Claims quest/m0/windows-host.md.

Problem

The quest planned to reboot nixos2 into Windows and reach it over ssh. On 2026-11-10 the maintainer decided the windows PC becomes the Windows host instead. Agents already run on it natively through T3 Code, and nixos2 is offline in Tailscale.

Approach

• Rewrote the quest around the windows PC: recorded the decision (it replaces the 2026-11-06 nixos2 plan), what the host has, and what is left.
• Renamed the Studio on Windows link to the new title. No other quest names nixos2 as the Windows host (quest/m0/README.md does not).
• Host inventory: Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200, i7-8700, 16 GB RAM, RTX 2070, rustup (stable MSVC default), VS Build Tools 2022 17.14, CMake 4.3, Git 2.43, just 1.52. Installed this session: Rust 1.98.1, which rustup pulled in from rust-toolchain.toml. I installed nothing else, since the build never got to the point of showing what was missing.
• Capture devices: no camera. The only audio inputs are virtual (Steam Streaming Microphone, VB-Audio Virtual Cable).

The build did not run. quest gate cargo build -p moq-studio --features capture waited almost two hours for free memory and never started. The gate needs min(4 GiB, RAM/4) available, and this PC stayed at 2.6 to 3.1 GB, with OneDrive's sync service alone holding 3 GB. I did not get around the gate, because the repo's rules send expensive builds through it. So the device listing did not run either.

Impact

None for users. These are quest files only.

Alternatives

• Building outside quest gate with a low -j: rejected, because it breaks the repo's gate rule and risks running out of memory (commit headroom was 1.8 GB).
• Keeping a "plug in a real microphone" item: dropped. VB-Audio's CABLE Output is a WASAPI capture endpoint, just like a USB microphone's, so a tone played into CABLE Input tests the same path with a known signal.

Checks

• quest check and quest check --base origin/main pass.
• just ci did not run. This PC has no Nix dev shell, and the gate would hold its cargo steps the same way it held the build. The diff is Markdown only.

Follow-ups

None.

Waits

The RAM and USB-camera items are outside actions, not decisions, and live in the quest file's ## Waiting. The quest stays open with them after this PR lands.

Decisions

• 2026-11-12 (maintainer, /quest-unblock): ✅ land now as a quest update that leaves the quest open with its waits (rejected: keep it a draft until the host work is done).
• RAM wait and camera wait: skipped for now, items unchanged.
• Added to the host notes: on 2026-11-12 windows runs an OpenSSH server (ED25519 host key) but rejects the Linux host's key, so other hosts cannot reach it by ssh. Dropped the Plan's claim that no OpenSSH Server is needed, since one runs.

Validation

No behavior to exercise; quest files only. quest check --base origin/main passes on this branch, which rewrites rather than finishes the quest.

Review

Rewritten by quest review after each round.

• Head: f53dbc8

• Base: origin/main at ea0826b

• Reviewer: Codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort

• Session: 01a1d0a2-bad5-7a90-af71-e279ae09bf07, round 2

• Score: 10/10, The incremental changes clarify the prerequisite wording and identify the Windows execution host consistently with the existing plan, with no actionable defects.

• Findings: none

• Reviewer: opencode, opencode-go/deepseek-v4.1-flash, high effort

• Session: ses_e2f5d415fffe6cQA12p9V7xZ2G, round 2

• Score: 8/10, Both earlier findings are fixed at the head, leaving only minor wording and completeness follow-ups.

• Findings: none

• The last round's findings, at c9b02d7:

  • Fixed: medium, quest/m0/app-windows.md:31: The Windows app quest has no ## Hosts, so it routes as "anywhere"; quest/m0/app-windows.md now has ## Hosts with '- windows - it runs the studio on real Windows hardware', so the Windows app quest routes to the Windows host instead of anywhere.
  • Fixed: medium, quest/m0/windows-host.md:49: The recorded rationale says the CI build quest needs this host, which the tree says it does not; The parenthetical at quest/m0/windows-host.md:49 now says the CI build quest would make this quest its prerequisite, which no longer claims the CI quest needs this host and matches windows-build.md:12-15.

Walkthrough

The quest documentation identifies the maintainer’s Windows PC as the Windows agent host instead of describing a rebooted nixos2 system and SSH setup. It records the PC’s tools and devices, the agent build and device-enumeration steps, and the remaining requirements to keep 4 GiB available and connect a USB camera. It also assigns all host build errors to the Windows host quest.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review c9b02

This change only updates documentation that identifies the Windows PC as the Windows agent host. It does not change production behavior and carries no merge-blocking risk.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the change: the Windows PC (windows) replaces nixos2 as the Windows host in the windows-host quest. The changeset rewrites that quest and updates the app-windows link to match, so the title matches the main change. It is slightly long at 74 characters, but it is specific and accurate.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states that the quest was rewritten to make the Windows PC the Windows host instead of nixos2, cites the decision, host inventory, the failed gate-blocked build, and the link rename in app-windows.md. It is specific and directly related to the changeset, so it is not off-topic or vague.

Design change: after review round 3 kept flagging the split between host build errors and CI-shown ones, the maintainer chose that this quest owns every build error on the windows host (rejected: requiring the CI build quest, which #129 deletes; merging the split as is). The review restarts with new sessions.
