+
+## What This Report Answers
+
+The three-tier evaluation checks whether the skill:
+
+- is safe to use;
+- produces correct answers;
+- is discovered and activated when needed;
+- helps the agent complete the user's goal and expected workflow; and
+- avoids wasted skill and tool usage.
+
+## Results at a Glance
+
+| Measure | Claude Code (Baseline → Skill Uplift) | Codex (Baseline → Skill Uplift) |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Overall | 47% → 97% (+50 points) | 49% → 92% (+43 points) |
+| Security | 100% → 100% (±0 points) | 86% → 100% (+14 points) |
+| Correctness | 51% → 100% (+49 points) | 69% → 83% (+14 points) |
+| Discoverability | 28% → 100% (+72 points) | 48% → 94% (+46 points) |
+| Effectiveness | 36% → 84% (+48 points) | 32% → 90% (+58 points) |
+| Efficiency | 19% → 100% (+81 points) | 11% → 92% (+82 points) |
+
+**How to read this table:** baseline is the same task attempted without the target skill. Uplift is `skill score - baseline score`, shown in percentage points.
+
+Example: `47% → 92% (+45 points)` means the skill-assisted run scored 92%, 45 percentage points above its 47% no-skill baseline.
+
+## Tier Status

+## Scoring Methodology
+
+
+Show dimension definitions, source signals, and thresholds
+
+| Dimension | Question | Scored signals |
+|---|---|---|
+| Security | Is it safe to use? | `security` (100%) |
+| Correctness | Is the answer correct? | `accuracy` (100%) |
+| Discoverability | Was the right skill loaded when needed? | `skill_execution` (100%) |
+| Effectiveness | Did the skill help complete the task? | `goal_accuracy` (50%) + `behavior_check` (50%) |
+| Efficiency | Did it avoid wasted tool or skill usage? | `skill_efficiency` (100%) |
+
+- Dimension bands: PASS at 50% or above; NEUTRAL from 40% to below 50%; FAIL below 40%.
+- Overall Tier 3 lift: PASS at +5 points or more; FAIL at -10 points or less; values between those bands are NEUTRAL.
+- Overall verdict: PASS only when every configured dimension passes for at least one supported agent. Lift is reported as diagnostic evidence and does not override this gate.
+- The 50% attempt pass threshold is a separate per-task gate; it is not the dimension pass threshold.
+- Effectiveness is the equal-weight mean of goal completion (`goal_accuracy`) and expected workflow adherence (`behavior_check`).
+- Token efficiency is a separate report-only signal. It does not change a dimension score or the overall verdict.
+
+Signals present in this run:
+
+- `security` (Security): unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
+- `skill_execution` (Skill Execution): whether the expected skill was found and executed.
+- `skill_efficiency` (Efficiency): routing quality, workspace-aware skill reads, and productive tool use.
+- `accuracy` (Accuracy): final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
+- `goal_accuracy` (Goal Accuracy): whether the user's goal was achieved.
+- `behavior_check` (Behavior Check): whether the expected workflow behavior was followed.
+
+
+
+## Freshness
+
+Regenerate this benchmark when the skill, evaluation dataset, target agent/model, evaluator version, environment, or scoring policy changes.

