A/V REGRESSION (no audio + start stutter): capture-manager.js dropped the
-use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 flag on the audio FIFO input (re-added by
d6b0b3a). Wallclock stamped audio by arrival time while video is CFR
frame-count, so audio ran 3-18% longer and master aresample padded seconds
of LEADING SILENCE → silent head, late video start, apparent 'no audio'.
Removing it restores the sample-count PTS baseline (8e5405c/55a72af):
audio shares the SDI clock domain, no drift, no pad.
GUI BUG A (elapsed showed 1hr+ on standby/just-started): frontend seeded
elapsed from recorder.started_at = the standby CONTAINER boot time (hours
old). Now seeds ONLY from the sidecar session duration (liveStatus.duration
when live.recording), shows nothing when idle. Backend /status now returns
session-scoped duration + recording flag, not container uptime.
GUI BUG B (false 'stopped' signal on idle ports): backend inferred signal
from container Running state (running->receiving, down->stopped) — so idle
standby ports with down sidecars showed red 'stopped'. Now signal comes
from the sidecar session (live.recording); standby = neutral 'idle', never
a false 'stopped'/'receiving'.
The growing_promote_after_seconds setting was stored but NEVER read — no
scanner existed, so growing clips only left the SMB share on a manual
right-click 'Move to S3'. This adds the missing automation:
- promotion-scanner.js: every 60s, finds pending_migration assets idle
(updated_at) longer than settings.growing_promote_after_seconds and
enqueues a promotion job. Idempotent (status guard + stable jobId) so
it's safe on every promotion worker. 12h default fallback.
- worker/index.js: starts the scanner on promotion-capable workers.
- Settings UI: the delay field is now 'Auto-promote to S3 after (hours)'
(converts hours<->seconds; storage stays seconds). Notes the manual
Library right-click 'Move to S3' option too.
Manual promotion (right-click Move to S3) and the safe HLS-segment live
thumbnail were already implemented and working.
Growing mode now shows an editable 'XDCAM HD422 bitrate (Mbps)' input (codec stays fixed to the growing MXF path). Default seeds to 50 Mbps for growing, 25 for GPU master. Backend already honored recording_video_bitrate via _buildGrowingOrchestrator -b:v/minrate/maxrate; this surfaces the control in the config modal.
- mam-api: dockerLogs() + demuxDockerStream() — the local container-log path
JSON.parsed Docker's raw multiplexed stream and always returned '(no logs)';
now strips stdcopy framing and returns readable text (tail configurable).
- web-ui: new Logs admin page — every container across every node grouped by
node in a left rail, live-follow log viewer with filter + copy on the right.
Reuses the now-working /cluster/containers/:node/:id/logs endpoint.
- web-ui: Containers screen now polls every 5s (was load-once) so the
cross-cluster view stays live without manual refresh.
- icons: add server + file glyphs (were referenced but missing -> blank).
- nav: Logs wired into the Admin sidebar section + routes + breadcrumbs.
The persistent ~2.5s of leading silence was the master aresample=async=1 PADDING
the audio to reconcile a PTS-origin mismatch: video PTS starts at frame 0
(-framerate), but -use_wallclock_as_timestamps stamped the first audio chunk at
its wall-clock arrival time (~2.5s after the ffmpeg graph opened). aresample
filled the gap with silence.
Drop wallclock: audio PTS now comes from the 48kHz sample count starting at 0 —
the same origin as video frame 0 — so the streams align with no pad. The bridge
already hands live audio (backlog flushed on attach), so no rate reference is
needed from wallclock.
- restore -use_wallclock_as_timestamps on audio input: without it ffmpeg's raw
s16le reader stalled the graph (NVENC idle at 9%, ~half frames dropped). With
it + long-GOP HEVC the encoder runs realtime and A/V length stays locked.
- remove all CPU codec options (prores*, dnxh*, libx264/265) from recorder UI;
GPU NVENC only (hevc_nvenc / h264_nvenc). 3x L4 cluster, no reason for CPU.
- GPU codec defaults in env builders + proxy default h264_nvenc.
Recorders are now physical capture ports, not user-created rows:
- migration 036: label, enabled, auto_provisioned + UNIQUE(node_id,device_index)
(the structural fix that makes two recorders sharing a port impossible)
- mam-api: auto-provision one recorder row per port from heartbeat capabilities
(reconcileRecordersForNode); create-once, never overwrites operator config
- mam-api: POST /:id/enable + /:id/disable (provision/teardown standby sidecar);
PATCH accepts label; config persists across enable/disable
- node-agent: freeCapturePort() force-removes any container on a capture port
before standby/start — eliminates the EADDRINUSE collisions
- web-ui: recorder menu grouped by node (online/offline), Enable/Disable toggle,
per-recorder config modal (codec/bitrate/growing/label/project), friendly
label over hardware name, no destructive delete
Fixes the delete/recreate churn that orphaned standby sidecars and collided on
capture ports during this session's outage.
- services/capture/src/capture-manager.js:
- Added 5s pre-roll delay for Deltacast, Blackmagic, and SDI capture paths.
- Activates when is present.
- Spawns the process immediately, drains/discards the unstable frames for 5 seconds, and then pipes the stdout of the to the actual process.
- Keeps the master output perfectly clean from frame 0.
- services/web-ui/public/screens-ingest.jsx:
- Removed currentFps framerate display from both recording and idle status states.
- Revert accent from Flame Blue #1025A1 to electric amber #E8821C
- Restore all rgba accent values to orange spectrum
- Revert avatar to bg-3 background + accent text (was blue bg + white)
- Revert primary button text to dark #0a0c10 (was white on blue)
- Restore centered hero with logo pulse + 'Let's Create' kicker
- Restore single-grid tile layout (all tiles in one launcher-grid)
- Restore settings as separate centered row below main grid
- Restore centered footer + large wordmark with amber glow

