enricobuehler 83cfabda89 feat(vkdecode): M7's Vulkan CPU half — AV1 into the Std structures
The sequence header and the picture info, converted for
VK_KHR_video_decode_av1. Same shape as the H.264 and H.265 conversions, and
the same ownership contract: boxed backing beside the Std struct that points
at it, movable wrapper, no mutation, not Clone.

AV1 puts almost the whole frame header in the PICTURE info rather than in a
parameter set, so StdVideoDecodeAV1PictureInfo carries eight pointers to
per-frame blocks — tile info, quantisation, segmentation, loop filter, CDEF,
loop restoration, global motion, film grain — and the tile info carries four
more arrays of its own. Session parameters, by contrast, hold exactly one
sequence header. That asymmetry is why params_av1 is the small module here
and pic_av1 the large one.

The plan now carries the parsed frame header whole. The client needs a
digest — size, depth, colour, keyframe — but a backend needs nearly all of
the header, so AuPlan carries it the way its H.264 and H.265 siblings carry
their activated parameter sets: a backend builds from exactly what was
parsed, never by re-reading the access unit.

referenceNameSlotIndices holds DPB SLOT indices, not positions in the
reference list, and that is the HEVC RPS defect's exact shape in a narrower
place. Measured rather than argued: over the vendored vector the two
readings disagree 566 times across 274 frames, and the test fails if they
ever stop disagreeing, because then it would no longer be able to tell the
conventions apart.

Two places where transcription would have been wrong, both caught by the
types and then by asking the spec:

The parser's film-grain point arrays are 16 entries where the Std ones are
14 (luma) and 10 (chroma) — the spec's own maxima. The counts are validated
against the Std capacity and the copy is bounded by them; a stream declaring
more is refused, because a decoder handed fewer scaling points than the
stream declared synthesises different grain.

`coded_denom` is the superres denominator less SUPERRES_DENOM_MIN and only
meaningful where superres is in use, and `UsesLr` is derived — no frame
header codes it — from whether any plane's restoration type is not NONE.

Film grain rides only where the sequence enables it AND the frame applies
it, with the apply_grain flag set from whether a block is attached, so the
flag and the pointer cannot disagree.

enricobuehler 7f83ec6c2f feat(bitstream): M7 begins — the AV1 planner, and it plans frames the stream hides
The third planner in this crate, and the foundation every AV1 rung will
consume. Same contract as its H.264 and H.265 siblings: an access unit in, a
plan out, with the vendored cros-codecs parser reading the bitstream and this
module owning the reference ledger, the output bookkeeping and the
concealment posture.

AV1's reference model is simpler than H.264's and entirely explicit — eight
numbered slots, `ref_frame_idx` naming what a frame reads and
`refresh_frame_flags` naming what it writes — so the planner is bookkeeping
rather than derivation, and a frame naming an empty slot is a lost reference
with no spec process that might legitimately have emptied it.

Two things measurement changed, both before a line of backend code depends on
them.

`plan_au` returns a VECTOR. An AV1 temporal unit may carry several frames,
and the vendored vector does: 250 units, 274 frames, 24 units carrying two.
Measured, those 24 extras are not `show_existing_frame` (there are none in
this vector) but HIDDEN frames — decoded, never displayed, referenced later.
A planner that took the last header in each unit would have decoded 250
frames and silently dropped 24 REFERENCES, and the damage would have
surfaced as missing-reference concealment on frames that were never damaged.

A picture is not removed until its LAST slot goes. One picture routinely
occupies several slots at once — a key frame refreshes all eight — so a slot
being overwritten does not mean its picture is gone. Reporting it removed
would free a surface under a live reference, which is precisely the shape
this program exists to catch. Tested directly, and asserted to report once
rather than once per slot.

What this does not cover is written down rather than left to be assumed: the
vector uses `show_existing_frame` zero times, so the display-only path and
its key-frame slot reset are exercised by no test here, and the test asserts
that count is zero so the day it changes the claim gets revisited.