+# Jetson Video Benchmark
+
+## Purpose
+
+Measure codec-stage FPS and megapixels/second on the current Jetson. Use this
+skill for encode or decode throughput, P4/P5 comparisons, native-versus-Python
+comparisons, and increasing-worker capacity tests. When content is unavailable,
+it can instead produce a clearly labeled SDK-documentation estimate for an
+exact supported 1080p table row and target maximum video clock. For another
+requested resolution, it may additionally apply the bounded pixel-area
+heuristic defined in the estimate reference. Never present either estimate as
+a target measurement.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- For a live measurement:
+ - Run on the target Jetson with direct GPU access. A fresh validated
+ `nvcodec-environment` identity from `jetson-video-setup` is optional; when
+ supplied, it is authoritative and any invalid or stale identity fails
+ without local fallback. The agent may obtain that identity from setup's
+ public read-only probe; it need not be present in the customer's prompt.
+ - Without that identity, native routes inspect only the installed
+ `nvidia-video-codec-sdk` APT package and its package-owned official sample
+ sources. PyNvVideoCodec routes require an authenticated setup environment
+ or the caller's exact absolute `pynvc_interpreter`; never scan for a venv.
+ Before asking the customer for that path, invoke setup's public probe when
+ that skill is installed and inspect its typed result. These read-only
+ checks install, repair, register, and smoke-test nothing. Only when neither
+ authority is usable does an explicit `pynvc` or `both` request return
+ `input_required`; local `auto` records PyNvVideoCodec as `not_evaluated`
+ and may continue an eligible native branch.
+ - A PyNvVideoCodec decode-only performance route can use a validated default
+ `pynvc-smoke` environment. A Python encode or compare route uses official
+ samples that import Torch and therefore requires a separately provisioned
+ `full-samples` venv; never upgrade the smoke venv in place.
+ - Live encode, compare, and encode-capacity routes require sibling
+ `jetson-video-recipe` and an exact portable identity for one of its
+ validated schema-2 recipes. If its public validator is absent, preserve
+ `dependency_required` and its install-and-retry action. Decode routes do
+ not require the recipe skill.
+ - When setup is installed, read its shared
+ [video content policy](../jetson-video-setup/references/video-content.md)
+ before a live measurement. It does not apply to the separate
+ documentation-only estimate path. Setup is not required solely for this
+ policy: without it, require one exact user-selected path or URL, never
+ choose catalog or synthetic media, and preserve source URL, license,
+ attribution, path, size, and SHA-256.
+ - Apply that policy's input gate before constructing a live benchmark dry
+ run. Never choose media for the user or use the setup smoke fixture for
+ performance.
+- A documentation answer may be produced off-target when the exact platform,
+ SDK version, table conditions, and configured maximum video-clock facts are
+ supplied with provenance. A clock-scaled estimate also requires a positive
+ configured maximum video clock. It requires no media, recipe, sample
+ authentication, or codec launch. Without that clock, report only the
+ unscaled reference row as `target_clock_unavailable`, not a platform-scaled
+ estimate.
+
+## Compose requested sibling stages
+
+Documentation-only estimates and recipe-free live decode do not require a
+sibling skill. Live encode, compare, and encode-capacity routes require
+`jetson-video-recipe`; SDK installation, repair, a new full-samples Python
+environment, or one read-only handoff when registered Python authority is
+required belongs to `jetson-video-setup`. Check the agent's installed skill catalog
+before either stage. If the sibling is present, read its `SKILL.md` and invoke
+its documented public entry point; pass artifacts as data and never import
+sibling code. If it is absent, preserve completed input and measurement
+evidence and say, using the actual names: `I can run , but it requires
+, which is not installed. Install and retry this stage.` Never
+require setup when the caller already supplied authenticated setup evidence or
+an exact interpreter that passes local authentication, or a recipe for a
+decode-only or documentation-only request.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Apply the scope boundary first. For a request solely for objective quality
+ metrics, including PSNR or SSIM, state only that this performance skill does
+ not provide them and that a separately authorized quality workflow is
+ required, then stop. Do not name or recommend an external tool, and do not
+ offer to configure or run the comparison; do not request media, probe,
+ install anything, or launch an operation.
+2. Classify an in-scope request as a live `encode`, `decode`, `compare`, or
+ `camera_capacity` measurement, or as a `documented_estimate` answer.
+ Resolve camera data direction before selecting an encode or decode row.
+ Quality, preset, bitrate, rate-control, recording, or requested codec-output
+ wording is an encode cue; lead with NVENC and mention decode only as the
+ conditional case where cameras already emit the named compressed codec.
+ IP/RTSP input, already-encoded input, ingest, playback, or explicit decode
+ wording is a decode cue. Explicit transcoding or decode-then-encode uses
+ separate NVDEC and NVENC budgets. When no direction cue exists, present the
+ encode and decode interpretations conditionally and ask which applies; never
+ silently choose one.
+3. When media is absent:
+ - For an explicit request to run or benchmark, or for actual, real,
+ measured, live, or on-this-target FPS, apply the shared policy's
+ `input_required` gate and stop before probing, retrieval, authentication,
+ workspace creation, dry run, or launch.
+ Ask only for the missing media identity at this gate; do not also request
+ an interpreter, environment, recipe, or other later-stage field.
+ - For a planning, expected, indicative, or achievable-FPS question at any
+ positive requested resolution, follow
+ [Documented performance estimates](references/documented-performance-estimates.md).
+ Use only an exact documented 1080p row and a configured maximum video
+ clock as the source basis. For a non-1080p request, apply the reference's
+ inverse-pixel-area formula and disclose that it is an additional heuristic
+ not stated by the SDK table. If the clock is unavailable, return only the
+ unscaled 1080p reference row. Do not invoke the benchmark controller or
+ claim a measurement.
+4. When local media is supplied, validate and hash that exact selected input.
+ For URL input, preserve the exact user-supplied URL and retrieve it only
+ after the target, authorization, and runtime-authority gates; then validate
+ and hash the retrieved bytes. Preserve source URL (or null for local media),
+ license, and attribution. Use the live measurement path, not a documentation
+ estimate.
+5. Preserve the requested surface for live measurements. Treat “whichever”,
+ “best available”,
+ “choose for me”, and other unspecified-surface wording as `auto`, never as
+ `both`. Reserve `both` for an explicit dual-surface comparison. For `auto`,
+ zero eligible surfaces block, one runs, and two return
+ `selection_required`; never inspect prior results, invent a preferred SDK,
+ or launch a benchmark to make the missing user choice. With two eligible
+ surfaces, ask for exactly `native`, `pynvc`, or `both`.
+ After the media gate, use valid supplied setup evidence or an exact
+ interpreter first. If PyNvVideoCodec may participate and neither is
+ supplied, invoke installed `jetson-video-setup` through its public read-only
+ `probe_nvcodec.py`: use `--runtime pynvc` for explicit Python or `--runtime
+ both` for `both`/`auto`, a fresh `--output`, and never
+ `--setup-candidate`. Inspect the fresh artifact; only a live artifact whose
+ selected Py surface is installed and whose `pynvc.identity.status` is
+ `verified` is usable authority. Snapshot that exact artifact as the
+ controller's portable `environment` identity with exactly
+ `schema_version`, `kind`, canonical absolute `path`, `size_bytes`, and
+ lowercase `sha256`. If setup is absent or reports any not-ready, unreadable,
+ stale, binding, or launch failure, request the exact interpreter for
+ explicit `pynvc`/`both`; for local `auto`, report Python as `not_evaluated`
+ and continue only an eligible native surface. Never pass a blocked probe as
+ authority, scan for a venv, or hide an unevaluated peer.
+6. Run a `dry_run` first, review every planned argument, then run `execute` in
+ a fresh private workspace. Invoke this skill's controller directly:
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 -I {baseDir}/scripts/benchmark_controller.py \
+ --request request.json --workspace fresh-workspace \
+ --output result.json
+ ```
+
+7. For native encode, authenticate `AppEncPerf`, inspect both `-h` and `-A`,
+ and use only advertised options. Never pass `-loop`. Native decode uses
+ authenticated `AppDecPerf`; PyNvVideoCodec uses the wheel-owned performance
+ samples under either the setup-evidenced interpreter or the exact absolute
+ `pynvc_interpreter` selected by the caller.
+8. Retain one whole-process warmup and at least three separate measured
+ processes per variant and surface. Every measured command phase is
+ `measure`.
+9. For a live measurement, list every repetition's FPS and MP/s, then the
+ mean, minimum, and maximum of both metrics. PyNvVideoCodec decode omits MP/s
+ because its authenticated performance sample does not report dimensions;
+ report that reason instead of deriving MP/s from caller metadata. For a
+ native/Python comparison, disclose exact projection differences and whether
+ they changed the requested intent. For a live preset comparison, report
+ only measured throughput differences; do not state or imply a quality,
+ compression-efficiency, or storage ordering from preset names or
+ throughput. State that quality was not measured when that distinction
+ matters. For a documented estimate, report
+ the source row, clock provenance, requested resolution, formula,
+ assumptions, and every inference label required by the estimate reference,
+ plus `measurement_performed: false`; never invent repetitions or measured
+ statistics.
+10. Label measured concurrency results as codec-stage capacity bounds. For a
+ no-media planning question, a resolution-scaled estimate may additionally
+ produce a `documented_theoretical_capacity_estimate` when per-stream FPS and
+ an explicit or clearly defaulted safety margin are available. Keep encode
+ and decode budgets separate; for mixed workloads, sum each stream's
+ fractional load against one shared budget instead of granting every
+ resolution the complete budget. Call the result a theoretical codec-stream
+ bound, never a verified camera count: it excludes capture, ISP, transport,
+ AI, display, memory contention, and end-to-end latency. Disclosed 30-fps and
+ 60-fps scenarios may stand in for an unstated frame rate, but they do not
+ replace the question: the final response must still explicitly ask for every
+ omitted input it assumed or enumerated, naming the codec direction (encode
+ captured frames, decode already-compressed streams, or both), exact preset,
+ per-stream FPS, and stream mix or count. End by asking for exact
+ representative content and a measured, strictly increasing worker sweep to
+ verify capacity. Use a read-only calculator for every documented FPS and
+ stream-count calculation, preserve full precision until the final floor or
+ display rounding, and apply the reference's two-sided maximum-count check;
+ never rely on mental arithmetic for a reported capacity.

+## Limitations
+
+- Results apply only to the evidenced target and workload; they are not a
+ portable product ceiling.
+- Documentation-derived and resolution-scaled values are indicative per-engine
+ planning estimates, not achieved FPS, verified concurrency capacity, or a
+ substitute for testing representative content.
+- Do not interpolate undocumented presets or scale across formats, bit depths,
+ chroma, codecs, rate-control modes, or tuning. Scale resolution only through
+ the explicitly labeled pixel-area heuristic. Do not multiply by an engine
+ count unless that exact target count is independently authenticated, the user
+ explicitly requests multi-session aggregate planning, and the answer remains a
+ separately labeled multi-session theoretical bound.
+- Objective quality measurement, including PSNR and SSIM, is outside this
+ performance skill.
+- The released PyNvVideoCodec 2.1 encode performance helper caps each worker
+ at 1,000 frames. Follow the output contract rather than silently comparing
+ unequal frame counts.
+- External codecs and wrapper wall time cannot substitute for official
+ sample-reported throughput.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Preserve `input_required`, `selection_required`, `blocked`, `partial`, and
+ `failed` instead of promoting them to completion.
+- Reject stale outputs, input or environment identity drift, malformed or
+ non-finite metrics, wrong processed-frame counts, unsupported sample
+ options, and missing positive markers.
+- Retain a successful surface when its peer fails, but never pool or
+ substitute their results.

+# Benchmark output contract
+
+`benchmark_controller.py` returns strict JSON. Planned or attempted throughput routes return
+`schema_version: "2.0"`, `kind: "nvcodec-benchmark-result"`, the requested
+`route`/`mode`, a `status`, the resolved `surface_plan`, and per-variant results.
+When required user media is absent, preflight instead returns `status: "input_required"`,
+`gate: "media_input"`, `accepted_inputs`, `next_action: "provide_media_path_or_url"`,
+`synthetic_input_allowed: false`, the required request field, and the missing variant names.
+It has no `surface_plan` or attempted variant records because it stops before live-environment
+resolution, workspace creation, authentication, or launch.
+The CLI prints this preflight result to standard output and does not resolve or create
+`--workspace` or write its workspace-relative `--output` for this status.
+
+When a setup-produced environment identity is supplied, the result preserves it
+under `environment`. When it is omitted, `runtime_authority` labels the bounded
+local discovery, selected GPU, evaluated/not-evaluated surfaces, diagnostics,
+and the controller-owned binding identity. The binding contains raw live facts
+used by the existing normalizer; it never serializes normalized `surfaces` and
+is never accepted in a request.
+
+An encode whose sibling recipe public validator is absent returns
+`status: "dependency_required"`, `gate: "skill_dependency"`, and a `dependency`
+object naming `jetson-video-recipe`, why it is needed, and the install-and-retry
+action. This is not an SDK-readiness verdict. Decode has no recipe dependency.
+
+When an inspected SDK surface is not locally authenticatable, the result keeps
+the independent surface verdict and adds `dependency` plus `dependencies`
+objects naming `jetson-video-setup`, whether it is installed, why the selected
+surface needs installation or repair, and the exact use-or-install-and-retry
+action. An encode-capable PyNvVideoCodec environment that lacks the official
+sample dependencies additionally reports `required_profile: "full-samples"`
+and the missing dependency names. An omitted `pynvc_interpreter` remains an
+input/selection condition, not a claim that setup is broken.
+
+This controller contract applies only to live measurement requests. A no-media
+planning question may use the separate
+[documented performance estimate](documented-performance-estimates.md) answer
+path. That path does not invoke the controller, does not emit an
+`nvcodec-benchmark-result`, and never relabels a documentation calculation as a
+measured result. Its prose evidence class is
+`documented_clock_scaled_estimate` for an exact 1080p clock-scaled row,
+`documented_clock_resolution_scaled_estimate` when the disclosed pixel-area
+heuristic is added, or `documented_theoretical_capacity_estimate` when the
+estimate is converted to a stream budget. The latter two always set
+`measurement_performed: false`; any answer that applies the pixel-area heuristic
+also sets `resolution_scaling_documented: false`, and capacity also sets
+`capacity_verified: false`.
+
+## Throughput lifecycle
+
+Live encode/decode, comparison, and camera-capacity measurements require one whole-process
+warmup followed by at least three whole-process measured repetitions for every selected
+variant and surface. The warmup is retained but excluded from statistics. Every measured
+command uses phase `measure`; no controller invocation emits `-loop`.
+
+A throughput `dry_run` records the candidate official sample and argument vector for each
+selected branch without authenticating or launching it. Native encode options remain labeled
+as pending validation against the installed AppEncPerf `-h` and `-A` advertisements; the plan
+does not claim executable or operation readiness. An explicit `both` dry run records both
+requested branches: each is independently `planned` or `blocked`. The top level is `planned`
+only when every requested branch is planned, `partial` when at least one is planned, and
+`blocked` when none is planned.
+
+For native encode, the controller authenticates `AppEncPerf`, runs both `-h` and `-A`,
+unions the advertised option names, and rejects any constructed option not in that union.
+Native decode uses authenticated `AppDecPerf`. Python encode/decode uses the corresponding
+wheel-owned `encode_perf.py`/`decode_perf.py` route. Surface results remain independent and
+are never pooled or ranked.
+
+Each completed variant/surface result contains, at the appropriate level:
+
+- authenticated sample and provenance identities;
+- exact benchmark arguments and, for native encode, help-command evidence;
+- for PyNvVideoCodec encode, the schema-1 `pynvc-encoder-config` identity whose
+ workspace artifact is the exact `-json` argument;
+- input path/size/SHA-256 plus geometry, frames, FPS, codec, format, source URL
+ (or null), license, and attribution;
+- for encode, the exact recipe artifact identity retained at variant level and
+ re-verified immediately before authentication;
+- the warmup command record;
+- every measured command record, parsed FPS, MP/s when authenticated dimensions
+ exist, and repetition number;
+- finite mean, minimum, and maximum FPS and megapixels/second when present.
+
+The authenticated PyNvVideoCodec 2.1 `decode_perf.py` output does not report stream
+dimensions. Its decode records therefore set MP/s to null and carry an explicit
+`metric_omissions.megapixels_per_second` reason in every repetition and summary;
+caller-supplied dimensions are never used to publish that derived metric. Native
+decode may publish MP/s only after AppDecPerf reports matching stream metadata.
+
+The final customer response, not only the result artifact, must list every measured
+repetition's FPS and MP/s when present (or the explicit MP/s omission reason), followed
+by the mean, minimum, and maximum of each present metric. A mean/range-only summary or
+artifact link is incomplete. For `both`, also disclose the exact native-CLI versus
+PyNvVideoCodec-config representation differences and whether they changed the requested
+semantic intent.
+
+The expected processed-frame count is the effective frames per worker multiplied by
+workers. A missing, contradictory, non-finite, or wrong-count sample marker fails that
+branch. Runner-process duration is command evidence but never substitutes for
+sample-reported FPS.
+
+### PyNvVideoCodec performance frame cap
+
+The authenticated PyNvVideoCodec 2.1 `encode_perf.py` helper contract caps every
+performance encode at 1000 frames per worker; the released sample silently limits longer
+inputs. The controller therefore derives one effective per-worker frame count for each
+variant:
+
+- Encode with an exact, participating `pynvc` projection uses
+ `min(source frames, 1000)` per worker. When native participates in the same `both`
+ variant, native receives the identical effective count (`AppEncPerf -frame` equals
+ `encode_perf.py -f`), so both surfaces measure the same first frames and each parser
+ requires exactly `effective x workers` processed frames.
+- Native-only encode keeps the full requested count, including when PyNvVideoCodec
+ is ineligible or its recipe projection is unrepresentable. Decode is never capped.
+ `compare` (P4/P5) and `camera_capacity` variants inherit the same per-worker rule.
+- The original input identity and its source frame count are preserved unchanged in the
+ request and in each surface record's `input` block; the controller never trims or
+ copies the raw file, rewrites the recipe, or claims that capped-away frames ran.
+
+Every dry-run and executed surface record carries a `frame_accounting` object stating
+`source_frames_per_worker`, `effective_frames_per_worker`, `workers`,
+`expected_aggregate_frames`, `cap_applied`, `cap_limit_frames_per_worker` (exactly 1000),
+and `cap_authority` (the authenticated PyNvVideoCodec 2.1 `encode_perf.py` helper
+contract). If a request sets `require_source_frames` to true and the cap would apply, the
+controller fails before any launch and directs the caller to a native-only surface or an
+input at or below the limit; it never silently reinterprets that explicit intent.
+
+## Route-specific fields
+
+- `compare` accepts two variants only when their recipe/workload/execution facts are equal
+ except for preset. Its `comparison` retains each completed surface and variant summary.
+- `camera_capacity` requires strictly increasing worker counts beginning at one. It records
+ every tested point, the explicit safety margin, the maximum passing tested count, and the
+ limitation that capture, transport, and end-to-end latency remain unverified.
+- `both` is accepted only when the user explicitly requests a dual-surface run or
+ comparison. It reports native and Python branches independently. A completed branch is
+ retained when the peer branch fails, is ineligible, or has no exact recipe projection,
+ and the top-level status becomes `partial`. Projection losses block only the affected
+ surface.
+- “Whichever”, “best available”, “choose for me”, and other unspecified-surface
+ wording remain `auto`; they are never rewritten to `both`. `auto` runs exactly one
+ eligible surface, blocks with zero, and returns `selection_required` with two before
+ searching prior results, dry run, authentication, or launch. The two-surface gate is
+ unconditional and asks for exactly `native`, `pynvc`, or `both`.
+
+## Status and exit code
+
+`completed` and `planned` are successful and the CLI exits 0. `input_required`,
+`dependency_required`, `partial`, `failed`, `blocked`, and `selection_required`
+are preserved as structured results and the CLI exits 2. `input_required` is
+emitted on stdout without creating `--output` or a workspace.
+Malformed input, stale outputs, authentication failure, bad markers, and metric mismatch are
+never rewritten as a successful result.

+# Benchmark workflow
+
+Run compact, authenticated Video Codec SDK performance measurements on
+user-supplied representative content. This workflow owns live FPS, multi-stream
+concurrency, and P4/P5 comparisons. It also owns a separate
+documentation-derived planning answer when content is unavailable. It never
+substitutes an external codec, and it does not provide PSNR/SSIM quality
+measurement. For a quality-only request, apply the terminal scope rule in
+`SKILL.md` and stop.
+
+## Two answer paths
+
+- **Live measurement:** requires one exact user-selected path or URL, no
+ catalog or synthetic substitution, and preserved provenance and identity.
+ When setup is installed, apply its shared
+ [video content policy](../../jetson-video-setup/references/video-content.md).
+ The setup skill is not otherwise required for this media rule. An explicit
+ run, measure, or real-benchmark request remains media-gated.
+- **Documented estimate:** applies only to a no-media planning, expected,
+ indicative, achievable-FPS, or theoretical codec-stream-capacity question at
+ any positive resolution. Follow
+ [documented-performance-estimates.md](documented-performance-estimates.md).
+ Non-1080p results add a disclosed pixel-area heuristic to the documented row
+ and clock scaling. This is a calculation-only answer path, not a controller
+ route or benchmark result.
+
+## Owner and exact CLI
+
+One controller owns live measurements in this domain:
+**`jetson-video-benchmark/scripts/benchmark_controller.py`**. Launch it
+directly:
+
+```text
+python3 -I scripts/benchmark_controller.py \
+ --request nvcodec-benchmark-request.json \
+ --workspace fresh-workspace-dir \
+ --output nvcodec-benchmark-result.json
+```
+
+All three flags are required (`--help` supported). Exit `0` on success, `2` on any
+request or contract failure.
+
+## Benchmark request schema
+
+`--request` is a `schema_version: "1.0"`, `kind: "nvcodec-benchmark-request"` object.
+`mode` is exactly `dry_run` (plan only) or `execute` (default `execute`). `route` is
+exactly one of:
+
+| `route` | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `encode` | Encode throughput / achievable encode FPS |
+| `decode` | Decode throughput / achievable decode FPS |
+| `compare` | P4 vs P5 performance, holding every non-preset control identical |
+| `camera_capacity` | Multi-stream codec-worker concurrency capacity |
+
+`environment` is optional. Setup emits the raw schema-1.2
+`nvcodec-environment` JSON; the benchmark request carries its exact portable
+identity, not the embedded JSON or a private workspace object:
+
+```json
+{
+ "schema_version": "1.2",
+ "kind": "nvcodec-environment",
+ "path": "/canonical/absolute/fresh-environment.json",
+ "size_bytes": 1234,
+ "sha256": "64-lowercase-hex-digest"
+}
+```
+
+Derive `path`, `size_bytes`, and `sha256` from the fresh file after the probe
+finishes. The controller verifies the current bytes and never falls back if
+that supplied identity is malformed, stale, or unsuitable.
+
+After the media gate, an agent that needs `pynvc` or `both` and has no supplied
+environment or exact interpreter first checks the installed skill catalog. If
+`jetson-video-setup` is present, invoke its public `probe_nvcodec.py` with a
+fresh output path, `--runtime pynvc` for Python-only or `--runtime both` for
+`both`/`auto`, and no `--setup-candidate`. This is an artifact handoff, not a
+consumer import: setup alone resolves and reauthenticates its fixed registry.
+Inspect the emitted JSON before constructing the identity above. It is usable
+for Py only when `mode=live`, the requested GPU matches,
+`pynvc.installed=true`, and `pynvc.identity.status=verified`; the benchmark
+controller then independently validates it again. Ask for an exact interpreter
+for explicit `pynvc`/`both` only when setup is unavailable or returns any
+absent, stale, unreadable, invalid-binding, or launch-failure result. For
+`auto`, record Py as `not_evaluated` and continue only an eligible native
+surface. Never pass a blocked probe as authority, scan for a venv, or trust an
+older artifact.
+
+When `environment` is omitted, the controller performs bounded read-only local
+authentication. An explicit `native` route inspects only the fixed APT package
+`nvidia-video-codec-sdk`, verifies its public 13.0.x version and unmodified
+package-owned official sample tree, binds the existing build toolchain, and
+later verifies non-stub codec linkage. An explicit `pynvc` route requires
+`pynvc_interpreter` as one exact absolute path and authenticates the isolated
+import, exact loaded extension, wheel RECORD, and wheel-owned sample. It never
+searches for a venv. Explicit single-surface routes do not inspect their peer.
+An explicit `pynvc` or `both` request without `pynvc_interpreter` returns
+`input_required`. For local `auto`, an absent selector is reported as Python
+`not_evaluated`, not silently omitted, and an eligible native branch may continue.
+The controller's local binding is derived in-process and may be emitted as
+evidence, but is never accepted as a request input or as a substitute setup
+artifact.
+
+For encode, pass `recipe` as the exact portable absolute identity of a schema-2
+`nvcodec-recipe`; embedded recipe objects are invalid. Its codec, width, height,
+format, FPS, optional frame count, and GPU must exactly match the input/request
+workload before the documented PyNvVideoCodec frame cap is applied. Decode does
+not consume a recipe. If the sibling recipe validator is absent, encode returns
+structured `dependency_required` with the dependency, reason, and exact
+install-and-retry action rather than a generic controller error.
+
+If bounded local authentication proves that a selected SDK surface needs
+installation or repair, preserve any healthy peer and return a structured
+`jetson-video-setup` dependency with its installed state and retry action. A
+missing exact Python interpreter selector is still `input_required` (or
+`not_evaluated` for local `auto`), never inferred to be a broken installation.
+
+`input` (encode) or `encoded_artifact` (decode) carries the verified artifact
+identity, exact width/height/frames/FPS/codec/format metadata, and preserved
+`source_url` (null for local input), `license`, and `attribution`.
+Encode request metadata accepts H.264, HEVC, or AV1; decode additionally accepts
+VP9. An accepted request codec is not itself a target-support claim.
+
+`compare` requires two encode recipes that differ only by preset. Only released
+sample routes that carry an authenticated FPS value (see the shared contract)
+are eligible for throughput; runner process duration is never relabeled as
+sample-reported throughput.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Classify the request into exactly one route above.
+2. Apply the shared video-content input, resolution, provenance, and synthetic-
+ fixture rules. If input is absent for an explicit live measurement, return
+ its `input_required` result and pause before probing, retrieval, dry run, or
+ execution. Request only the missing media at that gate; interpreter,
+ environment, recipe, and surface-authority resolution happen afterward. A
+ no-media planning question follows the separate documented-estimate path
+ above.
+3. For preset comparisons, produce recipes with the recipes workflow that hold everything but the
+ compared control constant, and bind every variant to the same user-selected content and frame
+ range.
+4. Run the benchmark controller in `dry_run` first to review the planned invocation,
+ then `execute` with a fresh output path and a bounded timeout (300 s per repetition).
+5. Report the measured target and exact workload only — not a portable product ceiling.
+ Resolve camera data direction before choosing the controller operation.
+ Measured concurrency without matching capture/transport/latency evidence is
+ an encode- or decode-stage capacity bound, not a verified camera count. A
+ no-media capacity calculation is weaker still: label it a theoretical
+ codec-stream bound and follow the estimate reference's shared-budget formula.
+
+See [benchmark-output-contract.md](benchmark-output-contract.md) for the result JSON
+contract. The controller authenticates the required official performance
+sample from either the exact setup-produced live environment identity or the
+bounded local authority described above.

+# Documented performance estimates
+
+Use this answer path only when representative content is unavailable and the
+user asks for expected, indicative, achievable, planning, specification, or
+theoretical FPS or codec-stream capacity. It is not a benchmark execution and
+does not satisfy an explicit request to run or measure real content.
+
+## Authoritative SDK 13.0 rows
+
+The source is the NVIDIA Video Codec SDK 13.0
+[NVENC application note](https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/13.0/nvenc-application-note/index.html)
+and
+[NVDEC application note](https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/13.0/nvdec-application-note/index.html).
+The values are indicative, per-engine FPS for Jetson Thor at the documented
+highest video clock.
+
+Record the source software conditions with the row. The encode note identifies
+Video Codec SDK 13.0 and NVIDIA Jetson Linux for Thor without naming an exact
+Jetson Linux revision. The decode note identifies Video Codec SDK 13.0 and
+Jetson Linux 38.2. If the planned target uses another release, disclose that
+software-version difference rather than treating the calculation as a target
+measurement.
+
+Match these rows only when the planned platform is Jetson Thor and the codec,
+chroma, bit depth, preset, rate control, and tuning are exact. A different
+positive resolution may use only the bounded pixel-area heuristic below. For
+any other mismatch, return `documentation_estimate_unavailable`; do not
+interpolate or substitute.
+
+An omitted field is not a mismatch. Reserve `documentation_estimate_unavailable`
+for an explicitly conflicting request, such as an undocumented P2, P4, or P6
+preset. When the user omits a field, keep the answer open: map "high quality" to
+the exact VBR / high quality rows and enumerate that small documented preset set
+instead of silently choosing one, and read "4K" as 3840x2160 only as a disclosed
+planning interpretation, noting that DCI 4096x2160 changes the pixel ratio. Show
+the resulting scenario math for the enumerated candidates without claiming one
+unique answer, then ask for the exact preset, per-stream FPS, stream mix, and
+representative content.
+
+A qualitative encode control that is not an exact table value, including
+"medium quality", must not be mapped to one preset, rate-control mode, or
+tuning. Preserve the encode direction, enumerate a compact set of exact
+documented encode candidates without calling any candidate "medium", and ask
+for the exact controls. Never switch to a decode row merely because decode has
+fewer required controls. Use decode only for already-compressed camera input;
+use separate encode and decode budgets when both stages are requested.
+
+Encode rows apply exactly to 1920x1080, YUV 4:2:0, 8-bit input:
+
+| Codec | Preset | Rate control | Tuning | FPS |
+|---|---:|---|---|---:|
+| H.264 | P1 | CBR | low latency | 724 |
+| H.264 | P1 | VBR | high quality | 713 |
+| H.264 | P3 | CBR | low latency | 529 |
+| H.264 | P3 | VBR | high quality | 527 |
+| H.264 | P5 | CBR | low latency | 236 |
+| H.264 | P5 | VBR | high quality | 230 |
+| H.264 | P7 | CBR | low latency | 219 |
+| H.264 | P7 | VBR | high quality | 202 |
+| HEVC | P1 | CBR | low latency | 860 |
+| HEVC | P1 | VBR | high quality | 850 |
+| HEVC | P3 | CBR | low latency | 402 |
+| HEVC | P3 | VBR | high quality | 579 |
+| HEVC | P5 | CBR | low latency | 279 |
+| HEVC | P5 | VBR | high quality | 336 |
+| HEVC | P7 | CBR | low latency | 279 |
+| HEVC | P7 | VBR | high quality | 148 |
+
+The SDK 13.0 table has no Jetson Thor AV1 encode performance row. It also has
+no P2, P4, or P6 row. Never interpolate or substitute a neighboring preset.
+
+Decode rows apply exactly to 1920x1080 YUV 4:2:0:
+
+| Codec/profile | FPS |
+|---|---:|
+| H.264 | 1434 |
+| VP9 8-bit | 1019 |
+| VP9 10-bit | 1016 |
+| HEVC Main 8-bit | 1293 |
+| HEVC Main10 | 1130 |
+| AV1 | 794 |
+
+Do not scale a row across chroma, bit depth, codec, preset, rate control, or
+tuning. Scale resolution only with the separately labeled pixel-area heuristic
+below. Do not multiply by an encoder or decoder engine count by default. The
+table does not measure native-versus-PyNvVideoCodec wrapper overhead or prove
+simultaneous-stream capacity.
+
+## Select the target clock
+
+Use a positive configured maximum video clock, not an instantaneous idle clock:
+
+1. Prefer a finite `Max Video` value from the target's authenticated
+ `nvidia-smi -q -d CLOCK` output. Bind it to the selected GPU identity.
+2. If that field is unavailable on Jetson, accept an exact user- or
+ CI-supplied configured maximum clock and label it `user_supplied`, or use
+ `nvpmodel -q --verbose` only when its current power-mode output explicitly
+ labels `PARAM VIDEO`, its `MAX_FREQ` path, and the configured value. Record
+ the command, power mode, path, value, and Hz-to-MHz conversion.
+3. If no configured maximum is available, report only the unscaled documented
+ row and formula with `target_clock_unavailable`. Do not guess.
+
+Keep a current `Video` clock only as a volatile diagnostic. Never use an idle
+reading or an instantaneous `NVENC*_FREQ`/`NVDEC*_FREQ` sample as the numerator
+for an achievable-FPS estimate.
+
+## Calculate clock scaling
+
+The SDK 13.0 NVDEC note states that the Jetson Thor rows were measured at a
+1691 MHz highest video clock and that performance scales almost linearly with
+video clock. For an exact row:
+
+```text
+clock_ratio = target_configured_max_video_clock_mhz / 1691
+scaled_fps = documented_fps * clock_ratio
+```
+
+Require a positive target clock. Treat a configured maximum reported within
+1 MHz of 1691 MHz as the same reference operating point because integer-MHz
+reporting can round it to 1690, 1691, or 1692 MHz. Preserve the raw reported
+clock, normalize the calculation to 1691 MHz (`clock_ratio = 1.0`), and label
+the normalization. If the target clock is above 1692 MHz, report the reference
+row and decline extrapolation beyond the documented point. Preserve full
+precision for the calculation and round only the displayed FPS.
+
+The NVENC note instructs clock scaling but omits the numeric Thor reference
+clock. Applying the companion NVDEC note's 1691 MHz value to an encode row is a
+`cross_note_inference`, not direct NVENC table metadata. The
+[Jetson Linux R39.2 power guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r39.2/DeveloperGuide/SD/PlatformPowerAndPerformance/JetsonThor.html)
+supports the shared-domain premise by grouping NVDEC, NVENC, OFA, and NVJPG in
+one maximum-frequency row and listing 1557 MHz for the T5000 120 W mode. That
+guide's 1692 MHz MAXN entry does not replace the performance table's explicit
+1691 MHz reference denominator. Disclose the inference. If the user does not
+accept it, leave encode FPS unscaled.
+
+## Scale to any requested resolution
+
+When an exact 1080p source row and a valid target clock are available, estimate
+another positive width and height with:
+
+```text
+pixel_ratio = (1920 * 1080) / (requested_width * requested_height)
+estimated_fps = documented_1080p_fps * clock_ratio * pixel_ratio
+```
+
+For 3840x2160, `pixel_ratio` is `1/4`. For example, the HEVC P3 VBR
+high-quality row at a 1557 MHz configured maximum video clock gives:
+
+```text
+579 * (1557 / 1691) * (1920 * 1080) / (3840 * 2160) = 133.28 FPS
+```
+
+This inverse-pixel-area relationship is a `derived_pixel_rate_heuristic`; the
+SDK 13.0 notes document the 1080p rows and clock scaling, not resolution
+scaling. Treat it as a rough, potentially optimistic planning value. It ignores
+per-frame fixed cost, memory and copy bandwidth, codec level and reference
+buffer constraints, surface overhead, multi-stream scheduling, power and
+thermal throttling, and contention from capture, ISP, CUDA, AI, display, or
+transport. Preserve full precision until display rounding.
+
+Use `evidence_class: documented_clock_resolution_scaled_estimate`,
+`measurement_performed: false`, and `resolution_scaling_documented: false`.
+Record the reference and requested dimensions, pixel ratio, clock ratio, full
+formula, and both the encode `cross_note_inference` and
+`derived_pixel_rate_heuristic` when applicable. Never call the result measured,
+verified, guaranteed, or operational capacity.
+
+## Convert an estimate to a theoretical stream budget
+
+Only answer a no-media “how many streams” question as a theoretical codec-stage
+planning bound. For one configuration with a known per-stream frame rate:
+
+```text
+usable_fps = estimated_fps * safety_margin
+theoretical_stream_count = floor(usable_fps / stream_fps)
+```
+
+Use a read-only calculator, such as Python, for every documented FPS and stream
+count calculation; do not perform the arithmetic mentally. Preserve full
+precision through `floor`. For every reported maximum `count`, verify both
+bounds before publishing it:
+
+```text
+count * stream_fps <= usable_fps
+(count + 1) * stream_fps > usable_fps
+```
+
+For a resolution-scaled row, also recompute the exact reference-to-requested
+pixel ratio used by that row. Reject or correct any table entry that fails one
+of these checks.
+
+Require `0 < safety_margin <= 1`. If the user does not provide one, use `0.9`
+only as a disclosed planning default. If per-stream FPS is absent, there is no
+unique stream count: report the estimated FPS and formula, optionally show
+clearly labeled 30-fps and 60-fps scenarios, and ask for the intended FPS.
+
+For mixed resolutions or configurations, never assign the full engine budget
+to every group independently. Calculate each group's estimate from its own
+exact documented row and use fractional load:
+
+```text
+group_load_i = stream_count_i * stream_fps_i / estimated_fps_i
+total_encode_load = sum(encode group loads)
+total_decode_load = sum(decode group loads)
+```
+
+Each resource pool is feasible only when its total load is no greater than the
+chosen safety margin. Keep NVENC and NVDEC pools separate. For groups sharing
+one row, this is equivalent to a shared 1080p-pixel-rate budget. Report the
+remaining headroom and the complete mix equation rather than independently
+overcommitting each resolution.
+
+Use `evidence_class: documented_theoretical_capacity_estimate`, retain the
+underlying FPS evidence class, and set `measurement_performed: false` and
+`capacity_verified: false`. Call it codec-stream capacity, not physical camera
+connectivity or end-to-end pipeline capacity. Published rows are per engine.
+Multiply by an engine count only when the exact target count is independently
+authenticated, the user explicitly requests multi-session aggregate planning,
+and the result is labeled `theoretical_multi_session_engine_budget`; a single
+session never receives that multiplication.
+
+Every clock-scaled FPS basis must include:
+
+- `evidence_class: documented_clock_scaled_estimate` for an exact 1080p
+ result, or `documented_clock_resolution_scaled_estimate` when the pixel-area
+ heuristic is applied;
+- `measurement_performed: false`;
+- source title, SDK version, URL, exact row, and table conditions;
+- source and target software versions when known, including any difference;
+- documented FPS, 1691 MHz reference clock, target clock and provenance,
+ clock ratio, formula, and scaled FPS;
+- the encode `cross_note_inference` when applicable;
+- no warmup, repetitions, measured minimum/mean/maximum, or achieved-FPS claim;
+- a warning that content, controls, power, thermals, software, and concurrency
+ can change real throughput; and
+- the exact next action: supply representative media and run the authenticated
+ benchmark workflow for a measured result.
+
+A non-1080p or theoretical-capacity answer must additionally include every
+field and caveat required by the two sections above. Always end by requesting
+representative user content for a real benchmark; for capacity, also request
+the intended per-stream FPS and stream mix if either was defaulted or omitted.
+
+When the exact row exists but no configured maximum clock is available, return
+only `evidence_class: documented_reference_value` with
+`measurement_performed: false`, the source row and conditions, and
+`target_clock_unavailable`. Do not emit `clock_ratio`, `scaled_fps`, or call it
+a platform estimate. When no exact row exists, return
+`documentation_estimate_unavailable` instead.

+
+> ✅ **Overall verdict: PASS — Recommended for publication**
+
+## Publication Recommendation
+
+Recommended for publication based on the completed evaluation evidence in this report.
+
+## Evaluation Metadata
+
+- Skill: `jetson-video-capability`
+- Evaluation date: 2026-08-10
+- Evaluator version: `1.1.2`
+- Agents: Claude Code (`aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8`), Codex (`openai/openai/gpt-5.5`)
+- Tasks: 4 evaluation tasks (4 positive)
+- Dataset digest: `sha256:b440c2dac3de92def79952306c0425803168bede746d14213e367b04f0655282` (skill-evaluator-dataset-snapshot/1)
+- Attempts per task: 1
+- Environment: `k8s-sandbox`
+- Tier 3 evidence: required for publication
+
+Each task attempt ran in its own isolated sandbox pod.
+
+## What This Report Answers
+
+The three-tier evaluation checks whether the skill:
+
+- is safe to use;
+- produces correct answers;
+- is discovered and activated when needed;
+- helps the agent complete the user's goal and expected workflow; and
+- avoids wasted skill and tool usage.
+
+## Results at a Glance
+
+| Measure | Claude Code (Baseline → Skill Uplift) | Codex (Baseline → Skill Uplift) |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Overall | 59% → 93% (+33 points) | 68% → 84% (+16 points) |
+| Security | 100% → 100% (±0 points) | 100% → 75% (-25 points) |
+| Correctness | 80% → 100% (+20 points) | 100% → 100% (±0 points) |
+| Discoverability | 37% → 98% (+62 points) | 50% → 91% (+41 points) |
+| Effectiveness | 53% → 74% (+20 points) | 75% → 58% (-17 points) |
+| Efficiency | 27% → 91% (+64 points) | 18% → 98% (+80 points) |
+
+**How to read this table:** baseline is the same task attempted without the target skill. Uplift is `skill score - baseline score`, shown in percentage points.
+
+Example: `47% → 92% (+45 points)` means the skill-assisted run scored 92%, 45 percentage points above its 47% no-skill baseline.
+
+## Tier Status

+## Scoring Methodology
+
+
+Show dimension definitions, source signals, and thresholds
+
+| Dimension | Question | Scored signals |
+|---|---|---|
+| Security | Is it safe to use? | `security` (100%) |
+| Correctness | Is the answer correct? | `accuracy` (100%) |
+| Discoverability | Was the right skill loaded when needed? | `skill_execution` (100%) |
+| Effectiveness | Did the skill help complete the task? | `goal_accuracy` (50%) + `behavior_check` (50%) |
+| Efficiency | Did it avoid wasted tool or skill usage? | `skill_efficiency` (100%) |
+
+- Dimension bands: PASS at 50% or above; NEUTRAL from 40% to below 50%; FAIL below 40%.
+- Overall Tier 3 lift: PASS at +5 points or more; FAIL at -10 points or less; values between those bands are NEUTRAL.
+- Overall verdict: PASS only when every configured dimension passes for at least one supported agent. Lift is reported as diagnostic evidence and does not override this gate.
+- The 50% attempt pass threshold is a separate per-task gate; it is not the dimension pass threshold.
+- Effectiveness is the equal-weight mean of goal completion (`goal_accuracy`) and expected workflow adherence (`behavior_check`).
+- Token efficiency is a separate report-only signal. It does not change a dimension score or the overall verdict.
+
+Signals present in this run:
+
+- `security` (Security): unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
+- `skill_execution` (Skill Execution): whether the expected skill was found and executed.
+- `skill_efficiency` (Efficiency): routing quality, workspace-aware skill reads, and productive tool use.
+- `accuracy` (Accuracy): final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
+- `goal_accuracy` (Goal Accuracy): whether the user's goal was achieved.
+- `behavior_check` (Behavior Check): whether the expected workflow behavior was followed.
+
+
+
+## Freshness
+
+Regenerate this benchmark when the skill, evaluation dataset, target agent/model, evaluator version, environment, or scoring policy changes.

+
+# Jetson Video Capability
+
+## Purpose
+
+Answer Video Codec SDK and PyNvVideoCodec support questions without confusing an
+API response, a successful operation, and product documentation. Query the live
+target first, retain exact operation evidence separately, and publish the final
+product-support verdict from applicable NVIDIA documentation.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Fresh evidence from `jetson-video-setup` is an optional authority, not a
+ prerequisite. When it is supplied, authenticate and use it exactly. When it
+ is absent, this skill authenticates only the selected installed surface:
+ package-owned native sources and requested report targets, or the exact
+ invoking PyNvVideoCodec interpreter and wheel. It never installs, repairs,
+ scans for a venv, or imports setup code. A fresh environment artifact that
+ the agent obtains from setup's public read-only probe counts as supplied
+ evidence; it need not originate in the customer's prompt.
+- Run live queries on the target Jetson with direct GPU access. Do not claim
+ current availability from an x86 host or a result copied from another target.
+- If selected-surface prerequisites are missing, stop without mutation and
+ route that surface to `jetson-video-setup`. If that skill is not installed,
+ tell the user to install it. Never infer codec or product support from a
+ missing Python import or native build prerequisite.
+- Keep the installed native and Python surfaces independent. Query only the
+ requested surface unless the user explicitly selects `both`.
+- Query execution requires this capability skill plus either valid supplied
+ setup evidence or the selected local prerequisites described below. An exact
+ operation check also requires
+ `jetson-video-recipe`, which owns recipe resolution, and
+ `jetson-video-pipeline`, which owns authenticated
+ encode-to-independent-decode execution.
+- Before a bounded operation check, when setup is installed read its shared
+ [video content policy](../jetson-video-setup/references/video-content.md).
+ Query-only work is media-free; only the documented setup fixture is allowed
+ for the capability-smoke exception. Setup is not required solely for this
+ policy: without it, require one exact user-selected path or URL for any other
+ operation, never substitute catalog or synthetic media, and preserve source
+ URL, license, attribution, path, size, and SHA-256.
+
+Resolve this skill from the installed skills root and set `CAPABILITY_SKILL` to
+its canonical absolute path. Invoke each owning script directly under isolated
+Python:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_native_sample_reports.py" --help
+python3 -I "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_encoder_caps.py" --help
+python3 -I "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_decoder_caps.py" --help
+python3 -I "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/validate_appenc_av1_ivf.py" --help
+```
+
+If an owning script is missing, stop with `dependency_required`. A setup
+artifact is optional; a supplied one is never optional to validate. Do not copy
+modules from another skill or add a fallback import path.
+
+## Compose requested sibling stages
+
+Capability queries and documentation reconciliation require no sibling when
+the selected SDK prerequisites already exist. Use `jetson-video-setup` for
+installation, repair, or one read-only readiness handoff when registered
+PyNvVideoCodec authority is required; use `jetson-video-recipe` plus
+`jetson-video-pipeline` for an exact requested operation, and
+`jetson-video-benchmark` for requested throughput. Check the agent's installed
+skill catalog before each such stage.
+If the sibling is present, read its `SKILL.md` and invoke its documented public
+entry point; pass artifacts as data and never import sibling code. If it is
+absent, preserve every completed query result and say, using the actual names:
+`I can run , but it requires , which is not installed. Install
+ and retry this stage.` Never require a sibling for an unrequested or
+optional refinement.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Classify the request first, before any target probe, capability query, or
+ other workflow step.** For a request solely for objective quality
+ metrics, including PSNR or SSIM, state only that this skill does not provide
+ them and that a separately authorized quality workflow is required, then
+ stop. Do not name or recommend an external tool, and do not offer to
+ configure or run the comparison; do not request media, probe, install
+ anything, or launch an operation.
+ For a request solely about Netflix, Widevine, or other DRM-protected
+ streaming-service playback, state only that this skill covers hardware
+ encode/decode of user-supplied non-DRM bitstreams and does not cover,
+ enable, or verify streaming-service or content-DRM playback. Do not claim
+ whether the service will work; do not describe Jetson content-DRM
+ certification; do not recommend or offer to install a browser, a content-DRM
+ module (Widevine, PlayReady), a playback tool, a workaround, or a bypass; do
+ not probe the target or launch an operation. NVDEC decode of supported
