows/device matter outside ytLlive's scope: we don't debug, detect, or try to fix them. If it doesn't sound right, fix the system's audio settings first — it's on the OS, not on us.
Run

Version Roadmap
v1 is the finished product (creator ruling, 2026-09-01 — there are no v1.x releases).
Everything still queueing lands in v1; anything not on the feature list is on the closed
"Out of product — permanently" list in TASKS.md — read that page before asking for a feature.
What v1 ships: the five-scene director's control surface, webcam + screen capture, media + web + text sources, chat on-stream, the social bar, mic/desktop audio with auto-duck and TRAX, local recording, variable quality tiers with auto step-down, one-click go-live + scheduling, stream resilience (auto-reconnect inside YouTube's grace, one-click back on air), built-in monetization awareness (reward capture, session reports, YPP journey tracker), Alerts — all free and ungated; the one-time license only removes the branding flash.
