+Subject: [PATCH] avcodec/aarch64/h264dsp: route H.264 4x4 IDCT through
+ daedalus-fourier
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+H264DSPContext.idct_add (called per 4x4 block from the intra-4x4
+decode path in h264_mb.c) now dispatches through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct4 instead of ff_h264_idct_add_neon.
+
+The recipe layer picks the substrate; for cycle 6 (H.264 IDCT 4x4)
+the recipe is CPU NEON, so this is effectively a NEON-to-NEON
+substitution with one extra dispatch call and recipe-table lookup.
+Provides the first end-to-end exercise of the daedalus-fourier
+kernel pack inside the libavcodec.so decode hot path; follow-up
+patches wire IDCT 8x8, luma-v deblock, and qpel mc20.
+
+The library context is process-global, lazily initialised under
+pthread_once on first call.  We pick the no-QPU constructor because
+libavcodec.so is loaded into arbitrary host processes
+(firefox-fourier, mpv-fourier, daedalus_v4l2_daemon, ...) and we
+cannot assume the host has a usable Vulkan instance.  Higher cycles
+(deblock luma-v, MC) that benefit from the QPU will provision their
+own recipe-selected context once that path is wired.
+
+Bulk paths (idct_add16, idct_add16intra, idct_add8 — used for
+non-intra4x4 macroblocks) remain on the stock NEON .S implementations
+and will be batched through daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct4 with
+n_blocks>1 in a follow-up.
+
+Bit-exact against ff_h264_idct_add_neon (daedalus-fourier cycle 6
+green; see marfrit/daedalus-fourier/CYCLE_LOGS.md).

+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+H264DSPContext.idct8_add (called per 8x8 block from the High-profile
+intra-8x8-DCT decode path in h264_mb.c) now dispatches through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct8 instead of ff_h264_idct8_add_neon.
+
+The recipe layer picks the substrate; for cycle 7 (H.264 IDCT 8x8)
+the recipe is CPU NEON, so this is effectively a NEON-to-NEON
+substitution layered on top of the cycle-6 IDCT 4x4 wiring.  Same
+pthread_once global context, same destructive-zero semantics; FFmpeg
+column-major 8x8 storage block[r + 8*c] matches daedalus's convention.
+
+Bulk path c->idct8_add4 (used for inter 8x8-DCT macroblocks) remains
+on the in-tree NEON .S code and will be batched through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct8 with n_blocks>1 in a follow-up.
+
+Bit-exact against ff_h264_idct8_add_neon (daedalus-fourier cycle 7
+green).

+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+H264DSPContext.v_loop_filter_luma (non-intra bS<4 vertical luma
+deblock, called per macroblock-row edge from the slice deblock
+loop) now dispatches through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_deblock_luma_v instead of
+ff_h264_v_loop_filter_luma_neon.
+
+The recipe layer picks the substrate; for cycle 8 the daedalus
+docstring marks the kernel "CPU primary; QPU opportunistic", but
+the libavcodec.so context here is built with
+daedalus_ctx_create_no_qpu — process-global pthread_once init,
+shared with cycles 6/7.  QPU opportunism stays gated off until a
+follow-up adds an explicit feature flag (no implicit Vulkan init
+in arbitrary host processes).  In the meantime cycle 8 is a
+plumbing-only substitution, NEON-to-NEON via the daedalus recipe.
+
+Intra (bS=4) loop filter — c->v_loop_filter_luma_intra — stays on
+the in-tree NEON .S code; daedalus's daedalus_h264_deblock_meta
+only covers the non-intra path per its docstring.
+
+FFmpeg `int alpha/beta/int8_t tc0[4]` → daedalus_h264_deblock_meta
+(int32_t alpha/beta + inline int8_t tc0[4]).  pix already points
+to row 0 of the bottom block per FFmpeg's deblock convention,
+satisfying daedalus's `dst_off >= 4 * dst_stride` constraint.