+ user-supplied non-DRM bitstreams stays fully in scope for this skill and is
+ never discouraged by this boundary, so you may say so. Then stop. A mixed
+ request that also asks an in-scope codec question is not refused wholesale:
+ answer the in-scope part normally and apply this boundary only to the
+ streaming-service part.
+ An unqualified “DRM” does not by itself mean content protection: on Jetson it
+ commonly means the Linux Direct Rendering Manager (DRM/KMS, `/dev/dri`,
+ modesetting, display connectors), which this boundary does not cover. Apply
+ this boundary only when the request identifies Netflix, Widevine, PlayReady,
+ streaming-service protection, or otherwise clearly means content Digital
+ Rights Management; if the request says only “DRM” and the context does not
+ resolve which is meant, ask the user which before answering. A local
+ DRM-free MP4 shown on a display is likewise not a content-DRM request, and
+ its codec portion stays in scope.
+ Otherwise handle capability discovery, exact support questions, and
+ interpretation of saved capability evidence. Route package installation to
+ `jetson-video-setup`, recipe construction to `jetson-video-recipe`,
+ throughput measurement to `jetson-video-benchmark`, and multi-stage media
+ work to `jetson-video-pipeline`. Within a capability request, a genuinely
+ bare “video SDK” phrase with no product qualifier is ambiguous: ask whether
+ the customer means native Video Codec SDK, PyNvVideoCodec, or both, then
+ stop before probing either surface. Report-only intent or “probe the target”
+ does not authorize `--runtime both`.
+ A capability support/catalog request that names no SDK surface or product
+ phrase uses native-preferred fallback selection, whether it is broad, exact,
+ or a bounded subset. Select native when its route is eligible. Only when
+ native is ineligible, evaluate the PyNvVideoCodec candidate in the authority
+ order defined in step 3; select Py when that candidate is eligible. Do not
+ ask the user to choose merely because this fallback was used. When native is
+ selected, do not evaluate Py; if the response displays that unselected peer,
+ report it as `not_evaluated` with reason `surface_not_selected`. If neither
+ route is eligible, preserve both typed reasons and provide the applicable
+ setup remediation. Serialize a successful fallback as an explicit `native`
+ or `pynvc` request before applying the shared routing truth table. Carry that
+ resolved surface explicitly into any authorized downstream operation so the
+ operation controller does not reclassify it as `auto`. This capability-only
+ unnamed policy is not `auto`: only
+ explicit “auto”, “whichever”, “best available”, “choose for me”, or
+ equivalent wording that expressly delegates the SDK choice is genuine
+ `auto`; it is never `both`. Naming Python or PyNvVideoCodec is explicit
+ `pynvc`. Naming Video Codec SDK, `native`, `AppEncCuda`, or `AppDec` is
+ explicit `native` and never falls back.
+2. **Apply the authorization gate.** A discovery or report-only request is
+ query-only. Query and reconcile documentation before deciding whether an
+ operation is useful. A directly applicable documentation `No` is the final
+ product verdict and ends the normal support/availability check without a
+ codec operation; a request to “check live availability” or “operational
+ support” does not by itself require an experiment that cannot change that
+ verdict. Preserve conflicting raw inventory as diagnostic evidence. Run a
+ bounded matching official operation only when documentation is supported or
+ unknown and live availability is requested, or when the user separately
+ and explicitly requests a diagnostic experiment despite the unsupported
+ product verdict. Such an experiment never promotes product support. No
+ package, repository, signing-key, or credential change is authorized. If an
+ otherwise required operation controller is unavailable, report `not_tested`
+ and the required next action rather than inventing live availability.
+3. **Authenticate only the selected surface.** Use matching fresh setup
+ evidence when the caller or the agent supplied it. A malformed, stale, or
+ mismatched supplied artifact fails closed and never falls back. For an
+ explicit `pynvc` or `both` request, a genuine `auto` candidate gate, or the
+ unnamed fallback after native is ineligible, with neither setup evidence nor
+ an exact interpreter, check the installed skill catalog. When
+ `jetson-video-setup` is present, invoke its public read-only
+ `probe_nvcodec.py` with `--runtime pynvc` for explicit `pynvc` or the unnamed
+ fallback, or `--runtime both` for `both`/`auto`, and a fresh `--output`;
+ never pass `--setup-candidate`. Inspect the fresh output before using it. A Py
+ candidate is eligible only when the artifact has `mode=live`, the requested
+ GPU, `pynvc.installed=true`, and `pynvc.identity.status=verified`. If
+ routing selects Py, invoke this skill's Py query only under the artifact's
+ lexical `pynvc.identity.interpreter` with `-I` and pass the raw artifact
+ path through `--environment`.
+ If setup is absent, use reason `setup_probe_unavailable`; if it reports an
+ absent, stale, unreadable, invalid-binding, or launch-failure result,
+ preserve that exact typed reason.
+ For explicit `pynvc`/`both`, ask for the exact canonical absolute
+ interpreter. For `auto`, report PyNvVideoCodec as `not_evaluated` with that
+ reason and continue only an eligible native branch. For the unnamed
+ fallback, preserve the typed Py reason beside the ineligible native reason
+ and provide setup remediation; never silently return a native-only
+ unavailable result while a healthy registered Py candidate exists. Never
+ scan or guess.
+ Otherwise use this skill's local query path: a fresh explicit native build
+ workspace, or the exact PyNvVideoCodec interpreter invoking the query under
+ `-I`.
+ Missing prerequisites are `unknown`/`not_ready`; route them to setup and, if
+ setup is absent, instruct its installation.
+4. **Run the selected capability route.** Before invoking it, read the matching
+ command and authentication contract in
+ [native official-sample reports](references/capability-queries.md#native-official-sample-reports),
+ [encoder API query](references/capability-queries.md#encoder-api-query), or
+ [decoder API query](references/capability-queries.md#decoder-api-query).
+ Native uses a supplied verification or a fresh explicit report workspace;
+ Py uses the validated lexical interpreter and includes `--environment` when
+ setup evidence was supplied. Default encoder scope is H.264, HEVC, and AV1.
+ An unconstrained explicit Py decoder-catalog request, or a broad unnamed
+ decoder-catalog request whose fallback selects Py, uses the complete
+ 120-tuple matrix. A bounded subset queries only the named codec families.
+ Keep an unnamed fallback answer at the requested family-summary scope; do
+ not dump tuple-level claims unless the user requested them. For `both`, run
+ the branches independently. Preserve every result as raw report/API
+ evidence; never promote it to product support or operation proof. A failed
+ or unavailable live branch never suppresses the documentation answer.
+5. **Cross-check NVIDIA documentation before deciding whether to run an
+ operation.** Follow the complete
+ [documentation cross-check](references/capability-queries.md#documentation-cross-check)
+ and read the
+ [versioned R39.2/SDK 13.0 Thor baseline](references/capability-queries.md#versioned-r392sdk-130-thor-baseline)
+ before transcribing a dynamic table. Record URLs, retrieval date, literal
+ live identity, exact field label, and the exact row or complete candidate
+ set. Never infer a cell from flattened or ordinal table text. Use only the
+ version-matched SDK 13.0 note for this release; a field it does not establish
+ remains `unknown`.
+6. **Run the smallest matching official operation only when steps 2 and 5
+ require it.** Resolve and validate one exact minimal recipe with
+ `jetson-video-recipe`, then hand its sealed recipe, environment, and input
+ identities to the pipeline-owned controller. Set `PIPELINE_SKILL` to that
+ installed skill's canonical path:
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 -I "$PIPELINE_SKILL/scripts/encode_controller.py" \
+ --request "$OPERATION_REQUEST" --workspace "$FRESH_WORKSPACE" \
+ --output "$OPERATION_RESULT"
+ ```
+
+ A bounded capability smoke operation may use the setup workflow's documented
+ deterministic one-frame raw fixture; it is never representative media and
+ cannot support performance, quality, or pipeline claims. For encode,
+ operation proof requires the independent authenticated decoder to consume
+ the exact output path and SHA-256 and produce the exact decoded frame count.
+ An API response, exit zero, encode marker, or output file alone is
+ insufficient. If `jetson-video-recipe` or `jetson-video-pipeline` is absent,
+ report `not_tested` and name every missing dependency as the next action.
+ AV1 IVF structure may be checked with:
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 -I "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/validate_appenc_av1_ivf.py" \
+ --input "$BITSTREAM" --width "$WIDTH" --height "$HEIGHT" \
+ --expected-frames "$FRAMES" --output "$IVF_REPORT"
+ ```
+
+ `structure_verified` proves container structure only; it never establishes
+ `operation_verified`.
+7. **Publish the reconciled result.** Keep these signals separate:
+
+ - `caps_query`: raw Py API fields and status;
+ - `official_sample_report`: raw native `-ec`/`-dc` inventory, never an API
+ or operation verdict;
+ - `operation_evidence`: `operation_verified`, `operation_failed`, or
+ `not_tested`;
+ - `documentation_crosscheck`: the product-support authority.
+
+ Publish customer-facing support from `documentation_crosscheck`, and report
+ live availability only from a successful exact operation. A directly
+ applicable documentation `No`, including unanimous authenticated candidate
+ rows when exact row identity is unresolved, is the final `unsupported`
+ verdict even if the API advertises fields or an operation succeeds.
+8. **Enumerate ambiguous product rows completely.** When one live identity maps
+ to several authenticated documentation candidates, list every authenticated
+ candidate row by its documentation label and exact queried value and state
+ the candidate count. A subset cannot establish consensus. If candidate
+ values disagree, keep the documentation verdict `unknown`; never choose a
+ nearby product row. Never shrink the candidate set using live API fields
+ such as engine count, dimensions, or format flags; GUID enumeration; an
+ operation outcome; performance; or similarity to a marketing specification.
+ Those are evidence being reconciled, not independent product identity. For
+ a generic `NVIDIA Jetson Thor Developer Kit` / `NVIDIA Thor` identity, the
+ word `Jetson` alone is not an authenticated row discriminator: unless an
+ NVIDIA one-to-one product mapping narrows it, include every Thor row in the
+ combined Jetson/IGX table. Apply this rule to any queried field, not only one
+ codec.
+
+Read [capability-queries.md](references/capability-queries.md) for exact evidence
+semantics and [surface-selection-contract.md](references/surface-selection-contract.md)
+for `native`, `pynvc`, `auto`, and `both` behavior.
+
+## Available Scripts
+
+The four owning scripts are listed in the prerequisite help commands above.
+Invoke them directly, and read
+[capability-queries.md](references/capability-queries.md) for route-specific
+purposes, arguments, and contracts.
+
+## Published artifacts
+
+Capability artifacts are optional refinements; authenticated schema-1.2
+`nvcodec-environment` capabilities remain sufficient for sibling workflows.
+Read [capability-queries.md](references/capability-queries.md) for their exact
+contracts. Never promote sample/API evidence to support or operation proof.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Preserve `capability_reported`, `operation_verified`, `operation_failed`,
+ raw API `unsupported`, and `unknown` as distinct internal states.
+- Treat missing query authority, failed registry authentication, absent API
+ fields, nonzero-GPU PyNv queries, and unavailable exact operations as
+ `unknown` or `not_tested` with a concrete next action.
+- Report a launched exact operation failure as `operation_failed`, not global
+ product unsupported. A native `-ec`/`-dc` report failure remains raw
+ `unknown`.
+- Retry at most once and only after an evidenced condition changes. Use a fresh
+ work directory and output path for the retry.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- PyNvVideoCodec 2.1 encoder and decoder capability helpers select GPU 0;
+ nonzero-GPU results remain unknown.
+- Capability fields do not measure throughput, quality, latency, camera count,
+ or successful concurrent sessions.
+- Objective quality measurement, including PSNR and SSIM, is outside this
+ skill.
+- Results apply to the exact target, software versions, GPU, codec tuple, and
+ operation that produced the evidence.

+## Evidence boundaries
+
+Keep the evidence authorities separate:
+
+| Question | Owner and evidence | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| What is installed now? | `jetson-video-setup` may publish a fresh `nvcodec-environment` `1.2` artifact. | Optional environment inventory plus bounded baseline Py API-query evidence; no support or operation verdict. |
+| What did the native samples summarize? | This skill invokes authenticated `AppEncCuda -ec` and `AppDec -dc` and publishes a native sample capability report. | Raw `official_sample_report` inventory only. |
+| What did the Py codec API report? | This skill publishes the encoder report and decoder matrix from `GetEncoderCaps` and `GetDecoderCaps`. | Raw API-query evidence only. |
+| Did one exact route run? | Setup proves only its fixed readiness smoke; an exact requested codec operation belongs to `jetson-video-recipe` plus `jetson-video-pipeline`. | Live operation evidence for only the tested route. |
+| Does NVIDIA document product support? | The applicable NVIDIA support-matrix row and version-matched SDK application note. | Customer-facing product-support authority. |
+
+An API-positive result is `capability_reported`, not a product-support verdict or operation proof.
+A native `yes`, `no`, or numeric `Supported` value remains sample-reported data and is not promoted
+to an API, operation, or documentation verdict. A matching official operation may be
+`operation_verified` or `operation_failed`, but it does not rewrite either raw report. Publish
+product support from the documentation cross-check and live availability only from a successful
+exact operation. Preserve disagreements instead of silently reconciling them.
+
+Setup does not publish a capability-skill artifact or a product-support verdict. Its environment
+may contain bounded baseline Py API-query fields, and native verification may contain raw
+`-ec`/`-dc` aggregate snapshots alongside the fixed H.264 readiness operation. Those supporting
+observations are neither the complete decoder tuple matrix nor standalone capability reports.
+This skill publishes fresh, independently owned native and Py reports. Setup evidence is optional
+for a selected-surface query. “Supplied” includes a fresh artifact obtained by the agent from the
+installed setup skill's public read-only probe; the customer does not have to repeat an interpreter
+that setup has already authenticated. The producer authenticates supplied evidence and fails closed
+on unavailable, stale, malformed, mismatched, or changing evidence; it never discards a supplied
+artifact and falls back to local discovery. When setup evidence is absent, the producer authenticates
+only its selected local authority. A native-only request requires no Py evidence, a Py-only request
+requires no native evidence, and `both` runs the two authorities independently.
+
+## Optional setup evidence
+
+A supplied native input must be setup's exact `kind=nvcodec-native-verification`,
+`schema_version=1.5` artifact. The producer requires `ready=true`,
+`status=operation_verified`, both fixed H.264 operations verified, verified package ownership,
+the bound schema-1.2 environment, unchanged sample identities, and real driver linkage. It
+reauthenticates all of those facts before executing a requested report and rehashes the artifacts
+and binaries afterward. A valid not-ready or missing verification produces `unknown` and no sample
+launch; malformed evidence, a false readiness claim, or identity drift is a contract failure. No
+supplied-verification failure authorizes the local build path.
+
+A supplied Py input must be the exact live schema-1.2 `nvcodec-environment` artifact for the
+requested GPU. Invoke the query through its declared lexical `pynvc.identity.interpreter`. The
+producer validates only its required subset and permits additive optional keys:
+
+- `kind`, `schema_version`, `mode`, and `selected_gpu`;
+- `pynvc.imported` and `pynvc.identity.status`;
+- `pynvc.identity.interpreter`, `.sys_prefix`, and distribution version;
+- optional `pynvc.identity.interpreter_identity.{path,sha256}` when published;
+- `pynvc.identity.extension.{path,sha256,loaded_path}`;
+- `pynvc.identity.module.{version,path}`.
+
+It compares those declarations with the running interpreter and imported objects, binds the report
+to the environment's path, size, raw and canonical SHA-256 values, and authenticates the same
+artifact and wheel again after querying. An absent or explicitly unavailable declared Py surface
+is `unknown`; malformed, mismatched, or changing supplied evidence fails closed. Neither case may
+fall back to another interpreter or omit `--environment` on a retry.
+
+Without a Py environment artifact, invoke the producer under the exact interpreter whose installed
+PyNvVideoCodec wheel is being queried and omit `--environment`. Before import, the producer requires
+isolated Python and rejects active import-injection variables. Before and after the API calls it
+authenticates the resolved invoking interpreter plus exact public PyNvVideoCodec `2.1.0`
+distribution/module, the imported initializer, the extension actually loaded, and wheel-`RECORD`
+ownership and hashes. The resulting report carries `runtime_binding` instead of `environment`.
+The capability producer never reads a setup registry, scans venv directories, selects an
+interpreter by name or modification time, searches prior attempts, or falls back to system Python.
+The orchestrating agent may instead invoke the installed setup skill's public `probe_nvcodec.py`
+without `--setup-candidate`; that probe alone resolves and reauthenticates the fixed registry. Use
+`--runtime pynvc` for explicit Py or the unnamed fallback after native is ineligible, and
+`--runtime both` for `both` or a genuine `auto` candidate gate. Apply the capability surface
+classification first: a bare ambiguous “video SDK” request stops for clarification, while a
+support/catalog question that names no SDK surface uses native when eligible and this Py registry
+route only when native is ineligible. Serialize a successful choice as explicit `native` or
+`pynvc` before applying the four-value routing contract. The probe may return exit zero with a
+typed not-ready Py result, so inspect the fresh artifact first and preserve that reason. Require
+`mode=live`, the requested GPU,
+`pynvc.installed=true`, and `pynvc.identity.status=verified`. If routing selects Py, only then launch
+the producer under the lexical `pynvc.identity.interpreter` and pass the raw artifact path through
+`--environment`. A blocked artifact is not usable authority.
+
+When the exact selected-surface authority or a build/import prerequisite is unavailable, publish
+`unknown`/`not_ready` without mutation and route that surface to `jetson-video-setup`. If that skill
+is not installed, tell the user to install it. Do not infer package absence, codec support, or
+product support from an import or build-prerequisite failure. For `both`, authenticate and report
+the surfaces independently; a peer-only failure must not suppress the other branch.
+
+## Native official-sample reports
+
+Use system Python under isolation; this route does not import PyNvVideoCodec or setup code. When a
+fresh setup verification is available, supply it:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_native_sample_reports.py" \
+ --native-verification "$NATIVE_VERIFICATION_JSON" \
+ --gpu 0 --timeout 300 \
+ --output "$NATIVE_SAMPLE_REPORT_JSON"
+```
+
+When no setup verification is supplied, use a new, previously absent workspace:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_native_sample_reports.py" \
+ --workspace "$FRESH_NATIVE_REPORT_WORKSPACE" \
+ --gpu 0 --timeout 300 \
+ --output "$NATIVE_SAMPLE_REPORT_JSON"
+```
+
+`--workspace` is mandatory in this mode and is never inferred or reused. The producer
+authenticates the fixed installed `nvidia-video-codec-sdk` package through `dpkg`, configures its
+package-owned SDK 13.0 sample tree in that workspace, and builds only the targets selected by
+`--report`. It performs no package installation, repository or key change, repair, fixture
+creation, or media operation; all configure and build products use its fresh workspace.
+
+`--report` is repeatable with closed values `encoder` and `decoder`. Omission selects both in
+encoder-then-decoder order; repetition is deduplicated. Each selected command runs at most once:
+
+```text
+ -ec
+ -dc
+```
+
+This route is media-free and query-only, but it opens the native driver. The supplied-verification
+path does not build. The no-verification path creates only its explicit fresh build workspace.
+When `both` surfaces are requested, run this producer independently from the Py API producers; one
+branch's failure must not suppress the other.
+
+### Input authentication
+
+Treat `--native-verification` as a versioned local attestation, not as trusted paths:
+
+1. Strictly read a regular, non-symlink JSON file with no duplicate keys, non-finite numbers,
+ unknown schema major, or read-time mutation.
+2. Require the frozen schema-`1.5` native verification with `ready=true`,
+ `status=operation_verified`, `software_fallback=false`, matching GPU, both fixed H.264
+ operations verified, and verified package ownership.
+3. Rehash and reauthenticate its exact environment artifact, including the canonical JSON digest.
+4. Require installed `nvidia-video-codec-sdk` `13.0.x`; re-run exact `dpkg-query` and silent
+ `dpkg --verify`.
+5. Rehash each requested absolute package-built sample and require the recorded binary path to
+ match its identity.
+6. Re-run `ldd` and require real non-stub driver linkage: encoder to `libcuda.so.1` and
+ `libnvidia-encode.so.1`, decoder to `libcuda.so.1` and `libnvcuvid.so.1`.
+7. Rehash the input artifact, environment, and each executed binary again before publishing.
+
+A valid but not-ready verification yields `unknown`, launches no sample, and exits `2`. Claimed
+readiness with malformed structure, identity/package/linkage drift, or tampering launches no sample
+and exits `3`. Supplying this option commits the request to that evidence path; the producer never
+falls back to a local build if authentication fails.
+
+When `--native-verification` is omitted, authenticate the local native authority instead:
+
+1. Require a fresh explicit `--workspace` whose canonical, non-symlink parent already exists.
+2. Resolve exactly `/usr/bin/dpkg-query` and `/usr/bin/dpkg`; require the fixed
+ `nvidia-video-codec-sdk` package installed at public SDK `13.0.x`, enumerate its owned files, and
+ require silent `dpkg --verify`.
+3. Resolve and record the fixed compiler/configuration tools and the first executable `nvcc` in its
+ bounded preference order, then require that selected compiler to be CUDA 13.x. Resolve the first
+ usable generator in its bounded preference order. Require FFmpeg development modules only when
+ decoder reporting is requested.
+4. Configure the package-owned `Samples` tree inside the fresh workspace and issue one bounded
+ `cmake --build ... --target ` for each requested report: `AppEncCuda` for `encoder` and
+ `AppDec` for `decoder`. Do not build an unrequested target.
+5. Rehash the tools and built binaries, require real non-stub driver linkage, run each requested
+ report once, then reauthenticate the fixed package and binary identities before publishing.
+
+An unavailable package, tool, development module, configure/build prerequisite, or requested
+authority launches no report and exits `2`; apply the shared missing-prerequisite remediation in
+**Optional setup evidence** above. Malformed package ownership, unexpected SDK version, integrity
+drift, unsafe paths, or tampering fails closed with exit `3`.
+
+### Artifact and classification
+
+With a supplied verification, the producer publishes this deterministic outer contract:
+
+```json
+{
+ "kind": "nvcodec-native-sample-capability-report",
+ "schema_version": "1.0",
+ "status": "complete",
+ "authority": "native_official_samples",
+ "gpu": 0,
+ "requested_reports": ["encoder", "decoder"],
+ "native_verification": {
+ "initial_identity": {},
+ "terminal_identity": {},
+ "canonical_sha256": "...",
+ "kind": "nvcodec-native-verification",
+ "schema_version": "1.5",
+ "ready": true,
+ "status": "operation_verified",
+ "environment_identity": {},
+ "package": {},
+ "samples": {}
+ },
+ "aggregate_encoder_capabilities": {},
+ "aggregate_decoder_capabilities": {},
+ "summary": {"completed": 2, "unknown": 0, "not_requested": 0}
+}
+```
+
+Without a verification, the same outer report records
+`native_verification.status=not_supplied`, `native_verification.ready=false`, and a
+`local_authentication` block containing the authenticated package, fresh build, requested targets,
+tools, built sample identities, and linkage. That `not_supplied` value is not a readiness failure:
+the report's authority comes from the separately recorded local package authentication. It does not
+promote the sample output to setup readiness or operation proof.
+
+Top-level `status` is `complete` when all requested reports parse, `partial` when at least one
+completes and one is unknown, and `unknown` when none completes. An unrequested family remains
+present with `status=not_requested`. A requested family is only `completed` or `unknown`.
+`complete` means the official sample's report grammar was captured; it does not mean setup ready,
+API-reported support, exact operation success, throughput, or documented product support.
+
+Both aggregate records use:
+
+```json
+{
+ "evidence_source_type": "official_sample_report",
+ "official_sample": true,
+ "scope": "sample_reported"
+}
+```
+
+The encoder classification names `AppEncCuda` and `-ec`; the decoder classification names `AppDec`
+and `-dc`. Do not emit `supported=true`, `capability_reported`, `operation_verified`, or a
+documentation verdict from either aggregate.
+
+### Accepted report grammars
+
+Every requested report requires exit `0`, no timeout, complete bounded stdout/stderr evidence, no
+recognized CUDA/NVENC/NVDEC/error/failure marker, the selected GPU where the format can identify
+one, and unchanged binary identity. Preserve the complete streams, sizes, SHA-256 values, display
+tails, parsed raw records, and the recognized `format_variant`.
+
+For `AppEncCuda -ec`, accept either:
+
+- the legacy summary grammar: exactly one `Encoder Capability Summary`, one detail hint, unique
+ `GPU - ` blocks containing the selected GPU, exactly one codec-support section and
+ one capability-summary-table section per GPU, and exactly one `H264`, `HEVC`, and `AV1` row; or
+- the released R39.2 compact grammar: exactly one `Encoder Capability`, unique
+ `GPU - ` blocks containing the selected GPU, and exactly one basic `H264`, `HEVC`,
+ and `AV1` `yes`/`no` row per GPU. This real format has no synthetic sections or detail hint.
+
+Preserve the basic encoder row values as lowercase `yes` or `no`; they remain
+`sample_reported_codec_rows`, never support.
+
+For `AppDec -dc`, accept either:
+
+- the legacy summary grammar: unique `GPU - ` blocks containing the selected GPU,
+ exactly one `GPU Decoder Capabilities` and `Codec Support Summary` per GPU, and one detail hint;
+ or
+- the released R39.2 compact grammar: exactly one `Decoder Capability`, exactly one
+ `GPU in use: `, and at least one strict
+ `Codec ... BitDepth ... ChromaFormat ... Supported ...` row. Because that format carries no GPU
+ ordinal, it is eligible only for requested GPU `0`.
+
+Preserve every compact decoder row and its raw numeric `Supported` value. Do not synthesize the
+complete `cuvidGetDecoderCaps` tuple matrix or turn any value into product support. The Py decoder
+producer remains the distinct API authority for that matrix.
+
+Encoder and decoder reports are independent inventory commands: failure of one does not suppress
+the other.
+
+### Exit codes
+
+| Condition | rc |
+|---|---:|
+| All requested reports completed | `0` |
+| Selected native authority or prerequisite unavailable, or any requested report unknown | `2` |
+| Malformed arguments/artifact, identity or linkage drift, unsafe output, write failure, or internal contract failure | `3` |
+
+Every handled path prints exactly one strict JSON document. Child exit codes remain inside their
+aggregate records and are never returned directly.
+
+## Encoder API query
+
+PyNvVideoCodec exposes `GetEncoderCaps(gpuid, codec)`. The binding selects device 0 internally, so
+nonzero-GPU encoder capability remains `unknown`.
+
+Invoke this skill's producer directly under the exact PyNvVideoCodec interpreter to query. Setup
+evidence is optional, so the baseline local-authentication command omits `--environment`:
+
+```bash
+"$PYNVC_PYTHON" -I \
+ "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_encoder_caps.py" \
+ --gpu 0 \
+ --output "$ENCODER_REPORT_JSON"
+```
+
+The producer authenticates that exact lexical and resolved interpreter, `sys.prefix`, public
+PyNvVideoCodec `2.1.0` distribution and imported module, initializer, and loaded extension before
+and after the query. It requires wheel-`RECORD` ownership and records a `runtime_binding`; it never
+scans for a venv or selects another interpreter.
+
+When the caller supplies a setup environment, use its declared lexical interpreter and pass the
+artifact explicitly:
+
+```bash
+"$VALIDATED_PYNVC_PYTHON" -I \
+ "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_encoder_caps.py" \
+ --environment "$ENVIRONMENT_JSON" --gpu 0 \
+ --output "$ENCODER_REPORT_JSON"
+```
+
+The producer must authenticate and bind that exact artifact before and after the query. A supplied
+environment is never ignored and an authentication failure never falls back to the local-only
+route.
+
+With no repeated `--codec`, the producer queries `h264`, `hevc`, and `av1`. It publishes:
+
+- `kind=nvcodec-encoder-capability-report`;
+- `schema_version=1.0`;
+- `authority=pynvc`;
+- `evidence_classification.encode` with
+ `evidence_source_type=api_query_helper`, `official_sample=false`, and
+ `api_symbol=PyNvVideoCodec.GetEncoderCaps`;
+- the observed linked NVENC API and one `encode.` record per requested codec.
+
+`GetEncoderCaps` returns capability fields but no explicit boolean codec-support result. A
+successful record is therefore `status=capability_reported`, `supported=null`,
+`session_status=opened_by_GetEncoderCaps`, and `operation_status=not_tested`; never promote it to
+`supported=true`. The loaded extension may expose NVENC API 12.1 or 13.0. Fields absent from a 12.1
+header remain unqueryable/`unknown`, not unsupported.
+
+Use the returned minimum and maximum dimensions before planning an exact operation. NV12 dimensions
+must be even. Producer exit codes are `0` for complete, `2` for partial/unknown, and `3` for
+authentication, malformed-input, or safe-write failure. A declared absent, unimported, or
+unverified `pynvc` authority, a local import failure, or unavailable local wheel authority is
+`unknown` with exit `2`, not a codec or product-support verdict. Route missing prerequisites to
+`jetson-video-setup` without mutation and tell the user to install that skill if it is absent.
+
+## Decoder API query
+
+PyNvVideoCodec exposes `GetDecoderCaps(gpuid, codec, chromaformat, bitdepth)`. It also routes the
+query to device 0, so nonzero-GPU results remain `unknown`.
+
+Invoke this skill's producer directly under the exact PyNvVideoCodec interpreter. Omit
+`--environment` when no setup artifact is supplied:
+
+```bash
+"$PYNVC_PYTHON" -I \
+ "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_decoder_caps.py" \
+ --gpu 0 \
+ --output "$DECODER_MATRIX_JSON"
+```
+
+This path performs the same before-and-after local interpreter, wheel-`RECORD`, initializer, and
+loaded-extension authentication as the encoder producer and publishes `runtime_binding`. Never
+scan for, guess, or silently change the invoking interpreter. If a setup environment is supplied,
+invoke its declared lexical interpreter and include `--environment "$ENVIRONMENT_JSON"`; the
+producer must validate and bind that artifact and may not fall back if it fails.
+
+The default matrix contains all ten decoder families:
+
+`mpeg1`, `mpeg2`, `mpeg4`, `vc1`, `h264`, `hevc`, `vp8`, `vp9`, `av1`, and `jpeg`.
+
+Each family is queried across `monochrome`, `420`, `422`, and `444` chroma at 8-, 10-, and 12-bit
+depth, for 120 tuples. Keep JPEG exactly as the live API reports it; never pre-assume its state.
+Repeat `--codec` to request a subset in one fresh artifact:
+
+```bash
+"$PYNVC_PYTHON" -I \
+ "$CAPABILITY_SKILL/scripts/query_decoder_caps.py" \
+ --gpu 0 \
+ --codec h264 --codec hevc --codec av1 \
+ --output "$DECODER_SUBSET_JSON"
+```
+
+Use the complete matrix for an unconstrained explicit Py decoder catalog. Also use it when a broad
+unnamed decoder-catalog request reaches Py only because native was ineligible, but summarize that
+fallback at family level and do not dump unsolicited tuple claims. For a bounded request such as
+H.264, HEVC, and AV1, repeat `--codec` only for those named families; that example produces 36
+tuples rather than expanding to all 120.
+
+The producer publishes `kind=nvcodec-decoder-capability-matrix`, its current
+`schema_version=1.2`, and the exact classification
+`evidence_source_type=api_query_helper`, `official_sample=false`, and
+`api_symbol=PyNvVideoCodec.GetDecoderCaps`.
+
+Gate every returned field on `bIsSupported`:
+
+- `bIsSupported=1` becomes raw `status=capability_reported`, `supported=true`, and applicable
+ limits. Here `supported=true` records only the API flag; it is not the documented product verdict.
+- `bIsSupported=0` becomes raw `status=unsupported`, `supported=false`, with the remaining zeroed
+ output fields inapplicable.
+- A missing enum, failed call, absent flag, or missing result is `unknown`.
+
+The encoder report and decoder matrix are separate artifacts with separate classifications. Neither
+may be substituted by setup inventory or sample output. Missing local import or wheel prerequisites
+produce `unknown` plus non-mutating `jetson-video-setup` remediation; if setup is not installed,
+tell the user to install it. Malformed or mismatched supplied evidence fails closed and never
+authorizes a retry without that evidence.
+
+## Setup readiness verification
+
+Setup verification is an optional fixed installation-readiness proof, not a prerequisite for
+capability capture. The PyNv verifier runs the wheel-owned official CPU-buffer encoder and a
+profile-selected decoder for exactly one 640x360 NV12 frame of H.264:
+
+```bash
+"$VALIDATED_PYNVC_PYTHON" -I \
+ "$SETUP_SKILL/scripts/setup/verify_pynvc_sample.py" \
+ --environment "$ENVIRONMENT_JSON" --gpu 0 \
+ --work-dir "$FRESH_SETUP_WORK_DIR" \
+ --output "$FRESH_SETUP_REPORT_JSON"
+```
+
+It always requires exactly one encoded-frame marker and a fresh nonempty H.264 bitstream. The
+default `pynvc-smoke` profile runs `advanced/decode_perf.py` and requires both anchored one-frame
+production markers exactly once, with no worker warning, error, or traceback; that sample writes no
+raw output. The explicit `full-samples` profile runs `advanced/decode.py` and additionally requires
+one decoded-frame marker plus an exact 345,600-byte decoded NV12 output. The native verifier uses
+the same fixed one-frame scope and exact raw-output proof with its package-owned samples. None of
+these setup proofs enumerates codecs, emits capability records, proves another tuple, or publishes
+product support.
+
+Every verification attempt needs a fresh work directory and output path. A failed attempt consumes
+both paths; do not overwrite or reinterpret it as package absence.
+
+## Documentation cross-check
+
+After preserving the raw query, cross-check the target before deciding whether an exact operation
+is useful. Use NVIDIA's public
+[Video Encode and Decode Support Matrix](https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-support-matrix)
+and the version-matched Video Codec SDK 13.0
+[NVENC](https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/13.0/nvenc-application-note/index.html)
+or
+[NVDEC](https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/13.0/nvdec-application-note/index.html)
+application note.
+
+Obtain that live model evidence read-only, never by guessing a SKU. Use a supplied authenticated
+`nvcodec-environment` artifact only when it actually carries literal exact model evidence; its
+platform record normally reports system, release, machine, Jetson Linux version, and GPU name,
+none of which identify an exact board model or SKU. Otherwise read the fixed device-tree identity

+- Skill: `jetson-video-pipeline`
+- Evaluation date: 2026-08-10
+- Evaluator version: `1.1.2`
+- Agents: Claude Code (`aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8`), Codex (`openai/openai/gpt-5.5`)
+- Tasks: 2 evaluation tasks (2 positive)
+- Dataset digest: `sha256:2954de192ec504a13b63de5d546a514eafdc11544903c203f84432c93bb7a5be` (skill-evaluator-dataset-snapshot/1)

+
+## What This Report Answers
+
+The three-tier evaluation checks whether the skill:
+
+- is safe to use;
+- produces correct answers;
+- is discovered and activated when needed;
+- helps the agent complete the user's goal and expected workflow; and
+- avoids wasted skill and tool usage.
+
+## Results at a Glance
+
+| Measure | Claude Code (Baseline → Skill Uplift) | Codex (Baseline → Skill Uplift) |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Overall | 50% → 100% (+50 points) | 35% → 71% (+36 points) |
+| Security | 100% → 100% (±0 points) | 100% → 100% (±0 points) |
+| Correctness | 40% → 100% (+60 points) | 40% → 30% (-10 points) |
+| Discoverability | 50% → 100% (+50 points) | 22% → 94% (+72 points) |
+| Effectiveness | 30% → 100% (+70 points) | 0% → 30% (+30 points) |
+| Efficiency | 31% → 100% (+69 points) | 11% → 100% (+89 points) |
+
+**How to read this table:** baseline is the same task attempted without the target skill. Uplift is `skill score - baseline score`, shown in percentage points.
+
+Example: `47% → 92% (+45 points)` means the skill-assisted run scored 92%, 45 percentage points above its 47% no-skill baseline.
+

+
+Show dimension definitions, source signals, and thresholds
+
+| Dimension | Question | Scored signals |
+|---|---|---|
+| Security | Is it safe to use? | `security` (100%) |
+| Correctness | Is the answer correct? | `accuracy` (100%) |
+| Discoverability | Was the right skill loaded when needed? | `skill_execution` (100%) |
+| Effectiveness | Did the skill help complete the task? | `goal_accuracy` (50%) + `behavior_check` (50%) |
+| Efficiency | Did it avoid wasted tool or skill usage? | `skill_efficiency` (100%) |
+
+- Dimension bands: PASS at 50% or above; NEUTRAL from 40% to below 50%; FAIL below 40%.
+- Overall Tier 3 lift: PASS at +5 points or more; FAIL at -10 points or less; values between those bands are NEUTRAL.
+- Overall verdict: PASS only when every configured dimension passes for at least one supported agent. Lift is reported as diagnostic evidence and does not override this gate.
+- The 50% attempt pass threshold is a separate per-task gate; it is not the dimension pass threshold.
+- Effectiveness is the equal-weight mean of goal completion (`goal_accuracy`) and expected workflow adherence (`behavior_check`).
+- Token efficiency is a separate report-only signal. It does not change a dimension score or the overall verdict.
+
+Signals present in this run:
+
+- `security` (Security): unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
+- `skill_execution` (Skill Execution): whether the expected skill was found and executed.
+- `skill_efficiency` (Efficiency): routing quality, workspace-aware skill reads, and productive tool use.
+- `accuracy` (Accuracy): final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
+- `goal_accuracy` (Goal Accuracy): whether the user's goal was achieved.
+- `behavior_check` (Behavior Check): whether the expected workflow behavior was followed.
+
+
+
+## Freshness
+
+Regenerate this benchmark when the skill, evaluation dataset, target agent/model, evaluator version, environment, or scoring policy changes.

+ Use when executing and verifying Jetson Video Codec SDK or PyNvVideoCodec
+ encode/decode, transcode, segmentation, container decode, AV1, or acceptance
+ workflows with exact artifact handoffs.

+
+# Jetson Video Pipeline
+
+## Purpose
+
+Execute official-sample codec stages and prove that every consumer used the
+exact artifact produced by the preceding stage. Use this skill for
+encode-then-decode verification, native H.264-to-HEVC transcode, PyNvVideoCodec
+segments, container decode triage, AV1 operation verification, or a compact
+customer acceptance package.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Run execution on the target Jetson with direct GPU access. A fresh validated
+ schema-1.2 `nvcodec-environment` identity from `jetson-video-setup` is
+ optional. When supplied it is authoritative, and invalid or stale evidence
+ fails closed without local fallback. The agent may obtain it from setup's
+ public read-only probe; it need not be supplied in the customer's prompt.
+- Without setup evidence, authenticate only the selected installed surface.
+ Native routes inspect the fixed dpkg package, package-owned official sample
+ sources, build tools, and non-stub linkage. PyNvVideoCodec routes require an
+ authenticated setup environment or the caller's exact absolute
+ `pynvc_interpreter`; never scan for a venv. Before asking for that path,
+ invoke setup's public probe when that skill is installed and inspect its
+ typed result.
+ These read-only checks install, repair, register, and smoke-test nothing.
+- Recipe-bearing routes require sibling `jetson-video-recipe` and one of its
+ validated schema-2 recipes. If its canonical public CLI is present, invoke
+ it; if absent, preserve `dependency_required`, name that skill, and tell the
+ user to install it and retry the stage. Recipe-free decode/segmentation
+ routes do not acquire that dependency.
+- `capability_report` is an optional encode-request member, never a required
+ one. The established authority for PyNvVideoCodec encoder capabilities is the
+ `capabilities` block of the schema-1.2 `nvcodec-environment` artifact; an
+ encode request that omits `capability_report` is fully supported and reads
+ that block. When capability-owned freshness is wanted, a request may
+ additionally carry a schema-1.0 `nvcodec-encoder-capability-report` produced
+ by `jetson-video-capability` from the *same* environment artifact. When
+ supplied, that report becomes the selected Py encoder API evidence for the
+ check; it does not replace the environment artifact or its readiness facts.
+ Do not add the member to an independently constructed request merely because
+ the `pynvc` surface may be selected. It is optional on either surface, affects
+ Py capability classification only, and should be omitted for native; absence
+ never fails.
+- When setup is installed, read its shared
+ [video content policy](../jetson-video-setup/references/video-content.md)
+ and apply its input gate before any normal pipeline dry run or execution.
+ Setup is not required solely for this policy: without it, require one exact
+ user-selected path or URL, never substitute catalog or synthetic media, and
+ preserve source URL, license, attribution, path, size, and SHA-256.
+- PyNvVideoCodec routes that encode or invoke `advanced/decode.py`, including
+ encode/decode, segmentation, and Py container triage, require a separately
+ validated `full-samples` venv. The default `pynvc-smoke` environment is a
+ setup-readiness proof and must block these routes before workspace creation;
+ return a structured `jetson-video-setup` dependency and provision a new
+ full-samples venv rather than upgrading it in place. If that skill is absent,
+ tell the user to install it before retrying.
+- The direct `encode` controller has one narrower consumer exception:
+ `jetson-video-capability` may bind setup's deterministic one-frame raw
+ fixture for an exact bounded capability smoke operation. That result is
+ operation evidence only, never representative pipeline or performance proof.
+
+## Compose requested sibling stages
+
+Recipe-free decode and segmentation routes require no sibling when the selected
+SDK prerequisites already exist. Add `jetson-video-recipe` only for a
+recipe-bearing stage, `jetson-video-benchmark` only for requested performance,
+`jetson-video-setup` only for installation, repair, or one read-only handoff
+when registered Python authority is required, and
+`jetson-video-capability` only for a requested support verdict or fresh
+acceptance capability artifact. Use the agent runtime's installed-skill catalog
+before each stage; do not scan arbitrary directories. If the sibling is
+present, read its `SKILL.md` and invoke its
+documented public entry point; pass artifacts as data and never import sibling
+code. If it is absent, preserve completed stages and artifacts and say, using
+the actual names: `I can run , but it requires , which is not
+installed. Install and retry this stage.` Never promote a partial
+workflow to complete or require an optional sibling.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Apply the scope boundary. For a request
+ solely for objective quality metrics, including PSNR or SSIM, state only
+ that this skill does not provide them and that a separately authorized
+ quality workflow is required, then stop. Do not name or recommend an
+ external tool, and do not offer to configure or run the comparison. For a
+ request limited to capture, transport, AI, display, or glass-to-glass
+ latency, state that those stages are outside this codec skill and stop
+ without naming, recommending, or offering another tool or workflow.
+ Otherwise proceed immediately to the media gate in step 2; choose
+ `encode_decode`, `native_transcode`, `pynvc_segments`, `container_triage`,
+ `av1_verify`, or `acceptance` only after that gate clears.
+2. For every remaining request to plan, dry-run, or execute a pipeline route,
+ including “plan only” or “do not run”, apply this gate
+ before route selection and before prerequisite, sibling, reference, or
+ script inspection. Do not decompose a media-gated pipeline request into a
+ media-free recipe subtask. If media is missing, return `input_required` and
+ stop before target probing, browsing, retrieval, authentication, dry run, or
+ operation launch. Ask only for the missing media at this gate; do not also
+ inspect controller help, describe or plan the route, list future stages or
+ handoffs, or request an interpreter, environment, recipe, or later-stage
+ field. The complete response at this terminal gate consists only of
+ `input_required` and one request for an exact target-local media path or
+ user-supplied HTTP(S) URL. Never choose substitute media. The
+ capability-smoke exception above applies only to the direct `encode`
+ controller and must not be promoted to pipeline completion.
+3. Canonicalize and hash an exact local input. For URL input, preserve the
+ exact user-supplied URL, then retrieve, canonicalize, and hash it only after
+ target eligibility, authorization, and runtime-authority gates pass.
+4. Preserve explicit `native`, `pynvc`, or `both`. Treat “whichever”, “best
+ available”, “choose for me”, and other unspecified-surface wording as
+ `auto`, never as `both`. Reserve `both` for an explicit request to run or
+ compare both surfaces.
+5. After the input gate and surface classification, select exactly one runtime
+ authority for each selected surface. If the caller supplies a setup
+ environment identity, validate and bind that exact artifact to dry-run and
+ execute; never ignore it or substitute a local fallback. If PyNvVideoCodec
+ may participate and neither an environment nor exact interpreter was
+ supplied, invoke installed `jetson-video-setup` through its public read-only
+ `probe_nvcodec.py`: use `--runtime pynvc` for explicit Python or `--runtime
+ both` for `both`/`auto`, a fresh `--output`, and never
+ `--setup-candidate`. Inspect the fresh artifact; only a live artifact whose
+ selected Py surface is installed and whose `pynvc.identity.status` is
+ `verified` is usable. Snapshot that exact file as the controller's portable
+ `environment` identity with exactly `schema_version`, `kind`, canonical
+ absolute `path`, `size_bytes`, and lowercase `sha256`; do not import sibling
+ code or pass a blocked probe as authority. If setup is absent or reports any
+ not-ready, unreadable, stale, binding, or launch failure, ask for and supply
+ the exact `pynvc_interpreter` only for explicit `pynvc`/`both`. For `auto`,
+ keep Py `not_evaluated` and continue only an eligible native surface. The
+ controller derives a private local binding, never accepts that binding from
+ a request, and revalidates it before launch. If local authentication fails,
+ use setup for only that exact surface when installed.
+6. Apply the `auto` gate using only the selected runtime authority: zero
+ eligible surfaces block, one runs, and two return `selection_required`;
+ never rank the surfaces in this gate. With two eligible surfaces, this gate
+ is unconditional: do not search old results or benchmark to make the choice.
+ Ask for exactly `native`, `pynvc`, or `both`, then stop
+ before dry run or launch. Never trust a prompt's statement that a surface is
+ ready: establish eligibility from the supplied or freshly probed authority.
+ Without setup evidence or an exact local `pynvc_interpreter`, record
+ PyNvVideoCodec as `not_evaluated` with the retry action; do not let that
+ optional peer block an otherwise eligible native `auto` route. Explicit
+ `pynvc` or `both` still requires one of those two authorities.
+7. Before any codec launch, authenticate each selected executable from the
+ installed Video Codec SDK package or each Python sample from the selected
+ wheel and interpreter. Use only those authenticated NVIDIA sample routes;
+ if none can satisfy a stage, report that stage blocked.
+8. For a multi-stage `pipeline` request, compose only the required siblings.
+ If a requested performance stage needs `jetson-video-benchmark`, invoke its
+ installed public controller; if absent, preserve completed pipeline stages
+ and report that the benchmark stage is `dependency_required` with an
+ install-and-retry action. Run pipeline `dry_run`, review the
+ complete recipe and sample arguments, then run `execute` with fresh result
+ and workspace paths. Invoke this skill's public controller directly:
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 -I {baseDir}/scripts/pipeline_controller.py \
+ --request request.json --workspace fresh-workspace \
+ --output result.json
+ ```
+
+ A single encode-then-independent-decode request invokes
+ `scripts/encode_controller.py` with the same three arguments. That
+ controller is execution-only: validate and review its recipe and request
+ envelope first, then invoke it once with fresh output and workspace paths;
+ do not claim it performed an internal dry run.
+9. Require exact positive markers and counts, no explicit failure marker, and
+ fresh nonempty outputs. Reopen and rehash every original handoff. An
+ independent decoder must consume the exact producer path, size, and
+ SHA-256 and produce the expected frames.
+10. For native transcode, accept exactly one authenticated AppTrans completion
+ marker in either released form: legacy `(#totFrames=N)` or current
+ `Total frame transcoded: N`. Reject missing, duplicate, or mixed markers.
+11. Preserve each segment or surface result independently. A failed peer yields
+ an honest partial result rather than summary-level completion.
+12. For acceptance, let the controller validate and write its nine physical
+ pre-seal files and return `seal_pending: true`; those are distinct from the
+ reference keys and stage rows. Keep large media/build artifacts external,
+ then have the agent create the checksum manifest last—the controller does
+ not create it.

