+# LAST_STATE — 2026-09-02
+
+Session sign-off snapshot. Read this first when resuming the multistreaming work.
+
+## 1. Done: multistreaming E2E test (podman) — all passing
+
+Tested the whole app in rootless podman: built `multistreaming:test` from
+`services/multistreaming/Dockerfile`, ran with `--network host`, `AUTH_MODE=local`, volume
+`ms-test-data`.
+
+- HTTP API smoke: health, auth config, providers, register/login/session, `/api/me`, `/api/state`.
+- RTMP ingest: published 12s `testsrc2` with host ffmpeg → feed went live in state, cleaned up on unpublish.
+- Passthrough fanout: `-c copy` child pushed to a local `ffmpeg -listen 1` RTMP sink on :1936;
+  sink file probed as h264 1280×720, 12.004s — exact copy, 0 restarts.
+- Scene composition: grid scene + text overlay activated → passthrough suspended, composed child
+  ran; sink file h264 1920×1080 + aac program audio; drawtext overlay confirmed rendered
+  (white-glyph pixel analysis; fanout log shows the correct filter graph).
+- Persistence: accounts/rooms/feeds survived container recreation (volume).
+
+Scratch scripts: `/tmp/ms_test/` (passthrough.sh, scene.sh, verify-fix.sh, ids.txt…).
+Test recipe in Claude memory: `memory/multistreaming-podman-test.md`.
+Test container `ms-test` may still be running (panel :8080); teardown:
+`podman rm -f ms-test && podman volume rm -f ms-test-data`.
+
+## 2. Done: Dockerfile font path fix (committed)
+
+`src/config.js` defaults `SCENE_FONT`/`SCENE_FONT_BOLD` to Debian's
+`/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/`, which does not exist in the Alpine image (fonts live in
+`/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/`). drawtext only worked via FFmpeg's fontconfig fallback.
+Fixed by setting the Alpine paths as ENV in `services/multistreaming/Dockerfile`. Rebuilt,
+re-verified (fanout log shows the correct fontfile, overlay still renders).
+
+## 3. In progress: OBS-style rework of the web panel (`services/multistreaming/web`)
+
+Reference image: `reference1.png` (repo root) — an OBS Studio screenshot:
+left dock Scenes+Sources, center program canvas, right dock Audio Mixer + Scene Transitions +
+Controls, bottom status bar. (Image viewing is broken in this environment; the layout was decoded
+via OCR.)
+
+**User-approved target layout — variant B:**
+
+```
+┌──────────┬──────────────────────┬───────────────┐
+│ SCENES   │                      │  CONTROLS     │
+│          │    PROGRAM PREVIEW   │  Start/Stop   │
+│ SOURCES  │    (live feed)       ├───────────────┤
+│ (media)  │                      │  Rooms/Vaults │
+│          ├──────────────────────┤  User/Members │
+│          │  MIXER  │ TRANSITIONS│               │
+└──────────┴──────────────────────┴───────────────┘
+```
+
+- **Left dock**: Scenes + Sources (media feeds) + Destinations (output routing) + Images.
+- **Center**: simulated 16:9 program canvas; beneath it Audio Mixer + Scene Transitions panels;
+  OBS-style slim status bar at the bottom.
+- **Right sidebar**: Streaming Controls + app nav (rooms/vaults/user, moved from the left) +
+  Members. The current left `AppSidebar` and right `RoomSidebar` are both absorbed into this one
+  right sidebar.
+- **Simulated program canvas** (no real video pipeline): render from scene data — grid/PiP layout
+  math mirroring backend `src/compose.js` (grid cell = floor(W/cols) × floor(H/rows), single live
+  feed promoted fullscreen, PiP main fullscreen + 480×270 window top-right); slot boxes with feed
+  names + LIVE badges; text/image overlays at their real coordinates scaled to the canvas
+  (text: x,y,fontSize,color,bold; image: x,y,width,height,opacity, src `/api/images/:id/file`).
+  Passthrough mode (no active scene): live feeds in a simple grid. Scene activate crossfades the
+  canvas (CSS transition keyed on `activeSceneId`).
+
+**Design decisions already made:**
+
+1. **Mixer**: active scene → one channel per scene-output with functional audio-routing control
+   (Program/Silent/Feed via `api.updateSceneOutput`) + animated meter when `runtime.running`.
+   Passthrough → channels = live feeds, decorative animated meters only (no real levels exist).
+2. **Transitions**: "Fade" + duration slider (localStorage, client-side only) controlling the CSS
+   crossfade of the simulated canvas on scene activate. Real video crossfade = future backend work.
+3. **Controls**: Start Streaming (existing `GrantDialog` flow), **Stop Streaming** (wire the
+   currently unused `api.stopStream` — zero call sites today), per-account grant/live status.
+   No Studio Mode / Recording / Virtual Camera (no backend equivalents).
+4. **Right sidebar**: Controls + NavVaults + NavRooms + NavUser + Members; renders vaults/rooms/user
+   even without a room open (Controls/Members room-only).
+5. **HomeView** unchanged, just rendered in the center column without a left sidebar.
+6. Keep prop-drilling + 3s `api.state()` polling (src/lib/use-app.ts); no state rewrite.
+7. SceneEditorDialog / ImageUploader / PromptDialogs stay dialogs; only mounting points move.
+
+**Current codebase facts (from exploration):**
+
+- Shell: `src/App.tsx` (SidebarProvider > AppSidebar + SidebarInset{header+RoomView|HomeView} +
+  RoomSidebar; global dialogs at App level). No router; nav via useApp `screen/roomId`.
+- Components: `app-sidebar.tsx`, `room-sidebar.tsx`, `room-view.tsx` (stacked cards), `scene-panel.tsx`,
+  `scene-editor.tsx` (606-line dialog), `dialogs.tsx` (GrantDialog 428-515), `image-upload.tsx`,
+  `home-view.tsx`, `nav-*.tsx`, `theme-provider.tsx` (`useTheme` unused in UI).
+- shadcn ui/ has sidebar/card/dialog/select/switch/toggle-group/badge/tooltip etc.
+  **Missing: slider** (build `ui/slider.tsx` from the `radix-ui` unified package already in
+  dependencies — no new npm deps).
+- `lib/api.ts` has every endpoint needed; `lib/types.ts` covers all state shapes.
+- Dark theme tokens are neutral gray (`src/index.css`); OBS look is dark blue-gray — subtle token
+  tint planned.
+
+**What remains:** implement the layout (no code written yet). The full implementation plan
+(component-by-component, canvas math, crossfade pattern, styling tokens, order, risks) is in
+`~/.claude/plans/starry-tickling-grove.md`.
