Adds an end-to-end RTP-arrival latency probe that runs as a dedicated
CI job and asserts p95 < 50ms.
Implementation
--------------
A build-tagged test (-tags latency, off by default) sends 1000
synthetic RTP packets at 60Hz into corewebrtc.Source and reads them
back via a Pion subscriber's track.ReadRTP(). Each packet's payload
starts with the publisher's UnixNano send time; the subscriber diffs
against time.Now() at arrival and accumulates p50/p95/p99.
This exercises every link of the egress hop: Source UDP read,
subscriber fan-out, forwardRTPSplit, Pion's TrackLocalStaticRTP
write, DTLS-SRTP encrypt, ICE socket write, decrypt at the
subscriber, RTP unmarshal at ReadRTP. Pure server-side; no FFmpeg
or codecs involved.
Why not glass-to-glass
----------------------
The design's §7 calls for FFmpeg drawtext frame counters + decode-
side pixel sampling, p95<300ms RTMP / <200ms SRT. Implementing that
in pure Go needs a cgo H.264 decoder or an FFmpeg sidecar pipe — a
significantly bigger lift for a marginal regression-detection win
(encode/decode latency is roughly fixed by the codec stack and
isn't moved by Core code changes). The server-hop measurement
captures everything Core code can actually regress.
Threshold
---------
50ms p95. Locally observed on a quiet host:
p50=110µs, p95=237µs, p99=318µs.
The 50ms gate is ~200x headroom — generous enough to absorb CI
runner noise without false alarms, tight enough to catch a real
slowdown.
Race-clean: latencySamples uses a sync.Mutex around the slice append
(initial draft had a slice racing with the receive goroutine; vet
caught it).
Documented in test/TESTING.md and wired to .forgejo/workflows/test.yml
as the latency-gate job (depends on lint-and-vet, parallel with test
and webrtc-smoke).

Three artifacts that close out the easier half of the M4 milestone:
1. .forgejo/workflows/test.yml — CI on every push and PR. Three jobs:
- lint-and-vet: go vet + go build (~30s)
- test: go test -race -short ./... + a no-race coverage
pass that uploads coverage.out as an artifact
- webrtc-smoke: TestIntegration_FiveViewerFanout and the rest of
the WebRTC subsystem tests in isolation, so a
failure on the egress path stays readable in the
log.
Pinned to Go 1.24 to match go.mod. The forge has a
forgejo-runner sibling container; this YAML uses GitHub Actions
syntax which Forgejo Actions accepts unchanged.
2. test/whep-player.html — self-contained browser WHEP subscriber for
manual smoke testing. RTCPeerConnection (recvonly V+A) + fetch()
POST/DELETE/PATCH against /api/v3/whep/:id, ICE/PC state pills,
inbound-bitrate sampling at 1 Hz, codec hint pulled from the answer
SDP, JWT token field, ?url=&token= shareable query string. No
external deps; works from file:// or any static host.
3. test/TESTING.md — short doc that ties together the in-process race
tests, the browser player, and the existing Pion CLI helper at
test/whep-client/. Notes the latency p95 gate as a follow-up.
Latency gate (FFmpeg drawtext frame counter + decode-side pixel
sampling, p95 < 300ms RTMP / < 200ms SRT) is queued for a separate
PR — it's a several-hundred-line addition in its own right and
shouldn't block CI from landing.

The M2 WHEP route lives under /api/v3 and inherits Core's JWT auth.
The M1 test client was written for the unauth'd PoC port; without
this flag it's useless against the real Core build.
- Subscribe() and postOffer() take a token string; empty means no
Authorization header (M1 behavior preserved).
- main.go gains a -token flag.
- main_test.go pass empty token (existing tests run against an
in-process unauth'd handler).

whep-client/main.go: minimal Pion subscriber that POSTs a recvonly
offer, applies the answer, and waits for one RTP packet on each of
the video and audio tracks. Used as M1's end-to-end verifier.
whep-client/main_test.go: in-process e2e wiring — stands up Source,
Registry, PeerFactory and WHEPHandler behind an httptest server,
injects synthetic PT=102/111 RTP on the Source's UDP port and calls
Subscribe. Validates the full egress pipeline without requiring
FFmpeg or external network. Skipped under -short.
Generates a synthetic testsrc2 video + sine audio and pushes H.264/Opus
RTP to the webrtc-poc's UDP port, using the hard-coded payload types
(102 video, 111 audio) the M1 forwarder dispatches on. Intended to be
run alongside test/whep-client (M1 Task 11) for end-to-end verification.
