dailz bcfbd93f5a refactor(state_portal): extract bitrate helpers + thread loops to submodules
Step 3: split state_portal.rs (1241 -> 829 LOC) into three modules.

- src/state_portal.rs (829 LOC): keeps StatePortal struct + impl (with
  poll_and_encode / handle_pw_frame / shutdown / etc.) + Drop + PortalStage
  enum + DRM helpers + DRM tests. Per Oracle/Explore audit, all 21
  StatePortal fields are private and poll_and_encode interleaves three
  channel reads with state-machine transitions; moving it would force
  pub(crate) on every field, so it stays in mod.rs.
- src/state_portal/bitrate.rs (144 LOC): RESOLUTION_TIERS + 4 pure fns
  (resolution_bitrate_bps / webrtc_startup_bitrate_bps / select_resolution /
  next_upscale_tier) + 10 tests that exercise them. Pure fns with no
  StatePortal field access — the cleanest possible extract.
- src/state_portal/threads.rs (287 LOC): the 5 thread-related types
  (EncodeThreadTiming / EncodeThread / WebrtcThread / WebRtcThreadConfig /
  WebRtcThreadChannels) + the two free fns encode_thread_loop /
  webrtc_thread_loop + the 3 channel-semantics regression tests
  (try_send_* / shutdown_rx_drop_*) that document crossbeam invariants
  the shutdown logic relies on. Struct fields widened to pub(super) so
  StatePortal in mod.rs can construct and join them.

Test preservation:
- state_portal test count: 17 (mod.rs=4 drm tests + bitrate.rs=10 +
  threads.rs=3 channel tests) — matches baseline.

Verification (all green):
- cargo build / cargo build --release
- cargo test (79 lib + 3 integration = 82 pass, 1 ignored — unchanged)
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
- cargo fmt --check

wl-webrtc

Wayland screen capture and encoding tool.

Prerequisites

  • Rust toolchain (1.87+; MSRV pinned to match u32::is_multiple_of / Option::is_none_or usage): rustup default stable
  • FFmpeg 6.0+ dev libraries with VAAPI support:
    • Arch: pacman -S ffmpeg
    • Ubuntu/Debian: apt install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libva-dev
    • Fedora: dnf install ffmpeg-devel libva-devel
  • Wayland dev libraries:
    • Arch: pacman -S wayland-protocols
    • Ubuntu/Debian: apt install libwayland-dev wayland-protocols
    • Fedora: dnf install wayland-devel wayland-protocols-devel
  • DRM dev libraries:
    • Arch: pacman -S libdrm
    • Ubuntu/Debian: apt install libdrm-dev
    • Fedora: dnf install libdrm-devel

Build

cargo build --release

Run

# Basic capture to file
wl-webrtc --output output.mp4

# With custom FPS and bitrate
wl-webrtc --output output.mp4 --fps 60 --bitrate 8000000

# Specify DRM device for hardware encoding
wl-webrtc --output output.mp4 --drm-device /dev/dri/renderD128

# Verbose mode
wl-webrtc --output output.mp4 -v

# WebRTC streaming mode (HTTP signaling server)
wl-webrtc --port 8080 -v

# Force a fresh portal authorization dialog (ignore saved restore token)
wl-webrtc --output output.mp4 --no-persist

# Pin the capture backend instead of auto-detecting
wl-webrtc --output output.mp4 --backend portal    # or: --backend screencopy

CLI Arguments

src/args.rs is the authoritative source. Run wl-webrtc --help for the live list.

Argument Default Description
-o, --output (optional) Output file path (e.g. output.mp4). Optional when using --port for WebRTC mode.
--output-name auto Wayland output name to capture
--fps 30 Target frames per second
--codec h264 Video codec (h264 only for MVP)
--hw-accel vaapi Hardware acceleration method
--drm-device auto DRM render device path
--bitrate auto Target bitrate in bps
--max-bitrate 8000000 Max bitrate cap for WebRTC mode (caps BWE escalation; no effect in MP4 mode)
--gop-size auto Group of Pictures size
-v, --verbose false Enable verbose logging
--backend auto Capture backend: screencopy (wlroots) or portal (KWin/KDE). Auto-detected if omitted.
--port 0 WebRTC HTTP signaling server port. 0 keeps MP4 file output mode.
--no-persist false Force re-authorization (ignore saved portal restore token)
--stats false Print per-second pipeline statistics for stutter diagnosis

Capture backends

The tool supports two Wayland capture backends, auto-detected by default:

  • wlr-screencopy (preferred when zwlr_screencopy_manager_v1 is advertised): works on wlroots-based compositors (Sway, Hyprland, etc.).
  • XDG Portal / PipeWire (fallback when D-Bus ScreenCast is available): works on KWin/KDE and any compositor that implements the XDG Desktop Portal screen-cast protocol. The first run shows an authorization dialog; a restore token is cached under wl-webrtc/portal-restore-token so subsequent runs don't re-prompt (use --no-persist to force a fresh authorization).
