Your show.
In perfect sync.

LiveStage Pro is in a focused pre-show hardening cycle for the October 24 Sovereign Estates Winery Chilifest gig. The latest production-level review was treated as an opportunity to remove uncertainty from existing workflows—not as an excuse to add another layer of features before the show.

Connection changes now retire pending commands cleanly so an old response cannot strand or disturb the current session. Host and Connected Client authority are enforced more consistently, large assets stream through bounded paths, local-only controls have tighter network boundaries, and shutdown behavior gives audio, MIDI, and the embedded server a defined completion path.

Watch state rejects older snapshots and carries the performer’s explicit Play or Pause intent instead of reinterpreting a toggle later on the phone. When two tabs or devices present the same saved identity, the retired client stays retired until the performer deliberately takes over; ordinary Wi-Fi recovery remains automatic. Physical Safari takeover and basic native reconnection have passed focused checks, while paired Watch and full-network rehearsal remain promotion gates.

Content recovery received the same treatment. Hidden staging and recovery packages no longer appear as installed Songs, Setlists, Members, Bands, or Libraries, and replacing bundled samples preserves the original until the new package is safely installed. Failure paths retain recoverable data and report what happened instead of silently converting cleanup trouble into content loss.

The show plan remains intentionally conservative: freeze a rehearsed build, verify the Mac Host, iPhone, iPad, Watch, browser clients, MIDI destinations, audio, lighting, reconnection, and recovery on the production network, then let the gig provide the next evidence. Setlist overrides, presentation persistence, iPad hosting, and router-free native networking remain later steps—not pre-show scope.
