Plans a layers epic in m3. Its three quests let moq's players play a layered broadcast, which moq-dev/studio needs. The studio side is moq-dev/studio#114.

Changes

  • quest/m3/layers/README.md: the epic. Its own work is a shared fixture proving moq play and @moq/watch place and time layers the same way.
  • spec.md [M]: hang's draft, rs/hang, and js/hang define a versioned layer layout track. It waits on moq-dev/studio's moq-studio --watch prototype, whose provisional format it starts from.
  • play.md [M]: moq play composites layers over the main picture and mixes their audio.
  • watch.md [M]: @moq/watch does the same, with viewer toggles.

Decisions

Settled with the maintainer in moq-dev/studio /quest-plan on 2026-11-08:

  • The studio publishes the program plus independent sources, and players layer them (rejected: viewers rebuilding the full scene).
  • ✅ Extend the hang spec, and each player implements it with its own code (rejected: moving the studio's moq-scene into moq, which would make moq depend on studio code).
  • ✅ The spec starts after the studio prototype settles the format (rejected: in parallel).
  • ✅ m3 (rejected: matching the studio's m2; m5).

Validation

  • quest check: 592 documents ok.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head d750503. No actionable findings.

Checked the five quest files and their dependencies against the companion studio plan. Prototype → shared specification → player implementations → studio adoption avoids a dependency cycle; placement/timing parity is explicitly assigned to the shared fixture, and unsupported layout versions retain main-picture fallback. No implementation or wire change is claimed here.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the plans and relevant hang snapshot semantics. No tests, player integration, or media timing checks run.

ℹ️ Minor suggestions only — the plan and its cross-repo edges check out; two scheduling details are worth tightening.

Reviewed changes

  • quest/m3/README.md — lists the new layered-broadcast epic.
  • quest/m3/layers/README.md — the epic, its settled decisions, and the shared-fixture validation.
  • quest/m3/layers/spec.md — hang's versioned layer-layout track, gated on moq-dev/studio's prototype.
  • quest/m3/layers/play.md and watch.md — the two player implementations, each requiring the spec.

ℹ️ The studio wait check passes before the prototype exists

quest/m3/layers/spec.md:20-23 clears its wait when quest/m2/compose/watch.md is absent from studio's main, but that file is added by the still-open moq-dev/studio#114 and has never existed on main. A later /quest-unblock run that probes the path gets a 404 and can clear the wait before the format is settled, which is the one ordering the recorded decision forbids.

Technical details
# Make the studio wait checkable without false positives

## Affected sites
- `quest/m3/layers/spec.md:20-23` — the waiting item and its `Check:` clause

## Required outcome
- Absent-because-never-merged and absent-because-completed must not look alike to a later run.

## Suggested approach
- Mirror studio's `quest/m2/compose/hang-layers.md`: wait on the artifact (`dev.moq.studio.layers` published, `--watch` removed) or on the merge of the PR that completes `quest/m2/compose/watch.md`, and state that a moved or vanished file without its work landing does not count.

ℹ️ The shared fixture has no owning quest

quest/m3/layers/README.md:12-15 makes the fixture the epic's own work, while play.md:13 and watch.md:14-15 both prove against it. quest's requires() puts an epic after its children, so neither player has the artifact when it starts, and the tolerance the comparison uses is never stated.

Technical details
# Give the shared fixture an owner

## Affected sites
- `quest/m3/layers/README.md:12-15` — the fixture is the epic's own work
- `quest/m3/layers/play.md:13` — proves against "the epic's fixture"
- `quest/m3/layers/watch.md:14-15` — same, matching `moq play` "within its tolerance"

## Required outcome
- A player quest can start and finish without improvising the fixture, and the parity tolerance is a value a reviewer can check.

## Suggested approach
- Build the fixture in `spec.md` (it exercises the format that quest defines) or add a small leaf quest for it, and add that quest to both players' `## Required`.
- State the placement and timing tolerance once, in the owner quest or the epic Plan.

Explain Change →

Walkthrough

The changes add documentation for layered broadcasts. The documents describe a versioned layer-layout track, planned video compositing and audio mixing in moq play and @moq/watch, and fallback behavior for broadcasts without a layout track. They also record implementation plans, validation criteria, and project scope.

Merge Risk: Low · up to d7505

This documentation-only change is mergeable with follow-up to preserve base sound in fallback playback and fetch audible layers independently of visibility. No current playback behavior changes.

Explanation

The title names the main change: it plans layered broadcasts across hang, moq play, and @moq/watch. The raw summary and objectives confirm the PR adds quest plan documents for an m3 layers epic that covers these components. The title is specific and concise, and it matches the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states that the PR plans an m3 layers epic with three quests for playing layered broadcasts. It lists each changed file and records the design decisions and validation (quest check, 592 documents ok). It relates directly to the changeset, so it passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. 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 0 functions across 0 files.

Fetch audible layers independently of visibility.

A hidden layer can still have unmuted audio. Fetching only visible layers can omit that audio, even though the goal requires mixing it. Select audio by gain and mute independently of picture visibility, and align the @moq/watch plan.

Preserve main audio in the unknown-version fallback.

When a player encounters an unknown layout version, this wording can lead it to play silent video. The epic defines the base broadcast as picture and sound. Specify that the fallback plays both without layers.
