…ive view Telemetry measured what left the building, but nothing published what a client CLAIMED to be watching, so the two halves of #666 could only be reconciled by a reader joining the merged view against the legacy store at read time. That is what produced the ghosts: a dead session that keeps POSTing progress still renders as a live viewer, because the legacy store counts a progress POST as liveness. A 48h soak measured ~24 ghost-shaped sessions and ~175 phantom session-hours, one caught live at 17.6h reported against 0 bytes measured, with is_paused=f and has_websocket=t so it is not the #243 paused carve-out. Each API process now publishes its playback session manager into telemetry as a reporting publisher, under its measuring publisher id plus "#reported". It reports claims only: no byte count and no viewer IP crosses that boundary, since both belong exclusively to the outermost viewer edge (§2.5). The merged view therefore holds every session anybody knows about, and evidence is a field on the row rather than a join: reported with no bytes, bytes with nothing claiming them, or both. Supporting pieces, each load-bearing: - normalizeProvenance makes provenance positional instead of self-asserted. A snapshot published under the reporting id loses any routes, bytes and viewer IPs it carries; a publisher whose only routes are relays loses any Reported state it claims. - A measuring publisher names its companion, and a declared-but-absent reporter marks the view incomplete (missing_reported_publisher). Without it, an un-upgraded process during a rolling deploy publishes measuring state only and the view calls itself complete while every paused and pre-delivery session it owns is missing. - The wire fields are additive with omitempty and codecVersion is deliberately NOT bumped, so an older publisher's records stay decodable mid-deploy. - LocalHub replaces the per-publisher LocalStore. A LocalStore holds exactly one snapshot, so two of them in one process would write reported state where nothing reads it and a non-distributed deployment would serve a "complete" view with every paused and pre-delivery session missing. - MaxPublishers 256 -> 512, because each API process now contributes two roster entries and exceeding the cap silently drops publishers from the merge. GET /api/v1/admin/sessions/live walks that view and looks up the display fields Postgres owns, deliberately not the reverse. /admin/sessions is untouched and keeps its bare-array shape; the new endpoint is feature-detected with stream_telemetry_live_sessions on /admin/sessions/capabilities. Its display join needs PlaybackSessionsQuery.SessionIDs — with only the newest-page LIMIT it would have returned title-less rows for everything past the cut. The native route manifest records it as non-media, which is the whole point of that golden: a new route that serves no media still has to be classified, and a golden nobody regenerated is a route nobody looked at. The dashboard hides sessions reported as playing that delivered nothing, with a control to reveal them and a count either way. Paused sessions are never hidden, and nothing is hidden at all while the view reports itself incomplete: the publisher holding a session's bytes may be exactly the one that is missing. Related issue: #666
…ween slices Four byte-path corrections that the reporting publisher's view makes legible. The last two came out of the 24h soak this branch just finished. Transfers were keyed on subject/file/route alone, so every viewer of one file folded into a single record and the newest capture overwrote the viewer IP and device on it. That erases the fan-out signal re-stream detection reads: two households pulling the same file read as one transfer whose address flickered. Viewer IP and device now sit in the key. The per-request folding this key exists for is unchanged — overlapping Range GETs from one viewer still make one record, which is what RequestCount and OpenObservations count — and the per-transfer observation cap stays exactly where it is, so a fan-out cannot become unbounded observation growth. The cut flag was sampled once, at ReadFrom entry, while Write samples it every ~32 KiB. That difference is protocol-visible: HTTP/2 has no ReaderFrom so it falls back through Write and a cut lands within 32 KiB, whereas an HTTP/1.1 sendfile of the same session drained the whole file — a kill switch whose behavior depends on the protocol the client happened to negotiate. httpstream.CopyChunkedUntil adds a per-slice continuation check and the observed writer uses it, so both protocols stop within one slice. A slice is the floor here: once sendfile is in flight the kernel never calls back into Go. The comment this replaces asked for exactly one thing — a test that a cut behaves identically over h1 and h2 — so TestObservedWriterReadFromCutBehavesTheSameOverH1AndH2 runs the same cut over a real httptest server on each protocol and holds both to one bound. It fails on h1 without the per-slice check. The transfer id was that identity tuple joined with NUL, and store_redis.go uses it verbatim as a Redis hash FIELD NAME. Keying per viewer, above, is what put a live example of the consequence into the keyspace on the first day of the soak: t:user<NUL>965<NUL><profile-uuid><NUL>0<NUL>GET<NUL>/Playback/BitrateTest<NUL><viewer-ip><NUL>TW96aWxsYS81... — a viewer's address and their client-supplied device id, sitting in the one place an operator reads without opening a record: SCAN, MONITOR, slowlog, an RDB dump. The id is now SHA-256 over the same tuple, truncated to 128 bits. Nothing is lost by it: TransferView already carries every component as a field, and no consumer parses the id — registry.go and store_redis.go sort by it, and the global merge never joins transfers across publishers on it. SHA-256 and not maphash, whose per-process seed would hand two publishers different ids for one logical transfer, which is the cross-publisher agreement the merge assumes. The NUL separators went with it, and that half is not cosmetic: they made `redis-cli HKEYS | grep` declare its own input binary and print nothing, which is how the soak sampler silently lost 13% of its samples. Jellyfin's /Playback/BitrateTest was transfer-class, so the megabyte of zeroes it serves counted as delivered media in every per-viewer byte total, against a MediaFileID of 0 that names no file. §4.2 wants the probe observed and cap-exempt and it stays both; it now carries ClassProbe, which folds into the transfer table the same way and tells a consumer totalling delivered bytes what to drop. Class gained foldsIntoTransfer() rather than a second == comparison, so the next class added has to answer the session-or-transfer question instead of defaulting into the session path. Related issue: #666
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds reported playback telemetry, merges it with measured delivery data, exposes a live-session admin API, and updates the dashboard. It also classifies bandwidth probes separately and adds chunk-level stream cancellation checks. ChangesLive session telemetry

