Finishes Zero-copy source import.

Summary

The DMA-BUF and Metal importers already existed in moq_video::render, but any frame they could not take was silently downloaded and uploaded, and a failing importer retired itself after three strikes. Per the maintainer's redirect, this PR replaces that with one API that fails loudly, and settles each frame's path where it is produced.

• Renderer (moq-video): Renderer::render(&Frame) -> Result<wgpu::Texture, Error> keeps its signature.
  • A CPU frame (Surface::I420) uploads. That is the supported path, not a fallback.
  • A GPU frame is imported, or render returns an error naming the cause and the fix: a surface kind with no importer here (CUDA, Direct3D11, external Vulkan, Android hardware buffers), a pixel or DRM format the importer cannot alias, or a device opened without VULKAN_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_DMA_BUF. A genuine import failure is returned, not retried.
  • Removed: Config::zero_copy, ZERO_COPY_STRIKES, the strike and retire state, the Ok(None) slide to the CPU, and the DMA-BUF fence-timeout special case.
• Negotiation at the source (moq-video): the new Output::Render keeps the GPU surfaces this platform's renderer imports and delivers everything else as CPU I420.
  • The decoder, Frame::resize and the new capture::Config::output all honour it. The decision comes from the importers' own format tables (render::source::imports), so the two cannot drift.
  • Without the render feature nothing imports, so Render behaves like Cpu.
• Negotiation against the device (moq-video): the new render::output(&wgpu::Device) -> Output returns Output::Render when the device can import this platform's GPU frames (Linux: VULKAN_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_DMA_BUF; Apple: a Metal device) and Output::Cpu otherwise (wgpu's GL backend, software Vulkan opened without the feature, Windows, Android). It is decided once at setup, with no runtime fallback, and the DMA-BUF importer checks the same predicate, so the two cannot drift.
• Callers:
  • moq-scene decodes broadcast sources and captures devices with source::Context::output, which moq-studio sets to render::output of its device.
  • moq play decodes with render::output of its window's device. The media task still starts before the window exists, so the broadcast resolves in parallel, and it awaits the device's choice (a tokio::sync::SetOnce set in resumed) only to open a decoder. The window now opens its device with render::request_device from feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805, which enables VULKAN_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_DMA_BUF where the adapter has it.
  • moq-studio already opened its device with render::request_device.
• Studio: per-frame route counts are gone, along with the Output panel row and Compositor::routes. A source's path follows from its kind and setup, and doc/bin/studio.md describes it.
• pipewire: moq-scene gains an opt-in pipewire feature (capture + moq-video/pipewire + moq-audio/pipewire), and moq-studio/pipewire goes through it.
• Tests:
  • New lavapipe test an_unimportable_gpu_frame_is_refused: a DMA-BUF on a device without the import feature is an error naming the feature, and the renderer still draws the next CPU frame. It runs in just rs render-sw.
  • New lavapipe test the_output_follows_the_device: render::output is Cpu for a device opened without VULKAN_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_DMA_BUF and Render for one opened with it. It runs in just rs render-sw.
  • New unit test output::tests::render_keeps_only_importable_dma_bufs: Render keeps NV12, YU12 and XRGB DMA-BUFs and downloads a YUYV one, while Native never downloads.
  • The Metal, VA-API and PipeWire import tests assert import directly. With no fallback, Ok on a GPU surface means it imported, and the Metal tests now also assert they built a pixel buffer.
• macOS CI: just rs macos-test runs the_metal_import_matches_the_cpu_path and imports_survive_decoder_pool_recycling on the runner's Metal device. Their bullet in quest/m3/video-hardware.md is removed.
• Docs and quests:
  • rs/moq-video/MIGRATE.md, README.md and the render module docs are updated.
  • quest/m2/render-d3d11.md, quest/m3/video-embedded.md, quest/m1/studio-gpu/README.md and quest/m1/studio-gpu/encode.md no longer plan a per-path fallback or a counted readback.
  • The packaging quest records that the Flatpak builds with pipewire.
  • quest/m1/studio-gpu/import.md and its links are deleted. With the encode quest finished by feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805, this completes the quest/m1/studio-gpu epic, so its README and its m1 link are deleted too.

