TASKS — the active queue

One line per live item; the detail lives in TASKS/task-*.md. Done work is in TASKS/archive.md (2026-10-29 snapshot of the old catalogue). Retired decisions are in docs/ai/decisions.md. Markers: ☐ queued · 🔶 in progress · ⏳ blocked · ⏸ deferred · ❌ retired.

The surge — six days, all remaining coding (2026-11-02 → 11-07)

Every open coding row is assigned below. No later phase, no "after launch" list. Target is 6–8 units a day (above the measured 3–5 baseline — that is the point of a surge). If a day overruns, the smallest item moves to the next day; a launch blocker never moves.

Rules, every unit, no exceptions: one Good Dog test · clean build 0 warnings · per-class tests green · ./scripts/verify.sh on the declared scope · commit with the doc fact it falsifies corrected. No new scope mid-week; anything discovered goes on a list for day 6.

Day	Units	Done when
1 · Mon — licensing	IEntitlement seam + Steam DLC impl + fake · HasProOutput on the seam · greyed tier entries · licence UI four states + 7/1/0-day notices + "monthly is on the website, not Steam" · licence ID in About · system messages (SystemMessage/MessageCenter strip) · Debug-only InternalsVisibleTo	Fake drives all four states; Steam-less launch is the free profile; About shows the licence ID
2 · Tue — release blockers	Visibility picker + UpdateBroadcast · StreamConfig defaults · TASK 53 output contract (geometry test per tier, 9:16 e2e) · 9·5 webcam identity key · Move transitions (per-layer carry-across-scenes)	A public broadcast starts and changes while live; every tier pinned by a test
3 · Wed — resilience	TASK 32: blip retry → measured grace → amber RECONNECTING → one-click Back on air → fragmented MP4 → ingest pre-flight · 33 bandwidth step-down	Killing the network mid-broadcast recovers without ending it
4 · Thu — content & media	3·17 Text layer · 21 media acquisition wiring + file picker + loop/volume UI · 49 chat profanity filter · 34 scheduled streams	Text layer renders/persists; media file plays, loops, has volume; scheduled stream created
5 · Fri — data & settings	3·20 RewardEvent persistence + superChatEvents.list backfill · 39·2 YPP slice 2 · 37 defaults-vs-current split · 35 scene-linked audio · 40·A/C/D settings round · 55·2–3 disk hygiene	Session report reads persisted events; defaults can be reverted; temp clips cleaned
6 · Sat — finish & prove	50 publish recording · preview undo (Ctrl+Z) · 14 creator feedback batch · 36 gold pass · full sweep: clean build, whole per-class suite, publish.sh artifact, EULA/privacy/notices in the artifact · commit + push	Gold pass list empty; artifact stages; suite green; pushed

Day 6 is the only polish day. No polish passes before it — a surge dies on cosmetic passes taken in the middle.

Next up (after the surge slice)

TASK 3·17 — the Text layer is scheduled in the surge (day 4). Placeholder detail retained for the unit itself: AddSource creates it 0×0, all four compositor paths continue past it, FramePump's hash skips it, it is not draggable, and it has no text/font/colour properties or persistence. Text content, font family/size/weight/style, colour, alignment, drag/resize, persisted; renderer mirrors Services/ChatBoxRenderer.cs.

Queue

Every open coding row here is assigned to a surge day above. Rows still marked ☐ on 2026-11-07 are a failure of the plan, not a scheduling note.

