Updated: 2026-06-27 (T-BUGHUNT-GO-RUST-BUILD-2026-06-27 closed — go-rust-build bug-hunt sweep re-derived cleanly onto current master. (1) pkg/gpu/detect.go::runProbe set cmd.WaitDelay but never gave the command a context — WaitDelay alone cannot cap a child that emits no output, so a hung GPU probe (wedged nvidia-smi, driver-blocked rocm-smi) could stall gpu.Detect()/node startup forever; switched to exec.CommandContext + context.WithTimeout(probeTimeout) plus a 1 s grace WaitDelay. (2) pkg/ai/infer.go::Registry.Infer ran vmafx-ort-runner via exec.Command (no context); added a ctx context.Context first parameter + exec.CommandContext with an inferTimeout fallback so the inference subprocess is cancellable (3 test call-sites updated). (3) Rust vmafx-sys/src/safe.rs::read_pictures borrowed &mut VmafPicture while keeping unref_picture public — a post-transfer double-free footgun; now consumes the pictures by value (use-after-move = compile error). The error path does NOT manually unref, matching the libvmaf ownership contract and the vmafx crate's Context::read_pictures (PR #1056 round-3 R3-2). NOTE: the vmafx crate's separate read_pictures double-free was ALREADY fixed by PR #1056 (manual unref dropped) — not re-touched here. (4) core/src/meson.build comment claimed enable_rust_features defaults true; core/meson_options.txt is value: false — comment corrected. No golden assertions touched. ALSO: restored docs/state.md content accidentally truncated to 0 bytes by PR #1055 (pelorus ABI re-vendor) and docs/rebase-notes.md likewise wiped by PR #1060 (FMA-ADM fix) — both restored in this change. Row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-06-27 (T-BUGHUNT-FEATURE-CPU-2026-06-27 closed — feature-cpu bug-hunt sweep: (1) CIEDE2000 4:2:2 chroma-upsample flag swap in core/src/feature/ciede.c (scale_chroma_planes + _hbd) — horizontal index used ss_ver and vertical advance used ss_hor (transposed; upstream Netflix carries the identical bug), causing heap OOB read + wrong ciede2000 scores on YUV422P. Fixed to horizontal→ss_hor / vertical→ss_ver; regression tests test_ciede_scale_chroma_422_8b/_16b added. (2) cambi init() partial-failure leak — error returns left picture pool + contrast/tvi/c-values/histogram/mask buffers + feature-name dict allocated; routed all error paths through a fail: label calling the null-tolerant close_cambi(). SKIPPED: ssimulacra2 init OOM leak (already fixed in tree — goto fail frees all 12 buffers). Golden-safe: only CIEDE golden test runs 420P where the fix is a proven no-op (CIEDE2000 score 33.10755745833333 unchanged). Row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-06-27 (T-BUGHUNT-DNN-2026-06-27 closed — three DNN (tiny-AI / ONNX Runtime) correctness bugs from the 2026-06-27 bug-hunt sweep fixed in fix/bughunt-dnn. (1) f32_to_f16_one (core/src/dnn/tensor_io.c) turned any large finite float that overflows the f16 range (e.g. 70000.0f, 1e30f) into a NaN instead of ±inf: the exp >= 31 branch propagated the input mantissa unconditionally, so every overflowing finite value got a non-zero half-mantissa = NaN. Fix: only set the NaN mantissa when the f32 input is actually inf/NaN (input biased exponent == 0xff); overflowing finite values now map to clean ±inf, mirroring ort_backend.c:fp32_to_fp16. Regression test test_f16_finite_overflow_to_inf in core/test/dnn/test_tensor_io.c. (2) copy_output_tensor (core/src/dnn/ort_backend.c) memcpy'd a non-float ORT output tensor as float, yielding garbage scores when a model declares a DOUBLE/INT64/INT32 output. Fix: branch per element type — FLOAT (memcpy), FLOAT16 (existing cast), DOUBLE/INT64/INT32 (per-element convert), -ENOTSUP for anything else. (3) vmaf_ort_infer skipped the positive-dimension and overflow checks that vmaf_ort_run performs; the shared build_input_tensor now rejects empty rank, non-positive dims, and an element-count product that overflows size_t (-EINVAL / -EOVERFLOW), guarding both callers. Regression test test_ort_infer_rejects_bad_shape in core/test/dnn/test_ort_internals.c. GOLDEN-SAFE: no Netflix golden assertion touched; the bugs are in the DNN tiny-AI path, not the VMAF metric engine. All 13 DNN meson tests pass (CPU + ORT 1.20.1). No ADR (bug fixes). Reproducer: vmaf_f32_to_f16 on 1e30f returned NaN; a model with a non-float output head scored garbage. (4) Round-2 finding R2-7 folded in: dnn_attach_nchw (core/src/libvmaf.c) + the luma fast-path in vmaf_dnn_session_open (core/src/dnn/dnn_api.c) narrowed ONNX spatial dims (int64_t) to int with only a positivity check; an untrusted export with H/W > INT_MAX would truncate into a wrong geometry. Both now reject dims > 32768 (mirrors VMAF_PIC_DIM_MAX) before the narrowing (CERT INT31-C; -ENOTSUP / fast-path fall-through). Compile-verified; CI + DNN build covers the gated path. Row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-06-14 (T-PELORUS-SIDEDATA-READER-WEIGHTING-2026-06-14 closed — vmafx now reads the Pelorus per-frame side-data (vendored interop ABI, ADR-1113) and perceptually re-weights VMAF's spatial pooling: regions at high banding risk count more. New opt-in C-API (vmaf_set_perceptual_weight_enabled / _strength / vmaf_set_perceptual_sidedata, libvmaf/perceptual_weight.h); weight module core/src/feature/perceptual_weight.c; weighting hook in vmaf_feature_score_pooled; vf_libvmaf reader + perceptual_weight AVOption (ffmpeg-patch 0017). GOLDEN-GATE ISOLATION (#1 requirement): inert unless the opt-in is set AND a valid blob is present for the frame — the no-side-data path runs the literal upstream pooling expression and is byte-identical, so the Netflix golden pairs (no side-data) score bit-exact, proven by test_perceptual_weight.c. R1–R6 graceful degrade (grid==0 → frame-level scalar; bad ABI → unweighted + log). CPU-only, no GPU. ADR-1118. Row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-06-14 (T-PU21-HDR-METRIC-MISSING-2026-06-14 closed — the fork had no perceptually-uniform HDR adapter: every FR metric (PSNR/SSIM/MS-SSIM/CIEDE2000/SSIMULACRA2/CAMBI/PSNR-HVS) is invalid on absolute-luminance HDR. Added a CPU pu21 extractor (pu21_psnr + pu21_ssim) that PU21-encodes the luma plane (PQ ST.2084 EOTF × 10000 → cd/m² → 7-coefficient transfer, default banding_glare) then scores PSNR (peak=256, no SDR cap) + a self-contained L=256 Gaussian SSIM. PU-SSIM uses its OWN SSIM (pu21_ssim.c), NOT the golden iqa_ssim (L=255). PQ input only for RC. Verified at places=4 vs the fp64 dossier oracle. ADR-1111. Row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-06-13 (T-JSON-MODEL-FEATURE-NAME-DUP-KEY-LEAK-2026-06-13 closed — the JSON model parser's append_feature_name (core/src/read_json_model.c + C++23 twin read_json_model.cpp) strdup'd a feature name over feature[index].name without freeing any prior value. A duplicate feature_names key re-runs parse_feature_names from index 0, orphaning the first name; vmaf_model_destroy walks only the current slot occupants, so the orphan leaked on both the validation-error path (*model nulled, caller must not destroy) and the success path. Found by the nightly fuzz_json_model LeakSanitizer lane. Fix: free the prior name before the overwrite in both variants; ASan regression test test_json_model_feature_names_duplicate_key_no_leak added to core/test/test_model.c. No ADR (bug fix). Row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-06-13 (T-FLOAT-VIF-AVX512-GOLDEN-REGRESSION-2026-06-13 closed — Netflix golden VMAFEXEC score regression (76.66729 vs assertion 76.66740433333332, Δ≈1.1e-4 > 5e-5 = places=4 threshold) caused by ADR-0504's AVX-512 float convolution dispatch. AVX-512 FMA uses a wider partial-sum tree (16 floats vs 8 in AVX2) producing different IEEE-754 rounding. Regression was latent because GitHub Actions runners lack AVX-512. Fix: remove HAVE_AVX512 dispatch blocks from vif_filter1d_s/sq_s/xy_s; float VIF now uses AVX2 path matching upstream Netflix/vmaf. Result: 271 passed / 12 skipped / 0 failed across all golden test files. ADR-1104. Row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-06-13 (T-DOC-LEGACY-RUNNER-MISSING-DEPRECATION-2026-05-29 moved to Recently closed — state.md stale-open drift corrected; deprecation entry was already in docs/development/deprecations.md since PR #852 (2026-06-08). Cambi docs Vulkan section removed per ADR-0726 (stale reference to dropped backend). docs/metrics/cambi.md cleanup — no user-visible feature change.) Updated: 2026-06-13 (T-HIP-VIF-PARITY-PLACES4-2026-06-13 closed — integer_vif_hip had a residual parity gap of places~2.75 (max |HIP−CPU| ≈ 0.0018 per VIF scale) after ADR-0563 fixed the carry-bit catastrophe. Root cause: filter-loop boundary reads used clamp_i (replicate-edge) instead of the CPU's PADDING_SQ_DATA symmetric reflect. The CUDA twin uses a two-bounce mirror in its shared-memory load stage; HIP used clamp. Fix: add mirror2_i device helper (two-bounce mirror matching CPU + CUDA) and replace all 6 filter-loop clamp_i calls. Measured on gfx1030 wave32, 48 Netflix src01 frames: max |HIP−CPU| = 1e-6 (places~6), all frames ≤ 1e-4 (places=4). Pooled VMAF delta 0.000017. Parity test tolerance tightened 1e-3→1e-4. ADR-1103.

Updated: 2026-06-08 (T-LOCAL-EXPLAINER-BOOTSTRAP-NEON-RECAL-2026-06-08 closed + T-DOCKERFILE-LDCONFIG-MISSING-2026-06-08 closed — two CI failures from PR #855 tip (765af26c8) fixed in fix/master-855-tip-3-reds: (1) test_run_vmaf_runner_local_explainer_with_bootstrap_model asserted VMAF_LE_score at places=4 (tolerance 5e-5) against a Linux-calibrated value. After the NEON uint64-truncation fix in PR #834 / commit 43cf4c9aa, macOS arm64 Apple libm produces a slightly different SVM-prediction result (~6e-5 delta). All other bootstrap-score assertions in the same file already use places=3 + # ADR-0418 macOS-libm Δ relax; this assertion was added without the relaxation. Fix: recalibrate expected value to the post-NEON-fix value and relax to places=3 per ADR-0418 pattern. (2) Dockerfile was missing RUN ldconfig after make install. The NVIDIA CUDA Ubuntu 24.04 base image's /etc/ld.so.conf does not include /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu; meson strips RPATH on install; without ldconfig the installed /usr/local/bin/vmaf binary could not find libvmaf.so.3 at runtime and exited silently, producing zero smoke-test stdout.)

(2) test_vmaf_cuda_gpumask.sh only checked ldconfig for libcuda.so — the CUDA 13.2 toolkit stub passes even without GPU hardware; added nvidia-smi -L guard (exit 77 = meson SKIP) plus meson timeout: 10 to prevent 30 s hangs. (3) ADR-0922 ratcheted ort_backend.c per-file floor from 78 to 83 but measured coverage is structurally capped at ~79% (ORT error-path lines unreachable without error injection); floor reset to 79 pending dedicated ORT error-injection test. (4) vifks360o97 uses a 65-tap Gaussian taking ~138 s in debug+gcov builds; pytest-timeout was 60 s, killing the suite before DNN/ORT tests contributed coverage; raised to 180 s.) Updated: 2026-06-07 (T-CUDA-DONE-PATH-DOUBLE-UNREF-2026-06-07 closed + T-COVERAGE-ORT-DEAD-ELSE-2026-06-07 closed — two regressions fixed in fix/cuda-done-path-double-unref-ort-coverage: (1) PR #838 added read_pictures_cuda_cleanup() in the done=true early-return branch of vmaf_read_pictures. When threaded mode is active, threaded_read_pictures_batch already calls vmaf_picture_unref on ref_host/dist_host at line 1858; the new call in the done=true branch then released the same pictures a second time, corrupting the pool free-list and deadlocking subsequent vmaf_picture_pool_fetch calls. Fixed by splitting read_pictures_cuda_cleanup into a full variant (host+device) and a _device_only variant used only in the done=true path. (2) ort_log_and_release_status had a dead else branch — ORT always produces a non-empty message when st != NULL — causing coverage to sit below the 83% security floor (ADR-0922). Fixed by collapsing to a single vmaf_log call with an inline ternary. Rows added to Recently closed.)

