Problem

Every moq-mux container consumer must widen its subscription by the catalog warmup and then call with_warmup before with_delay. That order-sensitive pair was done by hand in moq-audio and moq-c and missed entirely by moq-ffi's raw MoqMediaTrackConsumer and moq-gst's moqsrc. The raw FFI consumer could not even see the warmup: MoqAudio and MoqVideo had no warmup, so convert_catalog dropped it.

Closes the quest quest/m1/mux-warmup.md, which this PR deletes along with its link in quest/m1/README.md.

Decisions

Decided 2026-11-04 (maintainer): how catalog warmup reaches the raw FFI consumer.

• ✅ Add public optional warmup fields to the FFI catalog records MoqAudio and MoqVideo, so convert_catalog keeps a rendition's warmup and MoqMediaTrackConsumer::subscribe receives it.
• Not chosen: an internal catalog lookup inside the raw subscriber, with a policy for standalone renditions and missing catalogs.

The decision is recorded in the quest Plan in 7f95b55571, before the finished quest is deleted.

Choices made without asking, within the quest's allowed shapes:

• Shape: moq_mux::container::Playout { delay, warmup } (a builder value rather than a self-subscribing constructor). moq-audio and moq-video move the read cursor (Start::Latest) between subscribing and building the consumer, so a constructor that subscribed itself would not fit them. playout.subscription(sub) widens the max delay by the warmup; playout.consumer(track, format) skips at the max delay alone. If the track was subscribed without the widening, consumer widens it, so order no longer matters.
• moq-video uses Playout with a zero warmup on both lanes. Its max-delay lane already holds the warmup on both delay bounds as lateness tolerance, so passing the catalog warmup would carve it back out of the skip (as the quest recorded).
• moqsrc: clips the Opus warmup's decoded samples after the pre-skip, as moq-audio withholds a join's warmup (none for a play from group 0). Shape carries the warmup but leaves it out of equality. A changed warmup matters only to a join, so it reaches the next reader without restarting a playing one.
• Gap the change exposed: the decoding FFI consumers (MoqAudioConsumer and MoqVideoConsumer) rebuilt hang configs without the warmup too. audio_config and video_config now carry it, so moq-video opens its max-delay lane and moq-audio trims its warmup through the bindings as well.
• JS: @moq/hang's consumer already takes delay and warmup together as props, so only its doc cross-reference changes, to container::Playout.

Impact

• Public API (breaking): moq_mux::container::Consumer::with_warmup is removed; container::Playout replaces it. MoqAudio and MoqVideo gain warmup: Option<Duration> (default null, last field). Rust struct literals and unkeyed Go literals change; Kotlin, Swift, Python and Dart construction is unchanged. The Go wrapper refuses a negative Warmup, as it does Jitter, before the generated converter would panic. MIGRATE notes cover moq-mux, moq-ffi, Go, Kotlin, Swift, Python and Dart. The checked-in Dart bindings are regenerated with the pinned generator.
• Behavior: the raw FFI consumer and moqsrc now start a rendition's warmup earlier and ask the publisher for max delay plus warmup, as moq-c and moq-audio already did. The FFI decoding consumers now honor the warmup too.
• Wire: none.

Validation

Adoption regressions, each failing on base, where the subscription stays at the caller's max delay:

• moq-ffi raw_media_catalog_warmup_reaches_the_subscription: audio and video, 200 ms delay and 300 ms warmup, give a 500 ms subscription max (base: 200 ms, reproduced earlier on this PR).
• moq-gst a_rendition_subscribes_with_its_catalog_warmup: video and audio give the session max delay plus warmup (base: the max delay alone).
• moq-ffi audio_config_keeps_the_warmup and video_config_keeps_the_warmup.
• moq-mux the_playout_widens_a_narrow_subscription.
• moq-c media_subscription_includes_warmup and media_warmup_reaches_history, and moq-audio's warmup tests, continue to pass on Playout.

Checks, all run through quest gate:

• just rs test -p moq-mux -p moq-ffi -p moq-gst -p moq-c -p moq-audio -p moq-video: 3195 passed.
• nix develop -c just check origin/main: passed (4532 Rust tests plus C, C++, OBS, JS, Go, Kotlin, Dart, docs, quest).
• Binding suites: just go check, just py test (114 passed), just kt check, just dart check. just swift check skips its build on Linux (format only).
• quest check --base origin/main with a fresh nix build .#quest: 602 documents ok.
• just test interop --all (AGENTS.md requires it for moq-ffi changes): all checks passed on 92beac6ec9, before the merge of origin/main.
• After merging origin/main (conflicts only in the MIGRATE ## Unreleased lists, both entries kept), just dart generate with the pinned generator left the bindings unchanged, and just check origin/main passed again on ccb733aeb4 (4523 Rust tests).