Per-backend conversions are deliberately absent. Vulkan, DXVA and libva
disagree about what a reference list indexes — the disagreement that made
HEVC unplayable on every driver — so each belongs beside its siblings in
pf-vkdecode / pf-dxvadec / pf-vaadec, where its own convention is written
down and tested.

enricobuehler 31087697a9 feat(client): M5 — native D3D11VA decode, pin-only pending hardware
The Windows fallback rung, and auto's first choice on Intel, now has a
native implementation driven by pf-bitstream's plans instead of
libavcodec. New crate pf-dxvadec holds everything that can be a pure
function — the DXVA structure layouts, both codec conversions, bitstream
packing, config selection — deliberately CROSS-PLATFORM, because a
cfg(windows) module is verified by a remote cargo check and nothing
else, and this milestone's riskiest code is exactly the part no local
test can see. Only the FFI lives in video_d3d11_native.rs.

windows-rs does not generate dxva.h at the pinned rev, so the DXVA
structures are hand-declared: compile-time assertions on every struct
size AND every field offset, packed bitfield words as plain integers
with named builders and the bit positions written beside the C
declaration, and a const zeroed() per struct so construction needs no
unsafe at all. The crate's only unsafe is a sealed byte view over those
PODs. Review round 13 checked all seven layouts field by field in
declaration order — sizes, widths, array lengths, the PicEntry
index/flag packing, and every named bit's position and width.

The decode pool reproduces libavcodec's rather than inventing one:
ONE texture with ArraySize = pool size, BIND_DECODER and nothing else,
MiscFlags 0, aligned 16 for H.264 and 128 for HEVC. That is deliberate.
This rung's predecessor records that a hand-built pool which validated
on NVIDIA was rejected by Intel at the first SubmitDecoderBuffers — and
Intel is the vendor this rung exists for. The VideoProcessorBlt into
shareable RGBA is untouched: importing a multiplanar NV12 D3D11 texture
into Vulkan device-losts on NVIDIA, so that hand-off is load-bearing
field-proven code. It was extracted into a shared HandoffRing so both
rungs fill one implementation; the review diffed the blit statement by
statement, including the keyed-mutex pairing.

Review round 13's four defects are fixed. The blocking one: the HEVC
quantisation matrix was submitted unconditionally, and the vendored
parser leaves it ALL ZEROS unless the stream codes one — unlike FFmpeg,
which seeds the spec defaults. On a stream saying 'use the default
matrices' the driver is obliged to apply what it is handed, so every
residual would dequantise to zero and the picture would drift to flat
prediction. It is now gated on scaling_list_enabled_flag exactly as
libav gates it, with the Table 7-5/7-6 defaults supplied when enabled
but uncoded.

Second: NumMBsInBuffer was 0 where libav's H.264 path sets
mb_width * mb_height. This module's whole method is verbatim
reproduction on precisely the call that once failed for Intel, so an
omitted descriptor field is the same class of bug as the pool.

Third, and the one to watch on hardware: RefFrameList carried the
frame's reference set rather than the pictures marked used for
reference. Vulkan defines pReferenceSlots as the slots this operation
uses, so a subset is correct there; DXVA defines RefFrameList as a
statement about the DPB. The list DERIVATION survives a subset — which
is exactly why a smoke test would have passed — but a long-term
reference held across frames that none of them name would vanish and
reappear, and a driver keeping per-reference state is entitled to
discard it in between. That is the Ally X symptom shape. pf-bitstream
now exposes a per-AU DPB snapshot for both codecs and the converters
build the array from it, frame references first, marked tail appended.
121 of the 250 vendored AUs carry a marked picture the frame never
names, so this is exercised, not theoretical.

Fourth: the session identity omitted bit depth and chroma, while the
Windows host flips an HDR desktop to PQ in-band with a new SPS — a
depth change at unchanged size would have decoded 10-bit samples into
an NV12 pool. Identity now derives from the SPS per AU and rebuilds.

Wired PIN-ONLY (PUNKTFUNK_DECODER=native-d3d11va), absent from every
auto arm. Nothing has decoded a frame yet, and M2's discipline was that
auto admission comes only after hardware parity. A runtime streak
demotes to the FFmpeg D3D11VA rung first, then software.

