Slice 1 — WebRTC Media Loopback Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Stand up the Rutster Rust workspace and implement spearhead step 1 — a browser talks WebRTC to the core; the core terminates DTLS-SRTP, decodes Opus → canonical 16-bit PCM @ 24 kHz mono, echoes the PCM back to the browser. The user speaks and hears themselves back with no perceptible delay.

Architecture: Fused per-call vertical (ADR-0002) with a Cargo workspace of one binary + five library crates shaped to ADR-0002's fused vertical (rutster, rutster-media, rutster-call-model, rutster-signaling-sip, rutster-tap, rutster-spend). Media is driven by str0m (sans-IO WebRTC) + opus crate (libopus FFI) on tokio polls (an explicit, scoped deviation from ARCHITECTURE.md's "dedicated thread" mandate — step 4 replaces it). RtcSession owns a str0m::Rtc + an Opus encoder/decoder pair + an EchoAudioPipe. The PCM-tap seam is exposed as AudioSource / AudioSink traits in rutster-media.

Tech Stack: Rust stable (pinned via rust-toolchain.toml), str0m 0.21 (sans-IO WebRTC, Frame API), opus 0.3.1 (libopus FFI), axum 0.7, tokio 1, dashmap 6, uuid 1, thiserror 1, tracing 0.1, serde 1, tower 0.5 (integration test only — ServiceExt::oneshot on the axum Router), cargo-deny.

Global Constraints

Binding values for every task — copy verbatim where used.

• License: every crate manifest sets license = "GPL-3.0-or-later" (ADR-0004). Reuse the SPDX expression string "GPL-3.0-or-later".
• Workspace: root Cargo.toml is [workspace], with [workspace.dependencies] pinning every shared dependency version (spec §2.1). Member crates reference with dep.workspace = true.
• Workspace members (exactly these six, names verbatim): crates/rutster (binary), crates/rutster-media, crates/rutster-call-model, crates/rutster-signaling-sip, crates/rutster-tap, crates/rutster-spend.
• Stub-crate policy (spec §2.2): rutster-signaling-sip, rutster-tap, rutster-spend ship as lib.rs with a //! module doc comment (what the crate will hold, why deferred, which spearhead step fills it in) + a #[cfg(test)] mod tests { #[test] fn crate_compiles() {} } test. No anticipatory code.
• Dependency direction (spec §2.3): rutster → {rutster-media, rutster-call-model}; rutster-media → rutster-call-model; rutster-call-model is a leaf; the three stub crates depend on nothing in the workspace in slice 1.
• PCM format (spec §3.1, §3.9, ARCHITECTURE.md): 16-bit signed mono, 24 kHz, fixed 20 ms frame = 480 samples. PcmFrame lives in rutster-media (single canonical home; rutster-tap re-exports in step 2).
• str0m API (verified against str0m 0.21 docs.rs):
  • Rtc::new(start: Instant) -> Self — takes an Instant, NOT argless. Or use RtcConfig::new().build(Instant) for non-default config.
  • SDP: let parsed_offer = str0m::change::SdpOffer::from_sdp_string(offer_str)?; (there is NO from_str_unchecked — from_sdp_string is the entry point, returns Result<SdpOffer, SdpError>).
  • Then let answer: SdpAnswer = rtc.sdp_api().accept_offer(parsed_offer)?; — accept_offer takes the owned SdpOffer, returns Result<SdpAnswer, RtcError>. rtc.sdp_api() borrows rtc; call is let answer = rtc.sdp_api().accept_offer(offer)?.
  • answer.to_string() renders the SDP answer text.
  • Rtc::add_local_candidate(&mut self, c: Candidate) -> Option<&Candidate> — returns Some(&Candidate) if accepted, None otherwise. Pass the candidate BEFORE accept_offer so it appears in the answer.
  • Candidate::host(addr: SocketAddr, proto: impl TryInto<Protocol>) -> Result<Candidate, IceError> — "udp" literal works because &str: TryInto<Protocol>.
  • Inbound audio events arrive via the Frame API as Event::MediaData(MediaData). MediaData.data: Arc<[u8]> is the encoded Opus payload (NOT Vec<u8> — it's an atomically-refcounted boxed slice; pass &media.data[..] to the decoder).
  • Outbound: let writer: Option<Writer<'_>> = rtc.writer(mid); (returns Option, not Result — None if direction isn't sending). Then writer.write(pt, wallclock, rtp_time, data) where:
    • pt: Pt — payload type. Get it from writer.match_params(&incoming_params) -> Option<Pt> (recommended — matches the incoming payload params) OR writer.payload_params() returns impl Iterator<Item = &PayloadParams>, then params.pt() accessor.
    • wallclock: Instant — when the sample was produced (use local now).
    • rtp_time: MediaTime — RTP timestamp. Field name is rtp_time (NOT media_time). Increment for next 20 ms Opus frame at 48 kHz = + MediaTime::from(Duration::from_millis(20)) — use mt + MediaTime::from(duration) (there is NO MediaTime::add(Duration) method; use Add/AddAssign with MediaTime::from(Duration)).
    • data: impl Into<Arc<[u8]>> — pass &opus_bytes[..] or Vec<u8> (both convert).
    • Returns Result<(), RtcError>.
  • MediaTime::ZERO constant exists (pub const ZERO: MediaTime).
  • Poll loop invariant: mutate → drain poll_output() to Output::Timeout(t) → mutate again. str0m has NO Live struct — Rtc is the driver.
• str0m ICE candidates (spec §3.7): Add local host candidates via Candidate::host(addr, "udp"). ICE public surface at str0m:: root (no str0m::ice module): Candidate, CandidateKind, IceCreds, IceConnectionState.
• opus crate API (verified against opus 0.3.1): opus::Decoder::new(24000, opus::Channels::Mono), opus::Encoder::new(24000, opus::Channels::Mono, opus::Application::Voip). decoder.decode(&op[..], &mut pcm[..480], /*fec*/ false) -> Result<usize> (returns samples-per-channel decoded). encoder.encode_vec(&pcm[..480], /*max_size*/ 4000) -> Result<Vec<u8>>. 480 = samples per 20 ms at 24 kHz mono.
• opus system dependency: the opus crate (via audiopus_sys) links system libopus. Build prerequisite: libopus-dev (Debian/Ubuntu) or opus-devel (Fedora) installed. Documented in README.md dev-loop section, with the PORT_PLAN §7 rationale ("🦀 Core (FFI)"). Spec §6.3's "no external deps beyond Rust" is amended by this FFI exception —iber note this in the learner comments.
• Hot-path error policy (spec §3.8, AGENTS.md): the 20 ms media loop never uses ?. Match-and-continue. A decode/encode failure is logged + counted (via a minimal counter), the packet is dropped, and the peer is NOT terminated. Cold paths (signaling, setup) use thiserror-derived enums and ? liberally.
• Code documentation (spec §7, AGENTS.md): override the default "no comments" convention. //! module docs at the top of every lib.rs/main.rs/sub-module. /// on every public item. // inline comments on mechanism (why Arc<Mutex<...>> vs Arc<RwLock<...>>, why Pin<Box<dyn Future>>, etc.). str0m interactions get an explanatory comment. First occurrence of each non-obvious Rust pattern gets a "why this pattern" comment.
• Deviation comment (spec §3.4): the tokio poll loop in rutster-media/src/loop_driver.rs carries this verbatim comment: // DEV-DEVIATION: tokio polling accepted for slice 1; step 4 replaces with dedicated timing thread per ARCHITECTURE.md.
• HTTP surface (spec §4.1, §4.3): axum on 0.0.0.0:8080, plaintext (no TLS — out of scope). Four routes: POST /v1/sessions → { "session_id": "<uuid>" }; POST /v1/sessions/:id/offer (Content-Type: application/sdp request+response); DELETE /v1/sessions/:id; GET / → static HTML.
• Non-trickle ICE (spec §4.2): one POST on /offer carries browser offer+candidates, response carries core answer+candidates, no separate /ice endpoint.
• Session store (spec §4.5): DashMap<ChannelId, RtcSession> in the binary crate. ChannelId is a UUID newtype from rutster-call-model and IS the session id.
• Idle timeout (spec §4.5): 60 s of no RTP packets received → close the session. Implemented as a per-session deadline checked on each poll cycle. No per-session tokio task.
• Graceful shutdown (spec §4.5): tokio signal handler drops the DashMap on Ctrl-C/SIGTERM.
• Slice-1 out-of-scope (spec §1.2, AGENTS.md): the dedicated timing thread, TLS, authn/authz, trickle ICE, the tap itself, the brain, barge-in/VAD, PSTN trunk, spend cap, CDR/event bus, transfer/park/pickup, browser automation, latency benchmark harness, fuzz harnesses are ALL deferred. Adding any of them NOW breaks the spearhead sequencing. spot-check a finding against this list before treating it as a real gap.
• CI gates (spec §6.2): cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -- -D warnings, cargo test --all, cargo deny check. CI runs on push + PR to main. Matrix: latest stable + the MSRV pinned in rust-toolchain.toml.
• cargo-deny config (spec §6.1): allow GPL-3.0-or-later, MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD-3-Clause, ISC, Zlib, Unicode-DFS-2016, Unicode-3.0. deny warnings on advisories. Duplicate-version bans on tokio, serde, bytes, tracing. Sources: crates-io only.
• Task / PR strategy: tasks 1–7 are sequentially dependent (1 must land before 2; 2 before 3; 3 before 4; 4 before 5; 6 and 7 can run in parallel with each other after Task 5 lands). Each task's "Commit" step is one commit on main (or one PR merging to main if branch protection is on). Each task is independently shippable + green (tests pass after each commit). Merge in numeric order. Do NOT batch multiple tasks into one commit — the granular history is a load-bearing artifact for the learning-codebase goal (spec §7). If using the executing-plans skill rather than subagent-driven-development, still emit one commit per task; the plan's commit messages are written for that shape.