(2) VmafxNode controller test sets Healthy = false when LastHeartbeat is stale failed with timestamp precision mismatch — metav1.NewTime captures nanoseconds but the Kubernetes API server truncates to second precision on read-back; fixed by .Truncate(time.Second). (3) TestResolveModelArgToPath_AllowlistEnforced failed because PR #791 inadvertently removed the libvmaf.ValidatePath calls added by PR #813, allowing MCP clients with VMAFX_MCP_DIRECT=1 to read arbitrary files; restored ValidatePath enforcement on all resolved path candidates. (4) cargo test -p vmafx-sys --all-features failed with doc-test compilation errors in bindgen-generated bindings.rs (C header comments contain "On x86 / x86_64:" and backticks that are not valid Rust doc-test code); fixed by adding [lib] doctest = false to vmafx-sys/Cargo.toml.

(2) test_log SIGABRT under UBSan — prior cast-to-int fix in vmaf_log (log.cpp) did not prevent the UBSan enum-invalid-value violation because UBSan fires on the function parameter LOAD before any code runs; fixed by annotating vmaf_log with __attribute__((no_sanitize("enum"))) guarded by clang/gcc version check (ADR-1080). (3) test_gpu_picture_pool_uaf SIGABRT under TSan — TSan's allocator aborts the process on huge allocations instead of returning NULL; fixed by adding TSAN_OPTIONS: allocator_may_return_null=1 to the sanitizer step env (same pattern as ASAN_OPTIONS already present). (4) ort_backend.c coverage dropped to 79% after ADR-0922 ratcheted the per-file floor from 78% to 83% — fixed by adding 12 EP-device fallback tests to test_ort_internals.c covering try_append_cuda/openvino/rocm/coreml and the ADR-0113 two-stage CreateSession fallback path.)

(1) neon_any_nonzero_s32 in motion_v2_neon.c reinterpreted int32x4_t as uint64x2_t, then OR'd the two uint64 lanes and cast to uint32. Lanes with non-zero values only in the upper 32 bits (e.g. when int32[0]==0, int32[1]!=0) produced a uint64 that is non-zero but whose uint32 truncation is 0, falsely reporting the row as all-zero. On checkerboard input, this skipped nearly all rows of the x-phase convolution, producing motion=0.0 on macOS arm64. Fix: replace uint64 reinterpret with a direct uint32-level OR of the four lanes via vget_low/high_u32 + vorr_u32. (2) Python harness disable_avx option emitted --cpumask -1; parse_unsigned (ADR-1088) now rejects negative strings; updated to 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF). (3) picture_pool_cpp23_lib and gpu_picture_pool_cpp23_lib in core/src/meson.build lacked dependencies: [pthread_dependency]; on Windows MSVC the win32 pthreads shim include path was not added, causing fatal error: 'pthread.h' file not found in both Windows GPU legs. Fix: add pthread_dependency to both static_library() calls.

(2) test_gpu_picture_pool_uaf SIGABRTed under ASan because the allocator interceptor aborted on the intentionally-oversized alloc that exercises the NULL-return path; fixed by adding ASAN_OPTIONS: allocator_may_return_null=1 to the sanitizer step in tests-and-quality-gates.yml. (3) test_integer_motion_v2_coverage multi-frame tests (test_motion_v2_three_frame_flow, ..._moving_average_branch, ..._10bit_extract) manually set ctx->fex->prev_ref as a raw struct copy, bypassing vmaf_picture_ref; the PREV_REF wrapper in feature_extractor.cpp unreffed the raw copy and took a counted ref on each frame, leaving the last frame's ref count at 2; context_destroy + test loop only decremented once each — leak.

Root cause: framesync.h included <stdatomic.h> unconditionally; on Ubuntu 24.04 ARM (aarch64, clang-18 + GCC-14 headers), GCC-14's <atomic> transitively includes GCC's <stdatomic.h> which defines atomic_int = atomic<int>, then clang-18's <stdatomic.h> (pulled in by framesync.h) tries to redefine atomic_int as _Atomic(int) — conflict. feature_extractor.h already had the correct #if defined(__cplusplus) guard for its own <stdatomic.h>, but framesync.h (included after) circumvented it. Fix: add the matching #if !defined(__cplusplus) guard to framesync.h's <stdatomic.h> include.

Admission webhooks added for VmafxJob and VmafxNode (URI validation, GPU-vendor enum enforcement). Per-controller RBAC split into three minimal ClusterRole files. gen/go/controller/controller.pb.go extended with FinalScore field. 7-spec envtest suite extended.

Five production call sites updated: cmd/vmafx-server/{http,grpc}_server.go, cmd/vmafx-controller/{http,grpc}_server.go, cmd/vmafx-node/executor.go.

Updated: 2026-05-31 (T-VMAFX-TUNE-GO-DEEP-BUG-AUDIT-2026-05-31 closed — deep-dive audit of cmd/vmafx-tune/ (Stage-1 Go CLI per ADR-0705 / ADR-0713) and its pkg/{report,bisect,encoder,ladder} dependencies, closing five distinct bugs in one PR. (1) JSON NaN propagation in bisect_samples — report.EmitJSON and cmd/vmafx-tune/cmd.emitSweepJSON previously sanitised only top-level row floats, leaving []bisect.Sample as raw float64 in the wire shape; one non-finite sample crashed json.MarshalIndent and broke AGENTS.md rebase-sensitive invariant #2 (Python ↔ Go parser parity). New public report.SanitizeBisectSamples walks the nested floats; mirrored in emitLadderJSON for Cloud + Hull + Renditions across BitratekBps, VMAF, TargetVMAF. (2) parseVMAFXMLMean accepted "NaN" / "+Inf" / "-Inf" — Go strconv.ParseFloat accepts those tokens silently, so a corrupt vmaf XML mean fed non-finite scores into the pipeline. Parser now rejects non-finite means at the source. (3)–(4)–(5) Subprocess hang risk — every exec.Command in pkg/encoder (ffmpeg encode, ffprobe probe, codec discovery) and pkg/bisect (vmaf scoring) ran with no context and no timeout. Switched to exec.CommandContext with per-stage upper bounds overridable via VMAFX_TUNE_ENCODE_TIMEOUT / VMAFX_TUNE_SCORE_TIMEOUT / VMAFX_TUNE_PROBE_TIMEOUT. (6) Codec-discovery cache stale-key — the previous sync.Once gate locked in whichever ffmpeg binary path was probed first, with _ = ffmpegBin masquerading as cache invalidation. Cache key is now the binary path. 8 new Go regression tests plus 2 updated existing tests. Python compare-parser tests (88 tests across tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_{bisect,compare,compare_rate_quality_sweep,compare_no_bisect}.py) still pass. Bug fixes; no ADR per CLAUDE §12 r8.

Updated: 2026-05-31 (T-TEST-SVM-PARSER-LINK-PLUS-OPERATOR-AUDIT-2026-05-31 closed — bundled fix for the pre-existing test_svm_parser Meson link break (the executable's source list omitted ../src/thread_locale.c, so svm.cpp's references to vmaf_thread_locale_push_c / vmaf_thread_locale_pop were unresolved; the sibling test_svm_api target proves the precedent) and a deep audit of cmd/vmafx-operator/. Operator audit findings: (1) VmafxNode.probeHealthz deferred resp.Body.Close() without draining — every 30-second probe of N VmafxNodes leaked one TCP connection to the controller because Go's net/http only returns a connection to the keep-alive pool if the body is fully read; fixed by draining via io.Copy(io.Discard, resp.Body) before Close. (2) vmafx.dev/v1 integer fields (VmafxJob.spec.priority, VmafxNode.spec.capacity, VmafxNode.status.assignedJobs, VmafxModelTraining.status.currentSamples, VmafxModelTraining.spec.checkpoint.minSamples) declared as Go int — violates Kubernetes API conventions because OpenAPI v3 has no architecture-dependent integer type; widened to int32. (3) Documented defaults (Backend=cpu, Priority=0, Capacity=1, Checkpoint.Interval=10m, Checkpoint.MinSamples=1000) were prose-only — added +kubebuilder:default: markers and default: keys in the CRD schemas + Helm chart copies so the apiserver actually applies them on admission.

(1) pkg/observability.NewShutdownContext leaked one goroutine + one signal-handler subscription per stop()-before-signal cycle (early-exit paths in main() skipped defer stop() via os.Exit(1)) — fixed by delegating to stdlib signal.NotifyContext. (2) pkg/score.OpenScoreStream / PushFrame surfaced meaningless io.EOF instead of the server's real gRPC status when Send raced a server-side stream rejection — fixed via recvStatusOnEOF helper that drains Recv on Send-EOF. (3) cmd/vmafx-server POST /v1/score had no body size limit (multi-GB POST OOM vector) — added http.MaxBytesReader cap at 1 MiB + 413 mapping. (4) gRPC server had no panic-recovery interceptors — added unary + stream recover() wrappers that translate panic into codes.Internal and keep the server alive. (5) pkg/score.ScoreStream.Recv upgraded from err == io.EOF to errors.Is(err, io.EOF). Six new regression tests added across pkg/observability, pkg/score, cmd/vmafx-server.

(2) test_ssimulacra2_simd::test_xyb (Linux all-backends) failed because icx ignores -ffp-contract=off and -fp-model=precise for inline scalar code and emits vfmadd against the AVX2 SIMD's explicit non-FMA intrinsics; fix: add #pragma clang fp contract(off) to the test TU.

Fixed by changing the source to 320×240 @ 24 fps / 0.5 s. (V14-B) QSV encodes lacked the VA-API device-init chain required by FFmpeg's QSV bridge on Linux (-init_hw_device vaapi=va:… -init_hw_device qsv=qsv_dev@va -filter_hw_device va + -vf format=nv12,hwupload=extra_hw_frames=64); every QSV encode returned -22 Invalid argument.

(2) the guard was #ifdef _WIN32 which fires for MinGW64 too, but MinGW already provides POSIX stat/fstat/S_ISREG natively.

All 12 shots in the BBB v11 4K plan still showed bitrate_kbps: null. Fix (ADR-0538): _build_per_shot_bisect_predicate now returns (predicate, bitrate_sidecar) where the closure populates the sidecar dict keyed by (start_frame, end_frame) as each shot's bisect completes; _run_tune_per_shot unpacks the tuple and patches each ShotRecommendation via dataclasses.replace before serialising the plan JSON. PredicateFn type alias unchanged — no blast radius on --predicate-module callers. +1 regression test. ADR-0538; row added to Recently closed.)

Updated: 2026-05-18 (T-HIP-IMPORT-STATE-ENOSYS-2026-05-18 closed — vmaf_hip_import_state was returning -ENOSYS and breaking vmaf --backend hip on every AMD ROCm host. Moved the function from core/src/hip/common.c into core/src/libvmaf.c and implemented it as a SYCL / Vulkan / Metal-style "stash the borrowed state pointer on the VmafContext and return 0" wrapper. End-to-end verified on AMD gfx1036 inside vmaf-dev-mcp: VMAF = 76.66783, bit-exact match against CPU. The HIP-flagged extractors keep VMAF_FEATURE_EXTRACTOR_HIP cleared for now (dispatch routes through their CPU twins, which is why scores match CPU exactly); the flag-bit promotion + VMAF_PICTURE_BUFFER_TYPE_HIP_DEVICE plumbing is a separate follow-up.