+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+FFmpeg 8.x dropped the H.264 decoder's low_delay path —
+AV_CODEC_FLAG_LOW_DELAY no longer prevents
+h264_select_output_frame from running the display-order DPB
+output queue.  V4L2-stateless-style consumers (daedalus-v4l2
+daemon, libva-v4l2-request-fourier) that set the flag end up
+seeing the 2-1-4-3 pair-swap pattern on B-frame streams again.
+
+Restore the documented semantics:
+
+  - Early-exit at the top of h264_select_output_frame when the
+    flag is set: emit the just-decoded picture immediately as
+    next_output_pic, mirror the corruption / recovery-point
+    tracking the main path performs, and skip the entire
+    delayed_pic[] / POC reorder machinery.
+
+  - Suppress the SPS-driven has_b_frames clobber in
+    h264_field_start when the flag is set, so the per-slice
+    bitstream_restriction_flag re-pickup cannot reintroduce a
+    nonzero reorder buffer mid-stream.
+
+This is a fork-only change required by the daedalus-v4l2 daemon's
+one-frame-per-send_packet contract; upstream FFmpeg consumers that
+expect display-order output remain untouched (flag default = off).
+
+Refs reauktion/daedalus-v4l2#11 — substitution arc step 2 deblock
++ flag-restoration follow-up.

+Subject: [PATCH] avcodec/aarch64/h264qpel: route 8x8 mc20 through
+ daedalus-fourier
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+H264QpelContext.put_h264_qpel_pixels_tab[1][2] (8x8 luma horizontal
+half-pel, 6-tap "put" variant — the canonical representative of the
+H.264 luma motion-compensation family) now dispatches through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_qpel_mc20 instead of
+ff_put_h264_qpel8_mc20_neon.
+
+Cycle 9 of the daedalus-v4l2#11 step 2 substitution arc; closes the
+4-cycle libavcodec.so substitution sequence (6 IDCT 4x4 / 7 IDCT 8x8 /
+8 luma-v deblock / 9 qpel mc20).
+
+The recipe layer picks the substrate. Per docs/k9_h264qpel_mc20.md
+the verdict is CPU NEON: per-block 7.6 ns at 131 Mblock/s gives 135x
+margin over 30 fps 1080p, and the QPU dispatch floor (~250 ns)
+makes any V3D shader strictly worse. Substitution is plumbing-only,
+NEON-by-recipe — same daedalus_ctx_create_no_qpu pthread_once
+context shape the cycles 6/7/8 shims already own (kept SEPARATE
+from the H264DSP shim's ctx because H264QPEL is its own libavcodec
+Makefile module and link order does not guarantee a single .o
+owns the ctx symbol; one extra ~µs init per process, paid lazily).
+
+Other H.264 luma MC variants (mc02, mc11, mc22 etc.) and the 16x16
+size tier stay on the in-tree NEON .S code. Per the cycle-9 phase-1
+rationale, mc20 8x8 is representative of the whole family's per-block
+cost — extending the substitution to other variants would multiply
+recipe-lookup overhead without changing the substrate verdict.
+
+Bit-exact against ff_put_h264_qpel8_mc20_neon (daedalus-fourier
+cycle 9 green; M1 = 100% bit-exact across 10000 random blocks).
+
+No SONAME change, no Depends change.
+
+Refs reauktion/daedalus-v4l2#11 — substitution arc step 2 cycle 9.

+Subject: panvk: expose VK_KHR/EXT_robustness2 + nullDescriptor on Bifrost (PAN_ARCH 6/7)
+
+Without this, Mesa's Zink driver refuses to use PanVk-Bifrost as its Vulkan
+backend, falling back silently to llvmpipe (software rasterizer) for all
+GL-via-Zink on Bifrost SBCs. That defeats the entire purpose of having a
+Vulkan driver on Bifrost — GL acceleration via Zink is the most natural
+near-term consumer.
+
+panvk_vX_nir_lower_descriptors.c:1309 and panvk_vX_shader.c:1355 already
+plumb dev->vk.enabled_features.nullDescriptor arch-agnostically — the gate
+at panvk_vX_physical_device.c was set conservatively when Bifrost was
+unmaintained, not because of hardware incapability.
+
+iter1–7 of the panvk-bifrost campaign proved fundamental driver functions
+on Mali-G52 r1 MC1 (PAN_ARCH=7). This patch is the iter8 follow-up.
+
+robustBufferAccess2 and robustImageAccess2 are NOT flipped — they're
+independent rb2 features Zink doesn't require, gated differently
+(robustBufferAccess2 = PAN_ARCH >= 11, robustImageAccess2 = false), and
+out of scope for iter8.

