Live status header icon + redesigned videos page

Adds a real-time live indicator to the aspire.dev site header, immediately left of cookie preferences, and replaces the legacy /community/videos/ curated list with a focused two-tab live page for YouTube and Twitch.

When a stream is live, state is pushed to connected clients over Server-Sent Events from StaticHost. The header icon strobes everywhere except /community/videos/ and while native Picture-in-Picture is already open. Clicking the live header icon opens a native Document Picture-in-Picture window when supported, and falls back to the videos page otherwise. The PiP window is tracked as site-global state so it survives Astro client-side navigations without recreating the embed or interrupting playback; closing native PiP only closes PiP and does not redirect.

What's included

  • Frontend live icon, SSE client, header wiring, and videos page rewrite.
  • Native Document Picture-in-Picture controller for live embeds, with YouTube/Twitch embed selection from the server-provided primarySource and PiP-open state shared across Astro navigations.
  • YouTube/Twitch tab icons and offline channel embeds: YouTube loads the aspiredotdev channel live-stream embed and Twitch loads the aspiredotdev channel player even when no live event is active.
  • ASP.NET Core live-status backend with GET /api/live, GET /api/live/stream, Twitch EventSub webhook, YouTube WebSub webhook, and a dev-only override endpoint.
  • Twitch and YouTube background services with resilient named HttpClients, webhook signature validation, reconciling polls/subscription renewal, and safe idle behavior when provider credentials are missing.
  • AppHost dashboard URLs, Scalar API reference, and local dashboard commands for offline/online fake states and signed fake webhook invocations.
  • Server-side protection for dev/dashboard commands via a per-run secret AppHost parameter sent as X-Aspire-Live-Dev-Command-Key and validated by StaticHost.
  • wwwroot/.gitignore guard so local copies of the built frontend output cannot be accidentally added to source control.
  • Frontend scripts build:statichost and build:statichost:skip-search that build Astro directly into src/statichost/StaticHost/wwwroot while preserving the Scalar assets and ignore guard.

Local testing

Start the AppHost from the worktree root with aspire start --isolated --apphost .\src\apphost\Aspire.Dev.AppHost\Aspire.Dev.AppHost.csproj, open the Aspire dashboard, select the aspiredev resource, and run the live-status commands from the Actions context menu.

To refresh the local StaticHost static files without search indexing, run from src/frontend:

pnpm build:statichost:skip-search

In AppHost run mode, StaticHost gets Live__EnableDevEndpoint=true and per-run secret parameters for the dev command key and fake webhook signing keys. Without real provider API credentials, Twitch and YouTube workers stay idle, so the feature is effectively off until a dashboard command triggers it.

Useful endpoints on the aspiredev resource: /api/live, /api/live/stream, /api/live/twitch/webhook, /api/live/youtube/webhook, /api/live/_dev/set, and /scalar/v1. The Twitch webhook is POST-only for notifications and the YouTube webhook supports GET verification plus POST notifications; plain GETs now return descriptive text instead of an unhelpful 404.

Tests

  • tests/StaticHost.Tests covers webhook HMAC verification, YouTube Atom parsing, JSON shape, live-state aggregation, coalescing, subscribe/unsubscribe, and timing behavior.
  • src/frontend/tests/unit/live-status.vitest.test.ts covers the live-status client public API.
  • src/frontend/tests/e2e/live-status.spec.ts covers mocked /api/live + SSE behavior, header strobing, videos-page no-strobe behavior, PiP-open strobe suppression, native PiP click interception, PiP state surviving Astro client-side navigation, and idle channel embeds.

Configuration

"Live": {
  "EnableDevEndpoint": false,
  "DevCommandSecret": "",
  "Twitch": { "ClientId": "", "ClientSecret": "", "WebhookSecret": "", "ChannelLogin": "aspiredotdev" },
  "YouTube": { "ApiKey": "", "WebhookSecret": "", "ChannelHandle": "@aspiredotdev" }
}

User-secrets in dev, env vars / Key Vault in prod. Missing provider secrets degrade safely: the workers log and remain idle, while the API/SSE endpoints continue serving the non-live state.

