🆕 This afternoon · LightDesk 1.1

One engine on port 7070 drives the lights. Every version, the new two-screen desk and the classic single window, is a page on that engine, so either launcher controls the rig.

📖 Open the tutorial 🎛️ Open the desk studio wifi only

🖥️ On the PC desktop

Lighting Desk 1.1.cmd and Lighting Desk 1.1 (classic single window).cmd. Everything else is in Old launchers.

✅ Proven on the Mac

Fact: version 1.1 in all three headers and in /api/status app.version.
Fact: the classic window drives the new engine. Dry run: tap VERSE, the desk shows it LIVE.
Fact: commits 37f1fd6 and 27916fc.

🔍 What you opened and why it had no lights

PENDING Filled in once the PC check is back.

🔁 Build and swap

PENDING Folder, process id and how long the lights went dark.

📸 Proof shots

PENDING Both launchers on the PC, lights responding.

Your words and sources

Your words: “I just opened the Light Desk on the Lighting Computer and it opened up the old version. I want you to compile the new version and put that on the desktop as Lighting Desk 1.1.”
Your words: “Also, the old light desk is not controlling the lights anymore. All of the versions should all be controlling the lights if you open one or another.”
Fact, trc-lighting repo: 37f1fd6 versions the headers, status and help; 27916fc labels the classic window LightDesk 1.1 classic.
Fact: the tutorial copy here matches the repo help at stamp d297897. Chapter 10 names the Old launchers folder.

Aim drag. Drag on the stage to steer the picked heads, about 10 Hz when armed. 0 POSTs unarmed.
A/B crossfader. Under the moods on the desk and the phone. Thumb-only grab: a stray tap sends 0 POSTs.

🔧 Live-room fixes after round 2

Undo under a latched blackout releases it first and reads “back to: lights on.”
Aim turns off when you leave the Point screen.

Three strobe thumbnails read as black: FIRE FLICKER, STROBE PILLARS, BLUE LIGHTNING. They need a re-shoot with the lights on.
Unverified: whether the stage dips during the crossfader's 0.5 s B fade-in. The judge ran dry, fixtures unpowered.
A desk restart while the camera is stale can open the NDI monitor once. It is no longer pinned on top.

Screen 2 window fixes: NDI monitor closed and the camera feed no longer restores it (2e9fe48); the two desk windows are brought forward without flashing the taskbar (b5015c2, db0876b).

⚖️ Judge round 3: all SHIP

“Yes, a touring LD would leave a guest alone with these three screens and this tutorial for a Friday night, with one spoken instruction: ‘if Undo ever brings up two looks, tap the mood you want.’ After defect 1 ships, that instruction is unnecessary.”

The judge's answer to the one question. All six round 2 fixes measured PASS.

The six PASS checks

Crossfader taps away from the thumb: 0 POSTs. 15 Hz per look, complementary.
Undo under blackout releases it first, on all three surfaces.
Aim is off after Point, Halo, Point. Unarmed drag: 0 POSTs.
Recall mid-fade clears B.
Phone grid 407, 495 and 164 px with no B.
Rail two-line names never clip. Mid-fade tiles read “Live 50” green and “B 50” blue.

src conductor brief, judge round 3 at 2c9ec18 (secondhand)

✅ Round 3 defects: all fixed

Undo groups a crossfade: one “crossfade to B” entry, one press returns to A alone.
A red Dark tag shows on the desk and phone walls under blackout.
Rail sub copy no longer clips at 1536 px.
Phone landscape with B picked: grid 114 to 164 px.
House rules are one list, not three identical cards.
Screen 2 Undo reads “Undo: back to NAME”, never clipped at 1920 px.
Tutorial chapters 4 and 9 re-shot with the mid-fade tile tags.