+## Limitations
+
+- This skill covers NVIDIA codec stages and their artifact handoffs, not
+ capture, network transport, AI inference, display, or glass-to-glass latency.
+- It does not implement PSNR or SSIM quality measurement.
+- A capability query, exit zero, or output-file creation is never operation
+ proof.
+- Container demux is allowed only through libavformat embedded in an
+ authenticated released NVIDIA sample.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Return the exact failed gate, producer, consumer, artifact path, and reason.
+- Preserve `input_required`, `selection_required`, `blocked`, `partial`, and
+ `failed` rather than claiming a complete pipeline.
+- Reject stale outputs, symlinks where forbidden, path/size/SHA drift,
+ malformed request or evidence JSON, wrong frame counts, and duplicate
+ completion markers.
+- Retry at most once and only after evidence identifies a changed condition,
+ such as a repaired dependency, a newly supplied artifact, or a changed
+ path/size/SHA-256 binding. Repeating an unchanged failed command is forbidden.

+# Official sample routes and provenance
+
+Only released NVIDIA samples may perform codec work. This skill keeps its exact
+pipeline subset beside its authenticator:
+
+- `scripts/_pipeline_provenance.py:NATIVE_ROUTES` owns the native package
+ sample paths, source/CMake paths, and required runtime libraries used here.
+- `scripts/_pipeline_provenance.py:PYNVC_ROUTES` owns the PyNvVideoCodec 2.1
+ wheel sample paths and required `RECORD` members used here.
+
+The allowlists are static routing facts, not readiness or operation proof. Every selected
+file is still authenticated from the current installed package or wheel before launch,
+and its path, size, and SHA-256 are rechecked immediately before execution.
+Authenticating a route never selects or acquires non-smoke media. Recipe execution,
+performance/benchmarking, content-sensitive comparison, and pipeline routes require an absolute
+target-local path or exact user-supplied HTTP(S) URL, never catalog or synthetic substitution, and
+preserved provenance and identity. When setup is installed, also apply its shared
+[video content policy](../../jetson-video-setup/references/video-content.md).
+Missing input is `input_required` and pauses before route authentication or
+launch. Only setup/readiness and minimal capability-operation smoke tests may
+use the documented deterministic synthetic fixture.
+
+## Active routes
+
+Pipeline-native routes are `AppEncCuda`, `AppDec`, and `AppTrans`.
+
+Pipeline PyNvVideoCodec routes are `samples/basic/encode.py`,
+`samples/advanced/decode.py`, and `samples/basic/create_video_segments.py`.
+
+The current public controllers intentionally use smaller route subsets:
+
+- pipeline encode: `AppEncCuda` + `AppDec`, or basic encode + advanced decode;
+- multi-stage pipeline: `AppEncCuda`, `AppDec`, `AppTrans`, basic segments, and
+ advanced decode.
+
+Do not route a sample merely because it appears in an SDK source tree. It must be present
+in the installed package or selected wheel and implemented by the chosen controller.
+
+## Evidence classifications
+
+Keep these observations separate:
+
+- `api_query_helper`: API fields only; never operation proof or live availability;
+- `official_sample_report`: an authenticated official sample report mode;
+- `official_sample_operation`: an authenticated sample actually executed;
+- `documentation_reference`: product-support authority for the exact tuple, but never live
+ readiness, availability, or operation proof;
+- `absent_release_sample`: not shipped by the authenticated release payload;
+- `source_tree_candidate`: visible in source, but not yet an installed runnable route.
+
+An operation is verified only when its exact positive markers and counts are present, no
+failure marker appears, the requested output is fresh and nonempty, and the independent
+consumer verifies the same path and SHA-256. Exit zero, import success, or output creation
+alone is insufficient.
+
+## Updating a route
+
+Changing either allowlist requires matching controller support and focused tests for its
+package/wheel identity, exact argv, help-advertised options, markers, fresh outputs, and
+producer-to-consumer handoff. Never add a compatibility alias or fallback that silently
+changes the requested codec, surface, format, or operation.