+Subject: panvk: expose Vulkan 1.1 + 1.2 on Bifrost (PAN_ARCH 6/7)
+
+ANGLE (Chromium's GL stack) requires apiVersion >= 1.1 to initialize. Without
+this, Brave / Chromium's GPU process fails at GL info collection:
+
+  vk_renderer.cpp:2659 (initialize): ANGLE Requires a minimum Vulkan device
+                                     version of 1.1
+  Display::initialize error 0: Internal Vulkan error (-9): The requested
+                               version of Vulkan is not supported by the driver
+
+Stack-up with iter8's robustness2 patch enables ANGLE → PanVk-Bifrost →
+Skia (via --enable-features=Vulkan) on Bifrost SBCs.
+
+PanVk-Bifrost already supports the bulk of 1.1-promoted features as extensions
+(multiview, maintenance1-3, descriptor update template, 16-bit storage,
+descriptor update template, sampler ycbcr, variable pointers, etc. — all
+visible in iter0 vulkaninfo). The version bump primarily bundles them.
+
+Risk: Vulkan 1.1 has features beyond what iter1–7 exercised (protected memory,
+full subgroup ops). Specific app failures will be characterizable.
+
+1.2 is also flipped — Brave's Vulkan path may want descriptor indexing,
+buffer device address, etc. (all listed in iter0 vulkaninfo as supported
+extensions, just gated as 1.0-with-extensions, not 1.2-core).

++ * iter17: panvk-specific replacement for pan_nir_lower_xfb that handles
++ * primitive decomposition for transform_feedback on non-LIST topologies
++ * (TRIANGLE_STRIP/FAN, LINE_STRIP, *_WITH_ADJACENCY).
++ *
++ * Approach: emit a topology dispatch at the start of each store_output
++ * lowering. The shader reads vs.xfb_topology sysval at runtime and branches
++ * into per-topology emission logic. For each affected topology, the lowered
++ * code emits guarded conditional stores — one per primitive this vertex
++ * contributes to, computing the output buffer position via primitive index
++ * and slot within the decomposed primitive.
++ *
++ * For LIST topologies (POINT/LINE/TRIANGLE LIST), takes a fast path that
++ * matches iter13's single-store behavior.
++ *
++ * For TRIANGLE_FAN, the central vertex (v=0) contributes to ALL primitives
++ * as slot 2 — handled via a NIR loop bounded by num_vertices.
++ *
++ * See ~/src/panvk-bifrost/iter17/phase{0,1,2}_*.md for full design context.

+# What it does (on top of r4):
+#   - 0001..0004: inherited from mesa-panvk-bifrost (robustness2/null-
+#     descriptor, vk1.1/1.2 advertisement, EXT_transform_feedback, XFB
+#     primitive decomposition) — symlinked from the r4 package directory
+#     so the patches don't drift between siblings.
+#   - 0005: VK_KHR_video_queue + VK_KHR_video_decode_queue +
+#     VK_KHR_video_decode_h264 backed by V4L2-stateless hantro.
+#     Touches 14 files in src/panfrost/vulkan/; full diff in
+#     0005-panvk-bifrost-video-KHR-video-decode-h264.patch.
+#
+# Co-existence:
+#   - Installs to /usr/lib/panvk-bifrost-video/ (parallel to r4's
+#     /usr/lib/panvk-bifrost/). Pick at runtime via VK_ICD_FILENAMES.
+#   - r4 stays the recommended default for the Chromium-GPU-process
+#     consumer (no video needed there). Use this package when the
+#     consumer wants Vulkan video decode (mpv-fourier, ffmpeg-vulkan,
+#     future Chromium-VulkanVideoDecoder).
+#
+# Phase 1 limitations to know about (documented in source comments):
+#   - Single video session per device (active_video singleton)
+#   - Synchronous decode at record time — no pipelining yet
+#   - Hardcoded /dev/video1 + /dev/media0 (matches RK3566/68, blocks
+#     other SoCs without a topology-walk port)
+#   - Bitstream source buffer assumed HOST_VISIBLE (true on panvk-
+#     bifrost, would need fallback on other backends)
+#
+# Build target: arch-aarch64 runner via marfrit-packages Gitea Actions.