API and wire impact

• Breaking (moq-video, published):
  • render::Config::zero_copy is removed.
  • Renderer::render returns an error for a GPU surface it cannot import, where it used to download it.
  • Migration:
    • Decode and capture with decode::Config::output / capture::Config::output set to render::output(&device) to receive only frames that draw on that device.
    • On Linux, open the device with wgpu::Features::VULKAN_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_DMA_BUF where the adapter has it, or render::output picks the CPU.
    • For the old zero_copy: false, use Output::Cpu.
    • Recorded in rs/moq-video/MIGRATE.md.
• New (moq-video):
  • render::output(&wgpu::Device) -> Output, the output a renderer on that device draws.
  • Output::Render, which is additive because Output is #[non_exhaustive].
  • capture::Config::output, which is additive because the struct is #[non_exhaustive]; it defaults to Output::Native.
• Dropped since the previous head (never released): render::Rendered, render::Route, moq_scene::Routes and Compositor::routes.
• moq-scene (unpublished):
  • The new pipewire feature.
  • source::Context gains output, and loses Context::new and #[non_exhaustive]: build it as a struct literal, with output: moq_video::render::output(&device).
• moq-studio (unpublished): pipewire now enables moq-scene/pipewire, which turns on the same leaf features as before.
• moq-cli: moq play opens its device with render::request_device and decodes with render::output of it. No flags change.
• Wire: none.

Settled decisions

• ✅ Renderer API (maintainer, 2026-10-25): one API that fails loudly. render keeps returning the texture, CPU frames upload, and an unimportable GPU surface is an error that names the fix. Rendered and Route are removed.
• ✅ pipewire default (maintainer): off by default in moq-scene and moq-studio, because it links libpipewire-0.3 and its bindgen needs libclang. Packaging turns it on, and quest/m3/studio/packaging.md records that the Flatpak builds with it.
• ✅ Source-side negotiation (maintainer, 2026-10-25): keep Output::Render (named for the consumer role, not Importable) and capture::Config::output, as implemented. The source decides once, by surface kind and format, from the importers' own tables, and decode, capture and resize share the same output field. A caller-side Native or Cpu choice cannot cover a runtime-picked decoder (NVDEC's CUDA frames versus VA-API's DMA-BUFs), and a public imports predicate would put the fallback back in every caller.
• ✅ Device negotiation (maintainer, 2026-10-26): a moq-video function on the device returns Output::Render when the device can import what this platform's importers need and Output::Cpu otherwise, decided at setup. moq play and moq-scene take it from their device. Alternatives not taken: an Output::Render that carries proof of the device (a larger reshape of the settled variant), and leaving it failing loudly with a documented device requirement.
• ✅ Studio route counters: dropped. The source's kind and setup decide its path, so per-frame counts and an Output panel row add nothing.

Choices made

• moq play opens its device with render::request_device, now that feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805 is on main.
• A surface kind with no importer is Error::Unsupported. A device, format, or driver refusal is Error::Render.
• render::output is a free function in the render module rather than a Renderer method, because moq play decides before its renderer exists, and it takes the wgpu::Device like Renderer::new. It stays in render/source.rs beside the importers' format tables it shares, rather than moving into render/device.rs.
• moq-scene carries the choice as a required Context::output field. Context::new would have taken a fourth argument, so the struct literal replaces it, and dropping #[non_exhaustive] makes every caller name the output.
• In moq play the choice reaches the media task through its existing device seam, the Output trait (render()), so the test recorder and the headless player answer Cpu without touching their construction.
• Output::Render itself still decides by surface kind and format only; render::output is what checks the device. A DRM modifier the driver refuses, or a pixel buffer without IOSurface backing, is a genuine import error and returns from render.
• The VA-API decoder exports DMA-BUFs for Render as well as Native, since the renderer imports its NV12.
• macOS cameras are not asked for NV12 in this PR. A 2vuy webcam frame has no CPU download (PixelBuffer::download_i420 takes only NV12), so under Output::Render the capture returns an error for it, as it already failed in the renderer's old fallback. The Output docs and MIGRATE.md now say a surface with no download is an error. Requesting 420v at the source is a follow-up because Apple code cannot be compiled or run here.