+## Contents

+- [Owner and exact CLI](#owner-and-exact-cli)
+- [Pipeline request schema](#pipeline-request-schema)
+- [Workflow](#workflow)
+- [Acceptance content evidence](#acceptance-content-evidence)
+
+Run compact, authenticated multi-stage Video SDK routes and verify every
+producer-to-consumer handoff. This workflow owns encode/decode chains, native
+transcode, PyNvVideoCodec segmentation, container decode triage, AV1 verification,
+and the customer acceptance package. Each stage uses only released samples; libavformat
+embedded in released NVIDIA samples is allowed only for container demux.
+
+## Owner and exact CLI
+
+One controller owns this domain:
+**`jetson-video-pipeline/scripts/pipeline_controller.py`**. Launch it directly
+in isolated mode:
+
+```text
+python3 -I scripts/pipeline_controller.py \
+ --request nvcodec-pipeline-request.json \
+ --workspace fresh-workspace-dir \
+ --output nvcodec-pipeline-result.json
+```
+
+All three flags are required (`--help` supported). Exit `0` when `status` is `complete`
+or `planned`, `2` on a safe block or stage failure, `3` on malformed input or an
+internal error.
+
+## Pipeline request schema
+
+`--request` is a `schema_version: "1.0"`, `kind: "nvcodec-pipeline-request"` object.
+`mode` is exactly `dry_run` (plan only) or `execute` (default `execute`). `route` is
+exactly one of:
+
+| `route` | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `encode_decode` | Encode then independently decode/verify the same artifact (native, or the same request through native and Python for a dual-surface comparison) |
+| `native_transcode` | Native H.264 → HEVC transcode with usable-output proof |
+| `pynvc_segments` | Split a clip into independently usable PyNvVideoCodec segments and validate each |
+| `container_triage` | Demux a user-supplied local container, or retrieve the exact user-supplied HTTP(S) URL, then decode and report hardware-decode support (`surface` must be `native` or `pynvc`) |
+| `av1_verify` | Verify AV1 encode from an AV1 recipe with an exact native projection and positive `frame_count` |
+| `acceptance` | Aggregate setup, capabilities, P4/P5 encode/decode, and throughput into one acceptance package |
+
+`container_triage` also requires `target_eligibility` with exactly `eligible`
+(boolean) and `reasons` (a list of nonempty strings). Use
+`{"eligible": true, "reasons": []}` only after identifying the current target
+as an eligible released Jetson route; otherwise set `eligible` false and record
+the observed reasons. This gate is request planning context, not an SDK setup
+artifact or a codec-support verdict.
+
+For `encode_decode`, the controller consumes one authenticated encode-request artifact
+and calls the landed recipe/encode owner. Other routes authenticate their exact sample
+set directly. A completed `container_triage` result retains its workspace-relative
+decoded-frame evidence and also returns `decode.raw_video` as the exact portable absolute
+identity that the encode controller accepts directly. `av1_verify` owns the complete IVF
+frame walk and independent AppDec proof;
+setup capability queries remain separate context and are never treated as that proof.
+
+`environment` is an optional portable identity for a fresh schema-1.2 setup
+artifact. Setup emits raw JSON; the request carries an exact identity with only
+`schema_version`, `kind`, canonical absolute `path`, `size_bytes`, and lowercase
+`sha256`. When supplied it is authoritative and must validate. When omitted,
+the controller authenticates the selected installed surface locally;
+PyNvVideoCodec routes additionally require the exact absolute
+`pynvc_interpreter`. A controller-produced local binding is private evidence
+and is never accepted as a request member.
+
+After the media gate, an agent that needs `pynvc` or `both` and has neither a
+supplied environment nor exact interpreter first checks the installed skill
+catalog. If `jetson-video-setup` is present, invoke its public
+`probe_nvcodec.py` with a fresh output, `--runtime pynvc` for Python-only or
+`--runtime both` for `both`/`auto`, and no `--setup-candidate`. Setup alone
+resolves and reauthenticates its registry. Inspect the fresh JSON before
+constructing the identity: require `mode=live`, the requested GPU,
+`pynvc.installed=true`, and `pynvc.identity.status=verified`. Derive the
+identity's path, size, and SHA-256 from that exact file and let this controller
+authenticate it again. For explicit `pynvc`/`both`, ask for an exact interpreter
+only when setup is unavailable or returns any absent, stale, unreadable,
+invalid-binding, or launch-failure result. For `auto`, keep Py `not_evaluated`
+and continue only an eligible native surface. Never pass a blocked probe as
+authority.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Apply the media gate before classifying the request into exactly one route
+ above. Require its media input to originate from an absolute target-local
+ path or one exact user-supplied HTTP(S) URL; never substitute catalog or
+ synthetic media, and preserve provenance and identity. When setup is installed, also apply its
+ shared [video content policy](../../jetson-video-setup/references/video-content.md).
+ A route may consume a prior artifact only when that artifact remains bound
+ to the same user-selected source. If no input is supplied, return
+ `input_required`, ask for one, and pause before probing, retrieval,
+ conversion, authority selection, dry run, or pipeline execution. Ask only
+ for media at that gate; never select catalog media or use the synthetic
+ setup fixture.
+2. Honor an explicit `native`/`pynvc`/`both` surface. Map “whichever”, “best
+ available”, “choose for me”, and any other unspecified-surface wording to
+ `auto`; never broaden it to `both`. Only an explicit dual-surface request
+ selects `both`.
+3. After the input gate and surface classification, use a supplied setup
+ environment identity, obtain a fresh one through setup's public probe as
+ described above, or use local selected-surface authentication. Supplied
+ evidence must validate and never falls back. Without it, native derives raw
+ dpkg/package-source/toolchain facts; Python derives raw wheel/import facts
+ from the exact `pynvc_interpreter`. The consumer stages those facts as
+ private evidence, derives its normalized surface view internally, and
+ revalidates the binding before launch. It never accepts a serialized local
+ binding from the caller and never scans for a Python environment. A missing
+ or invalid SDK routes only that surface to `jetson-video-setup`.
+4. Apply the `auto` gate using only that authority: zero
+ eligible surfaces block, one runs, and two
+ return `selection_required` before searching prior results, dry run, or
+ codec launch. Eligibility authentication happens first. This gate is
+ unconditional when two surfaces are
+ eligible: ask for exactly `native`, `pynvc`, or `both`. For `both`, preserve
+ every eligible branch and each blocked peer. One surface never authorizes or
+ blocks the other. If local `auto` has no exact `pynvc_interpreter`, disclose
+ PyNvVideoCodec as `not_evaluated` with the retry action and continue only an
+ eligible native branch; explicit `pynvc` and `both` still require setup
+ evidence or the exact interpreter. A prompt's claim that a surface is ready
+ is never authority. Eligibility is decided at planning time: each surface is
+ structurally validated against its own required subset of the schema-1.2
+ environment — native `installed`/`package`/`sdk_root`/`cuda`/`tools` versions,
+ pynvc `installed`/`version`/`interpreter`/`interpreter_identity`/`sys_prefix`/
+ `extension`/`module` — ignoring additive keys. A malformed surface is blocked
+ during planning, never deferred to execute-time authentication, so a broken
+ surface never consumes a run slot or couples the peer through late failure.
+5. Run `dry_run` to review the planned stages and handoffs, then `execute` with a fresh
+ output path and bounded per-stage timeouts.
+6. Bind each handoff to its original canonical path, size, and SHA-256; reopen and
+ rehash the original artifact — never trust copied status prose. A stage is complete
+ only when its exact positive marker, count, and fresh nonempty output are proven.
+
+For `acceptance`, the controller writes exactly nine compact pre-seal files and reports
+`seal_pending: true`; it intentionally does not create its own checksum manifest or an
+inventory. Its `references` object must name `readiness`, `capabilities`, `content`,
+`p4_recipe`, `p5_recipe`, `p4_encode_decode`, `p5_encode_decode`, `p4_benchmark`,
+`p5_benchmark`, `handoffs`, `commands`, `task_results`,
+and `timing`. The task-results JSONL contains exactly one
+`{task_id, status: "complete", evidence}` row for each of the ten stage names;
+`evidence` is a nonempty list of names from `references`. Recipes must validate as P4/P5,
+each encode/decode stage must consume its accepted recipe and the same exact raw input,
+and each benchmark variant must retain that exact recipe identity and input identity.
+Encode/decode artifacts must be complete, benchmarks must retain a warmup and at least
+three measurements; the handoff list must be nonempty and every entry must be verified.
+Each accepted benchmark branch retains the successful `warmup` command and
+sequential measured repetitions whose command phase is `measure`; every command argv must
+equal the authenticated launcher plus `benchmark_arguments`, exit zero, and not time out.
+FPS and megapixels/second must be positive finite values, and their repetition count, mean,
+minimum, and maximum must agree with the retained measurements.
+
+The acceptance assembler copies the six verified media metadata fields from the `content`
+evidence into `evidence/summary.json.representative_content`: exactly
+`source_url`, `license`, `attribution`, `path`, `size_bytes`, and `sha256`.
+`source_url` is the exact user-supplied HTTP(S) URL for retrieved media and JSON
+`null` for target-local media. `license` and `attribution` are nonempty honest
+strings; either may be the literal `unknown`. It writes the corresponding exact
+direct source record—not a generic reference table—to
+`evidence/representative-content.json` with exactly `kind`, those six metadata
+fields, `expected_size_bytes`, `expected_sha256`, and `verified`. Require
+matching expected size/SHA-256 and `verified: true`. Both files therefore
+satisfy the six-field compact metadata contract in
+[setup's shared video content policy](../../jetson-video-setup/references/video-content.md)
+and can be passed directly to the `content-summary` controller while the
+external media remains at its bound canonical path. Retrieval-command or local
+user-selection evidence supports acquisition claims separately and is not part
+of this six-field validator contract.
+
+### Acceptance content evidence
+
+Keep the source record and fresh validation result in the compact package and
+bind both in its manifest. Exclude the media itself from the package, retaining
+its canonical path, size, and SHA-256 in the summary. Run
+`scripts/validate_representative_content_summary.py` directly before cleaning
+up excluded media:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I scripts/validate_representative_content_summary.py \
+ --summary /absolute/path/to/evidence/summary.json \
+ --source-artifact /absolute/path/to/evidence/representative-content.json \
+ --output /absolute/path/to/evidence/representative-content-summary-validation.json
+```
+
+The validator reads the two JSON files directly, requires strict shapes and
+values, and freshly rehashes the current content file without modifying it. It
+proves current byte identity and exact cross-record metadata equality only. It
+does not prove URL origin, publisher-supplied expectations, license,
+attribution, representativeness, or nonuniformity. Preserve a retrieval command
+record for URL media or user-selection evidence for local media when making an
+acquisition claim; these are separate from the six-field metadata consistency
+check and need not be copied into the compact package. Claim content
+characteristics only when separate observed evidence supports them.
+
+Exit `0` means this limited consistency check is verified, exit `2` means
+invalid or unauthenticated input, and exit `3` means validator or fresh-output
+failure. The compact package cannot rerun the check after excluded media is
+removed unless that external media is restored at its bound path. Do not pipe a
+log or stdout record into this check, and do not use command substitution in
+place of either file.
+
+Set `validation_result_filename` to one fresh plain JSON filename and pass the matching
+workspace-relative path to the CLI, for example
+`--output evidence/customer-validation.json`. The controller writes the other eight files;
+the mandatory `--output` is the ninth validation-result file. It does not contain its own
+artifact identity. After the result is complete and every JSON/JSONL file parses, seal the
+final small package from its root:
+
+```bash
+(
+ cd "$PACKAGE_ROOT"
+ find . -type f ! -path './evidence/manifest-sha256.txt' -print0 |
+ LC_ALL=C sort -z | xargs -0 sha256sum
+) > "$PACKAGE_ROOT/evidence/manifest-sha256.txt"
+```
+
+Do not place media, raw frames, streams, SDK trees, build directories, virtual
+environments, or caches in the package; record their external path, size, and SHA-256.
+
+The allowed operation routes are defined by
+[official-sample-contract.md](official-sample-contract.md).

+## Description:
+Execute and verify Jetson Video Codec SDK or PyNvVideoCodec encode/decode, transcode, segmentation, container decode, AV1, or acceptance workflows with exact artifact handoffs.
+
+This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
+
+## Owner
+NVIDIA
+
+### License/Terms of Use:
+Apache-2.0
+## Use Case:
+Developers and engineers use this skill to execute official-sample codec stages on NVIDIA Jetson devices and prove that every consumer used the exact artifact produced by the preceding stage, including encode-then-decode verification, native transcode, PyNvVideoCodec segments, container decode triage, AV1 operation verification, and customer acceptance packages.
+
+### Deployment Geography for Use:
+Global
+
+## Requirements / Dependencies:
+**Requires API Key or External Credential:** [Not Specified]
+**Credential Type(s):** [None identified]
+
+Do not include secrets in prompts/logs/output; use least-privilege credentials; rotate keys as appropriate.
+
+## Known Risks and Mitigations:
+Risk: Review before execution as proposals could introduce incorrect or misleading guidance into skills.
+Mitigation: Review and scan skill before deployment.
+

+
+> ✅ **Overall verdict: PASS — Recommended for publication**
+
+## Publication Recommendation
+
+Recommended for publication based on the completed evaluation evidence in this report.
+
+## Evaluation Metadata
+
+- Skill: `jetson-video-recipe`
+- Evaluation date: 2026-08-10
+- Evaluator version: `1.1.2`
+- Agents: Claude Code (`aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8`), Codex (`openai/openai/gpt-5.5`)
+- Tasks: 3 evaluation tasks (3 positive)
+- Dataset digest: `sha256:cb2ef860b7b7cf59666c858c733f9b9fab262a8b7c52227977b0d53f6ae69da4` (skill-evaluator-dataset-snapshot/1)
+- Attempts per task: 1
+- Environment: `k8s-sandbox`

+
+## What This Report Answers
+
+The three-tier evaluation checks whether the skill:
+
+- is safe to use;
+- produces correct answers;
+- is discovered and activated when needed;
+- helps the agent complete the user's goal and expected workflow; and
+- avoids wasted skill and tool usage.
+
+## Results at a Glance
+
+| Measure | Claude Code (Baseline → Skill Uplift) | Codex (Baseline → Skill Uplift) |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Overall | 64% → 95% (+31 points) | 53% → 95% (+42 points) |
+| Security | 100% → 100% (±0 points) | 100% → 100% (±0 points) |
+| Correctness | 100% → 100% (±0 points) | 87% → 100% (+13 points) |
+| Discoverability | 33% → 100% (+67 points) | 33% → 79% (+46 points) |
+| Effectiveness | 74% → 94% (+21 points) | 45% → 100% (+55 points) |
+| Efficiency | 15% → 83% (+67 points) | 1% → 95% (+94 points) |
+
+**How to read this table:** baseline is the same task attempted without the target skill. Uplift is `skill score - baseline score`, shown in percentage points.
+
+Example: `47% → 92% (+45 points)` means the skill-assisted run scored 92%, 45 percentage points above its 47% no-skill baseline.
+
+## Tier Status
+

+## Scoring Methodology
+
+
+Show dimension definitions, source signals, and thresholds
+
+| Dimension | Question | Scored signals |
+|---|---|---|
+| Security | Is it safe to use? | `security` (100%) |
+| Correctness | Is the answer correct? | `accuracy` (100%) |
+| Discoverability | Was the right skill loaded when needed? | `skill_execution` (100%) |
+| Effectiveness | Did the skill help complete the task? | `goal_accuracy` (50%) + `behavior_check` (50%) |
+| Efficiency | Did it avoid wasted tool or skill usage? | `skill_efficiency` (100%) |
+
+- Dimension bands: PASS at 50% or above; NEUTRAL from 40% to below 50%; FAIL below 40%.
+- Overall Tier 3 lift: PASS at +5 points or more; FAIL at -10 points or less; values between those bands are NEUTRAL.
+- Overall verdict: PASS only when every configured dimension passes for at least one supported agent. Lift is reported as diagnostic evidence and does not override this gate.
+- The 50% attempt pass threshold is a separate per-task gate; it is not the dimension pass threshold.
+- Effectiveness is the equal-weight mean of goal completion (`goal_accuracy`) and expected workflow adherence (`behavior_check`).
+- Token efficiency is a separate report-only signal. It does not change a dimension score or the overall verdict.
+
+Signals present in this run:
+
+- `security` (Security): unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
+- `skill_execution` (Skill Execution): whether the expected skill was found and executed.
+- `skill_efficiency` (Efficiency): routing quality, workspace-aware skill reads, and productive tool use.
+- `accuracy` (Accuracy): final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
+- `goal_accuracy` (Goal Accuracy): whether the user's goal was achieved.
+- `behavior_check` (Behavior Check): whether the expected workflow behavior was followed.
+
+
+
+## Freshness
+
+Regenerate this benchmark when the skill, evaluation dataset, target agent/model, evaluator version, environment, or scoring policy changes.

+ Use when turning a Jetson encoder use case into one validated surface-neutral
+ recipe with native and PyNvVideoCodec projections for codec, preset, rate

+# Jetson Video Recipe
+
+## Purpose
+
+Convert workload intent into one deterministic schema-2 `nvcodec-recipe`.
+Preserve the user’s semantic controls, show defaulted assumptions, and project
+the same intent to native Video Codec SDK and PyNvVideoCodec without claiming it
+has executed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- This skill owns the canonical recipe engine —
+ `scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py` and its
+ `scripts/recipes/data/encoder-intent-catalog.json`. Invoke the engine directly
+ from this installed skill; it has no setup-runtime or sibling-launcher
+ dependency.
+- Recipe planning and structural validation are media-free and can run off
+ target. Do not request, retrieve, inspect, or convert media for a plan-only
+ request.
+- Content selection and provenance belong to the later execution or
+ measurement workflow. Consume that workflow's versioned content artifact
+ only at handoff; do not load or enforce its input gate during plan-only work.
+- Setup evidence is optional for `check-live`. With no environment, validate
+ the recipe normally and return an honest `unknown` live classification plus
+ non-mutating remediation to `jetson-video-setup`; planning and replay
+ validation remain complete and unchanged. If setup is not installed, tell
+ the user to install that skill.
+- When supplied, the fresh schema-1.2 setup environment is mandatory to
+ validate and may not be ignored or replaced by a fallback. Its `capabilities`
+ block is the established PyNvVideoCodec encoder authority, so a `pynvc` check
+ needs no separate report. A caller may additionally supply the optional
+ encoder capability report owned by `jetson-video-capability`; it must be
+ authenticated, bound to that exact environment, and fail closed as
+ `unknown` or an input error on any mismatch. A capability report alone does
+ not establish selected-surface readiness or selected-GPU identity. Treat
+ artifacts as data; do not import sibling skill code. A `compatible` result
+ still does not prove an encode operation.
+
+Resolve this installed skill to its canonical absolute path and set
+`RECIPE_SKILL`. Confirm the direct isolated entry point:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I "$RECIPE_SKILL/scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py" --help
+```
+
+If it is missing, report an incomplete `jetson-video-recipe` installation. Do
+not copy the engine, scan for another copy, modify `PYTHONPATH`, or fall back to
+an unvalidated local model.
+
+## Compose requested sibling stages
+
+Recipe `plan` and `validate` require no sibling, setup evidence, target, or
+media. Use `jetson-video-setup` only for requested live readiness or repair,
+`jetson-video-capability` when a platform-support recommendation needs its
+documentation verdict, `jetson-video-pipeline` for requested execution, and
+`jetson-video-benchmark` for requested measurement. Check the agent's installed
+skill catalog first. If the sibling is present, read its `SKILL.md` and invoke
+its documented public entry point; pass artifacts as data and never import
+sibling code. If it is absent, preserve the validated recipe and say, using the
+actual names: `I can run , but it requires , which is not
+installed. Install and retry this stage.` Never require a sibling for
+plan-only work or an unrequested optional refinement.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Collect intent.** For a request solely for objective quality metrics,
+ including PSNR or SSIM, state only that this skill does not provide them,
+ and that a separately authorized quality workflow is required, then stop.
+ Do not name or recommend an external tool, and do not offer to configure or
+ run the comparison; do not request media, probe, install anything, or
+ launch an operation. Resolve mutually exclusive rate-control intent before
+ collecting any other omitted field. In particular, when CQ and an average
+ bitrate are both supplied, explain the conflict, ask only whether to keep CQ
+ or the average bitrate, and stop. Do not reinterpret the bitrate as a cap or
+ ask for use case, resolution, frame rate, format, GPU, profile, preset, or
+ another field until the user resolves that choice. Otherwise resolve the
+ use case (`conferencing`, `live_streaming`, `vod`, `archival`, or
+ `lossless`), codec, width, height, raw input format, integer frame rate, GPU,
+ preset/tuning, rate-control or encoder quality priority, and any explicit
+ latency, profile, or buffering constraints. Resolve frame count only when
+ later execution or measurement needs it. Ask before assigning an
+ unqualified “low latency” request to a use case. Treat profile as a
+ bitstream/downstream-compatibility control separate from preset: preserve an
+ explicit profile, but when it is omitted leave it SDK-selected and never
+ invent a named profile.
+2. **Write one intent JSON.** Keep caller values separate from defaults. Put
+ only caller-specified control values in the intent and leave every omitted
+ control to the authenticated use-case catalog. Do not turn qualitative
+ wording into guessed overrides: for example, “low-latency live streaming”
+ selects `live_streaming`; it does not by itself request `bf=0` or disabled
+ multipass. Never construct drifting native and Python intents.
+3. **Plan with the recipe engine:**
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 -I "$RECIPE_SKILL/scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py" \
+ plan --intent "$INTENT_JSON" --output "$RECIPE_JSON"
+ ```
+
+4. **Replay validation before use:**
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 -I "$RECIPE_SKILL/scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py" \
+ validate --recipe "$RECIPE_JSON"
+ ```
+
+ Do not hand-edit a generated recipe. Regenerate it from an updated intent.
+5. **Optionally classify a live projection.** Run `check-live` for the selected
+ surface. The environment option is optional:
+
+ ```bash
+ python3 -I "$RECIPE_SKILL/scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py" \
+ check-live --recipe "$RECIPE_JSON" \
+ --surface native --output "$LIVE_CHECK_JSON"
+ ```
+
+ For an exact projection, omission intentionally returns `unknown` with setup
+ remediation; it never invents readiness. To resolve the live result, repeat
+ with `--environment "$ENVIRONMENT_JSON"`. Repeat independently for `pynvc`
+ when requested. The Py check reads the environment's schema-1.2
+ `capabilities` block. `--capability-report "$CAPABILITY_REPORT_JSON"` is an
+ optional Py refinement only when that environment is also supplied; it must
+ be bound to the same artifact. It replaces only the selected Py encoder API
+ evidence, not the environment's readiness facts, so omit it for native.
+ Missing optional evidence never fails, but supplied evidence must validate
+ and never silently falls back. A `compatible` result means the projection
+ and live Py evidence agree; it is not operation proof. Inspect the emitted
+ classification, not only the process exit code: an exact native projection
+ whose authenticated AppEncCuda run is deferred returns `unknown` with exit
+ code `0` and must never be reported as compatible or ready.
+ A Py CPU-buffer compatibility check requires the default smoke dependency
+ subset; GPU-buffer mode additionally requires the exact Torch facts provided
+ only by a validated `full-samples` environment.
+6. **Return the recipe and assumptions.** Report schema/kind, exact portable
+ artifact identity, canonical encoder intent, native and PyNv projections,
+ projection losses, defaulted values, rationale, and any facts still needed
+ before execution.
+7. **Stop before media work.** This skill never invokes `AppEncCuda`, `AppDec`,
+ PyNvVideoCodec sample applications, benchmark helpers, or pipeline
+ controllers. Route execution to `jetson-video-pipeline` and performance
+ measurement to `jetson-video-benchmark`.
+
+Use [recipes-workflow.md](references/recipes-workflow.md) for the request and
+output contract and
+[recipes-knobs-and-constraints.md](references/recipes-knobs-and-constraints.md)
+for exact accepted values and surface limitations.
+
+## Recommendation rules
+
+Apply the tuning, preset, and matched-measurement rules in
+[Tuning and preset](references/recipes-knobs-and-constraints.md#tuning-and-preset),
+and the profile, format, and projection rules in
+[Profile selection](references/recipes-knobs-and-constraints.md#profile-selection).
+
+- For a named platform, treating a codec as a recipe candidate is a support
+ claim. Consume the capability workflow's authenticated documentation verdict
+ first, exclude documentation-unsupported codecs, and preserve an unknown
+ verdict as unknown rather than offering it as supported. API fields or a
+ conditional “capability-gated” candidate do not override an unsupported
+ documentation verdict.
+- If a recommendation publishes a documentation-based support verdict, consume
+ the capability result and reproduce every authenticated candidate row and
+ its count; never reinterpret a partial subset.
+
+## Available Scripts
+
+| Script | Purpose | Arguments |
+|---|---|---|
+| `scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py` | Plan, replay-validate, or live-check one canonical recipe and its native/PyNv projections. | Invoke directly with `python3 -I`; use the `plan`, `validate`, or `check-live` subcommand and inspect `--help`. |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Reject malformed, legacy, hybrid, duplicate-key, non-finite, or determinism-
+ mismatched recipe documents.
+- Preserve an exact unrepresentable control as a per-surface projection loss.
+ For explicit `both`, do not hide the blocked peer or silently drop the
+ control.
+- Do not choose an execution surface for an `auto` request. Preserve both
+ projections and hand runtime selection to `jetson-video-benchmark` or
+ `jetson-video-pipeline`, where live eligibility can be evaluated.
+- Treat missing live fields as `unknown` and explicit negative fields as
+ `unsupported`. Missing selected-surface prerequisites include remediation to
+ `jetson-video-setup`; tell the user to install that skill if it is absent.
+ Neither state changes the portable recipe itself.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Planning and validation do not establish installation readiness,
+ documentation support, live availability, output quality, or performance.
+- This skill produces elementary encoder configuration only; container,
+ transcode, segmentation, decode verification, and artifact handoffs belong
+ to `jetson-video-pipeline`.
+- Objective quality measurement, including PSNR and SSIM, is outside this
+ skill.