Replace the HLS 'connecting…' player in the library with a real frame grabbed
from the start of the recording, while the recording is still live.
Flow:
- recorders.js already pre-creates the asset as status='live' + ASSET_ID env
- capture-manager.start() fires _publishLiveThumbnail() (non-blocking): polls
/live/<id> for the first seg-*.ts, extracts frame 0 via ffmpeg (scaled JPEG,
yuvj420p), uploads to S3 thumbnails/<id>.jpg, then POSTs the key to mam-api
- new mam-api POST /assets/:id/live-thumbnail sets thumbnail_s3_key on the still
-live row (status untouched); idempotent no-op once finalized
- visuals.jsx AssetThumb: for live assets, show the static poster once the key /
signed URL is available, else fall back to the live HLS preview. Pulsing LIVE
border kept either way
- POST /assets gains an optional status param (default 'processing'); 'live'
skips the proxy/thumbnail queue
- capture /stop route now finalizes the pre-created asset by id (guarded) instead
of POSTing a duplicate

Replace the electric amber placeholder with the official brand accent from
the Wild Dragon Forge Noir Edition identity guide (Pantone 286 C).
- --accent: #1025A1 (Flame Blue)
- --accent-hover: #1830B8 (Ember-adjacent)
- --accent-text: #C7CFEA (Halo — readable on dark surfaces, 13:1 contrast)
- Primary button text reverts to white (11.7:1 contrast on Flame Blue)
- Avatar uses Flame Blue background + white initials
- All rgba hardcodes updated to match new hue across CSS and JSX

Lever 1 (color): Replace #5B7CFA AI-blue with electric amber #E8821C across
all accent tokens, tile tones, logo glows, and hardcoded rgba values. Dark
text on amber primary buttons for WCAG AA contrast.
Lever 2 (home): Collapse centered logo hero into compact left-aligned header.
Split tile grid into primary ops row (Library, Recorders, Playout) + secondary
4-col row (Downloads, Jobs, Dashboard, Settings) with reduced visual weight.
Lever 3 (typography): Remove v1.2.0 from sidebar. Fix em-dashes to hyphens or
periods across all visible UI strings (option labels, body copy, error messages).
Topbar height 56px -> 48px.
Lever 4 (motion): Staggered entry animation for launcher tiles
(prefers-reduced-motion gated). Tactile scale(0.97) on primary/record buttons.
Smooth 150ms nav active-item transitions.
Lever 5 (blocks): Jobs stats row semantic card variants (amber glow when
active, red border when failed, quiet muted style for Total).
Lever 6 (spacing): Topbar 48px, launcher inner gap tightened, status left-aligned.

ROOT CAUSE of 'connecting' hangs and intermittent port failures:
The DELTA-12G-e-h 8c is a bidirectional card. Without calling
VHD_SetBiDirCfg(board_index, VHD_BIDIR_80) before streaming, the
board remains in its default bi-dir config (likely 4RX/4TX) — so
RX stream opens fail with VHDERR_RESOURCEUNAVAILABLE on channels
configured as TX, causing random 'connecting' hangs per the SDK docs.
Per SDK Tools.cpp SetNbChannels() pattern:
1. Open temporary board handle
2. Check IS_BIDIR + channel counts
3. Call VHD_SetBiDirCfg(board_index, VHD_BIDIR_80) for 8ch bidir
4. Close temp handle, then open real board handle for streaming
Also add VHD_SetChannelProperty(VHD_CHANNEL_MODE_SDI) for ASI-type
channels per Sample_RX.cpp — required for 12G-ASI/3G-ASI channel
types to correctly detect incoming video standard.

- MonitorTile now persists lastAssetId in local state so tiles continue
showing content after a recording stops (frozen HLS, then thumbnail)
- When recording stops: HlsPreview stays alive briefly while segments are
hot, then fetches /api/v1/assets/{id}/thumbnail for a frozen still
- Idle tiles that never recorded show FauxFrame with IDLE badge as before
- Per-tile elapsed timer ticks every second using feed.started_at
- capturePort badge (Port N / SDI N) visible on each tile
- Monitors poll interval tightened from 5s -> 3s for faster live_asset_id pickup

- Recorder cards now display a Port chip showing the bridge port (deltacast)
or SDI device index (blackmagic) so operators can see at a glance which
physical input each recorder is bound to.
- Schedule blocks render with a green accent + flame glyph when the backing
recorder has growing_enabled=true, so the EPG view distinguishes
edit-while-record slots from regular close-then-publish recordings.

