Fix the 4659-char '### Status:' mega-heading that rendered TASK 3's status in
title font through TASK 4. Every task now opens with a TASK-1-style
'### Status:' block using task-list markers (green check = done, empty box =
pending, red check = exception). Converted every remaining bullet list to
numbered lists; added a marker legend at the top; corrected TASK 4
requirement 2's stale binary facts (static -> lgpl-shared, extract exe + the
libav*.dll family).
IFfmpegLocator seam that resolves ffmpeg.exe (PATH -> cache -> pinned download),
plus the licensing compliance that makes a paid GA product defensible.
NOTE FOR USERS: this change shows NO difference in the app's behavior except a
new top-bar "About" button (opens THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt). It is scaffolding
for the encoder/streaming work.
- Services/Encoder/: IFfmpegLocator + FfmpegLocator. Pin is BtbN lgpl-shared
autobuild-2026-08-09-13-03 (NOT gyan.dev/GPL or static: LGPLv2.1 §6 static
relink material avoided by dynamic linking); extracts ffmpeg.exe + libav*.dll
via a staging dir so a crash never leaves a partial cache
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt: LGPL/BSD/MIT notices + source offer, copied to the
build output, surfaced by the About button; v1 gate = bundle full license
texts (TASK 4 requirement 9)
- ai.md "Licensing - do not violate" guardrails (never GPL/nonfree/static/latest-
tag, never link FFmpeg in, never drop notices); TASKS.md + Services/index.md
updated
- Tests: FfmpegLocatorTests - hermetic decision-ladder integration test + shared-
build DLL extraction + edge cases; docs updated (78 tests passing, 0 warnings)
Software compositor that renders a scene into the encoder's master VideoFrame,
mirroring the XAML preview minus editing chrome: backdrop -> background ->
elements (UniformToFill cover-crop, round clip, mirror, opacity, border) ->
branding flash.
NOTE FOR USERS: this change shows NO difference in the app's UI — it is pure
backend scaffolding laying the groundwork for live video capture/streaming.
The preview you see is unchanged.
- Services/Compositor/: SceneCompositor (Render(scene, frameFor resolver,
flashFrame, CompositorOptions)), CompositorOptions (source rect + output
size; 16:9 full master, vertical 607x1080 -> 1080x1920), StretchMath (pure
UniformToFill + bilinear), StaticPixelCache (asset bytes -> BGRA8 frame)
- Frame sources injected via Func<SceneElement, VideoFrame?> resolver, so the
compositor is pure, WPF-free, and hermetic to test (D3D11 upgrade behind the
same seam later)
- SceneElement.TryGetBorderColor public (shared hex parse), stale
MainViewModel comment fixed, pre-existing CS1998 in YouTubeAuthServiceTests
cleaned up
- Tests: SceneCompositorTests integration (full scene + vertical tier + flash)
+ StretchMath units, docs updated (72 tests passing, 0 warnings)
- Meter is a READ-ONLY realtime level display: fill = Math.Min(1, AudioLevel * MicVolume) (AudioLevel = live input from the future mixer, 0 with no input; MicVolume is gain on ambient noise). While the slider is dragged the bar previews the slider position (PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown/Up + LostMouseCapture -> SetVolumeAdjusting); on release it returns to the live level (bounces to 0 with no input). Clicking the meter does nothing.
- MicVolume drives MicMuted (read-only, muted <=> volume 0): sliding to 0 flips the speaker to the red slashed mute icon, sliding up from 0 clears it; speaker button runs volume to 0 or restores the prior level (_volumeBeforeMute, default 0.8) and flashes the meter to the restored position for ~300ms (BeginVolumeFlash/EndVolumeFlash DispatcherTimer, cancelled if the slider is grabbed).
- MIC label opens MicPickerDialog (WinRT audio-capture device enumeration, mirrors camera picker, no new packages); the chosen voice source name shows left-justified INSIDE the meter bar (fill at 75% opacity so text + ruler markings show through).
- New files: Services/IMicrophoneEnumerator, MicrophoneDeviceInfo, WinRtMicrophoneEnumerator; ViewModels/MicPickerViewModel; MicPickerDialog.
- Docs updated (ai.md, TASKS.md, Services/index.md, ViewModels/index.md); build 0 warnings, 65 tests passing
