Select capture when building the studio.

moq-studio --features capture does not enable the Cargo feature. Use cargo run -p moq-studio --features capture -- show.toml, with relay options for the publishing check.

Update the macOS studio instructions to enable capture through Cargo, not a

- Maintainer: log into a Wayland desktop session (GNOME or KDE) on a Mesa GPU,
such as nixos2's Intel, so an agent can run `binary(browser)` there with that
session's `WAYLAND_DISPLAY`. An agent cannot start a logged-in session on a
greeter. Check: `loginctl list-sessions` shows a user session on `seat0`.
Decided 2026-11-06 (maintainer, /quest-unblock): this trial runs before
nixos2 switches to Windows ([windows-host](/quest/m0/windows-host.md)), which
then leaves no Mesa machine on NixOS.

Since 2026-11-06 ([kixelated/nixos#31](https://github.com/kixelated/nixos/pull/31)),
GDM logs `kixelated` into GNOME at boot on nixos2. Its GNOME Shell runs on
the Intel GPU (`card1`, `renderD128`) with no monitor attached, so an agent
runs `binary(browser)` there over ssh with `WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0` and
`XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000`. If a page paints only with a display
connected, say so and ask the maintainer for an HDMI dummy plug on the
motherboard's port.

- an Apple Developer ID that can notarize and holds the System Extension
entitlement the macOS camera extension needs
- a Windows code-signing certificate
Release CI can sign and notarize the macOS app and its camera system
extension: moq-dev/studio holds, as Actions secrets for the release
environment, a Developer ID Application certificate with its key, an App
Store Connect API key for `notarytool`, and a Developer ID provisioning
profile carrying the System Extension capability.

release workflow can read them.

Check certificate expiry before completing the quest.

If membership is renewed after 2027-02-01 and the .p12 contains the recorded certificate, the plan can store an expired identity and delete the quest. Apple requires a new certificate to sign new releases. Check the .p12 expiry and replace an expired identity before completing the quest.

has lapsed, so notarization fails until it is renewed.
- Once renewed, an agent with the maintainer's `op` session creates the
Developer ID profile through the App Store Connect API with that key, and
stores everything with `gh secret set` (no secret passes through chat or a
file outside `.tmp/`). Confirm the `.p12` holds the Developer ID key, not a
distribution one, before storing it. Then delete this quest.

## Waiting

- Maintainer: renew the Apple Developer Program membership for team
`D7D5SDDB5Z`; only the account holder can pay. Check: `xcrun notarytool

# [S] nixos2 boots Windows for agents

## Goal

nixos2 boots Windows by default, and an agent on the maintainer's Mac reaches
it with `ssh nixos2`, builds `moq-studio --features capture` there, and finds
a camera and a microphone to capture, so Windows quests run on real hardware.

## Plan

Decided 2026-11-06 (maintainer, /quest-unblock): nixos2 becomes the Windows
host, after the Mesa trial on its Intel GPU
([cef-headless](/quest/m0/cef-headless.md)), which needs NixOS there.

nixos2 already dual-boots: Windows sits on its own partition (`nvme0n1p3`,
600 GB, last booted 2026-09-14) with firmware entry `Boot0003` (Windows Boot
Manager); NixOS boots through systemd-boot on `nvme0n1p4`. The switch:

1. From NixOS, an agent moves `Boot0003` to the front of the firmware boot
order (`efibootmgr -o`, with passwordless sudo) and reboots. NixOS stays
installed; boot it once with `bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} bootsequence
{<entry>}` from Windows when a Linux run needs it.

Match the key file to the SSH login account.

If ssh nixos2 selects a non-administrator account, Windows OpenSSH normally checks that account’s authorized_keys file instead. The documented key setup can therefore leave key authentication unavailable. Specify the login account and install the key in the corresponding file.

Review comment at @quest/m0/windows-host.md around lines 32 - 33:
Update the SSH key setup instructions around `ssh nixos2` to specify the login
account and install the Mac’s public key in the authorized-keys file Windows
OpenSSH uses for that account; retain `administrators_authorized_keys` only when
the documented login account is an administrator.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

camera and a microphone, which nixos2 lacks. An agent cannot reach Windows
before sshd runs. Check: `ssh nixos2 ver` prints a Windows version.

## Required

- [Browser sources on the GPU under Mesa](/quest/m0/cef-headless.md) - the Mesa trial runs on nixos2's Intel GPU first

Make the Mesa trial a separate prerequisite.

If the trial finishes while GPU-paint or failure-reporting work remains, Quest still blocks windows-host until all of cef-headless finishes. Split the trial into its own quest and require that quest instead.

Review comment at @quest/m0/windows-host.md at line 39:
Separate the Mesa trial from the broader cef-headless quest and update the
windows-host prerequisite to require the new trial quest instead of
cef-headless, so remaining GPU-paint or failure-reporting work does not block
windows-host.
