The decode loop used to hold every access unit until its last wire packet landed. With slice-progressive delivery (frame_parts) each newly contiguous piece now goes straight into MediaCodec under BUFFER_FLAG_PARTIAL_FRAME, the closing piece drops the flag, and the decoder chews the front of the frame while its tail is still on the wire. Feeding partial input means owning its failure modes without a codec flush: a broken sequence (dropped piece, orphan, oversize) closes the dead AU with an empty non-partial buffer at its own pts, arms the re-anchor freeze so the concealed output never reaches glass, and requests a recovery keyframe - the same machinery ordinary loss already rides. Per-AU accounting keeps its units: the RFI gap detector notes an AU once, and the HUD stamps, host/network split and the phase-lock arrival sensor ride only the completing delivery. The opt-in is decoder truth and loop truth: every decoder this device would use must pass FEATURE_PartialFrame, and only the async loop may see parts - the legacy sync loop feeds whole AUs and stays that way. Smoke-checked on-glass (NP3 vs the Windows host): byte-identical degenerate path, presenter profile unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
