Stacked on #5894 (passthrough cuts on the epoch's grid): the last two commits are this one, the rest that PR.

Problem

Two moq import processes that share an --epoch publish the same clock and timestamps since
#5625, and the same passthrough objects with #5894, but each numbers its groups from its own
start (append_group). On moq-lite 07 a relay resumes a subscription on another route of the same
epoch at the newest group and frame it handed out, so the continuation lands on other media and
moq export ts can end on frame timestamp … below the previous group's start (#4354). It still
does with both publishers reading byte-identical input: on main, a clean exit of the serving
publisher ended an exporter that way in seven of eight runs (below).

Approach

Every media track groups on the catalog clock's one-second grid, when the timebase asks for it.

  • Timebase::align_groups, which the CLI calls next to place when --epoch is shared. It is
    separate from place because a timebase is also placed with no partner to align with (the
    GStreamer sink places one on the wall clock), and a lone publisher should keep its groups.
  • container::grid::Grid. Each second of the catalog clock is a cell, numbered by its index. A
    group opens at the first start in a cell no group has taken (a video keyframe, any audio frame, a
    data unit, a passthrough group start, an fMP4 segment's first fragment) and takes that index as its
    sequence. Later starts in the cell join it, and a cell passed with no start gets an empty group,
    so sequences stay consecutive for the HLS export, the archive and the segmenter. A process
    publishes nothing from the cell it started in, since it may have missed that cell's first start;
    after a break, the cells skipped get no group. A step of more than 60 cells counts as a break, and a
    start fills at most the 60 cells before it, so neither a source that leaps hours ahead nor an
    endless GOP opens a group for every second.
  • container::Producer::with_grid, set on every track Reserved::track makes on an aligned
    timebase (the TS demultiplexer's audio, video, sections and verbatim PES). seek does nothing on
    the grid and cut closes no group, though a video track's cut waits for a keyframe, as a break
    does. The rewind floors move on every start, whether its group opens, joins or is dropped, so a
    rewind ends every importer alike, the one that has published nothing yet included.
  • fMP4 builds its own groups, so each track holds a Grid; seek skips grid tracks. A fragment
    below its track's latest segment start ends the import as a rewind rather than joining the open
    group.
  • Passthrough: the fallback lines are the catalog clock's seconds, each PCR advances the track
    so a second with no start gets its empty group, and a flagged jump starts a group only if its
    second has none. A group that reaches the byte or object bound cannot split without moving the
    partner's numbering, so it ends the import with GroupFullError. A placed timebase that does not
    align groups keeps feat(mux): cut passthrough groups and sections on the epoch's grid #5894's behaviour.
  • A break publishes no marker under aligned groups (a marker group numbered per process would
    split the numbering), only the jump, and restarts every track's grid, a video track's even before
    its first keyframe. The draft states the exception.

Alternatives considered: numbering each group by the catalog microsecond of its first frame keeps
sub-second GOPs apart, but the sequences go sparse, which the HLS export, the archive and the
timeline read as loss.

Impact

  • GOPs shorter than a second merge into one group a second, so a subscriber joins at most a second
    later than the encoder allows.
  • A second with no start gets an empty group: a 2 s GOP publishes an empty group every other second.
  • Each importer, the first included, publishes nothing from the second it started in.
  • No break marker under aligned groups. The draft states the exception; the m2ts section is in
    no published draft.
  • Passthrough: a multiplex above about 64 Mbit/s can reach the 16 MB bound inside one group and end
    the import.
  • The M2ts section's random_access may read false when a fallback start joins a group (the safe
    side).
  • Not in this PR, so it is part of export ts exits with "frame timestamp is below the live edge" when the relay switches to a same-hop standby quickly #4354 rather than its fix: the catalog and timeline tracks still
    number groups per process, and the catalog's history-derived estimates differ between processes.

