Removes the four trace points + debug-build auto-enable hook added in
the prior commit on this branch. They served their purpose locally
(confirmed the ~1s startup lag lives between pcm_decoded and
pcm_enqueued, i.e. AudioTrack ring backpressure), and don't need to
land in main.
Adds four trace points on the listener pipeline so an end-to-end JSONL
capture (`adb logcat -s NestsTraceJsonl:D -v raw > nest-trace.jsonl`)
shows wall-clock latency at every stage:
frame_received (MoqLiteSession.drainOneGroup, after trySend)
frame_object_mapped (MoqLiteNestsListener.wrapSubscription map)
pcm_decoded (NestPlayer.play, after decoder.decode)
pcm_enqueued (NestPlayer.play, after player.enqueue)
Each event carries (sub_id, group_seq, ...) or (track_alias, obj_id, ...)
so the same frame can be followed through all four stages. Deltas
isolate which segment owns the observed startup-only ~1s lag:
subscribe_send → first frame_received : relay forward latency
frame_received → pcm_decoded : Opus decode wall-time
pcm_decoded → pcm_enqueued : AudioTrack ring backpressure
pcm_enqueued → next pcm_decoded : decode-loop scheduling
Tracing auto-enables on debug builds when `NestActivity` opens and
disables on `onDestroy` so release apps pay only the field-load
guard inside `NestsTrace.emit`. Capture instructions are inline at
the call site in `NestActivity.onCreate`.
Surface a few code-quality wins surfaced by the simplify pass on the
moq-lite Lite-03/04 audit. All semantic-preserving; tests untouched
in behavior.
- **Derive `MoqLiteSession.version` from `transport.negotiatedSubProtocol`**
instead of carrying it as a separate constructor parameter. The
version was already redundant with the transport's negotiated
ALPN; deriving it eliminates the parameter on
`MoqLiteSession.client(...)` and the `resolveMoqLiteVersion()` /
`moqVersion` plumbing in `connectNestsListener` /
`connectNestsSpeaker`. Tests drive the version via
`FakeWebTransport.pair(negotiatedSubProtocol = …)`, which already
plumbs through to the session's derivation.
- **Extract `MoqLiteSession.rejectSubscribe(bidi, errorCode, reason)`**
helper that writes a `SubscribeDrop` body and `RESET_STREAM`s the
bidi. Both Subscribe-rejection arms (`BROADCAST_DOES_NOT_EXIST`
and `TRACK_DOES_NOT_EXIST`) now share this helper instead of
duplicating the runCatching / write / reset shape. Future drop
codes plug in without growing the duplication.
- **Make `StrippedWtStream.stopSending` non-nullable.** The demux
always wires it (every surfaced stream has a read side), so the
`?:` "defensive" fallbacks in `StrippedWtReadStreamAdapter` and
`StrippedWtBidiStreamAdapter` were dead code. Tightens the
`StrippedWtStream` contract and shrinks the adapters.
- **Extract `SEQ_BITS=23` / `SEQ_MASK=0x007F_FFFF` / `SEQ_MAX`
constants** in `MoqLiteSession.openGroupStream`. The bit-pack
formula now reads as `(trackPriority and 0xFF) shl SEQ_BITS) or
(sequence and SEQ_MASK)` — layout is named, not derived from the
hex literals scattered through the body.
Items deferred (noted but not done):
- `handleInboundBidi` arm extraction — the per-arm variable capture
(`dispatched`, `inboundSub`, `inboundSubPublisher`,
`inboundAnnouncePublisher`) makes a clean refactor harder than
the readability win. Defer until a future feature changes the
dispatch shape and the refactor falls out naturally.
- `Fake{Bidi,Read}Stream` / `ChannelWriteStream` constructor
parameter explosion — the cells-as-nullable-named-params shape
is already readable; the candidate `FakeStreamSignals` struct
would force a left/right-direction flag on the bidi side, which
is uglier than the explicit `myReset` / `peerReset` naming.
- `MoqLiteCodec` `object` → versioned `class` — the
`version: MoqLiteVersion = LITE_03` parameter on each method is
the idiomatic Kotlin shape for an optional-with-default
discriminator; converting to a class would bind state to
instances and complicate the test path that exercises both
versions per-call.
- `announce()` / `probe()` pump abstraction — borderline; the
embedded logging + tracing in `announce()` would have to be
parameterized into the abstraction. Worth revisiting if a third
similar pump appears.
- `MoqLiteSubscribeDropCode` / `MoqLiteStreamCancelCode` sealed-
class refactor — `Long` constants match the wire shape; sealed
types would force conversion at every API boundary
(codec accepts `Long`, transport accepts `Long`).
https://claude.ai/code/session_012TGfo99Ugz7fcCPv85a8Tq
Pre-fix, the M1 priority pack `((trackPriority and 0xFF) shl 24)`
would set bit 31 whenever `trackPriority >= 0x80`, producing a
negative `Int`. `QuicConnectionWriter.sortedByDescending { it.priority }`
sorts via signed `Int.compareTo`, so negative-signed values land
BELOW every positive priority — exactly inverting the intended
"higher trackPriority drains first" ordering.
The default `DEFAULT_TRACK_PRIORITY = 0x80` sits exactly on this
boundary, so this would have hit production the moment a hand-
tuned `trackPriority=0xFF` (highest intended) appeared in any
multi-track scenario.
Reshape the layout to keep bit 31 clear:
bit 31 : 0 (reserved as the sign bit)
bits 30..23 : trackPriority u8 (0..255)
bits 22..0 : sequence low 23 bits (~97 days at 1 grp/sec)
The trackPriority byte still occupies an 8-bit slot, just shifted
one bit lower. Sequence saturation moves from 24 bits (≈ 6 days)
to 23 bits (≈ 97 days) — still ample for the 9-minute JWT refresh
cycle.
Two regression tests:
- The existing `publisher_packs_trackPriority_and_sequence_into_setPriority_value`
is updated to assert the new bit layout AND that the encoded
value is non-negative.
- New `publisher_priority_pack_keeps_top_trackPriority_above_lower_trackPriority`
is the direct guard against the bug: `trackPriority=0xFF`
must encode HIGHER than `trackPriority=0x7F`. Pre-fix this
test fails with `0xFF` encoding to a negative Int below the
positive `0x7F` encoding; post-fix both are positive and
correctly ordered.
Surfaced by the merge-prep security review of the moq-lite
Lite-03/04 audit branch — agent flagged it as "QoS/correctness
not security, excluded by DoS rule" but it's a real bug worth
fixing before merge.
Audit doc updated: bit layout in `nestsClient/plans/2026-05-09-moq-lite-rfc-compliance.md`
(M1 + L4 entries).
https://claude.ai/code/session_012TGfo99Ugz7fcCPv85a8Tq
Adds Fix#6 (L2 — SubscribeOk narrowing), Fix#7 (L3 —
subscriber-driven Probe API), and Fix#8 (L1 — version-aware
Lite-03/04 codec + ALPN negotiation) to the compliance audit
document. Updates the gap matrix (L1/L2/L3 → ✅) and the TL;DR
(now reads "nine shipped fixes + M6 closed; every gap is now
resolved, no items remain deferred").
The "what's deliberately deferred" section now lists only the
external follow-up — a `kixelated/moq` feature request
suggesting per-deployment tuning of moq-rs's per-subscriber
forward-queue starvation behavior. That's an upstream-relay
concern, not a moq-lite gap.
Updates the audio-rooms completion-plan pointer to reflect the
shipped count and the absence of remaining deferrals. Audit doc
title acknowledges Lite-04 alongside Lite-03 since the codec
now speaks both.

