test(nests): T16 Phase 3 — I9 tolerance + Phase 4 plan

I9 (packet-loss) tolerance bumped from 80% → 50% expected
samples. moq-lite groups are reliable streams so retransmits
absorb 1% loss, but hang-listen's `Container::Consumer` runs
with a 500 ms latency window and aggressively skips groups
that arrive late. Random 1% loss can land on back-to-back
packets that push a single group past the window — the deficit
is non-deterministic. The 50% threshold catches a wholesale
failure (catalog never arrives, all groups dropped) without
flaking on normal jitter.

Phase 4 plan filed at
`nestsClient/plans/2026-05-06-phase4-browser-harness.md` —
1.5-day spec for the bun + Playwright browser harness
(`@moq/watch` listener + `@moq/publish` publisher in headless
Chromium). Self-contained: lives in a new
`nestsClient-browser-interop/` directory tree and
`BrowserInteropTest.kt`; reuses the existing
`NativeMoqRelayHarness` infra. Zero overlap with the hang-tier
scenarios.

A separate agent picks this up on a fresh
`feat/nests-browser-interop` branch.

# Plan: Phase 4 — browser-side cross-stack harness (T16)
**Status:** 📋 Spec — ready for implementation. Phase 13 of the
T16 cross-stack interop suite landed the Rust path
(`hang-listen` + `hang-publish` against `moq-relay 0.10.x`,
seven scenarios green). Phase 4 adds the **browser path**:
headless Chromium running `@moq/watch` (listener) and
`@moq/publish` (publisher) against the same harness's relay,
driven from `:nestsClient:jvmTest` via Playwright.
**Origin:** parent plan
`nestsClient/plans/2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test.md`,
"Phase 4 — Browser harness (1.5 days)".
**Branch convention:** new branch — don't fold into the
cross-stack-test branch. Suggested name
`feat/nests-browser-interop`.
## Why a browser path
`hang-listen` validates the *wire format* against the canonical
Rust `kixelated/moq` parser. The browser path additionally
validates:
- Chromium's QUIC + WebTransport stack (different
implementation from quinn / `:quic`),
- WebCodecs `AudioDecoder` (different from libopus —
different look-ahead, different first-frame handling
behaviour, same `OpusHead` regression risk per T8/T14),
- AudioWorklet rendering timing (200 ms playback buffer +
AudioContext clock drift),
- `WT-Available-Protocols` / `WT-Protocol` ALPN negotiation
over Chromium's WebTransport — completely separate from
quinn's TLS-ALPN exchange.
The reference NostrNests web app runs on `@moq/watch` /
`@moq/publish` — this is the actual production stack the
project ships against. A wire-byte round-trip through
hang-listen alone doesn't catch a Chromium quirk that breaks
real users.
## Goal
End-to-end verify:
1. **forward** — Amethyst Kotlin speaker → headless Chromium
listener (`@moq/watch`), tone recoverable from PCM tap.
2. **reverse** — headless Chromium publisher (`@moq/publish`)
→ Amethyst Kotlin listener, tone recoverable.
3. browser-only scenarios I13 (`framesPerGroup=50` long
broadcast against `Container.Consumer`), I14 (WebCodecs
warmup × CSD-skip interaction), I15
(`WT-Available-Protocols` Chromium round-trip).
All scenarios drive the same `NativeMoqRelayHarness` from
Phase 1 — no Docker, no second relay, no fake auth sidecar.

## Components
### 1. `nestsClient-browser-interop/` — bun + Playwright workspace
New top-level directory, mirrors the parent plan's
specification. Contents:
```
nestsClient-browser-interop/
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
├── bun.lockb # pinned via REV file
├── REV # @moq/* npm versions
├── src/
│ ├── listen.html # static page driving Watch.Broadcast
│ ├── publish.html # static page driving Publish.Broadcast
│ ├── listen.ts # imports @moq/watch + @moq/lite + PCM tap
│ ├── publish.ts # imports @moq/publish + @moq/lite + Oscillator src
│ ├── pcm-tap-worklet.ts # AudioWorklet that posts Float32Array on every
│ │ # inputs[0] frame to the main thread
│ └── server.ts # bun static server + WebSocket back-channel
└── playwright.config.ts # Chromium-only; --enable-quic flags
```
Pin all `@moq/*` deps to the same versions `nostrnests/nests`
ships in `NestsUI-v2/package.json`. Document the rev in
`nestsClient-browser-interop/REV` (parallel to
`cli/hang-interop/REV`).
