-## Sinks (per-client sample persistence)
+## Sinks
 
-A **sink** receives the samples a client accepts — for archival, streaming, or later offline
-replay. Each `ObservedClient` gets its **own** sink, produced by the
-`ObserverConfig.createClientSink` factory when the client is created (return `undefined` for no
-sink). The client pushes every accepted sample to its sink, and `end()`s it on close.
+A **sink** is a destination for records — client samples, a mediasoup transport's `getStats()`,
+anything the application wants to keep. Sinks are agnostic about what passes through them; their
+**lifecycle is owned by the object they are registered on**, through that object's `sinks`
+registry. The library never polls: what is written, and when, is the application's.
 
-### The `ClientSampleSink` base class
+| Registry | Ended when | Typical use |
+|----------|-----------|-------------|
+| `observer.sinks` | the observer closes | worker- or process-level stats |
+| `observedCall.sinks` | the call closes | each client's sample sink (under its client id), call-level stats |
+| `observedMediasoupRouter.sinks` | the router closes | e.g. one file per pipe transport |
 
-`ClientSampleSink` is an **abstract base class** (a typed `EventEmitter`). You create a sink by
-**subclassing it** and implementing `write` and `end`. It is **object-mode**: `write` receives
-the `ClientSample` *object*, so each sink decides how (or whether) to serialize it — JSON line,
-protobuf, a remote POST body, an in-memory push, etc.
+`observer.sinks` is the parent of every call's and router's registry. **Sink ids are unique per
+observer**: creating a sink with an id that any registry of the observer already holds is refused
+(`create` returns `undefined`, and nothing is constructed). A registry sees its own sinks and its descendants', so `observer.sinks.write(id, record)`
+reaches any sink, and `observer.close()` ends every sink that is left — including those of routers
+that are still open, since the observer does not close mediasoup routers.
 
-```ts
-import { ClientSampleSink, ClientSample } from '@observertc/observer-js';
+### `SinkRegistry`
+
+| Method | Does |
+|--------|------|
+| `create(SinkClass, settings)` | constructs `new SinkClass(settings)` and registers it under `settings.id` (generated when omitted); `undefined` if the id is taken |
+| `get<T>(id)` | the sink, if any (own or a descendant's) |
+| `write(id, record): boolean` | writes to the sink; `false` if there is none, or on backpressure |
+| `clear()` | ends every sink of the registry and its descendants |
+| `size`, `keys()`, `values()` | own and descendants' sinks |
+
+There is no `remove`: **`sink.end()` closes a sink and removes it from its registry**, which frees
+its id. The registry attaches an `error` listener to each sink, so a failing destination is logged
+and never crashes the process.
 
-abstract class ClientSampleSink /* extends EventEmitter */ {
-  abstract write(sample: ClientSample): boolean;   // accept one sample; `false` = backpressure
-  abstract end(): void;                            // flush; emit `close` when the destination is ready
+### The `Sink<T>` interface
 
-  // typed events (inherited): the listener signature is inferred from the event name
-  on(event: 'close' | 'finish' | 'drain', listener: () => void): this;
-  on(event: 'error', listener: (err: Error) => void): this;
-  // ...and the matching `once` / `off` / `emit`