+# mesa-panvk-bifrost-video
+
+Patched Mesa `libvulkan_panfrost.so` that **adds `VK_KHR_video_decode_h264`** on Mali Bifrost SBCs (PAN_ARCH 6/7, RK3566/RK3568 class hardware), backed by the SoC's V4L2-stateless **hantro** VPU.
+
+This is a **sibling** of [mesa-panvk-bifrost](../mesa-panvk-bifrost/) (the r4 package that exposes Bifrost to Chromium's Vulkan compositor). Pick this one when the consumer wants Vulkan **video decode** in addition; pick r4 for compositor-only.
+
+## Status
+
+Phase 4 byte-exact validated 2026-05-21: 48/48 unique BBB display frames decoded by this package are byte-identical to `ffmpeg+libva-v4l2-request-fourier` running on the same hantro hardware. Phase 5 second-model review completed; all load-bearing findings addressed. First publish via marfrit-packages CI 2026-05-22 (PR #79 merge did not auto-fire Actions; this re-trigger restores the standard build/sign/publish path).
+
+## How to use
+
+```sh
+# Co-installs alongside r4 and stock mesa.
+sudo pacman -S mesa-panvk-bifrost-video
+
+# Opt in (not on the default loader search path).
+export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/lib/panvk-bifrost-video/icd.json
+export PAN_I_WANT_A_BROKEN_VULKAN_DRIVER=1   # mesa-upstream gate
+
+# Run a Vulkan video consumer.
+vulkan-video-dec-simple-test -i your.h264 --codec h264 --noPresent --maxFrameCount 50
+# or
+ffmpeg -hwaccel vulkan -i your.mp4 ...
+```
+
+## Phase 1 limitations
+
+Documented in source comments and worth knowing before relying on this in production:
+
+- **Single video session per device.** Concurrent `VkVideoSessionKHR` on the same device clobber each other (`active_video` singleton). Sufficient for current single-stream consumers.
+- **Synchronous decode at record time.** The full V4L2 ioctl dance runs to completion inside `vkCmdDecodeVideoKHR`. No pipelining. Throughput is bounded by hantro's ~1.16× realtime on 1080p H.264.
+- **Hardcoded `/dev/video1` + `/dev/media0`.** Matches RK3566/68 but won't work on other SoCs without a topology-walk port (see `libva-v4l2-request-fourier` for the full version).
+- **Bitstream source buffer assumed HOST_VISIBLE.** True on panvk-bifrost (no DEVICE_LOCAL-only memory types exist), but the code silently skips decode if the app bound the buffer to non-host-visible memory.
+
+## Co-existence
+
+- Installs to `/usr/lib/panvk-bifrost-video/` — parallel to r4's `/usr/lib/panvk-bifrost/` and stock `/usr/lib/`.
+- Opt-in via `VK_ICD_FILENAMES`; does NOT register itself in `/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/`.
+- Three drivers coexist without conflict; the user picks at runtime which to use.

++ * iter17: panvk-specific replacement for pan_nir_lower_xfb that handles
++ * primitive decomposition for transform_feedback on non-LIST topologies
++ * (TRIANGLE_STRIP/FAN, LINE_STRIP, *_WITH_ADJACENCY).
++ *
++ * Approach: emit a topology dispatch at the start of each store_output
++ * lowering. The shader reads vs.xfb_topology sysval at runtime and branches
++ * into per-topology emission logic. For each affected topology, the lowered
++ * code emits guarded conditional stores — one per primitive this vertex
++ * contributes to, computing the output buffer position via primitive index
++ * and slot within the decomposed primitive.
++ *
++ * For LIST topologies (POINT/LINE/TRIANGLE LIST), takes a fast path that
++ * matches iter13's single-store behavior.
++ *
++ * For TRIANGLE_FAN, the central vertex (v=0) contributes to ALL primitives
++ * as slot 2 — handled via a NIR loop bounded by num_vertices.
++ *
++ * See ~/src/panvk-bifrost/iter17/phase{0,1,2}_*.md for full design context.

