Problem

Pre-encoded C publishers could not disable simulcast rungs, order them below their lower renditions, or apply the shared rate policy to a bandwidth reservation.

Approach

Expose the existing importer toggle and shared rate controller through media and rate-control handles. Publish renditions lowest first; moq_video_init.lower assigns the higher rendition one priority below its lower handle. Add media reservations and an explicit rate target for external encoders. Each control binds one reservation at creation and retains its consumer, so per-frame updates allocate nothing. Delete the completed quest and its links.

Merged the earlier local attempt with this PR's claim commit, without rebasing. Main already contains its audio enablement query, snapshot/resume and relay-hop tests, C fixture, and documentation. Main removed caller-supplied epochs, superseding the older epoch-error change. Kept those commits in ancestry and main's final implementations; carried forward no obsolete epoch code or stale validation blockers. The other worktree was left untouched; the branch blocker is resolved.

Impact

• Breaking C ABI: moq_video_init gains lower. Rebuild callers against the regenerated moq.h and matching library; zero-initialize the struct and use 0 for no lower rendition.
• moq_publish_media_set_enabled advertises video enablement and marks disable discontinuities; resume on a keyframe. Audio retains the shared importer's refusal.
• moq_allocator_reserve_media reserves bandwidth for pre-encoded media.
• moq_rate_policy, moq_rate_target, and moq_rate_control_{create,target,update,close} expose the shared reservation-driven policy. Create binds a reservation; update returns 1 for a changed target and 0 to hold. Controls own neither media nor reservations; closing a reservation holds the last target.
• Wire: unchanged. No deployment, publication, release, workflow dispatch, production, account, repository-setting, or ruleset action is needed.

Alternatives

Reuse the shared importer and rate controller instead of duplicating their policy in the C binding. Chose independent control and reservation handles, matching moq-ffi ownership and allowing external encoders to apply targets on their frame loop.

Validation

• quest check --base origin/main: passed.
• quest gate cargo test -p moq-c --lib: initial run 177 passed, 1 ignored; after review, targeted rate-control tests passed. Final just ci ran all 178 tests with 1 skipped, including pre-encoded rung priority, catalog toggle, media reservation, and probing disable/recovery coverage.
• quest gate just rs c-tests: passed against regenerated moq.h and libmoq.a, including the new rate-control C fixture.
• quest gate just ci: passed on the final committed source after review fixes (225 seconds).
• Known pre-existing host failures supplied by the coordinator: full just check can fail CARLA sim/python.test.sh from inherited PYTHONPATH; check flake can fail Nix user-namespace mapping. Both reproduce on unchanged main. No harness or environment workaround applied.

Review

Final head 6a70a114b6a65c17811d451f073ce4ca75b127bf (merges origin/main d2a7eadc2b): Codex gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, reviewed against origin/main and returned no findings. quest gate just ci origin/main passed on this head.

Earlier rounds (Claude Code, claude-opus-5-5) reviewed 0259171f38 with no findings after fixing reservation binding, per-frame allocations, and probing disable/recovery coverage.

Automated threads on 0259171f38, both fixed:

• pullfrog: moq_rate_control_update returned 1 for a change, breaking the 0-on-success convention. It now returns 0 and reports the change through a new moq_rate_target.changed field.
• coderabbit: moq_rate_control_create accepted max_bps == 0. It now returns MOQ_ERROR_INVALID_CONFIG, and the test covers it.

Follow-ups

Investigate the inherited CARLA Python environment and Nix user-namespace host failures separately if no open fix already covers them. Clarify or fix quest review: the workflow asks for --new after a design change, but the CLI rejects combining it with required --responses. No new quest created here.

Design change: bind each C rate control to a reservation at creation, retaining its consumer for the control lifetime. Per-frame update no longer accepts a reservation or allocates a consumer. Keep the explicit shared rate policy for external encoders, matching moq-ffi; media lower handles describe delivery priority while policy lower_bps describes encoder operating points.

Reviewed changes

• Pre-encoded rung ordering: moq_video_init.lower sets the new track's VideoInit.priority one below the referenced media handle's (saturating), with each media handle's priority kept on a new Media wrapper.
• Enablement toggle: moq_publish_media_set_enabled exposes the shared importer's set_enabled for pre-encoded video, including the disable discontinuity.
• Media reservations: moq_allocator_reserve_media reserves against a media handle's demand, mirroring moq_allocator_reserve for raw track handles.
• Rate control: moq_rate_policy / moq_rate_target plus moq_rate_control_{create,target,update,close}, bound to one reservation at creation so per-frame updates allocate nothing.
• Docs, migration and tests: README section, MIGRATE.md ABI note, doc/lib/c prose, a C ABI fixture, and Rust coverage of rung priority, catalog toggle, reservation and the probing disable/recover transitions.

Walkthrough

The C API adds linked video rendition priorities and media enablement. It also adds media reservations and rate-control operations for obtaining and updating bitrate targets. Tests cover rendition ordering, enablement, rate-control behavior, and invalid handles. Documentation describes publishing, migration, and resource closure. The planning document and its README link were removed.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 02591

The new APIs are mergeable with a bounded configuration caveat: a zero maximum bitrate creates an enabled control reporting zero bitrate. Rejecting that configuration and adding the suggested success-path coverage would improve confidence.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(c)!: expose pre-encoded simulcast rate control" matches the main change. The changeset adds C APIs for pre-encoded simulcast: the lower-rendition priority field on moq_video_init, media enablement toggling, media reservations, and rate-control create/target/update/close functions. The breaking marker (!) fits the documented C ABI change to moq_video_init. The title is concise and specific, and it omits no major part of the change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 62.50% which is insufficient. 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 8 functions across 5 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Add a frame-level check to the enablement section of the pre-encoded test.

The test toggles moq_publish_media_set_enabled(high, ...) and checks only the catalog enabled flags. It never writes a frame after disabling, so it cannot detect a rung that keeps publishing while disabled or resumes on a non-keyframe. The importer gate that enforces this is covered by importer-level tests, not by a C-level test. Add a C-level check that frames written after disable are not delivered and that resume waits for a keyframe.

Add a successful rate-control case to the C test.

rate-control.c calls each rate-control function with handle 0, so no call reaches the success path. The C test never checks a moq_rate_target value that the library writes. Add a case that creates a control on a live reservation, then checks the returned enabled and bitrate_bps fields. This tests the C layout of moq_rate_policy and moq_rate_target on the success path, which the breaking C ABI change affects.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed the commit since the previous pullfrog review (0259171f3 → 6a70a11), which fixes the return-code convention and merges origin/main.

• Rate-change reporting: moq_rate_control_update now returns 0 or a negative error only, and reports a retune through the new moq_rate_target.changed field; a hold writes only that field.
• Policy validation: moq_rate_control_create rejects max_bps == 0 with MOQ_ERROR_INVALID_CONFIG before binding a reservation.
• Docs and tests: The README section describes the new contract, and the Rust test asserts changed across target/update cycles plus the zero-policy rejection.

Findings: No new actionable correctness issues found. The two earlier findings are fixed: updates now return zero and report changes through target.changed; zero max_bps is rejected before creating a control.

Direction: Reusing the shared importer and rate policy, binding each control to one reservation, and documenting the C ABI rebuild requirement look sound.

Verification limits: GitHub-only inspection of the changed code, shared implementations, tests and prior discussions. I did not run tests or regenerate the C header. The latest Check workflow is still running; this is not CI or merge-readiness confirmation.