Record the stop error before returning.
CopyChunkedUntil returns from both stop branches without invoking record. observedWriter.ReadFrom can therefore leave Observation.firstWriteErr unset. Since the handler marks the request complete after ReadFrom returns, Observation.outcome can classify a cut as OutcomeCompleted. Record record(0, err) before each return and add regression coverage for both protocols.

Restrict non-edge provenance before the merge.
Line 769 returns a non-reported relay unchanged. mergeSession later unions ViewerIPs and aggregates activity fields without requiring RoleViewerEgress. A relay can therefore publish a proxy address as a viewer address.
A #reported publisher also retains LastByteAccepted, LastObservationEnd, OpenObservations, and RequestCount after its routes are removed. Clear delivery-derived fields for reporting publishers. Keep ViewerIPs only when the contribution has a viewer-egress route.

Fingerprint only byte-contributing publishers.
Line 154 uses all session.Publishers, but bytes contains only viewer-edge bytes. A reporting publisher joining, leaving, or moving resets the rate even when the byte-source set is unchanged.

Pair rate samples with the returned view.
A concurrent refresh can complete after View returns a stale clone and before Line 173 locks c.rates. Live can then attach a rate from the newer view to facts from the older view for the same session ID.
Compare the cached refresh generation with status.Refreshes while holding the lock. If it changed, omit the rate from this response.

Handle the zero-session label in the reveal-only state.
Line 715 keeps the section mounted when sessions.length === 0 and source.canRevealHidden is true. In that state line 751 renders "View all 0 streams ›". This state is reachable: every reported session delivers nothing and the rows stay hidden. Hide the link when sessions.length === 0, or use a label that does not include a zero count.