Results

just check passes, 3,500 tests. In moq-mux on 38190fb, these eleven fail when align_groups does
nothing (1,548 of 1,559 pass); #5625's tests pass either way.

ts::import::test::an_aligned_program_without_video_pts_publishes_its_cues (no video, and video
that sends nothing).

End to end, on this base: one relay on moq-lite 07 (6 s idle timeout); two moq import ts sharing
an --epoch, both reading one received copy of a 120 s broadcast clip, the second started 2 s
later; two moq export ts --delay 1s through the relay. At 15 s the newer publisher gets SIGTERM;
a run counts when that publisher was serving and the relay subscribed the survivor inside the
exporter's delay, which it did 8–13 ms after the signal, from the survivor's newest group. Six runs
per lane and build, twelve where the first six counted fewer than two. The measured head is
477278148, before the review fixes; none of them is on a path this rig reaches (loss, a clock
break before a video track's first keyframe, fMP4, a GOP over a minute, cues without a video PTS).

Lane Build Counted runs Exporters ended Passthrough capture at the switch
TS this PR 3 0 —
TS #5894 alone 4 both, in all 4: frame timestamp … below the previous group's start —
TS main 4 both, in all 4: that rewind in 3, not found or unroutable in 1 —

passthrough main 4 both in 3, one in 1: that rewind the other capture repeats the same 0.6 s

No run on this PR rewound or repeated. In two more of its twelve TS runs the signalled publisher was
serving but the relay never moved the subscription, and both exporters ended on not found. That is
the graceful-exit gap (#2610), as is main's one other failure: at the signal the importer drops its
tracks, and a track whose not found reaches the relay before the broadcast is withdrawn ends at the
subscriber instead of moving. Signalling the idle publisher ended nothing on any build (23 runs).

On the previous base, with SIGKILL, the relay resumed the survivor at the killed publisher's group
and frame, and this PR made that group the same media on both (it asked for a catalog second, where
the other builds asked for the killed publisher's own count). But the resume came only after the
idle timeout, about 8 s of media later, past the exporter's delay, so every build survived its
serving kills except main's passthrough lane, which ended both exporters once in two.

(Written by Claude Opus 5.5)

Fallback cuts fall on a one-second grid of the unwrapped PCR timeline the
epoch places, and the M2ts section's random_access and mux_rate are judged
per two-second window on the same timeline, so importers sharing an epoch
publish the same groups and the same section wherever each joined.

Walkthrough

The change adds optional one-second catalog-clock group alignment to shared timebases and media producers. fMP4 and TS importers use grid placement to group media, including empty groups where applicable. TS passthrough also measures PCR windows for catalog-section fields and reports an error when an aligned group exceeds configured limits. Tests cover shared-epoch imports, joins, breaks, PCR wraps, and group limits. The --epoch documentation and related quest documents were updated.

P1 Badge Preserve the required passthrough discontinuity marker

With a shared epoch and a forward flagged PCR jump, this reaches Producer::discontinuity() in grid mode, whose grid branch emits no marker. drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-mpegts.md:322 requires the group after that jump to follow a hang discontinuity marker, while container::Consumer treats an unmarked forward timestamp jump as ordinary rather than an End or gap, so this silently changes the published m2ts wire contract without any version signal. Preserve a marker that is deterministic across aligned publishers, or version the protocol before omitting it.

Yes: on a shared epoch this PR publishes no marker for a flagged forward jump. The draft now states the exception, and the -01 changelog lists it (38190fb).

A marker is a group, and on the grid every sequence belongs to a second of the catalog clock: the jump's second belongs either to the open group, which the jump joins, or to the next start. That leaves no sequence for a marker that publishers which started at different times would agree on, and agreeing on sequences is the point of the mode. A consumer still sees the jump as a timestamp step, or as a sequence hole when it skips whole seconds; the hang draft already treats a hole as a playhead event. Neither the m2ts section nor its marker rule is in a published draft (-00 predates both), so no published contract changes.

