The Automatic bitrate controller only reacted to network signals (loss, capture→received OWD, FEC-unrecoverable frames, jump-to-live flush), so on a fast LAN feeding a slower mobile HW decoder it slow-started straight to the link-probe ceiling and parked there — backlogging frames inside the decoder, where those signals never register, and choking it. Reported on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1: Automatic pinned ~500 Mbps with unusable latency. Feed the client's decode-stage latency (received→decoded) into the controller as a first-class signal, symmetric with the existing OWD one: a rise over its rolling-min baseline ends the slow-start climb and, sustained over two windows, backs the rate ×0.7 down to the real decode limit — so Automatic settles where the decoder keeps up. - core/abr: on_window gains decode_mean_us; a decode_means rolling-min baseline + DECODE_RISE_US (15 ms) fold a decode rise into the bad-window logic. - core/client: per-frame report_decode_us accumulator, drained to a window mean by the data-plane pump; wants_decode_latency() gate (Automatic, non-PyroWave) lets embedders skip the measurement where it's ignored. Re-target log prints the driving signals. - android/decode: report the decode stage on both the sync and async decode paths, HUD-independent, measured from the AU leaving next_frame (so codec-input backpressure is included) and excluding the vsync present wait. Apple/Windows report_decode_us calls to follow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
