egocap: align camera, glove and controller time; show latency and fps - #1459
Puts camera video, glove and controller data on one PC timeline for recording, and shows end-to-end latency and fps on the page. This is the egocap half of the timing work; the camera-side clock code is in the PR it builds on.
One clock path. The PC (recorder) and the browser each run a four-timestamp exchange with the camera publisher over LiveKit data messages; the publisher answers with its monotonic clock. A mapping carries its uncertainty (half the round trip plus a drift allowance that grows with age at read time). A take ends on a missing, stale, jumped or over-budget mapping (EGOCAP_CLOCK_UNCERTAINTY_BUDGET_MS, default 5 ms, a policy choice).
Recorded timestamps. Camera frames are recorded only on a monotonic basis: monotonic_us (the publisher's frame-ready time, the native sender's default) or capture_monotonic_us (sensor capture event). Tracking keeps the existing host poll timestamp. The take's timing attributes save the mapping evidence, the budget, what each camera time means (frame_ready / sensor_capture) and what each tracking time means.
Page. Latency runs from the publisher's per-frame stamp (matched by RTP timestamp) to the expected display time; fps comes from presented frames.
Emulator. The Orin emulator models a publisher clock (offset, drift, capture-to-publish delay) and answers the clock exchange, so the PC side can be tested without a Jetson.
Agent-only plan notes are no longer checked in (agentPlans/ is git-ignored).
Limits
Frame-ready time is later than the sensor's capture event; neither basis proves physical alignment between camera, glove and controllers.
Tracking device times (controller pose-evaluation time, Manus receipt/publishTime) are not carried into recordings; that needs changes outside egocap.
Validation
Run before the timing PR was split into a Sensing part and this egocap part (this branch's tree is identical to the unsplit one; the suites were not re-run after the split):
pytest over tests/backend, tests/capture_server, tests/tools, tests/recording_service: 1181 passed, 100 skipped, 1 failed (tests/capture_server/test_gmsl_ipc.py::test_pipeline_serves_each_announced_frame_once_downscaled_as_jpeg, in code this PR does not touch; not checked against a clean checkout).
Frontend: vitest 386 passed, tsc --noEmit clean.
A take recorded through the local LiveKit server and the mock Orin emulator (fake clock offset, drift and pipeline delay) came out KEPT with the mapping evidence in its attributes. Shared-truth timeline tests read saved timestamp artifacts for both bases, with drop and clock-jump cases.
pre-commit hooks (with SKIP=check-copyright-year) passed on the touched files.
Not run: nothing ran on an Orin, the Manus/controller paths were not exercised, and the page was not verified in a real browser by the author's tooling.

Walkthrough
This change adds LiveKit camera support to the egocap stack. CaptureServer can now advertise LiveKit camera streams in SessionInit from YAML configuration. The backend can issue viewer tokens, receive LiveKit video, map publisher timestamps to local time, and feed decoded frames into recording with timing evidence. The frontend can parse LiveKit stream descriptors, connect to a LiveKit room, render LiveKit tiles, and show FPS and latency data. The change also adds a LiveKit Orin emulator, documentation, optional dependencies, and broad test coverage.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 53ba8
The LiveKit preview can, in an edge case during reconnection, tear down the clock sync of a working connection and leave a stray viewer connection open. For long takes, the saved timing evidence can under-report how many older clock mappings it dropped. Both are bounded problems and can be fixed in follow-ups, so the change is mergeable with these known gaps.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 53ba8
Preview now grants direct access to a video room, including data-message permissions, rather than only serving session-bound images. This expands the importance of trusted network access and room isolation. Recording has substantial identity and fail-closed timing controls, but deployed access restrictions and room contents remain unverified.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: The new anonymous token route delegates room-wide subscription and data-message authority beyond the previous session-bound image response. Membership is checked when issuing the credential, while its grants contain no CaptureServer session restriction. A holder able to reach LiveKit can use that authority independently of the page; ongoing connections are documented to survive token expiry. The scope is limited to offered rooms and excludes media publishing, but isolation of room contents and enforcement of the documented trusted-network assumption are not established.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — A caller needs backend reachability and an offered room name, but no application identity, to obtain room authority. Exercising it also requires LiveKit reachability. The maximum grant covers subscription within each offered room and room data messages, not arbitrary rooms, media publication, or signing-key possession. Actual additional tracks and downstream data consumers are unverified.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The supported new path is backend caller to offered-room token to direct LiveKit membership and data publishing. Room and network isolation determine whether that intended capability reaches unintended viewers or content. Anonymous image viewing already existed; the concern is expanded delegated authority and lifecycle, not newly introduced anonymous viewing alone.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The recorder restricts media to the configured publisher identity and offered track names. Clock replies must come from that publisher and match an outstanding request and timestamp. These controls prevent an ordinary viewer identity from directly supplying accepted camera media or clock replies.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The recording feed fails on track loss, publication replacement, overflow, missing timestamps, unusable clock mappings, excessive uncertainty, and implausible frame age. Feed failures use the recording failure-settlement path rather than silently substituting arrival time.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Before permitting untrusted network access, enforce viewer admission at ingress or token issuance and define room isolation and participant retirement explicitly. Consider session-specific rooms and publisher-side request quotas; shorter token lifetimes alone do not terminate established connections.

