Push-to-talk's press-to-audible latency fits a budget on the defaults - #8009
This PR lands the part of the quest that doesn't depend on Watch. The rest of the quest now requires Watch.
just test push-to-talk keeps its fixed 300 ms delay and 60 ms / 128 kbit/s Opus until Watch lands, so the nightly no-underrun check stays green. The page's only change is that it now records the resolved delay.
The page records the resolved delay over time (delays). Each press's jitter_buffer part now ends at the first PCM that reaches the target the ring held when that PCM landed, not the final state's delay. summary.json reports that target per press as delay, and summarizes it. Under a fixed delay this is constant, and once the page switches to "auto" the analyzer is already correct.
The test README now notes that render can go negative by up to one render callback, and device grows by the same amount. This happens on hosts with large callbacks: the onset is placed on the render clock, which runs a callback ahead (Linux's minimum was -37 ms against a 43 ms callback). The parts still sum exactly.
The quest is rewritten to what remains: switch the page to delay: "auto", measure again on kixtop, and set and enforce the budget. It lists Watch under ## Required and keeps the 2026-11-05 default-path measurement below as the baseline. The Push-to-talk epic now names the proof's settings (default Opus, 300 ms delay) and points its fixed-delay breakdown at moq-dev/moq#7760.
Default-path measurement, 2026-11-05, before Watch (medians and maxes in ms over the separated presses):

Decisions
Decided 2026-11-06 (maintainer, in /quest-complete): just test push-to-talk's no-underrun check fails on the defaults by design until Watch time-stretches the ring. How should it run until then?
✅ (a) Require Watch for this quest. Revert this PR's page to the fixed 300 ms delay for now, add Watch to the quest's ## Required, and budget the defaults after Watch lands. Land what doesn't depend on it, such as the analyzer's delay timeline, so the nightly check stays green.
(b) Run the defaults now and stop failing on underruns while "auto" is on.
(c) Run both rows, roughly doubling the nine-minute nightly step.
Choices made without asking
I also restored the 60 ms / 128 kbit/s Opus override, not just the delay, so the page runs exactly the setup the nightly passes on. I tried the default 20 ms Opus at 300 ms first: no underrun or stall, but it lost 2 of 22 heads on this host. A 60 ms run on the same loaded host lost 1, so it's unclear whether 20 ms frames make the ordering defect more frequent. The quest records both runs, and its remaining work switches to the defaults.
The 2026-11-05 run measured on kixtop with the harness as it ships: headless Chromium, which Playwright launches with --mute-audio, plus a fake microphone. device is therefore Chromium's projected output for the MacBook Air speakers, and capture excludes the microphone's own input latency.
summary.json's delay changed from the final state's single value to a min/median/max over the presses.
Public API
None. The change is limited to the test harness and docs. No wire impact.
Validation
bun test test/audio-quality/clients/js/ptt-analyze.test.ts: 9 pass, including a new case where the target rises before the delay fills.
just check origin/main: pass, all modules (including test gh).
quest check --base origin/main: pass.
just test push-to-talk on the Linux agent host (load average about 18), 2026-11-06: fails on both setups with "utterance head was not decoded". With 20 ms Opus it lost 2 heads, and with this PR's final 60 ms Opus it lost 1. Both runs had 0 underruns and 0 stalls, and delay was 300 / 300 / 300. The nightly's Push-to-talk step passes on main with the same 60 ms setup (run 42236107954). The lost head is the ordering defect the Push-to-talk epic owns, and this PR doesn't touch the media path.
Suggested follow-ups
None. The lost heads seen on Linux are already owned by Push-to-talk.
Review
Codex (gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort) via quest review --base origin/main, round 2 on head 9e32a43372dcebe7dd3c54d4d60911685223a521: no findings. Round 1 on 6c055e1c441353d84d2ae13c82f87a2a444b5299 also had no findings.
Drop the fixed 300 ms delay and 60 ms Opus from just test push-to-talk, so
it measures what a listener gets by default. Record the resolved playout
delay over time, since "auto" moves it, and split each press's jitter
buffer at the target the ring held when its PCM landed.

