## Current Test

blocked on Phase 01 startup regression — micmap.exe all-white frozen window on launch (Debug + Release, fresh + stored %APPDATA%)

## Tests

### 1. M-1 end-to-end persistence cycle (CFG-01, CFG-05 — ROADMAP Phase 2 success criterion #1)

expected: Launch `mic_map.exe` → change device + sensitivity + duration + dashboardClickEnabled toggle → graceful quit → relaunch → UI displays previously set values (not defaults); `%APPDATA%\MicMap\config.json` contains the set values; no `config.json.tmp` leftover.

result: pending — `micmap.exe` does not render its UI on launch (all-white frozen window). Reproduces on Debug and Release builds, with both fresh-state (`rm -rf $APPDATA/MicMap`) and stored-state config. `mic_test.exe` launches normally, so WASAPI/audio path is fine. Phase 02 did not modify `apps/micmap/main.cpp`; the last commits touching it were Phase 01 `9545811` and `10112ba`. Cannot execute M-1 until Phase 01 startup regression is fixed.

## Gaps

### gap-01 — micmap.exe startup hang blocking M-1
status: blocked
owner: Phase 01 follow-up
evidence: `./build/apps/micmap/Debug/mic_map.exe` and `./build/bin/Release/micmap.exe` both show all-white frozen window on first paint; no ImGui render. `mic_test.exe` OK. Phase 02 did not touch `apps/micmap/main.cpp` or any VR/render code.
next_step: bisect `MicMapApp::initialize()` (`apps/micmap/main.cpp:168-230`) with logging markers to find the last executed line before hang. Suspects: `createDriverClient()` ctor (should be non-blocking per comment but verify), D3D11 swap-chain init, or Phase 01 driver sidecar side-effects on the non-VR micmap client. When fixed, re-run M-1 per `02-03-PLAN.md` Task 2.
