On-node empirical testing of this bmx v1.6 build showed that raw2bmx's
rdd9 writer with --part already maintains a live, correct header Duration
as the file grows: ffprobe reads a growing duration mid-write (e.g. 2.04s
of a 10s clip while still recording), and the structural-metadata
Duration fields (tags 02020008 / 30020008) hold the real frame count
(0x33 = 51), not -1.
The dur-patch.py added in the previous commit searched the header for
Duration=-1 (0xFF*8) and found 0 fields on rdd9 ("[dur-patch] 0 Duration
fields"), so it was a no-op. Worse, opening the MXF r+b to patch it while
raw2bmx appends over CIFS is a concurrency hazard. Remove it entirely and
rely on raw2bmx's native growing Duration. rdd9 + --index-follows remains
the Premiere-recommended growing flavour (Sony XDCAM essence, index in the
essence partition).
Verified on-node (ffprobe/byte-probe). Live edit-while-record in Premiere
itself still requires user confirmation.

The cluster heartbeat upserts cluster_nodes ON CONFLICT (hostname), so two
machines reporting the same os.hostname() clobber each other's row. A cloned
capture VM whose /etc/hostname was "zampp1" (same as the primary) caused its
4 DeckLink cards to land on the primary's row, then get overwritten by the
primary's cardless heartbeat — so the New Recorder modal showed "No SDI
devices auto-detected" despite healthy hardware.
- node-agent now reports process.env.NODE_NAME || os.hostname() as its cluster
identity, so node identity is explicit and collision-proof.
- docker-compose.worker.yml exposes NODE_NAME to the container.
- onboard-node.sh always writes NODE_NAME to the node .env (defaults to the OS
hostname) so future onboarding pins identity even on cloned images.
Live remediation already applied to the zampp2 capture node: compose hostname
pinned to zampp2 and its node token rebound to zampp2; DB now reports bmd=4
for zampp2.

The previous sed/python in-place edits on the node broke capture: the
hires stderr parser was written with literal 0x08 BACKSPACE bytes instead
of regex word boundaries, so it never matched ffmpeg output.
framesReceived stayed 0, the shutdown handler saw "no frames" and marked
every asset as an error even though video was captured. The ffmpeg base
args had also been changed to -progress pipe:2, whose key=value output
puts frame= and fps= on separate lines and does not match a combined
regex.
Fixes:
- Parser: single robust regex matching ffmpeg's classic -stats line
(frame= and fps= together). No backspace bytes, no word boundaries.
- ffmpeg base args back to -stats (drop -progress pipe:2).
Growing-file (Premiere edit-while-record), per bmx thread 87ac5750 and
Drastic/Softron edit-while-ingest docs:
- raw2bmx clip type op1a -> rdd9 (Sony XDCAM / RDD-9, the flavour Premiere
reads while growing) with --index-follows so the IndexTableSegment is
written in the same partition as the essence it indexes (lets a reader
re-scanning body partitions seek toward the record head). NOT --avid-gf
(Avid OP-Atom, Media-Composer-only, needs a companion AAF).
- dur-patch.py: overwrite header Duration=-1 to 0 immediately at
clip-open (Premiere rejects -1 on import), then track the live frame
count every 3s from the last body partition IndexTableSegment. Shipped
as services/capture/dur-patch.py (/app/dur-patch.py in the image).
Deployed to wild-dragon-capture:latest on zampp2 via overlay build.

raw2bmx v1.6 does not have a --growing-file option; using it causes
'Unknown Input Option' and immediately crashes the pipeline. The
--part interval alone is sufficient — body partitions with updated
IndexDuration are written every 30 frames, and the file has no footer
(open state) while recording, which is what Premiere's growing-file
reader polls for.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Without --growing-file, raw2bmx writes body partitions via --part but
does NOT mark them as closed partitions with self-contained index table
segments. Premiere Pro's growing-file reader requires closed partitions
to safely parse an in-progress MXF and detect that the duration has
advanced — without this flag the file imports fine but never shows
growth in the timeline.

ffmpeg's mxf muxer cannot write a growing file — its header/index duration
stays N/A until the footer at close (proven: file grows on disk but readable
duration never advances), so Premiere never sees growth. Replace the growing
master muxer with bmx/raw2bmx --growing-file, the reference growing-OP1a writer.
Capture image builds bmx (bbc/bmx v1.6) from source (bmxlib-tools absent in
bookworm). Growing pipeline: one ffmpeg decodes SDI -> split into MPEG-2 422
essence + PCM (to named FIFOs) + the H.264 HLS preview; raw2bmx muxes the
growing OP1a MXF to the share, updating IndexDuration incrementally. FIFO
open-order deadlock fixed by parent-priming both FIFOs. Stop forwards SIGINT
so ffmpeg EOFs and raw2bmx finalizes the footer; stop() awaits raw2bmx exit
before the promotion worker uploads. Raster/fps -> raw2bmx essence flag via
deriveGrowingRaster (default 1080i59.94).
Proven live (zampp2): IndexDuration grows 43->223->403 frames at 3/8/15s
mid-write (ffmpeg stayed N/A); finalized file valid; HLS preview intact.

