Merge wai/live-record (#299, with main) into wai/timed-text; captions beside compose and recording
#303 is stacked on #299: this branch now carries main (wai.live.compose, #296) and
wai.live.recording. The same lines conflict as in #299's merge: SPEC §5's live-records
list and paragraphs, REGISTRY's list, wire table and magics, the registry's capability
constants, statuses and wire rows, Cargo features, binaries and tests, the module list,
the live-conformance README, the int_kernels_vectors reason and the independent-verifiers
job. All are kept, compose, recording, then timed text; the three CI steps stay separate.

WAI registry

The registry is the set of strings SPEC §5 registers, with the classes the specification gives each one. Its source of truth is one table in the reference implementation, wai-rs/src/codecs/registry.rs together with the class functions of wai-rs/src/codecs/mod.rs. wai registry export writes it out in machine-readable form:

file what
registry/capabilities.json every registered string with its kind, status, media class, role, fidelity tier, licence class, replicate class, set membership, registering section, edition and registration date, and, for a capability that decodes through the integer operator set, its ops member (integer-operators §11); the named identifiers that are not capabilities; the unregistered labels; the wire identifiers
registry/capabilities.schema.json JSON Schema (2020-12) for that file; its enums are the label sets below
vocab/v2.ttl, vocab/v2.jsonld, vocab/v2.shapes.ttl the same registry as RDF, a JSON-LD context for manifests, and a SHACL shape that checks a manifest's capability and fallback against it, only the form of its media, and its parameter-set pins (vocab/README.md); a violation for a string the registry does not hold means the string is not registered in this revision, not that the envelope fails to conform or cannot be dispatched (SPEC §4, §8)
the table at the end of this file the same registry, for reading

A library test (codecs::registry::tests::registry_export_matches_committed) and a CI step (wai registry export --check in .github/workflows/wai-conformance.yml) fail when a committed file differs from what the table renders. Edit the table, never the exported files.

Kinds

Every registered string has one kind.

  • payload — a capability whose payload a sink decodes: it may be a WAI1 capability or fallback, or a WAI2 rendition.
  • companion — a companion-only capability (SPEC §5, §7.1): its payload is applied with a base rendition and never on its own, so it is only ever a WAI2 companion.
  • refinement — a refinement-only capability (SPEC §5, Refinement capabilities): its payload is applied to the output of the stage below it, bound to that output's producer by content hash, and never decoded on its own. It is a WAI1 capability with refines, or a WAI2 component with role: "refinement" (staged-delivery). The bases each one applies over are SPEC §5's Base admission table, which also holds the bases of the enhancement layer wai.video.lcevc.
  • derivation — an operation of ISO/IEC 23001-16 (wai.derive.*, derived-tracks). It acts on samples another capability decoded and names no payload format.
  • record — a signed record a WAI tool emits and verifies (a receipt kind: wai.asset.provenance, the quantum-operations receipts, the delivery records wai.video.manifest and its siblings; the live records wai.live.events, wai.live.room, wai.capture.take, wai.live.compose and wai.live.recording; timed text, wai.text.timed). It names no payload format.

A derivation or record string is not a payload capability, so it is not dispatchable (SPEC §4): dispatch never takes an envelope's capability that names one, and step 5 may still take a usable fallback. A refinement is not dispatchable either; staged-delivery §4 processes it.

Two further tables hold strings that look like capabilities and are not:

  • identifiers name a part of a capability's definition (wai.det.fixed64, the fixed-point floor; wai.det.amp64, the complex amplitude arithmetic of wai.quantum.circuit2; wai.world.sim.*, the simulation steps of the feed and avatar capabilities);
  • unregistered labels are strings the reference implementation uses as labels that no revision registers, each with the reason.

