Transaction Science c86b75ac52 The service binaries are wai-relay, wai-room and wai-ingest; the crates keep their names
WAI toolchain decision 11: joule-moq-relay builds wai-relay, joule-moq-room wai-room, and
joule-moq-ingest wai-ingest. wai dev finds them by those names (WAI_RELAY_BIN, WAI_ROOM_BIN),
and the quickstart archive, the release workflow, the examples' workflow, the browser
tests, the interop scripts, the example host script, the Scoop manifest and the crates'
READMEs and example configurations name them so. Wire and record identifiers that carry a
crate's name (joule-moq-relay/session-summary/2, joule-moq-ingest/session/1, the relay's
MOQT implementation string) and the log variables (JOULE_MOQ_*_LOG) are unchanged.

WAI

The wai command line, and the reference software wai dev runs on your own machine. All of it is open source under Apache-2.0, built from the open-standards repository (wai/quickstart/build.sh).

File What it is
bin/wai The command line: hello, create, dev, verify, and the envelope tools (inspect, wrap, unwrap, encode, decode for the mandatory floor, capabilities)
bin/wai-relay The relay a room's media goes through: MOQT over QUIC, WebTransport and WebSocket
bin/wai-room The room service: a room's keys, its grants, its clock
bin/wai-remote-host A remote desktop room's host agent
bin/wai-pack The packager: a title as WAI objects, HTTP playlists and a MoQ catalog
share/wai/web/ The room client a browser loads: its pages and their WebAssembly

Start

wai hello                                   # WAI's four steps on a sample: name, dispatch, rebuild, receipt
wai create my-room --template video-room    # a video room in one page
cd my-room
wai dev                                     # the relay, the room service and your page, on 127.0.0.1:8080
wai verify ../wai-hello                     # the receipts hello wrote, checked offline

wai create --list names every template. wai dev --help gives its options. Nothing here needs an account, and nothing is sent off your machine.

Keep bin/ and share/ side by side: wai dev finds the relay, the room service and the room client beside itself.