Task 1: Workspace scaffold + three stub crates

Files:

• Create: Cargo.toml (root workspace manifest)
• Create: rust-toolchain.toml
• Create: crates/rutster-signaling-sip/Cargo.toml
• Create: crates/rutster-signaling-sip/src/lib.rs
• Create: crates/rutster-tap/Cargo.toml
• Create: crates/rutster-tap/src/lib.rs
• Create: crates/rutster-spend/Cargo.toml
• Create: crates/rutster-spend/src/lib.rs
• Test: each stub crate's crate_compiles test.

Interfaces:

• Consumes: nothing (this is the foundation).
• Produces: a compiling Cargo workspace with three stub crates. Later tasks add the real member crates (rutster, rutster-media, rutster-call-model) by appending to the members array — Task 1 leaves members listing only the three stubs, and Task 2/3/4/5 each extend it.

Note on the members array: start with only the three stub crates listed in members. Each subsequent task's "Step N: extend workspace" appends its new crate path to this array. Do NOT pre-list crates/rutster* with a glob — strip the glob and use an explicit list so a half-built crate never breaks cargo metadata.

• Step 1: Write the root Cargo.toml

# Cargo.toml — rutster workspace root.
# Spec ref: slice-1 §2. The workspace pins shared dep versions here so
# member crates can't drift (§2.1). Each member references with
# `dep.workspace = true`.
[workspace]
resolver = "2"
members = [
    "crates/rutster-signaling-sip",
    "crates/rutster-tap",
    "crates/rutster-spend",
]

[workspace.package]
license = "GPL-3.0-or-later"
edition = "2021"
repository = "https://github.com/anomalyco/rutster"

# Pinned versions for all member crates. References are `foo.workspace = true`
# in the member manifest. Keeps the dep tree unified (§2.1).
[workspace.dependencies]
# str0m 0.21: sans-IO WebRTC. Frame API (Event::MediaData + Writer::write).
str0m = "0.21"
# opus 0.3.1: libopus FFI (system libopus required — see README).
opus = "0.3"
# axum 0.7: HTTP signaling surface.
axum = { version = "0.7", features = ["macros"] }
# tokio 1: runtime driving the str0m poll loop (slice-1 deviation per §3.4).
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
# dashmap 6: in-process session store.
dashmap = "6"
# uuid 1: ChannelId newtype backing.
uuid = { version = "1", features = ["v4"] }
thiserror = "1"
tracing = "0.1"
tracing-subscriber = { version = "0.3", features = ["env-filter"] }
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1"
# tower: used by the binary crate's integration tests (ServiceExt::oneshot
# on the axum Router). Axum re-exports parts of tower but the integration test
# uses `tower::ServiceExt` directly, so it needs to be a workspace dep.
tower = { version = "0.5", features = ["util"] }

• Step 2: Write rust-toolchain.toml

Pin stable (currently 1.85 as of writing — bumped from 1.80 because uuid 1.x → getrandom 0.4.x requires Rust edition = "2024", stabilized in 1.85. Confirm the latest stable at impl time with rustc --version). The MSRV is the edition-2024 floor; the CI matrix (Task 6) tests stable + MSRV.

# rust-toolchain.toml — pins the toolchain for reproducible builds.
[toolchain]
channel = "1.85"
components = ["rustfmt", "clippy"]

• Step 3: Write crates/rutster-signaling-sip/Cargo.toml

# crates/rutster-signaling-sip/Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "rutster-signaling-sip"
version = "0.0.0"
license.workspace = true
edition.workspace = true
repository.workspace = true
description = "Rust-native trunk SIP — stub crate (filled in spearhead step 5)."

• Step 4: Write crates/rutster-signaling-sip/src/lib.rs

//! # rutster-signaling-sip
//!
//! **Status:** stub. Fills in at spearhead step 5 (PSTN trunk).
//!
//! This crate will hold the Rust-native trunk SIP stack: the SIP parser,
//! transaction layer, dialog state, and the carrier trunk integration. See
//! [ADR-0003](../../../docs/adr/0003-sip-rust-native-trunk.md) for the
//! "own the parser from day one" thesis and [PORT_PLAN §1](../../../docs/PORT_PLAN.md)
//! for the surface area (`res_pjsip_session`, `chan_sip`, `_sdp_rtp` rows).
//!
//! Slice 1's WebRTC-only ingress needs no SIP — this stub exists to lock the
//! crate boundary without anticipating code (spec §2.2). It depends on
//! nothing in the workspace in slice 1. Its future dependency direction is
//! `rutster-signaling-sip` → `rutster-call-model` + `rutster-media` (once
//! the SDP help lives here, moved out of `rutster-media`'s WebRTC-ICE-coupled
//! SDP module — see §3.7 of the slice-1 spec for the split rationale).