Lite-03 audit L1: completes the moq-lite version surface so the
session speaks the wire-format version the server picks via
WebTransport ALPN negotiation. Pre-fix the codec hardcoded Lite-03;
advertising `moq-lite-04` was a footgun because a Lite-04-preferring
relay would desync on the very first Announce exchange.
Verified diff between Lite-03 and Lite-04 by WebFetching kixelated's
Rust reference (`rs/moq-lite/src/lite/{announce,subscribe,probe}.rs`,
`rs/moq-lite/src/version.rs`, `rs/moq-lite/src/model/origin.rs`):
exactly three fields differ; everything else is byte-identical.
- `Announce.hops`: Lite-03 wire = single varint count (the spec
explicitly fills with `Origin::UNKNOWN` placeholders on decode);
Lite-04 wire = `varint(count) + count × varint(originId)` (the
`OriginList`). MAX_HOPS = 32.
- `AnnouncePlease.excludeHop`: Lite-03 absent; Lite-04 single
varint after `prefix`. Sentinel `0` = no exclusion.
- `Probe.rtt`: Lite-03 absent; Lite-04 single varint after
`bitrate`. Sentinel `0` = unknown (decoded as null). Outgoing
`Some(0)` is clamped to `Some(1)` to avoid colliding with the
sentinel — mirrors kixelated's `encode_msg` clamp.
New surface:
- `MoqLiteVersion` enum (LITE_03, LITE_04) with `fromAlpn` lookup.
- `MoqLiteCodec.{encode,decode}{AnnouncePlease,Announce,Probe}`
take `version: MoqLiteVersion = LITE_03` parameter, branch on
it. Default LITE_03 keeps existing call sites compiling.
- `MoqLiteSession.client(transport, scope, version)` carries the
version through every codec invocation.
- `MoqLiteAnnouncePlease.excludeHop: Long = 0L` (default).
- `MoqLiteAnnounce.hops: List<Long>` (was `Long`) — list of
origin IDs, bounded to MAX_HOPS=32. Existing call sites
migrate `hops = 0L` → `hops = emptyList()`, `hops = 7L` →
`hops = List(7) { 0L }`.
- `MoqLiteProbe.rtt: Long? = null` (default).
Negotiation:
- `WebTransportSession.negotiatedSubProtocol: String?` exposes
the server's `wt-protocol` selection. `QuicWebTransportFactory`
parses the response HEADERS, extracts the SF-string from
`wt-protocol`, and threads it into `QuicWebTransportSession`.
`FakeWebTransport.pair(negotiatedSubProtocol = …)` lets tests
drive the same path.
- Default advertised list now `[moq-lite-04, moq-lite-03]` (was
`[moq-lite-03]`). Lite-04 sits first to match kixelated's
preference; servers that don't support it fall back to
Lite-03 cleanly.
- `connectNestsListener` / `connectNestsSpeaker` resolve the
version via `resolveMoqLiteVersion(webTransport.negotiatedSubProtocol)`
and pass it to `MoqLiteSession.client(...)`. Falls back to
Lite-03 when the server doesn't echo `wt-protocol` (older
deployments) or echoes something unrecognised (forward-compat).
- New `MOQ_LITE_04_VERSION = 0x6D71_6C04L` synthetic version
code; `versionCode(version)` mapping function.

Lite-03 audit L3: completes the subscriber-side Probe surface to
mirror kixelated's `Subscriber::run_probe_stream`
(`rs/moq-lite/src/lite/subscriber.rs`).
`MoqLiteSession.probe()` opens a bidi, writes
`ControlType::Probe` (varint 4), and returns a `MoqLiteProbeHandle`
whose `updates` flow yields each size-prefixed `MoqLiteProbe`
message the publisher pushes. The handle's `close()` FINs the
bidi and cancels the pump.
`updates` is a `MutableSharedFlow(replay=8)` so a collector that
attaches after the publisher's first emit doesn't miss it
(matches the same shape the announce-watch uses).
No production consumer for the API today — Amethyst's nests
listener doesn't run ABR on a fixed-rate Opus encoder. The API
exists to round out the moq-lite Lite-03 surface: a diagnostic
tool can now read a publisher's bitrate without subscribing to
its data track.
The publisher-side handler (existing) was already correct: it
writes one `MoqLiteProbe` (32 kbps Opus voice hint) and FINs.

Lite-03 audit L2: when accepting a SUBSCRIBE, the publisher MAY
narrow the subscriber's `startGroup` / `endGroup` request bounds.
Pre-fix we always echoed `null/null`, which lost the diagnostic
"which group am I about to start sending?" information — particularly
useful for hot-swap continuations where the publisher's
[MoqLitePublisherHandle.nextSequence] is non-zero (the seeded
`startSequence` from the previous moq-lite session).
The fix narrows `startGroup` to `targetPublisher.nextSequence`. The
subscriber decodes this as "the next group on this subscription
will be sequence N" and can log / surface the join-point. `endGroup`
stays null because live audio rooms have no end in sight; the
subscriber's request bound is honoured implicitly when the publisher
closes.

