Spike batch from 2026-08-26 Distance overhaul (see .tmp/distance-plan/PLAN.md).

What

  • New src/backend/ with Backend {ListDisplays, StartStream} -> Stream <-chan H264Chunk + registry + auto order [captured, sunshine, vnc, rdp]captured is now one backend (keeps unix socket compat + ffmpeg encode).
  • Sunshine/VNC/RDP stubs (sunshine doc'd Moonlight RTSP handshake, passthrough H264 future).
  • --backend auto|captured|sunshine|vnc|rdp + --<backend> opts + --dry-run in main.go.
  • Drops MoQ (moq_adapter.go + gomoqt dep), keeps raw WebTransport (bidi control + server-initiated uni H264) in session.go/stream.go.
  • Selfhosted web viewer in src/web/ (Vite + vanilla TS + WebCodecs VideoDecoder -> canvas): transport.ts/decoder.ts + input.ts/ui/* + HTTPS embed on :52022 via go:embed web/dist (SPA fallback, /api/info preserved).

Commits: 3 spike: commits (3b31a35, 9a17b16, 351a7d8) — happy to squash to feat: on review.
Verify: npm run build in src/web + go vet ./... + go build + manual curl https://127.0.0.1:52022/ -> 200.

Precedes: captured KMS/GBM (feat/linux-kms-gbm), relay is future.
Closes: n/a (spike, not issue-driven).

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a4dc2

This change exposes remote display access and control over network listeners without a client-authorization boundary, allowing unauthorized peers to view or disrupt sessions. Stream cleanup and startup can also leave clients without video or block global recovery, while several advertised connection and configuration paths do not work as documented. These are high-impact merge-readiness risks that should be fixed before merging.

47-72: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Remove the dead apply plumbing in configureBackends.

The apply callback is only reachable through the default branch at line 63. All three reg calls at lines 68-70 pass backend names whose concrete types are already matched by the case branches, and applyCaptured at line 67 is an empty function. The _ = o.captured at line 71 discards the flag value.

The three cases also repeat the same body. Set the address through a small interface or a direct switch, and drop the callback.

♻️ Proposed refactor
 func configureBackends(o backendOpts) {
-	reg := func(name, opts string, apply func(map[string]string)) {
+	type addressable interface{ setAddr(string) }
+	reg := func(name, opts string) {
 		if opts == "" {
 			return
 		}
 		b, err := backend.Get(name)
 		if err != nil {
 			log.Fatalf("%v", err)
 		}
+		addr := parseKV(opts)["addr"]

selectBackend at line 75 also accepts dryRun and never reads it. Remove the parameter.

Simplify the port detection in tcpProbe.

Line 100 tests the same condition twice. !strings.Contains(addr, ":") and strings.Count(addr, ":") == 0 are equivalent, so the || adds nothing. Use net.SplitHostPort instead, which matches httpAddr at lines 62-64 and also handles bracketed IPv6 addresses.

Inline comments:
In @.gitignore:
- Around line 11-13: Update the .DS_STORE ignore pattern to the correctly cased
.DS_Store filename so macOS-generated files are ignored on case-sensitive
worktrees.

In `@AGENTS.md`:
- Line 62: Update the AGENTS.md documentation to remove or clearly mark as
historical the remaining MoQ references, including the /moq endpoint and the MoQ
integration and gomoqt dependency sections, while preserving the raw
WebTransport uni-stream media contract.
- Line 89: Update the Markdown architecture diagram fence in AGENTS.md to
include the text language identifier, resolving markdownlint MD040 while
preserving the diagram content.

In `@src/backend/backend.go`:
- Around line 74-94: Fix the self-deadlock in Get by extracting the
name-collection and sorting logic into an unlocked helper; have Get call it
while holding regMu and have Names call it under its own lock, avoiding the
nested lock while preserving the sorted available-backend list in the
unknown-backend error.