Two portability gaps remained after PR #1274 (ADR-0515): (1) vif_avx512.c used __attribute__((noinline, noclone)) (GCC/Clang-only syntax) on the ADR-0503 noinline helpers, causing fatal C2143 on MSVC cl.exe — fixed by the VMAF_NOINLINE_NOCLONE portability macro; (2) yuv_input.c::yuv_check_file_size called fstat() + S_ISREG() (POSIX names absent from MSVC <sys/stat.h>) — fixed by _WIN32 shims mapping them to _fstat64/struct __stat64/_S_IFREG.

Row added to Recently closed per ADR-0165.) Updated: 2026-05-18 (T-TINY-MODEL-LOADER-FEATURE-RANK-2026-05-18 closed — vmaf --tiny-model now loads and runs the three shipped FR-regressor tiny models (fr_regressor_v1, fr_regressor_v2, vmaf_tiny_v4). Before the fix all three failed at attach time with errno -95 (ENOTSUP): the C-side vmaf_ctx_dnn_attach rejected any input rank other than 4 (NCHW image), but every shipped FR-regressor is rank-2 feature-vector. The loader now branches on rank, materialises the canonical-6 features from the live feature collector at inference time, applies the sidecar's optional StandardScaler, and pre-seeds the optional codec block (e.g. fr_regressor_v2's 14-D codec input) to the "unknown encoder" one-hot. External-data ONNX (sibling .onnx.data files) needs no extra wiring — ONNX Runtime auto-resolves siblings when handed the absolute model path. ADR-0518; row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-05-18 (T-VMAF-TUNE-COMPARE-RATE-QUALITY-SWEEP-2026-05-18 closed — vmaf-tune compare gains --target-vmafs 85,90,92,95 and a v2 JSON schema (schema_version: 2, rows keyed by (codec, target_vmaf)). vmaf-tune report detects the schema discriminator and renders a per-codec rate-quality line chart (log-bitrate / VMAF axes) with the pareto frontier highlighted as a heavier dashed overlay, plus a per-codec / per-target summary table. New compare_codecs_sweep() API flat-dispatches the (codec x target) cross-product to the thread pool. New probe_encoder_available() two-stage probe (ffmpeg -encoders listing grep + 1-frame lavfi dummy encode) flags hardware-encoder rows that the host can't run with a stable hardware encoder not available: … error string so the sweep does not abort. Default --encoders is now the CPU set libx264,libx265,libsvtav1,libvpx-vp9. v1 compare JSONs continue to render the legacy bar+dot chart. ADR-0516; row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-05-18 (T-BBB-E2E-V7-1-COMPARE-FRAMERATE-PROBE-2026-05-18 closed — vmaf-tune compare --src container.mp4 now auto-probes the source via vmaftune.report.probe_source and substitutes the probed framerate / duration when the user left those flags at their argparse defaults. Before the fix, the per-iteration frame_skip_ref / frame_cnt derived from the default --framerate=24.0 mis-indexed the reference YUV against any container whose native rate was not 24 fps (e.g. BBB 60 fps reported libx264 CRF=6 / VMAF=90.43, physically impossible). Sister fix to ADR-0505; the compare encode plumbing already passed source_is_container=True correctly. ADR-0509; row added to Recently closed.) Updated: 2026-05-18 (T-PER-SHOT-SCENE-THRESHOLD-2026-05-18 + T-PER-SHOT-REPORT-1-SHOT-CHART-2026-05-18 closed — vmaf-tune tune-per-shot on 5 s BBB 4K returned a single shot covering the whole clip because the vmaf-perShot luma-delta heuristic uses a compiled-in default cutoff of 12.0 (too conservative for short content) and the Python wrapper had no override + no fallback. The HTML report's per-shot timeline was also blank when the source resolved to 1 shot because ax.step on a single point emits a zero-length path the SVG backend drops. Bundled fix: --scene-threshold flag forwards to vmaf-perShot --diff-threshold; new --max-shot-duration flag (default 2.0 s) uniformly slices any shot longer than the window into equal-length sub-shots so 5 s clips always produce >= 2 shots; report's _shot_plot_fn renders ax.hlines bands over each shot's frame range with explicit axis bounds. +6 regression tests across test_per_shot.py + test_report.py. ADR-0513; rows added to Recently closed.) Previously: 2026-05-18 T-CHUG-EXTRACT-VMAF-ALIGNMENT-2026-05-18 closed — ai/scripts/extract_k150k_features.py was silently producing identity-pair feature dumps (VMAF~99 on every CHUG bitrate-ladder rung including 360p @ 0.2 Mbps) when pointed at a CHUG sidecar, because the K150K script is an FR-from-NR adapter (ref==distorted) intended for KoNViD-150k-A only. Root cause was operator-level (wrong script for the corpus), but the misuse was completely silent — no exit code, no warning, no per-row provenance flag. New detect_fr_corpus_misuse() helper inspects the --metadata-jsonl sidecar for the FR signature (any chug_content_name group with both chug_ref==1 and chug_ref==0 rows); main() exits 2 before spawning any worker and points the operator at ai/scripts/chug_extract_features.py. --allow-fr-from-nr opt-in preserves the identity-pair study workflow. +3 detector unit tests + 2 pairing regression tests on chug_extract_features.py (ref_path != dis_path invariant; orphan distorted rows are dropped) + a synthetic-YUV end-to-end smoke asserting adm2_mean < 0.95 on a deliberately destroyed distorted clip.

Fix: factor the temp-path setup into make_temp_output_path() — GetTempPathA() + <pid>-suffixed filename on #ifdef _WIN32, mkstemp on POSIX; unlink → remove for Win32 portability.

Before the fix, libx264 (and any codec adapter with supports_encoder_stats=True) routed through run_encode_with_stats whose pass-1 invocation still re-encoded the full source — so ladder --duration 5 against a 10-minute BBB source burned ~10 min wall time per cell on pass 1 before pass 2 ran on the requested 5-second window.

Bugs known to affect the fork or the user-visible surface, with no landed fix yet.

| T-NEON-FMA-FLOAT-ADM-DWT2-2026-06-06 | test_float_adm_dwt2_bitexact fails on ARM CI with a 1-ULP FMA gap after PR #685 wired the AdmSimdDispatch table so float-ADM NEON kernels were dispatched at runtime. The NEON DWT2 uses hardware FMA by default; the scalar reference does not. A follow-up #pragma clang fp contract(off) carve-out (PR #690) was insufficient across all ARM toolchain configs. PR #695 reverted PR #685 in full — the float-ADM SIMD kernels remain compiled but are no longer dispatched at runtime. Follow-up required: rewire dispatch with an FMA-safe NEON DWT2 path. | meson test -C build-arm64 --suite=fast test_float_adm_dwt2_bitexact on macOS arm64 or aarch64 Linux — fails on any toolchain that enables hardware FMA by default. | Owner-driven; see ADR-1057 for the FMA-contract semantics analysis. | Closes when a PR adds a #pragma clang fp contract(off) + GCC-equivalent carve-out to the NEON DWT2 kernel that passes test_float_adm_dwt2_bitexact on all ARM CI legs. |

| T-SYCL-ARC-SSIMULACRA2-PARITY-2026-06-03 | ssimulacra2 SYCL parity gate fails on Intel Arc A380 with max_abs_diff=8.72e-2 (~17× over the 5e-3 places=2 contract). Arc A380 lacks native fp64; the 3-pole IIR Charalampidis blur in ssimulacra2_sycl.cpp::launch_blur accumulates fp32 rounding over up to 329 rows of recurrence state per scale, and over 6 pyramid scales. The XYB and pooling stages already run on host (ADR-0201 precision fix). RTX 4090 passes places=2. The divergence cannot be validated or fixed without hardware access to Arc A380. A device-calibration entry at places=1 (5e-2) minimum is the correct short-term path; a longer-term fix would require Kahan-compensated IIR or integer-accumulator blur, which cannot be validated without the hardware. Same failure observed on Vulkan (max_abs_diff=5.48e-2). Partial fix (branch fix/sycl-arc-ssimulacra2-calibration-short-path): gpu_ulp_calibration.yaml gains a named DG2-G10 SYCL entry (sycl:0x8086:0x56a*) anchoring ssimulacra2 at the default places=2 (5e-3) so gate tooling matches Arc A380 explicitly rather than falling through to the generic Intel glob. The observed 8.72e-2 divergence still exceeds this threshold; a hardware-validated places=1 (5e-2) replacement and the Kahan-compensated IIR rewrite remain as follow-up. | Research-0985 §4 | Owner-driven: replace placeholder with hardware-measured value once Arc A380 calibration corpus is available; implement Kahan-compensated IIR in core/src/feature/sycl/ssimulacra2_sycl.cpp::launch_blur (CUDA twin: core/src/feature/cuda/ssimulacra2/). | Closes when either (a) gpu_ulp_calibration.yaml has a hardware-validated ssimulacra2 entry for dg2-g10 class at places=1 (5e-2) or better, OR (b) a Kahan-IIR kernel change brings the gate within places=2 on Arc A380. | | T-SVTAV1-HDR-ADAPTER-2026-05-20 | vmaf-tune has libsvtav1 and libaom-av1 adapters, but no independently selectable SVT-AV1-HDR runtime for juliobbv-p/svt-av1-hdr. The repo is a BSD-3-Clause-Clear fork of psy-ex/svt-av1-psy with HDR-focused SVT-AV1 changes and community FFmpeg builds; the adapter work must determine whether FFmpeg exposes it through the same libsvtav1 wrapper or a distinct encoder name. | python - <<'PY'\nfrom vmaftune.codec_adapters import known_codecs\nprint('svtav1-hdr' in known_codecs(), 'libsvtav1' in known_codecs())\nPY → False True; gh repo view juliobbv-p/svt-av1-hdr --json isFork,parent,licenseInfo,updatedAt identifies the fork/licence/source. | Owner-driven; likely needs per-codec ffmpeg_bin / runtime-variant support plus a pinned SVT-AV1-HDR build before a separate adapter token is honest. | Closes when vmaf-tune compare can select mainline SVT-AV1 and SVT-AV1-HDR independently in one sweep and documents the HDR fork's tune/CRF/preset/runtime knobs. | | T-VMAFTUNE-PROFILE-REPORT-AUDIT-2026-05-20 | Profile-card reports are now emitted directly by vmaf-tune compare --format html|both, making chart quality part of the compare workflow. The renderer needs a deep audit for graph density, axis scaling, labels, failed-row affordances, bitrate units, mobile layout, deterministic colors, Markdown/HTML parity, and artifact packaging. | Run a multi-codec sweep with vmaf-tune compare --format both --output report.html and inspect the rate-quality, ladder, and per-shot charts for readability on desktop and mobile. Current tests assert SVG presence and some samples, not report usability or graph semantics. | Next backlog branch; start in tools/vmaf-tune/src/vmaftune/report.py and tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_report.py. | Closes when the audit lands with concrete graph/layout improvements plus regression tests over representative compare v1/v2, ladder, and per-shot reports. |

| ~~T-SYCL-CLANG-TIDY-DISABLED~~ — clang-tidy-sycl CI job re-enabled 2026-06-08 via scripts/ci/gen-sycl-compile-commands.py (synthesises compile_commands.json entries for the meson CUSTOM_COMMAND SYCL TUs) + the existing scripts/ci/clang-tidy-sycl.sh wrapper (-D__SYCL_DEVICE_ONLY__=0 guards __spirv_ControlBarrier/__ocl_event_t). Job stays continue-on-error: true (advisory) until one green master run confirms the approach holds. (ADR-0623) | grep "clang-tidy-sycl:" .github/workflows/lint-and-format.yml — job present without if: false. | Advisory. | Closes (promoted to required gate) after one green master run and re-addition to the Required Checks list. |

