Problem

The studio's UI is sixteen dockable text panels, a Preview and Program pair, no icon anywhere, and command-line flags for what a broadcaster must set before going live. This PR plans its replacement and the features that follow, with HTML mock-ups as the reference each quest builds to. It changes no code.

It builds on the audit, moq-dev/studio#123, which has merged.

LIVE

BUILD Studio mode
Add MIX
Go live Portrait

What it plans

Start at quest/m0/ux/README.md: the goal, the decisions, what is always on screen against on a page against in Settings, and what a person must check.

m0, the redesign of what exists (quest/m0/ux/):

Quest Size Outcome
spike L The LIVE page on egui and on Slint; the maintainer picks the toolkit
surface-crash S The studio stops crashing at startup in Surface::configure
scene-thumbs M A small live picture of every scene and source
shots M Named views rendered to PNG headlessly, for every UI PR
kit L Tokens, bundled type, icons, and the studio's own widgets
live XL One live picture, scene pads, sound strip, one live control, the layout following the picture; the dock removed
studio-mode M Editing off air, and cue and take
build L Layers, on-picture editing, and an inspector, replacing four panels
add L Adding a source by picking a picture, with app icons and live thumbnails
guests S Guests invited and placed from Add
mix L Strips, sends, and a routing matrix
go-live L No-argument launch, a show library, GO LIVE and END STREAM, preflight, health
settings M Everything set once, in one window
review M Replay, clips, and recordings
first-run M A new show in four pictures

Plus quest/m0/pin-capture-list.md for the Add page's pictures. It and the two m1 capture pins require quest/m0/pin-main.md from moq-dev/studio#125, since their upstream work lands on moq's main after pin-sync.

m1, features that do not exist yet: auto-place, auto-layout, capture-health, mini-controller, privacy-shield, follow-game, drop, obs-import, multiview, panels, dual-format, and two capture pins.

m2, held for later: phone-remote, markers, command-palette.

Mock-ups (quest/m0/ux/mock/, 2.2 MB): eight HTML pages on a shared kit.css and kit.js, each frame rendered to WebP by render.sh. quest check already validates links to files beside the quests, so the tree needed no new support for pictures.

Existing quests changed: m0/README.md records the change from docking and lists the epic; m0/destinations.md puts its destinations in the go-live sheet and requires ux/go-live; m0/wayland-sources.md links the Add page; the m1 and m2 READMEs list the new quests.

Decisions

Each was asked in the /quest-plan interview on 2026-11-09 and is recorded in the epic or the quest it belongs to.

  • Goal: ✅ one live picture with everything else a page, an inspector, or Settings away, edits on air, and an optional Studio mode (rejected: also planning per-platform API integrations; a restyle only).
  • Milestones: ✅ redesigning what exists in m0, new features in m1 (rejected: all in m0; all in m1).
  • Toolkit: ✅ spike first (rejected: stay on egui; move to Rune), and ✅ egui against Slint (rejected: egui against Rune, the first pick; all three; egui, Slint, and zgui). A survey of twelve toolkits, prompted by a critique of GPUI, found only those two draw the compositor's own wgpu textures with no copy on the studio's own device today. Rune is judged on paper from moq-dev/studio#98.
  • Camera placement: ✅ decided on the machine, nothing uploaded (rejected: a hosted decision model by default; local first with a hosted tie-breaker).
  • Shape: ✅ the stage (rejected: a hardware console; workspaces), revised from the maintainer's notes: ON AIR and END STREAM are one control, one health dot lists destinations on hover, undo is an icon, resolution is in Settings, and no chat is embedded.
  • Pages: ✅ LIVE, BUILD, MIX, REVIEW in the title bar for a landscape show and a left sidebar for a portrait one (rejected: always at the bottom; a left rail of drawers).
  • Studio mode: ✅ cue and take (rejected: a Preview and Program split; no mode).
  • Private panels: ✅ their own window, dockable, nothing docked by default (rejected: own window only; leaving chat to the browser).
  • Formats: ✅ one per show in m0, both at once in m1 (rejected: both in m0; never).
  • Features: ✅ auto layouts, capture health, mini controller, privacy shield, follow the game, drop anything, OBS import, multiview, with auto-placement, panels, and both formats from the answers above. ✅ m2 for a phone remote, markers and clips, and a command palette. Dropped: a rundown, looks and a brand kit, active-speaker layouts, control surfaces, a rehearsal mode.