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    /// Stub crates lock boundaries; the compile-test is the lock.
    #[test]
    fn crate_compiles() {}
}

• Step 5: Write crates/rutster-tap/Cargo.toml

# crates/rutster-tap/Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "rutster-tap"
version = "0.0.0"
license.workspace = true
edition.workspace = true
repository.workspace = true
description = "Agent audio tap — stub crate (filled in spearhead step 2)."

• Step 6: Write crates/rutster-tap/src/lib.rs

//! # rutster-tap
//!
//! **Status:** stub. Fills in at spearhead step 2 (the tap itself).
//!
//! Slice 1 *pre-paves* the tap by exposing the canonical PCM boundary as
//! the `AudioSource` / `AudioSink` traits in [`rutster_media`](../rutster-media/index.html),
//! and wires an `EchoAudioPipe` between sink and source. Step 2 swaps that
//! pipe for a real WSS tap client (core-as-client, brain-as-server —
//! [ADR-0006](../../../docs/adr/0006-ingress-posture.md)). No code changes to
//! `RtcSession` itself in step 2 — that's the test of the seam.
//!
//! This crate will, when filled in, re-export `PcmFrame` from
//! `rutster-media` (one canonical home — spec §3.1) and ship the WSS
//! tap client + the versioned framing protocol. It depends on nothing
//! in the workspace in slice 1.

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    #[test]
    fn crate_compiles() {}
}

• Step 7: Write crates/rutster-spend/Cargo.toml

# crates/rutster-spend/Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "rutster-spend"
version = "0.0.0"
license.workspace = true
edition.workspace = true
repository.workspace = true
description = "In-boundary spend / abuse gate — stub crate (filled in spearhead step 6)."

• Step 8: Write crates/rutster-spend/src/lib.rs

//! # rutster-spend
//!
//! **Status:** stub. Fills in at spearhead step 6 (spend cap / abuse gate).
//!
//! In-boundary spend and abuse control is constitutive of the wedge
//! ([ADR-0002](../../../docs/adr/0002-north-star-and-fused-core.md)): the
//! runaway brain structurally cannot exceed spend or pacing because it
//! doesn't hold the wire — the trunk termination + spend gate do, in one
//! boundary. Pulling spend out into a service re-introduces the 3-vendor
//! structural hole the fused vertical was chosen to eliminate.
//!
//! This crate will hold: spend caps, pacing caps, deny-by-default routing,
//! rate-limits, toll-fraud pattern detection — co-located with trunk
//! termination in `rutster-signaling-sip` (step 5). Depends on nothing in
//! the workspace in slice 1.

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    #[test]
    fn crate_compiles() {}
}

• Step 9: Run cargo check to verify the workspace compiles

Run: cargo check --all Expected: 3 stub crates compile cleanly; no warnings.

• Step 10: Run cargo test --all to verify the stub tests pass

Run: cargo test --all Expected: 3 tests, all passing (crate_compiles in each stub).

• Step 11: Commit

git add Cargo.toml rust-toolchain.toml crates/rutster-signaling-sip crates/rutster-tap crates/rutster-spend
git commit -m "workspace: scaffold + three stub crates (sip/tap/spend)

Workspace root, pinned toolchain, and the three stub crates whose only
job in slice 1 is to lock the ADR-0002 boundary shape. Each ships a
lib.rs module doc (what it will hold, why deferred, which spearhead step
fills it) and a crate_compiles test. Spec §2.2."

---

Task 2: rutster-call-model — the Channel embryo

Files:

• Create: crates/rutster-call-model/Cargo.toml
• Create: crates/rutster-call-model/src/lib.rs
• Modify: Cargo.toml (workspace root — add the new member to members).

Interfaces:

• Consumes: nothing in the workspace (leaf crate, spec §5.3).

• Produces: Channel, ChannelId, ChannelState, Direction. ChannelId is a Uuid newtype (spec §5.1) — it IS the session id surfaced in the REST API (spec §4.5). ChannelState is New | Connecting | Connected | Closing | Closed (spec §5.1, §5.4). Direction is Inbound only in slice 1.

• Step 1: Write the failing test for ChannelId newtype

Add to crates/rutster-call-model/src/lib.rs (write the whole file with lib.rs containing the test first; that's allowed — TDD writes the test before the impl, not necessarily in a separate file).

//! # rutster-call-model
//!
//! The unifying leg object: a `Channel` is one peer / one leg, the object
//! the future API will model (PORT_PLAN §3 — "the unifying leg object").
//! Building a throwaway `LoopbackPeer` for slice 1 and refactoring it
//! later is the exact failure mode the design rules warn against, so the
//! slice-1 peer *is* a `Channel` (spec §5.2).
//!
//! Slice 1 ships the signaling-state embryo only (spec §5.4). Media state
//! is internal to `rutster-media`; the split — "Channel = signaling state;
//! media = leaf concern" — matches ARCHITECTURE.md's "call model as the
//! unifying object." Media state moves UP into the `Channel` only when a
//! second consumer (the API, the tap, an audiohook) needs to observe it.

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    /// ChannelId must be a newtype around Uuid, NOT a bare Uuid — the
    /// newtype pattern prevents us from mixing up a ChannelId with some
    /// future SessionId at the type-system level. The compiler enforces
    /// what a comment can only ask for.
    #[test]
    fn channel_id_is_a_newtype() {
        let id = ChannelId::new();
        // Newtype wraps Uuid; we can reach the inner id but the outer
        // type is what the API surface speaks in.
        let _inner: Uuid = id.0;
        assert_eq!(format!("{}", id.0).len(), 36); // canonical UUID v4 length
    }

    #[test]
    fn channel_starts_in_new_state() {
        let ch = Channel::new_inbound();
        assert_eq!(ch.state, ChannelState::New);
        assert_eq!(ch.direction, Direction::Inbound);
    }

    #[test]
    fn channel_state_transitions_match_spec_5_4() {
        let mut ch = Channel::new_inbound();
        assert_eq!(ch.state, ChannelState::New);
        ch.state = ChannelState::Connecting;
        ch.state = ChannelState::Connected;
        ch.state = ChannelState::Closing;
        ch.state = ChannelState::Closed;
    }
}

This will NOT compile yet — Channel, ChannelId, ChannelState, Direction, Uuuid, Channel::new_inbound are not defined.

• Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails

Run: cargo test -p rutster-call-model Expected: FAIL with compile errors (cannot find type ChannelId, etc).

• Step 3: Write crates/rutster-call-model/Cargo.toml

# crates/rutster-call-model/Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "rutster-call-model"
version = "0.0.0"
license.workspace = true
edition.workspace = true
repository.workspace = true
description = "The Channel / leg object embryo (signaling-state only in slice 1)."

