-**Shell:**
+1. **`NdiDiscoveryService.RunAsync` — immediate first poll + fast ramp.**
-- Default Windows title bar (no custom chromeless caption buttons).
+   `PeriodicTimer.WaitForNextTickAsync` waits the full interval before its
-- 32px header — Wild Dragon mark + "TeamsISO" wordmark left; three icon
+   first tick, so for a 500ms discovery interval the operator stared at
-  buttons right (⌘K command palette, theme toggle, settings gear).
+   "no ndi sources yet" for half a second on every cold start. Now: poll
-- 40px transport strip — single mono line:
+   once up front (picks up whatever the NDI runtime has already cached),
-  `● 02:14:32  PART 4 · LIVE 2  CTRL :9755`. Cyan dot + timer only when
+   then run a 200ms inner loop for ~3 seconds while mDNS replies trickle
-  at least one ISO live.
+   in, then settle to the operator-configured interval. Both loops share
-- Body — alert banner + update banner + action toolbar + participants
+   a try/finally so the NDI finder is always disposed.
-  DataGrid + (conditional) meeting bar at the bottom.
+2. **`MainViewModel.IsDiscovering` + new empty-state copy.** New boolean
-- Settings — slide-over drawer (420px from right) with OUTPUT / NETWORK /
+   property, true for 8s after engine start as long as no participants
-  APP tabs. Scrim click or Esc dismisses.
+   have arrived. `MainWindow.xaml` swaps the empty-state copy on this
-- v1 leftovers (72px rail, 380px permanent settings panel, six-column
+   binding:
-  footer) are gone.
+   - `IsDiscovering=true` → "scanning for ndi sources…" with a cyan dot
+   - `IsDiscovering=false` → "no ndi sources visible — is teams in a
+     meeting?" + Refresh CTA
+   The old copy was being shown immediately at launch even when discovery
+   just hadn't run yet, which read as "broken."
+3. **Single-instance mutex moved from `Local\` to `Global\`.** On admin-user
+   boxes with UAC effectively disabled, launches from different parents
+   can land in slightly different security contexts and a `Local\` named
+   mutex can be invisible to a sibling. `Global\` is system-wide and
+   integrity-agnostic; both processes see the same mutex regardless of
+   how they were spawned.
+4. **`installer/Package.wxs` — Desktop shortcut component added.** Now
+   installs both `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Wild Dragon\TeamsISO.lnk`
+   AND `C:\Users\Public\Desktop\TeamsISO.lnk`. Both point at the installed
+   exe under `C:\Program Files\Wild Dragon\TeamsISO\TeamsISO.exe`. (Previously
+   only the Start Menu component existed; on this machine even that wasn't
+   visibly materializing because the older WiX `Advertise` default left it
+   as a stub.)
 
-**Theme system:**
+**MSI:** `installer/bin/x64/Release/TeamsISO-Setup-0.9.0-rc5.msi` (372 KB).
-- `Themes/Theme.Dark.xaml` + `Themes/Theme.Light.xaml` — color brushes
+Already installed on this machine. Force-reinstall over an existing copy
-  only.
+needs `REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=amus` flags on msiexec because the wxs
-- `Themes/WildDragonTheme.xaml` — styles + control templates (no color
+`Version` is pinned to `1.0.0.0` and MajorUpgrade no-ops on same-version.
-  brushes; every brush ref is `DynamicResource`).
-- `Services/ThemeManager.cs` — swaps the merged dictionary at runtime;
-  reads `HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize\AppsUseLightTheme`
-  for System mode; subscribes to `SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanged`;
-  persists via `UIPreferences.Theme`.
 
-**Task 39 — participants table v2 (LANDED).**
+## Verified launch paths (2026-05-16 11:22)
-Five columns: 24px state LED, name + codec caption, 110px audio meter,
-130px mono output name, 100px ISO pill. 52px rows. Full-row
-active-speaker tint (replaces the v1 left-stripe).
 
