Adds moq-dev/studio#93's evidence to quest/m3/bus-positioned-write.md: after a silence the studio's playout::Writer can't tell how much its channel holds, so a first write lands up to one block (10 ms) early; broadcast and media sources both hit it. One plan owns the fix, with no interim accessor.

Decisions

• ✅ Fold into positioned-write (maintainer, 2026-11-07, /quest-complete). Rejected: an interim bus-position accessor quest; deleting the plan. The earlier quest/m3/audio-channel-fill.md and its README link are dropped.

Reviewed head 3701b2b.

No actionable findings in this planning-only change. A read-only channel fill/position query is a reasonable direction: Channel currently exposes writing and strip controls but no queued-frame or next-mix position information. The plan leaves the API choice open while requiring a sample-exact first-write-after-silence test.

Verification: GitHub-only static review of the quest and current bus/channel implementation. I did not reproduce the reported Studio timing issue or test an implementation; no implementation is included here.

Walkthrough

The m3 Required list now includes the “A bus channel reports what it holds” quest. A planning document describes a proposed read-only moq_audio::bus::Channel API, a first-write timing issue after silence, and a test for whether the write is mixed at its intended sample. The changes do not include implementation or wiring.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 3701b

This PR adds planning documentation only. The plan should include the studio writer update and safe placement across bus advancement; otherwise, implementing it as written may leave audio timing incorrect. Merge risk is bounded to those planning gaps.

- Line 23: Update the Channel placement plan so writing padding and samples
remains coordinated with bus advancement; prevent a writer from appending
padding using a stale position after the bus moves. Add a test that interleaves
position reading with bus advancement and verifies the sample is not placed one
block late, while preserving the stated read-only public API addition and no
wire changes.
- Around line 19-21: Update playout::Writer so it places the first write after
silence at its intended sample, using a fill count or bus position as
appropriate; verify placement with a test that exercises the writer between bus
advances, rather than relying only on a Channel accessor or synthetic placement
test.

Important

The plan leaves the API shape open, and the fill-count option it offers cannot fix the case it is meant to fix. One branch also contradicts quest/m3/bus-positioned-write.md.

Reviewed changes

• New m3 quest — quest/m3/audio-channel-fill.md [S] plans a read-only moq_audio::bus::Channel addition so the studio's playout::Writer can place a first write after silence to the sample.
• README link — quest/m3/README.md lists the quest beside the other studio-driven audio quests.

Maintainer decision (2026-11-07, /quest-complete): ✅ fold into positioned-write. Dropped quest/m3/audio-channel-fill.md and its m3 README link; studio#93's evidence now lives in quest/m3/bus-positioned-write.md. Rejected: an interim bus-position accessor quest; deleting the plan.

Reviewed head 6be4734.

No actionable findings in the revised plan. Folding the first-write-after-silence case into positioned writes removes the competing accessor proposal reviewed earlier. Bus-owned placement is the better direction: a caller-side fill/position query alone would still leave placement racing bus advancement. The surviving quest retains explicit handling for already-mixed/out-of-headroom positions and now requires the sample-exact silence-to-write regression.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the revised quest and bus/channel paths. This is planning, not an implemented timing fix; I did not reproduce Studio's reported error or run audio tests.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

• Folded studio#93 into the positioned-write quest — quest/m3/bus-positioned-write.md now records that after a silence playout::Writer cannot tell how much its channel holds, so a first write can land up to one block (10 ms) early for broadcast and media sources, and requires a test that the first write after silence is mixed at its intended sample.
• Recorded the decision — a ✅ bullet folds studio#93's case into this quest, rejecting an interim bus-position accessor quest and dropping the plan.
• Dropped the interim quest — the earlier quest/m3/audio-channel-fill.md and its quest/m3/README.md entry are removed, leaving one plan and no stale references.

Technical details

# Prior findings retired by scope change

## Affected sites
- `quest/m3/audio-channel-fill.md` — deleted; both prior inline threads anchored here
- `quest/m3/bus-positioned-write.md:25-32` — carries the studio#93 evidence and the fold decision

## Required outcome
- None; recorded for continuity. The dropped file's fill-count concern no longer
  applies because the remaining plan is a positioned write, which can place a
  first write after silence without knowing the channel's current depth.
