Webcam resource validation + first-frame proof + CameraConflictProbe: MediaCaptureFrameSource validates post-init (VideoDeviceId match, stream properties, reader StartAsync status), subscribes Failed/CameraStreamStateChanged → SourceFailed; CameraManager.AcquireAsync requires first-frame proof (4s timeout) — silent empty box impossible; MainViewModel surfaces WebcamError chip + MessageBox with suspect-app names; fallback ladder VideoPreview → VideoRecord; 19041 SDK projection gaps documented; AGENTS.md + schema.md + HANDOFF.md memory-map rules added; 81 tests passing, 0 warnings