Choices made without asking

  • Destinations waits on the redesign. m0/destinations.md now requires ux/go-live, so RTMP and WHIP join one sheet rather than building a second way to start a stream on a UI about to be replaced. That orders an egress library behind the toolkit spike and the LIVE page.
  • Words: "item" becomes "layer" and "top layer" becomes "always on top" in the UI and the user guide; the scene file's keys do not change. "Audio scene" stays.
  • Amber means everything not right and not on air: cued, off air, degraded, needing attention.
  • Type and icons: Barlow Condensed, Inter, JetBrains Mono, and an icon set in Lucide's style, as the mock-ups use, unless one renders badly in the chosen toolkit.
  • Renders are WebP, about 50 KB a frame, so the mock-ups can be read on GitHub and by an agent without a browser.

Recorded in their quests as recommended, not decided, for the maintainer when each starts:

  • A click on an Add card selects and a button adds, since a new layer is on air at once (add).
  • A failed preflight check never blocks going live (go-live).
  • Replay and Save clip take any stretch of the last 30 seconds, where today they take the last N up to the click (review).
  • A capture that goes black holds its last picture a few seconds, then shows black (capture-health).
  • Whether the privacy shield also hides notification pop-ups (privacy-shield).

Upstream

The three capture quests the pins link are planned in moq-dev/moq#8422: the listing in moq's m3, since the studio's m0 waits on it, and the foreground app and exclusion in moq's m4, since their consumers are in the studio's m1. The links resolve once it merges. It found that only macOS can leave an app out of a display capture, and that moq reports neither a pointer nor a window's place on its display, so privacy-shield, auto-place, and follow-game promise only what that allows.

Impact

Quest text and mock-ups only. Public API and wire: none.

Follow-ups

  • m2/web.md still says "the same egui UI". Recommendation: reword it when the toolkit spike reports, not before.

Stale references and claims found by /quest-audit on 2026-11-09, each
checked against the code, the pin, or a merged PR. Decisions the audit
raised are left for the maintainer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Decided 2026-11-09 (maintainer, /quest-audit):

- pin-bus-positioned pins exactly moq#8273; new pin-sync crosses moq#8272
  after playout-positioned, and every later pin requires it.
- playout-positioned keeps a studio-owned write lead.
- The web studio and its two pins move to m2.
- Packaging and browser sources split per platform; packaging/macos owns
  the app bundle the camera extension and CEF helpers join.
- mesa-amd runs on the desktop host.
- destinations drops its AAC wait (new destinations-aac) and takes the two
  moq dial changes through new pin-egress-dial.
- New windows-build compiles the studio on a hosted Windows runner.
- audio-filters covers microphones and system audio only.
- An audio layer carries pan and delay; toggles land in moq play; the
  hang-layers wait names moq's three quests.
- moq's AAC and filter-chain quest links point at its m3.

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Checkpoint: the mock-up pages beyond the shell, and the links that wait on
the audit branch's pin-sync, are still to come.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 20179d8

[P2] Gate the mini controller on capture exclusion, not just always-on-top support — quest/m1/mini-controller.md:16–21. The plan promises the bar never appears in display capture, but its availability check only rejects desktops without always-on-top support. quest/m1/privacy-shield.md:24–27 explicitly leaves protection unavailable on X11; an X11 desktop can therefore satisfy the bar's stated check while recording it into the stream. Require both capabilities before offering the bar, with an explicit unsupported state, and carry that capability requirement into private panels' equivalent “never on stream” promise.

