Found by the first live session on .21: the host negotiated PyroWave and put codec=8 on the wire, but Welcome::decode's codec whitelist (H264/AV1, else HEVC — the corrupt-byte guard) folded it to HEVC, so the client opened an FFmpeg HEVC decoder against wavelet AUs. Roundtrip test now pins the pyrowave byte (and that a genuinely unknown future bit still folds to the HEVC default). With the fix the Phase-2 exit session runs END TO END on .21 (host + session client on one box, host capturing the GNOME virtual display, client presenting into a headless weston): negotiated codec=PyroWave (adv 0x0f) → PyroWave encoder (CPU-capture path — this box's Mutter+NVIDIA rejects the LINEAR-dmabuf offer) → wire → PyroWave decoder on the presenter's device → planar CSC. Static desktop: stable 60 fps, e2e 2.1-4.1 ms p50 (p95 <= 6 ms), decode 0.2-0.6 ms, vs HEVC/NVENC-direct baseline 2.1 ms — parity at idle. Full-window motion: 60 fps at ~80 Mb/s all-intra (HEVC ~7), decode still sub-ms, zero decode errors or keyframe-request chatter across every run. Deeper motion/loss characterization needs a dmabuf-accepting host box (this one is capped by the CPU capture path). Also retires the stale "no shipping client decodes this" wording in the host encoder/dispatch logs — the negotiation exists now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
