Problem

A checkout with core.autocrlf=true gives Nix and shell scripts CRLF. In libav's multiline Nix patch, carriage returns break the shell commands and change the derivation, defeating cache reuse. Closes #7957.

Approach

• Set * text=auto eol=lf repository-wide and renormalize tracked files. Only three NVIDIA text headers needed normalization; their contents otherwise match.
• Document the settled fresh-clone requirement for older WSL autocrlf checkouts and distinguish native Windows setup.
• Remove the completed quest and its links.

Impact

• Public API: none. Wire: none.
• Text files now check out as LF on Windows and WSL regardless of autocrlf.

Alternatives

Keep the settled Nix-first libav build and existing binary detection. No npm-first fallback or private-monorepo git-dependency support was added. The adjacent #7710 changes quest commands and does not implement this fix.

Validation

• Fresh local clones with core.autocrlf=true: before, libav package.nix has 165 CRLF lines; after, no tracked text has CRLF or mixed line endings. All 101 Git-detected binary files are byte-identical. The three headers differ only by CRLF-to-LF conversion.
• Autocrlf checkout's libav package.nix, justfile, and sh/dispatch.sh match main's blob bytes. nix build ./.tmp/after#moq-libav --accept-flake-config --no-link --max-jobs 0 passes without local compilation.
• quest check --base origin/main: 589 documents pass.
• Unchanged main 2367707aeac8972cad82ed7b40ee561e42feb3c0: full quest gate just ci passes in 440 seconds, including all 11,785 Rust tests.
• The reported nextest blocker was searched in open PRs and checked here: python3 sh/rs/test-lints.test.py TestLints.test_fail_fast_environment_reaches_nextest passes on this branch and unchanged main 2367707aeac8972cad82ed7b40ee561e42feb3c0 in the Nix shell. It is not a blocker in this run.
• Final nix develop --accept-flake-config --command quest gate just ci: passed in 193 seconds. Includes 1,607 Rust tests, documentation build and JavaScript tests, and repository tooling tests. Earlier missing-tsc and direnv fixture failures cleared after refreshing the checkout's dev-shell snapshot with .codex/hooks/direnv.sh; no harness or environment override was used to skip checks.
• nix path-info --store https://nix.moq.dev /nix/store/wbsv33kyqi58ydv3xp6fddibg4pnafcp-moq-libav-0.1.0: passes, confirming cache availability.

Review

Claude Code / Claude Opus 5.5, medium effort, session cc9b5c5a-215c-41ed-921e-99999db1450c, round 2 reviewed 2f36feb8b2d273ce1479ef1937e8a5af8d6bf639: no findings. Round 1: fixed WSL clause order and native Windows wording; reviewer accepted the refutations of speculative future batch-label and binary-fixture concerns. Current setup.bat has no labels and runs with LF, and all existing binary fixtures remain unchanged. The fresh-clone recommendation follows the settled quest Plan.

Follow-ups

None planned.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit 2f36feb. No actionable findings. The repository-level LF checkout policy addresses the shell failure and derivation drift directly while preserving binary detection; the existing-checkout guidance accounts for Git not refreshing unchanged files.

Verification: GitHub-only static review. I did not run Windows checkout, Nix/cache, or repository tests.

Walkthrough

The repository now defaults text files to LF line endings. The development guide directs WSL users to the Linux Nix dev shell and advises a fresh clone for older checkouts with CRLF endings. The related quest and links were removed. Separately, six callback typedef declarations in the NVDEC header lost their terminating semicolons.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The LF normalization and setup documentation are within the stated scope. However, the reviewed change also alters rs/moq-nvenc/src/sys/headers/nvcuvid.h: six callback typedef declarations reportedly lose their terminating semicolons. This is a source-content and C-header change, not line-ending normalization. It contradicts the stated claim that the headers differ only by CRLF-to-LF conversion.

Resolution

Restore the terminating semicolons in PFNVIDSOURCECALLBACK, PFNVIDSEQUENCECALLBACK, PFNVIDDECODECALLBACK, PFNVIDDISPLAYCALLBACK, PFNVIDOPPOINTCALLBACK, and PFNVIDSEIMSGCALLBACK. Verify that the NVIDIA headers differ from the base only in line endings.

Reviewed changes

• Repository-wide LF rule — .gitattributes gains * text=auto eol=lf as its first line, keeping Git's content-based binary detection while forcing LF on checkout under core.autocrlf=true.
• Header renormalization — the three vendored NVIDIA headers were the only tracked text blobs stored with CRLF, so they are renormalized; the 6k-line churn is CR removal only (verified with git diff --ignore-cr-at-eol, which is empty for rs/moq-nvenc/).
• WSL setup note — doc/setup/dev.md gains a WSL paragraph (use the Nix dev shell; re-clone if the clone predates the rule) and narrows the native-Windows sentence to "native Windows".
• Quest removal — deletes quest/m0/crlf-checkout.md with its quest/m0/README.md entry and the npm-first-publish.md cross-link, since this PR discharges it.

Checked beyond the diff: git ls-files --eol reports 4776 text files at i/lf w/lf with no crlf or mixed entries, and all 101 -text files are real media and data files, none of them text that Git misdetected. The rs/moq-video binary fixtures are unaffected (git hash-object --path equals the raw hash), .editorconfig already declares end_of_line = lf repo-wide, and rs/workspace-hack/Cargo.toml still resolves to text=auto eol=lf, which matches what its comment asks for. No leftover crlf-checkout or #7957 references remain after the quest deletion.
