Adds the nightly ffprobe conformance test for moq-hls's HLS and DASH output and finishes quest/m1/hls-conformance.md. The bugs it found have landed, and it passes. Its one exemption is a DASH reconfigure gap that an existing quest owns (see Choices).

What changed

• rs/moq-hls/tests/integration/conformance.rs (new, #[ignore]d because it runs ffmpeg and ffprobe):
  • Media: ffmpeg encodes a 24 s ladder as one transport stream, muxed with -max_interleave_delta 0 so the streams stay interleaved:
    • video0: 640x360, 2 s GOP, B-frames.
    • video1: 3 s GOP, unaligned with video0. It overruns the declared 2 s duration and changes 320x180 → 480x270 at 12 s with the same codec string, so the export replaces the rendition instance.
    • AAC audio.
  • Serving: the TS is imported with moq_mux::import::Container and served by moq_hls::Server across a moq-net session, with a 6 s window so most segments are evicted.
  • Polling: after each of 96 import chunks, the test reads the master, every media playlist, and the MPD. It fetches every listed segment and init while listed. It refetches them periodically, right after a mid-run catalog estimate update (bitrate, and a jitter that only rises), and at the end. The segment cursors record every rendition instance.
  • Checks, once the broadcast ends:
    • Each segment decodes against its init.
    • EXTINF matches the decoded duration.
    • Consecutive segments are continuous.
    • S@t/S@d match the decoded start and duration.
    • Every HLS and DASH segment opens on a keyframe that is decoded and presented first. Every DASH adaptation set advertises startWithSAP="1". The export emits no EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS, so the HLS check doesn't depend on it.
    • Each DASH timeline lists the segments the cursors recorded, compared by bytes. The one exemption is a retired instance's last segment (see below).
    • EXT-X-TARGETDURATION holds per playlist.
    • Bytes per URL never change.
    • Numbering is contiguous, with no segment evicted unseen and no EXT-X-GAP holding content.
    • The DASH manifest has no segmentAlignment.
    • The recording equals what HTTP served.
  • Coverage guards: the test also asserts that a segment overran the declared 2 s duration (independent of EXT-X-TARGETDURATION), that a reconfigure happened, and that the window evicted segments. A scenario can't silently stop being covered.
• rs/moq-hls/Cargo.toml: dev-dependencies mp4-atom and tempfile. mp4-atom 0.17 moves to the root [workspace.dependencies], and moq-mux and moq-hls inherit it.
• just rs hls-conformance runs it. It is added to the nightly tests matrix in .github/workflows/nightly.yml. ffmpeg with libx264 comes from the dev shell's rustDeps.
• Quests: quest/m1/hls-conformance.md is deleted, along with every link to it. Two prose mentions now name the test file. Its remaining grid check moves to the quests that own it:
  • quest/m0/hls-media-grid.md: convert the test off with_hls, and extend it to check that every rendition shares the grid's segment numbers while its boundaries follow its own keyframes. This comes from the conformance quest's 2026-11-02 Plan.
  • quest/m1/hls-reinit-same-codec.md: its Goal no longer names this test as the regression test, since the test passes without exercising the hand-over race (see below). The fix needs its own test that forces the new config's first group ahead of the catalog update.

Round 2 (2026-11-02): online review findings on e7ca0eb

• Merged origin/main (no conflicts). Main renamed the video track to 1.avc3.
• Pullfrog, the HLS sync check was dead: it was gated on EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS, which no renderer emits. It now runs on every segment, and DASH must advertise startWithSAP="1".
• Pullfrog, the DASH segment set wasn't compared: it now is, against the recording. That exposed the reconfigure gap quest/m2/dash-reconfigure.md owns (see Choices).
• CodeRabbit, overrun guard: it now compares with the declared duration, not EXT-X-TARGETDURATION.
• CodeRabbit, mp4-atom: it is now a workspace dependency, per rs/AGENTS.md.
• CodeRabbit, quest wording: quest/m1/hls-reinit-same-codec.md no longer claims a delivery order the test doesn't observe.

