Summary

Finishes quest/m1/ts-late-pmt.md (deleted here).

Under moq import ts --program all, a program the PAT lists whose PMT misses the 0.5 s TR 101 290 PMT_error_2 bound no longer ends every program's broadcast. Instead (rs/moq-mux/src/container/ts/programs.rs):

• The program is marked late, with one warn naming it and its PMT PID.
• Each 0.5 s of program clock its PMT PID carries no PMT section counts in stats::Snapshot::pmt_error (the import's health), on the same per-PID terms a single-program import times a PMT PID.
• Its PIDs count as unclaimed (refused), as the quest asked; before it is late they stay uncounted since they may still be its.
• Every other program keeps publishing, and the late one starts whenever its PMT arrives.

doc/bin/ts.md now says the late program is reported while the others publish, matching the Loss section's "feed health ... is logged and reported without changing what publishes".

Decisions

• Taken while AFK: PMT_error_2 for a waiting program is counted per PMT PID, reset by any PMT section on it, as TR 101 290 defines it and as a single-program import already times it. So a PID several programs share counts once. Where a running program already reads its PMT on that PID, that program counts the PID and the waiting timer counts nothing, so there's no double count (a_late_pmt_on_a_running_programs_pid_counts_once). A downside: a program whose PMT is missing from a PID that still carries another program's PMT gets the warn but no counter. The alternative is to count per program, which strays from the TR 101 290 definition and double-counts a silent shared PID.
• Taken while AFK: a late program stays late until its PMT arrives or a later PAT moves it. A move restarts its 0.5 s wait, as before.

Validation

• Unit tests:
  • a_late_pmt_ends_only_its_own_program (replaces the old refusal test). Program 3 goes late at the first packet past 0.5 s and then counts once per 0.5 s. Its ES PID counts as refused only after it is late. Program 1 keeps running, and program 3 starts once its PMT arrives.
  • a_late_pmt_on_a_running_programs_pid_counts_once is a differential check against the same feed with only the running program listed. With the dedup disabled it fails (6 vs 3).
• just check passes.
• Real binary: I built a two-program MPTS with ffmpeg and dropped program 2's PMT PID (0x1001) with tsp -P filter --negate. I fed it paced through tsp -P regulate into moq --listen-unix-bind ... import --broadcast event.hang ts --program all, and ran moq announced against it.
  • event/1.hang was announced and published until the input ended.
  • The log warned program=2 pmt_pid=4097 once.
  • The TR 101 290 line's pmt_error climbed about 2/s (5, 7, 9 ... 15 over 8 s), and program 2's PIDs 258 and 259 counted as refused.
  • The unmodified MPTS reports pmt_error=0. The nonzero pcr_repetition_error comes from ffmpeg's sparse PCR and shows up on both inputs.

Public API

None (internal behavior of ts::Programs; pmt_error already existed). Wire: none.

Caused by

• moq-dev/moq#6252: made a late PMT refuse the whole multiplex, which contradicts the guide's Loss section (found by reviewer: the m3 feature review)

Follow-ups

None.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed the whole PR. It changes ts::Programs so that a late PMT under --program all is reported and the other programs keep running, where before it ended the import.

• Late programs instead of refusal: Wait::Late replaces the late() error. expire() logs one warn per program when it goes late, and the program starts whenever its PMT arrives.
• Per-PID PMT_error_2 for waiting PIDs: Waiting::section times each waiting PMT PID. expire() counts intervals with the same (silent - 1) / limit arithmetic as health::Timer::expired, and skips the count when a running program already owns the (pid, Checks::Table) tally. Clock::ticks only moves forward, so now - waiting.section cannot underflow.
• Unclaimed counting gate: joining now holds counting back only while a program is still within its wait, so a late program's PIDs count as refused.
• Described-only waits are now timed too: deadline stays Some while any waiting entry exists, so a described program's PMT PID that goes silent also counts PMT_error_2.
• Docs and tests: doc/bin/ts.md matches the Loss section now. Two tests cover the late path and the shared-PID dedup.

[pullfrog]

waiting.section only resets after a PMT section passes the CRC check. The single-program timer resets on any packet that starts a table_id 0x02 section, before any CRC check (Health::packet). So if every PMT on a waiting PID fails its CRC, the import counts both CRC_error and PMT_error_2. A running PID in the same state counts only CRC_error. That breaks the PR's claim that both are timed on the same per-PID terms. Moving the reset above the crc_ok check, right after the table_id check, would make them match.

Walkthrough

A late PMT no longer causes the multiplex to be rejected. After the program-clock threshold, the affected program becomes late, its PIDs count as unclaimed, and PMT error intervals are reported when no running program is timing that PMT PID. Other programs continue. If the late program’s PMT arrives with streams, the program starts. Tests and documentation describe these changes.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 42bc9

A late PMT now affects only its own program, and the other programs keep publishing. In a rare handoff between programs sharing a PMT PID, the PMT error count can be delayed or undercounted. This only affects health reporting and does not block merging, though the owner should know about it.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a late PMT under --program all ends only its own program rather than every program's broadcast. It matches the programs.rs behavior change and the doc update. It follows the conventional-commit style and is specific enough for history scanning.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the purpose (finishing the late-PMT quest), the behavior change in programs.rs, the doc update in doc/bin/ts.md, the unit tests, the decisions taken, and the real-binary validation. It is directly related to the changeset.

Preserve the PMT interval across a running-to-waiting handoff.

Suppose program 1 last sends its PMT on PID 0x100 at 0 ms. At 400 ms, a PAT adds program 2 on the same PID. This initializes Waiting.section to 400 ms. If a PAT retires program 1 at 450 ms, retire() preserves its completed counts but does not transfer its pending PMT timer to Waiting.

With another program's clock continuing, this delays the first error from 501 ms to 901 ms. If program 2's PMT arrives at 800 ms, the waiting group disappears and the entire missing interval remains uncounted. The running health timer would count that interval. Preserve and rebase the pending PID timer when accounting moves between a running program and Waiting. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
