Adds a small auto-dismissing pill notification at the bottom-center of the participants area: 'Settings saved' on Apply Changes, 'Transcoder topology applied — restart Teams to take effect' after the one-click NDI groups setup. ToastViewModel owns its own DispatcherTimer and resets the dismissal countdown on successive calls, so the most recent message is always the one visible. Hooked into MainViewModel and threaded into GlobalSettingsViewModel via constructor injection.
_NEXT.md rewritten to reflect the May 2026 hardening pass: separates engine / UI / networking / Phase E.1 / diagnostics / CI / tests sections, lists every shipped item, and re-prioritizes the remaining work (Phase E.2-E.3 embedded Teams, code-signing the MSI, refresh-discovery affordance, output thumbnail previews, settings panel UX, auto-disable on departure, operator presets).
Two related deliverables addressing the user's morning asks.
1. Branding: Dragon WHITE.png and Wild Dragon Logo WHITE.png from the brand kit are copied into src/TeamsISO.App/Assets/ and registered as <Resource> items in the .csproj. The rail's placeholder 'W' glyph is replaced by the real dragon mark (40x40, HighQuality bitmap scaling) with a 'Wild Dragon' caption underneath.
2. NDI Access Manager automation: NdiAccessManagerConfig service reads/writes %APPDATA%\\NDI\\ndi-config.v1.json, working in JsonNode trees so we don't clobber unrelated keys. ApplyTranscoderTopology() sets groups.send=[teamsiso-input] and groups.recv=[public, teamsiso-input] so all local senders (Teams + anything else) broadcast on the private group while local receivers can still see public sources too. Engine-side, the user's per-pipeline OutputGroups override pushes TeamsISO outputs back onto Public so downstream switchers see clean ISOs.
Atomic write: temp + replace, with timestamped backup of the prior config. ReadCurrentGroups() can be used by future UI to show what's currently configured. RestoreDefaults() reverts.
Settings panel grows an 'Apply transcoder topology' button under the NDI Network section. Click writes the system config, sets the engine's discovery=teamsiso-input / output=public, refreshes the bound text boxes, and pops a dialog with a 'restart Teams' reminder + the backup path.
Adopts the design language from Dammyjay93/interface-design: warm Stone neutrals, accent orange (#EA580C), borders-only depth (no shadows), 8px spacing grid, all-caps section labels, mono typography for machine names and timecodes.
Themes/StoneTheme.xaml is the single source of truth for design tokens (color brushes, typography styles, spacing) plus restyled control templates (Button, TextBox, ComboBox, ComboBoxItem, CheckBox, DataGrid + DataGridColumnHeader / DataGridRow / DataGridCell, ScrollBar). MainWindow consumes the tokens and is laid out with a header (title + status pill), section-headed Settings sidebar (Output Format / NDI Network / Display), card-wrapped participant list, and a mono status footer.
Settings sidebar surfaces the new NDI group configuration (discovery + output) and a Hide-(Local) checkbox. The latter filters the user's own self-preview from the participants list at the MainViewModel layer (HideLocalSelf=true by default) so operators don't accidentally route their own preview as an ISO. Apply Changes round-trips both FrameProcessingSettings and NdiGroupSettings through the controller in one go.