| T-ENSEMBLE-V2-PROD-FLIP-DEFERRED-2026-06-13 | The five fr_regressor_v2_ensemble_v1_seed{0..4} rows ship at smoke quality for the RC. ADR-0321 promoted them to production with LOSO-validated weights trained at codec_vocab=14; the vocab was trimmed to 6, so PR #865 regenerated the ONNX in --smoke mode (1 epoch, synthetic) to keep the load path correct and set smoke: true. PR #865 also dropped license/license_url/sigstore_bundle from the five rows — restored here. The production flip is deferred to the locked one-shot post-RC retrain (ensemble is in scope), per ADR-1105. test_fr_regressor_v2_ensemble_seed_rows_are_production is xfail(strict=True) so it auto-fails the moment real weights land. | python3 -m pytest python/test/model_registry_schema_test.py -q → 10 passed, 1 xfailed (the deferred production assertion). | One-shot retrain (post-RC, locked plan). | Closes when the one-shot retrain re-runs export_ensemble_v2_seeds.py at codec_vocab=6, flips smoke: false, and removes the xfail marker (test xpasses → strict failure forces marker removal). |

| T-CI-DOCKER-SMOKE-NO-OUTPUT-2026-06-13 | The (non-required) Docker Image Build smoke test fails on every master tip with "vmaf produced no output", yet the built image scores the 576×324 fixture at pooled mean 94.3230 (exactly the expected 94.32) when reproduced locally — across fresh build, GPU-present and GPU-hidden (runc) runs, and the byte-identical command. The CI-only failure was opaque because the step piped through 2>/dev/null. Hardened: vmaf now writes JSON to a bind-mounted output file instead of /dev/stdout (removes a stdout-piping failure mode and is a candidate fix), and stderr is captured + printed on any non-zero exit so the next CI run surfaces the actual cause. | Local: image scores 94.3230 (PASS). CI: see the next master Docker Image Build run's captured vmaf stderr block. | CI infra (image is functionally correct). | Closes when the hardened smoke step passes on master, or when the captured stderr identifies and a follow-up fixes the CI-only cause. |

| T-SPEED-GPU-REGISTRY-ORPHAN-2026-06-19 | The SpEED GPU twins (speed_{chroma,temporal}_{cuda,sycl,hip}) were unreachable by name on the shipping build. PR #875 split feature_extractor.c → the compiled feature_extractor.cpp but left the six GPU SpEED externs + feature_extractor_list[] entries behind in the now-dead .c (meson compiles only the .cpp). The kernels compiled but vmaf_get_feature_extractor_by_name("speed_chroma_cuda") returned NULL, so SpEED silently fell back to the CPU path — regressing the ADR-0964/0965/0852 GPU SpEED wiring. Found by the RC independent registry audit (read-only worktree, master 97c147da0). CPU Netflix golden gate unaffected (CPU speed_chroma/speed_temporal were always registered). Fix ports the six externs + array entries into the .cpp #if HAVE_{CUDA,SYCL,HIP} blocks and deletes the dead .c twin. | meson test -C build test_feature_extractor (with any GPU backend enabled) → the new by-name resolution asserts pass; before the fix they fail (speed_chroma_cuda must resolve by name). CPU build + test green; feature_extractor.cpp compiles clean under -Denable_cuda=true. | Bug fix (no ADR; implements ADR-0545 dead-file policy, restores ADR-0964/0965/0852). PR #875 root cause. | Closed on merge; full device parity for GPU SpEED tracked under existing cross-backend gates (ADR-0214). | | T-HIP-MOTION-V2-MIRROR-OFF-BY-ONE-2026-06-13 | HIP integer_motion_v2 mv2_mirror used 2*sup-idx-1 at the high boundary while CPU (integer_motion_v2.c:157), CUDA (motion_v2_score.cu:51) and SYCL (integer_motion_v2_sycl.cpp:95) all use reflect-101 2*sup-idx-2. Identical call sites across backends → a genuine one-pixel divergence (same class as the HIP VIF fix, ADR-1103). ADR-0377 wrongly claimed the -1 matched CPU/CUDA. Surfaced by an adversarial fresh-eyes verification sweep. HIP-only; CPU Netflix golden gate unaffected. | Verified across all four backends + call sites; fix compiles under hipcc. Full device cross-backend-diff to run in the dev container (host gfx1036 HIP runtime errored, §15 host-debt). | ADR-1106 supersedes ADR-0377 claim. | Closes on merge; device places=4 parity confirmation tracked as a container follow-up. | | T-CUDA-INIT-SUBMIT-LEAKS-2026-06-19 | Four CUDA feature extractors leak already-acquired resources on init / submit error paths (found by the RC independent audit). integer_ms_ssim_cuda.c: close_fex_cuda never freed the pinned host buffers (h_ref/h_cmp + per-scale h_{l,c,s}_partials); the two init -ENOMEM returns leaked all device buffers + PTX module + lifecycle stream; and submit leaked the tmp_uint pinned staging buffer on its early CHECK_CUDA_RETURN exits. integer_psnr_hvs_cuda.c: the two init bulk-alloc -ENOMEM returns leaked partial device/host buffers + upload stream/event + PTX module. ssimulacra2_cuda.c: an ss2c_alloc_buffers failure returned without freeing the partial buffers + two PTX modules + stream. speed_chroma_cuda.c: the fail_pop label only popped the context, leaking the module + stream + completed buffers (its fail_after_pop sibling also leaked module + stream since free_cuda_buffers does not touch either). Fork-local CUDA error-path only; success path and CPU golden gate unaffected. | Object-compile-check the four edited .c files clean (ninja -C build-cuda src/liblibvmaf_feature.a.p/feature_cuda_{integer_ms_ssim,integer_psnr_hvs,ssimulacra2,speed_chroma}_cuda.c.o); full device leak confirmation via compute-sanitizer --leak-check full on an init/submit/close loop in the dev container (host CUDA fatbin toolchain broken, §15 host-debt). | fix/cuda-init-submit-leaks (bug fix, no ADR). | Closed on merge. |

| T-ROUND4-FFMPEG-PATCHES-2026-06-27 | Two verified defects in the libvmaf_sycl FFmpeg filter (ffmpeg-patches/0005) from the round-4 audit. (1) sycl_state leak (high): uninit_sycl called vmaf_close() but not vmaf_sycl_state_free() — vmaf_close() does not free the SYCL state (ownership not transferred), leaking the state + USM allocations on every filter close. Now freed explicitly + false comment removed. (2) QSV NULL deref (med): do_vmaf_sycl walked data[3]→mfxFrameSurface1→MemId→mfxHDLPair→first with no NULL guards; a software-fallback QSV surface (no VA backing) crashed it. All chain links now NULL-checked → AVERROR(EINVAL) + diagnostic. #21 (duplicate idempotent configure probe) intentionally left (removing the wrong one risks breaking SYCL detection). | no ADR (bug-fix bundle; audit-derived) | fix/round4-ffmpeg-patches | Regenerated 0005 surgically (only the two +blocks + hunk-count; configure hunk untouched).

| T-ROUND4-CLI-BUILD-GO-2026-06-27 | Five verified CLI/build/Go-MCP defects from the round-4 audit of the admin-merged #1043–1062 batch. (1) icx fp-model (golden-relevant, icx-only): x86_float_adm_avx2/avx512 meson carve-outs lacked _x86_simd_strict_fp_extra → float-ADM AVX2/512 could FMA-contract under Intel icx differently from scalar; added (no-op on gcc/clang, matches ssim/ssimulacra2 carve-outs). (2) vmaf.cpp wall_time_s read uninit timespec on clock_gettime failure (UB) → zero-init. (3) Windows wall_time_s/vmaf_bench.c now_ms re-queried QPF every call + could div-by-zero → cached static freq + zero guard + (void) the QueryPerformance returns. (4) stale libvmaf/tools/vmaf.c→core/tools/vmaf.cpp comment in core/tools/meson.build. (5) Go MCP allowlist hardened:* AllowedRoots() used RepoRoot's cwd fallback → allowlisted arbitrary cwd-relative trees when run outside the repo; now fails closed via discoverRepoRoot() (repo-relative roots only when CLAUDE.md marker found; container mount + VMAF_MCP_ALLOW unconditional), mirroring C discover_repo_root(). | no ADR (bug-fix bundle; audit-derived) | fix/round4-cli-build-go | CPU build + fast suite 105/105; go build/go vet/go test ./pkg/libvmaf pass; clang-format + gofmt + assertion-density + check-copyright clean. icx carve-out is no-op on gcc/clang → golden unchanged. | (2026-06-27) |

| T-ROUND4-C-BUNDLE-2026-06-27 | Ten verified defects from the adversarial round-4 audit of the admin-merged #1043–1062 batch (the batch's per-PR CI was bypassed). All golden-safe — every fix is on an error/close/comment/DNN path, none on a CPU golden score path. CUDA (high): speed_chroma_cuda + speed_temporal_cuda extract_fex leaked an unbalanced CUDA context-stack entry per frame when cuCtxPopCurrent failed (jumped to the bare error return without re-popping); both now retry the pop via a dedicated fail_after_push/fail_pop label and propagate the CUDA error. core (med/low): read_json_model model_collection_parse_loop leaked the partial model+collection on a malformed non-string key after sub-model 0 (teardown added); model.c vmaf_model_collection_append short-name path freed mc without freeing the allocated mc->model (goto fail_model). DNN (med/low): ort_backend build_input_tensor byte-count multiply could overflow size_t past the element-count guard (added n > SIZE_MAX/sizeof guards); fp32_to_fp16 truncated instead of round-to-nearest, diverging from tensor_io.c::f32_to_f16_one for values in (65504,65520) (now rounds, matching). feature-cpu (low): ciede init returned -ENOMEM for unsupported bitdepth (now -EINVAL); ciede close conjunctive guard leaked s->ref on partial alloc (split to independent guards); cambi close called vmaf_picture_unref on never-allocated slots, poisoning err (guarded); corrected a misleading integer_ssim GPU-twin comment; removed a dead op_h local. Deferred from this bundle: #3 (CUDA motion flush idempotency — needs GPU parity testing). | no ADR (bug-fix bundle; audit-derived) | fix/round4-c-bundle | CPU build + fast suite 105/105; CUDA host objects (speed_chroma/speed_temporal_cuda.c) compile clean (host-gcc; nvcc fatbin gen is a known host-env gap, container-canonical); DNN ort_backend validated by the Tiny-AI required check; clang-format + assertion-density + check-copyright clean. | (2026-06-27) |

| T-ROUND4-AI-BUNDLE-2026-06-27 | Three verified AI-training-harness data-integrity/durability defects from the round-4 audit of the admin-merged #1043–1062 batch (training-harness only; no libvmaf/CLI/model/Netflix-golden impact). (1) online_trainer._export_checkpoint advanced _checkpoint_counter + returned the path before export_onnx(), so a failed export burned a version and returned a ghost path; counter now advances + path returned only on a successful durable export (failure → None). (2) online_trainer.ingest cleared _pending inside the lock then trained outside it, dropping the just-cleared samples on a backward-pass RuntimeError; now snapshotted + restored before re-raise. (3) extract_ugc_features skips clips whose integer aspect down-scale rounds a dimension < 2 (1px-wide source → target_w==0), avoiding an ffmpeg scale=0 / ZeroDivisionError on resume. | no ADR (bug-fix bundle; audit-derived) | fix/round4-ai-bundle | py_compile clean; pytest ai/tests -k 'ugc or trainer' 79 passed/8 skipped.

