feat(moq-audio,moq-cli,watch): players report their own trimmed and accelerated audio - #8308
Both players now report their own skips, trimmed audio, and accelerated audio, so the native calibration can budget trims alone instead of the analyzer's skip_aheads/discarded_ms, which count the inaudible accelerate as discarded audio. The maintainer chose this (comment). The browser stretch (moq-dev/moq#8058) landed during this iteration with a browser-only player_skips count, so the native player now reports that count too, and the browser reports the two amounts.
moq_audio::playback::Observation gains skips, trimmed (the ring's capacity-watermark trim, less its opening silence and comfort noise), and accelerated (pitch periods the stretch removed), summed over the sinks being written and counted on the audio thread with plain atomics, like comfort.
moq play --metrics adds what it discards before the ring: the incoming excess skipped at the stretch's fast threshold, and frames a full sink refused. Each run of consecutive trimmed frames is one skip. It writes playerSkips, trimmed, and accelerated on every line.
@moq/watchaudio.out.stats gains trimmed and accelerated beside skips, both in media time: a skip counts everything it passes, the unplayed staged window and the front of an incoming chunk included, less declared silence.
The harness Sample gains trimmed and accelerated, and playerSkips is now native too. The analyzer reduces them to trimmed_ms_{total,per_min} and accelerated_ms_{total,per_min}, the README documents them, and the browser page, replays, and moq play all emit them.
Budgets are unchanged, and the replay rows still pass under --enforce. The native calibration (quest) swaps the native skip_aheads_per_min and discarded_ms_per_min for player_skips_per_min and trimmed_ms_per_min. Browser ceilings' plan now suggests budgeting trimmed_ms_per_min the same way.
Grading the first four nights (2026-11-05 to 11-08, tables below) found zero underruns on 11 of 12 native rows every night. Opus step had one 22 to 44 ms gap at the 29.6 s network step, a late arrival no stretch can cover without concealment. Every native skip-ahead the analyzer reported was the accelerate shedding a lowered target or a startup overfill, which prompted the decision above. The nightly bench-playback passed all four nights at 16 to 43% stretch cost per callback; its worst cell is 1.02 ms of a 42.7 ms period.
✅ moq play --metrics reports its own trimmed and accelerated audio, and the calibration budgets trims alone (rejected: keep budgeting accelerates as discarded_ms).
✅ The nightly runner's bench-playback counts as the quiet-host run (rejected: naming another host).
Recorded 2026-11-09 by the maintainer at the round-3 design checkpoint ("count media time"):
✅ The browser's trimmed and accelerated measure the media the player dropped or sped through, gap zeros included, leaving out only opening silence, declared silence, and comfort noise, as native already does (rejected: exact per-window tracking of received samples through the stretch's crossfaded windows; dropping the browser counters). The two runtimes match by construction, and the ring's per-slot received marks go away. A trim or accelerate through a network gap counts that gap.
Made here:
✅ Land the counters in this PR and leave the seven-night calibration in the quest (rejected: a separate quest for the metric, with this PR waiting on it). The nightly only measures main, so the counters must merge before any night can calibrate them, and the repo prefers the exhaustive PR.
✅ Report the browser's existing skip count natively too, and budget player_skips_per_min with trimmed_ms_per_min (rejected: an amount without a count). It mirrors the analyzer's count/amount pair it replaces, and moq-dev/moq#8058's browser calibration already budgets player_skips.
✅ The calibration measures every native key from the seven new nights (rejected: mixing the four graded nights for the old keys with new nights for the new ones). One set of artifacts, one rule.
✅ Keep the provisional native skip_aheads/discarded_ms ceilings until that calibration (rejected: drop them now). Native rows run report-only, and loosening without a measurement is what the budgets note forbids.
Choices made without asking
What counts as a trim: audio the playback path discards from a continuous timeline to bound its delay. Media the subscription skipped before decoding (a group past its age budget, which reaches the player as a timeline gap) is not a trim, and neither is the queue of a native sink replaced at a rewind or a hole past the age budget, since that queue can hold unplayed opening silence. Both re-anchor the timeline, and the analyzer's skip_aheads still reports them. A test burst confirmed the subscription, not the player, drops stale groups.
One native skip per ring trim, and per run of consecutive frames the CLI trimmed, matching the browser's one per jump.
Sinks' counts sum rather than take the maximum (unlike comfort, which is device time): they are amounts of media thrown away.
Not added to the publisher feedback tally (Counter): nothing upstream consumes trims.
Counted Opus step's single gap at the network step as a transient, not a steady-state underrun: the target had settled and the network moved under it.
moq play --metrics lines gain playerSkips, trimmed, and, with a speaker open, accelerated.
Validation
At head 1d265408bc (after merging origin/main): just check passed through quest gate, and bun test in js/watch/src/audio passes 262, with trimmed cases for a re-anchor through the staged window, a gap's zeros counted as media, and a declared silence left out.
Earlier, at 3620ea8baa: cargo test -p moq-audio --features playback --lib 319 passed; cargo test -p moq-cli --features play -- play:: 79 passed and 1 failed only on a host without the openh264 software encoder (a_wide_delay_observes_the_whole_tune_in_burst, no audio involved); just test audio-quality --replays --enforce within budget.
Review: rounds 1 to 3 found browser and native trim-count bugs (fixed) and, at round 3, two medium findings on received-sample provenance in the browser ring, settled by the media-time decision above.
Follow-ups
None to plan. The calibration remains in the quest.

