Claims quest/m0/interop-green/README.md.

Summary

The quest's last open item was the replacement media case's audio stall after a route fallback. It reproduces locally but I did not root-cause it, so this PR takes the quest's own fallback: replacement leaves the default media run on every engine (it was Firefox-only since #8443), with the QUARANTINE line reported as a SKIP in the Interop summary. Run it explicitly with just test media --media-cases replacement. A new child quest, replacement audio, owns the root cause and the restore.

No scheduled Interop run is newer than 43606836954 (2026-11-14), so the quest stays open until the next scheduled run passes. #8754 and #8731 landed after it.

Validation

  • quest gate just test media --media-cases replacement in a loop on a loaded host: 1 of 8 failed (lite-06 fallback, audioStalled:true, skipping missing groups on audio before it), then 2 of 12 (a lite-07 fallback and a lite-06 live replacement plays), then 0 of 31 once I added a per-frame console.warn (a timing race; that instrumentation is not in the PR).
  • One failing lite-07 log, timed: the incumbent's audio subscription was ok 298 ms after the stop, its first group was 69 (about 1 s of retained audio behind the live picture), and 600 ms later at the 1039 ms bound the ring was still stalled. Details are in the child quest.
  • After the change, just test media passes with SKIP chromium: media output + lifecycle: replacement; just check passes.

Decisions

Made without asking (AFK), for review:

  • Quarantine replacement on every engine instead of holding the pass for a root cause. Recommend keeping: the flake is 10 to 25% on a loaded host and a red scheduled run hides new breaks. Alternative: leave it in and accept red runs while the child quest works.
  • Fix the child's bound question later (a load term versus a join at the live edge) rather than loosening the 1039 ms bound here.

Follow-ups

  • replacement audio (new, M): root-cause the audio stall after a route switch and restore the case. No open decisions.

Caused by

  • moq-dev/moq#8443 - dropped the Chromium quarantine of replacement while the audio stall after fallback was open (found by check).

Public API and wire

None.

  • Quarantine on every engine: test/interop/clients/js/media.ts now drops replacement from the default non-native case list regardless of player. The QUARANTINE line is emitted whenever cases are not explicitly selected and the run is not native. An explicit --media-cases still runs it.
  • Docs: test/interop/README.md describes the all-engine quarantine and the explicit run command.
  • Quest files: the interop-green README records the decision, and the new replacement-audio.md child quest owns the root cause and the restore.

Walkthrough

The replacement case is now excluded from default fixture runs on every engine. Non-native runs without an explicit case selection display an updated quarantine notice. The documentation records intermittent audio stalls, the decision to quarantine the case on every engine, and instructions for running it explicitly. The case’s assertions remain active.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 7aee8

The replacement media case is now skipped by default on every engine. One README command for running it on Firefox would silently skip it and should be corrected, but the fix is small and has no production impact.

Include the case selection in the Firefox command.

--media-engines firefox alone runs the default selection, which skips replacement. Use just test media --media-cases replacement --media-engines firefox to run the case on Firefox.