Measured on kixtop (macOS) and Linux: the defaults reach the render onset in
about 70 ms, but "auto" underruns push-to-talk on both, so the budget waits
on a maintainer decision about Watch.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)
Reviewed head 9e32a43372dcebe7dd3c54d4d60911685223a521 against base 5d1d18b1a1a7e1ad892d589fbc238d7ec456062f.
No actionable findings in the six-file diff. I checked the delay recording and reset snapshot, the analyzer's per-frame target lookup and summary, the added regression test, and the surrounding playback/driver code. The page still uses the existing 300 ms delay and 60 ms / 128 kbit/s Opus settings; this change does not alter the media path.
Direction: the instrumentation-first scope is reasonable. Keep the default-path budget and its enforcement open until Watch and the follow-up measurement are complete, as the revised quest does. This review does not establish that the latency budget has been met.
Validation limits: GitHub source review only; I did not run tests or reproduce the device measurements. The head's Quest check passed, while Check was still running when inspected. The PR reports passing analyzer tests and local checks, but also reports lost utterance heads in its Linux end-to-end runs. Those results are not independently reproduced here, and this is not a clean end-to-end or merge-readiness certification.
The PTT measurement now records timestamped playout delay updates. The analyzer uses the delay in effect when a decoded frame fills the jitter buffer to report per-press delay and delay statistics. Tests cover delay changes during a press, and the audio-quality documentation describes the delay metrics. The latency report adds default-path measurements, test outcomes, and measurement limitations. It also links Watch as a requirement.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 9e32a
The change is mergeable with bounded follow-up: older saved runs can fail analysis, and variable-delay reports can misstate timing boundaries or compare different press populations. These issues affect measurement reporting rather than playback.

Move the target rise after the press.
The current test also passes if the analyzer uses the target at press time for every frame. Move the rise after the first decode so the path assertions detect that regression.
Suggested fix

Handle saved runs without delay events.
When a saved run predates the delay timeline, the analyzer throws before writing summary.json. For those runs, use state.delay as the fixed delay, as the previous analyzer did.

Use the ring’s resume time for the latency breakdown.
If the automatic target drops below the buffered PCM, the ring can resume before another decode. The analyzer instead selects a later frame or returns a null path, misreporting jitter_buffer and render. Record the resume boundary and use it for the breakdown.

Reviewed changes
Page records the resolved delay over time.src/ptt.ts subscribes to watch.player.sync.out.delay and appends {at, delay} to a new delays timeline, which reset() clears and seeds with the current value. It rides records into presses.json with no change to the media path.
The analyzer fills against the target in effect at each frame.ptt-analyze.ts gained delayAt(at) (findLast over the timeline), and filled now checks every decoded frame against delayAt(frame.at) instead of the run's final state.delay; path bails on a missing filled, and summary.delay becomes a min/median/max of the per-press target. This matches the ring's per-write length >= latencySamples check (js/watch/src/audio/ring-buffer.ts, buffer.ts#setLatency), since decoded.at and delays.at share the page clock.
Coverage for the rising target. The fixture moves to a delays timeline, and a new test raises the target one frame at the press, asserting the sixth frame fills it (jitter_buffer 5 frames, delay 360).
Docs and quest re-scope. The test README defines jitter_buffer against the in-effect delay and documents the render-clock limit behind a negative render; the latency quest now records the 2026-11-05 defaults baseline, the 2026-11-06 decision to require Watch, and keeps the fixed 300 ms / 60 ms Opus run until then; the epic points the fixed-delay breakdown at #7760.
Verified locally: bun test test/audio-quality/clients/js/ptt-analyze.test.ts (9 pass), tsc --noEmit -p test/audio-quality/clients/js, and remark on the changed README. The new timeline path is only exercised by the unit test until the page switches to "auto", which the quest already tracks.