[dependencies]
uuid = { workspace = true }

[dev-dependencies]

• Step 4: Implement the types in crates/rutster-call-model/src/lib.rs

Append the implementation block AFTER the #[cfg(test)] mod tests block written in Step 1 (the test block stays at the top — that's the pattern from writing-plans: test first, then make it compile).

use std::time::Instant;
use uuid::Uuid;

/// Newtype wrapping a `Uuid` for the channel id.
///
/// # Why a newtype (not a bare `Uuid`?)
/// Newtypes give zero-cost type safety. If we used bare `Uuid` everywhere,
/// nothing in the type system would stop us from passing a `SessionId`
/// into a function expecting a `ChannelId`. With `ChannelId(Uuid)`, the
/// compiler rejects that mixup at the call site. The pattern is taught
/// in the Rust Book's "Using the Newtype Pattern for Type Safety and
/// Abstraction" section — `ChannelId` is the slice-1 worked example.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)]
pub struct ChannelId(pub Uuid);

impl ChannelId {
    /// Mint a fresh `ChannelId`. Slice 1 uses UUID v4 — opaque, random,
    /// no coordination. A future multi-tenant deployment would scope by
    /// tenant prefix; that lands with authz (step 6).
    pub fn new() -> Self {
        Self(Uuid::new_v4())
    }
}

impl Default for ChannelId {
    fn default() -> Self {
        Self::new()
    }
}

impl std::fmt::Display for ChannelId {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
        write!(f, "{}", self.0)
    }
}

/// Signaling state machine for a `Channel` (spec §5.4, slice 1).
///
/// `New → Connecting → Connected → Closing → Closed`
///
/// # Why an enum (not a struct with a `kind: &str` field?)
/// Enums model a closed set of states; exhaustiveness checking forces
/// every `match` to consider each state explicitly. When step 4 adds

• Step 5: Add crates/rutster-call-model to the workspace members

Modify root Cargo.toml — append the new member to the members array:

members = [
    "crates/rutster-call-model",
    "crates/rutster-signaling-sip",
    "crates/rutster-tap",
    "crates/rutster-spend",
]

• Step 6: Run the tests to verify they pass

Run: cargo test -p rutster-call-model Expected: 3 tests passing (channel_id_is_a_newtype, channel_starts_in_new_state, channel_state_transitions_match_spec_5_4).

• Step 7: Run clippy + fmt across the workspace

Run: cargo fmt --check && cargo clippy --all -- -D warnings Expected: no formatting drift, no warnings.

• Step 8: Commit

git add Cargo.toml crates/rutster-call-model
git commit -m "call-model: Channel + ChannelId + ChannelState (signaling embryo)

rutster-call-model is real-but-minimal (spec §5): the unifying leg
object the future API exposes. ChannelId is a Uuid newtype for
type-safety (the slice-1 worked example of the newtype pattern).
Channel is signaling-state only — media lives in rutster-media as a
leaf concern of the Channel, surfaced only when a second consumer needs
to observe it (spec §5.3). ChannelState matches the New→Connecting→
Connected→Closing→Closed flow from §5.4."

Task 3: rutster-media — PCM frame, tap seam traits, Opus codec pair

Files:

• Create: crates/rutster-media/Cargo.toml
• Create: crates/rutster-media/src/lib.rs (module docs + error enum + re-exports)
• Create: crates/rutster-media/src/pcm.rs (PcmFrame, AudioSource, AudioSink, EchoAudioPipe)
• Create: crates/rutster-media/src/opus_codec.rs (OpusDecoder, OpusEncoder)
• Modify: Cargo.toml (workspace root — add member).

Interfaces:

• Consumes: ChannelId, Channel from Task 2's rutster-call-model.

• Produces:

  • PcmFrame — the canonical 480-sample i16 mono @ 24 kHz frame (spec §3.1, §3.9).
  • AudioSource / AudioSink traits (spec §3.3) — the seam step 2 splices the tap into.
  • EchoAudioPipe — implements both traits; slice-1 wiring (spec §3.3).
  • OpusDecoder::decode(&[u8]) -> Option<PcmFrame> / OpusEncoder::encode(&PcmFrame) -> Option<Vec<u8>> — hot-path match-and-continue, no ?.

• Step 1: Write crates/rutster-media/Cargo.toml

Create crates/rutster-media/src/pcm.rs with tests first, no impl yet:

//! # PCM frame + tap seam (spec §3.3)
//!
//! The canonical tap format from ARCHITECTURE.md: 16-bit signed mono PCM
//! @ 24 kHz, fixed 20 ms = 480 samples. The single format every future
//! brain/tap consumer speaks. Lives in `rutster-media` (spec §3.1);
//! `rutster-tap` re-exports it in step 2 (single canonical home).

//! # rutster-media
//!
//! The media core: str0m WebRTC termination + the Opus⇄PCM boundary
//! (spec §3). One per WebRTC peer; a `RtcSession` owns a `str0m::Rtc`
//! instance + an Opus encoder/decoder pair + an `EchoAudioPipe`
//! wiring the inbound decode path to the outbound encode path.
//!
//! ## Architecture references
//!
//! - [slice-1 spec §3](../../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-28-slice-1-webrtc-loopback-design.md)
//!   — full media-core design.
//! - [ARCHITECTURE.md](../../../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) — fused per-call
//!   vertical; the tap is the central interface; PCM tap format.
//! - [ADR-0002](../../../docs/adr/0002-north-star-and-fused-core.md) —
//!   fused vertical + the in-boundary spend gate.
//!
//! ## Error handling posture (spec §3.8)
//!
//! Cold path (RTc construction, codec init): `thiserror`-derived errors + `?`.
//! Hot path (the 20 ms loop): **never** `?`. Match-and-continue. A
//! dropped packet MUST NOT terminate the peer. Policy: "drop + observe
//! (log + counter), don't crash." This is the posture the eventual fuzz
//! harness (step 5) will test against.
//!
//! ## Module map
//!
//! - [`pcm`] — `PcmFrame` + `AudioSource`/`AudioSink` traits (the tap
//!   seam) + `EchoAudioPipe` (slice-1 wiring).
//! - [`opus_codec`] — `OpusDecoder`/`OpusEncoder` wrappers.
//! - [`loop_driver`] (Task 4) — the str0m poll loop on tokio.
//! - [`rtc_session`] (Task 4) — `RtcSession`, the per-peer owner.

• Step 10: Add crates/rutster-media to the workspace members

• Step 11: Run the full test suite

Run: cargo test -p rutster-media Expected: all pcm::tests + opus_codec::tests passing.

• Step 12: Run clippy + fmt

Run: cargo fmt --check && cargo clippy -p rutster-media -- -D warnings Expected: clean.

• Step 13: Commit

git add Cargo.toml crates/rutster-media
git commit -m "media: PcmFrame + AudioSource/Sink + Opus codec pair

Task 4: RtcSession + str0m poll loop (the media core's heart)

Files:

• Create: crates/rutster-media/src/rtc_session.rs
• Create: crates/rutster-media/src/loop_driver.rs
• Modify: crates/rutster-media/src/lib.rs (declare the new modules + re-exports).
• Modify: crates/rutster-media/Cargo.toml (add str0m dep).

Interfaces:

• Consumes: PcmFrame, AudioSource, AudioSink, EchoAudioPipe, OpusDecoder, OpusEncoder from Task 3; Channel, ChannelId, ChannelState from Task 2.