+import type { Sink, SinkSettings } from '@observertc/observer-js';
+
+interface Sink<T = unknown> {          // typically: class X extends EventEmitter implements Sink<T>
+  readonly id: string;
+  write(record: T): boolean;           // `false` once ended (nothing written), or on backpressure
+  end(): void;                         // idempotent; MUST emit `ended` synchronously, then flush and emit `close`
+  on / once / off(event, listener);    // the events below
 }
+
+type SinkSettings = { id: string };    // what `create` passes to the constructor, with your own settings
 ```
 
+An implementation must emit `ended` from `end()` — that is how its registry removes it and frees
+its id — refuse writes after it, and emit `close` / `error` for its destination.
+
 | Event | Meaning |
 |-------|---------|
+| `ended` | `end()` was called: no more writes, removed from its registry |
 | `close` | the destination is fully written and closed (e.g. a file flushed and its fd closed) — "ready" |
 | `error` | the destination failed |
 | `finish` | `end()` was processed and queued data flushed (before `close`) |
 | `drain` | the buffer drained after backpressure; safe to write more |
 
-The library calls `write(sample)` **synchronously** per accepted sample (it is not awaited),
-`end()`s the sink when the client closes, and attaches an `error` listener so a failing sink
-can't crash the process (it also catches throws from `write`/`end`). The application — which
-created the sink — listens for `close` (destination ready) and `error`. Because `write` isn't
-awaited in the `accept()` hot path, **backpressure and batching are the sink's concern**.

-### Reading sink-specific info (e.g. the file path)
+### Client samples
 
-The bus hands you the sink as the base `ClientSampleSink`. To read information specific to a sink
-type — for a file sink, where it was written — **narrow with `instanceof`** and read the sink's
-public fields. `JsonlFileSink` exposes `path`:
+A client writes every accepted sample to the sink registered under its **client id** in its call's
+registry (`observedClient.sink` returns it), and removes — ends — that sink when it closes. For the
+common case, a JSONL file per client, return a path from `createClientJsonlSink`:
 
 ```ts
-import { JsonlFileSink } from '@observertc/observer-js';
+const observer = new Observer({
+  // return undefined for no file
+  createClientJsonlSink: ({ observedCall, clientId }) => `./stats/${observedCall.callId}__${clientId}.jsonl`,
+});
 
 observer.on('client-sink-created', ({ observedClient, sink }) => {
-  if (sink instanceof JsonlFileSink) {
-    const { path } = sink;                          // the file this client's samples go to
-    sink.once('close', () => uploadFile(path));     // close = flushed & fd closed → ready
-  }
+  sink.once('close', () => uploadFile(sink.path));   // flushed & fd closed → ready
 });
 ```
 
-The general pattern: each concrete sink exposes whatever it wants as `public readonly` fields, and
-consumers narrow (`instanceof YourSink`) to read them. Your own sinks do the same.
-
-### Writing your own sink
-
-Subclass `ClientSampleSink` and emit the lifecycle events yourself — for any non-file
-destination (a remote endpoint, a message queue, an object store, …):
+For any other destination, create your own sink under the client id when the client is created:
 
 ```ts
-import { ClientSampleSink, ClientSample, ClientSampleSinkFactory } from '@observertc/observer-js';
-
-class HttpSink extends ClientSampleSink {
+class HttpSink extends EventEmitter implements ClientSampleSink {
+  readonly id: string;
+  private readonly url: string;
   private buffer: ClientSample[] = [];
-  constructor(private readonly url: string) { super(); }
+  private ended = false;
 
+  constructor(settings: SinkSettings & { url: string }) {
+    super();
+    this.id = settings.id;
+    this.url = settings.url;
+  }
   write(sample: ClientSample): boolean {
+    if (this.ended) return false;
     this.buffer.push(sample);                  // batch; decide your own backpressure
     return true;
   }
   end(): void {
+    if (this.ended) return;
+    this.ended = true;
+    this.emit('ended');                        // required: removes it from its registry
     fetch(this.url, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(this.buffer) })
       .then(() => this.emit('close'))          // signal "destination ready"
       .catch((err) => this.emit('error', err));
   }
 }
 
