Some checks failed
CI / build-and-test (push) Failing after 26s
Massive misdiagnosis correction. The 2025-05-16 effort to 'fix elevation' has been actively breaking every Start Menu / Desktop shortcut launch since rc7. Empirical retrace:
- Elevated PowerShell -> Process.Start(exe) -> elevated TeamsISO -> WORKS
- Elevated PowerShell with --keep-elevation -> elevated TeamsISO -> WORKS (vm.Participants.Count=2)
- Non-elevated PS Process.Start(exe) -> medium TeamsISO -> WORKS
- ANY launch through runas /trustlevel:0x20000 -> SAFER-restricted TeamsISO -> BROKEN (window appears, zero managed code runs past BAML parse, no logs, no port binds)
The SAFER-restricted token that runas /trustlevel produces breaks .NET 8 WPF apphost in a way that leaves the process apparently alive (with the MainWindow.xaml rendering the empty state from default property values) but executing zero managed code. So my StartupTrace, Serilog file sink, and ControlSurface bind all silently failed for every shortcut launch. Looked exactly like 'cold-start NDI Find stuck at zero' from the outside but had nothing to do with NDI.
Revert:
- installer/Package.wxs: shortcuts target the .exe directly, no runas wrapper
- App.xaml.cs: removed ShouldDeElevate, TryDeElevateAndExit, RelaunchEnvVar, --keep-elevation/--relaunched handling. The check is gone, not just disabled, so future-me can't bring it back without re-discovering the same bug.
Kept:
- StartupTrace (still useful for any future startup mystery)
- Self-healing NDI Find rebuild (
