Removes the `hang-interop` + `browser-interop` jobs from
`build.yml` (added in commit `21947bc5` after a 10/10 stability
sweep × 22 tests = 220/220 hard-pass). Cold-cache cost is
~10 min hang + ~13 min browser; warm-cache critical-path add
is ~6 min via the parallel browser job. Most PRs don't touch
audio / MoQ / QUIC, so paying that cost on every PR is
net-negative for the change-pattern the repo sees.
Adds `nestsClient/tests/README.md` covering:
- when to run (changes to nip53 / moq-lite session / audio
pipeline / MoqLiteNests* / ReconnectingNests* / :quic /
the sidecars themselves);
- quick-start gradle commands for hang-only, browser-only,
combined;
- prerequisites + first-run cache costs;
- all the configuration knobs (incl. the
`-DnestsHangInteropTraceRelay=true` trace-capture switch
added during the routing investigation);
- known limitations (hot-swap browser soft-pass,
framesPerGroup pin-vs-prod gap, I7 cycle 2 truncation);
- a 4-step debug recipe for triaging a flaking scenario.
Plan updates:
- `2026-05-07-t16-closure-roadmap.md` — Priority 3 marked
⏸ DEFERRED instead of ✅ CLOSED, pointing at the new README.
- `2026-05-07-cross-stack-interop-ci-gating.md` — status
changed to ⏸ DEFERRED; YAML shape preserved verbatim in the
plan for the next revisit.
- `2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test-results.md`,
`2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test-gap-matrix.md` — CI
integration § rewritten to "manual-run only" + README link.
The trace-capture instrumentation in `NativeMoqRelayHarness`
stays in place; it's useful for future flake triage even
without CI.
T16 closure-roadmap Priority 2 (`2026-05-07-tighten-cross-stack-assertions.md`).
Replaces every `if (pcm.size <= warmupSamples) return@runBlocking`
short-circuit in `BrowserInteropTest` with a sample-count
`assertTrue` floor:
- I2 late-join: `≥ 1.5 s after warmup` (was vacuous-pass on cold-launch flake)
- I3 mute-window: `≥ 2.5 s` lower bound + tightened `< 5.0 s` upper (was `< 5.5 s`)
- I4 stereo: `≥ 1 s × 2 channels` (= sample-rate × 2 floats)
- I5 hot-swap: `≥ 0.5 s after warmup`
- I9 packet-loss: `≥ 0.5 s after warmup`
- I14 decoder-no-errors: `decoderOutputs ≥ 4` (3 warmup + ≥ 1 audio)
- Browser-publish baseline + reconnect: `runBrowserPublishKotlinListen`
helper hard-asserts on listener side instead of System.err-printing
and returning early.
These were soft-passes because the pre-merge `:quic` post-handshake
bidi-drop bug produced 0-frame outcomes ~50 % of the time, and we
didn't want to fail-flake the suite while the actor was still
unidentified. Trace capture in commit `b2a42d9a` pinned that
actor on `:quic`; merging `origin/main` (commit `8f8251a5`) closed
it; commit `eea746a6` documented the closure.
Sweep verification of the hardened assertions is pending — the
hardening commit lands first so the verification sweep runs
against committed state.
Gap matrix updated to reflect the post-merge stability + hard
floors landing.
8 plan files updated to reflect what's actually shipped vs. what
each doc said before:
- 2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test.md: 'Spec — ready to
implement' → 'Implemented and merged' with pointers to results,
gap matrix, and closure roadmap.
- 2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test-results.md: scenario
inventory updated to show all branches merged into
claude/cross-stack-interop-test-XAbYB; suite-flake caveats
flagged with cross-refs to the routing investigation; file
inventory now lists BrowserInteropTest + PlaywrightDriver +
the moved nestsClient/tests/browser-interop/ tree (no more 'in
sister branches not yet merged' section).
- 2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test-gap-matrix.md: T8/T10/T11/
T12/T13 all show hang ✅ + browser ✅; I13/I14 'NOT YET LANDED'
callouts removed; the 'in sister branch' qualifier on T13 / I7
/ I6 dropped; coverage-holes section replaced with caveat
pointers to the routing investigation.
- 2026-05-06-i4-stereo-cross-stack-scenario.md: 'Spec — ready for
implementation' → 'Landed' with PR #2755 + the three test
scenarios that ship the assertion.
- 2026-05-06-phase4-browser-harness.md: 'Spec — ready for
implementation' → 'Landed', with notes on how the implementation
diverged (used Container.Legacy.Consumer not @moq/watch; cert
pinning via serverCertificateHashes; I2/I3/I4/I13/I14 originally
deferred but later landed).
- 2026-05-06-phase4-browser-harness-results.md: status updated to
reflect 4.D CI removed per maintainer ask; layout note for
the nestsClient/tests/browser-interop/ relocation; full
scenario list reconciled with results doc.
- 2026-05-07-late-join-catalog-flake-investigation.md: status
updated to mention 00f6cba31 + 207057374 were reverted, and
link to 2026-05-07-moq-relay-routing-investigation.md as the
action plan. Adds note that the flake also affects four
browser-tier scenarios after Browser I7 landed.
- 2026-05-01-quic-stream-cliff-investigation.md: adds an HCgOY-
override banner — recommendation 2 (framesPerGroup = 5) was
superseded 4 days later by HCgOY field tests landing the prod
default at 50. Cross-refs the reconciliation + production-
rerun plans. Open follow-up #3 ('reset to 1') updated with
the same context.
No code or test changes.
Closes Definition of Done #5 from the cross-stack interop spec:
'Audit-branch fixes T1-T14 each have >= 1 hang-tier AND/OR
browser-tier scenario asserting their wire output. Gap matrix
committed at .../cross-stack-interop-test-gap-matrix.md'.
Maps each T# wire fix that landed in main (T8, T10-T14) to its
asserting interop scenario(s):
- T8 (CSD skip) -> I11 hang ✅, I14 browser ⏳
- T10 (mute endGroup) -> I3 hang ✅
- T11 (drop bestEffort) -> I9 hang ✅
- T12 (group seq h/s) -> I5 hang ✅
- T13 (decoder reset) -> I7 hang ✅ (in sister branch)
- T14 (GOAWAY) -> N/A in moq-lite-03 (IETF unit test only)
Notes the spec's 'T1-T14' is aspirational — only T8, T10-T14 are
concrete fix commits in main; T1-T7, T9, T15 never crystallised.
Documents two coverage holes: I13 (browser framesPerGroup=50 long
broadcast) and I14 (WebCodecs warmup x CSD-skip), both deferred
from Phase 4.C of the browser harness.
No code change.