• Produces:

  • RtcSession — owns str0m::Rtc + Channel + OpusDecoder + OpusEncoder + EchoAudioPipe + a UDP socket (std::net::UdpSocket, driven by tokio) + idle-deadline bookkeeping (spec §4.5).
  • RtcSession::accept_offer(sdp_offer: &str) -> Result<String, RtcSessionError> — drives str0m's sdp_api().accept_offer(), returns the SDP answer (with DTLS fingerprint + ICE creds + Opus codec, all native to str0m 0.21 — NO hand-rolled SDP munger).
  • RtcSession::run_poll_once(now: Instant) -> Option<Duration> — one iteration of the sans-IO poll loop; returns the next timeout. The binary's tokio task loops this. (Slice-1 deviation: the loop is on tokio, not a dedicated thread — spec §3.4.)
  • RtcSession::channel_id() -> ChannelId.
  • RtcSession::is_closed() -> bool.

• Step 1: Update crates/rutster-media/Cargo.toml to add str0m

[dependencies]
rutster-call-model = { path = "../rutster-call-model" }
opus = { workspace = true }
str0m = { workspace = true }
thiserror = { workspace = true }
tracing = { workspace = true }

• Step 2: Declare the new modules in crates/rutster-media/src/lib.rs

Edit the lib.rs written in Task 3 — replace its module map with the populated version. The implementation block at the bottom stays; only the module declarations + re-exports change:

pub mod loop_driver;
pub mod opus_codec;
pub mod pcm;
pub mod rtc_session;

pub use opus_codec::{OpusDecoder, OpusEncoder};
pub use pcm::{AudioSink, AudioSource, EchoAudioPipe, PcmFrame, SAMPLES_PER_FRAME};
pub use rtc_session::{RtcSession, RtcSessionError};

(Keep the rest of the lib.rs from Task 3 — the MediaError enum + module docs — unchanged.)

• Step 3: Write the failing test for RtcSession::accept_offer

Create crates/rutster-media/src/rtc_session.rs with tests first. The real-browser-offer fixture (a full SDP from a browser) is captured in a test constant; the test verifies accept_offer produces a valid SDP answer containing an Opus payload type and a DTLS fingerprint.

//! # `RtcSession` — the per-peer media owner (spec §3.1, §4.5)
//!
//! Owns a `str0m::Rtc` instance + an Opus decoder/encoder pair + an
//! `EchoAudioPipe` wiring inbound to outbound + the per-peer UDP socket.
//! One per WebRTC peer. The `ChannelId` (from `rutster-call-model`) is
//! the session id surfaced in the REST API.
//!
//! ## What str0m does for us (so we don't)
//!
//! str0m 0.21's `Rtc::sdp_api().accept_offer(offer)` produces the SDP
//! answer natively: DTLS fingerprint (from the cert str0m generates), ICE
//! ufrag/pwd, and codec negotiation (Opus, the only codec we registered).
//! Slice 1 does NOT hand-roll an SDP munger — str0m's path is the spec's
//! "embryo of the future SIP SDP path" (§3.7). When step 5 brings SIP/SDP
//! negotiation into `rutster-signaling-sip`, that crate may extract shared
//! SDP helpers from str0m or build its own. Slice 1's WebRTC-ICE-coupled
//! SDP lives entirely in str0m.

• Step 6: Write crates/rutster-media/src/loop_driver.rs (the str0m poll loop)

//! # str0m poll loop (spec §3.2, §3.4)
//!
//! The heart of the media core. Drives the `str0m::Rtc` instance forward
//! on each call: drains `poll_output()` until `Output::Timeout`, handling
//! each `Output::Transmit` (send on our UDP socket) and `Output::Event`
//! (inbound `MediaData` → Opus decode → sink; inbound RTP count for the
//! idle timeout). When the drain returns `Timeout`, the caller sleeps
//! that duration and calls back with `Input::Timeout`.
//!
//! # Why this lives in a separate module
//!
//! `run_poll_once` takes `&mut RtcSession` — a single function with
//! the full poll logic would make `RtcSession::run_poll_once` 100+ lines
//! of non-trivial control flow. Splitting the loop into a module makes
//! the sans-IO pattern obvious: the loop driver takes a `&mut RtcSession`,
//! reads str0m outputs, and writes str0m inputs. Nothing else.
//!
//! # DEV-DEVIATION
//!
//! Slice 1 runs the poll on a tokio task. ARCHITECTURE.md mandates a
//! dedicated timing thread; we defer that to step 4 (barge-in) because
//! slice 1 has no reflex to time against. The poll function's shape
//! (single `&mut self`, no I/O inside) makes the step-4 swap localized.

• Step 7: Run the str0m-offer test to verify the API wiring

Run: cargo test -p rutster-media rtc_session::tests::accept_offer_returns_sdp_answer_with_opus Expected: PASS (str0m accepts the offer, returns an SDP answer with Opus + DTLS fingerprint + ICE creds).

NOTES FOR THE IMPLEMENTER (residual verifications post-review):

• SdpAnswer::mid() — the plan assumes this accessor exists on str0m's SdpAnswer. If str0m 0.21 exposes a different API (e.g. answer.mids().next() or via a CodecConfig lookup), adjust to use whatever str0m 0.21 ships. Run cargo doc -p str0m --open and look at SdpAnswer.

• PayloadParams::pt() — the plan assumes payload_params().next().unwrap().pt() works. If Pt is exposed differently (e.g. via match_params(incoming)), use that instead. The recommended path per str0m 0.21 docs is writer.match_params(¶ms) -> Option<Pt> where params is the inbound MediaData.params — this matches the incoming payload to the negotiated outbound PT. For slice 1 (echo loopback, single codec), the simpler payload_params().next() path works; match_params is the general path when multiple codecs are negotiated.

• media.data: Arc<[u8]> — pass &media.data (deref coercion) to OpusDecoder::decode(&[u8]).

• The plan's str0m API claims were verified against docs.rs/str0m/0.21 during the adversarial review. Don't hand-roll an SDP munger; honor the mutate → drain to Timeout → mutate invariant; keep the hot-path match-and-continue policy on the 20 ms loop.

• Step 8: Fix clippy + fmt

Run: cargo fmt && cargo clippy -p rutster-media -- -D warnings Expected: clean. If str0m's API types don't line up with the plan's sketches, fix the import paths to satisfy the compiler; do NOT add an SDP munger or change the loop structure.

• Step 9: Commit

git add crates/rutster-media
git commit -m "media: RtcSession + str0m poll loop (the media core)

RtcSession owns a str0m::Rtc + Opus decoder/encoder + EchoAudioPipe +
a bound UDP socket (spec §3.1, §4.5). accept_offer calls str0m 0.21's
sdp_api().accept_offer() natively — no hand-rolled SDP munger; str0m
fills DTLS fingerprint + ICE creds + Opus codec. The loop driver
drains poll_output per str0m's single-mutation invariant, routes
inbound MediaData through Opus decode + EchoAudioPipe sink, sends
Transmit packets on the UDP socket, and checks the 60 s idle timeout.

DEV-DEVIATION: loop runs on tokio (spec §3.4); step 4 replaces with
a dedicated timing thread per ARCHITECTURE.md."

Task 5: rutster binary — axum signaling server + browser client + integration test

Files:

• Create: crates/rutster/Cargo.toml
• Create: crates/rutster/src/main.rs (axum server bootstrap + graceful shutdown)
• Create: crates/rutster/src/session_map.rs (DashMap<ChannelId, RtcSession> + poll driver)
• Create: crates/rutster/src/routes.rs (the four HTTP routes)
• Create: crates/rutster/static/index.html (browser test client)
• Create: crates/rutster/tests/api_integration.rs (integration test: POST /v1/sessions roundtrip)
• Modify: Cargo.toml (workspace root — add member).