Overall direction: the staged UX plan is coherent; resolve this platform-safety mismatch before implementation. Verification: GitHub-only static review of the quest text and supporting mock-up source. No application tests, quest checks, rendered-image inspection, or OS capture verification were run.

Walkthrough

The changes add milestone planning for M0, M1, and M2. They document the redesigned studio’s planned pages, setup and live workflows, capture behavior, and settings. They also add static HTML and CSS mockups for M0 interfaces and later feature concepts. The documents record dependencies, design decisions, and proposed checks; they do not implement the described studio features.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 34a4d

This planning-only change adds quest documents and static mock-ups and does not alter the product. A few plan statements should be corrected before implementers rely on them: how marker clips get their media, how the privacy shield hides Studio windows on macOS, and how scene hotkeys behave.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Guard the mock's DOM lookups.

layerRow(f,'Neon Drift') returns undefined if no layer row contains that name. Then r.classList throws and the frame fails to render. The same pattern is used at lines 352, 404, and 405. If the shared layer list in kit.js changes, these frames break silently. Add a null check or fail with a clear message.

The plan reads neither, since moq reports neither, so the autoplace frame
now shows only motion, text, and a HUD.

65-67: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

The lock description is partly wrong.

Studio::ui in rs/moq-studio/src/ui.rs drops its engine.state guard (drop(state)) before the dock draw. It does not hold the lock across the whole dock. Individual panels may still lock the state, but the text overstates the problem.

Reword it to say the UI holds the lock while it reads state at the start of the frame, and that panels lock it separately. Then the "draw from a snapshot" goal targets the real contention.

Update the stale 2026-10-22 UI entry to match the new toolkit decision.

The new 2026-11-09 entry says the spike decides between egui and Slint again. Line 26 still reads "egui with egui_dock" and gives reasons that no longer hold (for example, "Slint has no docking"). A reader of the Plan section sees two conflicting UI decisions with no marker on the first one. quest/m0/ux/spike.md says to record the answer in this README, but the old entry carries no "Superseded" note.

Add a short "Changed 2026-11-09 (below)" note to the UI bullet, as the Home bullet does for 2026-11-02.

- The hotkey actions (`rs/moq-studio/src/controls.rs`) keep working: a
scene's key takes it, as its pad does. Cut and Transition have nothing to
act on until Studio mode, so they are hidden until then.

The hotkey claim does not match the current Action::Scene path.

The text says a scene's key takes the scene, "as its pad does". In rs/moq-studio/src/controls.rs, Action::Scene calls preview(). That function only calls set_preview. It never reaches Collection::takes. So the key does not apply the refusals (wrong size, draws the program) that line 43 says a pad must show.

State in the plan that the Action::Scene handler must change to take the scene and surface the Collection::takes error. Otherwise an implementer will assume the behavior already exists.

Gate the bar on capture protection too.

On an X11 desktop that supports always-on-top windows, this guard offers the bar even though quest/m1/privacy-shield.md says X11 cannot hide it from display capture. The bar can then appear on stream. Gate the bar on capture protection, or clearly warn when it cannot be hidden. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the startup decision that determines whether the bar is offered: require
both always-on-top support and capture protection, or clearly warn users when
the bar cannot be hidden from display capture. Keep the existing behavior that
avoids offering a bar that would sink behind the game, and ensure Settings
communicates the applicable limitation.

Do not rely on macOS window sharing to hide Studio windows.

Apple describes NSWindow.SharingType.none as a legacy value that macOS no longer uses. A Studio window can therefore appear in a display capture despite the goal’s promise.

Plan to exclude Studio from its own capture filter. Qualify the promise for third-party capture, and confirm the fallback on supported macOS versions and capture tools.

Define a media source for older markers.

Take::clip can copy only retained broadcast history. The REVIEW plan does not record media in the background. If a marker ages out while recording is off, Save clip cannot cut around it, although the marker remains in the list. Define how to retain the media, or specify when the clip action is unavailable.
