+Subject: [PATCH] avcodec/h264: preserve sl->mb coefficients for the inspection
+ callback (companion to 0016)
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Patch 0016 adds a per-MB inspection callback fired at the end of
+ff_h264_hl_decode_mb.  By that time the IDCT-add path has already
+zeroed sl->mb (FFmpeg's convention — see ff_h264_idct_add_neon and
+friends), so consumers reading coefficients from the callback get
+zeros.
+
+Add a coefficient side buffer in H264Context, populated at the
+START of ff_h264_hl_decode_mb (before any IDCT runs) with a single
+memcpy from sl->mb.  The post-pixel-work callback (still in 0016)
+can then read both:
+  - the side-buffer coefficients (= just-entropy-decoded, pre-IDCT)
+  - the reconstructed pixels in h->cur_pic.f->data (= P + IDCT(C),
+    pre-deblock for this MB)
+and the consumer can derive P = pixels − IDCT(C) for daedalus-
+decoder's frame-major dispatch.
+
+Memcpy is gated on (h->mb_inspect_cb != NULL) — zero overhead when
+no consumer is registered.  Buffer size = sizeof(int16_t) * 16 * 48
+= 1536 bytes per H264Context (fits in one cache line family;
+allocated once at H264Context lifetime, reused per MB).
+
+8-bit path only.  High-bit-depth H.264 uses the upper half of
+sl->mb (int16_t[16 * 48 * 2] declared; the * 2 reserves space for
+the high-depth case); preserving the high-depth coefficients
+correctly would need a wider side buffer.  Punted for now — the
+daedalus-decoder consumer is 8-bit-only.
+
+Single-threaded decode assumed at the consumer side (avctx->
+thread_count = 1).  Multi-slice / multi-threaded streams would
+race on the single side buffer — that's an explicit limitation of
+the inspection mechanism, documented in 0016's comment block.
+Future extension: per-H264SliceContext side buffers.
+
+Used by:
+  - daedalus-decoder/tools/daedalus_decode_h264 PR-A3+ (CLI test
+    harness extracts coefficients here for daedalus-decoder
+    IDCT validation on real H.264 streams).
+
+Refs reauktion/daedalus-decoder!14 (PR-A2 callback wiring).