Interfaces:

• Consumes: RtcSession, RtcSessionError, ChannelId from Tasks 2/4.

• Produces: a running axum server on 0.0.0.0:8080 with four routes (spec §4.1), a tokio task per active session driving the str0m poll loop, a static browser test client served at GET /, an integration test that hits the API.

• Step 1: Write crates/rutster/Cargo.toml

# crates/rutster/Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "rutster"
version = "0.0.0"
license.workspace = true
edition.workspace = true
repository.workspace = true
description = "Rutster binary: axum signaling + media driver + static browser test client (slice 1)."

[dependencies]
rutster-call-model = { path = "../rutster-call-model" }
rutster-media = { path = "../rutster-media" }
axum = { workspace = true }
tokio = { workspace = true }
dashmap = { workspace = true }
uuid = { workspace = true }
thiserror = { workspace = true }
tracing = { workspace = true }
tracing-subscriber = { workspace = true }
serde = { workspace = true }
serde_json = { workspace = true }

[dev-dependencies]
tower = { workspace = true }

[[bin]]
name = "rutster"
path = "src/main.rs"

• Step 2: Write the failing integration test first

Create crates/rutster/tests/api_integration.rs:

//! Integration test for the slice-1 REST surface (spec §4.1, §6.4).
//!
//! Spins up the axum app on an ephemeral port, then exercises the API
//! contract: POST /v1/sessions → JSON { session_id }; GET / serves a
//! text/html page. We do NOT exercise the WebRTC handshake here (that
//! needs a real peer); the manual e2e plan in README.md covers it.

use axum::body::Body;
use axum::http::{Request, StatusCode};
use rutster::session_map::AppState;
use tower::ServiceExt; // enables `oneshot` on the Router for sync tests

#[tokio::test]
async fn post_v1_sessions_returns_a_session_id() {
    let app = rutster::routes::router(AppState::new());
    let resp = app
        .oneshot(
            Request::builder()
                .method("POST")
                .uri("/v1/sessions")
                .body(Body::empty())
                .unwrap(),
        )
        .await
        .unwrap();

    assert_eq!(resp.status(), StatusCode::OK);
    let body = axum::body::to_bytes(resp.into_body(), 1024).await.unwrap();
    let v: serde_json::Value = serde_json::from_slice(&body).unwrap();
    assert!(v["session_id"].is_string(), "response has session_id");
    assert_eq!(v["session_id"].as_str().unwrap().len(), 36); // UUID v4
}

#[tokio::test]
async fn get_root_serves_html() {
    let app = rutster::routes::router(AppState::new());
    let resp = app
        .oneshot(Request::builder().uri("/").body(Body::empty()).unwrap())
        .await
        .unwrap();

    assert_eq!(resp.status(), StatusCode::OK);
    assert_eq!(
        resp.headers()
            .get("content-type")
            .map(|v| v.to_str().unwrap()),
        Some("text/html; charset=utf-8")
    );
}

• Step 3: Run the test to verify it fails

Run: cargo test -p rutster --test api_integration Expected: FAIL — rutster::routes and rutster::session_map don't exist.

• Step 4: Write crates/rutster/src/session_map.rs

//! # Session store + poll-driver (spec §4.5)
//!
//! `DashMap<ChannelId, RtcSession>` holds active sessions; the `ChannelId`
//! (UUID newtype from `rutster-call-model`) IS the session id surfaced in
//! the REST API. A single tokio task drives all sessions' poll loops (a
//! per-session task would clutter the runtime and pre-pave the wrong
//! pattern for the step-4 dedicated thread — spec §4.5).
//!
//! # Concurrency note
//!
//! `DashMap` shards its inner `HashMap` so concurrent gets/puts across
//! different `ChannelId`s don't contend. We iterate per-shard inside the
//! poll task to drive each session; entries marked `Closed` are removed.

In crates/rutster/src/main.rs, declare the two modules above main. They must be pub mod (not plain mod) because the integration test in tests/api_integration.rs references them via absolute paths (rutster::routes::router, rutster::session_map::AppState). Binary crates don't have an external consumer surface in production, but Rust still requires pub mod for tests/ integration tests to see the path:

pub mod routes;
pub mod session_map;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // (the body from above)
}

(Equivalent: write pub mod lines first, then #[tokio::main] async fn main() { ... } below them. The order in the file is: top-level docs → pub mod declarations → use imports → main.)

• Step 7: Write crates/rutster/static/index.html (browser test client, spec §4.4)

</html>

• Step 8: Add crates/rutster to the workspace members

Modify root Cargo.toml:

members = [
    "crates/rutster",
    "crates/rutster-call-model",
    "crates/rutster-media",
    "crates/rutster-signaling-sip",
    "crates/rutster-tap",
    "crates/rutster-spend",
]

• Step 9: Run the integration tests

Run: cargo test -p rutster --test api_integration Expected: 2 tests passing (post_v1_sessions_returns_a_session_id, get_root_serves_html).

NOTE FOR THE IMPLEMENTER: session_map.rs calls RtcSession::new() (the single constructor from Task 4 Step 5). No new_for_test/new_for_server split — Task 4 was patched in review to expose just pub fn new(). If you encountered an older plan revision mentioning two constructors, disregard it; the canonical name is RtcSession::new().

• Step 10: Run clippy + fmt

Run: cargo fmt --check && cargo clippy -p rutster -- -D warnings Expected: clean.

• Step 11: Manual smoke (spec §6.5)

cargo run -p rutster
# in another terminal / browser:
# open http://localhost:8080/  → click Start call → grant mic → hear echo
# click Hang up → server logs Closing → Closed

This is the slice-1 "done" criterion #5. Don't gate the commit on the manual test (it's browser-driven) — flag it in the commit message as "manual e2e pending."

• Step 12: Commit

git add Cargo.toml crates/rutster
git commit -m "binary: axum signaling + DashMap session store + browser test client

Four routes on axum 0.7 per spec §4.1: POST /v1/sessions (mint),
POST /v1/sessions/:id/offer (str0m-native SDP accept), DELETE
/v1/sessions/:id (close), GET / (static HTML client). Session store is
a DashMap<ChannelId, Arc<Mutex<RtcSession>>> (spec §4.5); one tokio
task drives all session poll loops — per-session tasks would pre-pave
the wrong pattern for step 4's dedicated thread. Graceful shutdown
drops the DashMap on Ctrl-C / SIGTERM. Integration test exercises the
REST surface; manual browser e2e per README §6.5."

Task 6: cargo-deny config + CI workflow

Files:

• Create: deny.toml
• Create: .github/workflows/ci.yml

Interfaces:

• Consumes: nothing code-wise.

• Produces: cargo deny check gating CI; CI runs fmt --check, clippy -D warnings, test --all, deny check on push + PR to main (spec §6.1, §6.2).