In `@src/backend/captured.go`:
- Around line 171-185: Validate the wire-provided dimensions before allocation
in the initial frame handling and the per-frame loop, using a sane maximum and
overflow-safe width/height checks. Reject invalid dimensions by closing
resources and returning an error for the first frame, and by safely handling or
terminating the current frame path without calling make; update the logic around
the existing first-frame read and recurring frame-dimension symbols w, h, fw,
and fh.
- Around line 109-123: Update capturedStream.Close to prevent blocking on
s.ffmpeg.Wait: terminate the ffmpeg process, close its stdout pipe to unblock
the reader, then wait for process exit while preserving the existing cleanup
sequence.

In `@src/backend/vnc.go`:
- Around line 44-58: Apply ctx’s deadline to the connected net.Conn before the
banner Read in the VNC connection flow, using the existing conn and context
rather than only bounding DialContext. Ensure silent peers cause the read to
terminate according to the context timeout while preserving the current banner
handling.

In `@src/main.go`:
- Around line 154-157: Replace the unconditional CheckOrigin callback in the
webtransport.Upgrader with an allowedOrigin validation that permits same-origin
requests and the viewer origins derived from the configured --web port, while
rejecting other origins and logging each rejection; preserve the legacy
ApplicationProtocols setting.

In `@src/stream.go`:
- Around line 110-121: Update teardown to stop closing each subscriber’s control
session via sub.sess.CloseWithError; retain the video stream cleanup and
subscriber teardown so the session remains available for the stopped
acknowledgement and subsequent stream requests. If session closure is needed for
owner disconnects, perform it in that disconnect-specific path instead.
- Around line 42-52: Update startStream to call StartStream with a bounded
context deadline instead of context.Background(), and ensure the media socket
read in CapturedBackend.StartStream also applies an appropriate deadline after
dialing. Keep the existing error wrapping and successful-start behavior
unchanged.

In `@src/web.go`:
- Around line 59-67: Harden the TLS and HTTP server configuration in the web
server setup: set tls.Config.MinVersion to TLS 1.2 or higher, and configure
appropriate finite read, write, and idle timeouts on the http.Server created
alongside tlsCfg. Add the time dependency needed for timeout values while
preserving the existing certificate and protocol configuration.

In `@src/web/src/decoder.ts`:
- Around line 83-95: Update the start-code scanning loop around decodeNal to
recognize both three-byte 00 00 01 and four-byte 00 00 00 01 Annex B prefixes,
treating the latter as a single boundary without emitting the extra zero byte as
a NAL. Preserve correct start offsets and buffering for subsequent NAL units.

In `@src/web/src/input.ts`:
- Around line 81-89: Update the release() method to call
navigator.keyboard.unlock() independently of the pointer-lock state, alongside
the existing document.exitPointerLock() call. Ensure both Escape handling and
detach() release the keyboard lock acquired by tryKeyboardLock().

In `@src/web/src/main.ts`:
- Around line 61-65: Update onStarted to publish msg.width and msg.height to
StatsOverlay before calling stats.show(), so the resolution row displays the
active stream dimensions when streaming begins.

In `@src/web/src/transport.ts`:
- Around line 81-83: Update the WebTransport.closed handling around the existing
then callback to also process rejected promises, using the same msgHandler
stream-ended notification path as normal closure so abrupt failures notify the
viewer. Preserve the this.closed guard and existing read-loop behavior.

In `@src/web/src/types.ts`:
- Around line 24-33: Implement handling for every InputMessage variant in the
session dispatcher alongside the existing list-displays, start, and stop cases:
decode mouse, mousedown, mouseup, wheel, key, and touch payloads, then route
each event through the appropriate backend input-control API so they no longer
fall into the unknown-type error path; otherwise remove the unsupported variants
from InputMessage.

In `@src/web/src/ui/connect.ts`:
- Around line 199-202: Remove the root visibility change from the click handler
in the display tile listener, leaving startStream invocation unchanged. Let
onStarted handle hiding the connection screen only after successful stream
startup, while preserving the ability to retry after errors.
- Around line 242-249: Update the getUserMedia success callback in the QR camera
flow to check modal.isConnected before assigning this.qrStream or starting
playback; when the modal is disconnected, stop all tracks on the returned stream
and exit without starting the scan loop.
- Around line 209-220: Update applyJson to validate the parsed value before
accessing its fields: reject null and arrays, then accept only an object with
correctly typed connection fields. Preserve the existing invalid-JSON
toast/false return behavior and ensure invalid field types are rejected before
populating the input elements.