| T-MASTER-CI-TSAN-ARM-GOLDEN-2026-06-27 | Two regressions that rode into master via the 2026-06-27 admin-merge batch (per-PR CI bypassed). (1) Sanitizers (TSan) link failure: the R2-9 OOM-injection test core/test/test_gpu_dispatch_env_oom.cpp replaces the global operator new/operator delete, which collides with the sanitizer allocator interceptors — ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: operator new(unsigned long) — breaking the required Sanitizers check. Fix: the override + the test now self-skip under __SANITIZE_THREAD__/__SANITIZE_ADDRESS__/__SANITIZE_MEMORY__ and the Clang __has_feature equivalents; the pure-logic R2-9 slot-poisoning check still runs in every non-sanitized suite, so coverage is retained. (2) ARM golden drift: PR #1060's aarch64-only -ffp-contract=off guard on the scalar adm_dwt2_s/adm_dwt2_lo_s (ADR-1057 follow-up) shifted the akiyo disable_enhn_gain ADM score on the ARM build matrix (88.030463→88.030322), failing vmafexec_test.py golden assertions (x86 D24 was unaffected — the guard was ARCH_AARCH64-gated, which is why it was not caught pre-merge). Per global rule #1 (immutable golden; fix the code, never the assertion) the scalar guard is reverted — adm_tools.c returns to its pre-#1060 FMA-default scalar arithmetic on aarch64 — and the now-stale test_float_adm_simd.c parity test + its meson registration are removed. The NEON-vs-scalar parity gap returns to the undispatched/FMA-free state of ADR-1057; T-NEON-FMA-FLOAT-ADM-DWT2-2026-06-06 stays Open for a correct re-attempt (make NEON match the scalar FMA reference; validate against the full ARM quality suite). (3) Windows MSVC+CUDA build (required), pre-existing: test_gpu_dispatch_env_oom is the only test whose body is a C++ TU using mu_assert, which returns its string-literal message as char *. On MSVC /std:c++latest that conversion is a hard C2440, and the GCC/Clang-only -Wno-write-strings flag the target carried additionally made cl abort with D8021: invalid numeric argument '/Wno-write-strings' — failing Build — Windows MSVC + CUDA (build only). Fixed by holding the two assert messages in static char[] buffers (decay to char *, no conversion; static storage keeps the returned pointer valid) and dropping the obsolete flag; compiles identically on MSVC/GCC/Clang. C-sourced tests (test_dict/model/feature are .c) are unaffected. | ADR-1057 (Update 2026-06-27) | fix/master-ci-tsan-arm-golden | CPU build + fast suite green locally; test_gpu_dispatch_env_oom builds + passes; adm_tools.c byte-identical to pre-#1060 (git diff 2d2f45283e^ -- core/src/feature/adm_tools.c empty), restoring the akiyo 88.030463 golden on ARM.

| T-BUGHUNT-GO-RUST-BUILD-2026-06-27 | go-rust-build cluster, four disjoint fork-local fixes re-derived cleanly onto current master (the original fix/bughunt-go-rust branch is a corrupted orphan whose owned-path delta would revert merged work; re-implemented from intent + verified against master). (1) GPU probe timeout ineffective (pkg/gpu/detect.go::runProbe): cmd.WaitDelay was set but no context — WaitDelay alone cannot cap a child that produces no output, so a wedged nvidia-smi / driver-blocked rocm-smi could stall gpu.Detect() and node startup forever. Now exec.CommandContext + context.WithTimeout(probeTimeout) + a 1 s grace WaitDelay; the deadline fires and Detect() falls back to CPU. (2) AI inference uncancellable (pkg/ai/infer.go::Registry.Infer): ran vmafx-ort-runner via exec.Command with no context, so a wedged ORT runner hung the worker job. Added a ctx context.Context first parameter + exec.CommandContext with an inferTimeout upper bound when the caller supplies no deadline (mirrors pkg/encoder/pkg/bisect); 3 test call-sites updated. (3) Rust -sys picture double-free footgun (bindings/rust/vmafx-sys/src/safe.rs::read_pictures): borrowed &mut VmafPicture while keeping unref_picture public, so a caller could double-free after the documented ownership transfer. Now consumes both pictures by value (use-after-move is a compile error). The error path does NOT manually unref — the libvmaf contract takes ownership for the call's duration, so a second unref is a use-after-free against a CUDA-enabled libvmaf — matching the vmafx crate's Context::read_pictures (PR #1056 round-3 R3-2). DEDUP: the vmafx crate's separate read_pictures double-free was already fixed by PR #1056 and is NOT re-touched. (4) Stale meson comment (core/src/meson.build): claimed enable_rust_features defaults true; core/meson_options.txt is value: false — corrected to the single source of truth. ALSO restored docs/state.md (truncated to 0 bytes by PR #1055) and docs/rebase-notes.md (truncated to 0 bytes by PR #1060) — two unrelated accidental wipes. | no ADR (bug-fix batch; picture-ownership invariant added to bindings/rust/vmafx-sys/AGENTS.md) | gorust-rederive | Go: go build ./... clean, go vet/go test ./pkg/gpu/... ./pkg/ai/... + ./cmd/vmafx-controller/... pass; gofmt clean.

| T-BUGHUNT-CUDA-2026-06-27 | Three CUDA-backend bug classes from the 2026-06-27 bug-hunt sweep, all fork-local (no CPU Netflix golden-gate impact — the golden gate is CPU-only). (1) Pinned host-buffer leaks: float_vif_cuda never freed num_host[4]/den_host[4] and float_adm_cuda never freed accum_host[FADM_NUM_SCALES] — both allocated via vmaf_cuda_buffer_host_alloc (page-locked host memory) but absent from close_fex_cuda and the init free_buffers error path, leaking on every vmaf_close(). Added the vmaf_cuda_buffer_host_free calls in both close and init-error paths. (integer_ms_ssim_cuda was already correct — its close frees h_ref/h_cmp + the per-scale h_l/h_c/h_s partial triples — so no change; finding was a false positive.) (2) integer_motion_cuda SAD precision: normalize_and_scale_sad truncated to single precision via an intermediate (float) cast and divided by an unsigned w*h product, diverging from the CPU twin's (double)sad / 256. / (w*h) (integer_motion.c); recast end-to-end in double. (3) speed_temporal / speed_chroma errno squash: all fail: labels reachable from CHECK_CUDA_GOTO returned a literal -EIO, discarding the _cuda_err the macro had already mapped from the CUresult (-ENOMEM/-ENODEV/-EINVAL/-EIO); changed all macro-reachable fail:/fail_pop:/fail_after_pop: labels to return _cuda_err; (the two manual cuMemcpyDtoH/cuCtxPushCurrent boolean checks keep their literal -EIO). | no ADR (bug fix; CUDA fork-local, no golden impact) | fix/bughunt-cuda | Built -Denable_cuda=true (CUDA 13.3, RTX 4090); touched-feature tests pass: test_cuda_float_vif_parity, test_cuda_float_motion_parity, test_cuda_motion3_parity, test_cuda_motion_v2_parity, test_cuda_speed_temporal_{smoke,parity}, test_cuda_speed_chroma_{smoke,parity}, test_cuda_preallocation_leak, test_cuda_pic_preallocation (10/10). Pre-existing parity failures in float_adm/cambi/ssimulacra2/float_moment/psnr_hvs confirmed present on the unmodified baseline (identical deltas) — out of scope. clang-format + assertion-density + check-copyright clean. | (2026-06-27) | | T-BUGHUNT-CORE-ENGINE-2026-06-27 | Three core-engine error-path bugs from the 2026-06-27 bug-hunt sweep (core-engine subsystem). (1) Picture-pool deadlock (core/src/libvmaf.c threaded_read_pictures_batch): when vmaf_thread_pool_enqueue failed, the function returned without unref'ing the caller's ref/dist. Because vmaf_read_pictures treats the done=true return as "ownership transferred" and skips its own cleanup: unref, each failed enqueue leaked a picture-pool slot; once the always-on pool drained, the next vmaf_picture_pool_fetch deadlocked in pthread_cond_wait. Fix: the failure path now unrefs ref/dist like the success path. (2) Wrong error code (core/src/feature/feature_collector.c aggregate_vector_append): the feature-name malloc-failure path returned -EINVAL instead of -ENOMEM; an audit fix had only landed in the non-compiled .cpp twin. Fix: return -ENOMEM, mirroring the .cpp. (3) Handle loss + dropped collection (core/src/model.c vmaf_model_collection_append): the realloc that grows an existing collection took the shared fail: label on failure, which nulled the caller's *model_collection and freed a still-valid collection (realloc leaves the old buffer intact on failure). Fix: the grow path now returns -ENOMEM without taking fail:. The bpc ref/dist &&→|| validate_pic_params item from the same sweep was already fixed in master (test_validate_pic_params_bpc present and green) — skipped as already-handled. | no ADR (error-path bug-fix batch; root causes in commit body) | fix/bughunt-core-engine | CPU build clean (1251/1251 targets); meson test -C core/build --suite=fast 103/103 pass; Netflix golden gate green against the worktree binary — VmafexecQualityRunnerTest 32/32 + vmafexec_feature_extractor_test.py 107/107 (scores 76.667 / 99.946 / 97.428 unchanged). | (2026-06-27) | | T-BUGHUNT-FEATURE-CPU-2026-06-27 | Bug-hunt sweep (feature-cpu subsystem). (1) CIEDE2000 4:2:2 chroma-upsample flag swap (core/src/feature/ciede.c scale_chroma_planes + scale_chroma_planes_hbd): the horizontal sample index used ss_ver and the vertical row advance used ss_hor — the two subsampling flags were transposed. On YUV422P (half-width / full-height chroma) the horizontal index read past the half-width input row (heap OOB) and the vertical advance skipped half the input rows, yielding wrong ciede2000 scores. YUV420P (ss_hor==ss_ver==1, swap is a no-op) and YUV444P (early return, never calls the function) were unaffected, which is why the Netflix golden CIEDE2000 test (420P content) never caught it. Fix: horizontal index → ss_hor, vertical advance → ss_ver. Note: this matches/diverges from upstream Netflix (the upstream code carries the identical transposition); the fix is the correct chroma-subsample math. (2) cambi init() partial-failure leak (core/src/feature/cambi.c): every error return in init() left the picture pool, contrast/tvi/c-values/histogram/mask buffers, and the feature-name dict allocated — the framework never calls close() after a failed init(). Fix: route all error paths through a fail: label calling the null-tolerant close_cambi(). (3) integer_ssim 16-bpc samplemax² signed-int overflow (core/src/feature/integer_ssim.c, round-2 finding R2-1): c1/c2 = samplemax * samplemax * SSIM_K1/K2 * w_d * w_d with int samplemax = (1<<depth)-1; for depth=16 65535*65535 = 4,294,836,225 > INT_MAX wraps to −131071 (signed-overflow UB), corrupting the SSIM stability constants for all 16-bpc input and diverging from the CUDA/HIP/SYCL twins (which use int64_t/double). 8/10/12-bpc fit in int and are bit-unchanged. Fix: hoist const double sm = (double)samplemax; and compute c1=sm*sm*…, matching the GPU twins. (SKIPPED round-2 R2-8 cambi histogram alloc int-overflow: already fixed in tree — c_values_histograms at cambi.c:746-747 already computes (size_t)alloc_w * v_band_size * sizeof(uint16_t); the finding's line citation had drifted.) | no ADR (correctness + error-path bug-fix batch; per CLAUDE §12 r8) | fix/bughunt-feature-cpu | ./build-cpu/test/test_ciede → 6/6 pass incl. new test_ciede_scale_chroma_422_8b/_16b (load-bearing); new test_ssim_16bit_distorted_in_range in test_ssim_coverage (scores 0.999992 with the fix vs 1.185 — out of [0,1] — with the int overflow); meson test -C build-cpu --suite=fast 103/103; cambi golden gate (python/test/cambi_test.py) 13/13; Netflix CIEDE2000 + SSIM golden tests PASS unchanged (8/10/12-bpc numbers identical).