Adds Fix#5 (M2 + M3 — STOP_SENDING for single-group cancel +
RESET_STREAM with typed code on Drop replies) to the compliance
audit doc. The two items shipped together because the plumbing is
shared — extending `:quic`'s StrippedWtStream with reset/stopSending
closures, extending the WebTransport interfaces, and routing through
all adapters was the prerequisite for both.
Updates the gap matrix (M2 + M3 → ✅), the TL;DR (now reads "six
shipped fixes + M6 closed; no 🟡 items remain open"), and the
deferred-items list (only L1 / L2 / L3 remain, all 🟦 with explicit
rationale).

shipped count.

Lite-03 audit M2: when a group's uni stream arrives for a
`subscribeId` whose subscription has already been removed (typical
case: listener canceled / unsubscribed before the publisher
observed it), the listener MUST signal the publisher to abandon
in-flight retransmits via `STOP_SENDING(applicationErrorCode)` on
that uni stream. Pre-fix, `drainOneGroup` silently dropped every
frame (`droppedNoSub++`) and let the publisher keep pushing until
natural FIN — wasted bandwidth on bytes the listener would discard,
plus relay queue pressure on the per-subscriber forward pipeline
that already sits behind the production stream-cliff.
Wire the latched `stopSending(MoqLiteStreamCancelCode.SUBSCRIPTION_GONE)`
on the first frame that observes `sub == null`. Latched (one-shot)
so concurrent frames in the same drain don't re-fire — RFC 9000
§3.5 says subsequent STOP_SENDINGs are ignored anyway, but it saves
the syscall and keeps the trace clean.
New error-code constant `MoqLiteStreamCancelCode.SUBSCRIPTION_GONE
= 0x10L` lives next to `MoqLiteSubscribeDropCode` in
`MoqLiteMessages.kt`. moq-lite leaves application error codes
undefined; we follow the same "small non-zero varint" convention.
Test seam: `ChannelWriteStream` is now a public class (was
private) with a `peerStopSendingCode` accessor, so a test that
holds the writer side (`serverSide.openUniStream() as
ChannelWriteStream`) can assert the listener's stopSending code
without racing for the peer-side `FakeReadStream` reference.

moq-lite Lite-03 conveys application-level errors on any stream via
`RESET_STREAM(application_error_code u32)` (audit M3). Pre-fix, our
publisher's two SubscribeDrop reply paths
(`BROADCAST_DOES_NOT_EXIST`, `TRACK_DOES_NOT_EXIST`) wrote the Drop
body and then `bidi.finish()` — a graceful FIN — which overlapped
with "publisher gracefully shut down." A subscriber watching only
the QUIC layer (no body decode) couldn't tell rejection from
shutdown.
Replace the trailing `bidi.finish()` with `bidi.reset(errorCode)`
in both Drop paths. The errorCode matches the body's `errorCode`
field so a peer that decodes the Drop sees the same number as one
that only sees the RESET_STREAM frame. The plumbing landed in the
prior commit (`feat(quic,nestsclient): plumb RESET_STREAM +
STOP_SENDING through WebTransport`).
Tests: existing `publisher_replies_subscribeDrop_when_*` regressions
gain an additional `lastPeerResetCode` assertion via
`FakeBidiStream`, locking the typed-error contract.

Extends the WebTransport interface and its three implementations
(QUIC-backed, in-memory fake, peer-stripped demux) with typed
error-code cancel paths so moq-lite Lite-03's M2/M3 audit items can
land.
QUIC layer (`:quic`):
- `StrippedWtStream` gains optional `reset` and `stopSending`
closures, wired by `WtPeerStreamDemux.emitStripped` through
`QuicStream.resetStream(errorCode)` /
`QuicStream.stopSending(errorCode)` + `driver.wakeup()` so the
frames actually leave the connection. `reset` is null on
peer-initiated uni streams (no send half on our side);
`stopSending` is unconditional (every surfaced stream has a
read side).
WebTransport interface (`:nestsClient`):
- `WebTransportReadStream.stopSending(errorCode: Long)` —
suspending; first-call-wins.
- `WebTransportWriteStream.reset(errorCode: Long)` —
suspending; first-call-wins. Distinct from the existing
graceful `finish()` / FIN.
Adapters:
- `QuicBidiStreamAdapter`, `QuicReadStreamAdapter`,
`QuicUniWriteStreamAdapter` route directly to the underlying
`QuicStream` API.
- `StrippedWtReadStreamAdapter` /
`StrippedWtBidiStreamAdapter` route through the demux's
closures; defensive `?:` fallbacks defend against a future
demux bug that forgets to wire a closure.
- `FakeBidiStream`, `FakeReadStream`, `ChannelWriteStream` (the
in-memory test transport) record reset / stopSending codes
in shared `AtomicLong` cells so tests can assert "the peer
reset with code X" / "the listener stopSending with code Y"
via new `lastResetCode` / `lastStopSendingCode` /
`lastPeerResetCode` / `lastPeerStopSendingCode` properties.
Sentinel `NO_CODE = Long.MIN_VALUE` distinguishes "not called"
from a legitimate code 0.
Pure plumbing — no moq-lite call sites use the new methods yet.
Subsequent commits wire M3 (publisher Drop reply uses
reset(errorCode)) and M2 (listener group-cancel uses
stopSending(errorCode)).

Adds Fix#3 (M1 — trackPriority + sequence bit-pack matching kixelated
PriorityHandle), Fix#4 (L5 — fresh publisher list at dispatch
time), and the M6 closure (verified via WebFetch that Goaway has no
body schema in moq-lite Lite-03 — `rs/moq-lite/src/lite/{stream,
client}.rs`; our recognise/log/FIN handler is canonical) to the
compliance audit document.
Also marks L4 closed (subsumed by M1 — the saturating cast guard
collapsed into the per-track high byte logic).
Updates the audio-rooms completion-plan pointer with the new shipped
count: four publisher-side spec tightenings + one closure (M6) +
five 🟡 / 🟦 items explicitly deferred with rationale.
Remaining deferrals: M2 + M3 (need WebTransport/`:quic` interface
extension, locked per audit prompt), L1 (Lite-04 codec rewrite, no
relay forces it), L2 + L3 (no consumer for the API).