In `@src/web/style.css`:
- Around line 14-15: Update the --mono and --sans font-family declarations to
lowercase the reported identifiers Menlo, Roboto, Helvetica, and Arial,
preserving the existing font fallback order and all other values.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Implement the input protocol on the server.

InputMessage declares mouse, keyboard, wheel, and touch commands as supported client messages. The dispatcher in src/session.go only handles list-displays, start, and stop. Each input event falls through to the default case, returns an "unknown type" error, and does not control the remote host.

Add input decoding and backend routing in src/session.go, or remove these variants until that support exists.

79-103: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Tear down the state when the backend chunk channel closes.

The loop at line 81 ends when the backend stream ends, for example when ffmpeg exits or the captured daemon disconnects. publishStream then returns and leaves state non-nil.

Two results follow. Subscribers never receive stream-ended, so the viewer keeps waiting for video. A later start request hits the late-join branch at src/stream.go lines 18-30, opens a video stream on the dead streamState, and no data ever arrives. Recovery needs a client stop or an agent restart.

Call teardown under stateMu when the channel closes, and confirm the state is still the same stream.

Do not overwrite user input with the late /api/info response.

suggestFromPage starts a fetch and applies the result later. If the user pastes a fingerprint or a connection JSON before the response arrives, this callback replaces this.fpInput.value with the serving agent fingerprint. The user then connects with the wrong pin. Apply the response only when the field is still empty, as the code already does for hostInput.

close() keeps this.wt, so the connected getter still returns true and src/web/src/main.ts Line 25 reports the session as online. close() also leaves this.closed = true permanently, so a later connect() on the same instance never emits stream-ended. Set this.wt = null in close(), and set this.closed = false at the start of connect().

Apply the startup deadline to control I/O.

StartStream receives a 30-second context, but ctx only bounds DialContext. After ctrl connects, enc.Encode and dec.Decode have no deadline. A daemon that accepts the socket but does not reply can block stream startup indefinitely. Set a deadline on ctrl before the request, then clear it after the start response.

Keep the startup deadline through the first frame.

Line 215 clears the media deadline before Line 218 reads firstFrame. If the captured daemon sends the header and stalls, StartStream ignores its startup timeout and can block while startup holds shared stream state. Clear the deadline only after io.ReadFull(media, firstFrame) succeeds.

Submit complete Annex B access units.

Line 137 sends a bare NAL unit as a delta chunk. This decoder has no AVC decoder description, so chunk data must use Annex B framing. Each EncodedVideoChunk must contain one access unit. A bare NAL lacks its start code, and multi-slice frames are still split across separate decode calls. This can prevent normal P-frame decoding after the first key frame. (w3.org)

Frame video at access-unit boundaries. Preserve Annex B start codes. Increment dts once per access unit. Include the required SPS/PPS with each key access unit.

Verify with a stream that contains a multi-slice IDR frame followed by multi-slice P-frames.

Close the previous session before retrying.

When list-displays times out, connectAndList rejects without closing transport. The UI then allows another connect() call. That call replaces this.wt and statsTimer while the first session remains active. The first session's wt.closed handler can emit stream-ended into the replacement session, and both statistics timers can run.

Close the existing session before creating a replacement WebTransport. Bind lifecycle handlers to their own session.

Preserve both certificate fingerprints across reconnects. main.ts only displays the fingerprint-refresh notification, and Transport.connect creates one serverCertificateHashes entry from fingerprintHex. A reconnect using the saved fingerprint therefore sends only the old hash and may fail against the rotated certificate. Implement dual-hash caching and transmission, or update the documentation and recovery flow.

In `@AGENTS.md` at line 146, Update the fingerprint refresh and reconnect flow
involving main.ts and Transport.connect so both the previous and rotated
certificate fingerprints are cached and included in serverCertificateHashes on
the next connection, rather than sending only fingerprintHex; preserve both
hashes across reconnects.

