Complete the Native Client source/audio boundary, strict v5 loopback contract, Browser media lifecycle handling, and non-blocking release checks. Keep unverified platform/physical gates explicit; do not rewrite the Go Server.
Load only the active client route, expose resolved live codec state, and add exact depth-aware browser quality evidence with current-UI quality-control gates.
Measured Browser-pipeline improvements, bounded SFU observability, and one-commit release ownership. Local repository hygiene, 860 tests, client/server builds, and the 20-Viewer seven-check gate passed. GitHub Actions did not start because of the account billing/spending-limit annotation.
Use official Codex, Claude, and Hermes context guidance as advisory working budgets with bounded hard ceilings and actionable remediation. Local cross-platform repository hygiene checks pass; GitHub-hosted steps were not started because of the account billing state.
Modularize durable truth, bound always-loaded instructions, and keep domain-document size checks advisory. Local cross-platform repository hygiene checks pass; GitHub-hosted steps were not started because of the account billing state.
Implements the accepted memory-resident room and access model on the single piik-v8 Browser wire. Local repository, full Web, build, and Chrome access/privacy gates passed before merge.
Preserve exact selected edges across unrelated route revisions, demote corroborated bad relay parents, and parameterize the bounded endpoint cap while retaining the production default of two.
Keep local media validation focused on topology and recovery correctness, move Native packaging to a manual release boundary, and persist queued-feedback workflow guidance.
Match Piik's two-layer sender guard to LiveKit 2.22.0 q,h RID construction, restore private-link Viewer smoke entry, and retain the local one-root SFU/UDP functional evidence. TURN and performance remain outside this functional slice.
Adds the explicit Windows WGC/D3D11 hardware-only Media Foundation H.264 source, process-tree audio, direct Go/Pion fanout, source-aware UI/gate, and unique evaluation package helper. Browser VP8 remains the default. Local acceptance and bounded real-device evidence are recorded in the PR; GitHub jobs were billing-blocked before executing any step.
Adds an explicit H.264 Native sender mode while preserving VP8 as the default, with one bounded Host/Viewer loopback and an explicit hardware-attribution caveat.