Live/in-progress assets had no thumbnail_s3_key, so AssetThumb fell
through to FauxFrame (black box) and then an absolute red border div
was drawn on top, producing the 'black box with red outline' symptom.
Fix: when asset.status === 'live', render a new LiveThumb component
instead of FauxFrame + border overlay. LiveThumb attaches hls.js (or
native HLS on Safari) to /live/<assetId>/index.m3u8, shows a muted
live video feed, and displays a 'Connecting…' placeholder with a
record icon + live-colour border while the manifest loads. Falls back
to a 'Recording…' placeholder if hls.js is unavailable or playback
fails after retries.
The red border overlay is removed from the non-live path; the LIVE
badge rendered by AssetCard's thumb-status div still appears on top
of the live video.

- _normRecorder: add framerate field (recording_framerate || 'native');
remove stale static elapsed calc (was computing at poll time, never ticked)
- RecorderRow: replace frozen useMemo elapsed with a live 1s setInterval
that anchors to liveStatus.duration (authoritative from capture container)
and falls back to wall-clock diff from recorder.started_at so the counter
starts immediately on record and never freezes between 3s status polls
- displayFramerate: shows currentFps (2dp + 'fps') when recorder is live and
currentFps > 0; falls back to configured recording_framerate or 'native'
- Framerate stat block: always visible (was conditional on currentFps != null);
replaced the separate FPS-only block with a unified Framerate stat
- Also fixes latent padStart(2, '00') typo on minutes field in old elapsed calc

Remove 'Capture' from the Operations nav section in shell.jsx — users
configure recorders via the Recorders page; the Capture route/component
is left intact for any remaining references.
Also remove 'capture' from the ingest open-group list (it was listed
as an ingest child despite living in Operations, now moot).
Add a prominent amber warning banner at the top of the Playout page
body (screens-playout.jsx) to make clear the feature is in testing and
not ready for production use.
No cherry-pick from fix/library-and-signal-indicator — all commits on
that branch are already present on main.
The Deltacast picker's selected index is the capture channel on the single
board. Write it into source_config.port (in addition to device_index) so the
capture sidecar maps "pick channel N" to the bridge's --port N. device_index is
retained for backward-compatible display/fallback.

Growing root cause (4th attempt): Premiere doesn't import H.264-in-.ts
("unsupported compression type"); its growing-file support is MXF OP1a.
Prior MXF/DNxHR failed because DNxHR is VBR and never flushes the incremental
index — XDCAM HD422 (mpeg2video, CBR) DOES write index segments into body
partitions mid-record (proven live via SIGKILL: 5 index segments, readable,
no footer). Growing master is now MXF OP1a / XDCAM HD422 4:2:2 CBR + PCM s16le,
operator bitrate as CBR (default 50M). live-path returns .mxf to match.
GUI: bitrate input is now always editable in growing mode (was hidden for
ProRes-selected codecs); codec menu shown disabled-with-explanation under
growing (it had only looked "missing" due to a stale served bundle).
Requires Premiere prefs: Media > "Automatically refresh growing files" ON,
and disable the two XMP-write-on-import options.

screens-playout.jsx declared a top-level function fmtDuration(secs) that, in
the shared global script scope, overwrote data.jsx's fmtDuration(ms). After
the playout redesign loaded, normalizeAsset(duration_ms) hit the seconds-based
version, rendering every asset duration x1000 (15000ms shown as 4:10:00).
Rename the playout-local helpers to playoutFmtDur/playoutFmtTC.

Growing master was H.264 High 4:2:2 Intra (high422/yuv422p) — ffprobe/VLC
open it but Adobe Premiere's H.264 importer only accepts 8-bit 4:2:0, so it
refused ("won't import"). Switch growing video to -profile:v high
-pix_fmt yuv420p (still -g 1 all-intra). Also the growing branch ignored the
operator's bitrate; now applies -b:v/-maxrate/-bufsize. Modal notes that
growing mode fixes codec/container (bitrate still applies).

Drop in the redesigned timeline-centric Playout (PGM monitor, transport,
SCTE-35 card, as-run drawer) from the on-node redesign, fully wired to the
real playout API (channels/transport/HLS preview w/ error-recovery/as-run);
no mock data. In-page ConfirmModal for destructive actions.
SCTE-35: new playout_scte_breaks table (migration 033), endpoints to
schedule/trigger/list/cancel breaks (POST/GET/DELETE /channels/:id/scte[/trigger]),
scheduler due-break sweep, engine triggerScte + auto-return + as-run 'scte'
rows + on-air SCTE-BREAK state and timeline AD markers. In-stream SCTE-35
cue injection is a documented stub (CasparCG FFMPEG consumer exposes no
scte35 muxer) — scheduling/triggering/countdown/as-run are functional.