+
+## Tuning and preset
+
+The supplied parser defaults `preset` to P4 and, for SDK-10+ presets, defaults an omitted
+`tuning_info` to `NV_ENC_TUNING_INFO_HIGH_QUALITY` (`NvEncoderClInterface.cpp:696-724`). It does
+not make the workload low latency merely because P1/P2 is selected. Multi-pass encoding is
+separately defaulted to disabled unless `multipass` is provided (`:1063-1066`). Use the typed
+value `ultra_high_quality` for UHQ. The wrapper preserves that typed value as intent evidence but
+translates the executed native CLI and PyNvVideoCodec sample JSON to the parser token `uhq`;
+`ultra_high_quality` must never reach the released sample parser unchanged. Public-2.1 Python UHQ
+is restricted to HEVC/AV1, Turing-or-newer hardware, and a loaded extension recording linked NVENC
+API 12.2 or newer; the `_121` surface does not contain the UHQ token and must remain blocked. Thor
+satisfies the generation prerequisite. Other GPU-generation claims remain operation-verified rather
+than inferred when authoritative generation evidence is unavailable.
+
+Treat P1–P7 as candidates along a speed/quality trade-off within a
+codec/tuning/hardware context. Do not call one faster or higher quality without
+matched measurements. For later measurement, let the owning benchmark or
+pipeline workflow validate its versioned content-provenance artifact and
+measure adjacent presets on the same user-selected content and frame range.
+
+Without matched measurements on identical representative content, do not present qualitative or
+numeric cross-codec storage, compression, quality, or output-size rankings as measured or proven.
+A documentation/support-based option may be labeled only as a starting candidate for matched
+measurement; words such as "better", "best", and "largest" remain unmeasured claims unless the
+labeled evidence proves that comparison.
+When H.264 and HEVC are both documentation-supported for an 8-bit storage-priority comparison,
+HEVC Main is the first matched-measurement candidate and H.264 is the compatibility baseline.
+This orders measurement; it does not call either codec a measured storage, compression, quality,
+or output-size winner.
+For an explicit native HEVC profile, select Main10 when 10-bit output is required and downstream
+decoder/container/playback compatibility is confirmed. NVENC can accept authenticated 8-bit 4:2:0
+input for Main10 and convert internally; P010 is the exact no-bit-depth-conversion input path. Use
+Main for ordinary 8-bit 4:2:0 output or ask for the missing facts. The released PyNvVideoCodec 2.1
+sample cannot express `profile`; report that projection limitation instead of claiming that Main or
+Main10 was applied.
+
+Use only `p1` through `p7`, exact lowercase tuning values `high_quality`, `low_latency`,
+`ultra_low_latency`, `lossless`, or `ultra_high_quality`, and multipass values `disabled`, `qres`,
+or `fullres`.
+Invalid parser strings can fall back to defaults, so reject them rather than reporting the
+requested string as the applied setting.
+Schema-1 canonical config and schema-2 `encoder_intent` presets remain lowercase `p1` through
+`p7`. The schema-2 Python projection, like public-2.1 executed JSON, uses
+uppercase `P1` through `P7`, while native AppEnc CLI argv remains lowercase. Evidence must preserve
+both the canonical typed config and the executed config; these are explicit token translations, not
+intent changes. Any parser fallback diagnostic is an operation failure.
+
+## Profile selection
+
+Profile is a bitstream-tool and downstream-compatibility choice; it is independent of preset.
+Do not call a profile faster, higher quality, or more storage-efficient without matched
+measurements. Preserve an explicit caller profile exactly. When the caller and downstream contract
+do not require one, omit it and report the result as SDK-selected/default rather than guessing or
+claiming a named profile.
+
+| Codec/profile | Selection guidance | Required constraint or gate |
+|---|---|---|
+| H.264 Baseline | Choose only for a decoder or transport that explicitly requires this restricted legacy profile. | 8-bit 4:2:0; resolved `bf=0`; live profile support and operation verification. |
+| H.264 Main | Choose when the downstream contract explicitly requires Main. | 8-bit 4:2:0; live profile support and operation verification. |
+| H.264 High | Compatibility-oriented candidate for modern 8-bit 4:2:0 H.264 consumers; this is not a quality claim. | 8-bit 4:2:0; live profile support and operation verification. |
+| H.264 High444 | Choose for an 8-bit 4:4:4 bitstream requirement or as one prerequisite of native H.264 lossless. It may also carry 8-bit 4:2:0; the name does not require 4:4:4 input. | Reject 10-bit input in this released Jetson recipe path. When 4:4:4 is requested, require matching input/capability. Lossless also requires QP zero, CONSTQP, transform bypass from the lossless path, and positive lossless capability. |
+| HEVC Main | Ordinary 8-bit 4:2:0 output candidate. | Matching codec/profile support and operation verification. |
+| HEVC Main10 | Choose when 10-bit 4:2:0 output is required and the downstream consumer supports it. NVENC can convert verified 8-bit input internally, but P010 is the exact no-bit-depth-conversion input path. | Positive 10-bit capability, authenticated input depth, downstream compatibility, and operation verification. |
+| HEVC FRExt | Choose for native 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 output, at 8 or 10 bits. | Matching NV16/P210/YUV444/YUV444_16BIT semantics and exact chroma/bit-depth capabilities. |
+| AV1 Main | The AppEnc AV1 profile covers 4:2:0 at 8 or 10 bits. | 4:2:0 only; 10-bit needs the exact capability. Release-matched product documentation still governs support. |
+
+The released PyNvVideoCodec 2.1 sample cannot express a named `profile`. Every explicit profile is
+therefore a structured Python projection loss, never a silently dropped control. An emitted
+bitstream may later reveal the runtime-selected profile, but recipe planning alone does not prove
+that profile. Parser acceptance also does not prove a profile/format pair operates; keep structural
+validation, live capability, operation, and emitted-bitstream proof separate.
+
+## Rate control and buffering
+
+- `rc=cbr`: bounded-rate starting point for live workloads; set bitrate, max bitrate, and VBV deliberately.
+- `rc=vbr`: quality/size starting point when bitrate may vary.
+- `rc=constqp`: constant-QP path; the QP value uses the separate `constqp` option. Do not combine with bitrate targets.
+- Gate the selected mode against `supported_ratecontrol_modes` from the exact codec query:
+ positive mask presence proves const-QP, bit `0x1` proves VBR, and bit `0x2` proves CBR. Missing,
+ malformed, or non-positive evidence leaves support unknown.
+- RC strings are lowercase-only. An unrecognized value, including `CQP`, falls back to CBR (`NvEncoderClInterface.cpp:912-926`).
+- Supplying `bitrate` sets CBR unless an explicit valid `rc` later overrides it (`:1050-1108`).
+- Supplying `cq` zeros average and maximum bitrate on the public Python parser; shared recipes
+ therefore reject CQ with either bitrate field (`:1096-1103`). CQ is a VBR target-quality value:
+ shared recipes use exact integer `0..51` for H.264/HEVC and `0..63` for AV1.
+- A direct typed native AppEncPerf/AppEncCuda request may express finite fractional CQ in that
+ codec range and may pair it with `maxbitrate` as a cap, but not with average `bitrate`. This
+ native-only expressiveness must not be copied into shared public-2.1 Python recipe JSON.
+- `constqp` uses one integer or `P,B,I` integers without spaces. Use `0..51` for H.264/HEVC and
+ `0..255` for AV1. Do not retain bitrate, maximum-bitrate, VBV, or CQ keys in const-QP mode.
+- `qmin`: do not generate in this release because the parser fetches `qmin` and then parses `initqp` at `NvEncoderClInterface.cpp:1119-1122`.
+
+## Latency and quality controls
+
+- `bf`: gate against exact `num_max_bframes`. The resolver enforces `bf=0` for
+ `ultra_low_latency`; use `low_latency` when B-frames are required.
+- `lookahead`: gate on `support_lookahead` and enforce the API range
+ `0..(31 - bf)`. The resolver enforces zero for `ultra_low_latency`.
+- `multipass`: `disabled`, quarter-resolution, or full-resolution choices must be throughput-tested. Do not infer support from `support_multiple_ref_frames`; they are different concepts.
+- `aq`: spatial AQ strength is 1–15 when enabled. `temporalaq` is a distinct option and is gated on `support_temporal_aq`.
+- `temporalaq` is enabled by key presence in the supplied parser. Emit `1`/`true` to enable it;
+ omit the key to disable it—do not emit zero or false.
+- `gop`: choose from recovery/random-access needs and frame rate; require `gop >= bf + 1`. A longer
+ GOP is not automatically better.
+- `fps`: the installed public PyNvVideoCodec 2.1 sample/config contract and the native projection
+ require an exact positive JSON integer. Reject decimal numbers, decimal strings, and fraction
+ strings, and cap native `std::stoi` fields (`fps`, `gop`, `bf`) at `INT_MAX=2147483647`.
+ Bitrate/VBV integer fields are capped at `UINT32_MAX=4294967295`. Do not generalize fractional
+ handling observed in a newer local/development source tree to the authenticated public 2.1 wheel.
+- Intra refresh is unsupported through rel_2_1 PyVC kwargs. Native NVENC
+ structs/caps expose it, but `NvEncoderClInterface` only prints the native
+ fields and never parses a public kwarg
+ (`:1375-1377,1438-1440,1745-1747`). Report it unrepresentable on the
+ selected released projection and stop without proposing another interface.
+
+## Surface gates
+
+- `YUV420`, `ARGB`, and `ABGR` are recipe/standalone encoder-input surfaces, not current
+ independent-decode pipeline target formats. Native `YUV420` pipeline output would require an
+ explicit `AppDec -outplanar` route that is not implemented, public-2.1 PyNvVideoCodec
+ `advanced/decode.py` cannot emit planar `YUV420`, and `AppDec` cannot emit matching RGB for
+ `ARGB`/`ABGR`. Resolving an encoder recipe for one of these formats does not claim a complete
+ content-to-independent-decode pipeline.
+- `profile` is native-AppEnc-only because public PyNvVideoCodec 2.1 does not parse it. Native
+ profiles are codec-specific: H.264 `baseline|main|high|high444`; HEVC
+ `main|main10|frext`; AV1 `main`. H.264 Baseline requires resolved `bf=0`; reject a positive
+ caller or catalog/default B-frame value instead of silently rewriting it. Lookahead remains
+ independently gated. Use [Profile selection](#profile-selection) for format, depth, lossless,
+ omitted-profile, and downstream guidance.
+- CPU-buffer sample readiness requires NumPy plus exact `pycuda==2026.1`; GPU-buffer mode also
+ requires the validated CUDA-enabled Torch record.
+
+- P010/P016 and other >8-bit surfaces require `support_10bit_encode`.
+- AV1 encode is structurally limited to 4:2:0 input. Reject NV16, P210, YUV444, and
+ YUV444_16BIT before capability interpretation even when feature fields are positive. P010
+ remains eligible when `support_10bit_encode` is positive; H.264/HEVC 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 remain
+ live-capability gated.
+- H.264/HEVC 4:4:4 surfaces require `support_yuv444_encode`.
+- The public 2.1 GPU utility implements H.264/HEVC YUV444 as three full-resolution planes and
+ assigns a `width * height * 3` frame size; do not block this path when the live 4:4:4 capability
+ is positive.
+- H.264/HEVC NV16/P210 4:2:2 encoder surfaces require `support_yuv422_encode`; absence from an
+ API-12.1-linked module is unknown, not unsupported. `P216` is decoder-output naming and is not
+ accepted as an encode input here.
+- 4:2:0 widths and heights must be even.
+
+## Runtime reconfiguration
+
+Do not generalize from the full native API. The supplied Python binding's `structEncodeReconfigureParams` exposes rate-control mode, multipass, average/max bitrate, VBV size/initial delay, frame-rate numerator/denominator, and target quality (`PyNvEncoder.cpp:1172-1198`). Any requested field outside that Python surface requires source/API verification and may require recreating the session.

+# Encoder recipe workflow
+
+Use this workflow to turn one workload intent into a deterministic,
+surface-neutral encoder recipe. Planning and structural validation do not use
+media and never launch a codec operation.
+
+## Contents
+
+- [Owner and CLI](#owner-and-cli)
+- [Intent contract](#intent-contract)
+- [Recipe contract](#recipe-contract)
+- [Workflow](#workflow)
+- [Live compatibility](#live-compatibility)
+- [Handoffs](#handoffs)
+
+## Owner and CLI
+
+The canonical recipe engine is
+`jetson-video-recipe/scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py`, owned by this recipe
+skill. Invoke its public CLI directly from the canonical installed skill path:
+
+```text
+python3 -I /scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py --help
+
+python3 -I /scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py \
+ plan --intent intent.json --output nvcodec-recipe.json
+
+python3 -I /scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py \
+ validate --recipe nvcodec-recipe.json
+
+python3 -I /scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py \
+ check-live --recipe nvcodec-recipe.json \
+ --surface native --output recipe-live-native.json
+
+python3 -I /scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py \
+ check-live --recipe nvcodec-recipe.json \
+ --environment nvcodec-environment.json \
+ --capability-report nvcodec-encoder-capability.json \
+ --surface pynvc --output recipe-live-pynvc.json
+```
+
+`--surface` accepts exactly `native` or `pynvc`. `--environment` is optional for
+both live checks. With no environment, an exact projection remains valid but
+its live classification is honestly `unknown` and includes non-mutating
+remediation to `jetson-video-setup`. This does not change `plan` or `validate`.
+If setup is not installed, tell the user to install that skill.
+
+When an environment is supplied, the native check validates that selected
+surface and never requires a capability report; its authenticated AppEncCuda
+operation remains deferred. The Py check does not require a separate report:
+the `capabilities` block of the schema-1.2 environment is the established
+encoder-capability authority and is fully functional on its own.
+`--capability-report` is an optional Py-only refinement — omit it and the
+environment's own block is used; supply it only with a fresh environment to
+which it is bound. A report supplied without an environment cannot establish
+selected-surface readiness or selected-GPU identity. Omit it for native.
+Use `--buffer-mode cpu` or `--buffer-mode gpu` for the selected PyNv execution
+path; omission preserves the `gpu` default and its Torch requirement.
+`check-live` exits `0` for a compatible projection or a native `unknown` whose
+authenticated operation remains deferred, `2` for an unsupported projection or
+other unresolved live evidence, and `3` for malformed input. Never describe the
+native exit-`0` deferred case as compatible or ready.
+
+This skill owns `scripts/recipes/recipe_model.py` and its catalog. Do not invoke
+the engine from a copied path, insert another scripts directory into
+`PYTHONPATH`, import it from a sibling skill, or recreate it in a consumer. A
+missing entry point is an incomplete recipe-skill installation.
+
+## Intent contract
+
+The intent is a strict JSON object. Require only `use_case`, positive integer
+`width`, and positive integer `height`. `use_case` is `conferencing`,
+`live_streaming`, `vod`, `archival`, or `lossless`.
+
+Leave omitted fields to the resolver: `codec` defaults to `h264`, `format` to
+`NV12`, `fps` to `30`, GPU to `0`, and `output_requirement` to
+`elementary_stream`. `frame_count` (or its `frames` alias) is optional for
+planning but must be an exact positive integer before execution. Include only
+caller-specified profile, preset, tuning, rate-control, bitrate, maximum
+bitrate, VBV, GOP, B-frame, lookahead, AQ, temporal-AQ, multipass, CQ, or
+constant-QP controls.
+
+An unqualified “low latency” request does not select a use case. Ask whether it
+means conferencing, live streaming, or another latency contract before
+defaulting controls.
+
+Recipe planning is media-free. Do not ask for a path or URL, probe media,
+retrieve content, or create raw frames to produce this object.
+
+## Recipe contract
+
+The output is one `schema_version: "2.0"`, `kind: "nvcodec-recipe"` object. It
+contains:
+
+- the canonical `encoder_intent`;
+- exact native and PyNvVideoCodec projections;
+- per-surface projection status and any projection losses;
+- caller-supplied and defaulted values with provenance;
+- assumptions and rationale;
+- a deterministic catalog identity.
+
+The native and Python projections are representations of the same intent, not
+independent recipes. Do not delete a requested control merely to make the
+projections look identical.
+
+Validation reconstructs the recipe from its recorded intent and catalog and
+requires exact deterministic equality. Regenerate instead of editing the
+artifact in place.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Normalize the user request into one intent JSON.
+2. Run the public CLI's `plan` subcommand to create a fresh output.
+3. Run its `validate` subcommand on the exact resulting file.
+4. Return the recipe identity, assumptions, defaults, native projection, Python
+ projection, and any unrepresentable controls.
+5. Stop. Do not select media, build samples, encode, decode, benchmark, or
+ claim the configuration ran.
+
+Follow [recipes-knobs-and-constraints.md](recipes-knobs-and-constraints.md) for
+accepted values, parser spellings, integer bounds, and surface limitations.
+
+## Live compatibility
+
+`check-live` can run with no setup evidence. It still replay-validates the exact
+recipe, then returns `classification: unknown` plus a `jetson-video-setup`
+remediation for an otherwise exact projection. It performs no probe, install,
+repair, surface discovery, or recipe mutation. A capability report supplied by
+itself does not resolve that result. A structurally unrepresentable projection
+remains `unsupported` independently of live evidence.
+
+- When supplied, `--environment` is the setup-probe environment, exactly
+ `kind: "nvcodec-environment"`, `schema_version: "1.2"`, and `mode: "live"`.
+ Read from it: `selected_gpu` and the matching `nvidia_smi.gpus[]` record for
+ GPU identity, the selected native or Py surface, and — when Py is selected —
+ Python readiness from
+ `installation.python.packages..{status, version, requirement_satisfied}`,
+ where `torch` additionally carries `cuda_build`, `cuda_available`, and
+ `sample_readiness`.
+- `--capability-report` is the optional capability-owned Py refinement,
+ `kind: "nvcodec-encoder-capability-report"`, `schema_version: "1.0"` report.
+ When one is supplied, encoder evidence is read from it: `authority`, `gpu`,
+ `evidence_classification.encode`, `linked_nvenc_api`, `encode.`, and
+ `documentation_crosscheck`. When it is omitted, that evidence comes from the
+ environment's own established `capabilities` block, which is fully functional
+ on its own.
+ Its absence never fails a check. When present, it requires the environment
+ and affects only `pynvc`; omit it for `native`.
+
+Every supplied artifact is mandatory to validate and is never silently ignored
+or replaced with an evidence-free fallback. Strict JSON or recipe input errors
+fail as input errors; unavailable, wrong-schema, stale, mismatched, or incomplete
+live authority remains closed as `unknown` or `unsupported` according to the
+explicit evidence. In particular, a supplied invalid capability report does
+not fall back to the environment's `capabilities` block.
+
+A report is valid only for the environment it was produced from. It records
+that artifact's path, size, raw-byte SHA-256, canonical-JSON SHA-256, schema,
+mode, selected GPU, lexical interpreter, and authenticated Py identity. Each
+field is compared in its own domain against the supplied environment; any
+mismatch fails closed as `unknown`. This rejects an environment/report swap
+and any change to the environment between report production and consumption.
+
+Codec/API support and installation readiness are different questions with
+different owners; both are in scope for a live compatibility check. An explicit
+negative dependency readiness is `unsupported`; missing or malformed dependency
+evidence is `unknown`. Both include non-mutating remediation to
+`jetson-video-setup` when selected-surface prerequisites need setup work. If the
+setup skill is absent, tell the user to install it.
+
+`GetEncoderCaps` evidence is `status: "capability_reported"` with
+`supported: null` and `operation_status: "not_tested"`; `capability_reported` is
+never support. Final-answer precedence is API query, then official operation,
+then NVIDIA documentation: an applicable `documentation_crosscheck.support` of
+`No` is the final `unsupported` verdict for any codec and outranks a positive
+query, and the discrepancy is recorded alongside it.
+
+Pass artifacts as data; never import the producing skill's implementation. The
+command classifies one projection from exact fields:
+
+- `compatible`: requested controls are expressible and required positive fields
+ are present;
+- `unsupported`: an exact required field is explicitly negative or the surface
+ cannot represent a requested control;
+- `unknown`: authority, field, or current evidence is missing.
+
+Compatibility is not readiness or operation proof. The later pipeline must
+authenticate and run the selected official sample and independently decode the
+exact output before claiming an encode succeeded.
+
+Evaluate native and PyNv projections independently. For explicit `both`,
+preserve both outcomes and every blocked reason.
+
+## Handoffs
+
+- `jetson-video-setup` optionally supplies the schema-1.2 environment artifact
+ that resolves otherwise unknown selected-surface readiness.
+ `jetson-video-capability` owns the optional encoder capability report that
+ `check-live` may additionally consume, plus authenticated documentation
+ evidence. A
+ recommendation consumes those results when it needs a support statement.
+- `jetson-video-benchmark` consumes the exact validated recipe artifact and
+ holds all non-compared controls constant.
+- `jetson-video-pipeline` consumes the exact validated recipe artifact for
+ official sample execution and artifact handoff verification.
+
+Every consumer receives the original canonical recipe path, byte size, and
+SHA-256 and rehashes it before use. Consumers exchange versioned artifacts or
+public-CLI results; they do not import this skill. A copied summary or rewritten
+projection is not a valid handoff.

+
+## What This Report Answers
+
+The three-tier evaluation checks whether the skill:
+
+- is safe to use;
+- produces correct answers;
+- is discovered and activated when needed;
+- helps the agent complete the user's goal and expected workflow; and
+- avoids wasted skill and tool usage.
+
+## Results at a Glance
+
+| Measure | Claude Code (Baseline → Skill Uplift) | Codex (Baseline → Skill Uplift) |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Overall | 36% → 81% (+45 points) | 24% → 83% (+58 points) |
+| Security | 50% → 100% (+50 points) | 0% → 100% (+100 points) |
+| Correctness | 35% → 75% (+40 points) | 50% → 95% (+45 points) |
+| Discoverability | 38% → 98% (+61 points) | 33% → 84% (+52 points) |

+| Efficiency | 32% → 85% (+53 points) | 26% → 90% (+63 points) |
+
+**How to read this table:** baseline is the same task attempted without the target skill. Uplift is `skill score - baseline score`, shown in percentage points.
+
+Example: `47% → 92% (+45 points)` means the skill-assisted run scored 92%, 45 percentage points above its 47% no-skill baseline.
+

+Show dimension definitions, source signals, and thresholds
+
+| Dimension | Question | Scored signals |
+|---|---|---|
+| Security | Is it safe to use? | `security` (100%) |
+| Correctness | Is the answer correct? | `accuracy` (100%) |
+| Discoverability | Was the right skill loaded when needed? | `skill_execution` (100%) |
+| Effectiveness | Did the skill help complete the task? | `goal_accuracy` (50%) + `behavior_check` (50%) |
+| Efficiency | Did it avoid wasted tool or skill usage? | `skill_efficiency` (100%) |
+
+- Dimension bands: PASS at 50% or above; NEUTRAL from 40% to below 50%; FAIL below 40%.
+- Overall Tier 3 lift: PASS at +5 points or more; FAIL at -10 points or less; values between those bands are NEUTRAL.
+- Overall verdict: PASS only when every configured dimension passes for at least one supported agent. Lift is reported as diagnostic evidence and does not override this gate.
+- The 50% attempt pass threshold is a separate per-task gate; it is not the dimension pass threshold.
+- Effectiveness is the equal-weight mean of goal completion (`goal_accuracy`) and expected workflow adherence (`behavior_check`).
+- Token efficiency is a separate report-only signal. It does not change a dimension score or the overall verdict.
+
+Signals present in this run:
+
+- `security` (Security): unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
+- `skill_execution` (Skill Execution): whether the expected skill was found and executed.
+- `skill_efficiency` (Efficiency): routing quality, workspace-aware skill reads, and productive tool use.
+- `accuracy` (Accuracy): final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
+- `goal_accuracy` (Goal Accuracy): whether the user's goal was achieved.
+- `behavior_check` (Behavior Check): whether the expected workflow behavior was followed.
+
+
+
+## Freshness
+
+Regenerate this benchmark when the skill, evaluation dataset, target agent/model, evaluator version, environment, or scoring policy changes.

+ Use when installing, repairing, probing, or verifying native NVIDIA Video
+ Codec SDK or PyNvVideoCodec on Jetson with official encode-to-decode samples,
+ including registered-environment recovery.