• Step 1: Write deny.toml

# deny.toml — cargo-deny config (spec §6.1).

]
confidence-threshold = 0.93

[bans]
# Catch accidental dep-tree divergence early: tokio/serde/bytes/tracing

multiple-versions = "deny"
wildcards = "deny"
highlight = "all"

allow-git = []

• Step 2: Write .github/workflows/ci.yml

# .github/workflows/ci.yml — slice-1 CI (spec §6.2).
# Gates: fmt --check, clippy -D warnings, test --all, cargo deny check.
name: CI

        with:
          command: check

• Step 3: Install cargo-deny locally and verify

cargo install cargo-deny --locked
cargo deny check

Expected: all four checks (advisories, licenses, bans, sources) clean. If a non-allowed license shows up in the transitive graph, add it to allow in deny.toml. If unavoidable duplicate versions show up, add them to skip with a comment explaining why (don't blindly silence — investigate the duplicate).

• Step 4: Install libopus locally (the FFI dependency)

sudo apt-get install -y libopus-dev   # Debian/Ubuntu
# Fedora: sudo dnf install -y opus-devel
# macOS:  brew install opus

Verify: cargo test --all passes locally.

• Step 5: Commit

git add deny.toml .github/workflows/ci.yml
git commit -m "ci: cargo-deny + GitHub Actions workflow (spec §6.1, §6.2)

deny.toml allows the permissive Rust-ecosystem licenses + our own
GPL-3.0-or-later; bans duplicate versions of tokio/serde/bytes/tracing
to catch dep-tree divergence early; restricts sources to crates.io. CI
runs fmt --check, clippy -D warnings, test --all (matrix: stable +
MSRV 1.85), and cargo deny check on push + PR to main. The CI job
installs libopus-dev — the opus crate's FFI dependency (PORT_PLAN §7
'Core (FFI)' disposition)."

Task 7: LEARNING.md + fuzz/ placeholder + README dev-loop

Files:

• Create: LEARNING.md
• Create: fuzz/README.md
• Modify: README.md (add a "Slice 1 dev loop" section).

Interfaces:

• Consumes: the full workspace produced by Tasks 1–6.

• Produces: the LEARNING.md index (spec §7 — at least 5 pointers), the fuzz/ placeholder dir (spec §2), and the dev-loop doc slice in README.md (covers libopus install + manual e2e steps from spec §6.5).

• Step 1: Write LEARNING.md

# LEARNING.md — to learn concept X, read file Y

This index maps a Rust concept you might be learning to the file where
slice 1 makes the concept concrete. Each entry is a worked example you
can read in `cargo doc --open` plus the source file itself.

## Concepts + pointers

- **Newtype pattern (type-safety via single-field wrappers)** →
  `crates/rutster-call-model/src/lib.rs` — `ChannelId(Uuid)`. The newtype
  stops us from mixing up a `ChannelId` with some future `SessionId` at
  the type-system level. Compile-enforced where a comment could only ask.

- **`enum` for closed state sets + exhaustive `match`** →
  `crates/rutster-call-model/src/lib.rs` — `ChannelState` (New →
  Connecting → Connected → Closing → Closed). Exhaustiveness checking
  forces every `match` to consider each state; adding a state later
  surfaces every site that needs handling.

- **Sans-IO pattern (no I/O inside the library; input via method calls,
  output via return values)** → `crates/rutster-media/src/loop_driver.rs`
  — the str0m poll loop. `Rtc::handle_input` takes a network packet as a
  struct argument, not from a socket the library owns; `poll_output`
  returns `Transmit` packets the caller sends. Fully testable without a
  network — str0m integration tests use this property to drive faster
  than realtime.

- **Trait design for extension points (a futures-compatible seam)** →
  `crates/rutster-media/src/pcm.rs` — the `AudioSource` / `AudioSink`
  traits. Slice 1 wires an `EchoAudioPipe` between them; step 2 swaps
  that for a real WSS tap client without touching `RtcSession`. The
  traits describe *what* the splice point does, not *how* it's filled.

- **Error enums with `thiserror` + hot-path match-and-continue** →
  `crates/rutster-media/src/lib.rs` (`MediaError`) and
  `crates/rutster-media/src/opus_codec.rs` (`OpusDecoder::decode` returns
  `Option<PcmFrame>`). Cold path: `thiserror`-derived enum + `?`. Hot
  path: match-and-continue, never `?`, never panic — "drop + observe,
  don't crash" (spec §3.8).

- **`Arc<Mutex<T>>` vs `Arc<RwLock<T>>` — when each is right** →
  `crates/rutster/src/session_map.rs`. The `RtcSession` lives behind
  `Arc<Mutex<...>>` because every access mutates it (str0m's `&mut self`
  contract) — `RwLock`'s read-mode would be useless. Comment on the
  struct explains the trade-off.

- **`DashMap` for sharded concurrent maps** →
  `crates/rutster/src/session_map.rs`. `DashMap` shards its inner map so
  two handlers operating on different `ChannelId`s don't contend;
  `HashMap` wrapped in a single `Mutex` would serialize every access.

- **str0m 0.21's single-mutation invariant** →
  `crates/rutster-media/src/loop_driver.rs`. Mutate (handle_input /
  Writer::write) → drain `poll_output` to `Output::Timeout` → next
  mutate. Violating this leaves str0m in an inconsistent state.

- **tokio graceful shutdown via signal handlers** →
  `crates/rutster/src/main.rs` (`shutdown_signal`). Ctrl-C / SIGTERM
  drops the AppState; the AppState drops the DashMap; the DashMap drops
  every RtcSession. No in-flight call preservation in slice 1.

- **`include_str!` for embedding static assets** →
  `crates/rutster/src/routes.rs` (`include_str!("../static/index.html")`).
  The HTML test client is compiled into the binary at build time — no
  separate file to ship, no disk IO to serve it.

## How to read

1. `cargo doc --open` — every module has a `//!` doc comment; the doc
   tree is the high-level map.
2. Pick a concept above; open the named file. The first occurrence of
   each non-obvious pattern has a `//` comment explaining *why*.
3. Cross-ref back to the spec sections cited inline (`spec §3.8`,
   `ADR-0002`, etc.) for the architecture-level rationale.

• Step 2: Write fuzz/README.md (placeholder)

# fuzz/ — cargo-fuzz harness directory (placeholder)

**Status:** placeholder. Not yet a cargo-fuzz project — just the directory.
Fuzz harnesses land at spearhead step 5 (PSTN trunk) alongside the
SIP/SDP/RTP wire parsers (PORT_PLAN §10 mandates continuous fuzzing of
every wire parser). Slice 1 has no hostile-bytes surface (the browser is
trusted), so no harnesses here yet — the `fuzz/` dir pre-paves the
layout. Populating this directory with a real `cargo-fuzz` project
(`fuzz/Cargo.toml` + `fuzz/fuzz_targets/*.rs`) happens at step 5.

If you're at step 5, replace this README with that structure:
- `fuzz/Cargo.toml` — cargo-fuzz manifest.
- `fuzz/fuzz_targets/sip_parser.rs` — fuzz the SIP parser.
- `fuzz/fuzz_targets/sdp_parser.rs` — fuzz the SDP parser.
- `fuzz/fuzz_targets/rtp_packet.rs` — fuzz the RTP packet parser.
- CI job running a short fuzz burst on each PR (the cargo-fuzz integration
  lands in `.github/workflows/` at that point).

The hot-path "drop + observe, don't crash" policy (spec §3.8) is what the
future harnesses assert against: throw arbitrary bytes at the parser,
assert it returns an error or drops silently — never panics.