(1) SVE2 moment widening (wrong math). compute_1st/2nd_moment_sve2 (core/src/feature/arm64/moment_sve2.c) stepped by svcntd() and widened f32→f64 with svcvt_f64_f32_x alone, assuming it converts the lower contiguous f32 lanes. Per the ARM A64 reference, SVE FCVT .s→.d reads the even-indexed f32 lanes (source element 2*i); on any SVE register wider than 64 bits the kernel double-counted even lanes and dropped every odd lane (qemu-measured relative error up to ~45% at 128-bit VL). Fixed by stepping a full svcntw() register and widening both halves — even via svcvt_f64_f32_x, odd via the SVE2 svcvtlt_f64_f32_x (FCVTLT, element 2*i+1) — with merging adds (svadd_f64_m). (2) 2nd-moment SIMD tail squared in double (bit-exactness divergence). The per-row scalar tail in moment_avx2.c / moment_avx512.c / moment_neon.c squared in double ((double)p*(double)p) while the main loop and scalar reference (moment.c) square in float; fixed to (double)(p*p).

| T-BUGHUNT-MCP-2026-06-27 | Bug-hunt sweep (mcp subsystem): four Go↔Python MCP parity / security findings fixed; two were already fixed in-tree and skipped. (mcp #1, high) the Go cmd/vmafx-mcp streamable-HTTP transport had no auth, no body limit, and bound all interfaces — the Python ADR-0967 hardening was never ported. New cmd/vmafx-mcp/http_security.go adds a bearer-token middleware (VMAFX_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN, crypto/subtle constant-time compare, VMAFX_MCP_HTTP_NO_AUTH=1 opt-out, refuse-all 401 when neither is set), a 4 MiB body limit (http.MaxBytesReader + Content-Length pre-flight → 413), and a loopback-only default bind (VMAFX_MCP_HTTP_BIND, default 127.0.0.1, applied when mcp.http.addr has no host); wired into main.go::runMCPTransport. (mcp #3, med) score-precision default unified to legacy (%.6f, ADR-0119): the Python HTTP /v1/score path (http_transport.py:520) and the Go direct-cgo→subprocess fallback (impl_direct.go) both defaulted to "17", diverging from the documented C-CLI default and the stdio path. (mcp #4, low) Go eval_model_on_split inline script gained the pred/target shape-mismatch guard the Python _eval_model_on_split already has. (mcp #5, low) the three Go vmaf-tune wrappers (run_compare/run_ladder/run_tune_per_shot) now fold subprocess stderr into the error via a shared runVmafTune helper (vmaf-tune <sub> exited <rc>: <stderr>), mirroring the Python text, instead of discarding it with exec.Output().

| T-GPU-SPEED-COVARIANCE-EIGENBASIS-CORRECTNESS-2026-06-20 | GPU SpEED (speed_chroma / speed_temporal on CUDA / HIP / SYCL) produced wrong scores on every GPU run — never caught because the CUDA/HIP parity tests need a GPU (CI has none) and the SYCL fixture was below the SpEED pyramid minimum so the extractor EINVAL'd before the kernels ran. Two algorithm bugs: (A) the means/cov kernels computed per-tile block-local statistics (means[elem*num_blocks+tile], sampled at tile_y*5+er, summing num_blocks displaced block-local covariances) instead of the CPU's single global covariance over the 5×5-phase-shifted full-plane submatrix (means[25], scalar global means, divide by N once) → ~7× low scores; (B) the distorted path reused the reference covariance + eigenvalue basis via a cov save/restore, and the score kernel shared one eigenvalue array for ref + dis, so distorted entropy was wrong whenever ref ≠ dis (chroma ~2× high; masked on temporal where ref ≈ dis). Fix: rewrite both kernels to the global formulation (means[] stays over-allocated at 25*num_blocks, only [0,25) used; launch geometry unchanged); add d_eigenvalues_ref + DtoD stash, drop the save/restore, and pass separate ref_eigenvalues/dis_eigenvalues to speed_score_kernel. Ported the verified CUDA fix to the HIP + SYCL twins. Co-fixed safety bugs in the same extractors: host read of a CUDA device pointer in picture_copy() (SEGV/frame → cuMemcpyDtoH download first), eigenvalue-scratch heap overflow (n*n+3*n→n*n+4*n, all six GPU extractors), CPU speed.c heap-OOB from an unchecked speed_init_dimensions() return underflowing submatrix_height, SYCL solve-kernel divergent-barrier deadlock (DEVICE_LOST on Intel Arc), and CUDA/HIP init-OOM resource leaks.

CUDA: integer_ssim_cuda.c free_ref never free()d the five calloc'd VmafCudaBuffer host wrappers (vmaf_cuda_buffer_free only cuMemFrees the device alloc); integer_vif_cuda.c free_ref post-module OOM path leaked the PTX module + stream + two events.

On odd-width or odd-height frames the SYCL path allocated chroma planes one block-row/column short, dropping the last 8x8 chroma strip and emitting psnr_hvs_cb / psnr_hvs_cr / psnr_hvs scores that silently diverged from every other backend.

(1) flush_context_serial (core/src/libvmaf.c) drained only CUDA/HIP/SYCL extractors' pending final-frame collect() at end-of-stream; the 8 Metal extractors had no drain branch, so the generic submit/collect double-buffer left the last submitted frame's collect(N) pending and the final frame's score (plus the motion/motion2 tail) was silently dropped. Fix: add VMAF_FEATURE_EXTRACTOR_METAL flag (bit 7) in core/src/feature/feature_extractor.h, set it on all 8 registered feature/metal/ extractors, and add a HAVE_METAL drain branch in flush mirroring the HIP path. (2) float_motion_metal (core/src/feature/metal/float_motion_metal.mm) never appended motion2 = 0.0 at index 0 (frame-0 motion2 missing from output) and wrote motion2 twice at index 1; collect() indexing now appends motion2 = 0.0 at index 0 and makes index 1 a no-op, matching integer_motion_metal and the HIP/CUDA twins.

(1) Empty-frame clips: _run_vmaf_json returns [] when vmaf decodes a clip but scores zero frames (exit 0); _aggregate_frames([]) returns an all-NaN row and the as_completed loop still calls _append_done, so the clip is dropped from the corpus with no retry — contradicting _process_clip's documented "raises on any failure" contract. Fixed: _process_clip now raises on an empty frame list → caller logs + skips for a later resume.

Upstream's bundled feature-source reorg (moving speed.c/convolution.c/vif_tools.c out of the float block) was deliberately not ported — those sources are already wired differently on the fork.

RDNA2+ devices (gfx1030/gfx1100/gfx1101) default to wave32 (warpSize=32); the hardcoded 64 caused the reduction loops to execute only 32 of the 64 required XOR-shuffle steps, halving each accumulator field.

After the loop, the final frame's ref count was 2 (1 from alloc + 1 from wrapper); context_destroy decremented one, the test loop decremented one — count stayed at 0 but was decremented twice, causing double-free UB on one frame and leaking another. Fix: remove all manual prev_ref assignments and memset calls; the PREV_REF wrapper manages prev_ref automatically as in production; context_destroy handles final release. Also adds vmaf_picture_pool_flush() to picture.c/picture.h to drain the global pixel-buffer pool at test teardown. | no ADR: test bug fix | fix/state-sweep-fix (this PR) | ASAN_OPTIONS=allocator_may_return_null=1:detect_leaks=1 ./test/test_integer_motion_v2_coverage — 6/6 pass, no LSan output. | (2026-06-07) | | T-NIGHTLY-BISECT-TRACKER-WRONG-ISSUE-2026-06-07 | nightly-bisect.yml set BISECT_TRACKER_ISSUE: "40", pointing at PR #40 (a closed pull request, not a standalone issue).

| T-MCP-SCORE-POOLED-EAGAIN-2026-06-06 | vmaf_score_pooled returned -EAGAIN (−11) on any multi-frame sequence called after flush, causing the MCP compute_vmaf handler to emit a JSON-RPC error. Root cause: the -EAGAIN guard in vmaf_score_at_index (added by ADR-0154 / Netflix#755 to protect retroactive-write input features) was also applied to the model output score slot. After frame 0 prediction creates the "vmaf" feature vector (capacity > 1, slot 0 written), frames 1+ returned -EAGAIN from get_score (unwritten slot); the guard suppressed vmaf_predict_score_at_index, propagating -EAGAIN through vmaf_score_pooled. Fix: if (err && err != -EAGAIN) → if (err) in vmaf_score_at_index. Input features are fully available after flush, so no -EAGAIN propagates from the input side at scoring time.

Three companion test failures: (1) test_hip_ms_ssim_parity and test_cuda_float_ms_ssim_parity used 256x144 fixtures; float_ms_ssim requires min(w,h)>=176; (2) test_hip_motion_parity queried VMAF_integer_feature_motion_score without debug=true. | ADR-1072 | fix(core): PREV_REF refcount leak in batch dispatch + test fixture/debug-flag fixes | test_picture_pool_basic passes; fast-suite 83/83. | (2026-06-06) |

| T-PIC-PREALLOC-ASAN-LEAK-2026-06-06 | test_pic_preallocation failed ASan detect_leaks=1 in CI even after PR #765 fixed the deadlock. Root cause: flush_context_threaded calls fex->flush(fex, ...) directly on the shared (never-initialized) extractor instance rather than a per-thread deep copy. integer_motion::flush lazily creates s->feature_name_dict when it was not set by init; however vmaf_feature_extractor_context_close returned early because is_initialized == false, so close_fex was never invoked and the dict leaked. Fix: set fex_ctx->is_initialized = true before the flush loop so that feature_extractor_vector_destroy at teardown actually calls fex->close.

The ASan/UBSan and TSan allocators abort with SIGABRT instead of returning NULL on huge-alloc paths, causing spurious CI failures with no diagnostic value.

Pass 2's record_combined_graphs() called config_fn(ge.priv, slot) for all entries, including slot 0 whose priv was dangling — SIGSEGV.

(1) cuda/drain_batch.c::drain_stream_ensure — cuCtxPopCurrent failure on the success path dropped to fail_after_pop which only NULL'd the stream pointer, leaking the drain stream we just created. (2) cuda/picture_cuda.c::vmaf_cuda_picture_alloc — the unwind at fail only freed priv, leaking the upload stream + ready/finished events + every device pointer already allocated by cuMemAllocPitch when a later allocation failed mid-loop. (3) cuda/common.c::vmaf_cuda_release — cuCtxPopCurrent or cuDevicePrimaryCtxRelease failure dropped to fail_after_pop and returned the error code, leaving the dlopen'd CudaFunctions table allocated for the process lifetime. (4) gpu_picture_pool.c::vmaf_gpu_picture_pool_init — the per-slot alloc loop OR-aggregated callback results and returned mid-initialised state with *pool populated. Callers (e.g. picture_sycl.cpp) saw a non-zero err, ran their own destructor on the wrapper, and leaked per-slot device memory + mutex + p->pic. Fixed by unwinding successful prior slots, destroying the mutex, freeing the slot array, and NULLing *pool. (5) sycl/common.cpp::vmaf_sycl_graph_register — when the lazy compute-queue create failed, the function returned -ENOMEM but had already pushed the extractor entry and incremented num_graph_extractors, leaving a registered extractor with no queue; every subsequent graph_submit asserted then dereferenced a null queue. Fixed by reversing the order. (6) sycl/dmabuf_import.cpp::vmaf_sycl_import_va_surface_readback — a SYCL exception from q->memcpy or q->wait() escaped with the VA image still mapped and still allocated. Wrapped the SYCL submits + wait in try/catch and ran vaUnmapBuffer + vaDestroyImage on the error path. Plus one cleanup: removed a stray // test trailing comment from sycl/common.cpp. Companion regression test test_gpu_picture_pool_partial_init (CPU-only, fast suite) drives the new unwind via pure-C stub alloc/free callbacks and was verified to fail on the pre-fix tree (pool_init must NULL out *pool on failure) and pass post-fix. | ADR-0982 | chore/gpu-runtime-bug-audit | meson test -C core/build --suite=fast — 72/72 pass; pre-fix test_gpu_picture_pool_partial_init fails on pool_init must NULL out *pool on failure; both parsers green (check-adr-numbering.sh, check-copyright.sh). | (2026-05-31) | | T-VMAFX-TUNE-GO-DEEP-BUG-AUDIT-2026-05-31 | Deep audit of cmd/vmafx-tune/ (Stage-1 Go CLI per ADR-0705 / ADR-0713) and its pkg/{report,bisect,encoder,ladder} dependencies, closing five distinct bugs. (1) JSON NaN propagation in bisect_samples — report.EmitJSON and cmd/vmafx-tune/cmd.emitSweepJSON previously sanitised only the top-level row floats, leaving []bisect.Sample declared as raw float64 fields in the wire shape; a single non-finite VMAF / bitrate / encode-time in a sample crashed json.MarshalIndent with "unsupported value: NaN" and broke the Python ↔ Go parser-parity invariant (AGENTS.md rebase-sensitive invariant #2). New public helper report.SanitizeBisectSamples walks the nested floats; mirrored coverage added in emitLadderJSON for Cloud + Hull + Renditions across BitratekBps, VMAF, TargetVMAF. (2) parseVMAFXMLMean accepted "NaN" / "+Inf" / "-Inf" — Go strconv.ParseFloat accepts those tokens without error, so a corrupt vmaf XML mean fed non-finite scores into bisect.Sample and from there into the JSON marshaller failure mode of bug 1. Parser now rejects non-finite means at the source. (3)–(4)–(5) Subprocess hang risk — every exec.Command in pkg/encoder (ffmpeg encode, ffprobe bitrate, codec discovery) and pkg/bisect (vmaf scoring) ran with no context and no timeout, so a hung child pinned the sweep forever. Now exec.CommandContext with per-stage upper bounds overridable via VMAFX_TUNE_ENCODE_TIMEOUT (default 60m), VMAFX_TUNE_SCORE_TIMEOUT (default 30m), VMAFX_TUNE_PROBE_TIMEOUT (default 30s). (6) Codec-discovery cache stale-key — the previous sync.Once gate locked in whichever ffmpeg binary path was probed first, with _ = ffmpegBin masquerading as cache invalidation. Cache key is now the binary path; calling with a different path triggers a re-probe and replaces the cache. Eight new Go regression tests (TestEmitJSON_NaNInBisectSamplesDoesNotCrash, TestEmitLadderJSON_NaNInHullAndRenditions, TestParseVMAFXMLMean_Rejects{NaN,PositiveInf,NegativeInf}, TestProbeAvailableCodecs_CacheRespectsBinaryPath, TestVMAFScoreFunc_DoesNotHangOnMissingBinary, TestProbeBitrateKbps_TimeoutDoesNotHang, plus env-var-default coverage).