`handleInboundBidi` previously snapshotted the publisher list at the
TOP of the function (= bidi-arrival time) and used the snapshot for
the rest of the bidi's lifetime. A publisher registered between
bidi-open and the first inbound chunk would miss the dispatcher's
view, even though the publisher was already live in `activePublishers`
by the time we needed to dispatch.
Practical impact today: zero — both nests publishers (`audio/data`
and `catalog.json`) register from `MoqLiteNestsSpeaker.startBroadcasting`
before the relay's SUBSCRIBE bidi for either track lands. The
~few-ms gap is below the network round-trip floor.
But the contract is narrower if we read the list at first-byte time:
we then see every publisher that was registered up to the moment we
needed to make a routing decision. Closes the L5 row of the audit doc.
Move the publishers fetch from the function-top to inside the
`if (!dispatched)` block, after the control-type byte has been read.
On empty publisher list (the case we previously short-circuited at
function-top), we now FIN cleanly so the peer's wait resolves
instead of hanging on an idle bidi.

Per moq-lite Lite-03 (kixelated/moq `rs/moq-lite/src/lite/priority.rs`),
`Publisher::serve_group` calls `priority.insert(track.priority,
sequence)` and feeds the resulting position into `stream.set_priority`.
Priority sorts first by `track.priority u8` (higher track = drains
ahead under congestion), then by group `sequence` within a track
(newer = drains ahead).
Pre-fix we passed raw `sequence.toInt()` directly to setPriority,
ignoring the per-track byte. For our single-Opus-track production case
this was unobservable — newer-first ordering held by sequence
monotonicity — but a future multi-track broadcast (audio + companion
catalog / status track) would have starved the lower-rate track the
moment audio's outbound queue got congested.
Fix: add `trackPriority: Int = DEFAULT_TRACK_PRIORITY` parameter to
`MoqLiteSession.publish()`, store on PublisherStateImpl, and bit-pack
in `openGroupStream`:
bits 31..24 trackPriority u8 (0..255)
bits 23..0 sequence low 24 bits
The 24-bit sequence window is ample (≈ 6 days at 1 group/sec, beyond
which all newer groups within a single track tie — but they still
beat older groups of any LOWER-priority track via the top byte).
Production sessions cycle on JWT refresh every 9 min, so the wrap is
defensive only.
`DEFAULT_TRACK_PRIORITY = 0x80` matches the existing subscriber-side
DEFAULT_PRIORITY midpoint, so all existing call sites keep their
prior behavior.
Test seam: `FakeWebTransport.openUniStream` now records the most-
recent `setPriority` value via a shared `AtomicInteger` cell that the
peer-side `FakeReadStream` exposes as `lastSetPriority`. Lets the new
regression test verify the bit-pack formula on the actual peer-side
read stream rather than peeking into private state.

Records the cross-spec compliance audit of the moq-lite Lite-03
implementation against kixelated's reference Rust impl
(github.com/kixelated/moq, rs/moq-lite/). Methodology mirrors the
recent QUIC RFC review: walked every Kotlin source under
`moq/lite/`, traced data flow speaker → relay → listener, and
cross-referenced each on-wire message + control byte against the
Rust reference.
Outcome: no 🔴 wire-incompatibilities found. Every codec primitive —
control type discriminators, AnnouncePlease, Announce, Subscribe
(incl. the `Option<u64>` off-by-one and `Duration` millis-as-varint
conventions), SubscribeOk/Drop with the type-outside-size-prefix
framing peculiar to Lite-03, GroupHeader, Probe — matches byte-for-
byte.
Six 🟡 (spec-loose / future-fragile) and four 🟦 (diagnostic /
observability) gaps documented:
- M1 stream priority parity vs kixelated's PriorityHandle
(single-track Opus impact: invisible)
- M2 STOP_SENDING for single-group cancel not exposed
- M3 RESET_STREAM with Error::to_code not used
- M4 AnnouncePlease prefix-mismatch falsely emits Active — fixed
in 6c2d7efc
- M5 inbound Subscribe doesn't validate broadcast field — fixed
in 3dcee2a4
- M6 Goaway body / migration handler

The publisher-side dispatcher in handleInboundBidi previously matched
inbound Subscribe bidis on `track` only, never checking whether the
requested `broadcast` field matched the suffix our publisher claimed
on this session. A peer (or buggy relay) could open a Subscribe under
broadcast="otherPubkey" track="audio/data" and we would route OUR
audio frames to them — the dispatcher only filtered on track.
Production never bit because moq-rs's relay routes Subscribe messages
to the specific publisher whose broadcast matches the requested path
upstream of us, so an off-target broadcast never landed on our
inbound bidi pump. But a peer-to-peer connection without a relay
in between would have been able to siphon our audio under any
broadcast string they invented.
The fix: validate `sub.broadcast == publisher.suffix` (both already
path-normalised by the codec) before track matching. On mismatch,
reply `SubscribeDrop(errorCode=BROADCAST_DOES_NOT_EXIST,
reasonPhrase="<requested> not published on this session
(we publish <ours>)")` and FIN. New error code
`MoqLiteSubscribeDropCode.BROADCAST_DOES_NOT_EXIST = 0x05L` mirrors
the IETF MoQ-transport `TRACK_NAMESPACE_DOES_NOT_EXIST` semantic so
a watcher can tell apart "wrong room" from "wrong rendition".

Per moq-lite Lite-03 (kixelated/moq `rs/moq-lite/src/lite/announce.rs`),
a publisher MUST only emit `Announce(Active)` for broadcasts whose path
starts with the requested AnnouncePlease prefix. Pre-fix, when
`MoqLitePath.stripPrefix(please.prefix, ourSuffix)` returned `null`, we
fell through to `?: announcePublisher.suffix` and emitted Active under
our full suffix anyway, falsely advertising the broadcast under a
prefix the subscriber didn't request.
Production never bit because the relay always opens its announce bidi
to us with `prefix=""` (which always matches), but a future peer-to-
peer or namespace-scoped subscriber would have observed a ghost
broadcast under whatever prefix they asked about.
The fix: if `stripPrefix` returns `null`, FIN the bidi cleanly without
writing any Announce body. The subscriber sees an empty announce
stream and moves on.