- Adds a strobing live-status indicator in the site header (left of the
  cookie-preferences button) wired to a new /api/live SSE endpoint.
- Adds a custom floating PiP player that follows visitors across the
  site while live and returns them to the videos page on close.
- Replaces the legacy curated /community/videos/ page with a focused
  YouTube + Twitch tabbed page whose embed lights up when live.
- Adds an in-StaticHost background-worker stack:
  * Twitch EventSub stream.online/offline subscription + reconcile,
  * YouTube WebSub subscribe/renew + confirming poll fallback,
  * a debounced LiveStatusBroadcaster with sticky primary-source
    mesh logic and Channel<T> SSE fan-out.
- Surfaces the new endpoints + Scalar API reference (with a custom
  Aspire-brand theme) on the Aspire dashboard for local dev.
- Includes a worktree cleanup helper script and PR_BODY.md.

- StaticHost.Tests xUnit project: TwitchWebhookHandler (HMAC-SHA256
  round-trip + tamper detection), YouTubeWebhookHandler (HMAC-SHA1 +
  Atom video-id extraction), LiveStatusBroadcaster (sticky-primary
  mesh, coalesce window via FakeTimeProvider, subscribe/unsubscribe).
- vitest spec for live-status.ts public API.
- Playwright spec mocking /api/live + a controllable SSE stream to
  drive the header icon strobe and the floating PiP open/close UX.

22 backend xUnit tests + 3 vitest assertions all green locally.

- Enable an explicit AppHost local dev mode for live-status testing.
- Add dashboard HTTP commands on the StaticHost resource to fake Twitch
  and YouTube live events, including signed calls to the real webhook
  endpoints.
- Keep provider workers idle when API credentials are absent so local
  state only changes when commanded.
- Fix the live-status JSON contract to emit youtube, matching the
  frontend client, and add coverage for that shape.
- Document dashboard-command and manual HTTP testing paths.

Enable Astro client routing so same-origin site links swap content without unloading the opener document that owns the native Document Picture-in-Picture window. Update the live-status e2e coverage to click a real internal Docs link and assert the PiP iframe remains intact.

When both Twitch and YouTube are live, show an explicit live-source menu from the header action before opening native Picture-in-Picture. Keep the selected source sticky while it remains live and allow switching an existing PiP window without recreating it.

Also replace noisy iframe title attributes on the live embeds with aria-labels so the videos tabs keep an accessible frame name without hover title noise.

Add YouTube and Twitch icons to the live-source chooser and remove the redundant aspiredotdev helper text. Rename the Community sidebar entry and related live destination copy from videos to Live Streams.

Preserve the cookie consent root across Astro client-side body swaps so preferences continue to open after navigation. Restyle the live source chooser to align with the existing install modal treatment and cover the cookie regression with Playwright.

Always show the live chooser while live so users can pick native PiP, the aspire.dev embeds, or the provider platform directly. Add a session-scoped dismiss action that silences the strobing live notification for the current live event without hiding the live entry point.

Keep the live action dialog within narrow viewports and add mobile E2E coverage using mocked live status APIs. Also keep generated StaticHost output out of Debug build item discovery so local AppHost starts remain fast.

Make repeated live icon clicks toggle the live dialog, render the mobile dialog as a stable full-width sheet, restore a wider desktop menu with one-line labels, and harden mocked live-status E2E coverage for both layouts.

Anchor the mobile live action dialog below the top navigation instead of using a bottom sheet, add a top-right dismiss button matching the Install CLI modal affordance, and update E2E coverage for placement and dismiss behavior.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Use regular Fluent icon names for local live command actions, reorganize the live action dialog into PiP, embedded-player, and platform groups, add external-link affordances, and introduce a stable liveSessionId so dismissing a live notification covers near-simultaneous provider joins.

Account for the live status header action in the compact header reachability test and map it by tour target so the assertion remains stable when live-state labels change.

Pull request overview

Adds a new end-to-end “live status” feature to aspire.dev: StaticHost exposes live state + SSE + Twitch/YouTube webhooks, and the frontend consumes it to drive a header live icon, a redesigned /community/videos/ live page, and a site-global Document Picture-in-Picture experience.

Changes:

  • Implemented StaticHost live-status backend (JSON + SSE, Twitch EventSub + YouTube WebSub, background reconciliation/polling, dev-only override endpoint, Scalar OpenAPI in dev).
  • Added frontend live-status client + header integration + PiP controller, and rewrote /community/videos/ into a two-tab live embeds page.
  • Added comprehensive unit/e2e tests plus a build script to emit Astro output directly into StaticHost wwwroot.
