State machine analysis

Traced every video toggle in the evidence log (oxidezap.github.io-1789054614141.log) against CallRegistry in crates/session/src/whatsapp/calls/registry.rs and the upstream reducer (wacore::voip).

Log transcription (call 008bde32…, us = web, peer = Android; 11 = UpgradeRequestV2, 1 = Enabled, 4 = UpgradeAccept, 6 = Stopped):

  • Our 11 (offer 106.52-11) → peer txn1 6 (remote-off, our upgrade kept) → peer txn2 4 (upgrade accepted: local-on + remote-on announced; we confirm with 1) → peer txn3 1 (remote-on, duplicate) → peer txn4 6 (remote-off).
  • We toggle off (6, local-off) → peer txn5 1 (remote-on; no local announce, correct: our camera is off).
  • We toggle on (11) → peer txn6 6 (remote-off, upgrade still outstanding on both layers) → peer txn7 1 (consumes the outstanding upgrade: local-on + remote-on).
  • Three fast off/on cycles (6/11 × 3, ids 15–18, no further peer transactions) → each off announces local-off; each on stays silent (upgrade pending, peer never answers); call hung up with the last upgrade dangling (reaped by ended()).

Every path above converges between our shadow maps (upgrading, upgrades, cameras) and the library's VideoNegotiation, except one cell.

The invalid state

A parked peer upgrade request (upgrades token + CallVideoRequested{pending:true} prompt) was withdrawn on any direct peer state, including Paused/UnknownPeer. The library keeps pending_peer_request across those two states (it clears it only on Enabled/Stopped/teardown), so after the withdraw:

  • this side holds no token to answer with, and
  • begin_local_video_request keeps refusing (pending_peer_request.is_some()Err("video transition already in progress"),

so every camera-on retry opens the device, fails the upgrade, stops it again, and settles off. The camera never turns back on, and nothing resets the state until the peer cancels, re-requests, or the call ends. The prompt withdraw also lies: the peer is still pending library-side.

Fix

project_peer_direction now takes the peer VideoState and only withdraws the parked request where the library ends it (Enabled, Stopped, plus the existing teardown path). Paused/UnknownPeer still project remote-off — their picture really is gone — but the token and prompt survive. Two-line behavior change, one call site.

Tests (failing-first)

  • peer_pause_keeps_the_parked_upgrade_request — failed before, passes after (both Paused and UnknownPeer).
  • peer_enabled_or_stopped_withdraws_the_parked_upgrade_request — locks the states that must still withdraw.
  • paused_keeps_the_peer_request_pending_and_bars_a_local_begin — library contract against the real reducer (pending kept, unanswerable while paused, fresh local begin refused).
  • stopped_then_enabled_around_our_outstanding_upgrade — transcription of the log's txn6→txn7 shape: wait announces remote-off only, completion announces both.

Second facet: unanswered re-enable collapses the call (captain retest)

Retest log oxidezap.github.io-1789062456194.log (call 007ddabd…, video-from-start): web disables (6, 211.251-11, camera closed) then re-enables (11, 211.251-12, camera re-opened, first IDR with SPS/PPS handed to the media plane). The peer re-keys the relay (acked) but never accepts. Relay counters freeze (video_packets 3505, markers 201, IDR 4 — identical before and after): the initiator's send-gated plane admits nothing. At +5s the library timeout sends 9 (UpgradeCancelByTimeout), releases the endpoints, the pump ends unexpectedly, both cameras announce off, and the peer terminates the call. LED on, no picture, then death — deterministically, not a race.

Why the peer never answers: the shared negotiation ignores an upgrade request against an already-active direction (locked by upgrade_request_against_an_active_direction_is_ignored against the real reducer). Every peer 11-answer in both logs happened with the peer's own camera off; every peer-on 11 got silence. A bare Enabled, by contrast, applies unconditionally — it is the only re-add signal an already-video call answers. Cross-checked against WhatsApp Web 2.3000.1044770897: its toggle calls requestVideoUpgrade() only when !isVideo && selfInactive, and always setCallVideoMute(bool) inside a video call; its enum values, inactivity predicate, and either-direction-active call-mode rule are identical to the shared reducer.

Fix: each upgrade we initiate is now watched and withdrawn at 4s when still unanswered — a Stopped the peer applies without touching its own direction, clearing the library's pending request so its 5s timeout finds nothing to cancel (no 9, no mutual teardown) and a later retry can begin. Fenced on the armed camera (an answer clears the map, a newer attempt overwrites it), settled through the newest intent. A late answer still applies cleanly to the stopped direction it finds. Review follow-up (r3982500400): the claim is now atomic under one lock (take_upgrade_attempt), so a peer answer landing mid-take keeps the camera its Local-ON announce stands on instead of being stopped silently.