Also scaffolded: a byte-diff harness against libavcodec's own DXVA
picture parameters, with the FFmpeg patch and capture recipe in its
docs. Nothing here is checked against libav's actual bytes the way M3
was checked against its pixels, and that is the cheap way to buy the
confidence before hardware.

enricobuehler c985438db1 test(pf-bitstream): replay real host captures through the planners + HEVC goldens
M0's capture hook has been in since 119ec0dd with nothing consuming its
output. corpus_replay.rs is that consumer: point PF_CORPUS at an
au-<stamp>.<codec> capture and every AU walks back through the H.264 or
H.265 planner, asserting no errors and no warnings — a clean capture of
a healthy session must plan whole. Ignored by default (captures are
hundreds of MB and live outside the repo).

It earns its keep immediately. Captured on .173 against the live host
(NVENC, 2800x1260, ~30 s each, client-side codec pin only — no host
config touched):

  h265  1133/1133 AUs planned, 0 errors, 0 warnings
  h264  1514/1514 AUs planned, 0 errors, 0 warnings

The HEVC number is the point: it is the FIRST validation of the WP-1
h265 planner against real host output rather than the vendored
conformance vectors, and it lands before the client's HEVC rung exists
to produce on-glass evidence.

Two real-capture facts the harness had to learn, both from this run:
ending a capture means killing the client, so the final .idx line is
routinely half-written and the final AU's bytes may not all have landed.
Both are tolerated at the TAIL only — a malformed line anywhere else, or
a gap the data cannot cover mid-file, still fails loudly rather than
silently replaying a subset.

Also adds tests/data/test-25fps-h265.nv12.sha256: 250 per-frame NV12
hashes of the vendored HEVC vector from libavcodec's software decoder,
cross-checked frame-for-frame between two independent FFmpeg builds
(8.0.1 in pf-lxcheck2, 8.1.1 from Homebrew) — the sibling of the H.264
goldens, ready for WP-2's parity leg.

Gates: fmt clean; pf-bitstream clippy clean, 69 tests green (the replay
stays ignored in normal runs).

enricobuehler 55bc664eca docs(pf-bitstream): the two upstream cros-codecs bugs are now reported
PROVENANCE deviations #6 and #7 carried 'report upstream' — done:
- chromeos/cros-codecs#99: h264 PictureData display_resolution
  double-counts the left/top crop and underflow-panics on
  parser-valid crop offsets (answers their open #81).
- chromeos/cros-codecs#100: h265 parse_slice_header index-OOB panic
  when num_long_term_sps + num_long_term_pics > 16 — a hostile-input
  panic on the LTR path (an instance of their #78).

Both reports offer the downstream patch for the AOSP tree.

enricobuehler cf5db2d485 feat(pf-bitstream): H.265 DecodePlan layer — M3's AU-to-hardware contract
H265Planner mirrors the H.264 layer's contract exactly: plan_au -> AuPlan
{ picture, slices with ref lists by stable PicId, DpbUpdate, warnings },
same concealment posture (warnings never abort, in-place reference
substitution preserving ref_idx positions, outputs survive failed AUs,
flush gates on AwaitingIdr, any IRAP resumes). Ported logic: RPS 8.3.2
(short-term AND long-term incl. PocLsbLt/MSB-cycle - the hosts' RFI
recovery rides long-term refs), ref lists 8.3.3/8.3.4, DPB C.5.2.2/C.5.2.3
via the vendored dpb; POC 8.3.1 from the vendored PictureData. Written
fresh: the plan surface, AU walk, envelope gates (multilayer, interlaced,
SCC self-reference, DPB>16, conf-window overflow - checked at EVERY
activation, not just parse), HEVC recovery-point SEI (prefix NALU 39,
se(v) recovery_poc_cnt), VUI colour with E.3.1 inference, and a test-only
HEVC bitstream synthesizer (upstream has none).

