## Overview

#### Purpose
`live_stream` is a minimal browser-facing live-stream prototype. The repository exposes separate sender and receiver pages, suggesting a two-party media/session flow rather than a server application.

#### Entry Points
- Sender UI/session entry: `sender.html`
- Receiver UI/session entry: `receiver.html`

These standalone HTML files are the only executable application surfaces visible in the repository.

#### Sender Stage
`sender.html` is the producer-side boundary. It is expected to own capture or selection of stream content and initiation of a session toward a receiver. Any browser media APIs, connection setup, or signaling logic would be embedded in this page because no separate source modules are present.

#### Receiver Stage
`receiver.html` is the consumer-side boundary. It is expected to establish or accept a matching session and render/play the incoming live stream. Display and receiver connection lifecycle are therefore coupled in this page.

#### Primary Flow and Boundaries
The implied control/data path is:

1. A user opens `sender.html` and starts a stream/session.
2. Session/connection information must cross from sender to receiver through a mechanism implemented or manually mediated by the pages.
3. A user opens `receiver.html`, supplies or receives corresponding session information, and consumes the stream.

The sender/receiver split is the primary architectural boundary. No backend, API service, database, signaling server, package manifest, or deployment infrastructure is represented in the supplied tree.

#### Runtime and External Dependencies
The material runtime is a web browser serving or opening `sender.html` and `receiver.html`. Browser-provided media/network capabilities may be used, but the repository tree does not establish which APIs or external services are configured. `README.md` provides only the project name and no operational contract.

Main entry points: [`sender.html`](https://github.com/vishnu8406/live_stream/blob/main/sender.html) (Sender Page), [`receiver.html`](https://github.com/vishnu8406/live_stream/blob/main/receiver.html) (Receiver Page)

## Components

### Browser Runtime

Separate browser pages form the complete application surface.

- [Sender Page](https://github.com/vishnu8406/live_stream/blob/main/sender.html): HTML session UI · Captures or selects content and initiates the stream session. · `sender.html`
- **Capture / Stream Source**: browser media · Browser-provided media or selected stream content.
- [Receiver Page](https://github.com/vishnu8406/live_stream/blob/main/receiver.html): HTML session UI · Establishes the matching session and renders incoming media. · `receiver.html`
- **Stream Playback**: browser media · Incoming live stream display and playback.

### Other components

- **Sender User**: actor
- **Session Information Exchange**: peer coordination · Connection details are exchanged or manually mediated between pages.
- **Live Media Connection**: browser network stream · Direct or browser-managed stream transport implied by the two-page flow.
- **Receiver User**: actor
- [Project README](https://github.com/vishnu8406/live_stream/blob/main/README.md): documentation · Provides only the project name; no operational contract is defined. · `README.md`