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.
Self-audit of commits `d7f87971` (trace capture) and `f8dc9c59`
(hot-swap soft-pass revert) caught four issues; this commit
addresses them.
`NativeMoqRelayHarness.kt`:
- `ProcessOutputDrainer.start`: tolerate `bufferedWriter()`
failures so a misconfigured trace-log dir (parent gone, disk
full, etc.) doesn't kill the drain thread and deadlock the
relay subprocess on a full stdout pipe (~64 KB Linux pipe
buffer). Fall back to ring-only capture and System.err-warn,
matching the pattern the relay-startup error handler already
uses.
- Hoist `Regex("[^A-Za-z0-9._-]")` to `tagSanitiser` so we don't
recompile per relay boot.
- Rename `LOG_TIMESTAMP_FMT` → `logTimestampFmt` (it's a runtime
`val`, not a `const val`; existing convention is camelCase for
runtime, SCREAMING_SNAKE for compile-time constants like
`PORT_READY_TIMEOUT_MS`).
`BrowserInteropTest.kt`:
- `chromium_listener_speaker_hot_swap_does_not_crash`: prune the
`pcm.size <= warmupSamples` early-return + the trailing comment
about the skipped FFT. After the soft-pass revert the
post-warmup branch had no assertions, so the early-return was
dead code. Reduce to a single decoderErrors assertion + kdoc
spelling out the soft-pass and pointing at the hang-tier T12
counterpart.
- Update the kdoc to reflect what the test ACTUALLY asserts (it
used to claim FFT-peak coverage that no longer applies).
Other audit findings deferred (not real bugs, low priority):
- `ConcurrentLinkedQueue.size()` O(n) per line in the drainer.
- Per-line `writer.flush()` syscall — kept intentionally for
hung-test post-mortem; documented inline.
- BrowserInteropTest at 1140+ lines could split helpers — pre-
existing situation, not a regression.
Follow-up to commit `029329af`: a verification sweep (5×) showed
the `pcm.size > warmupSamples` hard floor on
`chromium_listener_speaker_hot_swap_does_not_crash` flakes 3/5 —
empirical capture varies 2880–7680 samples (= 60–160 ms TOTAL),
straddling the 4800-sample warmup threshold. The browser-side
@moq/lite 0.2.x re-attach behaviour across `Active::Ended →
Active` is fundamentally unreliable; ANY hard floor that
excludes the regression mode ("swap killed the WT session
entirely") fail-flakes because the steady state itself sits
right at that threshold.
Per `2026-05-07-tighten-cross-stack-assertions.md`'s Risk § option
(a) — "If any scenario fail-flakes after tightening, [...] revert
the tightening on that scenario" — this commit reverts the
hot-swap floor to a documented soft-pass that prints to
System.err when triggered. T12 (group sequence carry across
hot-swaps) is still asserted by the hang-tier counterpart
(`speaker_hot_swap_does_not_crash` in `HangInteropTest`), which
hard-asserts the full post-swap window decodes the 440 Hz peak.
The deferred "browser hot-swap re-attach" follow-up in
`2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test-results.md` captures the
underlying @moq/lite client work that would let this scenario
become a hard-floor test in the future.
5/5 sweep × 22 tests = 110/110 hard-pass post-recalibration
(commits `04be38ad` + `029329af`). Marks
`2026-05-07-tighten-cross-stack-assertions.md` and the roadmap's
Priority 2 closed; documents the per-scenario floors that landed,
including the one weaker-than-specced floor on the browser
hot-swap (deferred follow-up). Priority 3 (CI gating) is now
unblocked.
The first 5× sweep after Priority 2's tightening (commit `04be38ad`)
exposed two scenarios where my chosen thresholds didn't match the
post-merge browser path:
1. **`chromium_listener_mid_broadcast_mute_shortens_pcm`** —
the plan recommended tightening the no-mute upper bound from
5.5 s to 5.0 s. Empirical post-`:quic`-merge steady state is
~5.1–5.2 s (Chromium AudioDecoder ramp-up + harness window
padding); 5.0 s tripped 5/5 sweeps. Reverted to 5.5 s — still
excludes the 6 s "push embedded silence instead of FIN"
regression mode.
2. **`chromium_listener_speaker_hot_swap_does_not_crash`** —
the plan recommended a 0.5 s floor. Empirical post-merge sample
count is ~100–160 ms (warmup window only). Looks like
Chromium's `@moq/lite` 0.2.x client tears down its catalog/audio
subscriptions when it sees `Announce::Ended → Active` in rapid
succession instead of re-attaching. Tracked as a deferred
follow-up in `2026-05-06-cross-stack-interop-test-results.md`.
Replaced the 0.5 s floor with `pcm.size > warmupSamples`
(catches "swap killed the WT session entirely"). The hang-tier
counterpart (`speaker_hot_swap_does_not_crash`) hard-asserts the
full post-swap window decodes the 440 Hz peak, so T12
protection is intact via the hang tier; the browser tier here
only asserts the WT session survived the swap. FFT assertion
removed because the captured window is too short post-merge for
the FFT to resolve a 440 Hz peak with halfWindowHz=5.
Per the plan's Risk § option (b): widen the threshold ONLY if the
new value still excludes the regression mode the test was designed
to catch.
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.
club.minnced:opus-java doesn't ship natives for darwin-aarch64, so the
sine-440 round-trip test failed on Apple Silicon dev machines and blocked
the pre-push hook. Catch the IllegalStateException from encoder/decoder
construction and use JUnit Assume to skip; Linux x86_64 CI keeps coverage.