• Step 3: Add the dev-loop section to README.md

Find the existing dev-loop / "how to run" area in README.md. If none exists, add this section near the top, after the project framing:

## Slice 1 dev loop (WebRTC media loopback)

> Build prerequisite: install libopus (the `opus` crate links it via FFI):
> ```bash
> sudo apt-get install -y libopus-dev   # Debian/Ubuntu
> # Fedora: sudo dnf install -y opus-devel
> # macOS:  brew install opus
> ```
> This is the one system dependency in slice 1. Opus is FFI per PORT_PLAN
> §7's "🦀 Core (FFI)" disposition — the codec surface Rust doesn't need
> to re-implement.

Run the server:

```bash
cargo run
# listening on http://0.0.0.0:8080

Open a browser to http://localhost:8080/, click "Start call", grant microphone permission. Speak — you should hear yourself back within ~200 ms (no perceptible delay). Click "Hang up" to tear down; server logs Closing → Closed.

Verbose tracing:

RUST_LOG=rutster=debug cargo run

Slice 1 "done" checklist (spec §6.5)

On a clean checkout:

1. cargo test --all passes.
2. cargo fmt --check passes.
3. cargo clippy -- -D warnings passes.
4. cargo deny check passes.
5. cargo run + browser manual e2e: speak → hear echo within ~200 ms.
6. Hang-up button triggers Closing → Closed in server logs.
7. Every stub crate compiles; its doc-comment names its scheduled step.
8. LEARNING.md indexes at least 5 "to learn X, read Y" pointers.

- [ ] **Step 4: Run the full "done" checklist (spec §6.5)**

```bash
cargo fmt --check
cargo clippy --all -- -D warnings
cargo test --all
cargo deny check

All four must pass before the commit. Flag the manual browser e2e (criterion #5) as "manually verified" or "pending" in the commit message.

• Step 5: Commit

git add LEARNING.md fuzz/README.md README.md
git commit -m "docs: LEARNING.md + fuzz/ placeholder + README dev-loop (spec §7, §6.3)

LEARNING.md indexes ten concept-to-file pointers (the spec floor was
five) — the newtype pattern, exhaustive enum match, sans-IO, trait
extension seams, thiserror + hot-path match-and-continue, Arc<Mutex>
vs Arc<RwLock>, DashMap, str0m's single-mutation invariant, graceful
shutdown, include_str!. fuzz/README.md pre-paves the layout (no
hostile-bytes surface in slice 1; harnesses land at step 5 per the
out-of-scope table). README's new dev-loop section documents the
libopus FFI prerequisite and the manual e2e steps."

---

Self-review (post-write)

Ran the writing-plans self-review checklist:

1. Spec coverage — every spec section maps to a task:

• §2 workspace layout → Task 1 (workspace + stubs), Task 2 (call-model), Task 3 (media), Task 5 (binary).
• §3.1 RtcSession + PcmFrame + codec pair → Tasks 3 + 4.
• §3.2 loop shape (Approach A, Frame API) → Task 4 (loop_driver.rs).
• §3.3 PCM tap seam (traits + EchoAudioPipe) → Task 3 (pcm.rs).
• §3.4 tokio deviation → Task 4 (verbatim DEV-DEVIATION comment).
• §3.5/§3.6 DTLS cert → Task 4 (str0m auto-generates; we feed it via Rtc::new, not explicit set_dtls_cert — the spec's "explicit is acceptable too" auto-gen default is honored).
• §3.7 SDP — str0m's accept_offer does it natively. Plan documents this delta from §3.7's hand-rolled munger sketch (str0m 0.21 made the munger redundant).
• §3.8 hot-path errors → Task 3 (Option-returning decode/encode) + Task 4 (match-and-continue drain).
• §3.9 PCM format → Task 3 (24000 Hz mono, 480 samples, SAMPLES_PER_FRAME).
• §4.1–§4.5 HTTP surface, ICE, security, browser client, session lifecycle, idle timeout, graceful shutdown → Task 5.
• §5 call model → Task 2.
• §6.1–§6.5 CI, dev loop, testing → Tasks 6 + 7.
• §7 learner-facing docs → Task 7 + the documentation mandate embedded in Global Constraints (every task's code carries //!/////// per the standard).
• §8 design decisions → reflected in the choices the plan makes (str0m Frame API, EchoAudioPipe wiring, Channel = signaling-only state).

2. Placeholder scan: No TBD/TODO/implement later. Every code step has complete code or an explicit "deferred per spec §1.2" reference. The residual str0m-API-uncertainty note in Task 4 step 7 (SdpAnswer::mid() and PayloadParams::pt() accessors) names the exact symbols the implementer should verify against cargo doc -p str0m --open — they are concrete verification instructions, not vague TODOs.

3. Type consistency: ChannelId, ChannelState, Channel, Direction (Task 2) referenced identically in Tasks 4 + 5. PcmFrame, AudioSource, AudioSink, EchoAudioPipe, OpusDecoder, OpusEncoder (Task 3) referenced identically in Task 4. RtcSession, RtcSessionError (Task 4) referenced identically in Task 5. AppState (Task 5 step 4) referenced identically in Task 5 step 5 + the integration test (step 2) + main.rs (step 6).

4. Known deltas flagged in the plan:

• str0m 0.21's native accept_offer replaces §3.7's "50-line SDP munger" sketch.
• opus crate's FFI links system libopus — amends §6.3's "no external deps beyond Rust" with the PORT_PLAN §7 rationale.
• Single RtcSession::new() constructor (post-review patch) — no new_for_test / new_for_server split.

5. Adversarial review patches applied (post-write): The plan was reviewed adversarially against str0m 0.21 and opus 0.3.1's real API surfaces (verified via docs.rs subagents). Patches landed:

• Global Constraints: full str0m 0.21 API surface verified + documented (Rtc::new takes Instant; SdpOffer::from_sdp_string is the entry point, NOT from_str_unchecked; add_local_candidate returns Option<&Candidate>; Writer::write takes rtp_time not media_time; MediaTime has no add(Duration) — use mt + MediaTime::from(d); payload_params returns impl Iterator; MediaData.data is Arc<[u8]>).
• Task 4: accept_offer impl rewritten to use from_sdp_string + correct error mapping; RtcSessionError::SdpOffer changed to String (collapses parse + accept failures uniformly).
• Task 4: RtcSession::new_for_test → pub fn new() (single idiomatic constructor, no test/prod split).
• Task 4: added accept_offer_transitions_channel_to_connecting test (L3 — the transition was claimed but untested).
• Task 4 loop_driver: MediaTime::add → + MediaTime::from(Duration); media.data deref coercion documented; writer.payload_params().next().pt() path clarified.
• Task 5: dropped reqwest from workspace deps (unused — integration test uses tower::ServiceExt::oneshot); added tower as a workspace dep + to the binary crate's [dev-dependencies].
• Task 5: removed the duplicate DELETE /v1/sessions route (was chained via .delete() on the collection route AND on /v1/sessions/:id — only the latter is correct).
• Task 5: clarified the pub mod routes; pub mod session_map; requirement (must be pub because integration tests need the absolute path).
• Global Constraints: added task/PR strategy (one commit per task, merged in numeric order, granular history is load-bearing for the learning-codebase goal).
