Christian PillsburyandClaude Opus 4.8 7cde2ea28d refactor(spf): hold one shared presentation anchor for all live tracks
Convert anchor-live-tracks from N per-track buffer pins to a single
shared (media-time <-> PDT) anchor applied to every selected track —
video, audio, and now text. A two-state reactor (unanchored -> anchored)
positions from the manifest estimate until a selected A/V track has
SourceBuffer ground truth, then establishes the shared anchor once
(first track to buffer wins) and positions each track onto it by PDT,
leaving it to the parser's carry-forward thereafter.

The resolveBufferedAnchor seam now takes the standard (track, deps)
setup arguments instead of closing over engine scope; the HLS engine's
implementation lives in its own generic module (resolve-buffered-anchor)
so a future audio-only-live engine can reuse it. anchorLiveTracks is now
a makeAnchorLiveTracks<Context>() factory mirroring makeShareSignals.

Realizes internal/decisions/live-presentation-anchor.md.

Design Docs

Decisions you own — documented for posterity.

What Belongs Here

Design Docs are decisions you own. Write one when:

  • Making architectural decisions in your area
  • Choosing between implementation approaches
  • Introducing design patterns others will follow
  • Documenting internal APIs or component specs

When to Use RFC Instead

Use an RFC (rfc/) when:

  • Changes public API surface
  • Affects product direction
  • Affects user-facing developer experience
  • Significant changes to core architecture
  • Hard to reverse once shipped

Rule of thumb: If you need someone else's approval, it's an RFC. If you're documenting your own decision, it's a Design Doc.

# Title

## Decision

What you decided. Be direct.

## Context

Why this came up. What problem triggered the decision.

## Alternatives Considered

- **Option A** — Why not chosen
- **Option B** — Why not chosen

## Rationale

Why this choice wins. Keep concise.

Status Values

Status Meaning
draft Thinking through it, not final
decided Decision made, documented
implemented Built and shipped — kept for rationale
superseded Replaced by another design doc

Archive

archive/ contains design docs for fully implemented features where the "what" is now captured by the code itself. These docs are preserved for reference but are no longer actively maintained. Docs with high "why" value (decisions, rationale, alternatives) stay in the main directory with status: implemented.

File Naming

Use lowercase with hyphens:

queue-design.md
hook-naming.md
skin-theming.md
