Problem

The Codex review of #5386 found that WHEP and HLS export still serve renditions the catalog marks enabled: false, which the hang draft says a consumer MUST NOT select. #5273 fixed moq play, moqsrc, and the FFI/C consumers, but missed the egresses. This already affects manual disable and simulcast rung disable, and will affect a failed rendition once the rendition-failure quest lands. The rung-disable quest wrongly claimed native consumers already skip disabled renditions.

Approach

• New quest/m1/egress-enabled.md ([L]), ranked just above simulcast rung disable. It lists each consumer's current state and records the maintainer's decisions.
• Still serving disabled renditions: WHEP (ranked() pick from a session-start snapshot), HLS/DASH export (sync registers every rendition), and the moq-mux exports behind moq subscribe, RTMP play/dial, and SRT play (select::Broadcast, Annex-B first-by-name, FLV, fMP4, MKV, TS).
• Already correct: moq play, moqsrc, moq-ffi/moq-c, moq-transcode.
• Corrects the claim in quest/m1/simulcast-rung-disable.md and links the new quest.

Decisions (accepted by the maintainer, 2026-10-13)

1. Where the rule lives
   • ✅ In moq-mux beside supported in select::Broadcast and each export's catalog intake; no new hang API, since Video::enabled()/Audio::enabled() exist
   • Per-consumer checks in each export
2. Muxed exports (fMP4, MKV, TS, multitrack FLV/RTMP)
   • ✅ Only enabled renditions go in the header; after the header a disabled rendition keeps its track, idle until it re-enables, and a rendition first enabled after the header follows the format's added-track rule (picked 2026-10-13 after the Codex review showed MKV errors on a post-header removal)
   • Keep disabled renditions as idle tracks from the start; only single-rendition picks skip them
   • Drop a disabled rendition like a removed one, so MKV ends on a disable
3. HLS and DASH
   • ✅ Omit from the multivariant playlist and manifest, keep the media playlist and window serving
   • Close it like a removed rendition (EXT-X-ENDLIST)
4. WHEP on re-enable
   • ✅ Always serve the best enabled rendition, so a re-enabled top rung wins back
   • Stick to the current rendition, as moq play does
5. Relationship to simulcast rung disable
   • ✅ Related, ranked just above it; rung disable stays ready
   • Required, blocking rung disable

Impact

• None (quests only). The planned work expects no wire change and no public API beyond select::Broadcast's documented behavior.

Alternatives

• Folding this into the rendition-failure quest (quest(m1): plan rendition failure isolation and record an empty-group largest #5386); declined there, since the gap predates it and affects every disabled rendition.

Follow-ups

• Once quest(m1): plan rendition failure isolation and record an empty-group largest #5386 merges, link quest/m1/rendition-failure.md to this quest instead of its inline note about the WHEP and HLS gap.

Rework the mid-stream mux removal decision

When a rendition is disabled after container headers have been emitted, the existing removal paths cannot implement the promised drop-and-restore behavior. mkv::Export::update_catalog returns HeaderRemovedTrack for any post-header removal, while fMP4 deliberately retains the declared track without a source so it can return, and FLV continues reading a bound track that leaves the catalog. Filtering disabled renditions at catalog intake would therefore terminate MKV exports or leave other formats idle instead of restoring the track, so the quest needs format-specific semantics before prescribing this approach and regression test.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

[kixelated]

Agreed, and verified: MKV returns HeaderRemovedTrack on a post-header removal, fMP4 keeps a declared track idle and can rejoin it but refuses a track first added after init (TrackAdded), and FLV keeps reading its bound track. So "drop a disabled rendition the way a removed one is dropped" would end MKV exports on any rung disable. This changes an accepted decision, so I left decision 2 unchanged and sent it back to the maintainer. My recommendation: a muxed export declares only enabled renditions in its header. After the header, a disabled rendition's declared track goes idle and resumes when it re-enables, and a rendition first enabled after the header follows each format's existing added-track rule.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed 78deef2. Centralizing selection and preserving HLS history are sensible directions. I independently confirmed the existing mux-removal finding at quest/m1/egress-enabled.md:53–55: the plan needs format-specific behavior for immutable container headers before promising drop-and-restore. No additional independent findings.

Static review of the complete documentation patch and relevant repository code only; no tests run. This PR itself changes no runtime API or wire format.

Walkthrough

Adds a proposal for native egress to treat renditions with enabled: false as absent across WHEP, HLS/DASH, and moq-mux exports. The proposal describes responding to enabled-state changes and lists expected tests, documentation updates, and API expectations. The milestone plan adds this work above simulcast rung disable. The related quest clarifies that some consumers skip disabled renditions while WHEP, HLS, and moq-mux exports continue serving them until native egress support is implemented.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 78dee

The plan gives conflicting sequencing guidance and overstates FFI behavior, which may confuse implementation planning. Runtime behavior is unchanged, so the remaining merge risk is limited to the documentation.

- Around line 67-68: Update the rationale in the quest/m1 README to distinguish
simulcast publisher readiness from end-to-end viewer protection: publisher work
can proceed independently, but preventing disabled rungs from stranding WHEP,
HLS, and moq-mux viewers still depends on native egress. Alternatively, mark the
older dependency statement as superseded.

Review comments at @quest/m1/simulcast-rung-disable.md:
- Line 12: Update the FFI consumer statement to clarify that the FFI APIs expose
`enabled` to the application and `moq-c` rejects a selected disabled rendition
without choosing an enabled fallback. Preserve the surrounding WHEP and HLS
discussion.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed 13441f7. The updated mux policy in quest/m1/egress-enabled.md:53–58 addresses the earlier immutable-header concern: declared tracks idle and resume, while first-time additions follow each format’s restrictions. The corresponding test expectations now match that direction. No additional actionable findings.

Static review of the documentation changes against the previously inspected exporter behavior; no tests run. No runtime API or wire changes in this PR.

Merge summary:

• Adds quest/m1/egress-enabled.md ([L]): WHEP, HLS/DASH export, and the moq-mux exports skip enabled: false renditions and follow flips. It ranks just above simulcast rung disable in m1.
• Corrects the rung-disable quest. @moq/watch, moq play, and moqsrc skip disabled renditions. moq-ffi and moq-c refuse to subscribe one and leave the fallback to the app. The egresses wait on the new quest.
• Maintainer decisions (2026-10-13):
  1. The rule goes in moq-mux's existing filters.
  2. Muxed exports put only enabled renditions in the header. After the header, a disabled rendition's track idles until it re-enables, and a newly enabled one follows the format's added-track rule.
  3. HLS/DASH omit a disabled rendition from the multivariant playlist and the manifest but keep its media playlist serving.
  4. WHEP always serves the best enabled rendition.
  5. The link to rung disable is Related, not Required.
• Reviews: the Codex mux-header finding is resolved by decision 2, the two CodeRabbit findings are fixed, and OpenAI reviewed head 13441f7 with no findings.
• Follow-up: once quest(m1): plan rendition failure isolation and record an empty-group largest #5386 merges, link quest/m1/rendition-failure.md to this quest.