feat(moq-audio,moq-cli,watch): players report their own trimmed and accelerated audio
Nov 9, 2026
The trim count missed the front of an incoming chunk the playhead skipped

it holds received audio.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Checked native trim/accelerate accounting, exclusion of ring startup padding and resume cushions, per-sink aggregation, CLI pre-ring skip/drop units, and cumulative totals across speaker changes. Browser received-slot accounting excludes gap zeros and includes skipped incoming audio; worklet, decoder, replay, probe, analyzer and grading agree on cumulative milliseconds. Existing budgets remain unchanged pending the planned seven-night calibration.
Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the full diff and relevant source. No builds, tests, profiling, listening tests, or independent validation of reported nightly measurements performed. Current merge conflicts and their eventual resolution are not validated.
Browser and native audio paths now track cumulative media trimmed by skips and media removed by faster playback. The playback CLI records trim events and includes the new measurements in metric samples. The audio-quality harness calculates and displays trimmed and accelerated totals and per-minute values. Documentation and calibration plans describe the metric definitions and updated nightly results.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 1d265
Playback remains usable, but native trim and skip totals can undercount discarded media, reducing calibration accuracy. These bounded telemetry limitations warrant owner awareness before using the new counters to set budgets.

Read the full diff at 3e68e25 end to end, then checked the surrounding ring, stretch, mixer, metrics, worklet, and harness code for the new counters. The trim accounting, unit conversions, and field plumbing all hold up.
Native trim and accelerate counters — ring::Consumer tracks pushed frames dropped by the capacity trim (excluding startup prime, staged prime, and resume comfort noise) and the pitch period the stretch removes; mixer sums the deltas for sinks still writing and Ledger::shed publishes them through Observation::{trimmed, accelerated}.
moq play --metrics reporting — the player adds its pre-ring discard (fit.skip at the fast threshold plus Write::dropped_sample_frames) through Event::Trimmed, and Metrics folds that together with the speaker's ring totals into each Sample.
Browser Audio.Stats.trimmed — AudioRingBuffer now marks each slot received or not, so a trim counts the skipped buffered audio and the skipped front of an incoming chunk while excluding gap zeros and declared silence; the worklet, AudioBuffer, decoder stats, and replay all carry the value.
Harness and schema — Sample gains trimmed and accelerated, the analyzer reduces their rise over the graded window to the four *_ms_* metrics, probe.ts and the replay emit them, and grade.ts prints both columns.
Docs and quest — the CLI docs describe the new metrics, and native-stretch.md now waits on seven scheduled nightlies that carry trimmed_ms, with the browser accelerated left to watch.md.

main landed the browser stretch (#8058) with a browser-only player_skips
count. Both players now report the same three counters: skips, the received
audio they trimmed, and what the stretch accelerated away. moq play adds its