+  * Bump to 872eec5 — picks up daedalus-v4l2 PR #20 (closes #19).
+    Wire-protocol cap DAEDALUS_PROTO_MAX_PAYLOAD raised from 64 KiB
+    to 1 MiB in include/daedalus_v4l2_proto.h.  The kernel module
+    inherits the larger DAEDALUS_MAX_BITSTREAM via the same #define

+    sizeimage = ~1 MiB instead of 65484.
+  * Skips the r33 -> r45 commit range — between 5d8b436 and 872eec5
+    only one kernel/include change landed (the PROTO_MAX_PAYLOAD
+    bump above).  The intervening daemon-only bumps (r37 / r39 /
+    r41 / r43) didn't touch kernel/ or include/ at all.
+  * Effective wire cap is min(kernel, daemon) — lock-step install
+    WITH daedalus-v4l2 0.1.0+r45+g872eec5 REQUIRED.
+  * Allocations (kmemdup / kmalloc on payload, vb2 plane backing)
+    are dynamic and sized per-payload at runtime; the bump only
+    sets the ceiling.  KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE on aarch64 SLUB is several
+    MiB so 1 MiB is well within bounds.

+  * Bump to 6ffe92b — fixes the kernel panic regression introduced
+    by 79256dc's split-completion design (closes daedalus-v4l2#8).
+    `device_run` now removes both src + dst from `m2m_ctx`'s
+    rdy_queue at pickup time, not at `buf_done` time.  Without
+    this, after `SRC_CONSUMED`'s `job_finish` released the m2m
+    scheduler, the NEXT `device_run` saw the still-queued parked
+    dst_buf and paired it with a fresh src — two inflight entries
+    referencing the same vb2_buffer, the later `HAS_PIXELS`
+    triggered list_del on an already-detached list_head, smashing
+    the rdy_queue → hard reboot on Pi CM5 during `mpv vaapi-copy`
+    playback of 720p H.264 (2026-05-21).
+  * Wire protocol unchanged — DAEDALUS_PROTO_VERSION stays at 1.
+    Daemon (userspace daedalus-v4l2 package) need NOT bump in
+    lockstep with this DKMS update; the existing
+    daedalus-v4l2 0.1.0+r28+g79256dc is wire-compatible with

+
+  * Bump to 872eec5 — picks up daedalus-v4l2 PR #20 (closes #19).
+    Wire-protocol cap DAEDALUS_PROTO_MAX_PAYLOAD raised from 64 KiB
+    to 1 MiB.  DAEDALUS_MAX_BITSTREAM follows; daedalus_fill_output_fmt
+    now reports OUTPUT_MPLANE sizeimage = ~1 MiB instead of 65484.
+    libva-v4l2-request-fourier's S_FMT-driven OUTPUT-pool resize
+    finally succeeds; Firefox no longer falls off to libmozavcodec
+    SW when an H.264 slice exceeds 64 KiB (routine on any
+    720p+ stream).
+  * #define-only change in include/daedalus_v4l2_proto.h; struct
+    layout unchanged.  But effective cap is min(kernel, daemon) —
+    lock-step install of this package WITH
+    daedalus-v4l2-dkms 0.1.0+r45+g872eec5 REQUIRED.
+  * Daemon-side allocations are dynamic (malloc-on-payload), so
+    the practical growth is one ~1 MiB read buffer per daemon
+    process at startup.  Negligible on Pi 5 / 8 GB.
+  * Picks up the same r43 -> r45 transition as daedalus-v4l2-dkms
+    (which had been stuck at r33+g5d8b436 since the parking-design
+    revert because the kernel module didn't change in r37/r39/r41/r43).

+    (presumably a bare NAL start code) into OUTPUT_MPLANE at the

+Subject: [PATCH] avcodec/aarch64/h264dsp: route H.264 4x4 IDCT through
+ daedalus-fourier
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+H264DSPContext.idct_add (called per 4x4 block from the intra-4x4
+decode path in h264_mb.c) now dispatches through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct4 instead of ff_h264_idct_add_neon.
+
+The recipe layer picks the substrate; for cycle 6 (H.264 IDCT 4x4)
+the recipe is CPU NEON, so this is effectively a NEON-to-NEON
+substitution with one extra dispatch call and recipe-table lookup.
+Provides the first end-to-end exercise of the daedalus-fourier
+kernel pack inside the libavcodec.so decode hot path; follow-up
+patches wire IDCT 8x8, luma-v deblock, and qpel mc20.
+
+The library context is process-global, lazily initialised under
+pthread_once on first call.  We pick the no-QPU constructor because
+libavcodec.so is loaded into arbitrary host processes
+(firefox-fourier, mpv-fourier, daedalus_v4l2_daemon, ...) and we
+cannot assume the host has a usable Vulkan instance.  Higher cycles
+(deblock luma-v, MC) that benefit from the QPU will provision their
+own recipe-selected context once that path is wired.
+
+Bulk paths (idct_add16, idct_add16intra, idct_add8 — used for
+non-intra4x4 macroblocks) remain on the stock NEON .S implementations
+and will be batched through daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct4 with
+n_blocks>1 in a follow-up.
+
+Bit-exact against ff_h264_idct_add_neon (daedalus-fourier cycle 6
+green; see marfrit/daedalus-fourier/CYCLE_LOGS.md).
+
+Refs reauktion/daedalus-v4l2#11 — substitution arc step 2.