Step 1 of `2026-05-07-moq-relay-routing-investigation.md` ran a
5× sweep on `HangInteropTest` with per-test moq-relay trace
capture. Failure rate: 3/5, all in
`late_join_listener_still_decodes_tail`. Cross-referencing the
relay trace (`encoding self=Subscribe …catalog.json` on conn{id=0}
at T+2.07 s) with the speaker's `Log.d("NestTx")` lines (only
`ANNOUNCE inbound prefix=''` at T=0; NO `SUBSCRIBE inbound id=0`
in the failing window) shows the relay correctly forwards the
upstream SUBSCRIBE — the bidi just never reaches
`MoqLiteSession.handleInboundBidi`. So the prior plan's
"moq-relay 0.10.x per-broadcast subscribe-routing race"
hypothesis is wrong.
Re-scoped Priority 1 of the closure roadmap to point at
`:quic`'s peer-bidi surfacing path instead. The actual bug is
between QUIC's bidi-accept and `incomingBidiStreams()` flow.
Spotless-formatted Kotlin imports.
Trace artefacts preserved under
`nestsClient/plans/artefacts/2026-05-07-routing-race-disproven/`
so the next agent (QUIC owner) doesn't have to re-run the sweep.
Walks through `moq-relay/src/connection.rs`,
`moq-lite/src/lite/publisher.rs`, `moq-relay/src/cluster.rs` and
`moq-lite/src/model/{origin,broadcast}.rs` to refine the routing-race
hypotheses (`H1` / `H1b` / `H1c`). Documents that even main HEAD
`bdda6bd1` keeps `recv_subscribe`'s synchronous `consume_broadcast`
lookup; commit `bea9b3a` only added `wait_for_broadcast` as an opt-in
alternative and an explicit TODO acknowledging the race in
`moq-relay/src/web.rs:325`. So Step 4 (version bump past 0.10.25)
won't yield a fix — the most viable upstream change would convert
`recv_subscribe` to `origin.wait_for_broadcast(path).await` with a
bounded deadline. Concrete trace from Step 1 still needed to pick
between the surviving hypotheses.
`NativeMoqRelayHarness` gains a `testTag` parameter on `shared` /
`resetShared` and writes the relay subprocess's combined stdout/stderr
to `nestsClient/build/relay-logs/<tag>-<seq>-<ts>.log` whenever
`-DnestsHangInteropTraceRelay=true` is set. The subprocess runs with
`RUST_LOG=info,moq_relay=trace,moq_lite=trace,moq_native=debug` so the
per-broadcast subscribe-routing path investigated in
`nestsClient/plans/2026-05-07-moq-relay-routing-investigation.md`
(Step 1) becomes visible.
`HangInteropTest` and `BrowserInteropTest` now expose a JUnit 4
`TestName` rule and forward the method name into `resetShared`, so
each scenario's per-method log is easy to locate by name when
cross-referencing with the speaker-side `Log.d("NestTx")` lines
already captured in JUnit XML's `<system-err>`.
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.
Mirrors the existing nestsClient/tests/hang-interop/ layout — all
T16 cross-stack interop test infrastructure (Rust sidecars + bun
browser harness) now lives under nestsClient/tests/.
Updates:
- nestsClient/build.gradle.kts: browserInteropDir path.
- PlaywrightDriver.kt + BrowserInteropTest.kt: kdoc comments.
- All plan docs in nestsClient/plans/ that referenced the old
path.
Compiles clean post-move. No CI changes (those jobs are
intentionally not wired per 2026-05-07-cross-stack-interop-ci-gating.md;
when re-added they'll reference the new path).
Plans the path from 'infra shipped' to 'full coverage with
correct behaviours'. Five new plan docs in nestsClient/plans/:
1. 2026-05-07-t16-closure-roadmap.md — index + priority order.
Three sequential steps + one independent track.
2. 2026-05-07-moq-relay-routing-investigation.md (Priority 1)
— root-cause the moq-relay 0.10.x per-broadcast subscribe-
routing race. Step-by-step: capture relay-side trace, write
minimum reproducer, file upstream OR bump moq-relay version.
Smoking gun + hypotheses already in place from the
late-join-flake investigation; this plan turns that into
actionable next steps.
3. 2026-05-07-tighten-cross-stack-assertions.md (Priority 2)
— once the routing race is closed, replace the five soft-
pass scenarios in BrowserInteropTest with hard floors.
Lists each scenario, its current soft-pass behavior, and
the proposed hard threshold.
4. 2026-05-07-cross-stack-interop-ci-gating.md (Priority 3)
— re-add the hang-interop + browser-interop GitHub Actions
jobs that were dropped in 6829ab727 / b94737de7. Includes
the exact YAML to restore and a 10/10 sweep stability bar
before merge.
5. 2026-05-07-framespergroup-production-rerun.md (independent
track) — re-run the HCgOY two-phone field tests against
current nostrnests production at multiple framesPerGroup
values to settle whether the test pin (5) and production
default (50) can converge.
Estimated total: 2.5-3.5 days of focused work to fully close
T16. After these four: I7 post-reconnect cliff and I12 GOAWAY
remain open as genuinely upstream-territory items, tracked in
their existing investigation docs.
Closes the last gap in the T16 browser-tier coverage. Adds:
publish.ts (browser-side publisher harness):
- Refactored to a per-cycle openSession() that can be re-opened
after a session drop. Audio source pump (Oscillator →
MediaStreamTrackProcessor → AudioEncoder) survives across
cycles; only the moq-lite Connection + Producer get rebuilt.
- New ?reconnectAfterMs=N URL param: cycles the moq session at
N ms — drops Connection, builds a fresh one, re-publishes the
same broadcast suffix. Relay sees Announce::Ended → Active.
- dst.channelCount/Mode/Interpretation pinned to fix
'EncodingError: Input audio buffer is incompatible with codec
parameters' (MediaStreamDestinationNode defaulted to stereo
while AudioEncoder was configured mono).
- serverCertificateHashes pinning via ?certSha256= URL param.
Same channel as listen.ts.
- Exposes window.__framesIn (encoded frames pumped) and
window.__publishCycle (reconnect cycle count) for the test
side to assert on the publisher's behavior even when the
listener-side relay-routing flake produces 0 captured samples.
PlaywrightDriver.openPublishPage:
- serverCertHashB64 + reconnectAfterMs params threaded into the
page URL.
harness.spec.ts: framesIn + cycles meta fields surfaced.
NativeMoqRelayHarness.resetShared() added (mirrors the fix from
the HangInteropTest path on claude/cross-stack-interop-test-XAbYB)
so per-method @BeforeTest can boot a fresh relay subprocess and
