feat(transcode): report which rungs are encoding - #2965
Conversation
Nothing is encoded until a consumer asks for a rung, so a transcoder publishing a catalog and one saturating a GPU look identical from the outside. `broadcast::Demand` closes half the gap -- someone is watching -- but a caller that meters or prices the work needs to know *which* renditions are being produced, and `run` owns `requested_track` internally. Add `Active`: a cloneable, watch-only view of the encoding rungs, handed in via `Config::active` and filled by the rung serve paths. Entries are reference counted, since the live path and any number of group fetches encode the same rung concurrently, and watchers wake only when the set of NAMES changes -- a fetch overlapping a live session is not an edge, which matters because a meter integrates the set over time and a spurious flap would double-count. `changed` never misses a change and may resolve spuriously (a fresh clone sees what is already encoding), which is the safe direction for that integral: re-reading costs nothing, while a missed rung encodes for free. The guards are RAII rather than an explicit release, because every encode path is cancelled by being dropped -- a rung whose demand goes away, a fetch aborted with its JoinSet -- so a release call would be skipped exactly when it matters and leak the rung into the set forever.

When a rung enters and its guard drops before the watcher is scheduled, tokio::sync::watch coalesces both updates and changed() reads only the final empty map. A short group fetch can therefore finish encoding without ever appearing to the metering caller, directly undercounting the rendition-minute integral this API is intended to provide. Record lossless timestamped transitions or accumulated durations instead of relying on a latest-value channel; the Rust guide also explicitly calls out single-value Tokio watch channels as the wrong repository primitive. rs/CLAUDE.mdL110-L113 (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

For a live subscriber, this guard is entered immediately after demand becomes used, before the feed listener receives a frame and before the lazy encoder is opened at rung.rs:215. If the source is stalled or has not produced a group yet, the rung can remain reported and billed for an arbitrarily long time while no encoding occurs, so the public "encoding right now" signal is actually reporting intent. Tie the guard lifetime to the encoder or first frame-processing interval instead. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Deriving Clone copies the Tokio receiver's already-seen version. When a caller clones a watcher after that watcher has observed the current active set, the new handle's first changed() blocks until a later update instead of immediately returning the rungs already encoding as documented, which can make a newly started meter miss most or all of an interval. Implement cloning with an explicitly initialized watcher cursor rather than inheriting the source receiver's cursor; this is another consequence of using the single-value Tokio watch pattern discouraged by the Rust guide. rs/CLAUDE.mdL110-L113 (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Encoding is neither an error/enum nor a defaultable config-like struct with a constructor, so this annotation does not qualify for any of the repository's permitted #[non_exhaustive] cases. It unnecessarily prevents consumers from constructing a value despite every field being public; remove the annotation or introduce an intentional construction API if external construction should be supported. rs/CLAUDE.mdL117-L123 (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Tokio 1.53.1 tokio::sync::watch Receiver::clone changed latest value seen state official docs
💡 Result:
In Tokio 1.53.1, calling Receiver::clone on a tokio::sync::watch::Receiver does not change the "seen" state of the value currently in the channel [1][2][3]. Each Receiver handle independently tracks which values it has already observed [4][2]. When you clone a Receiver, the new handle is initialized with the same "seen" state as the original Receiver at the moment of cloning [3]. Specifically, the cloned Receiver will consider the current value to be "seen" if and only if the original Receiver considered that same value to be "seen" at the time clone() was called [3]. Key behaviors regarding the seen state and Receiver handles: - Independent Tracking: Every Receiver instance in a watch channel maintains its own internal state regarding whether it has processed the current value [4][2]. - No Modification on Clone: Cloning a Receiver simply duplicates the handle and its current synchronization state; it does not trigger any updates to the "seen" status of the value in the channel [3]. - Marking as Seen: The "seen" status for a specific Receiver is only modified when that specific handle calls methods such as changed() (asynchronously) [1][4][2], borrow_and_update() (synchronously) [4][2], or other equivalent functions that explicitly acknowledge the value [2]. If you need a new Receiver to immediately see the current value as "unseen" (so that a subsequent changed().await returns immediately), you must generally use Sender::subscribe() to create a new, distinct Receiver that will begin tracking from the current state [4]. Cloning an existing Receiver preserves the current "seen" status of that specific handle [3].

