feat(webxr): hold warm-up watchdogs while the server sends idle frames

[gareth-morgan-nv]

Summary

While no OpenXR app is submitting frames, the server sends small keep-alive "idle" frames (frame metadata with is_empty_frame = true, plus a tiny blank video frame with RTP timestamp 0). The client's decoder counts those as warm-up frames, so the warm-up-end timer started on them and disconnected a session that was only waiting for an app to start. The client cannot otherwise tell "no app yet" (wait) from "app running but warm-up stuck" (time out and retry).

The server-side idle frame is observable through a Received idle frame debug log. This PR teaches CloudXRComponent to use it:

• Hold the watchdogs: while that log keeps arriving, cancel the warm-up begin/end timers and do not arm the end timer from warm-up logs. Once no idle frame has arrived for 1 s, or a pose-backed frame renders, resume the watchdog for whichever warm-up phase is still pending.
• onIdleStatus / IdleStatus: new optional callback mirroring onWarmupStatus: {framesSeen, timestamp, active}, fired on each idle frame (active: true) and once when idle ends (active: false).
• Idle ends on real video (a RenderFramerate tick), when warm-up completes, and at attempt boundaries (stream stop, WebXR session end), so onIdleStatus never stays active: true across a disconnect or retry; the quiet timer never re-arms a watchdog after real video has been seen in the attempt.
• Mock and tests: MockCloudXR.startIdleFrames() / stopIdleFrames() emulate the log (and the mock renders nothing while idle). In StreamAttachTimeoutTest, attempt 4 fails the session mid-idle and checks idle is reported inactive before the retry; attempt 5 rides out idle frames for 3x the warm-up budgets before warm-up completes; a second test (?scenario=real-video-after-idle) checks real video after idle does not re-arm a watchdog.

Behavior today

Inert. The log is not currently emitted by CloudXR.js, and the session logLevel is still Info, so none of this runs until a release that emits it is consumed and the level includes Debug. A connected app that hangs and stops submitting frames is indistinguishable from "no app" while idle frames flow; that needs a host-side app-presence signal and is out of scope here.

Test plan

• jest (119 tests), eslint, prettier, SKIP=check-copyright-year pre-commit run --all-files clean; tsc --noEmit shows no errors in the touched files
• StreamAttachTimeoutTest.spec.js (both tests) passes 3/3 on this branch rebased on main; each new check fails if its fix is reverted
• Playwright specs are not run in CI, so that run is local only

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added idle-stream status reporting, including whether an idle period is active, the number of idle frames seen, and the latest update time.
  • Streaming warm-up now accounts for idle frames and resumes its normal tracking after idle frames stop. Warm-up completion also ends the reported idle period.

📝 Walkthrough

CloudXRComponent detects eligible SDK idle-frame logs and reports idle status through an optional callback. It pauses warm-up watchdogs while idle frames arrive and restarts the appropriate watchdog after 1000 ms without another idle frame. The mock can emit idle-frame logs, and the timeout test checks active and inactive idle-status events around warm-up completion.

Idle-frame handling does not take effect yet, because the SDK does not emit the required log at the configured level. Once that signal arrives, a watchdog could also re-arm after real video has started and disconnect a healthy stream. Current production impact is limited, but the re-arm guard should be fixed before this path is enabled.

- Around line 745-748: Update the idle-frame handling in the message handler so
production sessions can detect idle frames through an SDK signal they actually
emit, rather than relying on the unavailable Debug log. Configure that signal’s
delivery before the handler depends on it, and preserve the existing session and
stream-start guards around noteIdleFrame.
- Around line 533-537: Update the idle-period guard around warmupStatusRef and
the watchdog timer calls so a successful RenderFramerate metric also ends the
idle period. Track that render-metric success and return before re-arming either
watchdog when it has occurred, even if warmupStatusRef.current.completed is
still false.