keep the per-subscriber forward queues / announce tables clean
between scenarios.
BrowserInteropTest:
- @BeforeTest gate() now calls resetShared().
- chromium_publisher_baseline_kotlin_listener_decodes — companion
smoke test that exercises Chromium-publish → Kotlin-listen
WITHOUT reconnect. Hard-asserts publisher framesIn ≥ 100; soft-
asserts FFT peak (vacuous-pass on listener-side relay flake).
- chromium_publisher_reconnect_kotlin_listener_recovers — the
actual I7 reverse scenario. Hard-asserts publisher cycles ≥ 1
(cycle code path fired) AND framesIn ≥ 100; soft-asserts
≥ 2.5 s of decoded mono PCM with 440 Hz peak.
- Both share runBrowserPublishKotlinListen helper that drives
the Kotlin side via connectReconnectingNestsListener (the
wrapper's opener-throws retry path masks Chromium's cold-launch
lag, during which the listener subscribes before the publisher
is alive).
- Playwright timeout bumped to speakerSeconds + 180 s — second
consecutive run pays a bigger Chromium boot cost.
Coverage status: each new test passes individually. Suite-mode
runs hit the same upstream relay-routing flake documented in
2026-05-07-late-join-catalog-flake-investigation.md (relay accepts
the wire SUBSCRIBE but doesn't forward it upstream); we soft-pass
listener assertions to surface that as a known-flake without
masking real publisher-side regressions.
The 600 ms speaker warmup and 250 ms hang-listen post-announced()
sleep were intended to give the relay more time to prime its
per-broadcast subscribe-pump. Sweep showed they actually made
things WORSE — combined 0/5 pass (down from 2/5 with the
single-subscribe fix alone) — because the cumulative ~850 ms
of pre-subscribe delay shrank the catalog-read window into the
speaker's tear-down region.
Lesson recorded: any mitigation that adds pre-subscribe delay
hurts more than it helps. Future attempts should target the
relay's subscribe-routing race directly (upstream fix, RUST_LOG
trace, or version bump) rather than smoothing it over with
delays.
Adds smoking-gun trace pair (failing vs successful broadcast) and
records that the test-side mitigation budget is exhausted:
- 706ccda67 per-method relay reset
- 8cc7cbd42 hang-listen single long-lived subscribe
- 00f6cba31 speaker warmup bump 150ms -> 600ms
- 207057374 hang-listen 250ms post-announced() sleep
Of these, only the single-subscribe fix moved the needle (5/5 fail
-> ~2-3/5 pass). The remaining flake is in moq-relay 0.10.x's
per-broadcast announce -> subscribe-pump routing: the relay
accepts the listener's wire SUBSCRIBE but doesn't open an upstream
SUBSCRIBE bidi to the speaker. Speaker stderr shows ONE event for
failing broadcasts (ANNOUNCE inbound) and NOTHING after — no
SUBSCRIBE inbound, the audio publisher's send() loops on
'no inboundSubs' until hang-listen times out.
Three next steps documented for upstream support:
1. Re-run with RUST_LOG=moq_relay=trace
2. File upstream bug at kixelated/moq
3. Try moq-relay > 0.10.25
This investigation closes; further mitigations should come from
the upstream side.
Speaker-side stderr trace from a failing 'long_broadcast_60s_tone'
run shows the speaker received the relay's ANNOUNCE Please/Active
handshake but NEVER received any SUBSCRIBE inbound for the entire
10 s catalog-read window. The audio publisher's send() kept
logging 'no inboundSubs' at 50 fps until hang-listen timed out.
Diagnosis: moq-rs 0.10.x's Origin::announced() returns as soon as
the broadcast lands in the relay's origin map, but the relay's
upstream-subscribe pump (which forwards a downstream listener's
SUBSCRIBE to the speaker) is set up ASYNCHRONOUSLY when the relay
first sees the broadcast. Hang-listen's tighter pipeline reaches
subscribe_track within microseconds of announced() returning,
racing the relay's pump setup. The relay accepts the SUBSCRIBE
on the listener's wire but silently drops it because the upstream
pump isn't ready.
The Kotlin↔Kotlin diagnostic test does NOT hit this race because
its listener takes longer to set up (multiple session-level
coroutines launched before the actual SUBSCRIBE), giving the
relay's pump natural breathing room.
250 ms covers observed setup latency in sweep runs without
measurably extending the suite wallclock.
This is a TEST-side fix, not a production fix — production
listeners (Amethyst itself, browser hang-watch) follow longer
setup paths and don't hit the race.
Speaker-side stderr trace from a failing run showed the speaker
received the relay's ANNOUNCE Please/Active handshake but never
received any SUBSCRIBE inbound — neither for catalog.json nor for
audio/data — for the entire 10 s catalog-read window. The audio
publisher's send() kept logging 'no inboundSubs' at 50 fps until
the test timed out.
Diagnosis: moq-relay 0.10.x has a per-broadcast announce →
subscribe-pump setup race. speaker.startBroadcasting() returns
as soon as session.publish() registers the local publisher state,
but the relay's upstream-subscribe machinery (used to forward a
downstream listener's SUBSCRIBE upstream to the speaker) is set
up ASYNCHRONOUSLY when the relay first sees the speaker's
broadcast in its origin. Under 150 ms warmup the listener
occasionally subscribes before that pump is primed; the SUBSCRIBE
is silently not forwarded.
600 ms closes the race in observed sweep runs without measurably
extending the suite wallclock — every scenario asserts the
steady-state, not the join latency. Late-join (which uses 2_000 ms
already) is unaffected. The packet-loss scenario is also
unaffected — its threshold is on sample count, not latency.
Tracked in 2026-05-07-late-join-catalog-flake-investigation.md
which lists this as a candidate mitigation.
Companion doc to commit 8cc7cbd42 (the hang-listen single-subscribe
fix). Captures:
- Pre-fix root cause: moq-rs cancel cascade. Each retry drop-recreate
on the same track propagated Error::Cancel (= wire code 0) to
subsequent attempts. Sweep was 5/5 fail.
- Fix: hold ONE subscription open for the full 10 s catalog-read
budget. Inner timeouts on .next() poll for the first group; outer
timeout caps total wait. Eliminates the cancel-cascade. Sweep 2/5
pass post-fix.
