The creator (2026-10-09): 'we need some sort of log-rotation so that we don't inadvertently fill up a user's drive.' startup.log was uncapped - 23MB and growing every few seconds, because FfmpegEncoder logs every non-progress ffmpeg stderr line. The policy lives in a new Helpers/LogRotation.cs as a pure function over a path (RollIfNeeded(logPath, maxBytes, retainedFiles)), so AppLog's 156 call sites keep their surface and the rule is testable on its own. At 5MB the live file rolls to startup.1.log and one rolled copy is kept - the FILE SET is bounded, not just the live file, so a long stream cannot grow the log without limit. A failed rotation degrades to the old behaviour instead of taking the app down. Pattern reference (cited): Serilog's file sink pairs fileSizeLimitBytes (the cap) with retainedFileCountLimit (how many rolled files to keep) - https://github.com/serilog/serilog-sinks-file Guard: ytLive.Tests/AppLogRotationTests.cs - the ONE test drives the real AppLog.Write against a temp dir (two internal seams: PathOverride, MaxBytes) and asserts the roll, the fresh live file, and that after a SECOND roll the directory still holds exactly startup.log + startup.1.log. Also fixed a stale catalog row: TASK 12 (master limiter) shipped 2026-08-15 and was still marked 'Queued'.

# Helpers — index
|
|
|
|
Cross-cutting utilities. See [`schema.md`](../schema.md) for the memory-map conventions.
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
|------|---------|
|
|
| `ViewModelBase.cs` | `INotifyPropertyChanged` + `SetProperty<T>()` — base for all ViewModels |
|
|
| `RelayCommand.cs` | `ICommand` implementation for all button actions |
|
|
| `AppLog.cs` | File logger to `%APPDATA%\ytLlive\startup.log`; startup checkpoints + unhandled-exception capture (the crash this map is named for). Size-capped: rolls to `startup.1.log` at 5 MB (TASK 55) |
|
|
| `LogRotation.cs` | The size-capped-rotation policy as a pure function over a path: roll `startup.log` → `startup.1.log` when it passes the cap, keeping N rolled copies. Separate from `AppLog` so the logger's 156-call-site surface never changes and the rule is testable alone (TASK 55) |
|
|
| `FocusPreservingListBox.cs` | `ListBox` subclass that keeps selection/focus coherent when the selected item is deleted; `IsSelectable` predicate skips hidden scenes; drag-reorder guard |
|
|
| `OAuthCredentials.cs` | Baked-in Google OAuth client ID/secret (desktop app; loopback callback) |
|
|
| `TokenStore.cs` | DPAPI-protected OAuth session persistence (`%APPDATA%\ytLlive\ytLlive.auth`, CurrentUser scope); `Save`/`Load`/`Clear` — sign-in survives restarts |
|
|
| `ImageCache.cs` | Image byte caching (assets live in the DB) |
|
|
| `InverseBoolToVisibilityConverter.cs` / `NotNullToVisibilityConverter.cs` | XAML value converters for visibility bindings |
|
|
| `AllTrueToVisibilityConverter.cs` | Multi-value AND-gate → Visible; gates the layer-row capture menu items on row-IsBackground + staged-scene-is-Live (TASK 25) |
|
|
| `CameraConflictProbe.cs` | Best-effort diagnostic: when a camera won't start, enumerates running processes known to hold cameras (OBS, Zoom, Teams, NVIDIA Broadcast, browsers, etc.) — Windows doesn't expose "which process has this device" via any public API, so this is a suspect list, not a verdict |
|
|
| `StripPool.cs` | Four DEDICATED background threads at `BelowNormal` priority that split one composite into horizontal row strips (the caller runs a strip too); started lazily, runs inline below 64 rows. UNIT 5 — do NOT demote the ThreadPool from `Parallel.For`, it leaks into unrelated work (see ai.md "Render budget") |
|
|
| `FrameCadence.cs` | Pure arrival-cadence counter (`FrameCadence` + `FrameCadenceSummary.Describe`): frames, gaps, hitches, longest/avg gap for a window of a timestamped stream. Fed by `MediaCaptureFrameSource` (camera stamps vs our arrivals) and `FramePump` (distinct webcam Epochs that reached the output) — UNIT 0, see ai.md "Frame cadence" |
|
|
| `HexToBrushConverter.cs` | A "#RRGGBB" hex string → `SolidColorBrush` (transparent on bad input), so a template can paint a colour swatch straight from the palette. Registered in the theme as `HexToBrush` — the theme paints the colour, never the UI code (TASK 63) |
|
|
| `ClosedBoxTemplateSelector.cs` | An `ItemTemplateSelector` that gives a ComboBox's CLOSED box a different template from its drop-down rows: WPF calls it with the `ContentPresenter`'s templated parent — the `ComboBox` for the closed box, the `ComboBoxItem` for a row. The only way to tell them apart (`SelectionBoxItemTemplate` is read-only and mirrors `ItemTemplate`) — TASK 63 |