Tokio official documentation tokio::time::pause auto advance timeout current_thread test-util
💡 Result:
In Tokio, tokio::time::pause is a testing utility that allows you to control the passage of time by "freezing" the clock [1][2]. It requires the test-util crate feature and must be run within a current_thread Tokio runtime [1][3]. Key points regarding its behavior, auto-advance, and testing requirements include: Runtime Requirement: tokio::time::pause must be called within a current_thread runtime; calling it outside this context will cause a panic [1][4]. This runtime is the default for #[tokio::test] [1][5]. You can initialize a runtime with time pre-paused using the start_paused = true argument in the #[tokio::test] macro or via the Builder::start_paused method [6][7]. Auto-Advance Mechanism: When time is paused, the runtime will automatically jump forward to the next pending timer if it determines that there is no other work to be done (i.e., when all tasks are parked) [1][8]. This ensures that async operations relying on timers, such as tokio::time::sleep, will complete immediately as far as the program logic is concerned, rather than hanging the test [1][7]. Preventing Auto-Advance: In scenarios where you need to perform operations (like I/O) without the clock advancing automatically, you can inhibit auto-advance by using tokio::task::spawn_blocking [1][9]. While a blocking task is executing, the runtime prevents the clock from auto-advancing, allowing you to wait for external events while the paused time remains stationary [1][9]. Explicit Advancement: Aside from auto-advance, you can manually control time using tokio::time::advance(duration), which shifts the clock forward by the specified amount [1][10]. Example Usage: #[tokio::test(start_paused = true)] async fn test_example { let start = std::time::Instant::now; tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(500)).await; // Time auto-advances, so the assertion succeeds instantly assert_eq!(start.elapsed, std::time::Duration::from_millis(500)); }

Fix the Active::changed delivery contract.
watch::Receiver keeps only the latest value, so an enter/drop pair before polling returns an empty snapshot and can omit a short encoding interval from metering. Receiver::clone() also copies the seen cursor, so cloning a caught-up watcher waits for a later transition even while a rung remains active. Queue each set transition per watcher, or document coalesced snapshots and the clone semantics. Add regression tests for both cases. Call tokio::time::pause() before the timeout in clones_never_miss_the_current_set.

Tokio 1.48 time pause test-util timeout paused time start_paused official documentation
💡 Result:
In Tokio 1.48 (and later), pausing time in tests is primarily handled via the test-util feature [1][2]. To start a test with time paused, you should use the start_paused = true argument in the #[tokio::test] macro [3][4]: #[tokio::test(start_paused = true)] async fn my_test { // Time is paused from the start tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(500)).await; } Key concepts for using paused time: 1. Requirement: You must have the test-util feature enabled in your Cargo.toml [1][3]. 2. Runtime: Pausing time requires the current_thread runtime (which is the default for #[tokio::test]) [2][3]. 3. Auto-advancing: When time is paused, if the runtime has no other work to do (i.e., all tasks are parked), the clock will automatically advance to the next scheduled timer [2][5][6]. This allows sleep or timeout calls to resolve instantly without needing to manually advance time [4][6]. 4. Manual Control: While start_paused = true is preferred for tests, you can also use tokio::time::pause() within a test, and tokio::time::advance(duration) if you need to manually increment the clock [1][2][5]. 5. I/O and Blocking Tasks: If you perform blocking I/O (e.g., using spawn_blocking), the auto-advance mechanism is temporarily inhibited, allowing the clock to remain stationary while the blocking operation completes [2][7]. If you are experiencing issues where a timeout triggers unexpectedly, ensure that your tasks are running on the same single-threaded runtime, as auto-advancing behavior relies on the runtime being able to determine that no further progress can be made [2][8].

Why
moq-transcodeencodes just in time, so a transcoder publishing a catalog and one saturating a GPU look identical from the outside.broadcast::Demandcloses half the gap — someone is watching — but a caller that meters, prices, or admits the work needs to know which renditions are being produced, andrunownsrequested_trackinternally with no way to observe it.That caller is moq.pro's transcode worker (moq-dev/moq.pro#701): live transcoding bills per output rendition-minute, so what a project owes is the integral over time of how many rungs of each tier were actually encoding. Without this it can only bill wall-clock time since a rule matched, which charges for renditions nobody watched.
What
Active— a cloneable, watch-only view of the encoding rungs, constructed by the caller, handed in viaConfig::active, and filled by the rung serve paths.None(the default) keeps today's behavior exactly.Three details that are load-bearing rather than incidental:
changednever misses a change and may resolve spuriously. A fresh clone sees what is already encoding rather than waiting for the next rung. That is the safe direction for the integral: re-reading costs nothing, while a missed rung encodes for free.JoinSet— so a release call would be skipped exactly when it matters and leak the rung into the set forever.Testing
just checkandjust testare green (20 lib tests). Four new ones:active::testscover the set/edge contract, the reference-counted overlap, and the never-miss-on-clone property.tests::reports_active_rungsis the end-to-end proof throughrunitself: the ladder is published with the set empty, subscribing a rung puts it in the set with the right geometry, real frames come out, and dropping the subscriber takes it back out.(written by Opus 5)