+Subject: [PATCH] avcodec/aarch64/h264dsp: route H.264 8x8 IDCT through
+ daedalus-fourier
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+H264DSPContext.idct8_add (called per 8x8 block from the High-profile
+intra-8x8-DCT decode path in h264_mb.c) now dispatches through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct8 instead of ff_h264_idct8_add_neon.
+
+The recipe layer picks the substrate; for cycle 7 (H.264 IDCT 8x8)
+the recipe is CPU NEON, so this is effectively a NEON-to-NEON
+substitution layered on top of the cycle-6 IDCT 4x4 wiring.  Same
+pthread_once global context, same destructive-zero semantics; FFmpeg
+column-major 8x8 storage block[r + 8*c] matches daedalus's convention.
+
+Bulk path c->idct8_add4 (used for inter 8x8-DCT macroblocks) remains
+on the in-tree NEON .S code and will be batched through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct8 with n_blocks>1 in a follow-up.
+
+Bit-exact against ff_h264_idct8_add_neon (daedalus-fourier cycle 7
+green).

+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+H264DSPContext.v_loop_filter_luma (non-intra bS<4 vertical luma
+deblock, called per macroblock-row edge from the slice deblock
+loop) now dispatches through
+daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_deblock_luma_v instead of
+ff_h264_v_loop_filter_luma_neon.
+
+The recipe layer picks the substrate; for cycle 8 the daedalus
+docstring marks the kernel "CPU primary; QPU opportunistic", but
+the libavcodec.so context here is built with
+daedalus_ctx_create_no_qpu — process-global pthread_once init,
+shared with cycles 6/7.  QPU opportunism stays gated off until a
+follow-up adds an explicit feature flag (no implicit Vulkan init
+in arbitrary host processes).  In the meantime cycle 8 is a
+plumbing-only substitution, NEON-to-NEON via the daedalus recipe.
+
+Intra (bS=4) loop filter — c->v_loop_filter_luma_intra — stays on
+the in-tree NEON .S code; daedalus's daedalus_h264_deblock_meta
+only covers the non-intra path per its docstring.
+
+FFmpeg `int alpha/beta/int8_t tc0[4]` → daedalus_h264_deblock_meta
+(int32_t alpha/beta + inline int8_t tc0[4]).  pix already points
+to row 0 of the bottom block per FFmpeg's deblock convention,
+satisfying daedalus's `dst_off >= 4 * dst_stride` constraint.

+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+FFmpeg 8.x dropped the H.264 decoder's low_delay path —
+AV_CODEC_FLAG_LOW_DELAY no longer prevents
+h264_select_output_frame from running the display-order DPB
+output queue.  V4L2-stateless-style consumers (daedalus-v4l2
+daemon, libva-v4l2-request-fourier) that set the flag end up
+seeing the 2-1-4-3 pair-swap pattern on B-frame streams again.
+
+Restore the documented semantics:
+
+  - Early-exit at the top of h264_select_output_frame when the
+    flag is set: emit the just-decoded picture immediately as
+    next_output_pic, mirror the corruption / recovery-point
+    tracking the main path performs, and skip the entire
+    delayed_pic[] / POC reorder machinery.
+
+  - Suppress the SPS-driven has_b_frames clobber in
+    h264_field_start when the flag is set, so the per-slice
+    bitstream_restriction_flag re-pickup cannot reintroduce a
+    nonzero reorder buffer mid-stream.
+
+This is a fork-only change required by the daedalus-v4l2 daemon's
+one-frame-per-send_packet contract; upstream FFmpeg consumers that
+expect display-order output remain untouched (flag default = off).
+
+Refs reauktion/daedalus-v4l2#11 — substitution arc step 2 deblock
++ flag-restoration follow-up.

