A player on /live

ZAOstock ZAOstock

A player on /live: half answered 21 Sept. Clean audio comes from the BetterCallZaal account (desk #11). On the call: it embeds a YouTube or Twitch feed, which one "not sure still". IMan wires it once the feed is picked. Was: A player on /live, yes or no. The Day 263 preview links "watch the live stream" to zaostock.com/live, and that page has no player: the four ways in and the YouTube channel link only. The newsletter promises 12 to 6 Eastern, no sign-up. Yes means IMan builds an embed slot behind WATCH_HREF with a holding state until the stream URL lands; no means /live waits for the stream test and the platform ruling. Sent through ZOE 20 Sept 18:11 UTC

History, newest first

Mon 21 Sept

Checked in at 13:05 CAT, plain text, then again tagged at 13:10 with the two open questions: the /live player (yes or no) and whether the Wallace Events tent is booked.
/live still has no player. WATCH_HREF is null on main. No stream test pin.
Call, 22:36 CAT, 5 min, Discord coworking, recorded on Craig. Transcribed; mixed audio sent to Zaal's DM at 22:58 CAT. /live embeds a YouTube or Twitch feed, not decided. The Wallace tent has been up all summer. New: IMan shares Zaal's daily points challenge for a week, next one ends 5 PM ET on 22 Sept. Facebook: a ZAOstock page under the ZAO Festivals account, every organiser as admin, Zaal sets it up. Flyer good to go; videos posted to the main page.

Sun 20 Sept

Zaal in ZAO Festivals, 15:41 UTC: tagged IMan with the Day 263 newsletter preview, "13 days until ZAOstock", and asked what he thinks. It names all eight acts in running order, links RSVP, rooms, Acadia, the design kit, volunteers, tickets, sponsor, and the stream. Every link resolves. He also posted zaostock.com/brand at 14:44 UTC asking whether more logos are needed.
The stream link goes to /live, and /live has no player. The page shows "ZAOstock, live." and the four ways in; the only destination on it is the YouTube channel. The newsletter promises 12 to 6 Eastern with no sign-up. Sent Zaal one question through ZOE at 18:11 UTC: build the player now, yes or no. ZOE confirmed it reached his inbox. Needs Zaal row 15.
Day 263 preview reviewed for Zaal: voice fits the daily posts, every link resolves, running order matches /program. Two fixes before it goes out: the tickets page has no checkout until the Stripe links land (row 10), and /live has no player (row 15). Worth a check: the Wallace Events tent is stated as booked while his own board still lists the tent quote as open.

Fri 18 Sept

/live, the day-of half: ZAOstock #225. The page was written before the 15 Sept call and three settled things had never reached it, none of them gated on the stream test:
Clean: the homepage, /program, /artists, /partners, /tickets, /donate, /musicians, /event-organizers, /brand, /live, /ellsworth. No Hurricane, no ENTERACT or Web3Metal, no reveal date, no "confirmed agreement" partner line. All eight artist pages return 200, including the four with no bio yet.
Nothing about the viewer: no /live, no Telegram fallback, no watch parties.

Thu 17 Sept

Stream test date, which gates WATCH_HREF on /live.

Wed 16 Sept

zaostock.com/live is the main stream link. Everywhere else carries it.
zaostock.com/live: stream info and player.
zaostock.com/live shipped (ZAOstock #196). IMan's part is one constant, WATCH_HREF, and only after a stream test passes. No platform named publicly before a run passes.

Tue 15 Sept

Before 3 Oct: zaostock.com/live page, voice shout-outs track for the DJ deck.

On the timeline

21 Sept: Inbound: nothing new on the desk. Found in ZAO + IMAN that ZOE could not show Zaal the questions IMan relayed through her, so check-ins now tag her and carry the questions (IMan's rule). Checked in 13:05 CAT. Live check: Zaal landed both Stripe links and the Buy Button on 20 Sept evening, checkout is live on /tickets and /donate, Needs Zaal 10 closed; 8 of 8 acts on the site, photos 6 of 8; main 7a655b1, 44 commits #250 to #281; /live still has no player, no stream pin. The 20 Sept call with Danny transcribed from all three tracks and put on the desk: Danny in the ZAO Artizen fund, his stream Wed 7 Oct, a Wave Station daily quest designed, Zaal wants IMan and Danny in a group, and a ZAO Artizen team site after 3 Oct. Afternoon: desk #9 done and closed, the Gmail triage routine live from IMan's account, first run passed; it surfaced the Ellsworth Chamber poster ask, now task 14. Desk site: seven deploy tries, real cause found (Vercel blocks deploys whose commit author is not in the one-seat hobby team), fixed with a git-free deploy script; site current at 15:49 CAT. Call with Zaal 15:30 CAT. DMs read: Stripe $20 test agreed, Discord time set. Cowork bot swept, #1282 run, 0 open PRs. Evening: Chamber poster made; master doc paste refreshed against the live doc (six wrong lines); desk link and DNS ask sent to Zaal. Zaal answered six questions on #11 and asked about Unlock on #10 (answered, not mid-way); second call 22:36 CAT recorded, transcribed, audio sent to him. New: daily points challenge for a week, a ZAOstock Facebook page.
20 Sept: Inbound check. Five more relays from Zaal's seat on #8 (19 Sept afternoon) folded in: zpoidh yes (found already merged as #107 on 4 Sept, row 9 closed), master doc edit access (row 11 closed), Gemini key "ask IMan" (row 7 rewritten), "do it now" on the footage and DJ repo, and a new Facebook page-admin ask (task 13). Live check: 4 of 8 acts published, main 50e5e9b, #229 and #242 to #249 merged overnight. Zaal ruled marketing goes to the ZAO Festivals group. ZAOstock Daily v34 with a Sunday block covering the week. Afternoon: the desk site got a page per task (whole-card links, drafts inline, history from every update), a premium restyle, and two fixes; found that iman-desk.vercel.app times out on IMan's ISP because two Vercel addresses are dropped in Lusaka, not a repo problem. IMan on the video ad final cut. Reviewed the Day 263 preview for Zaal: voice fits, links resolve, tickets and /live need fixing first. Call with Zaal and Danny recorded, one of three tracks transcribed. Evening: Zaal posted the Day 263 newsletter preview in ZAO Festivals and asked IMan what he thinks; its stream link goes to /live, which has no player. Asked Zaal through ZOE whether to build one now, Needs Zaal 15. Zaal also opened desk #9, the Gmail triage routine, for IMan to create from his own account.
18 Sept: /live day-of half up as ZAOstock #225; site drift audit found two set times and a closed bounty published on /build, fixed in #226. Stream run sheet rewritten, #227, and the stage manager page, #228: both were cueing five acts, Hurricane and a WaveWarZ block. Zaal merged the checkout wiring (#223) and fixed a prototype-key bug in it (#224). Tracker moved to $75 a Thursday. Evening: radio copy for 19 Sept written; live check bios 6 of 8, photos 4 of 8; desk #6 closed against Zaal's zao-repos; found his bot does not read the desk, told him on #8.
16 Sept: Round two call transcribed and put on the desk. Issue #7 folded in: poster ruled, routes confirmed, /live shipped, Freymon.eth corrected. Needs Zaal 11 to 9.