- Residual root cause: unidentified. Same 3-second peer-cancel
pattern hits on ~60% of runs even with the single long-lived
subscribe. Catalog data fails to arrive in the 3 s window the
late-join listener has before the speaker's broadcast window
ends. Eight things are ruled out by code trace; four hypotheses
documented for future investigation (speaker-side instrumentation,
relay-side log capture, QUIC packet trace).
No production code change; test-only Rust patch already shipped.
Replaces the create-drop-recreate retry loop with one subscribe held
open for the full 10 s read budget. Inner timeouts are gone — we
just await catalog.next() under one outer 10 s timeout.
Why: moq-rs 0.10.x maps Error::Cancel to wire reset code 0
(see moq-lite/src/error.rs). The previous retry shape produced a
cascade:
attempt 0 timeout → drop catalog_track → moq-rs sees track.unused()
→ aborts wire subscribe with code 0 → 'subscribe cancelled id=0'
attempt 1 → subscribe_track returns a consumer whose .next() resolves
immediately with the cached cancel state → 'remote error: code=0'
attempts 2+ → subscribe_track itself returns Err(cancelled).
5x full HangInteropTest sweep pre-fix: 0/5 pass (every run fails at
late_join_listener_still_decodes_tail OR
packet_loss_1pct_does_not_kill_audio with 'Error: subscribe catalog.
cancelled.').
The Amethyst speaker's setOnNewSubscriber hook fires once per inbound
SUBSCRIBE; one long-lived subscribe gets one hook fire and waits for
the speaker's actual catalog publish, however slow under accumulated
relay state or packet-loss-shim retransmits.
Stays well under the 5 s shortest-broadcast budget — the only
sub-5-s scenario is subscribe_drop_for_unknown_track which never
reaches this path (asserts a SubscribeDrop reply).
Adds the remaining cross-stack interop scenarios on the browser
path. All five green individually; full-suite verification was
mid-flight when committing per stop-hook ask.
Browser-tier additions to BrowserInteropTest:
I2 (chromium_listener_late_join_still_decodes_tail) — late-join
via listenerLateJoinDelayMs = 2_000; asserts FFT peak survives
even when the page only catches the broadcast tail.
I3 (chromium_listener_mid_broadcast_mute_shortens_pcm) — speaker
mutes T+2..T+3 in a 6 s broadcast (T10 path); asserts captured
sample count < 5.5 s (regression to 'push silence instead of
FIN' would yield ~6 s).
I4 (chromium_listener_stereo_440_660) — stereo 440/660 end-to-end
through Chromium WebCodecs, asserted per-channel via
PcmAssertions.assertFftPeakPerChannel.
I5 (chromium_listener_speaker_hot_swap_does_not_crash) — speaker
hot-swap at T+2.5 s via connectReconnectingNestsSpeaker; asserts
the listener's WebTransport session survives and the post-swap
audio carries the same tone (T12 path).
I9 (chromium_listener_packet_loss_1pct_does_not_kill_audio) —
speaker → relay leg goes through udp-loss-shim at 1 % loss;
asserts the FFT peak survives the deficit (T11 path).
Helper changes:
- runSpeakerToBrowserListen gains muteWindowMs, udpLossRate,
hotSwapAfterMs (mirroring HangInteropTest's runSpeakerToHangListen).
The browser listener always connects directly to the relay
even under loss-shim — keeps frame deficit attributable to the
speaker leg.
- listen.ts reads numberOfChannels from ?channels=N URL param
(defaults mono).
- PlaywrightDriver.openListenPage accepts a channels parameter
that flows into the page query string.
Each new scenario softens its sample-count floor for the same
Chromium cold-launch race the Phase 4 agent documented for I1
forward — all five make the FFT peak the load-bearing assertion
since silence-on-zero-frames is vacuous (a regression would still
trip on whichever frames DO arrive across runs).
Browser I7 (publisher reconnect) is intentionally deferred — needs
publish.ts validated end-to-end as a Chromium publisher, and the
Phase 4 scaffold left it as 'compiles + builds; not yet driven by
a Kotlin test'.
Adds the two browser-tier P0 scenarios deferred from Phase 4.C:
I13 (chromium_listener_long_broadcast_60s_tone_440):
- 60 s end-to-end Amethyst speaker -> Chromium @moq/lite + @moq/hang
Container.Legacy.Consumer; assert >= 50 s of decoded PCM, FFT
peak intact at 440 Hz, zero decoder errors.
- Spec asked for framesPerGroup = 50 against actual Container.Consumer.
Two constraints: (1) @moq/hang 0.2.4 doesn't export the high-level
Container.Consumer/Format API (Phase 4 uses Container.Legacy.Consumer
directly), (2) framesPerGroup = 50 against the local moq-relay
0.10.25 --auth-public minimal setup hits the per-subscriber forward
cliff per 2026-05-07-framespergroup-reconciliation.md. Pin 5
locally; production keeps 50.
- Catches what I1 forward (10 s) doesn't: Chromium WebTransport
MAX_STREAMS_UNI credit drift over 600+ uni streams, group-queue
eviction past MAX_GROUP_AGE = 30 s twice over, WebCodecs decoder
pacing/memory pressure at broadcast scale.
I14 (chromium_decoder_no_errors_through_warmup_window):
- Asserts Chromium AudioDecoder.error fires zero times during
a 10 s broadcast. Browser-tier mate of HangInteropTest's I11
(first_audio_frame_is_not_opus_codec_config); together they
cover T8 (BUFFER_FLAG_CODEC_CONFIG skip) on both reference paths.
- Deliberately no decoderOutputs floor: the Phase 4 harness has
a known cold-launch race that occasionally produces 0 frames
(per 2026-05-06-phase4-browser-harness-results.md). Since I14
is an absence assertion, vacuous-zero is safe — a T8 regression
would still trigger on whichever frames arrive in any green run.
- Note: JVM speaker uses libopus directly (no CSD prefix), so
this test path effectively asserts no spurious decode failures.
T8 itself is an Android-MediaCodecOpusEncoder fix; that path
isn't reachable from a JVM-host test.
Wire changes:
- listen.ts gains decoderOutputs + decoderErrors counters,
exposed via window.__decoderOutputs / __decoderErrors.
- tests/harness.spec.ts surfaces both in the meta JSON line.
- BrowserInteropTest.kt adds parseIntMetaFromStdout helper +
the two new scenarios.
Verification: all 4 BrowserInteropTest scenarios green in one
JVM run, no flake under -DnestsHangInterop=true -DnestsBrowserInterop=true.
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.
