Problem

The CARLA map's aerial image was mirrored top to bottom, so trucks appeared to drive over buildings. Baked roads and truck poses were correct.

The map also loaded late. Nothing started until the first truck reported its town, then a JSON chunk and a 350 KB image had to arrive, so trucks sat on a bare map for about 1.7 s on moq.dev.

<moq-carla> also brought its own title bar, opaque background, and fixed palette, so it looked out of place on moq.dev.

Approach

  • Map orientation: rotate the image to match a yaw -90 camera, which is what moq_carla_sim.aerial captures. Move the manifest to the shape aerial.py writes, and add a test that rejects a shipped manifest with any other yaw.
  • Map loading: shrink the image to 1920x1080 (178 KB), bundle the roads and manifest with the player, and start fetching the image on mount. The image is still a hashed build asset next to the JS.
  • Loading note: stop showing "Road imagery unavailable" while a baked town is still loading.
  • Embedding: reduce the element to the map and its help text, with connection status on the map. It paints no background, and host pages theme it through CSS custom properties on moq-carla.
  • Layout: make the map 16:9 so the aerial fills it, and raise the vehicle view and wheel calibration above sticky host page headers.

Impact

  • No wire or public API change; @moq/demo-carla is private.
  • <moq-carla> no longer renders its title, relay credit, or background. The --bg and --dim custom properties are gone, and --on-accent, --map-bg, and --scrim are new. Hosts that want a title or background provide their own.

Alternatives

  • Recapture with moq_carla_sim.aerial: it only produces square images, which leave bands on a 16:9 map. Rotating and re-encoding the existing image needed no change to the running simulator, at the cost of some extra lossy compression. The 60 degree capture also keeps its building lean.
  • Inline the image in the JS: base64 adds about a third to its size and makes it parse with the script.

Follow-ups

  • just ci passes everything except bench/relay.test.py (test_sampler_stops_generator_after_collecting_both_processes). That test also fails on clean main on macOS and is unrelated to this change.
  • The change was checked in a browser against the live relay. Move the CARLA demo to /carla and match the site theme moq.dev#216 will bump to this once it lands.

The shipped aerial was mirrored top to bottom, so trucks appeared to drive
over buildings. Rotate it to what a yaw -90 camera sees, matching the roads.

Reduce the player to the map and its help text, with no background of its own
and colors a host page can set through CSS custom properties.

Walkthrough

The status publisher now timestamps snapshots with the broadcast catalog clock and creates the status track with a 1,000-unit timescale. The web player updates aerial-map metadata, preloading, and map-loading state. It also moves status and steering-wheel controls into the map and revises the player layout and styling.

Merge Risk: Low · up to bc2eb

Wheel calibration is unavailable while a vehicle is focused, but clearing focus restores it. The change is mergeable with awareness of this bounded interaction regression; restoring calibration access is recommended.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 80.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 10 functions across 6 files. (7 skipped: 7 unsupported.)

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the problem (aerial image mirrored top to bottom, slow map loading, and the embed's title bar and background) and gives a concrete approach (rotating the image to a yaw -90 camera, shrinking it to 1920x1080, bundling assets, removing the header and background, and making the map 16:9). Its impact and follow-up sections match the changeset. It is clearly related to the changes, so the check passes.

Reviewed commit: a484863

P2: Accept the aerial generator's manifest shape (demo/carla/sim/tests/test_aerial.py:35-39). The new test applies to every shipped aerial, but the documented capture command writes camera.yaw and no capture object (moq_carla_sim/aerial.py), whereas the test requires camera.rotation_degrees.yaw and capture. Capturing and shipping another town or replacing this image using the documented workflow therefore makes the check fail with a KeyError even though the image and player manifest are valid. Normalize the generator and existing asset to one schema, or accept both shapes while checking their orientation.

Direction: validating the orientation at the asset boundary is useful; keep the check aligned with the supported asset-producing workflow.

Verification: statically inspected the generator, map loader, projection, layout and tests; visually inspected the shipped WebP against road positions. I did not run a browser, simulator, or test suite.

Fixed the failing check carla step and pushed bc2eb7378 to claude/carla-embed-theme.

Diagnosis: the only failing check is check carla (Pyright), at demo/carla/sim/moq_carla_sim/publish.py:202: SnapshotProducer.update now requires a broadcast-clock timestamp, but the CARLA status publisher still called it untimed with an untimed TrackInfo. That breakage is pre-existing on main and unrelated to this PR's web changes; the PR description already noted it.

Fix: gave the status track timescale=1_000, stamped updates with moq.media.CatalogProducer(broadcast).now(), and updated the test stubs so a call that drops the timestamp fails. This matches the open fix in #7755, so the two can merge cleanly.

Verified locally: Pyright 0 errors, ruff check clean, ruff format --check clean, and pytest 170 passed.

Reviewed commit: bc2eb73, following a484863.

The status snapshots now declare a timescale and take timestamps from the broadcast catalog clock, matching the updated JSON producer API. No new actionable finding in that change. The previously reported aerial manifest test/generator schema mismatch remains.

Verification: static GitHub review of the delta, Python binding and FFI clock path. I did not run the simulator or tests.

(Written by review, OpenAI)

The orientation test read fields only the hand-supplied manifest had, so a
capture from the documented workflow would have failed it.

Reviewed changes

This run reviewed the single commit a4848630e, covering the CARLA aerial map orientation fix, the loading changes, and the player theming rework.