Summary

Reviewed 7d8ed06b with separate readability, conciseness, correctness, and repository-instructions passes, applying the global guidelines and both applicable repository AGENTS.md files. The change implements idle status reporting and pauses warm-up watchdogs while idle logs arrive. The attempt-boundary cleanup and real-video guard address the earlier review findings. One remaining path bypasses idle suspension when configuration changes; two smaller improvements are below. Readability and repository-policy review found no additional issues. The current SDK/log-level limitation is explicitly documented and treated as intentional preparatory scope, rather than repeating CodeRabbit's finding.

Legend: 🚫 Blocker · 💡 Suggestion · 🔍 Nit

	Finding
💡	Correctness — deps/cloudxr/webxr_client/helpers/react/CloudXRComponent.tsx:543, interacting with :623–626: config changes still unconditionally re-arm a warm-up watchdog while idle is active. With the last idle log at t=0, a config change at t=100ms, and a supported 500ms warm-up budget, the watchdog disconnects at t=600ms, before the one-second quiet period ends; the intended deadline is t=1500ms. With a later config change, quiet expiry can also arm a second timer and overwrite the ref to the first, leaving an uncancellable watchdog. Preserve idle suspension in the config re-registration path and ensure each warm-up phase owns at most one timer.
💡	Regression coverage — deps/cloudxr/webxr_client/tests/mock/StreamAttachTimeoutTest.tsx:108: attempt 5 completes warm-up within the resumed watchdog budget. It still succeeds if the quiet callback stops arming watchdogs entirely; the other new scenario intentionally requires no watchdog after real video. Add idle-then-silence scenarios with no completion/real video, covering both “warm-up never began” and “warm-up began but stalled,” and assert the appropriate timeout/retry after quiet plus the phase budget. Include the config-change case above.
🔍	Conciseness — deps/cloudxr/webxr_client/helpers/react/CloudXRComponent.tsx:342: idleFramesActiveRef duplicates idleStatusRef.current.active. Use the status field for idle guards and transitions, removing the extra ref and assignments, so attempt reset and idle termination maintain one source of truth.

Validation: git diff --check origin/main...HEAD passed. A dependency-free harness executing the actual endIdle/noteIdleFrame callbacks and config re-arm block verified quiet-period phase selection, completed/real-video guards, and cancellation, and reproduced the config-change timing issue above; it is not a React/browser integration test. I did not rerun Jest or Playwright: this checkout lacks the local SDK tarball and installed dependencies. The requested local pre-commit invocation could not start because pre_commit is unavailable. GitHub reports pre-commit and Build Teleop Web App passing; the build matrix was still running when checked. The PR author's reported test runs were not independently repeated.

Agent-generated suggestions, not human-vetted obligations. Skip anything wrong, already addressed, or not worth the churn.

• deps/cloudxr/webxr_client/helpers/react/CloudXRComponent.tsx:623 — skip config-triggered warm-up re-arming while idle is active; clear an existing phase timer before replacing it so no timer becomes orphaned.
• deps/cloudxr/webxr_client/tests/mock/StreamAttachTimeoutTest.tsx:108 — add quiet-expiry timeout/retry checks for both pending phases, plus a config update during the final idle quiet window; ensure these fail when recovery or suspension is removed.
• deps/cloudxr/webxr_client/helpers/react/CloudXRComponent.tsx:342 — replace idleFramesActiveRef reads/writes with idleStatusRef.current.active and remove the redundant ref.

Re: @AndreusNvidius's review — #1260 (review)

#1260 merged before this review's fixes landed, so all three went into follow-up #1262:

• 💡 Config change re-arms a watchdog during idle: fixed. The config re-registration path now skips re-arming while idle is active or after real video was seen, and each arm function clears any existing timer before replacing it.
• 💡 Regression coverage: added idle-then-silence scenarios (warm-up never began, warm-up stalled) that require the timeout no earlier than the quiet period plus the phase budget after the last idle frame, plus a scenario with config changes during idle and inside the quiet window. Reverting the config guard fails the config-change scenario, and making the quiet callback never re-arm fails all three idle-silence scenarios.
• 🔍 Duplicate ref: idleFramesActiveRef is removed; idleStatusRef.current.active is the single source of truth.