**Caveat:** the rotation broadcast only reaches sessions subscribed to a *live*
stream — `broadcastControlMsg` returns early when no stream is active, and
subscribers are only registered when a stream exists at connect time. A
connected-but-idle client is not notified. The connect-time push in
`handleSession` is unconditional.

Resolve the conflicting rotation audience.

Line 62 says rotation notifications reach all connected clients, but this caveat says idle clients are not notified. Update one statement so the fingerprint-refresh contract is unambiguous.

**With `--cert`/`--key`** there is no cert manager at all: no fingerprint push,
no rotation loop, and no web UI on `:52022`. That is the reverse-proxy /
publicly-trusted-cert mode, where clients connect without
`serverCertificateHashes`.

Make custom-certificate mode compatible with the viewer.

Transport.connect requires a 32-byte fingerprintHex and always sends serverCertificateHashes. Because custom-certificate mode documents omitting this option, the viewer throws before it creates WebTransport. Add an unpinned path for trusted custom certificates, or document and implement the required fingerprint flow.

In `@AGENTS.md` around lines 154 - 157, Update Transport.connect and the viewer
connection flow so custom-certificate mode, identified by --cert/--key and
omitted serverCertificateHashes, does not require a 32-byte fingerprint or send
certificate hashes; preserve the existing pinned-certificate behavior when a
fingerprint is provided, and allow WebTransport creation to proceed for trusted
custom certificates.

The embedded viewer on :52022 had the same defects as the standalone
client, found by instrumenting VideoDecoder in a real browser against a
live agent. Ported the fixes verbatim from distancedesktop/client.

transport.ts: incomingUnidirectionalStreams yields a
WebTransportReceiveStream, which *is* a ReadableStream and has no
`.readable` property. `recv.readable.getReader()` therefore threw a
TypeError that readVideoLoop's outer catch swallowed as 'stream closed',
so the control plane stayed healthy, the UI reported streaming, and zero
bytes ever reached the decoder — with no console error. Verified from a
browser: constructor WebTransportReceiveStream, instanceof ReadableStream
true, 'readable' in stream false, and reading it directly yields Annex B
starting 00 00 00 01 67. Each stream is now drained in its own task so a
second video stream after stop/start is picked up promptly.

decoder.ts: four defects, any one of which alone prevents decoding.
- mapCodec hardcoded avc1.42E01E (Baseline 3.0) and ignored its argument.
  Real streams are Main 3.2 (avc1.4d4020) from the KMS path and High 4.0
  (avc1.640028) from the PipeWire path. Derived from the SPS now.
- Only IDR NALs got start codes; P-frames were passed bare, which is
  invalid in Annex B mode. Now builds an avcC description from SPS/PPS and
  converts each access unit to AVCC with 4-byte length prefixes.
- One EncodedVideoChunk per NAL, so a multi-NAL access unit became several
  bogus frames. NALs are now grouped into access units at
  first_mb_in_slice == 0. The previous heuristic (a VCL NAL after a
  non-VCL NAL) silently depended on the encoder emitting SEIs between
  frames: ffmpeg's Main output does, its High output does not, and there
  300 NALs collapsed into 3 access units.
- Access units before the first keyframe were fed to the decoder. A viewer
  always joins mid-GOP because the encoder is already running, so those
  reference an untransmitted PPS; the resulting fatal error moves
  VideoDecoder to 'closed' and the IDR behind them never decodes. They are
  dropped now, and a fatal decoder error tears the decoder down so the
  next parameter sets reconfigure cleanly.
- Timestamps derived from a frame index at the negotiated rate instead of
  a fixed 33333us tick, which described 30fps for a 60fps stream. main.ts
  now passes the requested fps to both `start` and the decoder so they
  cannot disagree.

input.ts: guard mousedown/mouseup on `locked`, as mousemove, wheel and
onKey already were. Without it the click that acquires pointer lock also
injects a button press and release on the remote host.

Rebuilt the committed dist. tsc --noEmit, npm run build, go vet ./... and
go build ./... all clean.