Review

Codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, via quest review --base origin/main (a new session with --new: the earlier rounds on this branch reviewed only the documentation checkpoint).

• Round 1 reviewed ccb733aeb4d8d5754eb2d9e65bf1fa791669b0c9: no findings.
• Round 2 reviewed 1173d3e2e935312f5e9acc697be136a302e31757, which adds the CodeRabbit fixes below. One finding, fixed: OpusClip clipped the warmup even when a play starts at group 0, where decoding begins at the encoder's first packet. It now clips the pre-skip alone there, matching moq-audio's track_start rule (rs/moq-audio/src/decode/consumer.rs:406).
• Round 3 reviewed 4783abf815bb8d0692347c3f9d5a6a7a9fcb622f: no findings.
• Round 4 reviewed f3ccdf85ff6fe86aea97004fb8624e34f2d16246, the current head: no findings. Since round 3 it merges origin/main (which touched rs/moq-gst/src/source/imp.rs and moq-c's manifest without conflict; just rs test -p moq-gst -p moq-c: 405 passed) and fixes Pullfrog's three documentation nits.

Online reviews: CodeRabbit's thread on rs/moq-gst (decoded audio from the warmup reached the sink) was valid for Opus, the only audio codec any publisher here tags with a warmup. Fixed: moqsrc's Opus clip (PreSkip became OpusClip) now also clips the warmup's decoded samples after the pre-skip, using the same GstAudioClippingMeta. Every packet still primes the decoder, and each one is restamped where its first kept sample plays on the shared timeline. Its two nitpicks are fixed too: the raw FFI warmup test now reads, failing with a plain Consumer::new, and a_warmup_update_keeps_the_reader_and_reaches_the_next_one covers a warmup-only catalog update. The thread is answered and resolved. Pullfrog's three documentation nits are fixed: the stale with_warmup tip in moq-mux's MIGRATE, Playout::consumer's doc, which now says widened or narrowed, and moq-video's comment about the double count. Both of its threads are answered and resolved.

Walkthrough

Audio and video renditions now carry optional decoder warmup through Rust FFI and Dart records. The new Rust Playout API configures subscription maximum delay and consumer warmup, replacing Consumer::with_warmup. Rust media consumers use this API, and GStreamer retains warmup updates without treating them as shape changes. Go rendition validation rejects negative warmup values. Tests and migration notes cover the updated behavior and interfaces.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 229a6

Audio-only playback, or playback where audio establishes the timeline, can expose the initial decoder-warmup interval. This is a bounded startup-quality risk rather than a broad playback failure; merging should include owner awareness of this limitation.

Add a read to the warmup test, so it covers the reader that subscribe builds.

raw_media_catalog_warmup_reaches_the_subscription checks only the subscription delay. Line 1855 builds the reader with playout.consumer(track, media), and the test never reads from it. Replacing that call with Consumer::new(track, media) would leave the test passing, although the replacement drops the warmup start and the delay setting that Playout::consumer applies.

Add a read in the style of encoded_media_preserves_breaks. Write a group inside the warmup window, read through MoqMediaTrackConsumer::next, and assert the frame the reader returns.

Add a test for a warmup-only catalog update on a playing rendition.

The new test sets warmup once, before the first subscription. It checks only that subscription's delay.max. No test changes warmup while a reader is playing.

A regression could break this contract without failing any test. One such regression includes warmup in Shape equality, which would restart the playing reader. Another stops storing the updated shape, so the next reader start uses the old value.

Extend the test, or add one nearby, to cover this path:

• Start a session and wait for the first subscription.
• Change only warmup in the catalog for that rendition.
• Assert that no restart occurs. Use the same Seen::Start check that an_update_keeps_the_run uses.
• Start the next reader. Assert that its delay.max equals max_delay + updated_warmup.

Run the check for both video and audio, as the existing test does.

ℹ️ No critical issues — three documentation nits.