Round 1 (2026-11-02)

• Merged origin/main (no rebase). Resolved conflicts:
  • nightly.yml: kept main's matrix and added rs hls-conformance.
  • Cargo.lock: kept main's and relocked.
  • The quest file: kept main's version, then deleted it as finished.
• Ported the test to main: moq_clock became kio::clock, and moq_hls::Server::new is now fallible.
• The three bugs it found have all landed:
  • moq-dev/moq#7437: final TS AAC segment duration.
  • moq-dev/moq#7436: a reconfigured rendition keeps its segments in its playlist.
  • moq-dev/moq#7627: Rendition::set keeps the published jitter and delay floors. This was finding 3, the JitterDecreased abort at video1's switch.

Hand-over race

moq-dev/moq#7436 left one race open, now owned by quest/m1/hls-reinit-same-codec.md: the new config's first group can reach the retiring instance before the catalog update does. This fixture hasn't hit it. The test neither forces nor observes which of the catalog update and the new config's first group reaches the export first, and the paused clock makes every run take the same order. The test passed every run, and the decode check would fail if a group were muxed under the wrong init. So no exclusion is needed, but this test is not a regression test for that race.

Not bugs; the test handles them

• ffmpeg's B-frame delay: ffmpeg's mov demuxer delays a fragment with negative composition offsets by -min(cts) when there is no edit list. The export's tfdt/trun timing is correct per ISO/IEC 14496-12, so the test takes that shift back off using the fragment's trun.
• Trailing zero-length gap: a zero-duration EXT-X-GAP after the last segment is by design in moq-mux. The test allows a gap only when it has zero duration (quest/m2/hls-trailing-gap.md).
• Reconfigure via a new name: a resolution change that also changes the H.264 level mints a new track name instead of a new instance, per the hang track-identity rule.

Decisions

1. ✅ Fix first (maintainer, 2026-10-30). The PR stayed a draft until the bugs it found landed. Then it merges main, confirms the probes pass with no exclusions, and is marked ready. All three fixes are merged, and the probes pass with no exclusion for those bugs. Round 2's new DASH set comparison adds one exemption, for a gap already quested separately (see Choices).
2. ✅ Fixture repair (maintainer, 2026-10-31). Apply the posted patch, and make the mid-run edit raise jitter only.
3. ✅ The trailing zero-duration EXT-X-GAP is its own quest, quest/m2/hls-trailing-gap.md. It doesn't block this PR.
4. ✅ Resume now that the waits look cleared (maintainer, via /quest-unblock, 2026-11-02).

Choices made without asking

• DASH exemption for a retired instance's last segment (round 2). The manifest lists only the current instance, so the old instance's last segment before a reconfigure is never listed. Here that is video/1.avc3 segment 3, which ends at the 12 s switch. quest/m2/dash-reconfigure.md owns that gap (maintainer, 2026-10-31), and its Plan already directed extending this test's DASH checks. So the test exempts exactly the last segment under each retired init, and that quest now says to drop the exemption. This narrow exemption is the only one. The alternatives were to drop the DASH set comparison, or to block this PR on that quest, which is three quests deep.
• Dropped the Required link to quest/m1/hls-reinit-same-codec.md by finishing the quest. That link said the same-codec switch fails until the race is fixed, but it passes (see Hand-over race).
• Grid check moved to hls-media-grid. The quest's 2026-11-02 Plan said the test validates the grid's shared segment numbers. That can only be checked once the grid exists, and that quest must convert this test anyway, so it carries the check.
• One #[ignore]d integration test in the existing moq-hls integration binary, run nightly through nextest's --run-ignored only, the same pattern as rs cli-export.
• Paused tokio clock: each chunk settles until every in-process task is idle, so the run reproduces exactly. A playlist render held waiting for media is bounded by a virtual 1 s.
• Media generated at test time: ffmpeg encodes from lavfi, so nothing is checked in.
• Tolerance: 2.5 ms (records carry milliseconds).
• Jitter edit: max(current, 40 ms) on every video rendition, so the whole ladder needs one estimate edit.

Checks

• quest gate just rs hls-conformance: passes on b711cda8e7. Without the DASH exemption it fails on exactly video/1.avc3 segment 3.
• quest gate just check origin/main: passes on b711cda8e7, with 11,387 tests run. The flake check was skipped because this host can't create user namespaces.
• quest check --base origin/main: passes on b711cda8e7.
• Not verified locally: the nightly workflow itself.

