transition.rs

1//! Transition planning: given a [`Schedule`] and
2//! the current channel-timeline position, what transition happens next, at
3//! what instant, and what timeline-continuity actions it implies.
4//!
5//! Issue [#748](https://github.com/fishloa/rust-broadcast/issues/748)'s
6//! framing: **the hard part is the transition, not the schedule.** Joining
7//! two sources means timeline continuity across the join — a PTS-rebase
8//! offset so the incoming source's own clock lands continuously on the
9//! shared channel timeline (the parameter `transmux`'s IR transform would
10//! consume to actually rewrite sample timestamps — this crate computes the
11//! number, it does not touch sample bytes), plus a discontinuity flag when
12//! the codec configuration changes across the join (the signal
13//! `broadcast_hls::mark_init_discontinuities` would act on downstream). "A
14//! schedule that plays the right thing at the wrong timestamp is worse than
15//! no scheduler" — so [`TransitionPlan`] is the primary thing this crate's
16//! tests hold to timeline-correctness, not the schedule bookkeeping.