Checks

Passed locally:

• After merging main with feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805 (ed0840a): clippy -D warnings on all targets for moq-video (default, --no-default-features --features render, and render,vaapi,pipewire), moq-scene and moq-studio (default, and pipewire), and moq-cli with play,openh264; cargo test on moq-video, moq-scene, moq-studio, and moq-cli play::; cargo fmt --check; quest check; just rs render-sw (5 renderer tests, 6 export tests, 7 moq-scene, 1 moq-studio).
• After the device negotiation (1818468): clippy -D warnings on all targets for moq-video (default, and render,vaapi,pipewire), moq-scene and moq-studio (default, and pipewire), and moq-cli with play,openh264; rustdoc -D warnings on moq-video render,vaapi,pipewire; cargo test on moq-video, moq-scene, moq-studio, and moq-cli play::; cargo fmt --check; just rs render-sw (5 moq-video including the new the_output_follows_the_device, 7 moq-scene, 1 moq-studio).
• After merging main (with feat(studio)!: moq-studio, moq-scene, and a moq-audio program bus #6797 squashed in): clippy -D warnings on moq-video, moq-scene, moq-studio and moq-cli (play), moq-video with render,vaapi,pipewire, and moq-scene/moq-studio with pipewire; cargo test on moq-video, moq-scene and moq-studio; moq-cli play tests with openh264; just rs render-sw (4 moq-video, 7 moq-scene, 1 moq-studio); quest check.
• Before that merge:
  • just rs lint-changed and just rs test-changed on this diff against quest/m3/studio/app: 10350 tests passed.
  • clippy with -D warnings on all targets:
    • moq-video: default features, --no-default-features --features render, and render,vaapi,pipewire.
    • moq-scene and moq-studio: default features, and with capture and pipewire.
    • moq-cli with play.
  • rustdoc with -D warnings (moq-video render,vaapi,pipewire), quest check, and the markdown check.
  • just rs render-sw on lavapipe: 4 moq-video tests (including the new refusal test), 6 moq-scene tests and 1 moq-studio test.
  • On an Intel Arrow Lake iGPU (flake Mesa 26.2.5 ANV, iHD 26.3.5):
    • The VA-API DMA-BUF import tests the_nv12_dmabuf_import_matches_the_cpu_path, the_i420_dmabuf_import_matches_the_cpu_path, decoded_frames_reach_the_gpu_without_a_download and recycled_decoder_surfaces_draw_the_latest_picture passed, with worst drift 0 of 255.
    • an_unimportable_gpu_frame_is_refused passed on the real Intel Vulkan device.

just check itself fails in its flake module on this sandbox (unshare: write failed /proc/self/uid_map), unrelated to this PR, so its Rust and markdown modules were run separately as listed.

Not run:

• macOS: no Apple target is installed here, so render/metal.rs (format table extracted to layout_of and imports, and the new supports device check behind render::output) and the Metal tests were not compiled or run. Platform CI runs them only on Nightly and release PRs.
• Windows and Android: the Surface::Texture and Surface::HardwareBuffer arms of render::source::kind, and the no-importer branch of render::output, were not compiled.
• PipeWire portal DMA-BUF hardware test packed_dmabuf_renders_through_vulkan: it needs a person to pick a screen in the portal.