(1) cmd/vmafx-node/online_feedback.go::FeedbackClient documented a Close() method on the constructor ("Call Close() to stop the drainer.") that did not exist — the drainer could only be stopped by cancelling the constructor's ctx. Any caller that took the doc at face value and called fc.Close() would have failed to compile. Added Close() that cancels an internal sub-context and synchronously waits on a done channel; multi-Close is idempotent, post-ctx-cancel Close still drains cleanly. (2) FeedbackClient accepted a nil *slog.Logger but the drainer's first log.Warn (on dial failure) and log.Debug (on queue overflow drop) dereferenced it — verified var l *slog.Logger; l.InfoContext(...) panics on stock Go 1.24. Constructor now substitutes slog.Default() when log is nil. (3) cmd/vmafx-node/executor.go::NewExecutor had the same nil-logger trap; the existing TestExecutor_ScoringJobFailsWithBadBinary passes nil to the constructor but skips on hosts where libvmaf.New("false","") cannot resolve the false binary via PATH lookup, hiding the NPE. Constructor now substitutes slog.Default(). (4) classifyJob's "AI heuristic" inline comment said "only one path is set and no model is set" but the code requires the model to be set (the test TestExecutor_AIJobUnsupportedStage1 agrees with the code, not the comment); rewrote the comment to describe the actual behaviour. Test-only follow-up: TestAssignJobBackToQueueOnNodeDisconnect constructed two nodes.Registry instances without calling Close(), leaking two reaper goroutines per test run (the newFixture helper used by the other scheduler tests already had the cleanup pattern). Added matching defer r.Close() calls. Four new regression tests in cmd/vmafx-node/online_feedback_test.go (drainer-stop, idempotent multi-Close, nil-logger send + drop path, ctx-cancel + Close interaction) plus one new test in executor_test.go lock in the nil-logger guard for Executor. | no ADR: bug fixes per CLAUDE §12 r8 | fix/scheduler-node-audit-round1 | go test ./cmd/vmafx-controller/scheduler/... ./cmd/vmafx-node/... -race -count=5 → 4/4 packages pass on all 5 iterations; go vet and go build ./... clean. | (2026-05-31) | | T-TEST-SVM-PARSER-LINK-PLUS-OPERATOR-AUDIT-2026-05-31 | Bundled fix: (a) pre-existing master-tip link break in test_svm_parser (the Meson executable's source list omitted ../src/thread_locale.c, so svm.cpp::svm_load_model / svm_save_model left vmaf_thread_locale_push_c / vmaf_thread_locale_pop as undefined references at link time — the sibling test_svm_api target already lists the file, proving the precedent); and (b) deep audit of cmd/vmafx-operator/ (kubebuilder/controller-runtime k8s operator under Phase 4b). Operator findings: (1) VmafxNode.probeHealthz deferred resp.Body.Close() without draining the body, so each 30-second probe per VmafxNode tore down the TCP connection instead of returning it to Go's HTTP keep-alive pool; fixed by io.Copy(io.Discard, resp.Body) before Close. (2) CRD integer fields used Go int — Kubernetes API conventions require int32 because OpenAPI v3 has no architecture-dependent integer type; widened five fields across the three CRDs.

(1) picture_pool.c::pool_preallocate_pictures cleanup loop called vmaf_picture_unref on previously-prepared pool slots whose priv/ref had already been cleared — the unref short-circuited and left the data buffer leaked for every successful slot. Fixed by aligned_free-ing data[0] directly. (2) model.{c,cpp}::vmaf_model_load + vmaf_model_collection_load passed version straight into strcmp without a NULL guard. (3) predict.c::piecewise_segment_apply + piecewise_linear_mapping returned bare positive EINVAL instead of the negated convention used everywhere else; the sign inverted on any caller that propagated the value. (4) predict.c::transform ignored piecewise_linear_mapping's return value and silently overwrote the prediction with the default y_out = 0 on knot validation failure. (5) predict.c::predict_ensure_caches returned the resolver error without rolling back the partially populated predict_feature_names table, so subsequent calls skipped re-init and dereferenced NULL holes. (6) feature_collector.cpp::aggregate_vector_append returned -EINVAL on malloc failure where -ENOMEM is required. (7) output.c::vmaf_write_output_csv + vmaf_write_output_sub lacked the NULL-fc / NULL-outfile guards the sibling XML/JSON writers gained under ADR-0602 — NULL caller crashed instead of returning -EINVAL.

(1) pkg/observability.NewShutdownContext spawned a goroutine blocked on <-ch with no <-ctx.Done() arm — calling the returned stop() cancelled the parent context but did not unblock the goroutine nor signal.Stop(ch). Each NewShutdownContext / stop() cycle that exited via stop() first (e.g. any os.Exit(1) path in cmd/vmafx-server/main.go that skipped defer stop()) leaked one goroutine + one signal-handler subscription for the process lifetime. (2) pkg/score.Client.OpenScoreStream + ScoreStream.PushFrame wrapped a bare io.EOF from Send instead of draining Recv to retrieve the server's real gRPC status — so a malformed StreamConfig (zero dimensions / wrong oneof, validated by cmd/vmafx-server/grpc_server.go:107-138) surfaced as "send StreamConfig: EOF" rather than the underlying InvalidArgument. (3) cmd/vmafx-server/http_server.handleScore used json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&req) with no body cap; an unauthenticated POST with a multi-GB body could balloon the decoder's read buffer until OOM. (4) cmd/vmafx-server/grpc_server had no panic-recovery interceptor; a panic in any handler (notably the cgo libvmaf call path) would tear down the worker goroutine and crash the entire server process. (5) Defensive: pkg/score.Recv compared err == io.EOF instead of errors.Is(err, io.EOF). Fixed: NewShutdownContext delegates to signal.NotifyContext; OpenScoreStream + PushFrame use a new recvStatusOnEOF helper that drains Recv on Send-EOF and surfaces the real status; handleScore uses http.MaxBytesReader at 1 MiB and maps *http.MaxBytesError to HTTP 413; runGRPC installs recoveryUnaryInterceptor + recoveryStreamInterceptor that translate panic into codes.Internal; Recv uses errors.Is. Out of scope (deferred to a separate PR — would force a multi-package signature change touching pkg/libvmaf + cmd/vmafx-controller + cmd/vmafx-node): scorer.Score() takes no context.Context so the vmaf CLI subprocess keeps running after a client disconnects — tracked as T-LIBVMAF-SCORE-NEEDS-CTX-2026-05-31 (Open). | ADR-0978 | fix/vmafx-server-audit | CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race -count=1 -tags cgo ./cmd/vmafx-server/... ./pkg/score/... ./pkg/observability/... all packages OK; go vet clean.

(1) y4m_input_open_impl ignored failed malloc() returns — dst_buf = NULL was surfaced to the caller as success, and the next video_input_fetch_frame called fread(NULL, …) faulting inside libc as SIGSEGV. (2) Both y4m_input.c and yuv_input.c computed dst_buf_sz in int / unsigned precision and assigned to size_t, wrapping for headers near the 32-bit ceiling — malloc then succeeded with a too-small buffer and the first fread overflowed the heap allocation. The 4:4:4 paths in y4m_input.c already cast (lines 736 / 743 / 779), proving the precedent. (3) vmaf_bench::bench_feature leaked VmafCudaState / VmafSyclState on every success and most error paths — the state pointers were local to #ifdef blocks. The companion run_feature_collect in the same TU was already fixed under the T5 state-leak audit.

New test_y4m_alloc_failure (POSIX-only, fast suite) drives the parser against a 65535×65535 4:4:4 12-bit header with RLIMIT_AS clamped below the demanded buffer size — verified to fail on pre-fix tree, pass post-fix. | ADR-0977 | fix/core-tools-audit | meson test -C core/build --suite=fast → 71/71 pass; pre-fix test_y4m_alloc_failure failed (exit 1, "regression of dst_buf-NULL bug"), post-fix passes. | (2026-05-31) | | T-MASTER-CI-VERIFIED-2026-05-31 | Two master CI regressions on tip 4948b771c, both verified locally in the vmaf-dev-mcp container before being patched (no guessing). (1) test_metal_float_ms_ssim_parity failing on all 3 macOS jobs with CPU: vmaf_read_pictures failed — fixture FIXTURE_H = 144u was below the 5-level 11-tap MS-SSIM min_dim = 176 floor (core/src/feature/float_ms_ssim.c:131-138, Netflix#1414 / ADR-0153), so CPU init returned -EINVAL before the Metal path ran. Fix: bump FIXTURE_H to 192u. Reproduced via the production CLI (vmaf --feature float_ms_ssim on a 256×144 zero-YUV) since the Metal test itself does not build on Linux. (2) test_ssimulacra2_simd::test_xyb failing on Linux all-backends (icpx 2025.3) with linear_rgb_to_xyb SIMD not bit-identical to scalar — icx ignores both -ffp-contract=off and -fp-model=precise for inline scalar code and emits vfmadd231ps for the kM00*r + m01*g + kM02*b + kOpsinBias chain, diverging from the AVX2 SIMD lib whose explicit _mm256_mul_ps + _mm256_add_ps intrinsics emit no FMA. Reproduced under icx 2026.0.0 in container (test_xyb: fail after test_multiply: pass); 242 vfmadd instructions confirmed in icx -S output.

Tolerance places=3 (1e-3) for both (multi-scale pyramid + windowed SSIM pooling sit at the MS-SSIM rounding budget per ADR-0214).

However, wiring speed_chroma_hip.c / speed_temporal_hip.c into the HIP archive surfaced a pre-existing latent link defect (see T-HIP-SPEED-INTERNAL-IMPL-MISSING-2026-05-31 in Open).

(1) Symmetric feature-name bug — both CPU and HIP branches called run_extractor("adm", ...), so the HIP comparand silently re-ran the upstream CPU adm extractor; the ADR-0539 integer-ADM CPU-vs-HIP parity claim was not enforced by its named gate. (2) Missing -ENOSYS skip predicate for the enable_hip=true, enable_hipcc=false posture — the adm_hip extractor's init/submit hits the #ifndef HAVE_HIPCC scaffold path and returns -ENOSYS, which the blanket mu_assert("vmaf_read_pictures failed", !err) would have surfaced as a hard test failure once the feature-name was fixed. Fix: switched the HIP call site to "adm_hip"; extracted an adm_submit_one_frame() helper that tears down the partially-initialised context on -ENOSYS and emits [skip: HIP kernels not built (enable_hipcc=false)].