-**Task 40 — Ctrl+K command palette (LANDED).**
+Tested by killing every TeamsISO process, then launching via each
-`Views/CommandPaletteWindow.xaml` + `ViewModels/CommandPaletteViewModel.cs`
+mechanism in turn and probing `http://localhost:9755/participants` after
-ship a centered 560×360 floating window with fuzzy search across Quick /
+4 seconds:
-Teams / Presets / Output / Network / App categories. ↑/↓ navigates,
-Enter invokes, Esc closes. The header ⌘K button and Ctrl+K (also Ctrl+P)
-keyboard binding both open it.
 
-**Hotkeys:**
+| Mechanism | Result |
-- `F1` — help / cheat sheet
+|---|---|
-- `Ctrl+K` (also `Ctrl+P`) — command palette
+| Start Menu shortcut (`…\Wild Dragon\TeamsISO.lnk`) | OK — 2 participants |
-- `Ctrl+T` — toggle theme (dark ↔ light)
+| Public Desktop shortcut (`C:\Users\Public\Desktop\TeamsISO.lnk`) | OK — 2 participants |
-- `Ctrl+M` — drop marker into every active recording
+| Direct `.exe` double-click in Program Files | OK — 2 participants |
-- `Ctrl+R` — refresh NDI discovery
-- `Ctrl+Shift+S` — panic-stop every ISO
-- `1`–`9` / `NumPad 1`–`9` — toggle the Nth visible participant's ISO
 
-## What's queued
+All three discover the Teams meeting's NDI sources (Active Speaker +
+Brendon Power in today's testing) within the cold-start grace window.
 
-Pre-1.0 cut is gated on:
+## Open items
-1. Code-signing the MSI (`SIGN_CERT_PFX_BASE64` + `SIGN_CERT_PASSWORD`
-   Forgejo Secrets wired in `release.yml`).
-2. A real-meeting smoke pass on a host with a live NDI runtime.
 
-## Build + run
+**Pre-1.0 cut is gated on:**
+
+1. Code-signing the MSI. `SIGN_CERT_PFX_BASE64` + `SIGN_CERT_PASSWORD`
+   need to be added to Forgejo Actions Secrets for the release.yml
+   workflow to start producing signed MSIs. Without that, downstream
+   users get the "Windows protected your PC" SmartScreen warning.
+2. Real-meeting smoke pass on a non-dev host with a live NDI runtime.
+
+**Other items still on the queue (from issue #1 polish-pass status):**
+
+- **Item 21** — `TeamsLauncher` fallback chain test coverage. Needs an
+  `IProcessLauncher` seam refactor before the URI handler → AppX → process-exe
+  order can be unit-pinned. Half-day of work; not blocking.
+
+## Where the layout sits
+
+**Shell:** Default Windows title bar; 32px header (Wild Dragon mark +
+wordmark + ⌘K / theme / settings icons); 40px transport strip
+(`● 02:14:32  PART 4 · LIVE 2  CTRL :9755`); body = alert/update banners +
+action toolbar + participants DataGrid + conditional meeting bar.
+
+**Participants DataGrid — 7 columns:** State LED (24) · Preview (106) ·
+Participant (*) · Audio (110) · Output (130) · CFG/gear (56) ·
+ISO toggle (124, rounded-rect, "Enable" / "● LIVE").
+
+**Theme:** `Themes/Theme.Dark.xaml` + `Themes/Theme.Light.xaml` split from
+`WildDragonTheme.xaml`; `ThemeManager` runtime-swaps the merged dictionary
+and follows `HKCU\...\Personalize\AppsUseLightTheme`.
+
+**Hotkeys:** F1 help, Ctrl+K / Ctrl+P command palette, Ctrl+T theme
+toggle, Ctrl+R refresh, Ctrl+Shift+S panic stop, 1–9 / NumPad 1–9 toggle
+Nth participant ISO.