🤖 Automated first-pass review (Claude, for Dejun) — I'll follow up personally where needed.
Summary — For LiveKit video, this replaces the Unix-time capture path with a four-timestamp clock exchange against the publisher, on both the backend and the browser. It records frame-ready or sensor-capture monotonic stamps under an uncertainty budget, stores the mapping evidence in the take's attributes, and adds fps and latency to each tile. The estimator and the synthetic-timeline tests are careful. Two problems need fixing first: timing evidence can leak from one take into a later one, and the docs no longer describe the token's exposure correctly. Public-repo check: the internal-name scan found nothing, and reading the added docs, fixtures and commit text turned up nothing internal either.
Must fix
backend/egocap_web/recording_session.py:649 — _timing_evidence is set when a LiveKit take's ingress is retired, but it is cleared only on the kept-stop path (:599). It survives a discard (:623) and an interrupt (:596, :543). timing_evidence() returns None when there is no LiveKit receiver, so the next kept take without LiveKit video inherits the old take's streams and mappings as its timing attribute. A likely path: the Orin drops mid-take, CaptureServer is restarted without the streams file, and the next tracking-only take is kept with false provenance. Reset the evidence when a take starts, or key it by episode_id. Then add a test for a discard or interrupt followed by a take without LiveKit.
backend/egocap_web/livekit_preview.py:72 — tokens now carry canPublishData: True, and the recorder uses the same subscriber_token. The text around them still says they can't publish:
this unauthenticated route still justifies its exposure with "the token cannot publish";
Anyone who can reach the backend can now send data messages into the camera room. Say so in those places. Also confirm that the Orin sender ignores everything except well-formed isaaccapture.clock-sync requests, and that it rate-limits those.
Suggestions
Several texts still say "capture", but the default basis is now frame-ready:
The tooltip's "±" also leaves out the age-based drift allowance.
The emulator now defaults to capture_monotonic_us (tools/livekit_orin_emulator.py:91). The streams-file default and the guide's example are monotonic_us (LIVEKIT_PREVIEW.md:29), and the guide's emulator command sets no basis. Following the guide as written saves capture stamps as time_meaning: frame_ready. Default the emulator to monotonic_us, as the native sender does. Separately, the --clock-drift-ppm help says "Unix bases only" (:107), but ClockModel applies drift to every basis and to the clock-sync replies.
livekit_recording.py:415 — _wait_for_mapping accepts any mapping. If the link is already over budget or discontinuous, the take starts and then ends on its first frame. Refuse the start here instead, with the reason. Also validate EGOCAP_CLOCK_UNCERTAINTY_BUDGET_MS in prepare(). A bad value currently raises in start() (recording_session.py:476), when storage and the ingress are already live.
livekit_recording.py:451 — the evidence keeps only the newest 64 exchanges, and about one is adopted per second. Takes longer than about a minute therefore lose their earlier mappings silently, while the docstring still calls this list the mappings the video was placed with. Add a truncation count or a per-epoch summary. Also save the budget the feed actually used, instead of re-reading the environment (:475).
LiveKitCameraTile.tsx:75 — the raw list of frame-callback fields in the tooltip reads like a debugging aid. Drop it, or put it behind a dev flag. Lines 71 and 72 are two versions of the same comment.
The description says the suites were not re-run after the split. Please run them and vitest on this head. Also check preview and latency once in a real browser: the SDK jump from 2.9.7 to 2.19.2 and the packet-trailer-worker URL are only exercised through mocks.
Conflicts
With gmorgan/FastLiveKit: 0 commits behind, no conflicts, no rebase needed. Land #1426 first, then retarget this PR to main.
With open PRs:
#1426 (gareth-morgan-nv, stack parent): 29 shared files, no textual conflicts. This PR builds on its LiveKitRecordingFeed and LiveKitFrameReceiver signatures, its token helper and its timestamp bases. Carry any further review change to those over to this PR.
#1457 (gareth-morgan-nv, stack child): 10 shared files, including recording_session.py and livekit_recording.py, with no textual conflicts. Rebase it after must-fix 1. It probably reads the timing attribute, so keep its schema in step.
#1460 (yuhsiangh-nv, base main): shares CameraGrid.tsx; that PR touches the SPDX header, this one adds two props. Conflicts were not computed, but a textual one is unlikely. Whichever PR lands second rebases.
Sender dependency: at this head the tree (which includes #1426) has no clock-sync responder except the emulator, and the "sensing app" flags in the guide aren't in this repo. Unix capture stamps are no longer recordable, and prepare() now requires a mapping. Until the sender ships, recording from a real Orin will be refused. Link the sender change and hold this merge until it lands.