Two commits: one feature, one set of byte-path fixes. Extends #667.
Related issue: #666. Builds directly on #667, which landed the measurement this depends on.
What this extends
#667 measured bytes on every serving path and merged them into one view. It deliberately
stopped at measurement: it could tell you who was receiving video, and it shipped the
parity report that compared that against the legacy session list — but it never repointed
anything, and the comparison was left for a human to interpret.
That comparison is what found #666: sessions the server had been calling "watching now"
for fifteen hours that were receiving nothing. #667's own description named the limitation
plainly — "#666 is not fixed here… fixing it needs an independent measurement to verify
against, which is an argument for landing this first."
This is the other half. The measurement now has a counterpart, so the two questions stop
being two stores that a reader has to reconcile.
Problem
The server could measure who was receiving video, but nothing published who claimed to
be watching. So the two halves could only ever be compared, never merged.
After #667 an operator had two lists and a diff between them. Telemetry knew what left the
building. The legacy session store knew what apps had said. Neither knew what the other
knew, and every consumer that wanted the real answer — the admin dashboard, the parity
report, anything that would eventually enforce a limit — had to join the two by hand at
read time and decide, case by case, which one to believe.
That reconciliation is what manufactured the ghosts. The legacy store counts a
progress update as proof of life. An app that dies badly keeps sending them, so it stays on
the "watching now" list forever. A reader joining the two lists cannot tell that apart
from an ordinary lag between two stores that update independently, so it either believes
the ghost or throws away real sessions along with it. Two live examples from this soak, on
the production server, right now:
received a single byte. The app's control socket is still open. It reports a position
of two hours fifty-eight minutes. Nothing has ever been delivered to it.
whole time. Paused sessions legitimately go quiet, which is why they were carved out
of every earlier attempt at this — so this one was simply invisible.
The other half of the gap was never visible at all: video going out to people the
session list has no row for. A third live example from the same soak:
session anywhere in the server's session list. Jellyfin direct-play requests carry no
play-session id, so the session manager never registers anything. The bandwidth is real,
it is leaving the building, and it is invisible to the admin session view and to every
concurrency count built on it.
Neither of those is a rounding error. Across a full day of production traffic, a third
of everything the server reported as "playing" had no delivery behind it, and that
figure never once dropped to zero.
Two smaller things were wrong on the byte paths themselves, both found by running the
soak rather than by reading the code:
into a record — into the name of the record. Key names are what an operator sees while
simply looking around a Redis instance, and what lands in a database dump.
delivered video. It sends a megabyte of filler that belongs to no film. Every
per-viewer byte total quietly included it.
Solution
feat(streamtelemetry): publish reported sessions and back the admin live viewEach API process now publishes its playback session manager into telemetry as a reporting
publisher, under its measuring publisher id plus
#reported(internal/streamtelemetry/reported.go).Two publishers per process, not one carrying both roles:
BuildGlobalView's rules arestated per publisher, and keeping them apart is what lets the merge say "the edge measured
this, the session manager claimed that" without either side having to trust the other.
ReportedSessioncarries no byte count and no viewer address, and there is no field to putone in. Both belong exclusively to the outermost viewer edge (§2.5), and a session manager
is not one — making it unrepresentable is cheaper than remembering not to set it.
The merged view is now complete by construction, and evidence is a field on the row
instead of a join:
Supporting pieces, each load-bearing:
normalizeProvenancemakes provenance positional rather than self-asserted. A snapshotpublished under the reporting id loses any routes, bytes and viewer IPs it carries; a
publisher whose only routes are relays loses any reported state it claims.
the view incomplete (
missing_reported_publisher). Without it, an un-upgraded processmid-rolling-deploy publishes measuring state only and the view calls itself complete
while every paused and pre-delivery session it owns is missing.
omitemptyandcodecVersionis deliberately notbumped, so an older publisher's records stay decodable mid-deploy.
LocalHubreplaces the per-publisherLocalStore. ALocalStoreholds exactly onesnapshot, so two in one process would write reported state where nothing reads it, and a
non-distributed deployment would serve a "complete" view with every paused and
pre-delivery session missing.
MaxPublishers256 → 512, because each API process now contributes two roster entriesand exceeding the cap silently drops publishers from the merge.
GET /api/v1/admin/sessions/live(internal/api/handlers/admin_live_sessions.go) walksthat view and looks up the display fields Postgres owns — deliberately not the reverse.
Reading the legacy projection and filtering it against telemetry is the read-time
reconciliation this PR exists to delete.
/admin/sessionsis untouched and keeps its barearray; the new endpoint is feature-detected with
stream_telemetry_live_sessionson/admin/sessions/capabilities. Its display join needsPlaybackSessionsQuery.SessionIDs—with only the newest-page
LIMITit would have returned title-less rows for everythingpast the cut. Documented in
docs/admin-api.md.The dashboard hides sessions reported as playing that delivered nothing, with a control to
reveal them and a count either way. Paused sessions are never hidden, and nothing is
hidden at all while the view reports itself incomplete — the publisher holding a
session's bytes may be exactly the one that is missing.
fix(streamtelemetry): key transfers per viewer and sample the cut between slicesFour byte-path corrections. The first two make the view above legible; the last two came
out of the soak.
Transfers were keyed on subject/file/route alone, so every viewer of one file folded
into a single record and the newest capture overwrote the viewer IP and device on it. That
erases the fan-out signal re-stream detection reads: two households pulling the same file
read as one transfer whose address flickered. Viewer IP and device now sit in the identity.
Per-request folding is unchanged — overlapping
RangeGETs from one viewer still make onerecord — and the per-transfer observation cap stays put, so fan-out cannot become unbounded
observation growth.
The cut flag was sampled once, at
ReadFromentry, whileWritesamples it every~32 KiB. That difference is protocol-visible: HTTP/2 has no
ReaderFromso it falls backthrough
Writeand a cut lands within 32 KiB, whereas an HTTP/1.1 sendfile of the samesession drained the whole file — a kill switch whose behavior depends on which protocol the
client happened to negotiate.
httpstream.CopyChunkedUntiladds a per-slice continuationcheck. A slice is the floor: once sendfile is in flight the kernel never calls back into Go.
TestObservedWriterReadFromCutBehavesTheSameOverH1AndH2runs the same cut over a realhttptestserver on each protocol and holds both to one bound; it fails on h1 without thecheck.
The transfer id was that identity tuple joined with NUL, and
store_redis.go:78used itverbatim as a Redis hash field name. Keying per viewer, above, is what put a live example
into the keyspace on day one of the soak — a viewer's address and their client-supplied
device id, in the one place an operator reads without opening a record, and the one place
that survives into
SCAN,MONITOR, slowlog and an RDB dump. The id is now SHA-256 overthe same tuple truncated to 128 bits (
registry.go:transferKey). Nothing is lost:TransferViewalready carries every component as a field, and no consumer parses the id —registry.goandstore_redis.gosort by it, and the global merge never joins transfersacross publishers on it. SHA-256 and not
maphash, whose per-process seed would hand twopublishers different ids for one logical transfer, which is the cross-publisher agreement
the merge assumes. The NUL separators went with it, and that half is not cosmetic: they

Jellyfin's
/Playback/BitrateTestwas transfer-class, so the megabyte of zeroes itserves counted as delivered media in every per-viewer byte total, against a
MediaFileIDof 0 that names no file. §4.2 wants the probe observed and cap-exempt and it stays both; it
now carries

sessions and one client looping, and the retention sweep had already pruned it correctly.
