Summary

Plans an m1 quest under audio-jitter-target: the browser player caps its "auto" delay so a publisher advertising a huge jitter or catalog delay cannot hold a <moq-watch> viewer, or the media it buffers, without bound.

moq-dev/moq#8532 added that cap to moq play (10 s, moq_audio::playback::Input::LATENCY_MAX) and noted the browser has none. That predates #8532.

Decisions

  • Plan it in m1 (maintainer, /quest-complete, 2026-11-11). Rejected: m3 or later; not tracking it.

Impact

None: planning text only.

Follow-ups

None.

Walkthrough

The new planning document proposes limiting resolved "auto" delay to 10 seconds while leaving fixed viewer-selected delays unchanged. It describes planned tests for advertised jitter and delay, and a check that moq_mux::sync and moq play use the same cap. It does not change implementation or public declarations.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to cc6e4

This change adds planning text only and has no runtime impact. Merging it carries no meaningful risk; the open comments are minor wording suggestions for the plan.

Explanation

The title names the main change: the browser player's advertised delay will be capped so a publisher cannot hold a viewer without bound. The changeset adds a planning document (delay-cap.md) that proposes exactly this cap on the "auto" delay in Sync#runDelay, matching the 10-second limit used by moq play. The title is specific and accurate.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is directly related to the changeset. It explains that the PR adds a planning document (quest under audio-jitter-target) for capping the browser player's "auto" delay at 10 seconds, matching the 10-second cap used by moq play. It also gives context from PR #8532, the decision to plan the work in m1, and states that the change has no implementation impact. The summary matches the raw summary of delay-cap.md.

Include the browser constant in the cap check.

A check between moq_mux::sync and moq play does not verify the proposed @moq/watch constant. Include the browser value in the comparison so the check can detect a mismatch.

Update the delay-cap check to include the proposed @moq/watch browser constant alongside the moq_mux::sync and moq play values. Ensure the comparison detects when any of the three "auto" delay caps differ, and state where all three constants are pinned together.

Test jitter and catalog delay separately.

A test with both values set to an hour can pass if the implementation caps only one of them. Add separate cases for large jitter and large catalog delay.