Tests for the second facet (failing-first)

  • upgrade_request_against_an_active_direction_is_ignored — reducer contract: 11 while active → Ignored; bare Enabled → applied.
  • unanswered_reenable_is_withdrawn_before_the_library_timeout — full fixture with real handles: 11 out, silence, then 6 out with no 9, maps cleared, camera released, settle off, and a retry start_video succeeds (proves the library pending was withdrawn). Fails against a no-op watchdog.
  • upgrade_watchdog_stands_down_once_the_peer_answers / upgrade_watchdog_yields_to_a_newer_attempt — the fence: answered or replaced attempts are never touched.
  • peer_answer_after_the_claim_announces_no_local_camera / take_upgrade_attempt_leaves_a_replaced_attempt_untouched — the atomic claim: an answer after the claim announces remote-only; a replaced attempt is never touched.

Third round: watchdog confirmed live, pre-empt made silent (captain retest 2)

Retest log oxidezap.github.io-1789065890111.log (call 00fab87c…, peer video on throughout): the two post-re-enable 6s carry the watchdog's fingerprint (endpoint release before device close → ended unexpectedly warnings; the user-driven first-cycle off is silent), both library timeouts disarmed (no 9 anywhere), peer direction spared both times. LocalVideo::mark_stopping names the pre-empt asked-for so the pump reads the release as intentional — no more spurious warning or redundant loss spawn. Remote recovery re-ran correctly on both non-keyframe first AUs.

Fourth round: local-off must not kill the remote pump (captain retest 3)

Retest log oxidezap.github.io-1789072483450.log (call 00e5cca6…): turning our camera off ends the remote plane in the same breath (lines 205–207, repeated at 247–249) — the peer's picture freezes until our camera comes back on. Root cause, now fixed on both sides:

  • Upstream (oxidezap/whatsapp-rust#1498, now at ff6a6fea293ed8f6a3e3905bf1d92e910c5a32bc): stop_video releases only the local capture feed and gates outbound off (DisableOutbound); the sink stays attached and inbound keeps decoding. Same split for detach_endpoints/detach_source/detach_sink.
  • Client: LocalVideo::stop_local retires only the capture half; the owner is retained in a new remotes map (never in cameras, so off-state reads and re-enable stay truthful) until call end, replacement, or endpoint closure, when the full stop still retires both halves together. Pump handles are take-once (Option<Task>) because the owner is now stopped in two stages. New test local_stop_leaves_the_remote_pump_attached (failed before, passes after); the pre-existing dropping_or_stopping_the_owner_retires_both_pumps still locks full-teardown behavior.

Upstream pin

All five direct WhatsApp dependencies and their resolved satellites are pinned to oxidezap/whatsapp-rust#1498 at ff6a6fea293ed8f6a3e3905bf1d92e910c5a32bc (was 61b43bb before the direction-local stop commit). Re-enable uses CallHandle::resume_video (ungated + bare Enabled, no handshake epoch); the client watchdog stays only for genuine audio→video upgrades with its deadline derived from the now-public VIDEO_UPGRADE_TIMEOUT; resume eligibility reads back CallHandle::video_states() directly. The Semver Checks warning on 1498 is expected (intentional new public API). Return the pin to upstream main after 1498 merges.

Verification

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace --all-features: green, except load-dependent flakes that also fail on unmodified base (whatsapp::tests::a_session_is_never_observed_half_open, and once a_plugin_that_wakes_itself_forever_is_held_to_its_share in an untouched crate — both pass alone and threaded).
  • cargo test --manifest-path xtask/Cargo.toml: 49 passed.
  • Docs: docs/video-lifecycle.md (evidence entry) and docs/gotchas.md (watchdog note).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The call registry now manages unanswered local video upgrades with a guarded watchdog. It preserves parked peer requests for paused or unknown peers and withdraws resolved requests. The video plane supports staged local shutdown. Tests and documentation cover retry behavior, camera ownership, timeout sequencing, and the pinned dependency revision.

Changes

Video upgrade lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local upgrade watchdog and staged shutdown
crates/session/src/whatsapp/calls/registry.rs, crates/session/src/video/plane.rs
Local upgrades can resume active peer video without a new upgrade. New upgrades start a guarded watchdog that withdraws only the current attempt. Local capture can stop while the remote pump remains active.
Peer video state projection
crates/session/src/whatsapp/calls/registry.rs
project_peer_direction preserves parked requests for Paused and UnknownPeer. It withdraws requests for resolved states.
Upgrade lifecycle validation and documentation
crates/session/src/whatsapp/calls/registry.rs, crates/session/src/whatsapp/calls/registry/acceptance_fixture.rs, docs/gotchas.md, docs/video-lifecycle.md
Tests and documentation cover unanswered upgrades, answered or replaced attempts, camera ownership, retry behavior, remote-pump retention, and library timeout sequencing.
Dependency revision pinning
Cargo.toml
Workspace git dependencies now use a fixed shared revision instead of the main branch.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e0f37

Turning off the camera can unexpectedly stop incoming video, and an old watchdog can disrupt a newer video attempt. These call-lifecycle regressions should be fixed before merge.

1582-1582: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use staged shutdown for explicit camera-off requests.

set_call_video(false) calls LocalVideo::stop(), which performs full shutdown and closes the remote sink and pump. Route this branch through stop_owned_video so stop_local() retains inbound video. Do not duplicate its peer-stop or UI cleanup.