Review

• Reviewer: Codex (quest review), gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort.
• Head b711cda8e70ac03f35600af130958c7839d2bd9d: no findings. This was round 1 of a new session: the merge from main changed the applicable agent instructions, so quest review started one, with responses covering the online reviewers' findings.
• Earlier sessions: head e7ca0ebcb9, then 0f27ff186d and 0a3842ae48, all with no findings.
• Online reviewers on e7ca0ebcb9: CodeRabbit (2 inline, 1 nitpick) and Pullfrog (1 inline, 1 in the review body) were all fixed in b711cda8e7 and answered on the PR. Codex's online review found nothing actionable.

Suggested follow-ups

• HLS playlists advertise EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS when every segment opens on a SAP. No renderer emits it today, and quest/m2/intra-refresh/export-sync-flags.md assumes it is part of the sync-flag set. Once it lands, the conformance test can also assert the tag.
• The hand-over race, the grid checks, and the DASH reconfigure gap stay in their existing quests, as described above.

Fixture repair from the moq-dev/moq#7436 investigation (maintainer decision 2026-10-31: fix the fixture first).

The same-codec video1 failure is partly a fixture artifact. The TS puts the 12 s size switch before the first video0 and audio packets, so the first catalog snapshot already declares 480x270. This patch also adapts to mp4-atom 0.17, which main now uses:

With it, import fails at the switch with catalog jitter cannot decrease for a published rendition. The cause: the mid-run edit raises video1's jitter to 40 ms, and then Rendition::set doesn't keep the published floor. A follow-up quest is suggested for that. The same edit also lowers video0's jitter from 133 ms to 40 ms; consider raising only (max).

With a local workaround for the jitter failure, the remaining video1 failures are in the export's instance handoff, not decoding. Details are in moq-dev/moq#7436.

Reviewed commit: e7ca0eb

No actionable bugs found. Reusing the session harness, generating the ladder at runtime, and comparing served segments with both manifests and the recorder is a sound direction. Keeping the external decoder checks nightly is appropriate.

Verification: static review only; I did not run ffmpeg/ffprobe, tests, or Nightly. This fixture does not establish coverage of the separately tracked catalog/group hand-over race or future shared-grid numbering.

Walkthrough

Adds an ignored Tokio integration test that checks HLS playlists and a DASH manifest against served media, recorded segments, and ffprobe results. Adds a command for running the test and includes it in the nightly test matrix. Updates quest documents to reference the test, revise related plans, or remove the former conformance quest.

Merge Risk: Low · up to e7ca0

This adds a nightly, ignored conformance test and does not change production behavior. The overrun guard is coupled to the server's target-duration calculation and should be made independent, but this is a small, non-blocking follow-up.

Keep overrun coverage independent of EXT-X-TARGETDURATION.

617-617: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Keep overrun coverage independent of EXT-X-TARGETDURATION.

moq-hls currently sets the target from the declared duration, so the three-second video1 GOP correctly triggers this guard. The guard should still test the fixture’s declared two-second duration, not the server’s current target implementation. Otherwise, raising the target would make the test fail to verify the documented overrun.

Suggested fix

-				overran |= segment.duration > target;
+				overran |= segment.duration > DURATION.as_secs_f64() + TOLERANCE;

Do not add a target-violation failure to this coverage guard. The export code intentionally lists overlong GOPs and reports them separately using the rounded EXTINF value.

Important

The HLS half of the sync conformance check never runs. self.independent is only ever set by #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS, which no moq-hls renderer emits, so the branch is dead from day one and the HLS sync claim in the PR description is not actually validated. Details inline.

Reviewed changes

• Nightly conformance test (rs/moq-hls/tests/integration/conformance.rs, new, #[ignore]d): ffmpeg encodes a 24s unaligned ladder, imports it as TS, serves it through moq_hls::Server over an in-memory moq-net session, and ffprobe-decodes every listed segment against its init to compare timing, numbering, sync, bytes, and the recording against the HLS playlists and DASH manifest.
• Nightly wiring (.github/workflows/nightly.yml, rs/justfile): rs hls-conformance added to the Tests-matrix recipes, mirroring rs cli-export; the recipe runs the #[ignore]d test with --run-ignored only.
• Dev-dependencies (rs/moq-hls/Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock): mp4-atom 0.17 and tempfile.
• Quests: finishes and deletes quest/m1/hls-conformance.md, moves its grid check to quest/m0/hls-media-grid.md, and updates the remaining references.