-const createClientSink: ClientSampleSinkFactory = ({ clientId, observedCall }) =>
-  new HttpSink(`https://stats.example.com/${observedCall.callId}/${clientId}`);
+observer.on('client-added', ({ observedCall, observedClient }) => {
+  observedCall.sinks.create(HttpSink, { id: observedClient.clientId, url: `https://stats.example.com/${observedClient.clientId}` });
+});
+```
+
+Client ids double as sink ids, so they must be unique across the observer's open calls (client
+monitors generate uuids). A client whose id is already a sink id gets no sample file, and a
+warning is logged.
+
+The library calls `write(sample)` **synchronously** per accepted sample (it is not awaited), so
+**backpressure and batching are the sink's concern**.
+
+### Extension stats
+
+Stats the library does not collect itself can be kept as **extension stats** on the object they
+belong to — `observer` (e.g. a mediasoup worker's resource usage), `observedCall` (an SFU's view of
+the call) or `observedMediasoupRouter` (a pipe transport's `getStats()`): the last data per id, and
+optionally a sink that receives every data. The API is the same on all three; a call is shown.
+
+```ts
+// Register the id; with `createSink` (what `sinks.create` takes), a sink is created under the same id.
+call.createExtensionStats({ id: `${call.callId}:sfu`, createSink: [ JsonlFileSink<SfuStats>, { path: './stats/sfu.jsonl' } ] });
+
+// Your own polling: keep the last data, and write it to the sink with the same id, if any.
+call.acceptExtensionStats(`${call.callId}:sfu`, await collectSfuStats(call.callId));
+
+call.getExtensionStats<SfuStats>(`${call.callId}:sfu`);   // the last data
+call.extensionStats.values;                               // Map<id, last data>
+```
 
-const observer = new Observer({ createClientSink });
+| Method | Behaviour |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `createExtensionStats({ id, createSink? })` | Registers `id`. With `createSink` — what `sinks.create` takes, `[SinkClass, settings]` — it also creates a sink under `id` (an `id` in the sink settings is ignored), ending and replacing a sink the owner already holds under `id`. Returns the created sink, or `undefined`: without `createSink`, on a closed owner, when `id` is already in `extensionStats.values` (created or accepted before), or when another object of the observer holds a sink with this id |
+| `acceptExtensionStats(id, data)` | Keeps `data` as the last data of `id` and writes it to the owner's sink with the same id, if there is one (a sink that throws is logged). `id` does not have to be created first. Dropped once the owner is closed |
+| `getExtensionStats<T>(id)` | The last data accepted for `id`, or `undefined` |
+| `extensionStats` | The owner's `ExtensionStatsRegistry`: `values` (`Map<id, last data>`), `closed`, `close()`, and `create` / `accept` / `get`, which the three methods above delegate to |
+
+**Extension stats ids share the sink id namespace, so they must be unique per observer**: the sink
+of extension stats `x` is the sink with id `x`. Consequently:
+
+- With `createSink`, a sink the owner already holds under the id is ended and replaced. If another
+  object of the observer holds it, no sink is created and the data is only kept.
+- Without `createSink`, a sink you create later under the id (`sinks.create(SinkClass, { id, ... })`)
+  receives the data accepted from then on.
+- An id accepted before it was created can no longer be created with `createSink`; give it a sink
+  with `sinks.create` instead.
+
+**Lifecycle.** When the owner (the call, the router or the observer) closes, it closes its
+`extensionStats`: data accepted afterwards is dropped, `createExtensionStats` returns `undefined`,
+and the extension stats' sinks are ended. The owner's other sinks end with its `sinks.clear()` as
+usual. `extensionStats.close()` can also be called directly; it ends only the extension stats'
+sinks.
+
+### Other records: e.g. mediasoup pipe transport stats
+
+```ts
+const observedRouter = observer.createObservedMediasoupRouter({ router })!;
+
+observedRouter.on('transport-sample-added', ({ transport }) => {
+  if (transport.type !== 'pipe') return;
+
+  observedRouter.sinks.create(JsonlFileSink<PipeTransportStats[]>, { id: transport.id, path: `./stats/${transport.id}.jsonl` });
+
+  // Your own polling. A write to an ended sink returns false, so a late getStats() is harmless.
+  const timer = setInterval(async () => observedRouter.sinks.write(transport.id, await transport.getStats()), 5_000);
+
+  transport.observer.once('close', () => clearInterval(timer));
+});
 ```
