2
- * @file A piece short of a track is judged against ITS OWN header.
3
- *
4
- * The question "does this piece carry every track" has two possible answers and
5
- * they call for opposite actions, which is why asking it against the session's
6
- * cached header alone was not enough: a piece that disagrees with that header
7
- * may be short, or the header may be the odd one out. A self-contained piece
8
- * carries a `moov` of its own, so it can be compared with itself, and that
9
- * comparison tells the two apart without asking anything about encoders.
10
- *
11
- * WHAT THIS REPLACED. The action used to be chosen by "is any run of this
12
- * session alive?" — a question about the SESSION, asked about a fact of the
13
- * BYTES. A run anywhere in the film meant "still being written; waiting for
14
- * it", and nothing re-judged or re-made the piece afterwards, so one
15
- * misjudgement became permanent.
16
- *
17
- * Field 2026-09-14: `segment-00033.mp4` of a copied picture, already served
18
- * whole to one viewer at 5 099 421 bytes, was refused to a second viewer for
19
- * five minutes — four holds of sixty seconds each, then 503 — while the run in
20
- * force was at #192 and beyond. That viewer's picture stood still 196.2 s and
21
- * then a further 56.2 s.
22
- *
23
- * The run question is also unanswerable and does not need asking: a piece being
24
- * written is called `making-<tag>-NNNNN.mp4` and takes its served name by a
25
- * rename, which is atomic. A file under its served name is never being written.

2
+ * @file A piece short of a track is judged against ITS OWN header.
3
+ *
4
+ * The question "does this piece carry every track" has two possible answers and
5
+ * they call for opposite actions, which is why asking it against the session's
6
+ * cached header alone was not enough: a piece that disagrees with that header
7
+ * may be short, or the header may be the odd one out. A self-contained piece
8
+ * carries a `moov` of its own, so it can be compared with itself, and that
9
+ * comparison tells the two apart without asking anything about encoders.
10
+ *
11
+ * WHAT THIS REPLACED. The action used to be chosen by "is any run of this
12
+ * session alive?" — a question about the SESSION, asked about a fact of the
13
+ * BYTES. A run anywhere in the film meant "still being written; waiting for
14
+ * it", and nothing re-judged or re-made the piece afterwards, so one
15
+ * misjudgement became permanent.
16
+ *
17
+ * Field 2026-09-14: `segment-00033.mp4` of a copied picture, already served
18
+ * whole to one viewer at 5 099 421 bytes, was refused to a second viewer for
19
+ * five minutes — four holds of sixty seconds each, then 503 — while the run in
20
+ * force was at #192 and beyond. That viewer's picture stood still 196.2 s and
21
+ * then a further 56.2 s.
22
+ *
23
+ * The run question is also unanswerable and does not need asking: a piece being
24
+ * written is called `making-<tag>-NNNNN.mp4` and takes its served name by a
25
+ * rename, which is atomic. A file under its served name is never being written.
