# [S] Merge main into dev

## Goal

`dev` contains `main` at or after
[#4506](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/4506) (`c2e7b5815`), so dev has
the `ts::stats` module the TS stats rename works on.

## Plan

Unlike the other outside conditions, this is work: a PR merging `main` into
`dev` and resolving its conflicts. As of 2026-09-30 `main` is 130 commits
ahead of `dev` and `dev` is 119 ahead of `main`.

# [XS] A self-hosted NVIDIA runner is registered

## Goal

A self-hosted GitHub Actions runner is registered for moq-dev/moq on the
maintainer's Linux host (RTX 3070 Ti), with the NVIDIA driver installed. This
is a maintainer action: only someone with admin access to the repository and
the host can do it.

This quest tracks a condition outside the repository. When it holds, delete
this quest and every `Required` entry that links it.

## Plan

As of 2026-09-30 `gh api repos/moq-dev/moq/actions/runners` lists none.
Register it with the dedicated label and hardening that
[GPU CI](/quest/m1/gpu-ci.md) describes, and share the registration with the
io_uring runner the drain line plans.

# [XS] A week of nightly interop after #4529

## Goal

Seven nightly interop runs on `main` have completed since
[#4529](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/4529) added the player's `delay`
column to the interop trace.

This quest tracks a condition outside the repository. When it holds, delete

## Plan

#4529 merged on 2026-09-29 (`8b6abc0a1`). As of 2026-09-30 one scheduled
`interop.yml` run on `main` includes it, so the seventh lands around
2026-10-06. Check with `gh run list --workflow interop.yml --branch main`.

`main` contains the moq-ffi decoded-frame surface from `dev`

This quest tracks a condition outside the repository. When it holds, delete

[P2] Keep this condition visible through the remote questline overlay

With the current remote branches, this new condition still disappears from normal quest ready and therefore /quest-spawn. The pinned CLI defaults to origin and replaces the whole questline subtree with the corresponding branch's files. quest/m1/obs-moq-video/README exists at d3cddaef05f0763f2202462bdd65e01a7ce4a6e1; its tree has no decoded-surface.md. Merging this PR into main alone therefore leaves this outside condition absent from triage. Prefer placing it directly under m1 and linking it from the source quest, or include synchronization of the active questline in the migration. Validate with default quest ready after fetching, since local quest check does not exercise the overlay.

Fixed in 2838fa1: moved to quest/m1/obs-decoded-surface.md, listed in m1 right before the OBS questline and linked from source.md. Default quest ready after fetching now lists it.

As of 2026-09-30 both are on `dev` only. Check with

Use a content-level check for the decoded-frame surface.

CONTRIBUTING.md requires squash merges into main. A squash merge can include the decoded-frame surface without making 97575f002 an ancestor. The ancestry check can therefore remain false after the goal is met, leaving this quest and its linked Required entries open. Replace it with a check for the decoded-frame implementation content, such as the MoqVideoDecoderOutput.surface and MoqVideoDecodedFrame API, rather than commit ancestry.

Review comment at @quest/m1/obs-decoded-surface.md at line 14:
Replace the `git merge-base --is-ancestor` check in the decoded-frame quest with
a content-level check for the decoded-frame implementation, using the
`MoqVideoDecoderOutput.surface` and `MoqVideoDecodedFrame` API as identifying
evidence so squash merges can satisfy the quest.

IETF QUIC receive timestamps draft receiver-local timestamp basis sender clock offset one-way delay

💡 Result:

The current draft is **draft-ietf-quic-receive-ts-03** (published July 20, 2026), an active Internet-Draft—not an RFC. ([datatracker.ietf.org](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-quic-receive-ts-03))

Its receive timestamps use a **receiver-local basis**: the basis is local, isn’t sent to the peer, and stays constant for the session. Timestamps are reported relative to it specifically to avoid requiring synchronized clocks. ([datatracker.ietf.org](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-quic-receive-ts-03))

**So these timestamps alone don’t give absolute one-way delay or the sender’s clock offset.** They give packet arrival timing on the receiver’s timebase; a sender can use differences between arrival timestamps (alongside send-time intervals) for delay trends or congestion/bandwidth estimation. That distinction is an inference from the draft’s relative-time encoding and its stated measurement uses. ([datatracker.ietf.org](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-quic-receive-ts-03))

Define the absolute-delay estimator.

quest/m2/quic-deadline.md requires an absolute forward one-way delay to estimate arrival before the deadline. The receive-timestamp plan only provides receiver-local arrival times and a sender-side inter-arrival filter. It does not define clock-offset estimation. Receive timestamps alone can provide delay variation, not an absolute one-way delay.

Specify the clock-offset or equivalent estimator. Otherwise, describe the timestamps as an adjustment to the min_rtt / 2 baseline:

Suggested wording
-  the [GCC experiment](/quest/m3/quic-gcc.md)'s receive timestamps replace that

-- [QUIC GCC](/quest/m3/quic-gcc.md) - its receive timestamps give a measured

+- [QUIC GCC](/quest/m3/quic-gcc.md) - its receive timestamps adjust the
+  half-RTT estimate with measured forward-delay variation

Review comment at @quest/m2/quic-deadline.md at line 24:
Update the deadline estimate wording around the GCC experiment reference to
describe receive timestamps as adjusting the min_rtt / 2 baseline with measured
forward-delay variation, not replacing it with an absolute forward delay. Make
the matching change in the QUIC GCC summary.

Fair point, but the "measured forward delay" claim predates this PR (it pointed at the old receive-ts spike); this PR only retargets the link. Leaving the estimator design to whoever picks up quic-deadline or quic-gcc, noted as a follow-up.

@kixelated, you’re right: the diff only retargets the link. The estimator concern predates this PR. Leaving the estimator design to the quic-deadline or quic-gcc work is reasonable.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for the estimator design?

guess with a measured forward delay. If the estimate is past the deadline,
reset the stream with a dedicated error code and drop its retransmit ranges,
including bytes already lost, so flow control is returned in one step.