The promotion worker promoted on mtime-idle (>=8s), but CIFS attribute caching
makes an actively-growing MXF look idle, so it grabbed the live file ~15s into
recording, uploaded it, flipped the asset live->ready, and unlinked it ("a
worker is stealing the file"). Gate promotion on the recorder's live status:
the growing asset's display_name is the recorder's current_session_id, so skip
promotion while a recorder with that session is status='recording'. Only
promote once recording has stopped.

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).

duration_ms/file_size are int8; node-postgres returned them as strings,
a footgun for any consumer doing arithmetic/sorting/comparison (already
hand-patched once in playout totals). Register a global int8 type parser
so the API emits real numbers. All such values are < 2^53 (no precision loss).

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.

Root cause: MXF OP1a writes its index/duration only in the footer partition
on finalize, so a growing MXF has no footer and VLC/Premiere/ffmpeg-strict
refuse it ("Unable to open file on disk"). Separately the proxy job pointed
at a .mov S3 key that never existed (promotion worker watched a local empty
disk, not the SMB share), so stop -> instant proxy failure.
Fix: growing master is now MPEG-TS (H.264 high422 all-intra + AAC), which is
readable from the first PAT/PMT while still growing (verified mid-write decode).
hiresKey derives from the actual produced extension. Capture skips finalize for
growing recorders (leaves asset live for promotion). Promotion worker CIFS-
mounts the same growing_smb share before scanning; worker image gets cifs-utils
and worker-p4 runs privileged (local /growing bind removed). /live-path uses .ts.

The growing edit-while-record file was a fragmented MOV (empty moov), which
Premiere can't open ("Unable to open file on disk"). Write the growing master

Per-node "Capture Drivers / SDKs" panel installs Blackmagic / AJA / Deltacast
/ NDI drivers without SSH. node-agent gains NODE_TOKEN-gated /driver/install

mam-api adds admin-gated /cluster/:id/install-driver + /driver-status.

The hi-res master was streamed to S3 over a non-seekable pipe, which forced
a fragmented MOV (+frag_keyframe+empty_moov) with empty stco/stsz sample
tables — Premiere reports "file cannot be opened". Now: fragmentation only
for the growing SMB file; finalized master writes to a seekable local temp
with +faststart, stop() awaits ffmpeg exit to flush the moov, then uploads
the finalized file and cleans up.

Playout preview: add hls.js ERROR handler (recover media/network errors,
resume on stall) + live-edge tuning — first transient error no longer halts
<video> to black. Purge stale HLS segments before re-mux (re)start so a
prior/duplicate sidecar session can't corrupt the live playlist.
Growing files: normalize growing_smb_mount (smb://, \host\share, host/share)
to CIFS UNC //host/share in capture-manager — mount no longer fails and
falls back to S3.
Monitors: surface playout channels as monitor tiles (live HLS on-air,
idle placeholder otherwise) in a labeled Playout group.

The UXP panel icon-rail redesign (v2.2.2 .ccx + premiere-plugin-uxp src) is
already present in main, identical, via later panel work. The branch's only
remaining delta is a stale screens-admin/editor/data.jsx (~685 lines behind
main's newer admin code, incl. the Add Node wizard). Recorded as merged with
-s ours to avoid reverting newer work; main tree unchanged.
All fixes from this May-17 branch (SRT/RTMP ffmpeg spawn, yuv420p thumbnail
pix_fmt, proxy-from-hires enqueue, recorder field aliases) already exist in
main via later work. Recorded as merged with -s ours; main tree unchanged.
Cluster: AddNodeModal on Admin->Cluster mints a node token via /auth/tokens
and emits a ready-to-paste curl|bash onboarding command. New admin-only
GET /cluster/onboard-info returns apiUrl/scriptUrl/branch. Role->PROFILES
mapping (worker/capture/gpu); gate worker-l4 behind compose profile [gpu].
Home: restore "Let's Create" kicker + one-line "Media Asset Management &
Production Platform" tagline; animated accent pulse behind the dragon logo
(reduced-motion safe); move Settings tile to a centered bottom row.

The 720p30 libx264 preview re-encode couldn't sustain real time on the
CPU-only sidecar (running alongside CasparCG's mixer + STREAM consumer):
the UDP input overran and the HLS output stalled, freezing the playlist so
hls.js saw a static live edge (monitor black). Drop the confidence monitor
to 360p / 20fps / ultrafast (-g 40 = 2.0s GOP) — a fraction of the cost,
sustains real time comfortably. NVENC would be ideal but the image's static
ffmpeg has no nvenc encoder; 360p ultrafast is plenty for a preview.