+# Jetson Video Setup
+
+## Purpose
+
+Probe, install, and independently verify the native NVIDIA Video Codec SDK and
+PyNvVideoCodec surfaces on a live Jetson. Setup owns installation readiness,
+not codec-support verdicts, recipes, benchmarks, or application pipelines.
+
+## Read before acting
+
+- Read [setup-workflow.md](references/setup-workflow.md) for surface selection
+ and the probe → plan → apply → verify order.
+- Read [setup-install.md](references/setup-install.md) before any APT, venv, or
+ pip mutation.
+- Read [setup-output-contract.md](references/setup-output-contract.md) before
+ consuming or reporting an artifact.
+
+## Select the surface
+
+Before step 1 or any probe, resolve the requested surface. "Video Codec SDK",
+"VC SDK", "native SDK", or `nvidia-video-codec-sdk` selects native;
+"PyNvVideoCodec", "PyNv", "PySDK", or Python selects PyNvVideoCodec. Match a
+named product before considering the bare phrase: "Video Codec SDK" is the
+native product name even though it contains the words "video SDK". A genuinely
+bare "video SDK" setup, install, operation, readiness, or report-only request
+is ambiguous: ask only whether the user wants native Video Codec SDK,
+PyNvVideoCodec, or both, then stop before probing, acting, or describing future
+probes, checks, installation steps, or report contents. Report-only intent
+alone does not select a surface or authorize broadening to both.
+
+Select both only when explicitly requested, and reuse the selection for the
+rest of the request. One narrow exception applies to a consumer skill's
+`auto` selection gate: that consumer may invoke setup's read-only probe with
+`--runtime both` solely to evaluate both candidates. This does not select both
+for installation, verification, execution, or the final report.
+
+Keep the selected surfaces independent. A native failure must not suppress an
+actionable Python surface, and a Python failure must not suppress native.
+Report aggregate `both` readiness only after both verification chains pass.
+
+## Compose requested sibling stages
+
+Setup's probe, plan, install, and verification workflow requires no sibling
+skill. When a complex request also asks for product capability, recipe,
+performance, or pipeline work, add only the corresponding
+`jetson-video-capability`, `jetson-video-recipe`, `jetson-video-benchmark`, or
+`jetson-video-pipeline` stage. Check the agent's installed skill catalog first.
+If the sibling is present, read its `SKILL.md` and invoke its documented public
+entry point; pass artifacts as data and never import sibling code. If it is
+absent, preserve completed setup results and say, using the actual names: `I
+can run , but it requires , which is not installed. Install
+ and retry this stage.` Never acquire a sibling for an unrequested
+stage.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Confirm execution is on the Jetson. On a non-Jetson host, produce guidance
+ only and make no live readiness claim.
+2. Probe the selected surface with `probe_nvcodec.py --runtime
+ native|pynvc|both --output ...`. Use `both` only when the request explicitly
+ selects both surfaces or for the narrow read-only consumer `auto` candidate
+ check above. The probe is read-only. Reauthenticate a saved artifact with
+ the same CLI's `--reauthenticate` action.
+3. For PyNvVideoCodec, use the fixed validated-venv registry or an exact
+ user-supplied interpreter. Never scan for or guess a venv. If the user says
+ PyNvVideoCodec is already installed but supplies no exact path and the
+ registry is not ready, ask for the path before provisioning anything. A
+ missing registered interpreter makes that registry not ready; a registered
+ interpreter that cannot be launched blocks the selected Py surface. Never
+ scan or fall back to another environment.
+4. Generate an install plan with `plan_install.py`, then run
+ `plan_install.py validate PLAN`. A report-only request stops after the
+ probe; `plan-only` never authorizes mutation. Use `setup-install` intent only
+ for an explicit install/setup request; that request authorizes only the
+ complete unchanged batches in the reviewed plan.
+5. Execute only literal commands from the reviewed `setup-install` plan.
+ Invoke every published `argv` verbatim as the current user, including steps marked `privilege: "root"`; never prefix `sudo`, because `plan_install.py` owns the authorized internal `sudo -n` escalation for APT operations.
+ `plan_install.py` owns APT refresh, preview, and apply actions;
+ `lock_pip_reports.py` owns clean-venv creation and the locked pip apply.
+ APT execution regenerates the canonical plan and rechecks live candidate,
+ origin, source, and simulation evidence before mutation.
+6. Re-probe the completed surface. Run `verify_native.py` for native or
+ `verify_pynvc_sample.py` for Python. Each setup proof uses the installed
+ release's official samples to encode one 640×360 NV12 frame to H.264, then
+ independently decode that fresh bitstream. Native, and Python under
+ `--profile full-samples`, decode to exactly 345,600 bytes. The default
+ Python profile `pynvc-smoke` decodes one bounded frame with
+ `advanced/decode_perf.py`, which writes no raw output, so it proves frame
+ production only. A consumer that genuinely needs Torch — Python
+ encode-benchmark, pipeline, or the full raw-decode proof — is blocked under
+ `pynvc-smoke`; say so and name the remedy: provision a `full-samples` venv
+ explicitly with `plan_install.py --profile full-samples`. Exit zero alone is
+ never proof: require the profile's exact positive markers and counts. Only a
+ passing verifier may promote the selected surface from probe `partial` to a
+ final ready verdict.
+7. After a ready Python verification, publish the fixed registry only with
+ `verify_pynvc_sample.py --register-current --output READY_REPORT`.
+8. Report the detected Jetson Linux release, product versions, independent
+ surface verdicts, blockers, and artifact identities.
+
+Use `--fresh-setup` only when the user explicitly requests a new setup or
+reinstall. It never authorizes removing working base packages. A fresh Python
+setup also requires a unique, previously absent `--venv`. That `--venv` must be
+an absolute path under a durable location, for example
+`/home/ubuntu/.venvs/nvcodec-fresh`; never place it in the current working
+directory or any transient run, session, or evidence tree, because the registry
+you publish outlives that directory. Relative `--output` names resolve against
+the working directory, so write setup reports somewhere equally durable.
+
+## Direct setup scripts
+
+Run every public CLI under `python3 -I` and inspect its `--help` before building
+arguments.
+
+| File | Public responsibility |
+|---|---|
+| `scripts/setup/probe_nvcodec.py` | Emit or reauthenticate the read-only live `nvcodec-environment` schema 1.2 artifact. |
+| `scripts/setup/plan_install.py` | Plan and validate selected components; execute only its own reviewed APT refresh/preview/apply actions. |
+| `scripts/setup/lock_pip_reports.py` | Create a new venv and materialize/apply the authenticated pip lock. |
+| `scripts/setup/verify_native.py` | Build package-owned `AppEncCuda`/`AppDec` and verify the fixed native encode→decode smoke. |
+| `scripts/setup/verify_pynvc_sample.py` | Authenticate and run wheel-owned Python encode/decode samples, emit the readiness artifact, and authenticate the validated-venv registry chain. |
+| `scripts/setup/setup_contract.py` | Private common mechanics for these setup CLIs: strict JSON, bounded commands, and public-APT binding; never invoke it as a CLI. |
+
+There is no setup dispatcher. Invoke these five public CLIs directly. Setup
+must not import Python code from another skill, and another skill must not
+import setup's private implementation.
+
+## Readiness and scope
+
+- Inventory or import presence is not operational proof.
+- `operation_verified` requires both official operations, their positive
+ markers, and a fresh nonempty bitstream. Native and Python `full-samples`
+ additionally require the exact decoded frame count and raw-output size;
+ Python `pynvc-smoke` instead requires its two exact one-frame production
+ markers and claims no raw decoded artifact.
+- Exit zero or output-file creation alone is insufficient.
+- Setup emits only bounded baseline Py API-query observations and raw native
+ sample summaries as supporting readiness evidence. It does not emit the
+ complete decoder tuple matrix or a product-support verdict; use
+ `jetson-video-capability` for those questions.
+- Use `jetson-video-recipe`, `jetson-video-benchmark`, and
+ `jetson-video-pipeline` for configuration, measurement, and handoff work.
+- A local probe proves only the detected stack and minimum release gate; it
+ does not prove release currency or the newest release compatible with this
+ target. Call a release `latest` or `newest compatible` only when successfully
+ retrieved current official NVIDIA documentation, recorded with URL and
+ retrieval date, establishes both release currency and compatibility with the
+ authenticated target identity. Otherwise report newest-compatible as
+ `unknown` and point to the official compatibility documentation; local APT
+ state, a failed source, or either fact alone is insufficient.
+- For a quality-only request such as PSNR or SSIM, state that setup does not
+ provide it and that a separately authorized quality workflow is required,
+ then stop; do not install, invoke, name, recommend, or offer to set
+ up an external quality tool.
+
+## Safety
+
+- Accept native SDK/CUDA packages only from the configured,
+ signature-authenticated stock public NVIDIA Jetson source
+ (`repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common` or `/som`, exact `rNN.N/main`).
+ Base prerequisites may use another already configured,
+ signature-authenticated APT origin. Bind every candidate to its exact source
+ record and never add or change a source or key.
+- Keep credentials out of argv, logs, artifacts, stdout, and stderr.
+- Preserve exact plan, package, interpreter, artifact, and source identities.
+- Use fresh output/work/build paths. Never overwrite evidence or reuse it after
+ a reflash, driver/package change, or venv replacement.

+
+## Product boundaries
+
+| Surface | Acquisition | Setup proof |
+|---|---|---|
+| Native Video Codec SDK | `nvidia-video-codec-sdk` 13.0.x from the configured Jetson APT release | Package-owned `AppEncCuda` → package-owned `AppDec` |
+| PyNvVideoCodec | `PyNvVideoCodec==2.1.0` and its dependencies in an isolated venv | Wheel-owned `samples/basic/encode.py` → `samples/advanced/decode_perf.py` by default, or `samples/advanced/decode.py` with `--profile full-samples` |
+
+These are independent products. A PyNvVideoCodec request must not install the
+native developer package, and a native request must not create or modify a
+Python environment. CUDA, driver, compiler, SDK, and Python package versions
+are separate facts; do not require their version strings to match.
+
+Record the detected Jetson Linux release and apply the documented minimum
+release gate, but do not impose an exact JetPack/L4T revision. Setup readiness
+comes from the applicable installed-artifact operation proof, not an API
+capability query.
+
+## Authorization and planning
+
+Always probe before planning. Plan only the selected `native-sdk`, `pynvc`, or
+explicitly both components.
+
+- `--request-intent plan-only` creates a review artifact and authorizes no
+ protected command.
+- `--request-intent setup-install` preauthorizes only unchanged commands in the
+ reviewed plan for the selected components.
+- `--fresh-setup` requires the complete fresh action for each nonblocked
+ selected surface.
+
+The plan groups protected commands into these deterministic batches:
+
+| Batch | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `apt-metadata-refresh` | One authorized metadata refresh, followed by mandatory re-probe/re-plan |
+| `native-sdk-install` | Candidate-pinned native package preview and apply |
+| `pynvc-bootstrap` | Required candidate-pinned CUDA/Python bootstrap and new-venv creation |
+| `pynvc-resolution` | Isolated, non-applying pip resolver reports |
+| `pynvc-install` | Authenticated lock materialization and exact locked apply |
+
+Review the plan with `plan_install.py validate`. Execute only the exact
+`refresh`, `preview`, or `apply` argv emitted by that plan. Before APT
+mutation, `plan_install.py` requires the literal command to occur in the
+reviewed sibling `nvcodec-install-plan.json`, reauthenticates the bound inputs,
+regenerates the canonical plan, and requires its digest to match. It then
+rechecks candidate/source policy and repeats the safe simulation immediately
+before apply.
+
+Any change in component, setup mode, command, package, candidate, origin,
+source file, dependency set, version, or archive hash invalidates the reviewed
+authorization. Re-probe, re-plan, show the difference, and obtain authorization
+for the changed scope.
+
+## Stock public APT policy
+
+Accept the native SDK or selected CUDA build candidate only when all of these are
+true:
+
+- its configured source is exactly
+ `https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common` or
+ `https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/som`;
+- its suite/component is exactly `rNN.N/main`;
+- APT signature enforcement is active;
+- no `trusted`, insecure, weak, downgrade-to-insecure, or unauthenticated
+ bypass is enabled;
+- the candidate origin is bound to the exact configured-source record and
+ source-file SHA-256 captured by the probe;
+- the candidate remains unchanged at apply time.
+
+Do not accept an internal mirror, HTTP NVIDIA source, wrong suite/component,
+unsigned candidate, trust bypass, or unbound origin. Base Ubuntu prerequisites
+such as `pkg-config`, `python3-venv`, and `python3-dev` may use another already
+configured APT origin only when its package-signature chain, exact source
+record, and source-file SHA-256 are bound by the probe. Never add, replace, or
+edit a repository or signing key.
+
+When local metadata has no candidate but configured sources exist, the plan
+may emit one `plan_install.py refresh` action. After it succeeds, discard the
+old environment and plan, probe again, and build a new plan bound to the
+refresh receipt. Do not refresh repeatedly or carry a pre-refresh candidate
+forward.
+
+Every APT apply uses an exact `package=version`, `--no-remove`, noninteractive
+form after a matching safe simulation. A removal, downgrade, candidate drift,
+origin drift, or unsafe simulation blocks the apply.
+
+## Native Video Codec SDK
+
+Use only a stable public 13.0.x
+`nvidia-video-codec-sdk=`. A normal installed 13.0.x
+surface can take the verify-only route. An explicitly fresh native setup emits
+the candidate-pinned simulation/apply pair with `--reinstall`; it does not
+uninstall the working package.
+
+The final native probe must show:
+
+- the package name, installed status, and version;
+- canonical SDK root;
+- complete AppDec `pkg-config` prerequisites for `libavcodec`,
+ `libavformat`, `libavutil`, and `libswresample`;
+- installed CUDA root/version;
+- authenticated `cmake`, C++ compiler, `nvcc`, `pkg-config`, and CMake
+ generator records.
+
+If a prerequisite is absent, install it only when the selected plan contains
+its exact authenticated APT candidate. Never infer missing development
+packages from an incomplete or timed-out query.
+
+`verify_native.py` reauthenticates package version/ownership and
+`dpkg --verify`, builds only `AppEncCuda` and `AppDec` in a fresh user-owned
+directory, and rejects unresolved or stub CUDA/NVENC/NVDEC linkage.
+
+## PyNvVideoCodec
+
+### Reuse
+
+Prefer the exact validated registry environment. A ready
+`existing-isolated-environment` route performs no venv, resolver, pip, CUDA,
+or native-SDK install; it runs fresh official-sample verification only.
+
+If the registry is absent/stale and the user identifies an existing
+installation, require the exact lexical interpreter or venv. Probe and verify
+that candidate directly. Never search the filesystem, guess among venvs, or
+reinstall a valid candidate.
+
+### New environment
+
+Create only a previously absent target with
+`lock_pip_reports.py create-venv`. An existing directory, partial target, or
+symlink is blocked and is never deleted, repaired, or reused in place.
+
+The Python route does not depend on `nvidia-video-codec-sdk`. It may install
+only its own authenticated prerequisites:
+
+- the version-matched public `cuda-minimal-build-13-N` and
+ `libcurand-dev-13-N` packages when the top-level CUDA build probe is absent.
+ Derive `13-N` from the authenticated `cuda-toolkit` release candidate and
+ authenticate both selected candidates independently. PyCUDA 2026.1 enables
+ CURAND in its default source build; do not install the full `cuda-toolkit`
+ meta-package merely to compile it;
+- Python venv support or development headers when their top-level probe fields
+ are missing;
+- exact `PyNvVideoCodec==2.1.0`;
+- exact `pycuda==2026.1`;
+- `numpy>=1.24` and the narrow support set recorded in the plan;
+- CUDA-enabled `torch==2.9.1+cu130` under `--profile full-samples` only. The
+ default `pynvc-smoke` profile installs no Torch and never reaches the cu130
+ extra index, because neither official sample it runs imports Torch.
+
+A minimal CUDA build plus CURAND bootstrap is nonterminal: after applying it, discard the plan,
+probe again, and re-plan before creating the venv. Scope `PATH`, `CPATH`, and
+`LIBRARY_PATH` to the PyCUDA build only; never expose a stub directory through
+runtime loader variables.
+
+Run the plan's isolated pip dry-runs and retain their JSON reports.
+`lock_pip_reports.py materialize-apply` then:
+
+1. verifies each required root and merges duplicate records only when package,
+ version, filename, type, and SHA-256 agree;
+2. accepts only credential-free HTTPS artifacts from its fixed host allowlist;
+3. pins each URL and SHA-256, with exact policy for the one permitted PyCUDA
+ source archive;
+4. writes a fresh lock and manifest;
+5. reauthenticates the lock, resolver environment, artifact origins, redirect
+ destinations, and source hash before mutation;
+6. installs hash-checked wheels before the PyCUDA source stage, with no
+ dependency resolution;
+7. verifies installed versions and requires `pip check` to pass;
+8. emits `pynvc_wheel` evidence for the locked PyNvVideoCodec wheel.
+
+The compact apply contract emits persisted wheel/source stage reports,
+installed versions, `pip_check`, and `pynvc_wheel` evidence.
+
+After the final Python probe, run the official operation proof with
+`verify_pynvc_sample.py --register-current`. It publishes the registry only
+after safely writing a ready verification result. A failed proof or
+publication attempt preserves the previous registry.
+
+## Fresh setup
+
+Use fresh mode only when the user explicitly requests another complete setup
+attempt.
+
+- Native: reinstall the exact live 13.0.x candidate without removing working
+ base packages, then re-probe and verify.
+- Python: require an explicit unique absent `--venv` at an absolute durable
+ path such as `/home/ubuntu/.venvs/nvcodec-fresh` — never inside the working
+ directory or a transient run/evidence tree, since the published registry
+ outlives it — perform the complete resolver/locked apply, then re-probe,
+ verify, and register. Write the setup reports to an equally durable directory.
+- Both: keep each plan and proof independent. Use deterministic native-then-
+ Python execution when both are actionable. A blocked peer does not suppress
+ the other.
+- Shared APT refresh: refresh once, then discard and regenerate all selected
+ package plans.
+
+Never reuse prior plans, resolver reports, locks, build directories, work
+directories, or operation artifacts for a fresh attempt.
+
+## Official operation proof
+
+Both proofs use one generated 640×360 8-bit NV12 frame (345,600 bytes), encode
+H.264 with the installed release's official sample, then independently decode
+that fresh bitstream with the corresponding official decoder. The Python decoder
+is selected by profile: the default `pynvc-smoke` runs
+`samples/advanced/decode_perf.py`, and `full-samples` runs
+`samples/advanced/decode.py`.
+
+Require:
+
+- authenticated installed sample ownership;
+- zero child exit codes and no recognized failure marker;
+- the exact positive marker for one encoded frame before decoder launch;
+- a fresh, regular, nonempty bitstream with SHA-256;
+- `software_fallback=false`.
+
+Native, and Python under `full-samples`, additionally require the exact positive
+marker for one decoded frame and a fresh 345,600-byte decoded NV12 output with
+SHA-256. `pynvc-smoke` instead requires both anchored `decode_perf.py` markers,
+each exactly once, and rejects any worker error, warning, or traceback; it
+writes no raw output, so it claims no decoded artifact and proves frame
+production only.
+
+Output-file creation alone is not proof, and for `pynvc-smoke` a zero exit code
+alone is not proof either, because the sample swallows worker exceptions. Do not
+require the decoded pixels to match the input byte-for-byte because H.264 is
+lossy. Setup does not use an external software codec or quality-measurement
+tool.

+
+## Common rules
+
+Public setup CLIs emit one strict JSON document to stdout. Persisted outputs are
+fresh regular files created without replacing an existing path. Preserve each
+artifact's path, size, and SHA-256 at consumer boundaries.
+
+Normalized exits are:
+
+- `0`: the requested positive operation completed; a completed read-only
+ inventory also exits 0 even when a surface is absent;
+- `2`: a completed blocked, negative, unknown, unsupported, or operation-failed
+ result;
+- `3`: malformed/unsafe input, a refused write, or an internal contract error.
+
+An `argparse` usage error exits `2` and writes no result artifact. A child
+process's original return code remains in its stage evidence.
+
+## `nvcodec-environment` 1.2
+
+`probe_nvcodec.py` owns the only setup environment artifact:
+
+```json
+{
+ "schema_version": "1.2",
+ "kind": "nvcodec-environment",
+ "generated_at": "...",
+ "mode": "live",
+ "requested_runtime": "native",
+ "platform": {},
+ "selected_gpu": 0,
+ "nvidia_smi": {},
+ "libraries": {},
+ "driver_nvenc_api": {},
+ "pynvc": {},
+ "installation": {},
+ "capabilities": {},
+ "warnings": [],
+ "readiness": {},
+ "command_evidence": []
+}
+```
+
+These sixteen keys are the closed top-level set; an unknown top-level key is a
+validation error. Nine are required: `schema_version`, `kind`, `platform`,
+`selected_gpu`, `requested_runtime`, `pynvc`, `installation`, `capabilities`,
+and `readiness`. `requested_runtime` is a **string**, exactly `native`,
+`pynvc`, or `both` — never a list.
+
+The artifact does not serialize `target`, `requested_surfaces`, `surfaces`,
+`cuda`, `python`, or `apt` as top-level keys. `surfaces` may exist only as an
+internal normalized representation inside the producer; no consumer reads it
+from the artifact. Native surface facts are published under
+`installation.native_sdk`, the Python surface under `pynvc`, Python readiness
+under `installation.python.packages`, and APT and CUDA observations under
+`installation.apt` and `installation.cuda_toolkit`.
+
+`native` and `pynvc` stay independent: either may be absent when not selected,
+or present and not installed, without changing its peer.
+
+Consumers validate their required subset and ignore additive optional keys.
+They reject an unknown schema major and any non-`live` artifact. A ready Python
+probe preserves its baseline API-query fields for downstream compatibility;
+those fields are not operation proof or a product-support verdict. Complete
+capability matrices and operational classification belong to the capability skill.
+
+### Required top-level identity
+
+| Key | Required content |
+|---|---|
+| `platform` | `jetson` boolean, `machine` matching `^(aarch64\|arm64)$`, and `jetson_linux.{version, release_line, compatibility.status}` evidence against the minimum release |
+| `selected_gpu` | Non-negative integer; GPU identity is the matching `nvidia_smi.gpus[]` record with that `index` |
+| `requested_runtime` | Exactly one of the strings `native`, `pynvc`, `both` |
+
+### Required `readiness` block
+
+`readiness.state` is `ready`, `partial`, or `not_ready`. `readiness.layers` carries one layer
+per requested surface — `native_sdk` and `pynvc` — each with its own `status`,
+`installation`, and `operation` values. Report the layers separately; the probe
+proves no codec operation, so a satisfied surface is `partial`, never `ready`,
+and there is no aggregate-both readiness claim at this level.
+
+### Required `installation.apt` block
+
+`installation.apt` records local APT observations only:
+
+- `apt_cache`: canonical executable path when available;
+- `signature_enforced`: boolean;
+- `source_files`: configured source paths;
+- `sources`: each source path and SHA-256;
+- `candidates`: package-name → candidate record.
+
+A candidate record contains `package`, `query_status`, exact `query_argv`,
+`query_exit_code`, `installed`, `candidate`, `candidate_origins`, and
+`public_origin`. When native is requested, the
+`nvidia-video-codec-sdk` candidate record is required even if no candidate is
+visible.
+
+An actionable `public_origin` binds the candidate to:
+
+- `https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common` or `/som`;
+- exact `rNN.N/main`;
+- `authentication=apt-signature-chain`;
+- exact `configured_source_sha256` and `configured_sources` records;
+- no trust bypass.
+
+An absent or untrusted candidate remains inventory and cannot create an APT
+apply command.
+
+### Required `installation.cuda_toolkit` block
+
+`installation.cuda_toolkit` is target identity used by Python setup; it is not
+borrowed from the native surface.
+
+- Always require `status`, either `installed` or `absent`.
+- When installed, require `version`, canonical `root`, and non-empty absolute
+ `environment_prefixes.PATH`, `.CPATH`, and `.LIBRARY_PATH` lists.
+- When absent, `version` and `root` are null and the prefix lists are empty.
+
+### Required `installation.python` block
+
+`installation.python.executable` is the interpreter that produced the artifact,
+after any validated-venv delegation; it must be an absolute, executable file
+and it drives `@python-from`. For a new Python environment, also require:
+
+- `system_executable`: the observed canonical system Python when available;
+- `venv_module`: `ok` or `missing`;
+- `development_headers`: `ok` or `missing`.
+
+These fields select authenticated bootstrap packages at plan time. They do not
+authorize scanning for another interpreter.
+
+Python readiness is `installation.python.packages..{status, version,
+requirement_satisfied}`; when Torch is present it additionally carries
+`cuda_build`, `cuda_available`, and `sample_readiness`. Torch is required only
+by the `full-samples` profile; under the default `pynvc-smoke` profile its
+absence is expected and is not a readiness failure.
+
+### Required `installation.native_sdk` block
+
+Always require `installed` as a boolean. When true, require:
+
+- `package.{name,status,version}`, where name is
+ `nvidia-video-codec-sdk` and status is `installed`;
+- canonical `sdk_root`;
+- `build_prerequisites.{status,unresolved_modules}` for the AppDec modules;
+- `cuda.{status,version,root}`;
+- `tools.cmake`, `tools.cxx`, `tools.nvcc`, `tools.pkg_config`, and
+ `tools.generator`, each with `path`, `version`, and `sha256`;
+- `tools.generator.name`, either `Ninja` or `Unix Makefiles`.
+
+### Required top-level `pynvc` block
+
+The Python surface is published at top level as `pynvc`. Its established fields
+include `imported`, `module`, `module_file`, `module_version`,
+`distribution_version`, `linked_nvenc_api`, `identity`, and `errors`.
+Consumers validate their required subset and permit additive provenance fields.
+
+Always require `imported` as a boolean. When it is true in a `live` artifact,
+require a verified `identity`:
+
+- `identity.status` is `verified`, and otherwise carries only `status` and
+ `reason`;
+- `identity.interpreter` is the exact lexical interpreter and must equal
+ `installation.python.executable`;
+- `identity.sys_prefix`, `identity.dist_info_path`;
+- `identity.distribution.version` and `identity.module.version`, both exactly
+ `2.1.0`;
+- `identity.extension` for the loaded extension, whose recorded loaded path
+ equals the hashed extension path.
+
+`module_version` must match `distribution_version`. `linked_nvenc_api` records
+the linked NVENC API level. The verifier, not the probe, authenticates wheel
+`RECORD` ownership of the files it executes.
+
+Python dependency readiness is not part of this block; it is
+`installation.python.packages` as described above.
+
+### Reauthentication result
+
+`probe_nvcodec.py --reauthenticate ENVIRONMENT` emits:
+
+```json
+{
+ "kind": "nvcodec-environment-validation",
+ "schema_version": "1.0",
+ "valid": true,
+ "errors": []
+}
+```
+
+It validates required structure and rehashes the recorded native tools and
+Python interpreter/extension identities. It performs no mutation.
+
+## Install-plan and APT artifacts
+
+`plan_install.py` emits `kind=nvcodec-install-plan`,
+`schema_version=1.5`. Its required contract includes:
+
+- `generated_from`: bound environment path, size, SHA-256, kind/mode/schema,
+ and canonical JSON digest;
+- `plan_inputs`: environment, exact selected components, request intent,
+ optional venv, fresh flag, and optional refresh receipt;
+- independent `components.native-sdk` and/or `components.pynvc`;
+- per-component `plan_status`, selected route, blockers, artifacts, exact
+ commands, and final validation commands;
+- `preflight_commands`, sequential `execution_batches`, and intent-scoped
+ authorization;
+- `overall_status`, `mutated=false`, and `plan_digest`.
+
+Component status is `installed`, `ready_to_review`, or `blocked`. A blocked
+component has no command. A mixed two-surface plan stays actionable for its
+nonblocked peer. `both` readiness is not a plan status.
+
+`plan_install.py validate PLAN` emits
+`nvcodec-install-plan-validation` schema 1.0 and checks the plan document,
+including its digest and authorization consistency, without mutation.
+
+Transaction actions accept only literal commands present in the reviewed
+sibling plan. They regenerate the canonical plan from its bound inputs and
+require the same digest before execution. Refresh/environment binding is
+performed by the planner through `--apt-refresh-receipt`; the resulting
+transaction records `authorizing_plan_digest`. Direct planless transactions
+are not supported and carry no separate refresh/environment assertion flags.
+APT artifacts use schema 1.0:
+
+- `nvcodec-apt-refresh-receipt`;
+- `nvcodec-apt-simulation-receipt`, including live policy evidence,
+ transaction summary, and `safe_to_apply`;
+- `nvcodec-apt-apply-report`, including the authorizing plan digest, reviewed
+ receipt identity, immediate repeated simulation, exact command evidence,
+ and final `safe` result.
+
+## Python environment and lock artifacts
+
+`lock_pip_reports.py create-venv` emits
+`nvcodec-clean-venv-creation` schema 1.0. `status=created` proves a previously
+absent target was reserved and populated without system site packages.
+`target_exists` is a complete negative result; the path is not deleted or
+modified. A partial failure is preserved and never described as rollback.
+
+`materialize-apply` produces:
+
+- `nvcodec-pip-lock-manifest` schema 1.0 with interpreter/environment
+ contract, resolver-report identities, requirements, allowed hosts, exact
+ artifact name/version/URL/filename/type/SHA-256 records, lock identity, and
+ install policy;
+- fresh wheel/source pip stage reports with bounded command evidence;
+- `nvcodec-pip-lock-apply` schema 1.0 with source preflight, installed
+ versions, `pip_check`, and `pynvc_wheel` evidence for the locked
+ PyNvVideoCodec wheel.
+
+Successful apply status is `applied_verified`. A post-mutation failure is
+reported as mutation-possible or verification-failed, never clean rollback.
+
+## Native verification
+
+`verify_native.py` emits `kind=nvcodec-native-verification`,
+`schema_version=1.5`.
+
+The artifact binds:
+
+- the environment identity and native surface;
+- live package version, ownership, and `dpkg --verify` evidence;
+- official sample build commands and binary identities;
+- real CUDA/NVENC/NVDEC linkage with stub rejection;
+- the generated one-frame 640×360 NV12 input;
+- exact encode/decode argv, markers, exit codes, log tails, bitstream identity,
+ decoded-output identity, and failure reasons.
+
+`ready=true` and `status=operation_verified` require both official operations,
+exactly one reported frame at each stage, a fresh nonempty bitstream, and an
+exact 345,600-byte decoded NV12 output. A missing prerequisite is `unknown`; a
+launched sample failure is `operation_failed`.
+
+## PyNvVideoCodec verification and registry
+
+`verify_pynvc_sample.py` emits
+`kind=nvcodec-pynvc-sample-verification`, `schema_version=1.3`.
+
+The artifact binds:
+
+- environment path/hash/canonical digest and selected GPU;
+- exact lexical interpreter, prefix, distribution/module version, and loaded
+ extension identity;
+- wheel `RECORD` ownership for the imported module, loaded extension, official
+ encoder/decoder, helpers, and configuration;
+- the `verification_profile` and exactly its dependency subset: NumPy and
+ PyCUDA readiness always, plus CUDA-enabled Torch readiness under
+ `full-samples`;
+- the generated one-frame 640×360 NV12 input;
+- exact child argv, output logs, positive markers, bitstream identity, decoded
+ output identity, and reasons.
+
+Only the known PyNvVideoCodec 2.1.0 stale `RECORD` row for its native extension
+may use the narrow recorded mismatch exception; all other executed files must
+match their wheel rows.
+
+`ready=true` and `status=operation_verified` require both official operations,
+one encoded frame, and a fresh nonempty H.264 bitstream. The decode proof is the
+profile's own: `full-samples` runs `advanced/decode.py` and still requires the
+exact 345,600-byte decoded NV12 output, while the default `pynvc-smoke` runs
+`advanced/decode_perf.py`, which writes no raw output and therefore carries no
+decoded-output identity. Its proof is frame production: both anchored markers,
+each exactly once, with no worker error, warning, or traceback. A zero exit code
+alone is never sufficient, because the sample swallows worker exceptions.
+
+The fixed registry is:
+
+```text
+$HOME/.local/state/jetson-videosdk/current-pynvc.json
+```
+
+Its schema is `jetson-videosdk/current-pynvc/1`. It records the exact ready
+verification-artifact identity and the frozen verified Python surface.
+`verify_pynvc_sample.py --register-current` is the only publisher. It writes
+the `nvcodec-pynvc-sample-verification` schema 1.3 result before publication,
+refuses a non-ready verification, and preserves any prior registry on failure.
+
+A normal PyNv probe reauthenticates the registry, bound verification artifact,
+surface, and exact interpreter, then delegates to that lexical interpreter.
+It never scans venv directories or falls back to another interpreter. Keep the
+registry-bound verification and environment artifacts in persistent storage;
+missing or changed evidence makes the registry not ready.

