Intra-refresh (opt-in PUNKTFUNK_INTRA_REFRESH=1 until on-glass
validated): NVENC runs a moving intra band + recovery-point SEI
(gop_size becomes the wave period, ffmpeg forces the real GOP infinite;
default fps/2, PUNKTFUNK_IR_PERIOD_FRAMES overrides; ENOSYS latches a
fallback to IDR-only). Clients request a keyframe on every
FEC-unrecoverable frame, so under intra-refresh the session glue serves
the first request instantly and suppresses the rest for a 2s window —
the wave heals loss without the 20-40x IDR spike cascade. VAAPI/software
keep IDR recovery.
Instrumentation: the wire pts now anchors at the PipeWire delivery stamp
(client-measured latency covers delivery + queue age, not just
submit->glass; repeats/synthetic stamps fall back to now), encode_us
keeps its submit->AU meaning via a separate inflight stamp, and a new
'queue' stage (delivery->submit age of fresh frames) rides
PUNKTFUNK_PERF and the web-console stats samples.