Read the delta since the prior pullfrog review at 3e68e25, which is the merge of origin/main plus the new skip/accelerated counters and their plumbing, then followed each counter into its consumers.
Merged origin/main — adopted main's Playhead/presentation.delay() sampling in play::metrics and the browser stretch, then layered the PR's counters on top.
Native skip counter — ring::Consumer counts each Read::Trimmed as a skip beside the trimmed frames; mixer sums per-sink deltas only for sinks still completion.writing(), and Ledger::shed publishes Observation::skips.
moq play --metrics — each run of consecutive trimmed frames (fit.skip plus writes a full sink refused) becomes one playerSkips via the trimming latch, added to the ring's own skip total; every line now serializes playerSkips and trimmed.
Browser counters — Audio.Stats gains skips, trimmed, and accelerated; the ring counts stretch-removed frames in #stage, and the worklet, AudioBuffer, decoder stats, probe, and replay all carry them.
Harness and docs — Sample gains playerSkips/trimmed/accelerated, the analyzer emits player_skips_*, trimmed_ms_*, accelerated_ms_*, and the README, schema, CLI docs, and quest notes describe the native and browser meanings.
The two browser provenance findings already recorded in the PR body's ## Waiting (the staged-window received proportion and gap zeros in accelerated) remain the open design checkpoint; this delta does not change them, so they are not re-raised here.

Design change: the browser's trimmed and accelerated now count media time, as the maintainer chose at the round-3 design checkpoint ("count media time").
A skip counts everything it passes (the unplayed share of the staged window, the buffered ring, and the front of an incoming chunk), gap zeros included, less declared silence. The stretch counts what it sheds from any window it accelerates. Only opening silence, declared silence, and comfort noise are left out, as moq play already does, so the two runtimes match by construction. The ring's per-slot received marks and the staged window's received proportion are gone (1d26540).
Rejected: exact per-window tracking of received samples through the stretch's crossfaded windows (more ring and stretch state, and stretching only fully received windows changes playback), and dropping the browser counters (the runtimes would report different metric sets).
This settles round 3's two medium findings: a skip through a staged window now counts its unplayed media rather than a received share, and an accelerate through a gap's zeros counting as accelerated is the intended measure.

We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The doc text says the metrics file reports media 'trimmed to bound its delay or shed by playing faster', but the code's trimmed also counts frames refused by a full sink, and the PR's own decision is that acceleration is not discarded audio. The wording does not match the definition used for calibration, and the guideline says doc/ should not repeat reference detail.

ℹ️ No critical issues — one counter mismatch in the browser's new media-time trim.
Reviewed changes
Read the full 28-file diff at 1d26540 and the one-commit delta since the prior pullfrog review at 3620ea8, then followed each new counter into its consumers and ran the JS audio suite and typecheck.
Rust trim, skip, and accelerate counters — ring::Consumer counts each Read::Trimmed (skips), the pushed frames discard actually dropped (trimmed, excluding startup prime, staged prime, and resume cushion), and the pitch period stretch.process removed (accelerated); mixer sums the per-sink deltas for sinks still completion.writing(), and Ledger::shed publishes them through Observation, gated on finished() like the other counts.
moq play --metrics — pre-ring discard (fit.skip plus writes a full sink refused) becomes one Event::Trimmed per consecutive run; Metrics folds that with the speaker's ring totals into every line's playerSkips and trimmed, plus accelerated while a speaker is open. Cumulative semantics match the analyzer's rise.
Browser media-time accounting — commit 1d26540 drops the ring's per-slot received marks, so a skip counts its whole passed span (unplayed staged share included) less declared silence, and #stage counts the frames the stretch removes. Plumbing through AudioBuffer, the worklet, Decoder.Stats, replay.Quantum, and the harness is complete.
Harness, docs, and quest — Sample, analyzer, probe, replay, schema, README, and CLI docs carry the counters; native-stretch.md waits on seven nightlies that report them and browser-ceilings.md plans the same budget for browser rows. The perceptual check is recorded from 2026-11-05.
Verification: bun test js/watch/src/audio gives 260 pass and the two known @moq/libav-missing failures; tsc --noEmit -p watch/tsconfig.json is clean; ring-buffer.test.ts passes 60/60. The Rust playback suite cannot build here (no alsa).
A re-anchor over a gap the ring never held counted the gap as trimmed,
and on an empty ring counted it with no skip. Both counters now move
only when the ring held audio, and the trim counts the held span and the
incoming chunk's front, not the jump between them, as moq-audio does.

