- Audio tickets join the process backend: render_audio_batch wire
message, workers mix straight into shm slots (SLOT_FORMAT_AUDIO_F32),
ShmAudio payload with release semantics, crash isolation covers audio
renders; playback audio uses an async 4-chunk prefetch drained on the
UI tick (also fixes the sub-60fps chunk truncation bug); oversized
ranges and dispatcher outages fall back to in-process inline.
- Per-ticket slot formats: force_format is honored (exports request
F32 slots, dropping the BGRA8 round-trip and its 8-bit quantization);
segments grow on demand via worker-idle rebuild with generation
handoff; the scheduler filters over-capacity tickets.
- Adaptive defaults: 128-256MB/worker segment budgets drive slots per
worker, batch size follows workers/slots; bench_process example
measures throughput and adjacent-frame completion deltas
(e.g. 4 workers: 841 fps, 4.6ms mean delta).
- WorkerPool thread pool deleted; RenderManager defaults to the
Processes backend (oak-worker children), Threads kept as a test-only
inline dispatcher; audio tickets stay in-process until S3.
- Onscreen path reads worker shm slots directly: BGRA8 slot format,
RenderedFrame::Shm wrapped into the display buffer (single disclosed
GPU-staging memcpy), scopes analyze BGRA8; the long-lived full-res /
thumbnail paths take the counted slot_to_vec copy and release.
- Playback pre-render window: forward 120 frames (configurable) fed to
the PreviewScheduler at Playback priority, interleaved across
workers, cached in shm slots until the playhead consumes them;
generation-based invalidation cancels and releases on edits.
- oaktask export and oak-cli run on private ProcessDispatchers (fixed
a pump-while-locked self-deadlock in the export loop); facade
get_frame handles ShmFrame payloads.
- Acceptance: preview path main_heap_frame_copies == 0 with spawned
workers, CLI transcode/render verified end to end.
- oak-cli: new engine.rs assembly layer maps every facade call to
module Rust APIs (oaknode graph/serializer, oaktimeline commands,
oakrender ticket arena, oaktask ExportTask, oakcommon config); the
ffi/optional/host layers and build.rs link config are gone
- oak-worker: the worker session + POSIX shm transport moved into the
crate (oakrender backend + serde_json control plane); no dylib
- both binaries carry zero liboakengine references (otool verified);
tests green (30 cli / 41 worker)