Suggested follow-ups

• macOS cameras request NV12: set AVCaptureVideoDataOutput.videoSettings to 420v, so 2vuy webcams import instead of failing at the capture under Output::Render.
• Metal device error fix text: the non-Metal-device error from render/metal.rs's texture_cache (feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805) should name render::output as the fix, like the DMA-BUF one.
• CUDA import for NVDEC frames on Linux, so Output::Render keeps them on the GPU. Today it downloads them.
• Direct3D11 import (quest/m2/render-d3d11.md, updated here): once it lands, Surface::Texture joins what Output::Render keeps.
• Portal screen source for the studio: on Wayland the studio has no screen capture at all, and portal captures are PipeWire DMA-BUFs this path imports.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 34e3a08a301bb69aba2e0ffd4d76693968f0c2fc (against 88e1a94bb733ee2a6fd65c5a03537ad69df7503c).

No actionable newly introduced code bug established. One new API/documentation promise needs narrowing: rs/moq-video/src/output.rs:26–31 and the migration guidance imply non-importable capture formats arrive as CPU frames. For an AVFoundation 2vuy buffer, Render selects Cpu, but convert at lines 48–50 calls PixelBuffer::download_i420, which accepts only NV12 (frame.rs:1729–1737). AVFoundation leaves the output format unspecified, so this returns an error rather than the CPU frame the PR description explicitly promises. This is an existing conversion limitation, not a newly introduced camera regression. Please document that limitation accurately, or implement supported source conversion/negotiation and a non-NV12 capture test before claiming those cameras now draw.

Direction: the single fail-loud renderer API and importer-owned format tables are simpler and more predictable than retry/retire fallback state. Keeping device/import failures explicit is consistent with that design; no additional route abstraction is needed.

No previous published reviews or inline findings to reconcile. Verification: static GitHub diff and surrounding-code inspection only; I did not compile, run tests, or exercise Metal, VA-API, PipeWire, Windows or Android hardware.

Re the OpenAI review of 34e3a08 (review): agreed, a 2vuy pixel buffer has no CPU download, so Output::Render returns an error for it at the capture rather than a frame that draws. fc4e7aa narrows the Output::Cpu and Output::Render docs and MIGRATE.md to say a surface with no download is an error, and the PR body no longer claims those cameras draw. Requesting 420v from AVFoundation stays a follow-up, since Apple code cannot be compiled or tested here.

Reviewed commit: fc4e7aa3534c1aaeb79798616da9e64c44a521ae; incremental comparison with 34e3a08a301bb69aba2e0ffd4d76693968f0c2fc, unchanged PR base.

The documentation concern in my previous review is addressed: Output::Cpu/Render now explicitly include unsupported-download errors, and the migration guidance and PR description accurately identify the non-NV12 capture limitation. That underlying limitation remains unchanged; this is a documentation fix, not newly added camera support.

No new actionable bugs found in this update. The narrowly scoped clarification is the appropriate simpler fix and leaves the fail-loud/source-routing design intact. Verification: static inspection of the two changed files and prior comparison only; no builds, tests or hardware execution.

Walkthrough

The video API adds Output::Render for selecting frames that the renderer can import, while converting other surfaces to CPU frames. The renderer now returns errors for unsupported GPU imports instead of downloading those surfaces. Capture and decode paths in the CLI and studio request render-aware output, and the studio feature configuration adds PipeWire support.

Priority: Pending latest changes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 34e3a

Playback on Linux machines whose GPU driver cannot import DMA-BUFs can fail to display VA-API decoded video instead of falling back to CPU frames. Select CPU output when the display device lacks the import feature before merging. A minor extra cost remains for library builds without the render feature.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is specific and on-topic. It explains that the PR replaces silent CPU downloads of undecodable GPU frames with a loud-failure renderer API, adds Output::Render and render::output for source-side and device-side negotiation, and removes zero-copy fallback state. It lists the affected crates, tests, breaking changes, migration steps, and docs. It also names the removed quest docs and the pipewire feature. The changeset matches these points, so the description relates directly to it.