This is the trade-off I'm least sure of. If you'd rather keep a marker on the grid, for example in the jump's own cell when no group holds it yet, I'll rework it.

Keeping no marker under aligned groups for now: a deterministic marker would need the jump's own second and drop that second's media, and the draft already states the exception. Leaving this open for the maintainer to confirm.

The draft and the catalog docs still described the fallback cut as one
second from the group's start and randomAccess as latching false for the
rest of the track. State the grid on the PCR count, whose wraps follow the
catalog clock, the first-group watch, and that randomAccess and muxRate
describe the latest two-second window. Pin where a window's edge falls: a
layout change before the first PCR past a line counts in the window before.

On CodeRabbit's outside-diff finding at passthrough.rs:757-827 (reject the first over-limit object before writing it): I'm leaving this as is.

On the grid, only the producer knows whether a start opens a new cell's group or joins the open one, so a check before the write would have to repeat the grid's placement in the passthrough. The overshoot is a single object, and the limits already budget for it: GROUP_BYTES_MAX is half of what moq-net caches of one group, so that an object of slack never reaches the cap, and GROUP_OBJECTS_MAX is half the frame cap. Every publisher of the input writes the same object and then ends with the same GroupFullError, so their groups stay identical.

A joiner whose first PCR lands exactly on a window line can start its first
group at a random access point in the PCR interval where its partner already
cut on the grid, and so described that window as random access the partner
had lost. Describe a window only when it starts strictly after the PCR the
first group follows, so every group start in it is one both importers made.

An unflagged repeated PCR exactly on a two-second line left the run's start
on the line, so the window holding that empty interval was still measured
without its packets. Track whether the window in progress missed an interval
instead of where the run began.

A same-epoch importer joining on the retransmitted copy of a flagged PCR on a grid line left its jump mark empty, so it fallback-cut a second later where its partner, which saw the original, did not. The first PCR's flag now marks the grid like any later jump.

Publishers sharing an `--epoch` number their groups from their own start,
so a moq-lite 07 relay that resumes a subscription on the other at the
same group and frame lands on other media, and the exporter reads a
rewind (moq-dev#4354).

`Timebase::align_groups`, which the CLI calls with a shared `--epoch`,
puts every media track the timebase reserves on a one-second grid of the
catalog clock. A group opens at the first start in a second (a video
keyframe, any audio frame, a data unit, a passthrough group start) and
takes that second's number; later starts in the second join it, and a
second with none gets an empty group. A process publishes nothing from
the second it started in, so two fed one stream publish the same groups
under the same sequences wherever each started.

Part of moq-dev#4354.

- A video cut on the grid now waits for a keyframe, as a break does: the
  pictures after it may reference what the loss left out.
- An fMP4 fragment below its track's latest segment start ends the import
  as a rewind instead of joining the open group.
- A TS clock break restarts a video track's grid even before it has
  published, since its deltas before the first keyframe move the watch.
- The draft states that publishers numbering m2ts groups by the second
  publish no discontinuity marker for a flagged jump.

P1 Badge Do not reopen a dropped fMP4 segment on its next fragment

When a grid-mode importer drops a segment's first fragment because it joined during that clock cell, track.group remains None, so this expression marks the next fragment of the same segment as another start despite track.segment having advanced. If a multi-fragment CMAF segment crosses into the next second, the late importer opens that second with media while a longer-running importer keeps the fragment in the preceding segment group and later uses the same sequence for empty or different content, defeating shared-epoch failover. In grid mode, a dropped segment must keep all later fragments non-starts until new_segment is true.

Fixed in a3e7afa: on the grid only a new segment starts a group now, so a segment whose first fragment was dropped stays dropped until the next segment. Off the grid nothing changes.

fmp4::import_test::a_dropped_segment_stays_dropped_across_a_second splits each segment of the shared-epoch source into two fragments, the second a non-keyframe, so three segments run into a second that starts none. It failed before the fix: a joiner published (602, 1) where the first importer's group 602 is empty. It passes now.

