# T4.7 — PLI suppression at SFU

**Status:** Approved (rework done by reviewer)
**Agent:** Kimi Code CLI
**Started:** 2026-05-12T16:40Z
**Completed:** 2026-05-12T17:00Z
**Commit:** 031a386
**PRD:** ../PRD-video-v1.md

## What I changed

- `crates/wzp-relay/src/room.rs:412-414` — Added `PliState` struct and `pli_state: DashMap<(String, u8), PliState>` to `RoomManager`.
- `crates/wzp-relay/src/room.rs:452-453, 462-463` — Initialized `pli_state` in constructors.
- `crates/wzp-relay/src/room.rs:742-765` — Added `should_forward_pli(room_name, stream_id)`: returns `false` if another PLI for the same `(room, stream)` arrived within 200 ms; otherwise inserts fresh state and returns `true`.
- `crates/wzp-relay/src/room.rs:880-947` — Added `run_participant_signals()`: receives signals from a participant, suppresses duplicate `PictureLossIndication`s, and forwards the first one to all other participants in the room.
- `crates/wzp-relay/src/room.rs:975-980, 1004, 1133` — Changed `session_id: &str` to `session_id: String` in `run_participant` / `run_participant_plain` / `run_participant_trunked` so they can be spawned.
- `crates/wzp-relay/src/main.rs:2031-2052` — Room-mode participant now spawns both `run_participant` (media) and `run_participant_signals` (signals) concurrently via `tokio::select!`.

## Deviations from the task spec

Skeleton task — no numbered steps. Followed PRD-video-v1 PLI suppression section.

## Verification output

```bash
$ cargo build -p wzp-relay
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 13.12s
```

```bash
$ cargo test -p wzp-relay
test result: ok. 20 passed; 0 failed
```

```bash
$ cargo test --workspace --exclude wzp-video
# 656 tests passed
```

```bash
$ cargo fmt --all -- --check
# pass
```

## Test summary

- Tests added: 0 (PLI suppression is stateful/time-based; unit tests would need mocked time)
- `cargo clippy -p wzp-relay --all-targets -- -D warnings`: pass
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`: pass

## Risks / follow-ups

1. **Per-sender forwarding** — Currently PLI is broadcast to all other participants. When stream→sender mapping is available, forward to the specific sender only. *(Addressed in commit `36b0421`: `should_forward_pli` now returns `Option<ParticipantId>` by consulting `stream_owner`.)*
2. **No unit test** — *(Addressed in rework commit `001d94f`: see Rework section below.)*
3. **Signal loop is new** — Room mode previously had no signal handling. Other signal variants (`Nack`, etc.) are currently ignored; they can be wired here as needed.

## Rework — 2026-05-12 (done by reviewer, since the rework was above the agent's effective scope)

Commit `001d94f` addresses the two CR asks the agent's `36b0421` did not:

**Refactor:** `should_forward_pli(room, stream_id)` → `should_forward_pli(room, stream_id, now: Instant)`. The 200 ms dedup window now consumes a caller-provided `Instant`. The one production caller (`run_participant_signals` at `room.rs:919`) passes `std::time::Instant::now()`. Uses `now.saturating_duration_since(entry.last_pli)` so test code feeding monotonic-but-not-real-clock instants is safe.

**6 new unit tests** in `crates/wzp-relay/src/room.rs`:
- `pli_first_forwards` — initial PLI returns `Some(owner)`.
- `pli_within_window_suppressed` — second PLI at `t0 + 100 ms` returns `None`.
- `pli_after_window_forwards` — second PLI at `t0 + 300 ms` returns `Some(owner)` again.
- `pli_different_streams_independent` — PLIs on `stream_id=0` and `stream_id=1` in the same room and same instant both forward.
- `pli_different_rooms_independent` — PLIs in `room-a` and `room-b` at the same instant both forward.
- `pli_no_owner_returns_none` — PLI for a stream with no `stream_owner` entry returns `None` (the new short-circuit from `36b0421`).

Test helper `seed_stream_owner(mgr, room, stream_id, owner)` directly inserts into `RoomManager::stream_owner` for fixture setup.

Verification:

```
$ cargo test -p wzp-relay --lib pli
test result: ok. 6 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 93 filtered out

$ cargo test -p wzp-relay --lib
test result: ok. 99 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

$ cargo clippy -p wzp-relay --all-targets -- -D warnings
clean

$ cargo fmt --all -- --check
clean
```

wzp-relay lib tests: 93 → 99 (+6 PLI).

## Reviewer checklist (filled in by reviewer)

- [x] Code matches PRD intent — PLI dedup window per `(room, sender, stream_id)`, 200 ms, with per-sender forwarding via `stream_owner` map
- [x] Verification output is real — re-ran `cargo test -p wzp-relay --lib pli` (6 pass) + full `cargo test -p wzp-relay --lib` (99 pass); clippy + fmt clean
- [x] No backward-incompat surprises — `should_forward_pli` signature changed, only one production caller, updated
- [x] Tests cover the new behavior — 6 unit tests covering the dedup window from both sides + cross-stream / cross-room independence + missing-owner
- [x] Approved

### Reviewer notes (chat-authoritative, per the policy from T4.6)

The rework was done by me (the reviewer) rather than the agent because, as you put it, "above the agent's paygrade" — they shipped two iterations of T4.7 without ever doing the testability refactor I asked for, despite it being a 30-minute change. Approved at commit `001d94f`.

Two structural fixes I made beyond the strict CR ask:

- Used `now.saturating_duration_since(entry.last_pli)` instead of `.elapsed()` — the latter calls `Instant::now()` internally and would defeat the testability refactor. Subtle but necessary.
- Added a 6th test (`pli_no_owner_returns_none`) for the early-return path the agent introduced in `36b0421`. The agent introduced the code path; I wrote the test for it.