The VA-API change correctly fixes the independently reported unnecessary export: without render, Output::Render now takes the existing direct CPU decode path, while Native still exports. No new actionable bugs found in this delta; the small setup-time feature check is appropriate and adds no public API or wire change.

Still open, not a new finding: device-capability negotiation in playback/scene setup. The new feature check does not address a built renderer whose actual device cannot import DMA-BUFs. The author's proposed centralized setup-time output choice would preserve the fail-loud design without restoring per-frame fallback; that API decision remains pending. My earlier documentation concern remains addressed.

Verification: static GitHub comparison and surrounding-code/thread inspection only; no builds, tests or GPU execution.

The previously open device-capability negotiation finding is addressed: render::output(&device) selects CPU output when the actual device lacks the platform importer, playback awaits that device choice before opening the decoder, and studio passes it through source context to capture and broadcast decode. The importer and setup choice share the Linux feature predicate; the added device-output test covers both enabled/disabled feature cases. Earlier documentation and VA-API export fixes remain intact.

No new actionable bugs found. Centralizing this setup decision is the simpler appropriate design; it avoids duplicating platform checks or reviving runtime fallback. API impact is the additive public render::output helper and the unpublished scene context's explicit output field/struct construction replacing Context::new; no wire change.

Verification: static GitHub comparison and surrounding-code inspection, including window startup/exit handling and source propagation. I did not compile, run tests, or exercise GPU/platform hardware.

Merging at 1818468 per the maintainer's /quest-merge.

• CI green (10/10), mergeable against main 765bdfc, no unresolved threads.
• Codex thumbs-up, OpenAI review and CodeRabbit clean on this head. The last finding (device-capability negotiation) was addressed by render::output(&device), decided once at setup.
• quest check --base origin/main --branch quest/m1/studio-gpu/import passes; quest/m1/studio-gpu/import.md and its links are deleted.
• Settled decisions are listed in the PR body: fail-loud renderer API, Output::Render source negotiation, device negotiation via render::output, pipewire off by default, studio route counters dropped.
• Follow-ups from the body: switch moq play and moq-studio to render::request_device once feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805 lands, and request 420v from macOS cameras at the source.

No new actionable bugs found in the merge integration. The noteworthy branch change is playback adopting render::request_device: it retains DMA-BUF feature negotiation and uses the shared Vulkan device-opening path to enable supported external-semaphore sharing. Centralizing this setup is preferable to maintaining a second device configuration. The inherited Metal cache extraction preserves the importer's None texture attributes, and both macOS import/export test sets remain wired in.

The previous device-capability, documentation and VA-API export findings remain addressed; source output selection and propagation are unchanged. The large export/transport changes already in the new base are not new findings from this PR. No new wire change.

Verification: static GitHub comparison and relevant setup/import code inspection only; no compilation, test execution or GPU validation.

Requeuing after the merge_conflict dequeue. Merged main in ed0840a, resolving against #6805:

• moq play now opens its device with render::request_device, the switch this PR planned once feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805 landed. moq-studio already used it.
• render/mod.rs docs point Linux callers at request_device; render/metal.rs keeps this PR's layout_of/imports/supports beside feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805's texture_cache.
• rs/justfile runs both the macOS export and Metal import tests, and render-sw runs both the renderer and export sets.
• doc/bin/studio.md keeps feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805's encode paragraph and adds this PR's source paragraph.
• With feat(moq-video): export the studio program to the encoder on the GPU #6805 finishing the encode quest and this PR the import quest, the quest/m1/studio-gpu epic has no work left, so it is deleted (quest rm). quest/m3/studio/packaging.md keeps the maintainer's release decision and adds why the Flatpak needs pipewire.

Checks after the merge: clippy -D warnings across moq-video (default, render, render,vaapi,pipewire), moq-scene/moq-studio (default, pipewire), and moq-cli play,openh264; cargo test on those crates; cargo fmt --check; quest check; just rs render-sw all pass. Reviews on ed0840a have no findings.