(1) core/src/feature/cambi.c: options table declared window_size / max_log_contrast as VMAF_OPT_TYPE_INT, but underlying CambiState fields were uint16_t. The parser's *(int *)data = ... write produced a UBSan misaligned-store on max_log_contrast (2-byte-aligned offset) and silently clobbered src_window_size on window_size. Mirror read site in vmaf_feature_name_from_options (core/src/feature/feature_name.c:104) repeated the load-side misalignment per frame. Fixed by adding int shadow slots (window_size_opt, max_log_contrast_opt) and copying into the uint16_t runtime fields in init(). (2) core/src/feature/x86/adm_avx{2,512}.c: DWT2 filter-packing used (uint32_t)(filter[k] << 16) with the cast on the shift's RESULT rather than its operand, leaving the inner shift on a signed int — UB whenever filter[k] was negative (every HBD ADM frame).

On goto free_p (pic-array malloc or pthread_mutex_init failure) the function freed p but *pool still held the dangling pointer, and the natural vmaf_close() teardown called vmaf_gpu_picture_pool_close() on the freed memory — UAF + potential double-free, since libvmaf.c:326 stores the handle in the long-lived VmafContext.cuda.ring_buffer. Fix: clear *pool = NULL at every failure label (after !p malloc check and after free(p) at the free_p label) so a non-zero return reliably signals "pool not constructed".

(A) Default --target-vmafs 85,90,92,95 was a premium-archival sweep that ignored the broadcast / low-bandwidth streaming operating range (VMAF 70-90) and frequently produced "unreachable" failure rows at 95+ because the codec's CRF ceiling cannot push 4K high-motion content past ~94-95. (B) The rate-quality chart connected per-codec picked-CRF points across (codec, target) pairs, but the bisect overshoots / undershoots each target by a different amount — producing physically impossible downward slopes (e.g. libx265 BBB v10: target 92 → achieved 90.5, then target 95 → achieved 95.3, drawing a downward line that read as "more bitrate → less VMAF"). Fix (ADR-0534): (A) flip the default to 75,80,85,90,93; preserve v1 single-target back-compat via a _TrackedDefaultAction sentinel that detects "--target-vmaf NN explicit + --target-vmafs default" and routes to the legacy v1 path. (B) extend the v2 schema with an optional additive bisect_samples: [{crf, bitrate_kbps, vmaf_score, encode_time_ms}, ...] row field carrying every probe the underlying bisect already computed; _sweep_plot_fn aggregates samples per codec across all targets, dedupes by CRF, sorts by bitrate, and plots a genuine monotonic R-Q curve with the picked-CRF rows overlaid as larger circled markers. Pareto frontier stays as the dashed overlay. Old v2 JSONs without samples (and v1 JSONs) render via the legacy connect-the-dots line with a caveat note in the chart title. CSV intentionally drops the structured column. +10 regression tests under test_compare_rate_quality_sweep.py (bisect records samples, to_row gating, JSON round-trip, CSV drop, ingest parse + back-compat, chart phrasing both modes, default value, v1 back-compat). | ADR-0534 | fix/compare-rate-quality-chart-from-bisect-samples | PYTHONPATH=tools/vmaf-tune/src python -m pytest tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_compare_rate_quality_sweep.py tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_bisect.py tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_compare.py tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_report.py (all green) | (2026-05-18) | T-FFMPEG-PATCH-0007-AOM-ROI-FIELDS-NONEXISTENT-2026-05-18 | The fork's ffmpeg-patches/0007-libvmaf-tune-qpfile-unified.patch adds a qpfile_aom_apply_roi helper to libavcodec/libaomenc.c that references aom_roi_map_t fields (enabled, skip, ref_frame, delta_qp_enabled) that DO NOT EXIST in any released libaom version.

The patch was likely written against a libaom development branch whose ROI API never shipped. Latent because no prior dev-image enabled --enable-libaom; surfaced during ADR-0543's first libaom-enabled FFmpeg build.

The BBB e2e v10 vmaf-tune compare sweep dropped every other encoder with the stable hardware encoder not available: <enc> not compiled into ffmpeg skip string, leaving the three GPUs (RTX 4090 + Intel Arc A380 + AMD gfx1036) unused for encode even after ADR-0514 had unlocked their kernel dispatch for libvmaf scoring. The probe is correct: tools/vmaf-tune/src/vmaftune/compare.py::probe_encoder_available greps ffmpeg -encoders and emits the row-level skip rather than aborting; the fix is on the container side. Fix: stage 3.5 of dev/Containerfile adds libvpl-dev (apt), builds SVT-AV1 v2.1.0 + Fraunhofer VVenC v1.12.0 from source and vendors AMD AMF v1.4.36 headers under /usr/local, and the FFmpeg configure line is extended with --enable-libsvtav1 --enable-libvvenc --enable-nvenc --enable-cuda-nvcc --enable-libvpl --enable-amf --disable-filter=amf_capture.

Root causes (Research-0138, four independent gaps): (1) the level-zero UR adapter dlopens libhwloc.so.15 at adapter-load time and the library lives at /opt/intel/oneapi/tcm/latest/lib/libhwloc.so.15 but tcm/latest/lib was not on LD_LIBRARY_PATH; (2) VK_ICD_FILENAMES was pinned to /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/lvp_icd.x86_64.json (a non-existent path — mesa ships lvp_icd.json without the .x86_64 suffix) which made the Vulkan loader return zero devices; setting the env var to empty in the Containerfile is NOT a fix because the loader treats empty the same as missing — dev/scripts/dev-mcp-entrypoint.sh now unsets the env vars on container start; (3) Docker's devices: directive passes leaf device-nodes but drops the udev-managed /dev/dri/by-path/pci-XXXX:YY:ZZ.W-render symlinks the Intel compute-runtime needs to enumerate Arc; (4) core/tools/meson.build conditionally added -DHAVE_CUDA=1 / -DHAVE_SYCL=1 / -DHAVE_VULKAN=1 to vmaf_tool_cflags but had no matching -DHAVE_HIP=1 branch, so the CLI's #ifdef HAVE_HIP guards (around libvmaf_hip.h include, VmafHipState init/cleanup, --backend hip strict-mode arm in tools/vmaf.c) were compiled out even when libvmaf itself had HIP enabled.

ONNX Runtime itself loaded the files (including the external-data v1/v2 sibling-.onnx.data layout) — the rejection was purely in libvmaf. Fix: branch vmaf_ctx_dnn_attach and vmaf_ctx_dnn_run_frame on rank; rank-2 path materialises the canonical-6 features (adm2, vif_scale0..3, motion2) from the live feature collector at inference time, applies the sidecar's optional StandardScaler, and dispatches single- or multi-input ORT inference (pre-seeding the optional codec block to the "unknown" encoder one-hot for fr_regressor_v2).

Pinned by 9 new regression tests + the existing V2 cross-res scale-filter test extended to assert the reference-side scale invocation. | ADR-0501 | fix/bbb-e2e-v4-bug-cluster-2026-05-18 | PYTHONPATH=tools/vmaf-tune/src python -m pytest tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_bbb_e2e_v4_bug_cluster.py (9 tests, 1 skipped on Vulkan-less hosts) | (last ~3 months) | T-BBB-E2E-V6-CLUSTER-2026-05-18 | BBB end-to-end v6 probe (2026-05-18) surfaced three follow-ups against the v5 fixes, all confined to the vmaf-tune ladder orchestration: (V6-1) ladder --duration N was metadata-only (used only for kbps math, never wired into the ffmpeg encode pipe), so a 10-second smoke run against a 9-minute container source re-encoded the full 9 min at every CRF in the sweep — the v6 probe ate ~10 min wall time on a single 3-cell sweep before timing out; (V6-2) cross-resolution ladders against a raw-YUV source failed on every rung whose target differed from the source dims because _decode_source_to_yuv called ffmpeg without input-side -f rawvideo -s SRCWxSRCH -r FR flags — the rawvideo demuxer refused the input and the sampler raised "default sampler produced no scorable encodes"; (V6-3) vmaf-tune ladder returned exit code 0 even when the sampler raised RuntimeError, defeating CI gates and shell-script error handling. Fix: extend EncodeRequest with a duration_s field that build_ffmpeg_command translates to an input-side -t when the caller did NOT opt into sample-clip mode; iter_rows plumbs CorpusJob.duration_s into it. _decode_source_to_yuv gains source_is_raw / source_width / source_height / source_framerate kwargs that synthesise the demuxer-side raw-input block when set; _maybe_decode_reference and iter_rows wire the source geometry through. _run_ladder wraps build_and_emit in try/except and returns 2 on RuntimeError/ValueError/OSError. Pinned by 9 new regression tests covering encoder argv shape, raw-YUV cross-res reference decode, and a subprocess-driven CLI exit-code check. | ADR-0506 | fix/bbb-e2e-v6-bug-cluster-2026-05-18 | PYTHONPATH=tools/vmaf-tune/src python -m pytest tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_bbb_e2e_v6_bug_cluster.py (9 tests, all green) | (last ~3 months) | T-BBB-E2E-V5-CLUSTER-2026-05-18 | BBB end-to-end v5 probe (2026-05-18) surfaced three follow-ups against the v4 fixes: (V5-1) the V4-A integration test was gated on shutil.which("vmaf") and silently skipped on every developer host without the binary on $PATH; the V5 replacement also probes $VMAF_BIN_FOR_TESTS and build/tools/vmaf so the gate fires whenever a built binary is reachable; (V5-2) vmaf-tune ladder against a container source (bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4) produced VMAF in the 4-9 band at a uniform ~50 Mbps regardless of CRF — root cause: corpus.iter_rows never set EncodeRequest.source_is_container=True, so the encode argv builder emitted -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s WxH -i src.mp4, re-interpreting the container's compressed bytes as planar YUV pixels; (V5-3) the v4 emit path used per-target picks (one row per (resolution, target_vmaf) cell) as the JSON samples[] cloud, which dropped every non-winning CRF in the sweep and double-listed any rendition whose target-VMAFs converged on the same CRF. Fix: derive container shape from the source suffix and propagate source_is_container=True, always appending the rung-target scale filter for container sources; extend make_default_sampler and _default_sampler with an optional cloud_sink list that captures every successfully-scored CRF row before pick_target_vmaf collapses the cell; extend build_and_emit with an extra_samples kwarg that supersedes the per-target cloud and runs a new _dedup_samples pass keyed by (width, height, crf). Pinned by 7 new regression tests including a docker exec-driven end-to-end probe against the dev-mcp BBB MP4 corpus. | ADR-0505 | fix/bbb-e2e-v5-bug-cluster-2026-05-18 | PYTHONPATH=tools/vmaf-tune/src python -m pytest tools/vmaf-tune/tests/test_bbb_e2e_v5_bug_cluster.py (7 tests; 1 skipped without vmaf binary, 1 skipped without docker) | (last ~3 months) | T-MCP-PROBE-2026-05-17-CLUSTER | MCP server probe (2026-05-17) surfaced five defects: (1) vmaf_score silently fell back to CPU when caller requested an unavailable backend; (2) tool-schema backend enum dropped vulkan/hip/metal; (3) run_benchmark returned exit_code=1 with empty stdout AND stderr on set -euo pipefail silent abort; (4) ref==dis yields ~97.43 not 100 (documented as vmaf_v0.6.1 model artefact — Netflix golden gate forbids modifying coefficients); (5) vmaf_4k_v0.6.1 on 576×324 saturates at 100 every frame with no warning. Fix: refuse-and-echo backend, schema enum extended, bench wrapper surfaces silent-pipefail with error field + bash -x hint and bench script exits 2 on missing vmaf binary, response gains mismatched_model_warning for resolution-preset disagreement. | ADR-0495 | fix/mcp-probe-findings-2026-05-17 | PYTHONPATH=mcp-server/vmaf-mcp/src python3 -m pytest mcp-server/vmaf-mcp/tests/test_probe_findings_2026_05_17.py (9 tests, all green) | (last ~3 months)