A third holds the wire identifiers: the names the container, its delivery bindings (http-delivery, moq-streaming-format), the key discovery they serve (jwp-receipts §7), packaging, live-events, live-rooms, capture-binding, live-compose, live-recording and timed-text put on the wire outside a manifest — magic numbers, a media type, codecs prefixes, paths, playlist tags and attributes, document kinds and catalog fields — each with its kind, the section that defines it, and whether it is defined, provisional (test material only until registered) or proposed (not registered). A library test checks that each is written in the section it names.

Status

  • registered — the payload format (for a record or derivation, the definition) is pinned. The WAI-native integer codecs wai.video.int_motion, wai.video.int_hyper, wai.neural.int_hyper, wai.audio.int_codec and wai.splat.int_codec were registered with a decoder and no byte layout (the first, the fourth and the fifth also with the tool that wrote their bitstreams); v0.4.0 completes their registrations by pinning their formats (SPEC §8, Completing a registration; SPEC §5, Payloads of the WAI-native integer codecs). It completes wai.generate.spectral's the same way: registered with its generator, generate.rs, and no byte layout, its payload is now the instruction object of form v0 (SPEC §5, Payload of wai.generate.spectral).
  • candidate — the string is registered but no revision has pinned its payload format. An encoder MUST NOT emit a candidate, and a sink MUST treat it as unsupported (SPEC §5, Candidate capabilities). The reference implementation lists candidates in codecs::is_candidate, reports an envelope that names one from Wai::check_candidates and WaiMulti::check_candidates, and never dispatches or selects one.

Every dispatch and selection function uses one predicate, codecs::is_dispatchable(cap), SPEC §4's dispatchable: false for a companion-only capability, a refinement-only capability, a candidate, a record and a derivation; true for a registered payload capability that is not a candidate, and for a string this revision does not register, which a later MINOR revision may register (SPEC §8) and which a sink decodes only if it advertises it. A new dispatch or selection function MUST use it too.

Editions

A registration that names an edition of its standard carries that edition. A registration that names none carries the edition of its named standard current on the date it was registered, and no later edition or amendment: a later edition or amendment that changes the bitstream gets a capability string of its own (SPEC §8, Editions). The export records both: edition (a designation, or null for the edition current on the registration date) and registered (the date of the first commit of this repository that registers the string; the specification entered the repository on 2026-06-12, so a string registered before then carries that date).

Licence classes

Every payload, companion and refinement capability carries a licence class: royalty-free, patent-pool, proprietary or non-commercial (codecs::capability_license). It is a property of the capability, not a per-file claim. The classification has no default: a capability registered without a class is a registry defect the tests reject. The sources and residual caveats for each class are in research/media-codec-registry.md. A capability whose royalty status is not established is classified conservatively (patent-pool), never royalty-free; a candidate's class is provisional until a revision pins its payload format, since the licensing of a format not yet chosen cannot be established. Every derivation operation carries the class codecs::derivation::derivation_license gives it; a record carries none.

How to register a string

  1. Add the capability constant to wai-rs/src/codecs/mod.rs and, for a payload, companion or refinement capability, list it in known_capabilities() and give it an arm in capability_tier, capability_license and capability_replicate_class (each function has no default, and the tests reject a registered capability without one). A record goes in RECORDS, a derivation in codecs::derivation.
  2. Give it a row in ROWS of wai-rs/src/codecs/registry.rs: the SPEC §5 heading it is registered under, the edition it carries, and the registration date. A string whose payload format is not yet pinned also goes in CANDIDATES.
  3. Register it in SPEC §5, under that heading, with its payload format and role. The test spec_and_registry_name_the_same_strings holds SPEC and the table to the same set of strings, in both directions.
  4. Run cargo run --no-default-features --bin wai -- registry export from wai/wai-rs, and commit the files it writes.
  5. Link it from the codec glossary entry that describes its bitstream, or list it in the glossary's GLOSSARY_NO_ENTRY table with the reason (glossary/SCHEMA.md).
  6. Add a CHANGELOG entry.

Changing what a registered string carries is governed by SPEC §8: a payload format and a role are fixed once registered.