Upstream deviations worth naming (all in-code with spec anchors): the
empty-RPS inter slice cannot infinite-loop (upstream bug); RASL behind a
joined CRA refuses BEFORE any state change (PlanError::RaslSkipped - the
WP-2 wiring must map it to skip, not reanchor; module docs carry the
contract note); MaxPicOrderCntLsb reads from the ACTIVATING SPS (upstream
latches at parse - a latent multi-SPS bug); C.5.2.2's exemption is
picture 0 of the BITSTREAM (EobNut), never first-after-EOS.

Vendored parser gained PROVENANCE deviation 7 (report upstream): hostile
slice headers with num_long_term_sps+num_long_term_pics > 16 indexed out
of bounds of SliceHeader's [_;16] arrays - a production panic on exactly
the long-term-reference path, now a parse error.

Port review round 7: 10 findings (3 blocking: the vendor panic, an
EOS-boundary output interleave, an envelope bypass through PPS-only SPS
rebind reaching wrapping crop arithmetic) - 9 fixed with a regression
test each, 1 documented as the WP-2 contract note. Known follow-up: the
h264 AU-tail truncation detector shares h265's dead-arm shape (its arm
also cuts reserved NALU types, so the fix is not identical - deferred).

Tests: 29 h265 planner + 2 HEVC SEI + full test-25fps.h265/bear/bbb clip
walks with real invariants (every stored id output exactly once,
ascending POC per IRAP period). Gates: fmt clean; clippy -D warnings zero
(mac + pf-lxcheck2 incl. pf-client-core/pf-presenter); tests 45+69 mac,
69+121+53 container.

enricobuehler dc0766b2f3 fix(client): the native rung now follows the stream's colour and reports true decode latency
The round-4 residuals, closed after the WP-D hardware verdict:

- VUI colour plumbing (the one silent-wrong): the picture's ACTIVE SPS's
  colour signalling (H.273 code points + range, with E.2.1's 'unspecified'
  inference where the VUI is silent — the vendored parser's defaults ARE the
  inferred values, verified) rides PicturePlan -> DecodedVkFrame ->
  NativeVkFrame per frame, never latched: the Windows host switches an HDR
  desktop to PQ/BT.2020 IN-BAND while the Welcome still says SDR. Before
  this, the native path would have painted PQ washed out, silently.
- Native decode-latency stat: the deliberately-deferred NativeVk arm of the
  pump's sampled once-per-stats-window decode measurement now feeds - the
  frame's (semaphore, semaphore_value) is the decode-done signal, resolved
  through the shipped ledger before a bounded, pure-measurement
  vkWaitSemaphores (VkH264Decoder::wait_decoded).
- The renegotiation-teardown window is settled as NO HOLE: rebuild_state now
  documents the full safety argument (graveyarded pools stay intact under
  presenter holds, tokens route strictly by generation, session objects die
  only post-drain with the generation gate INSIDE read_status), and the two
  backend comments that wrongly claimed stale pools were 'gone' are fixed.
- VK_KHR_unified_image_layouts stays deferred (fleet drivers lack it).

Adversarial review round 6: 3 minor findings (2 doc fixes applied; the
SPS-replaced-without-PPS-resend divergence stays a documented envelope
assumption - hosts re-send both at every keyframe, and a hardening
PlanWarning could cost real frames on a false positive).

Gates: fmt clean; clippy -D warnings zero (mac + pf-lxcheck2 container,
incl. pf-client-core/pf-presenter); tests 45+30+53 mac, 30+121+53 container.

enricobuehler 540c0d3027 feat(pf-vkdecode): the GPU half — session, DPB pools, decode recording, status queries
M2 WP-B. VkVideoSessionKHR lifecycle with drain-before-destroy on
parameters recreation, DPB pools in both coincide and distinct modes
(caps-derived, usage/flags validated against the driver's format
properties), an aligned bitstream ring, vkCmdDecodeVideoKHR recording
with one-shot RESET re-armed on failed submits, timeline-semaphore
completion, and the per-op RESULT_STATUS query ring — the signal
FFmpeg's hwaccel never reads and the reason this program exists.

Frame lifetime is two-phase by construction: release_frame pins a
delivered frame's slot against reuse, closing the coincide-mode
overwrite the adversarial review round proved (a full DPB handed a
just-returned frame's image back as the same call's decode target).
Nine review findings fixed pre-commit; a counterfactual test pins the
collision. Generation-stamped frames, memory-type misses as errors,
granularity-aligned extents, level gate.