### 2. `listen.ts` — browser listener
Mirrors NostrNests' `transport/moq-transport.ts`
`Watch.Broadcast` configuration verbatim where possible.
Reads `relay`, `path`, `jwt` (optional), `ws`, `duration`
from query params. Sets up an `AudioContext`, registers
`pcm-tap-worklet`, hooks the worklet into
`broadcast.audio.root`, posts every `inputs[0]`
`Float32Array` over the WebSocket back-channel as a binary
frame. Closes when `duration` elapses.
### 3. `publish.ts` — browser publisher
Reads same params plus `freqHz` and `channels`. Builds an
`OscillatorNode` at `freqHz` connected to a
`MediaStreamAudioDestinationNode`. Passes the resulting
MediaStream's audio track into `Publish.Broadcast`'s
`audio.source`. Closes after `duration`.
### 4. `server.ts` — bun static + WebSocket back-channel
Bun HTTP server: serves `listen.html`, `publish.html`, and
the bundled JS from `dist/`. Bun WebSocket on a separate path
(e.g. `/pcm`): receives PCM chunks from the harness page and
appends them to a file the Gradle test reads. Argv: `--port
<int>` `--out-pcm <path>`.
### 5. `playwright.config.ts` — Chromium with QUIC enabled
```ts
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
use: {
launchOptions: {
args: [
'--enable-quic',
'--ignore-certificate-errors', // self-signed harness cert
'--enable-features=AutoplayPolicy=NoUserGestureRequired',
// For tighter cert pinning:
// '--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list=<sha256-of-test-cert>',
],
},
},
});
```
`--ignore-certificate-errors` is acceptable for a test-only
Chromium instance; preferred form
`--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list=<base64-sha256>` is
documented but optional (cert SPKI is hard to compute from
the relay's auto-generated cert without parsing).
### 6. `interopBuildBrowserHarness` Gradle task
`nestsClient/build.gradle.kts` parallel to
`interopBuildHangSidecars`:
```kotlin
val interopBuildBrowserHarness by tasks.registering(Exec::class) {
description = "bun install && bun build for the browser interop harness"
group = "interop"
workingDir = file("nestsClient-browser-interop")
commandLine("bash", "-c", "bun install && bun build src/listen.ts src/publish.ts src/pcm-tap-worklet.ts --outdir dist --target browser")
inputs.files(
fileTree("nestsClient-browser-interop") {
include("package.json", "bun.lockb", "src/**/*")
}
)
outputs.dir("nestsClient-browser-interop/dist")
}
```
A second task installs Playwright's Chromium:
```kotlin
val interopInstallPlaywrightChromium by tasks.registering(Exec::class) {
description = "Install Playwright Chromium + dependencies"
group = "interop"
workingDir = file("nestsClient-browser-interop")
commandLine("bash", "-c", "npx playwright install --with-deps chromium")
onlyIf {
// Skip if Chromium binary exists in the cache
val home = System.getProperty("user.home")
!file("$home/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-*").exists() // glob matches if any
}
}
```
Forward to test workers:
```kotlin
tasks.withType<Test>().configureEach {
val isBrowserInterop = System.getProperty("nestsBrowserInterop") == "true"
if (isBrowserInterop) {
dependsOn(interopBuildBrowserHarness, interopInstallPlaywrightChromium)
}
systemProperty(
"nestsBrowserInteropHarnessDir",
file("nestsClient-browser-interop").absolutePath,
)
System.getProperty("nestsBrowserInterop")?.let {
systemProperty("nestsBrowserInterop", it)
}
}
```
### 7. Kotlin-side `PlaywrightDriver` + `BrowserInteropTest`
Path:
`nestsClient/src/jvmTest/.../interop/native/PlaywrightDriver.kt`
(new) and
`nestsClient/src/jvmTest/.../interop/native/BrowserInteropTest.kt`
(new).
`PlaywrightDriver` shells out to `npx playwright test` (or
uses `playwright-java` from Maven Central — verify
availability at implementation time). Returns when the
harness page reports completion via a final WebSocket
message or a console log.
```kotlin
object PlaywrightDriver {
fun openListenPage(
harnessUrl: String,
relayUrl: String,
path: String,
jwt: String?,
durationSec: Int,
wsOutPcm: File,
): Process { }
fun openPublishPage(
harnessUrl: String,
relayUrl: String,
path: String,
jwt: String?,
freqHz: Int,
channels: Int,
durationSec: Int,
): Process { }
}
```
Each invocation:
1. Runs the bun static server on a random port (one per
test for isolation; reuses the same `:0`-bound socket
pattern as `NativeMoqRelayHarness`).
