fix(mux): flag skipped semantic media on the PCR - #7785
Carry delivery-loss counts through decode buffering and audio PES packing. Coalesce overlapping media-loss intervals across tracks into one program break. Mark the first resumed release slot, or the first backfilled slot across a long clock jump, after queued earlier media.
When refreshed tables lead the resumed unit, they carry the loss, so a long outage's clock jump to them is the flagged PCR. A unit with no packets leaves the loss pending for the next.
Each track keeps the last loss it signalled or joined; a new loss merges with every one it overlaps, by both endpoints, so disjoint losses flag separately in either mux order. A track with nothing muxed since the last reset starts its loss at that reset, which such tracks share.
Check exact flag counts, flag positions, stable PAT/PMT versions, and the importer's PCR health counters. Cover repeated short and long gaps, padded and unpadded output, rendition moves, same-instance handoffs, and disjoint A/V losses muxed out of presentation order. Update the recovery profiles and timing grader for flagged clock gaps.
Document the loss contract and complete the quest. The TS epic loses its last child, so its README carries the remaining work's size, [M] (my choice; adjust if you size the guide differently).
Impact
Public API and MoQ wire: none.
Output TS: only the first PCR after a delivery skip sets discontinuity_indicator. Setting the flag does not revise PAT/PMT versions or restart pacing. Raw passthrough retains its unchanged packets.
Alternatives
Flagging during read-ahead or muxing can consume the flag on older queued output before capped backfill jumps the clock. The scheduler owns that boundary. Flagging only numerical PCR jumps would omit the explicitly requested short-skip signal. Flagging every PID and revising the PMT was explicitly rejected because the program is unchanged (recorded decision).
The scheduling changes in #7779 and decode-recovery overlap in #7221 were read; neither branch was imported.
Decisions
Cross-track loss deduplication (Codex round 2 on c51bdebf60): a track with more send-ahead can resume two disjoint outages A then B before a slower track resumes A, and the slower track flags A again (three flags for two outages). Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-complete):
✅ Keep per-track last-loss coalescing as is: state bounded by the track count; the extra flag lands where loss really happened.
Retain every loss until all tracks pass it: unbounded while a track stalls.
Collapse losses older than the release floor into one hull: more code, and assumes release-order muxing.
Recorded in the epic's Plan (quest/m1/ts-reliability/README.md, since this PR deletes skip-flag.md) and as a comment on Track::lost; declined on the PR in this comment.
Validation
Reproduced each fixed finding before fixing it: the leading-tables jump flagged slot 401 instead of the jump at 359 (schedule::tests::a_skip_flags_the_jump_to_the_tables_leading_a_placed_unit); an empty unit dropped the flag (a_skip_waits_for_a_unit_with_packets); the disjoint A/V loss produced 1 flag instead of 2 at every audio offset tried (recovery_test::disjoint_outages_across_both_tracks_flag_twice).
a_skipped_group_flags_the_clock now also asserts that the first PES after each flagged PCR is the audio that resumes that hole, across all 12 delay/rate/hole cases.
quest gate just ci on af1a3a3 (after merging origin/main): all checks passed, 4,570 Rust tests (64 skipped), JS, GitHub workflow, quest, and repository checks.
quest check --base origin/main: passed.
Review
Codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, reviewed af1a3a3417: no findings. This is a new session, because no stored session for rounds 1 and 2 could be resumed. Changes since round 2 are a comment on Track::lost, the epic's decision record, and a conflict-free merge of origin/main.
Round 2 (c51bdebf60): one finding, the A/B/A extra flag. Refuted by the maintainer decision under Decisions.
Round 1 (68f72fc375): a single stored interval let a disjoint loss overwrite another, so with three tracks the order A, B, A flagged A twice. Fixed by per-track intervals and coalesce, with a unit test of the interleaving.
GitHub reviews on b19a2a4e7f: leading PSI before a placed unit (fixed), coalescing on one endpoint (fixed), an empty unit losing the skip (fixed), flag position untested (fixed). CodeRabbit's linked-issue warning that #7741 wants a fresh PMT version is refuted by the recorded decision above: PCR flag only, no PMT bump.