Reviewed changes

This run reviewed the full 28-file diff for container::Playout and the catalog-warmup adoption across moq-audio, moq-c, moq-ffi, moq-gst, and moq-video.

• container::Playout: new builder carrying a Delay and the catalog warmup, replacing Consumer::with_warmup; subscription() widens the max delay and consumer() configures the skip.
• Adoption: moq-audio, moq-c, moq-ffi's raw consumer, and moq-gst's moqsrc build through Playout; moq-video uses a zero warmup because its max-delay lane already tolerates it.
• FFI: MoqAudio and MoqVideo gain an optional warmup; convert_catalog carries it; MoqMediaTrackConsumer::subscribe widens its subscription. The decoding consumers' audio_config and video_config carry it too.
• Bindings: Go, Dart, Kotlin, Swift, and Python expose the field; Go refuses a negative warmup; the Dart bindings were regenerated.
• Docs/migration: MIGRATE.md entries for moq-mux, moq-ffi, and the bindings; the quest file is deleted.

ℹ️ A stale with_warmup tip in the same Unreleased section

The new entry at the top says with_warmup is gone, but the older "A Delay sets where a consumer starts" entry still tells users to "Call with_warmup before with_delay." A user upgrading through both entries gets contradictory instructions.

Technical details

# Stale with_warmup advice in MIGRATE.md

## Affected sites
- `rs/moq-mux/MIGRATE.md:65` — "plus any `with_warmup`"
- `rs/moq-mux/MIGRATE.md:66` — "Call `with_warmup` before `with_delay`."

## Required outcome
- The older Unreleased entry no longer tells users to call the removed `with_warmup`; point at `container::Playout` or drop the ordering sentence.

P2: Reapply the Opus warmup after a skipped interval — rs/moq-gst/src/source/imp.rs:1762-1776, 2003-2017. The new clip counter is created once per play, while Read::Gap is ignored. After the initial warmup has been consumed (or group 0 clears it), a later skipped group leaves the counter at zero, so the first packets after that gap reach opusdec without clipping metadata for the catalog warmup. The resumed warmup samples can therefore reach the sink instead of being withheld while the decoder primes. The matching moq-audio consumer rearms warmup after a gap and its warmup_restarts_after_an_undeclared_gap test covers that behavior. Handle the discontinuity and re-prime the post-gap interval as appropriate for the decoder, and add a moqsrc regression with a nonzero Opus warmup and a gap after initial playback.

The first-packet exemption avoids clipping catalog warmup when a play begins at group 0; the new tests cover that boundary. This finding concerns the subsequent gap, not a claim that the update introduced all pre-existing gap handling behavior.

Verification: GitHub-only static trace of the new clip, container and audio paths and decoder clipping contract, with an independent pass. I did not run GStreamer, decode audio or reproduce the gap on a live stream.

Reviewed changes

This run re-reviewed the commits since the prior Pullfrog review (229a6bd77): the moqsrc Opus warmup clip, its tests, and the extended raw FFI warmup test.

• Opus warmup clip: moqsrc now clips the catalog warmup from decoded Opus output after the OpusHead pre-skip, via GstAudioClippingMeta, while every packet still primes the decoder and keeps its place on the shared timeline; a play from group 0 clears the warmup.
• Track-start rule: OpusClip::track_start mirrors moq-audio's rule, so only a play starting at the encoder's first packet skips the warmup clip.
• Unit coverage: a new test covers bare and OpusHead caps across both a join and a group-0 start, asserting clipped sample counts and shifted PTS.
• Raw FFI test: raw_media_catalog_warmup_reaches_the_subscription now reads through the consumer and asserts the start waits for a group covering the min delay plus the warmup.
• Warmup update test: a new moqsrc test covers a warmup-only catalog update keeping the current reader and passing the new warmup to the next one.

Both earlier documentation threads were addressed in f3ccdf85; no new issues.

Reviewed changes

This run re-reviewed the doc-only commit since the last Pullfrog review (42fc76d): the three documentation nits from the prior review.

• moq-mux MIGRATE: the older delay entry no longer tells users to call the removed with_warmup; it now points at container::Playout for a rendition with a catalog warmup.
• Playout::consumer doc: now says a track subscribed otherwise has its subscription set to that delay, widened or narrowed, matching set_delay.
• moq-video comment: reworded from the old with_warmup carve-out to explain that passing the catalog warmup would count it twice, on the subscription and in the start's reach.

Both earlier review threads are resolved.