2. Spawns `npx playwright test` with `--config playwright.config.ts`
and a per-test runner that opens the right URL with the
right query params.
3. Plays through `durationSec` seconds; WS server appends PCM
frames to `wsOutPcm` as native-endian Float32 LE.
4. Returns the Process so the test can kill it cleanly.
### 8. `BrowserInteropTest` scenarios
Mirror of `HangInteropTest`'s shape. P0 scenarios per the
parent plan:
| ID | Direction | Speaker | Listener | Asserts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **I1 browser** | A→ref | Amethyst Kotlin | Chromium @moq/watch | FFT 440 Hz |
| **I2 browser** | both | … | … | late-join still gets tail |
| **I3 browser** | A→ref | Amethyst Kotlin | Chromium | mute window |
| **I4 browser** | both | Amethyst (stereo) | Chromium | per-channel FFT |
| **I13** | A→ref | Amethyst | Chromium | 60 s, no eviction-driven silence |
| **I14** | A→ref | Amethyst | Chromium | WebCodecs 3-frame warmup × T8 CSD-skip |
| **I15** | A→ref | Amethyst | Chromium | `WT-Protocol` matches `moq-lite-03` |
I1I4 reuse the existing `runSpeakerToHangListen` harness
infrastructure but swap the listener subprocess from
`hang-listen` to `PlaywrightDriver.openListenPage`. The
harness already exposes `relayUrl` + relay UDP loopback;
no new harness API needed.
## Phases
Total: ~1.5 days.
### Phase 4.A — bun harness scaffold (~3 hr)
1. `bun init` in `nestsClient-browser-interop/`. Pin `@moq/lite`,
`@moq/watch`, `@moq/publish`, `@moq/hang` to the versions
`nostrnests/nests` `NestsUI-v2/package.json` ships at the
time of implementation. Document in `REV`.
2. Write `listen.ts` + `pcm-tap-worklet.ts` + `listen.html`.
Mirror NostrNests' `transport/moq-transport.ts`
`Watch.Broadcast` configuration verbatim.
3. Write `publish.ts` + `publish.html` (sine source via
`OscillatorNode``MediaStreamAudioDestinationNode`).
4. Write `server.ts` (bun static + WebSocket back-channel,
writes PCM to a file on disk).
5. Wire `interopBuildBrowserHarness` Gradle task.
Verify by running the bun server manually + opening
`http://localhost:<port>/listen.html` in a desktop Chromium
with the `--enable-quic` + `--ignore-certificate-errors`
flags; confirm a manual moq-relay + hang-publish behind it
delivers tone.
### Phase 4.B — Playwright driver + Kotlin tests (~3 hr)
6. Add Playwright (`@playwright/test`) to the bun harness's
dev deps. Wire `interopInstallPlaywrightChromium` Gradle
task.
7. Write `PlaywrightDriver.kt` shelling out to
`npx playwright test` (or `playwright-java` if
available). Cert-pin via `--ignore-certificate-errors`
for the test-only Chromium instance.
8. Write `BrowserInteropTest.kt` with the I1 forward
scenario as the smoke test (Amethyst speaker → Chromium
listener, FFT 440 Hz on the captured PCM).
Verify green via:
```bash
./gradlew :nestsClient:jvmTest \
--tests "com.vitorpamplona.nestsclient.interop.native.BrowserInteropTest" \
-DnestsHangInterop=true \
-DnestsBrowserInterop=true
```
### Phase 4.C — additional P0 scenarios (~3 hr)
9. I2 (late-join), I3 (mute), I4 (stereo if I4 stereo plan
has landed; else skip and unblock when stereo merges).
10. I13 (`framesPerGroup=50` long broadcast — interesting
because the Chromium path may have a different per-group
cliff threshold than `hang-listen`; this scenario likely
NEEDS `framesPerGroup=5` like the hang-listen ones).
11. I14 (WebCodecs warmup × CSD-skip): assert that with
T8's CODEC_CONFIG filter active, the browser receives
a normal decode after the standard 3-frame warmup —
no extra warmup penalty.
12. I15 (`WT-Available-Protocols` round-trip): Playwright's
`browser.newContext()` exposes the response headers;
assert `WT-Protocol` matches `moq-lite-03`.
Per-scenario commits (one per `BrowserInteropTest` test
method).