Addressed in 42e2498. Backend, tools and capture_server suites, recording and recording_service suites, vitest and tsc all pass here (the PR description's gap). The SDK 2.19.2 and packet-trailer-worker behaviour in a real browser is still unchecked.
Must fix
Timing evidence now resets when a take starts (after the unsettled-ingress refusal), so a discarded or interrupted take cannot leak into the next one. Operations run one at a time, so no pending stop can still need it. Tests: discard then a take without LiveKit, and interrupt then a take without LiveKit.
The token comments, backend README and LIVEKIT_PREVIEW.md now say tokens can subscribe and send data messages but not publish media, and that the unauthenticated route lets anyone who reaches the backend send data messages into the room. The guide states that the publisher must act only on well-formed isaaccapture.clock-sync requests and should rate-limit replies. I could not confirm the sender does either: no clock-sync responder exists in the sensing branch, so that remains for the sender PR.
Suggestions (all)
"Capture" wording: tooltip, basis prop doc, displayLatency.ts, recordable_livekit_streams docstring and the missing-timestamp failure message now say frame-ready or sensor capture. The tooltip's ± now includes the age-based drift allowance.
Emulator now defaults to monotonic_us (guide updated); the --clock-drift-ppm help says it applies to every basis and to clock-sync replies.
_wait_for_mapping refuses the start, with the reason, when the mapping is over budget or already jumped. The budget is read and validated in prepare() before the room is joined, passed to the feed, and saved in the evidence.
Evidence records mappings_omitted_oldest for takes longer than the 64-mapping window.
Dropped the raw frame-callback field list from the tooltip and the duplicated comment.
Tests: the wrong-t1 case now asserts the genuine reply lands, the unreachable or ordering is gone, the stale busy-wait comment is fixed, and new tests cover over-budget, jumped and bad-budget starts.
Not changed: the Conflicts notes (landing order, retargeting after #1426, holding the merge for the sender).

When history trimming removes a distinct mapping, mappings_omitted_oldest does not count it. With regular replies, this can occur after roughly 256 exchanges. The saved evidence can then omit mappings used for early frames and under-report the omissions.
Track removed mappings using the same (epoch, accepted_at_ns) key as the evidence deduplication. A raw trimmed-entry count can overcount repeated reports.

…mp and a four-timestamp clock mapping
The preview now asks livekit-client for the per-frame packet-trailer metadata
(worker option), runs a four-timestamp exchange with the publisher over the
room's data channel (viewer tokens may publish data, never media), and each
tile matches the displayed frame's RTP timestamp to the publisher's capture
stamp, maps the frame's expected display time onto the publisher's clock, and
shows the window's median, 95th percentile and the mapping's uncertainty. A
frame with no stamp, a stream whose basis is not a capture event on the
publisher's monotonic clock, a stale mapping, or a window spanning a mapping
discontinuity has no figure. Tests follow.

…e recording tests to the four-timestamp path
A mapping is stale when no exchange has arrived within the limit, not when the
best exchange in the window is old, which made a healthy jittery link go
stale (Python and browser estimators). The recording, source, app, receiver,
loader and emulator tests move to the monotonic capture basis and the clock
mapping, UnixClockMap's tests are removed, and the synthetic timeline is one
shared event timeline for a camera and a glove-like source, each with its own
clock and delays, mapped by the real estimator.