P1 Badge Advance section grids for audio-only TS programs

When an aligned TS import has audio but no video and carries a section-framed PID such as SCTE-35, this call never runs because it is inside the is_video branch. last_pts is exclusively the video clock, so release_sections keeps stamping every section with the unchanged start_pts; the first section initializes the grid's origin and every subsequent section at that same timestamp is silently dropped. The data-track grid needs to advance from the current audio PTS when the selected program has no video clock.

Fixed in a3e7afa: in a program with no video stream (decoded or clock-only), an audio PES now advances the section clock and the data tracks' grids, as video does otherwise. Without it, every section of an aligned audio-only program landed in the second the import started in, so the cue track published nothing at all.

ts::import::test::an_aligned_audio_only_program_publishes_its_cues failed before the fix (no cue published, seven expected). It passes now: every cue after the import's first second publishes at the PTS of the audio before it, in consecutive groups.

Off the grid, this also stamps an audio-only program's cues at the current audio PTS rather than the first PES's.

P1 Badge Bound fills after long runs without group starts

When a grid track receives regular non-start frames no more than 60 cells apart, such as video deltas or later fMP4 fragments in one segment, every call advances now, so this check never trips while last remains at the original group's cell. The next start then makes empty(at) return the entire accumulated interval and Producer::fill synchronously creates one group per skipped second; a crafted long GOP can therefore burst hundreds of thousands of groups despite FILL_MAX and stall the publisher or relay. Apply the cap to the distance from the last claimed cell, or fill incrementally as cells pass. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Fixed in 7f29860: a start now fills at most the 60 cells just before it, wherever the last group was, so a long run of joins can no longer build up an unbounded fill.

Capping the fill rather than the step keeps producers agreeing: one that watched fewer cells fills a suffix of what one running longer does. grid::tests::a_start_after_a_long_run_without_one_fills_at_most_the_bound checks that from three starting points. Without the cap, a start after 988 seconds of deltas filled 12..1000; it now fills 940..1000.

P2 Badge Document the shared-epoch marker exception

When --epoch enables grid grouping, this path intentionally emits no discontinuity marker. Although the draft now documents that exception, doc/setup/upgrade.md:35-38 still tells users that TS verbatim PES, sections, m2ts, and text always mark a break with one empty object, so users validating a shared-epoch rollout are told to expect a wire object that is never sent. Add the shared-epoch condition to that upgrade entry. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

…l video does

- A start after a run of frames that start nothing fills at most the 60
  seconds before it. Frames that join the open group move the grid on
  without filling, so an endless GOP could otherwise open a group for
  every second it lasted at its next keyframe. A producer that watched
  fewer seconds fills a suffix of what one running longer does.
- Audio keeps the TS section clock until a video PTS arrives, rather than
  only in a program with no video stream, so a program whose video sends
  nothing still moves its cues on. Cues ahead of the first picture now
  land at the audio's PTS rather than the first PES's.
- The upgrade guide says publishers sharing an `--epoch` mark no break.

Collaborator

Thanks for digging into this, @t0ms. The maintainer has decided to drop same-epoch importers entirely, and this PR will be closed once moq-dev/moq#5963 merges.

Independently fed importers each see their own loss, start point, and history, so "same epoch, same content" breaks as soon as either one loses or reorders a packet, and a mid-group resume then splices two streams. Under the new plan each importer of a redundant pair mints its own epoch. The relay serves the newest, and consumers follow a failover as a marked restart (export ts --stitch, players on the announce Restart). moq --epoch is removed before it ships, and the shared-epoch-only alignment from #5625 and #5894 is audited and reverted.

So the one-second group grid isn't needed. Neither is the follow-up video-cut fix, which keeps a damaged group a prefix of the partner's. The 1+1 failover test from this PR's description carries over to the new quest, on distinct epochs.