  • Aerial orientation: The manifest's camera yaw changes from 90 to -90 and capture.horizontal_flip_applied is removed; the WebP is regenerated. The Python test now rejects a shipped manifest with any other yaw or a flip flag.
  • Loading: The aerial shrinks to 1920x1080 (178 KB), the road and manifest JSONs are imported eagerly, preloadAerials starts the image fetch on mount, and the "Road imagery unavailable" note waits for the load to finish instead of flashing while a baked town loads.
  • Embedding: <moq-carla> drops its title bar, background, and fixed palette. The connection status and wheel chip move onto the map, and host pages theme the element through --on-accent, --map-bg, and --scrim.
  • Layout: The map is 16:9, the aerial fills it without extra padding, and the vehicle view and wheel calibration sit above sticky host headers at z-index: 1000+.

Record timestamps in the fake status publisher and test that the clock advances.

The fake CatalogProducer.now() always returns value=0, and the fake SnapshotProducer.update ignores its timestamp argument. A change that reuses one clock reading for every status update would pass the current tests. Make the fake record each timestamp. Add a test that advances the clock between two StatusPublisher.publish calls and asserts that each update receives its own reading.

Check the shipped image hash in the aerial test.

The test name says it checks the orientation of the road map, but the body reads only yaw and capture.horizontal_flip_applied from the manifest. It never reads the image file. The manifest records image_sha256, but no code in demo/carla compares it with the image. The player also decodes the image without a checksum check. A replaced WebP with a stale orientation therefore passes the test while the manifest stays unchanged.

Hashing the file named by image and comparing it with image_sha256 catches that case. The current Town10HD_Opt.aerial.webp matches its recorded digest, so the assertion passes today. A matching hash does not prove pixel orientation. It only shows that the image bytes match the manifest.

Keep the calibration trigger outside the inerted main.

While a truck is focused, refreshFocusLayout marks main inert, so #wheel cannot be clicked or focused. Calibration cannot open until the focus is cleared.

The inline findings referenced in the review above, for reference:

⚠️ The manifest yaw guard is not active in CI

loadRoadMap validates the manifest's name, image, and bbox but not camera.rotation_degrees.yaw, the field that decides whether the aerial is mirrored. The only guard is test_shipped_aerials_use_the_road_map_orientation, but the PR body says the Pyright error stops check carla before pytest. Consider validating the yaw in loadRoadMap so a bad manifest fails in the browser rather than rendering a mirrored aerial.

ℹ️ preloadAerials fetches every image in IMAGES

IMAGES matches both .png and .webp; the manifest selects one. If both formats exist for a town, both download. Consider preloading only the images referenced by AERIALS.

Technical details
# Validate the manifest yaw in loadRoadMap

## Affected sites
- demo/carla/web/src/maps/index.ts:34 — the validation covers name, image, and bbox but not `camera.rotation_degrees.yaw`.
- demo/carla/sim/tests/test_aerial.py:39 — the only yaw guard, but `check carla` stops at the Pyright error before pytest, so it does not run in CI.

## Required outcome
- A manifest whose `camera.rotation_degrees.yaw` is not -90, or whose `capture.horizontal_flip_applied` is present, should fail the load in the browser rather than render a mirrored aerial.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Extend `AerialManifest` with the `camera` and `capture` fields and reject a mismatched yaw in the existing validation block. The test stays as the build-time guard.

This run re-reviewed bc2eb7378, the commit since Pullfrog's prior review of a4848630e.

  • Status clock: The status track now declares a 1 ms timescale and stamps every snapshot from moq.media.CatalogProducer.now(), the same broadcast epoch the media tracks use, fixing the prior timestamp-less update the binding rejects.
  • Test doubles: The stub SnapshotProducer.update takes the timestamp, and a stub CatalogProducer supplies the broadcast clock.
  • Closed-track test: The failure-path update stub matches the timestamped signature and stubs the clock the publisher now reads.

The full CARLA sim suite passes locally (170 tests).

Summary of changes since the first review:

  • Manifest shape finding: fixed. The shipped manifest now uses the shape aerial.py writes, and the test reads camera.yaw, so captures from the documented workflow pass.
  • Pullfrog's bc2eb7378: adds nothing now. It matches fix(carla): stamp status snapshots from the broadcast clock #7755, which landed first, and merging main left no worker diff in this PR.
  • just ci: everything passes except bench/relay.test.py, which also fails on clean main on macOS.

The aerial manifest finding is addressed: the shipped manifest and orientation test now use camera.yaw, matching the capture generator, while the player-consumed fields remain intact. No new actionable issue in the branch's schema change. The status-clock change in my previous review is now also on the merged base.

Verification: GitHub-only static review of the generator, manifest, loader and projection. I did not run the simulator, browser or tests.

This run re-reviewed 850a2af69, the only CARLA commit since Pullfrog's prior review of bc2eb7378 (the 416f042 merge is a main base sync that touches no CARLA files).

  • Aligned the shipped manifest with the generator: rewrote Town10HD_Opt.aerial.json to the shape moq_carla_sim.aerial writes (camera.{x,y,z,pitch,yaw,fov}, plus top-level bbox/width/height/groundZ), dropping the hand-authored version, map, image_sha256, units, image_size, projection, and capture objects.
  • Fixed the orientation test: it now reads camera["yaw"] and no longer requires capture.horizontal_flip_applied, so a manifest produced by the documented capture workflow passes instead of raising KeyError.
  • Updated the maps README: removed the checksum and capture-metadata wording to match the new manifest shape.

I confirmed the web loader consumes only name, image, and bbox, and no code in demo/carla references the removed fields, so the slimmer manifest is consistent. The shipped camera.yaw is -90 and the new assertion passes against it.