Task	Status	Scope	Detail
3·17	☐ NEXT	Text layer — content, font family/size/weight/style, colour, alignment, drag/resize, persisted	task-03
21	🔶	Media source: acquisition wiring + file picker + loop/volume UI (decoder, manager, pacing, loop all shipped — no AcquireAsync caller exists)	task-21
—	☐	Transitions Move: per-layer carry-across-scenes flag, per-scene placement, fixed z band	ui-surface
55·2–3	☐	Disk hygiene: delete %TEMP% alert clips on close + sweep at startup; low-disk guard before REC (slice 1 shipped)	task-55
40·A/C/D	☐	App Settings: active-camera picker; persist output resolution + surface transition defaults + confirm-before-End; accent consolidation	task-40
3·20	☐	RewardEvent persistence: canonical RewardEvents table + superChatEvents.list 30-day backfill (the session report and journey read it)	task-03
32	☐	Stream resilience: blip retry → measured grace + amber "RECONNECTING" → one-click Back on air → fragmented MP4 → ingest pre-flight	task-32
33	☐	Bandwidth auto step-down: pure policy over dropped-frame rate, one-way within a broadcast	task-33
34	☐	Scheduled streams (Text-drawer version)	task-34
35	☐	Scene-linked audio	task-35
37	☐	Defaults vs current layout split (build-id); enables one-click revert to defaults	task-37
—	✅	Preview undo (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z) — done 2026-11-01: Models/PreviewHistory + MainViewModel.Preview, one step per gesture, gated on EditingActive, cleared on layout load. Property edits not yet in the stack	ui-surface
39·2	☐	YPP slice 2: Analytics scopes, watch-hours/Shorts velocity + ETA	task-39
49	☐	Chat profanity filter: local, opt-in, non-persistent, user-supplied word list	task-49
50	☐	One-button publish of the local recording (resumable upload)	task-50
53	☐	Output-format contract: pin every tier with a geometry test, prove 9:16 end-to-end, recorded file matches output	task-53
54	🔶	Freemium: EULA + privacy shipped; no licence path built — needs the entitlement seam, the output-profile cap and the licence UI below; site copy still says free forever	task-54
—	☐	Steamworks entitlement — steam_api64.dll + SteamAPI.Init, BIsDlcInstalled(dlcAppId) behind IEntitlement, free profile when Steam is absent	commercial
—	☐	Entitlement seam — Polar customer-portal path for the monthly (org ID public, org token never in the app), conditions: {channel_id}, 7–14 day lease, --activate CLI. No claim page, no server	commercial
—	🔶	OutputProfile gate — resolver + EncoderOptions wiring done (Models/OutputProfile.cs, one ffmpeg/two outputs, dev override); remaining: greyed tier entries in the dropdown, entitlement wiring	commercial
—	☐	Licence UI — four states, 7/1/0-day notices, "monthly is on the website, not Steam" line, portal link, licence ID in About	commercial
—	☐	System messages — SystemMessage + MessageCenter, strip above the dock, dedupe by key, short history, never composited	ui-surface
—	☐	Steam packaging — rename, publish output + steam_api64.dll, depot, steamcmd upload, store page + assets, DLC app	Distribution.md
—	☐	Training-video series — capture the first 8–10 recurring questions as videos on @llamacasty; each is documentation, channel content and monetization at once	MARCOM → support→content loop
9·5	☐	Webcam identity key reconciliation	task-09
14	🔶	Creator feedback batch — branch 3+	task-14
—	☐	Small: StreamConfig defaults (TargetBitrate=6000, 1920x1080) are stale — the dropdown drives StreamHealth	this line
36	☐	Gold pass — the v1 gate, always the last unit (see 1.0 gates)	task-36
48	⏸	Distribution & packaging — route settled 2026-10-31 (winget/portable first; Steam + Store parked). Build steps: Distribution.md; starts after the entitlement seam	task-48
10	❌	Retired 2026-10-08; superseded by the TASK 54 rows above — the Polar design it described is rebuilt as a lease (commercial.md), not revived as written	task-10

Pending the creator's hands (not programming)

• ✅ App Settings grouping + right-click gear — reported working 2026-10-29.
• ✅ Transition picker/durations, Wipe, preview + program transitions — reported working 2026-10-29.
• ✅ Brand logo layer — reported working 2026-10-29.
• ⏳ Vertical-tier camera check (Live tile inside the band, Chat rect-only) — outstanding.
• ⏳ Webcam cadence: a Release take in the failing geometry (vertical tier first) blocks Units 1–2. No fix until a reading names the stage.

1.0 gates (before the first shipped build)

• Visibility picker — replace the always-Private lock, hide the TEST button, and wire UpdateBroadcast in the same unit (it is the only code that can change a broadcast's privacy).
• Kill the dev multi-instance affordance — Helpers/InstanceProfile.cs is already #if DEBUG; re-prove it on a Release build.
• Release engineering — scripts/publish.sh done (self-contained win-x64, ffmpeg\ guarded, no test artifacts), LlamaCasty.exe assembly rename done, full license texts beside THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt (TASK 4 req 9). Outstanding: Debug-only InternalsVisibleTo.
• Gold pass (TASK 36): the screens/layers audit, native-Windows verification, and the branding-flash decision.
