When the capture pump drains queued V4L2 or Media Foundation frames faster than real time, the existing device mapping can place the previous frame ahead of local; if the device timestamp then repeats or restarts, this branch re-anchors directly to that smaller local value and still rewinds the stream. For example, source timestamps 0 and 40 ms arriving 1 ms apart publish near 0 and 40 ms, but an immediate reset to zero publishes near 2 ms. Store the last mapped timestamp and clamp the new anchor to at least that value so the restart fix remains monotonic under backlog.

Prevent push_native from re-anchoring below its last mapped timestamp.
When source <= native.last, the current local timestamp can be earlier than the previous mapped timestamp. recv passes this timestamp without a clamp.
The downstream producer does not always repair this. It can accept a lower timestamp within an open group. If the timestamp falls below a finished group's live_edge, it returns TimestampRewind instead. That error propagates through publish and can stop the capture loop.
Store the last mapped timestamp and use a strictly higher floor when re-anchoring or when checked arithmetic falls back to local.

Run the clock fixture on a local task on macOS.
On macOS, capture::Stream contains _backend: Keepalive, where Keepalive is Box<dyn Any> and is not Send. capture_loop keeps the stream across frame-read and encode await points. Fixture::start passes that future to tokio::spawn, which requires a Send future. The clock tests can therefore fail to compile on macOS with capture and openh264 enabled.
Use spawn_local with a LocalSet, or keep the loop on the test task.

MERGE Positive improvement, and the fixtures paid for themselves: they found two real bugs and the PR fixes both. The second fix is equally correct. Worth the complexity. Private Would do differently: nothing material in this diff. Note the documented 250ms early-tolerance on video and that audio still stamps driver-read, not acquisition — already quested. This is an automated review, not the maintainer's decision |

Problem
Native video and audio capture had no CI coverage of their clock behavior: nothing drove the real publishers through restarts, late frames, or idle gaps and checked the timestamps a subscriber reads. Once written, the fixtures found two bugs:
FrameChannel::push_nativepinned the first device timestamp as its anchor for the life of the stream. A V4L2 or Media Foundation clock that restarts at zero mid-stream mapped back onto the old anchor and rewound the published timeline. A driver that reports one constant timestamp stamped every frame identically.container::Producer::discontinuity()closed the open video group with an end marker guessed from the frame cadence. When a camera reopens sooner than one frame interval (a low-fps screen capture reopening after a resize, for example), the resumed keyframe lands before that guessed end.container::Consumerthen refuses it withTimestampRewind, even though the producer accepted it.Approach
CaptureSourceseam inmoq-video's capture loop, mirroring the existing one inmoq-audio, plus a test-onlycapture::Syntheticdevice. Frames can be pushed at an explicit acquisition instant or on a device timeline.moq_mux::Clock::at(epoch, wall)and read the timestamps back throughcontainer::Consumer. They cover:SystemTime::now())catalog.clock()(audio receives it the waymoq import capturepasses it). An instant captured on both lands on the same timestamp, within those bounds. No single fixture runs both publishers, because neither crate can reach the other's synthetic source.push_nativere-anchors to the frame's arrival time whenever the device timestamp does not advance.discontinuity()closes the group with no guessed end marker. An explicitcut(end)beforehand still bounds it.capture-gated tests only ran nightly.just rs test-changed(the CI test job) now also runs a newcapture-testrecipe whenever moq-video or moq-audio is selected.check-changedwithTEST=trueruns it with lints denied. Locally, 302 tests finish in about 3s.Both fixes were confirmed load-bearing: reverting either one makes
a_device_clock_restart_continues_forwardfail. The channel fix also has unit regressions.Impact
CaptureSource,DeviceSource,Synthetic, andcloseare private orcfg(test).moq_mux::container::Producer::discontinuity()on a video track no longer writes a cadence-estimated duration marker on the closing group. The draft already makes that marker optional (MAY estimate).Alternatives
moq_mux::SourceMapfor device timelines. Rejected: its 500ms reorder tolerance is meant for B-frames, and raw capture has none, so a small backwards step would still rewind.container::Consumerafter a marker group. Rejected: the draft calls a group below the live edge malformed, so the fix belongs on the producer side.Follow-ups
PublicationOptions::default()builds a fresh one that the catalog never advertises. Needs adevbreak.@moq/hang's legacycut()guesses the same end marker.hang::catalog::Clock::wall_clocktruncates to milliseconds on a microsecond clock. The fixtures assert at millisecond precision.