The displayed rate now divides the change in presented frames by the

reset becomes the new baseline. The browser clock sync assumes a conservative
1 ms timer resolution instead of spinning the UI thread to measure it. Both
estimators pick the exchange with the smallest uncertainty now, half its
round trip plus the drift its age allows, and report that uncertainty, so a
low-round-trip exchange stops being preferred once it is old. Tests follow.

newer exchange arrives; the take's evidence now keeps the first report of each
exchange. Adds tests for set_episode_timing, timing_evidence(), the coordinator
wiring and the bounded estimator history.

EGOCAP_CLOCK_UNCERTAINTY_BUDGET_MS (default 5 ms, a policy choice) bounds the
mapping uncertainty a take may be recorded with; the budget is saved in the
take's timing evidence. Docs describe the native capture-time option and the
remaining open items.

…racking times mean
ClockEstimator.mapping(now) grows the uncertainty with the age of the exchange,
so the recording budget cannot pass on a figure from before a reply gap. The
take's timing evidence names what each tracking source's time is (host poll;
controller pose-evaluation time; Manus host time at push) and that physical
alignment is unavailable. The native capture_monotonic_us option is described as
unverified.

…and aging tests
The browser estimator recomputes the mapping's uncertainty from the exchange's
age, as the PC estimator does. New tests: a camera, glove-like and
controller-like source with independent clocks and delays through real video
and numeric ingestion into a saved take, with drop and clock-jump cases; a feed
that fails once aging pushes the mapping over budget. Existing estimator tests
now expect the aged figure.

… default
The native sender publishes its monotonic frame-ready time (monotonic_us) by
default; recording accepts that basis alongside the sensor-capture basis, the
take's timing evidence names which, and the page computes latency from either.
The agent-only plan notes move to the git-ignored agentPlans/ folder. Tests
extend the saved-artifact timeline fixture over both bases.

… one docstring line
The ingress and readiness tests built streams on a basis that is no longer
recordable, so no frame counted toward the budget. Use the sensor-capture
monotonic basis, which is.

The effect runs once per track but the clock arrives after it, so it closed over
a null clock and never showed latency. It now reads both through refs.

- Reset the saved timing evidence when a take starts, so a discarded or
interrupted take's clock mappings cannot be attached to the next take.
- Say in the code, backend README and LiveKit guide that viewer and
recorder tokens can send data messages, which the clock-sync exchange
needs, and that the publisher must act only on well-formed clock-sync
requests.
- Refuse a recording start when the clock mapping is over the uncertainty
budget or has already jumped, with the reason. Read and validate the
budget in prepare(), and save the budget the feed actually used.
- Record how many older clock mappings a long take's evidence omits.
- Use frame-ready or sensor-capture wording for the stamp in the tile
tooltip, latency docs and failure messages; mention the age-based drift
allowance in the tooltip; drop the frame-callback field list.
- Default the emulator to monotonic_us like the native sender, and correct
its drift help text.
- Fix three tests (wrong-t1 reply, unreachable ordering, stale comment)
and add tests for the new behaviour.

The native sender and the emulator both answer only an exact clock-sync request
on the clock-sync topic. Say so, and say what is not bounded, because any
holder of a viewer token can send data messages into the room.

Summary
Puts camera video, glove and controller data on one PC timeline for recording, and shows end-to-end latency and fps on the page. This is the egocap half of the timing work; the camera-side clock code is in the PR it builds on.
EGOCAP_CLOCK_UNCERTAINTY_BUDGET_MS, default 5 ms, a policy choice).monotonic_us(the publisher's frame-ready time, the native sender's default) orcapture_monotonic_us(sensor capture event). Tracking keeps the existing host poll timestamp. The take'stimingattributes save the mapping evidence, the budget, what each camera time means (frame_ready/sensor_capture) and what each tracking time means.agentPlans/is git-ignored).Limits

Run before the timing PR was split into a Sensing part and this egocap part (this branch's tree is identical to the unsplit one; the suites were not re-run after the split):
pytestovertests/backend,tests/capture_server,tests/tools,tests/recording_service: 1181 passed, 100 skipped, 1 failed (tests/capture_server/test_gmsl_ipc.py::test_pipeline_serves_each_announced_frame_once_downscaled_as_jpeg, in code this PR does not touch; not checked against a clean checkout).vitest386 passed,tsc --noEmitclean.pre-commithooks (withSKIP=check-copyright-year) passed on the touched files.Not run: nothing ran on an Orin, the Manus/controller paths were not exercised, and the page was not verified in a real browser by the author's tooling.
Stacked on the PC-side LiveKit PR (#1426).