+Cycle 9 of the daedalus-v4l2#11 step 2 substitution arc; closes the
+4-cycle libavcodec.so substitution sequence (6 IDCT 4x4 / 7 IDCT 8x8 /
+8 luma-v deblock / 9 qpel mc20).
+
+The recipe layer picks the substrate. Per docs/k9_h264qpel_mc20.md
+the verdict is CPU NEON: per-block 7.6 ns at 131 Mblock/s gives 135x
+margin over 30 fps 1080p, and the QPU dispatch floor (~250 ns)
+makes any V3D shader strictly worse. Substitution is plumbing-only,
+NEON-by-recipe — same daedalus_ctx_create_no_qpu pthread_once
+context shape the cycles 6/7/8 shims already own (kept SEPARATE
+from the H264DSP shim's ctx because H264QPEL is its own libavcodec
+Makefile module and link order does not guarantee a single .o
+owns the ctx symbol; one extra ~µs init per process, paid lazily).
+
+Other H.264 luma MC variants (mc02, mc11, mc22 etc.) and the 16x16
+size tier stay on the in-tree NEON .S code. Per the cycle-9 phase-1
+rationale, mc20 8x8 is representative of the whole family's per-block
+cost — extending the substitution to other variants would multiply
+recipe-lookup overhead without changing the substrate verdict.
+
+Bit-exact against ff_put_h264_qpel8_mc20_neon (daedalus-fourier
+cycle 9 green; M1 = 100% bit-exact across 10000 random blocks).
+
+No SONAME change, no Depends change.

+    8.x dropped the H.264 low_delay code path entirely; setting the
+    flag at avcodec_open2 no longer prevents the display-order DPB
+    output queue from running.  Visible on Firefox YouTube as the

+  * h264_select_output_frame: early-exit when LOW_DELAY is set;
+    emit the just-decoded picture as next_output_pic, mirror the

+    the POC reorder machinery entirely.

+    is set — without this the per-slice bitstream_restriction_flag
+    re-pickup would reintroduce a nonzero reorder buffer mid-

+    2026-05-19, no matching source commit in main); CI's
+    check-already-published.sh compares with `dpkg --compare-versions
+    pool_ver ge source_full`, which short-circuited PR #76's -3
+    build.  Skipping past -4 lets the CI workflow actually publish the
+    substitution.
+  * No source code change beyond PKGREL and this changelog entry.
+    Substitution + control + build-deb.sh wiring stay as PR #76 left
+    them.

+  * Add 0003-h264-idct4-daedalus-fourier.patch — H264DSPContext.idct_add
+    (per-block 4x4 IDCT, called from the intra-4x4 decode path in
+    libavcodec/h264_mb.c) now dispatches through
+    daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct4 instead of
+    ff_h264_idct_add_neon.  First end-to-end exercise of the
+    daedalus-fourier kernel pack inside libavcodec.so on the
+    production decode hot path (daedalus-v4l2#11 step 2 — cycle 6
+    H.264 IDCT 4x4, NEON-by-recipe).
+  * build-deb.sh: fetches + builds daedalus-fourier (pinned at
+    d87239d, lockstep with the daemon's static link) with
+    -fPIC into a per-build temp prefix, then passes
+    --extra-cflags=-I.../include --extra-ldflags=-L.../lib
+    --extra-libs="-ldaedalus_core -lvulkan -lpthread" to FFmpeg
+    configure.  Static-linked into libavcodec.so.62.
+  * Bulk paths (idct_add16 / idct_add16intra / idct_add8) remain on
+    the stock NEON .S code and will be batched through
+    daedalus_recipe_dispatch_h264_idct4 with n_blocks>1 in a
+    follow-up.  Cycles 7/8/9 (IDCT 8x8 / luma-v deblock / qpel mc20)
+    land in subsequent patches.
+  * Depends gains libvulkan1 — daedalus_core PUBLIC-links Vulkan
+    (queryable QPU substrate); the no-QPU constructor still works,
+    but the loader refuses libavcodec.so.62 at dlopen time without
+    libvulkan.so.1 present.
+  * No ABI change; SONAMEs stay 62/62/60.
