An external pre-encoded encoder can reach its bitrate floor while exceeding the transport allocation. The previous trusted-rate-controller declaration bypassed WebRTC frame backpressure, and C++ callers could not read the sender allocation already exposed by the native source.

Expose the newest coalesced allocation through EncodedVideoSource::takeBitrateRequest() and retain WebRTC frame backpressure. The existing reference-continuity guard still suppresses dependent frames after a drop and requests a keyframe. Source dimensions, target FPS, and publication identity remain unchanged. A zero allocation is valid; an absent value means no new command, and allocation is explicitly distinct from a fresh network estimate.

Validation: Windows Release SDK bundle built; all 367 unit tests passed, including encoded-source and reference-continuity tests. A 1000-call idle polling test took about 1.5 ms total. Manual clang-format checks passed; clang-tidy found no new diagnostics in the changed code (two existing const suggestions remain in the unit test file). A real 180-second hardware/SFU run received changing allocations, including about 1.5 Mbit/s while the ICE estimate was about 3 Mbit/s, with one publication and no reconnect. End-to-end freshness qualification remains in syrnike13/syrnike13-app#139; this PR does not claim that qualification is complete.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Добавлена поддержка предварительно кодированного H.264-видео через Rust FFI. EncodedVideoSource теперь получает coalesced bitrate requests. Pass-through encoder сохраняет backpressure и проверяет непрерывность ссылок после пропуска кадров.

Changes

Поддержка предварительно кодированного видео

Layer / File(s) Summary
Контракты FFI и типы видео
patches/client-sdk-rust/0001-native-v2-runtime.patch
Добавлены FFI-сообщения для передачи H.264 access units и чтения keyframe/bitrate requests. Добавлены VIDEO_SOURCE_NATIVE_ENCODED и ENCODER_BACKEND_PRE_ENCODED.
Путь native encoded video
patches/client-sdk-rust/0001-native-v2-runtime.patch
Rust runtime валидирует и передаёт encoded frames в NativeVideoSource. Добавлены обработчики запросов, setters направления transceiver и проверка состояния sender. PassthroughVideoEncoder сохраняет backpressure и запрашивает IDR после потери непрерывности.
C++ API и проверка bitrate
include/livekit/video_source.h, src/video_source.cpp, src/tests/unit/test_video_source.cpp
EncodedVideoSource::takeBitrateRequest() возвращает новый allocation, включая значение 0, или std::nullopt. Тест проверяет отсутствие запроса и повторный опрос без sender.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6b979

The bitrate feedback API is validated for a single publication, but mixed raw and pre-encoded tracks can receive the wrong startup bitrate policy. That behavior should be corrected before merge; the FFI tag marker should also advance to 90.

Poem

Кролик несёт H.264 в норку,
Bitrate читает ловко.
Если кадр пропал в пути,
IDR поможет связь спасти.
Backpressure держит строй,
И FFI танцует с весной.

979-979: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Не храните режим pre-encoded только для последнего video track.

PeerTransport содержит один pre_encoded_video для всех publisher video track. Если сначала добавить pre-encoded track, а затем raw track, этот вызов перезапишет флаг на false. Следующий offer применит ограничение 1 Mbit/s также к pre-encoded track. Обратный порядок снимет ограничение для raw track.

Храните это состояние для каждого активного video sender или выводите его из всех опубликованных transceiver перед SDP munging. Удаление track также должно обновлять состояние.