Walkthrough
The TS scheduler and exporter now propagate delivery gaps to PCR discontinuity flags. Tests cover skipped groups, overlapping track losses, recovery cases, and unchanged PAT/PMT versions. The CLI guide describes the PCR behavior and states that raw --passthrough preserves surviving packets unchanged across loss. The benchmark adds a skipped-schedule case.
The change adds PCR gap signaling, but separate cross-track losses and rejected empty sections can still leave a gap unmarked. These narrow signaling defects warrant fixes or explicit acceptance; no widespread playback failure is established.

P2: Flag the jump when leading PSI precedes a placed unit (rs/moq-mux/src/container/ts/schedule.rs:1148-1155). For a long gap in a placed PES/verbatim track, refreshed PSI can release before the gap-bearing media unit. With zero delay, a 10 s placement yields PSI at slot 399 and media at 401; from next=101 the scheduler jumps to 359 and checks only through 399. The resumed unit therefore does not mark the jumped PCR, and the flag comes later at 401. Carry the gap to the leading PSI boundary or otherwise identify the resumed unit that caused the jump; add a long-gap placed-unit test that checks importer health.
P2: Test both ends when coalescing loss intervals (rs/moq-mux/src/container/ts/export.rs:3385-3389). A single gap_until assumes gaps arrive in presentation order, but tracks are muxed by per-track release key. With 500 ms delay, video with large HRD send-ahead can release a loss at 10.20–10.30 before AAC's separate 10.00–10.10 loss. The latter's start is below gap_until, so its independent flag is suppressed even though the intervals do not overlap. Retain both endpoints and compare interval overlap regardless of arrival order; cover disjoint A/V losses with different send-ahead as well as the existing shared-outage case.
Verification: static GitHub review of scheduling, loss propagation and tests; I did not run the tests or reproduce these cases at runtime.

Skip accounting through decode buffering: Queued.gap / Track.gap carry cumulative delivery skips (skip - restart) to mux time, so read-ahead cannot flag output that was already queued.
Overlapping A/V losses coalesce: Program.gap_until plus per-track last_timestamp turn a shared outage into one program break while a later, non-overlapping gap keeps its own flag; reset on rewind.
PCR flag placement in the scheduler: Schedule::skip() marks the next pushed unit, and next() flags the slot at its release, scanning index + BACKFILL after a long jump so the first backfilled PCR carries the flag instead of a still-queued old-clock slot.
PCR emission and packing: slot.discontinuity is ORed into the existing pcr_discontinuity, so PAT/PMT versions and pacing are untouched; packed audio carries PesUnit.skipped and starts a fresh PES.
Coverage and docs: paused-clock checks in export_test.rs (short/long holes, both mux modes, zero/500 ms delay, importer Health) and recovery_test.rs (per-arm break counts across recovery profiles), a ts_schedule_skip benchmark, plus the CLI and TS test docs.
Fixed the check failure. Main advanced Health::packet from now: Option<u64> to At { count, arrival }, so the PR's new assert_skip_discontinuity helper no longer compiled after GitHub merged the branch with main.
Changes pushed:
Merged current main into the branch so health.rs and the test agree.
Updated the helper to feed each packet's index and arrival (rs/moq-mux/src/container/ts/export_test.rs).
Verified locally after restoring the workspace-hack dev-dependency: moq-mux lib tests compile, and a_skipped_group_flags_the_clock, the same-instance/handoff, moved-rendition, and return-history tests pass. The recovery_test cases need FFmpeg from the Nix dev shell, so they were not run locally.
The merged importer health API now receives each test packet's count and arrival; the added position data is consistent with that API. I found no additional actionable issue in the test adaptation.
Both P2 findings from the prior review remain: leading PSI can trigger an unflagged long PCR jump before a placed resumed unit's flag, and coalescing on only the last gap's upper endpoint can suppress a disjoint earlier-presentation A/V loss processed later. The scheduler and coalescing logic are unchanged in this update.
Verification: static GitHub inspection of the base merge and test adaptation; I did not run the importer, tests, or runtime reproductions.
assert_skip_discontinuity checks how many packets carry the discontinuity flag, not where the flags sit. The position check requires only that a flagged packet carries a PCR. The PAT, PMT, and health checks do not depend on which PCR is flagged. With a continuous PCR grid, as the short-hole fixture is written to produce, a flag on an earlier PCR passes all of these checks.
The doc comment states that a skip changes only the next PCR's flag. The helper does not enforce this. Add a check that each flagged PCR is the first PCR at or after the resume point of its hole, and that no other PCR carries the flag. The helper needs the resume point of each hole from a_skipped_group_flags_the_clock.

