Finishes quest/m1/fmp4-edit-lists.md. moq-dev/moq#6686 made the fMP4 importer apply the edit list holding ffmpeg's 1024 AAC priming samples, so the interop --phase check now covers the AAC (mp4a) rendition as it does Opus.

Changes

• test/interop/interop.sh: phase_checked no longer limits --phase to Opus; it skips only GStreamer's AAC.
• test/interop/README.md: the phase paragraph says the same.
• Deletes the finished quest and its link in quest/m1/README.md.

Choices made

• GStreamer's AAC skips the phase check rather than moqsrc compensating. faad, which decodebin picks in the nix shell (it ships no gst-libav), drops the first frame's output and stamps the rest a frame early. ffmpeg's decoder lands at the timestamps and fdkaacdec later still. So the offset belongs to whichever decoder sits downstream, and moqsrc cannot know which to compensate for; a shift there would break the other two. Opus stays phase-checked on GStreamer, which already covers moqsrc carrying timestamps through.

Impact

None on public API or wire. Test harness only.

Checks

• just test interop --all --publishers rust: all checks passed.
• With the GStreamer exception removed, just test interop --publishers rust --subscribers gst,python fails rust -> gst on the AAC phase (+875us) and passes rust -> python, confirming the skip's reason.
• just check and quest check --base origin/main pass.

Follow-ups

• Upstream: report the faad element's first-frame drop and timestamp shift to GStreamer, after which the skip could go.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 2bcfc21

No actionable bugs found. Extending the existing timestamp-relative phase check to AAC is a focused improvement. The predicate preserves the browser-publisher and native-JS exceptions, keeps GStreamer's Opus phase coverage, and skips only its AAC among the current codecs. Keeping decoder-specific compensation out of moqsrc is the simpler direction; the skipped AAC path still checks tone, channel layout and timestamp continuity.

Verification: static review of the patch, harness dispatch and tone checker only. I did not run interop tests or independently reproduce the reported faad timing behavior.

Walkthrough

The interop phase check now includes eligible non-Opus codecs and compares rendition tone timestamps with publisher timestamps within one sample. It retains exclusions for browser publishers and native-JS subscribers, and skips GStreamer AAC. The fMP4 edit-lists quest entry and its proposal document were removed.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2bcfc

The interop test can miss AAC timestamp regressions in supported GStreamer configurations.

371-376: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Scope the GStreamer AAC exception to the selected decoder.

phase_checked skips every GStreamer AAC phase check. However, prepare_gst accepts avdec_aac and fdkaacdec before faad, while run_gst_audio uses decodebin without forcing faad. The repository quest records that the ffmpeg decoder preserves AAC priming timestamps. A GStreamer run that selects that decoder can therefore preserve the expected phase, but the current predicate omits tone.py --phase and can miss a timestamp regression.

Pass the selected decoder to phase_checked and skip only decoders with the documented offset, while retaining the phase check for the ffmpeg decoder.

On the CodeRabbit nitpick (scope the GStreamer AAC skip to faad): declining. The interop GStreamer cell decodes through the dev shell's plugins (base, good, bad), which carry no gst-libav, so decodebin there always ranks faad (secondary) over fdkaacdec (marginal), and the quest found fdkaacdec off the phase too. Keeping the check for avdec_aac alone would add a rank probe for a combination CI never runs. If gst-libav joins the shell, scoping the skip to the picked decoder is the right follow-up.

Landing: CI green, OpenAI and CodeRabbit reviews of 2bcfc21 cover the head (CodeRabbit's one nitpick declined above), and quest check --base origin/main passes. No changes made during merge.

Maintainer decision (2026-10-25): confirmed. The phase check skips GStreamer's AAC with the reason; moqsrc does not compensate for faad's delay.
