dailz ed39d3d873 ci: add build/test/clippy gate + cargo audit; pin rust-version
Oracle P2 plan step 1+2+missed-fields. Locks in the audit cleanup so
future PRs can't regress the 0-errors / deny-unsafe / 79-tests baseline.

  - .github/workflows/ci.yml: two jobs on ubuntu-latest (Linux only —
    project is Wayland/VAAPI-specific, no macOS/Windows story).
      * build-test: installs ffmpeg + libavcodec/libavformat/libavutil/
        libswscale/libva dev + libwayland + libdrm + libpipewire-0.3-dev
        + libclang-dev/llvm-14 (LIBCLANG_PATH pinned); caches cargo +
        target; runs clippy -> build --release -> test --release.
        Release build before tests is mandatory because
        tests/integration_test.rs shells out to target/release/wl-webrtc.
      * audit: installs cargo-audit and runs 'cargo audit --deny warnings'
        as a separate job so a RUSTSEC advisory fails the build
        independently of compile state.
    No -D warnings on clippy yet — undocumented_unsafe_blocks is already
    deny via Cargo.toml; remaining warnings are advisory and can be
    tightened later.

  - Cargo.toml: pin rust-version = '1.70' to match README's claim.
    Without this, cargo builds silently on older toolchains and surfaces
    errors as cryptic parse failures instead of a clean version-mismatch
    message. Oracle flagged this as a missing field during P2 review.

License field intentionally omitted — repo has no LICENSE file and no
publication plan yet. Add when publication becomes a goal.

Verified locally: YAML parses, cargo build --release Finished in 9.82s,
cargo test --release 79 passed, cargo clippy 0 errors.

wl-webrtc

Wayland screen capture and encoding tool.

Prerequisites

  • Rust toolchain (1.70+): 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).
