Creator ruling 2026-11-09: finish the queue before the new features, gold pass always last. **Retired (platform's surface, not ours):** - 34 scheduled streams — YouTube owns scheduling *and* the reminder that makes it worth anything. - 50 publish recording — Studio owns upload (resumable, quota-aware, explains rejections), and an in-app uploader would widen the OAuth consent to whole-channel video management for one convenience. The app adds "Show in folder" instead. **New tasks:** 65 replay clips (the creator-side buffer YouTube does not give you), 66 timed ticker messages, 67 per-event alert videos, 68 edit-while-live + first-run On-Air. **TASK 65 spec** is the interesting one: 15 s is a clip (10/15/20, default 15); the ring holds encrypted *encoded* fragments in RAM — raw 1080p frames would be ~7.4 GB for 15 s — so there is no steady disk write and no crash debris; F10 saves; the replay layer plays once then hides in Live and loops the last 1–3 elsewhere; silent by default; three kept; the layer is excluded from its own clip (hall of mirrors). **TASK 14 gains Branch 3:** mic input gain ahead of the gate (table boom mics fall under it), webcam blank hotkey, opacity/geometry parity with a collapsed Geometry disclosure, Show-in-folder. **Decisions recorded:** the replay-buffer reversal (it was retired in 2022-era reasoning as "different product"; the case for it won), the platform-surface rule, and voice triggering deferred — always- listening in a streaming app hears the game, so the content is its own false-positive source. Queue refactored to 56 lines by archiving completed rows and the superseded surge plan; HANDOFF at 40.

**Creator ruling 2026-11-09 — finish the queue before the new features, gold pass always last.**
|
||
|
||
`35 → 37 → 40·A/C/D → 55·2–3 → Move → 9·5 → 14 (slices) → 65 → 66 → 67 → 68 → 36`
|
||
|
||
The rule behind the two retirements below: **do not rebuild the platform's own surface.** Scheduling,
|
||
publishing, moderation and channel management are YouTube's; the app owns capture → scene → sound →
|
||
output.
|
||
|
||
## Queue
|
||
|
||
| Task | Status | Scope | Detail |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| 35 | ☐ | **Scene-linked audio** — the scene remembers the room: BRB mutes the mic, Chat restores it, applied once at the live transition | [`task-35`](TASKS/task-35-scene-linked-audio.md) |
|
||
| 37 | ☐ | **Defaults vs current layout split** — separate branded defaults from the live workspace; enables one-click revert | [`task-37`](TASKS/task-37-defaults-current-split.md) |
|
||
| 40·A/C/D | ☐ | **Settings round** — active-camera picker; persist output resolution + surface transition defaults + confirm-before-End; accent consolidation | [`task-40`](TASKS/task-40-app-settings-round.md) |
|
||
| 55·2–3 | ☐ | **Disk hygiene** — delete `%TEMP%` alert clips on close + sweep at startup; low-disk guard before REC (slice 1 shipped) | [`task-55`](TASKS/task-55-disk-hygiene.md) |
|
||
| — | ☐ | **Move transition** — per-layer carry-across-scenes flag, per-scene placement, fixed z band | [`ui-surface`](docs/ai/ui-surface.md) |
|
||
| 9·5 | ☐ | **Webcam identity key reconciliation** — one stable identity per camera across re-plugs | [`task-09`](TASKS/task-09-live-stream-management.md) |
|
||
| 14 | 🔶 | **Creator feedback batch** — Branch 2 shipped; Branch 3 = mic input gain, webcam blank/standby, opacity+geometry consistency, Show-in-folder on stop | [`task-14`](TASKS/task-14-creator-feedback-batch.md) |
|
||
| 65 | ☐ | **Replay clips** — 10/15/20 s (default 15), RAM ring of fragmented MP4, F10 to save; replay layer plays once then hides in Live and loops the last 1–3 elsewhere; silent by default; three kept | [`task-65`](TASKS/task-65-replay-clips.md) |
|
||
| 66 | ☐ | **Timed ticker messages** — "every N minutes show this", from a creator-written list | [`task-66`](TASKS/task-66-timed-ticker.md) |
|
||
| 67 | ☐ | **Per-event alert videos** — a clip per monetization event, falling back to the default | [`task-67`](TASKS/task-67-per-event-alert-videos.md) |
|
||
| 68 | ☐ | **Editing while live** + first-run On-Air state matching the 1-2-3 screen | [`task-68`](TASKS/task-68-edit-while-live.md) |
|
||
| 36 | ☐ | **Gold pass** — the v1 gate: screens/layers audit (every control does something), native-Windows verification, branding-flash decision. Always the last unit | [`task-36`](TASKS/task-36-gold-pass.md) |
|
||
| 34 | ❌ | **Scheduled streams — retired 2026-11-09.** YouTube owns scheduling *and* the reminder that makes it useful; the app neither creates nor displays scheduled broadcasts, and there is no value in a copy that can fall out of sync | [`decisions`](docs/ai/decisions.md) |
|
||
| 50 | ❌ | **Publish recording — retired 2026-11-09.** YouTube Studio owns upload (resumable, quota-aware, and it explains rejections). In-app publishing would also widen the OAuth consent to whole-channel video management. The recording lands in the creator's folder; the app adds "Show in folder" instead | [`decisions`](docs/ai/decisions.md) |
|
||
| 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 | [`task-54`](TASKS/task-54-marcom-free-merch.md) |
|
||
| — | 🔶 | **Steam ownership** — `BIsSubscribedApp(paidAppId)` + Debug fake + app-wide `IsAppOwned`; paid app ID awaits Steamworks | [`commercial`](docs/ai/commercial.md) |
|
||
| — | ☐ | **Steam packaging** — `publish` output + `steam_api64.dll`, paid app and Demo, depots, `steamcmd` upload, store pages + capsule assets, measured system requirements | [`Distribution.md`](Distribution.md) |
|
||
| 48 | ⏸ | Distribution & packaging (winget/portable) — parked behind the entitlement seam | [`task-48`](TASKS/task-48-distribution-msix.md) |
|
||
| — | ☐ | **Training-video series** — 32 subjects listed in `youTubeTrainingVideos.md`; each is documentation, channel content and support deflection at once | `youTubeTrainingVideos.md` |
|
||
|
||
## 1.0 gates (before the first shipped build)
|
||
|
||
- **Release visibility flow** — default to Private; let the creator choose Private/Unlisted/Public at
|
||
creation and change it live through `UpdateBroadcast`; keep development/test runs forced Private.
|
||
- **Kill the dev multi-instance affordance** — `Helpers/InstanceProfile.cs` is `#if DEBUG`; re-prove on a
|
||
Release build.
|
||
- **Single-instance guard** — Release has none: two launches share one layout DB (read-whole/write-whole)
|
||
and one audio pipe. A named mutex that activates the first window.
|
||
- **Gold pass** (TASK 36).
|
||
- Release engineering: `publish.sh` **done**, exe rename **done**, full licence texts beside
|
||
`THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt` needed; Debug-only `InternalsVisibleTo` outstanding.