The test is otherwise careful: the coverage guards (overran, reconfigured, evicted) fail a run that stops exercising its scenario, fetch() re-checks bytes on reload, and the recording == listed comparison catches an unseen eviction. No dangling references to the deleted quest remain, sh/gh/nightly.test.py and sh/gh/alert.sh check-coverage pass, and the new #[ignore] test is reachable through the recipe, so the test-inventory gate needs no allow entry. I could not re-run clippy here (the known libspa-sys/libpipewire environment gap).

ℹ️ DASH segment coverage is not compared to anything

The DASH loop probes only the S entries the manifest happens to list, and assert_eq!(self.timelines.len(), RENDITIONS) counts representations, not segments. A manifest that dropped an S entry for a segment would leave that segment unvalidated and still pass, whereas the HLS side is anchored by recording == listed. The deleted quest's goal named "DASH lists the same segments by $Time$"; if that is still wanted, comparing the timeline's t set (or count) against the recording would close it.

Technical details

# DASH segment set is never compared

## Affected sites
- rs/moq-hls/tests/integration/conformance.rs:586 — `assert_eq!(self.timelines.len(), RENDITIONS)` checks representations only.
- rs/moq-hls/tests/integration/conformance.rs:655-678 — probes each listed `S`, never the set of listed `S`.

## Required outcome
- A DASH manifest missing a segment (or a whole representation's worth) fails the test, as an HLS listing gap does via `recording != listed`.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Compare each representation's `t` set against the recorded segment set for the matching rendition, mirroring the HLS `recording != listed` guard.

Replying to the two findings posted in review bodies on e7ca0eb. Both are fixed in b711cda.

• CodeRabbit nitpick, overrun coverage independent of EXT-X-TARGETDURATION (review): agreed. The guard now checks segment.duration > DURATION + TOLERANCE, so it tests the fixture's 3 s GOP against the declared 2 s, whatever target the export picks. No target-violation failure was added, since doc/bin/hls.md documents listing overlong GOPs.
• Pullfrog, the DASH segment set isn't compared (review): agreed. Each representation's fetched timeline is now compared, by bytes, with the segments the cursors recorded for that rendition. The $Time$ and sequence URLs name the same bytes (segments::At). The comparison immediately caught a real gap: video/1.avc3 segment 3, the retired instance's last segment before the 12 s reconfigure, is never listed. The manifest lists only the current instance, which quest/m2/dash-reconfigure.md already owns. So the test exempts only a retired instance's last segment, and that quest now says to drop the exemption. Any other missing or unrecorded DASH segment fails the test.

Reviewed commit: b711cda

Reviewed the substantive changes since e7ca0eb, excluding changes brought in from main. No new actionable bugs found.

The unconditional sync checks address Pullfrog’s finding, and comparing DASH segments with the recording strengthens coverage. The retired-instance tail exception is explicitly tracked rather than establishing full reconfigure coverage. The direction remains sound.

Verification: static review only; I did not run the tests, ffmpeg/ffprobe, or Nightly.

[pullfrog]

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes (delta since the prior pullfrog review at e7ca0eb):

• Ran the HLS and DASH sync checks unconditionally, dropping the dead EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS gate, and made every DASH adaptation set fail unless it advertises startWithSAP="1". Addresses the prior inline finding.
• Added a DASH timeline-vs-recording byte comparison so a manifest that omits a recorded segment fails, with a narrow retired() exemption for the one segment a reconfigure retires before it is ever listed. Addresses the prior review-body finding.
• Changed the overrun coverage guard to compare against the fixture's declared DURATION rather than the playlist's EXT-X-TARGETDURATION, keeping it independent of the server's target implementation.
• Moved mp4-atom to the workspace dependency table and corrected the quest wording.

The retired() exemption is bounded correctly (one number per init transition, never a current-instance number), and the comparison fails loud on a dropped or unrecorded segment. Note this is static review only: ffmpeg/ffprobe are not installed on this host, so the #[ignore]d test was not executed here, and clippy still cannot run (the known libspa-sys/libpipewire environment gap).
