-# Pin the fork tip. de27e95 = "v4l2: log error_idx + failing ctrl id
-# on S_EXT_CTRLS failure" — Phase 8.13 diagnostic that surfaced the
-# real root cause of the libva→daedalus_v4l2 request-completion
-# timeout (turned out the EINVAL libva was logging was a harmless
-# H264/HEVC probe; actual VP9 stateless control SET worked all along).
+# Pin the fork tip. c1bb444 = PR #9 merge "h264: max_num_ref_frames
+# fallback + libva-boundary instrumentation (#8)" — addresses the
+# libva-side portion of marfrit/libva-v4l2-request-fourier#8: the
+# daedalus_v4l2-via-libavcodec strict consumer rejected frames whose
+# sps.max_num_ref_frames was 0 (older ffmpeg-vaapi paths leave the
+# field unset and HW decoders tolerated it). Adds a per-profile spec
+# minimum fallback (counts valid DPB entries first; 1 for baseline /
+# 4 for main+high if even that is 0) and a one-line request_log at
+# h264_set_controls entry dumping raw VAAPI bitfields (seq_fields,
+# pic_fields, num_ref_frames, bit_depth_*) for disambiguating where
+# the still-open PPS-flag-zero portion of issue #8 originates.

-# Prior pin (7ac934e) was iter38b — fresnel-fourier multi-device probe
-# + MAX_PROFILES bounds-check fix. de27e95 added the daedalus_v4l2
-# probe slot (b5b3acf), the meson option gate (2146341), and the
-# S_EXT_CTRLS diagnostic (de27e95 itself).  c332d34 (LIBVA-1) added
-# the per-codec dispatch: rpi-hevc-dec + daedalus_v4l2 both probe each
-# other as alts, VP9/AV1/H.264 route to daedalus via new 'd' kind,
-# HEVC stays on 'p' (rpi-hevc-dec).  9898331 (LIBVA-2) completes that
-# by adding video_fd_daedalus to any_fd_supports_output_format's probe
-# array — without it, H.264/VP9/AV1 profiles never got advertised on
-# Pi 5 mixed deployments (rpi-hevc-dec primary, daedalus alt) and
-# ffmpeg bailed with "No support for codec h264 profile 578" before
-# the per-codec dispatch could fire.