The re-anchor counter mismatch is addressed: trimming now counts the held span, unplayed staged media and skipped incoming front, while excluding the gap the ring never held. Empty-ring re-anchors leave both counters unchanged. Checked declared-silence subtraction and both skip call sites; the two added regressions cover held-tail and empty-ring re-anchors.

Claims quest/m1/audio-jitter-target/native-stretch.md and leaves it rewritten to what remains: seven nightlies that carry the new counters, then the calibration.
Summary
Both players now report their own skips, trimmed audio, and accelerated audio, so the native calibration can budget trims alone instead of the analyzer's
skip_aheads/discarded_ms, which count the inaudible accelerate as discarded audio. The maintainer chose this (comment). The browser stretch (moq-dev/moq#8058) landed during this iteration with a browser-onlyplayer_skipscount, so the native player now reports that count too, and the browser reports the two amounts.moq_audio::playback::Observationgainsskips,trimmed(the ring's capacity-watermark trim, less its opening silence and comfort noise), andaccelerated(pitch periods the stretch removed), summed over the sinks being written and counted on the audio thread with plain atomics, likecomfort.moq play --metricsadds what it discards before the ring: the incoming excess skipped at the stretch's fast threshold, and frames a full sink refused. Each run of consecutive trimmed frames is one skip. It writesplayerSkips,trimmed, andacceleratedon every line.@moq/watchaudio.out.statsgainstrimmedandacceleratedbesideskips, both in media time: a skip counts everything it passes, the unplayed staged window and the front of an incoming chunk included, less declared silence.Samplegainstrimmedandaccelerated, andplayerSkipsis now native too. The analyzer reduces them totrimmed_ms_{total,per_min}andaccelerated_ms_{total,per_min}, the README documents them, and the browser page, replays, andmoq playall emit them.--enforce. The native calibration (quest) swaps the nativeskip_aheads_per_minanddiscarded_ms_per_minforplayer_skips_per_minandtrimmed_ms_per_min. Browser ceilings' plan now suggests budgetingtrimmed_ms_per_minthe same way.Grading the first four nights (2026-11-05 to 11-08, tables below) found zero underruns on 11 of 12 native rows every night. Opus
stephad one 22 to 44 ms gap at the 29.6 s network step, a late arrival no stretch can cover without concealment. Every native skip-ahead the analyzer reported was the accelerate shedding a lowered target or a startup overfill, which prompted the decision above. The nightlybench-playbackpassed all four nights at 16 to 43% stretch cost per callback; its worst cell is 1.02 ms of a 42.7 ms period.Decisions
Recorded 2026-11-09 by the maintainer (comment):
moq play --metricsreports its own trimmed and accelerated audio, and the calibration budgets trims alone (rejected: keep budgeting accelerates asdiscarded_ms).bench-playbackcounts as the quiet-host run (rejected: naming another host).Recorded 2026-11-09 by the maintainer at the round-3 design checkpoint ("count media time"):
trimmedandacceleratedmeasure the media the player dropped or sped through, gap zeros included, leaving out only opening silence, declared silence, and comfort noise, as native already does (rejected: exact per-window tracking of received samples through the stretch's crossfaded windows; dropping the browser counters). The two runtimes match by construction, and the ring's per-slot received marks go away. A trim or accelerate through a network gap counts that gap.Made here:
main, so the counters must merge before any night can calibrate them, and the repo prefers the exhaustive PR.player_skips_per_minwithtrimmed_ms_per_min(rejected: an amount without a count). It mirrors the analyzer's count/amount pair it replaces, and moq-dev/moq#8058's browser calibration already budgetsplayer_skips.skip_aheads/discarded_msceilings until that calibration (rejected: drop them now). Native rows run report-only, and loosening without a measurement is what the budgets note forbids.Choices made without asking
skip_aheadsstill reports them. A test burst confirmed the subscription, not the player, drops stale groups.comfort, which is device time): they are amounts of media thrown away.Counter): nothing upstream consumes trims.step's single gap at the network step as a transient, not a steady-state underrun: the target had settled and the network moved under it.Public API and wire impact