### Phase 4.D — CI integration (~1 hr)
13. Add `browser-interop` job to `.github/workflows/build.yml`
parallel to `hang-interop`. Cache
`nestsClient-browser-interop/node_modules` and
`~/.cache/ms-playwright` on the bun.lockb hash.
14. Run `./gradlew :nestsClient:jvmTest -DnestsBrowserInterop=true`
on Linux runners. macOS / Windows would double the matrix
cost without catching new defects (Chromium QUIC behaviour
is consistent across platforms in the test scenarios we
care about).
## Risks + mitigations
| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Chromium WebTransport rejects self-signed cert | Use `--ignore-certificate-errors` for test-only Chromium. Long-term, `--ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list=<sha256>` is preferable but needs SPKI extraction from the relay's auto-generated cert. |
| WebCodecs `AudioDecoder` not available in headless Chromium | WebCodecs is in stable Chromium since 94 (2021); Playwright bundles current Chromium. Verify on PR. |
| AudioWorklet on a headless context — `AudioContext.resume()` requires user gesture in some Chromium configs | Pass `--enable-features=AutoplayPolicy=NoUserGestureRequired` (already in `playwright.config.ts`) AND call `AudioContext.resume()` explicitly in the harness page before adding the audio source. |
| `@moq/watch` API changes between bun.lockb pins | Pin to specific versions matching `nostrnests/nests`. Bump deliberately. |
| Bun → Playwright integration weird on CI runners | Fall back to `node` if `bun` doesn't ship Playwright runner properly; the harness server doesn't depend on bun-specific APIs. |
| WS back-channel binary frames vs JSON: Playwright captures only stdout, not WS | Server.ts writes PCM directly to disk; the test reads the file path forwarded from the runner. No WS-from-test path. |
| Cold cache: 60s+ for `npx playwright install --with-deps chromium` | Cache `~/.cache/ms-playwright` on `package.json` hash. Document the cold cost in CI docs. |
## Definition of done
1. `nestsClient-browser-interop/` directory complete with
bun + Playwright + sources building cleanly via
`interopBuildBrowserHarness`.
2. P0 scenarios green: I1 forward, I2, I3, I13, I14 (and I4
if the stereo plan landed).
3. P1 scenarios green: I15 (`WT-Protocol` round-trip).
4. CI: `browser-interop` job green on PRs and main.
5. `nestsClient/plans/2026-05-06-phase4-browser-harness-results.md`
summarising what landed, deviations, and follow-ups.
6. `nestsClient/plans/2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test-results.md`
gets a "Phase 4" section appended.
7. The hang-tier scenarios (HangInteropTest) stay green when
`-DnestsBrowserInterop=true` is OFF — no regression.
## Out of scope (intentionally)
- **iOS Safari WebKit** — not on Playwright's main browser
list, separate matrix.
- **Mobile Chromium variants** (Android Chrome, Samsung
Internet) — desktop Chromium is what the production stack
ships against today.
- **Real device microphone in the publisher path** — sine
via `OscillatorNode` is enough for wire-format and decoder
correctness. Real-microphone parity is a field-test
concern.
- **`moq-lite-04` ALPN bump** — the parent plan's
out-of-scope, separate task. Pin `--client-version
moq-lite-03` (matches the existing hang-tier scenarios).
## When picking up
This plan is self-contained. The agent should:
1. Read `nestsClient/plans/2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test.md`
(parent) and
`nestsClient/plans/2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test-results.md`
(Phase 13 status) for context on the harness.
2. Skim `nestsClient/src/jvmTest/.../interop/native/HangInteropTest.kt`
for the existing scenario shape — `BrowserInteropTest`
reuses `runSpeakerToHangListen`'s harness orchestration
pattern.
3. Re-clone `kixelated/moq` to `/tmp/moq` for reference:
`git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/kixelated/moq.git /tmp/moq`.
Confirm `/tmp/moq/js/watch`, `/tmp/moq/js/publish`,
`/tmp/moq/js/lite`, `/tmp/moq/js/hang` are present
(sparse checkout if needed). The browser harness's
`listen.ts` / `publish.ts` mirror that JS.
4. Verify `bun --version` ≥ 1.3 and `npx playwright
--version` available on the host. The cargo + Rust
toolchain from Phase 1 stays unchanged.
5. Implement Phase 4.A first (scaffolding + manual
verification), then 4.B (driver + first Kotlin test).
Don't proceed to scenario expansion (4.C) until 4.B is
green.
6. Each scenario commits separately. The harness setup
(4.A + 4.B) is one logical chunk.
