Problem

The layers epic planned a layer layout track naming tracks of one broadcast. On 2026-11-12, moq-dev/studio chose a composition instead (moq-dev/studio#143): every published source, guests included, is its own broadcast. hang's include can't name them, since it requires an included broadcast to share the listing catalog's PTS timeline, media.clock, and media.join.interval.

Approach

• Rewrites the epic and its three quests in place, paths kept so the studio's links and checks resolve: spec.md is now "hang specifies a composition", play.md and watch.md play compositions.
• Adds quest/m2/catalog-at-timestamp.md: every hang catalog update applies at its timestamp. Today rs/hang's catalog consumer drops the stamp moq-mux's producer writes.
• spec.md's Waiting moves from the studio's watch prototype, which merged as moq-dev/studio#140, to its composition prototype.

Decisions

From the maintainer's /quest-plan interview on 2026-11-12, recorded in the epic's Plan:

• Goal: ✅ hang specifies a composition, moq play and @moq/watch play it, replacing the layer layout track (rejected: adjusting it).
• Generality: ✅ a general way to compose broadcasts, with the studio as its first producer (rejected: studio-shaped).
• Shape: ✅ everything in the composition broadcast's catalog, its updates timed from lite-07 on (rejected: catalog plus a timed placement track; everything in one track).
• Effect time: ✅ a general hang rule that every catalog update applies at its timestamp (rejected: timing only the composition section).
• Milestone of that rule: ✅ m2, beside lite-07 (rejected: m3 with the epic).
• Clock: ✅ the composer's per-child offset (rejected: aligning by media.clock wall times).
• Older players: ✅ the composition names a main child and lists its renditions (rejected: an empty catalog for them).
• Untimed: ✅ a composition requires a timed catalog; a player plays the main alone otherwise (rejected: applying updates on arrival).

Impact

None: quest files only.

Follow-ups

• moq-dev/studio's quest/m2/compose/hang-layers.md names these quests by their old titles in its link text; refresh it on its next edit.

Validation

Quest files only, no behavior to exercise. quest check and just ci (in the dev shell) pass.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes: the full diff, which touches only quest plan files. I also checked the code references it makes.

• New quest quest/m2/catalog-at-timestamp.md plans applying every hang catalog update at its timestamp. The .map(|value| value.value) it cites exists at rs/hang/src/catalog/consumer.rs:51, and the time-addressing links resolve.
• Epic README is replanned around compositions. It records the decisions: separate broadcasts as children, per-child offset, main child for older players, and a timed catalog required.
• spec.md, play.md, and watch.md are retitled and reworded consistently. check_resolvable exists at rs/hang/src/catalog/consumer.rs:65, and the file paths are unchanged.

Walkthrough

The quests replace the layer-layout-track design with a composition-based design. They describe timestamped catalog updates, composition-listed child broadcasts, clock offsets, playback properties, and main-child renditions. The moq play and @moq/watch plans now refer to composition playback. They also retain existing playback for broadcasts without a composition.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 10d0b

This change only replans quest documents, so nothing ships to users. A few gaps in the plan should be tightened before implementers rely on it: how timed catalog updates are read without skipping, whether sound children are fetched, and how shared tracks stay subscribed.

Read timed catalog updates without skipping.

The planned rule applies every timed catalog update at its timestamp. The catalog Consumer::poll_next reads through poll_latest, which discards older states. Stamp 10 and stamp 20 can both arrive before playback reaches 10. The consumer then reads only the update at 20, and the update at 10 is never applied.

The plan should require timed catalog updates to be read in order and without skipping. It should not reuse the latest-value reader for this path.

Fetch sound children, not only visible picture children.

The fetch rule reads "visible children." The spec defines visibility only for picture children (quest/m3/layers/spec.md:8-10). A sound-only child has no visibility state, so a literal reading excludes it. The Goal still requires that child to be mixed. The same wording appears in quest/m3/layers/play.md:14 and quest/m3/layers/watch.md:14. Name both child kinds in each rule.

Suggested fix

quest/m3/layers/play.md:

-Fetch only visible children, at the composition's priorities through moq-lite's
+Fetch each visible picture child and each sound child, at the composition's priorities through moq-lite's

quest/m3/layers/watch.md:

-Fetch only visible children, at the composition's priorities through moq-lite's

Specify shared-track handling in the watch plan.

The watch plan says to unsubscribe a toggled-off child. It does not say what happens when a track is shown by more than one child. If an implementer reads this literally, toggling off one child can unsubscribe a track that another visible child still needs. The moq play plan already settles this case: a shared track stays subscribed while any child uses it, at the highest priority among those children.