…t losses in either order
A long loss ahead of a placed unit jumped the clock to the refreshed tables
leading it, slots before the unit carrying the flag, so the jump went
unflagged. The tables now carry the loss. A unit with no packets keeps the
loss pending for the next.
Loss intervals across tracks coalesce only when both endpoints overlap, so a
disjoint earlier-presentation loss muxed second still flags its own PCR.

A track with no media muxed since the last reset starts its missing interval
at that reset, which every such track shares, so their losses across a
recovered clock jump still coalesce into one flag.
The skip-flag quest was the TS epic's last child, so its README now carries
the remaining work's size.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
With three or more tracks, losses can reach the mux in the order A, B, A.
A single stored interval let the disjoint B overwrite A, so the third track
flagged A again. Each track now keeps the last loss it signalled or joined,
bounded by the track count, and a new loss merges with every one it
overlaps.

Iterated on this PR and pushed c51bdebf60: merged main, and fixed the review findings on b19a2a4e7f:
Leading PSI before a placed unit (review): fixed. Tables that lead the resumed unit carry the loss, so the jump at slot 359 is the flagged PCR. Before the fix, the reviewer's case reproduced with the flag at slot 401.
One-endpoint coalescing: fixed. Overlap now checks both endpoints, and each track keeps its own last loss.
Empty unit dropping the skip: fixed.
Flag position untested: the skip test now asserts that the first PES after each flag resumes its hole.
CodeRabbit's PMT-version warning: refuted by the recorded quest decision to flag the PCR only, with no PMT bump.
One Codex finding is still open. A track can resume two disjoint outages before a slower track resumes the first, and the first is then flagged twice. Making this exact with bounded state is a design trade-off, so the PR is back in draft. The options and a recommendation are under ## Waiting in the description.
Declining Codex's round-2 finding on c51bdebf60: a track with more send-ahead can resume two disjoint outages A then B before a slower track resumes A, and since each track keeps only its last loss, the slower track flags A again (three flags for two outages).
Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-complete): keep it as is. State stays bounded by the number of tracks, and the extra flag lands where loss really happened. Not chosen: keeping every loss until all tracks pass it (unbounded while a track stalls), or collapsing losses older than the release point minus the delay (more code, and it assumes muxing in release order). The decision is recorded in the ts-reliability epic's Plan and in a comment on Track::lost.
Both earlier findings are fixed: the discontinuity now reaches leading PSI, and coalescing checks both endpoints with per-track loss history. The new regressions exercise leading tables and disjoint A/V outages. No new actionable bugs found.
The bounded-state A/B/A duplicate-flag case is explicitly accepted and documented; it is not a new finding. The targeted changes preserve the existing scheduling model without adding a larger loss ledger.
Verification: GitHub-only static review of the delta and tests. I did not run tests or reproduce the scenarios; hosted Check was still running when inspected.

Skip accounting through buffering: Queued.gap / Track.gap carry the cumulative skip - restart count to mux time, so read-ahead cannot flag output queued on the old clock; the count is monotonic across Item::End, Item::Gap, rendition moves, and resubscription.
Cross-track coalescing: per-track last_timestamp and Track.lost merge overlapping loss intervals on both endpoints via coalesce, so a shared A/V outage is one program break while disjoint outages flag separately in either mux order.
Flag placement in the scheduler: Schedule::skip() marks the next queued unit (or its leading tables), an empty unit leaves the loss pending, and next() flags the slot at the resumed unit's release, or the first backfilled slot after a long clock jump.
PCR emission and packing: slot.discontinuity is ORed into program.pcr_discontinuity without touching PAT/PMT versions or pacing, and packed audio carries PesUnit.skipped so it starts a fresh PES after a loss.
Coverage and docs: paused-clock export checks (short/long holes, both mux modes, zero/500 ms delay, importer Health), per-arm breaks in the recovery profiles including disjoint A/V outages, a ts_schedule_skip benchmark, and the CLI/TS coverage docs.
Both earlier OpenAI findings (leading PSI before a placed resumed unit, coalescing on one endpoint) are addressed at this head, and both CodeRabbit threads are resolved. The seamless-rendition-move flag and the bounded per-track loss state match the behavior documented in the PR and the epic's recorded decision.
