Creator challenge (2026-11-05): "I really don't think that's going to be a constant — it's going to
depend on so many variables, some that are dark to us." Correct, so the measured-grace constant and
the countdown are dropped from the spec. YouTube's cutoff is server-side and depends on ingest health,
prior stream quality, region and load; a pinned number would be a guess wearing a timer, and it would
be wrong exactly when the creator is staring at it.
What ships instead:
- **Amber RECONNECTING** in the top bar with measured facts only: elapsed seconds and the attempt
number ("0:12 · attempt 2 of 4"). The seconds come from a stopwatch started at the drop.
- **The status poll speeds up while recovering** (30 s → 4 s) and drives the sign; it restores 30 s
when recovery ends.
- **`chatEndedEvent`** — already in the chat feed we poll and previously skipped — now raises a signal
that prompts an immediate status check. It never decides anything: `liveBroadcasts.list`
`lifeCycleStatus` stays authoritative, with `liveStreams.list` health as the push-received signal.
- At `complete`: red OFF AIR (the existing stop path) rather than a pretend-live sign.
Tests: `ChatEndedSignalTests` (the marker is not a chat row, the service raises the signal, and a
complete broadcast ends recovery with the honest message). FAST gate: 543 passed, 0 warnings.

# HANDOFF — 2026-11-05 (alert stack + media/chroma fixes)
|
|
|
|
## State
|
|
|
|
- `main`. TASK 21 (video layer + soundtrack), TASK 64 (green/blue screen) and TASK 32·4 (fragmented MP4)
|
|
are complete; TASK 49 is retired (YouTube owns chat moderation — we just don't paint tombstones).
|
|
- **Left panel alert stack** shipped: Steam licence indicator pinned at row 1 (`Entitlement 30 fps ·
|
|
Maximum 60 fps`, pin → close once owned, permanent while owned), event rows LIFO beneath, click →
|
|
About or the Logs tab with that event's lines painted. Detail: `docs/ai/ui-surface.md`.
|
|
- Video layer fixes this session: the preview-pane trigger whitelist (a video layer was invisible), a
|
|
quadratic frame copy that capped 1080p playback at 2 fps, and deadline pacing for video *and* audio.
|
|
- Tests: 575 green, 1m50s; `FAST=1 ./scripts/verify.sh` = 527 in ~62s.
|
|
|
|
## Next action
|
|
|
|
- **32·1 + 32·2 shipped**: blip retry (immediate/+1/+2/+3 s), and the RECONNECTING sign driven by the
|
|
status poll (4 s cadence while recovering) with **measured** elapsed/attempt only — the countdown was
|
|
dropped after the creator pointed out YouTube's cutoff depends on variables we cannot see. The
|
|
`chatEndedEvent` in the chat feed now prompts an immediate status check.
|
|
- Next: 32·5 (ingest pre-flight),
|
|
then 32·2/32·3 (countdown + Back on air) which need YOUR measurement take: pull the network on a
|
|
private stream and time how long YouTube holds the broadcast.
|
|
- Open loop: `32·4` is proven by construction only — kill ffmpeg mid-recording and play the file.
|
|
- Do not push absent a checkpoint request.
|
|
|
|
## Landmines
|
|
|
|
- **The preview pane draws frame-source layers from a whitelist of DataTriggers.** A layer type with no
|
|
trigger is invisible in the preview while its decode looks healthy (alert box 2026-09-26, scoreboard,
|
|
video layer 2026-11-05). Add the trigger with the layer type; pin it with `MediaPreviewDisplayTests`.
|
|
- Nothing in the suite drives the real cursor any more; the drag arithmetic is pure (`DragReorderMathTests`).
|
|
- Integration tests constructing `MainWindow` must set a temporary `LayoutPathOverride` and clear it in `finally`.
|
|
- Media sessions are keyed by **path + look** (`MainViewModel.MediaSessionKey`); never acquire by raw path.
|
|
- Bundled FFmpeg stays outside the single-file exe (`ExcludeFromSingleFile="true"`).