AuPlan now carries its activated SPS/PPS (Rc) so backends never
re-parse. GPU smoke test (ignored) decodes 48 AUs past DPB-full with
releases — the fleet runs it in WP-D.

Gates: fmt clean, clippy -D warnings zero, 45+27+53 tests green on
macOS and the linux/amd64 container.

enricobuehler d24f7fc6ac feat(pf-vkdecode): the CPU half of native Vulkan decode — StdVideo conversion + slot map
M2 WP-A (design/client-native-decode.md §3.2). AuPlan -> StdVideo
parameter sets (owned pointer backings), per-AU decode info with slice
start-code offsets, and a PicId->slot map that never evicts on its own.
Deliberate rejections over silent claims: FMO, separate colour planes,
DPBs deeper than 16 frames (unbounded VUI ue(v)) all fail closed.

pf-bitstream API grew what the review proved necessary: RefPic carries
the true top/bottom field order counts (a single poc fabricated
BottomFieldOrderCnt whenever the PPS signals pic-order deltas), the
>16-frame DPB envelope gate, and an MMCO5 rebase warning.

Adversarial review round two: 8 findings fixed pre-commit, including
transactional slot mutation (an error path could permanently desync
the map) and count/pointer coherence on type-1 POC offsets.

Gates: fmt clean, clippy -D warnings zero, 45+26+21 tests green on

enricobuehler 0a359525a7 feat(pf-bitstream): H.264 DecodePlan layer — the AU-to-hardware contract
Adapted from cros-codecs decoder/stateless/h264.rs (POC 8.2.1, ref lists
8.2.4 incl. modification, sliding-window + MMCO/LTR marking 8.2.5,
frame_num-gap handling 8.2.5.2), minus the fd-coupled backend trait.
H264Planner::plan_au maps one wire AU to picture params, per-slice byte
ranges + ref lists keyed by stable PicIds, and a DPB update; recovery-
point SEI parsing is new code (upstream reads no SEI payloads).

Concealment posture, deliberately different from upstream's aborts:
frame_num gaps, failed RPLM/MMCO and mis-split AUs degrade to warnings
the session turns into recovery asks, gap placeholders substitute
in-place so ref_idx mapping never shifts, and DPB outputs queued during
a failed AU survive to the next plan.

An adversarial review round fixed 11 findings before this commit;
one was an upstream cros-codecs bug our conformance-window test exposed
(display_resolution double-subtracts the crop offset and underflow-
panics — PROVENANCE deviation #6, worth reporting upstream).

Gates: fmt clean, clippy -D warnings zero, 45+24 tests green on macOS
and the linux/amd64 container.

enricobuehler 896bb47235 refactor(pf-bitstream): the parser layer is now compiler-enforced unsafe-free
#![forbid(unsafe_code)] on both crates. Upstream's codec module was one
production unsafe away: build_ref_pic_lists turned DPB borrows into
indices via pointer offset_from — same pointer-identity mapping now
expressed as position(ptr::eq) over the <=16-entry DPB (PROVENANCE #5).
Three test-only mem::zeroed() asserts became Default::default(), an
identical value for the all-integer PredWeightTable.

Honest coverage note: build_ref_pic_lists has no callers inside the
vendored subset (its consumer was the non-vendored stateless layer), so
the rewrite is equivalence-by-construction until the DecodePlan layer
exercises it against goldens.

enricobuehler b5e54aea6e feat(client): vendor the cros-codecs parser layer + pf-bitstream skeleton
M1 of design/client-native-decode.md. The vendored snapshot (AOSP mirror
main @ 5ff6d693ffae, BSD-3, PROVENANCE.md) is the codec module only —
H.264/H.265/AV1/VP9 parsers, DPBs and their test vectors, which now run
as 45 conformance tests in our CI. pf-bitstream sits where upstream's
Linux-only decoder::stateless half would and starts with vendor-pinning
smoke tests: a re-sync that shifts parser behavior trips in-tree, not in
a decode session.