+copy itself, or treat a GPU-name inference as live evidence.
+
+## Select scope
+
+Before target inspection or the first probe, resolve the requested surface.
+Named native and Python products select only their own surface. A bare “video
+SDK” setup, install, operation, readiness, or report-only request is ambiguous:
+ask whether the user wants native Video Codec SDK, PyNvVideoCodec, or both,
+then stop before probing or acting. “Video Codec SDK” is the native product
+name, not the bare ambiguous phrase. Report-only intent alone does not select a
+surface or authorize broadening to both.
+
+Map the choice to commands as follows:
+
+| User scope | Probe runtime | Plan component |
+|---|---|---|
+| Native Video Codec SDK | `native` | `native-sdk` |
+| PyNvVideoCodec/PySDK/Python | `pynvc` | `pynvc` |
+| Explicitly both | `both` | Repeat both component flags |
+
+Use `--runtime both` only when the request explicitly selects both surfaces,
+or when a consumer's `auto` gate invokes this read-only probe solely to
+authenticate both candidates. That internal candidate probe does not authorize
+installing, verifying, executing, or reporting both surfaces.
+
+Evaluate the two surfaces independently. Native Video Codec SDK 13.0.x and
+PyNvVideoCodec 2.1.0 are separate products; PyNvVideoCodec does not require the
+native developer package.
+
+## Classify intent
+
+- **Report-only/readiness audit:** after the surface is selected, run only its
+ read-only probe and reauthentication. Do not build, install, create a venv,
+ or launch codec operations. A bare “video SDK” request remains ambiguous:
+ ask which surface to inspect and stop before probing.
+- **Verify usability:** run the applicable non-installing official-sample
+ verifier only when the user authorizes its build/work/output writes.
+- **Plan-only:** emit and validate a plan, then stop. The plan marks protected
+ commands as requiring confirmation and cannot authorize a transaction.
+- **Setup/install:** use `--request-intent setup-install`. The explicit request
+ authorizes only the unchanged batches in the reviewed plan.
+- **Fresh setup:** additionally use `--fresh-setup`. For Python, require an
+ explicit unique, absent `--venv` at an absolute durable path such as
+ `/home/ubuntu/.venvs/nvcodec-fresh`, never in the working directory or a
+ transient run/evidence tree; the registry outlives that directory. Write the
+ `--output` reports somewhere equally durable. Preserve working base packages.
+
+## 1. Probe
+
+Run the selected live probe into a fresh, persistent attempt directory:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I scripts/setup/probe_nvcodec.py \
+ --runtime native \
+ --gpu 0 \
+ --output nvcodec-environment-before.json
+```
+
+Use `pynvc` or `both` for the corresponding explicitly selected scope. The
+probe reads local target, APT, CUDA, Python, package, tool, and import state.
+It does not refresh APT, contact a package index, install, build, or launch a
+codec. It returns an inventory even when a requested surface is not installed.
+
+Reauthenticate a saved environment with the same public CLI:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I scripts/setup/probe_nvcodec.py \
+ --reauthenticate nvcodec-environment-before.json
+```
+
+This emits `nvcodec-environment-validation`. Do not use a separate validator.
+A valid result proves the recorded structure and file identities still match;
+it does not prove an encode or decode operation.
+
+### Exact PyNvVideoCodec interpreter
+
+The normal `pynvc` probe resolves the fixed registry at
+`$HOME/.local/state/jetson-videosdk/current-pynvc.json` and delegates only to
+its authenticated lexical interpreter. It never scans common venv locations
+or falls back to system Python.
+
+If the registry is absent or stale and the user says PyNvVideoCodec already
+exists, require the exact interpreter or venv path. Probe that lexical
+interpreter explicitly as the setup candidate:
+
+```bash
+ -I scripts/setup/probe_nvcodec.py \
+ --runtime pynvc \
+ --gpu 0 \
+ --setup-candidate \
+ --output nvcodec-environment-candidate.json
+```
+
+Then run `--reauthenticate` through that same interpreter. Reuse it if valid.
+If no path is supplied, ask for one; do not scan, guess, or immediately create
+a replacement. Use `--setup-candidate` only for this exact supplied
+interpreter or the interpreter created by an authorized setup plan.
+
+## 2. Plan and validate
+
+Generate a plan for only the selected component:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I scripts/setup/plan_install.py \
+ nvcodec-environment-before.json \
+ --component native-sdk \
+ --request-intent setup-install \
+ --output nvcodec-install-plan.json
+
+python3 -I scripts/setup/plan_install.py \
+ validate nvcodec-install-plan.json
+```
+
+For PyNvVideoCodec, use `--component pynvc`. For explicit `both`, repeat
+`--component` in native-then-Python order. Use `--request-intent plan-only`
+when no mutation is authorized.
+
+The `validate` action checks the plan kind/schema, digest, component states,
+and authorization fields without mutation. Before an APT transaction,
+`plan_install.py` additionally reloads the reviewed sibling
+`nvcodec-install-plan.json`, reauthenticates its bound inputs, regenerates the
+canonical plan, and requires the same digest. Never execute serialized or
+hand-edited caller argv.
+
+If an authorized metadata refresh is required, execute only the plan's emitted
+`plan_install.py refresh` command. Discard the old plan, create a fresh probe,
+and regenerate it with the exact successful refresh receipt. A refresh can
+change all APT candidates, so re-plan every selected package surface.
+
+## 3. Execute the reviewed plan
+
+Read [setup-install.md](setup-install.md), inspect every exact argv, and execute
+the plan's batches sequentially. The public owners are:
+
+- `plan_install.py refresh|preview|apply` for APT transactions;
+- `lock_pip_reports.py create-venv|materialize-apply` for the isolated Python
+ environment and locked pip application;
+- `verify_pynvc_sample.py --register-current` for the operation proof and
+ registry publication.
+
+Do not reconstruct commands from prose. Preserve the reviewed plan's working
+directory and artifact names. Stop on command, candidate, origin, dependency,
+hash, setup-mode, or scope drift.
+
+APT packages are eligible only from an already configured, normally
+signature-verified source at
+`https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common` or `/som`, exact
+`rNN.N/main`, with no trust bypass. Never add, replace, or repair a repository
+or signing key.
+
+A blocked component carries no executable command. Continue a separately
+actionable selected peer unless a shared APT refresh invalidates both plans.
+
+## 4. Verify native
+
+After native installation or validated reuse, create a fresh native-only
+environment and reauthenticate it, then run:
+
+```bash
+python3 -I scripts/setup/verify_native.py \
+ --environment nvcodec-environment-after-native.json \
+ --sdk-root /opt/nvidia/video-codec-sdk \
+ --build-dir ./nvcodec-native-build \
+ --work-dir ./nvcodec-native-smoke \
+ --build --run-encode --run-decode \
+ --gpu 0 \
+ --output nvcodec-native-verification.json
+```
+
+The verifier reauthenticates package ownership, `dpkg --verify`, required
+tools, AppDec prerequisites, and real CUDA/NVENC/NVDEC linkage. It builds only
+package-owned `AppEncCuda` and `AppDec`. It launches `AppDec` only after the
+current `AppEncCuda` run proves exactly one encoded frame, its exact output
+marker, and a fresh nonempty H.264 bitstream.
+
+Native readiness requires one decoded frame and an exact 345,600-byte
+640×360 NV12 output. H.264 is lossy, so source and decoded pixel hashes need
+not match.
+
+## 5. Verify PyNvVideoCodec
+
+For a new environment, execute the plan's exact clean-venv, resolver, and
+locked-apply commands. For a valid existing environment, skip all installation
+steps and verify only.
+
+Run the final probe and verifier through the exact selected lexical
+interpreter:
+
+```bash
+ -I scripts/setup/probe_nvcodec.py \
+ --runtime pynvc --gpu 0 --setup-candidate \
+ --output nvcodec-environment-after-python.json
+
+ -I scripts/setup/verify_pynvc_sample.py \
+ --environment nvcodec-environment-after-python.json \
+ --work-dir ./nvcodec-pynvc-smoke \
+ --gpu 0 \
+ --register-current \
+ --output nvcodec-pynvc-verification.json
+```
+
+The verifier authenticates the imported module, loaded extension, and every
+executed official sample/helper/config file against the installed wheel. It
+runs wheel-owned encode before independent decode. Readiness always requires the
+exact one-frame encode marker and a fresh nonempty H.264 bitstream. Under
+`--profile full-samples` it also requires `advanced/decode.py`'s exact
+345,600-byte decoded NV12 output; under the default `pynvc-smoke` it requires
+`advanced/decode_perf.py`'s two anchored markers, each exactly once, with no
+worker error, warning, or traceback, and produces no decoded output file.
+
+`verify_pynvc_sample.py --register-current` is the only publisher. It first
+writes the complete verification result, then publishes the registry only
+when that result has `ready=true` and `status=operation_verified`. A failed
+proof or publication preserves the previous registry.
+
+## 6. Report
+
+Report:
+
+- target and Jetson Linux release;
+- selected surface(s);
+- installed/candidate native package and PyNvVideoCodec versions;
+- exact Python interpreter for the Python surface;
+- independent native and Python inventory and operation verdicts;
+- every blocker without suppressing an actionable peer;
+- paths, sizes, and SHA-256 values for retained artifacts.
+
+Use `operation_verified` only for a completed official encode→decode proof.
+Do not derive codec support from setup inventory. Route capability questions
+to `jetson-video-capability`.

+# Video content policy
+
+This setup-owned reference defines the shared media-selection and evidence
+policy for every Jetson video skill. Setup owns the policy and deterministic
+smoke fixture; benchmark and pipeline workflows own normal media execution.
+
+## Route matrix
+
+| Workflow | Content rule |
+|---|---|
+| Setup/readiness verification | A deterministic synthetic raw fixture is allowed; user media is not required. |
+| Capability API query | Media-free. A minimal capability-operation smoke test may use setup's deterministic fixture. |
+| Recipe planning, validation, or live compatibility check | Media-free. Stop before media work. |
+| Documentation-only benchmark estimate | Media-free. Do not launch a controller or claim a measurement. |
+| Live benchmark `encode`, `decode`, `compare`, or `camera_capacity` | Require exact user-selected media under the input gate below. |
+| Pipeline `encode_decode`, `native_transcode`, `pynvc_segments`, `container_triage`, `av1_verify`, or `acceptance` | Require exact user-selected media under the input gate below. |
+| Direct recipe-bound encode/decode execution | Require exact user-selected media, except for the capability-smoke fixture above. |
+| Pipeline `content-summary` validation | Consume the already bound external media and evidence; never select or acquire replacement media. |
+
+Never use synthetic, uniform, black, or generated content for recipe
+execution, performance/benchmarking, a content-sensitive comparison, or a
+pipeline.
+
+## Input gate
+
+Recipe planning and validation, capability queries, and documentation-only
+benchmark estimates are media-free. Before any recipe execution, live
+benchmark dry run or execution, content-sensitive comparison, or pipeline dry
+run or execution, require the user to supply exactly one of:
+
+- an absolute target-local media path; or
+- one exact HTTP(S) media URL.
+
+If neither is present, return `input_required` with
+`next_action: provide_media_path_or_url`, ask the user for one, and pause before probing,
+retrieving, converting, constructing a controller request, or launching an operation. Never browse
+for, select, recommend, or retrieve media from a bundled catalog or an alternate source.
+The controller's `synthetic_input_allowed: false` field is an agent-routing rule, not a byte-content
+classifier: an artifact identity alone does not prove who selected the file or how its frames were
+created. Bind request construction to the user's supplied path or URL and never turn the setup
+fixture into an execution input.
+
+Treat user selection as operation input, not as proof of copyright or license rights. Preserve
+license and attribution exactly when evidenced or supplied. Use the literal string `unknown` when
+either is unknown; never infer or invent it.
+
+## Resolve the selected source
+
+- For a local path, require a canonical absolute regular-file path on the target, keep the source
+ read-only, and record its current size and SHA-256. Set `source_url` to JSON `null`.
+- For a URL, first prove validated target eligibility and an authenticated released route for the
+ intended operation. Retrieve only the exact user-supplied HTTP(S) URL into the fresh workspace.
+ Record that exact requested URL as `source_url` and preserve the retrieval command evidence.
+ Never substitute a mirror, nearby catalog entry, or different agent-selected URL without asking
+ the user.
+- If the source is missing, unreadable, empty, changes identity, or cannot be retrieved, report the
+ evidenced input failure and ask for a replacement. Do not relabel it `unsupported` or
+ `operation_failed`.
+
+## Use in workflows
+
+- Classify the selected media as raw, elementary-stream, or container input before choosing a
+ released sample. Invoke only the authenticated, release-owned NVIDIA sample selected by the
+ workflow for demux, decode, or raw-frame production.
+- For an encoder run, create raw frames only through an approved NVIDIA sample that can write the
+ required format. Record the source and derived SHA-256, geometry, format, frame rate, frame count,
+ and decode evidence. Do not pass a container file to a raw-input runner.
+- If the selected NVIDIA sample does not accept the user-selected source, ask for another local
+ path or URL, or report the route blocked. Do not choose fallback media or use FFmpeg to replace
+ codec work.
+- Use the same user-selected content and frame range across comparisons. The controllers validate
+ byte identity, frame alignment, metadata, and official-sample evidence; they do not infer scene
+ complexity, representativeness, ownership, or nonuniformity. Never promote the setup fixture into
+ a performance input. Report results only for the exact user-selected workload and do not
+ generalize it into a complete workload suite.
+
+## Evidence
+
+For every selected input, preserve `source_url` (the exact user URL, or JSON
+`null` for local media), honest `license` and `attribution` strings (the literal
+`unknown` is allowed), canonical path, byte size, observed SHA-256,
+codec/container, dimensions, frame rate, pixel format, bit depth, and frame
+count. Preserve a published source checksum only when it is actually available.

+"""Build and run the package-installed NVIDIA Video Codec SDK samples as an operation proof.
+
+This helper is the *operation* authority for the native surface: it builds the official
+``AppEncCuda`` and ``AppDec`` samples from the package-owned ``Samples`` tree, encodes one fresh
+NV12 frame, and -- only after AppEncCuda's own success marker has been proven by this run --
+decodes that fresh bitstream with AppDec. An API query is never a substitute for either step.
+
+Only ``installation.native_sdk`` of the ``nvcodec-environment`` 1.2 artifact is read, and only
+its required subset is validated, so a malformed or absent ``pynvc`` block can neither block nor
+be blocked by this proof. Invoked directly as ``python3 -I .../verify_native.py``: it owns its
+own CLI, never activates a virtual environment, and never imports another skill.

+## What This Report Answers
-## Metrics Used
+The three-tier evaluation checks whether the skill:
-Reported benchmark dimensions:
+- is safe to use;
+- produces correct answers;
+- is discovered and activated when needed;
+- helps the agent complete the user's goal and expected workflow; and
+- avoids wasted skill and tool usage.
-- Security: checks whether skill-assisted execution avoids unsafe behavior such as secret leakage, destructive commands, or unauthorized access.
-- Correctness: checks whether the agent follows the expected workflow and produces the correct final output.
-- Discoverability: checks whether the agent loads the skill when relevant and avoids using it when irrelevant.
-- Effectiveness: checks whether the agent performs measurably better with the skill than without it.
-- Efficiency: checks whether the agent uses fewer tokens and avoids redundant work.
+## Results at a Glance
-Underlying evaluation signals used in this run:
+| Measure | Claude Code (Baseline → Skill Uplift) | Codex (Baseline → Skill Uplift) |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Overall | 65% → 98% (+34 points) | 58% → 98% (+39 points) |
+| Security | 100% → 100% (±0 points) | 100% → 100% (±0 points) |
+| Correctness | 13% → 100% (+87 points) | 73% → 100% (+27 points) |
+| Discoverability | 100% → 100% (±0 points) | 42% → 94% (+52 points) |
+| Effectiveness | 13% → 91% (+78 points) | 45% → 95% (+50 points) |
+| Efficiency | 97% → 100% (+3 points) | 32% → 100% (+68 points) |
-- `security` (Security): checks for unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
-- `skill_execution` (Skill Execution): verifies that the agent loaded the expected skill and workflow.
-- `skill_efficiency` (Efficiency): checks routing quality, decoy avoidance, and redundant tool usage.
-- `accuracy` (Accuracy): grades final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
-- `goal_accuracy` (Goal Accuracy): checks whether the overall user task completed successfully.
-- `behavior_check` (Behavior Check): verifies expected behavior steps, including safety expectations.
-- `token_efficiency` (Token Efficiency): compares token usage with and without the skill.
+**How to read this table:** baseline is the same task attempted without the target skill. Uplift is `skill score - baseline score`, shown in percentage points.
-## Test Tasks
+Example: `47% → 92% (+45 points)` means the skill-assisted run scored 92%, 45 percentage points above its 47% no-skill baseline.
-The benchmark dataset contained 1 evaluation tasks:
+## Tier Status
-- Positive tasks: 1 tasks where the skill was expected to activate.
-- Negative tasks: 0 tasks where no skill was expected.
-- Unlabeled tasks: 0 tasks where positive/negative intent could not be inferred.
+| Tier | Purpose | Status | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Tier 1 | Static validation | **PASSED WITH OBSERVATIONS** | 1 validator(s); 4 finding(s) |
+| Tier 2 | Semantic deduplication | **NOT RUN** | No result was recorded |
+| Tier 3 | Live agent evaluation | **PASS** | 2 agent(s); 3 task(s) |
-Task composition is derived from the evaluation dataset when possible. Entries with `expected_skill` set are treated as positive skill-activation cases, while entries with `expected_skill: null` are treated as negative activation cases.

-## What It Is
+Activation recompute (activation checkpointing) trades additional forward work during backward for lower retained-activation memory. The useful checkpoint boundary depends on the model architecture, attention backend, parallelism, and the tensor that actually drives the per-rank peak.
-Activation recompute trades GPU compute for memory by discarding intermediate
-activations during the forward pass and recomputing them during backward.
-Megatron Bridge supports two granularities:
+## Quick Decision Guide
-| Granularity | What you specify | What gets recomputed | Memory savings | Compute cost |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `selective` | `recompute_modules` list (e.g. `core_attn`, `mlp`) | specific submodules within each layer | moderate (module-dependent) | low to high |
-| `full` | `recompute_num_layers` + `recompute_method` | entire transformer layers (N layers) | strongest | highest |
+1. Confirm the pressure is real allocation, not allocator fragmentation. Compare `max_memory_allocated()` with `max_memory_reserved()` on every rank.
+2. Keep an explicit no-recompute control when the workload fits. Under selective granularity, `recompute_modules=[]` is valid and useful for this comparison.
+3. Select the first boundary from the architecture and observed peak:
+ - **Standard attention:** `core_attn` is the common first candidate. It is strongest when unfused attention materializes score/probability tensors. With Transformer Engine fused or Flash Attention, compare it against `[]` because those backends already rematerialize attention internals.
+ - **Multi-Latent Attention (MLA):** start with `mla_up_proj` when expanded Q/K/V projections dominate. Add `core_attn` only when the attention-core state still matters.
+ - **Grouped MoE:** start with `moe_act` when the expert intermediate activation dominates; add `layernorm` when norm outputs are material. Use whole `moe` recompute only after accounting for the extra expert compute and communication it replays.
+ - **Dense FFN:** `mlp` can save the whole dense-MLP activation region, but it usually costs more compute than a narrow output-discard boundary.
+4. Change one label at a time. Record per-rank allocated/reserved peaks plus steady-state step time or throughput; do not infer a global module ranking from one recipe.
+5. Use full-layer recompute only when targeted selective boundaries do not make the workload fit. Full recompute has the broadest memory effect and the largest replay cost.
+6. Treat CUDA graphs, FP8, context-parallel communication, and overlap features as compatibility constraints, not afterthoughts.
-Note: MCore names these "selective" (submodule-level) vs "full" (layer-level).
-"Full" means recomputing full layers, not the full model — you still choose
-how many layers via `recompute_num_layers`.

+## Selective Module Decision Table
-## Compatibility and Constraints
-
-- `recompute_granularity=selective` requires a non-empty `recompute_modules` list
-- `recompute_granularity=full` requires `recompute_method` and `recompute_num_layers`
-- **Layer-level recompute (`recompute_granularity="full"` +
- `recompute_num_layers`) is incompatible with TE-scoped CUDA graphs.**
- MCore calls this "full" granularity — the name refers to recomputing
- full transformer layers, not the full model. Even though you're selecting
- how many layers to recompute, MCore treats it differently from submodule
- recompute. Any TE-scoped scope (`attn`, `mlp`, `moe_router`, etc.) will
- assert. This commonly hits FP8 configs that enable TE-scoped graphs by
- default (e.g. `LLAMA3_70B_SFT_CONFIG_H100_FP8_CS_V1` sets
- `cuda_graph_impl="transformer_engine"`, `cuda_graph_scope="mlp"`). Options:
- - use submodule recompute (`recompute_granularity="selective"` +
- `recompute_modules`) — compatible with TE-scoped graphs
- - disable CUDA graphs (`cuda_graph_impl="none"`) and use layer-level recompute
- - switch to `cuda_graph_impl="local"`, `cuda_graph_scope="full_iteration"`
-- `distribute_saved_activations=True` cannot be combined with `sequence_parallel=True`
-- Combining `mlp` + `core_attn` recompute is slightly worse than `mlp` alone
- due to double recompute overhead
-
-## Measured Results
-
-Llama3 70B SFT on 32x H100 80GB, FP8 (Current Scaling):
-- Baseline: TP=4, PP=4, VPP=5, DP=2, MBS=1, GBS=32, seq_len=4096
-- Golden GPU utilization: 709.93 TFLOP/s/GPU
-- Regression threshold: 5%
-
-| Experiment | recompute_modules | TFLOP/s/GPU | vs Golden | Peak Mem (GB) | Result |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| Baseline | [core_attn] | ~704 | -0.8% | 58.8 (OOM rank0) | OOM |
-| Exp 1 | [mlp] | 593.6 | -16.4% | 55.6 | Perf regression |
-| Exp 2 | [mlp, core_attn] | 586.8 | -17.3% | 55.6 | Perf regression |
-| Exp 3 | [core_attn, layernorm] | ~702 | -1.1% | 59.6 (OOM rank0) | OOM |
-
-Key takeaways:
-
-- `layernorm` recompute is nearly free compute-wise but saves negligible memory
-- `mlp` recompute saves ~3 GB peak but costs ~16% because the Llama3 70B FFN
- (hidden=28672) is expensive to recompute
-- Combining `mlp` + `core_attn` is slightly worse than `mlp` alone
-- For this workload, the actual OOM fix was `PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True`
- (memory fragmentation, not capacity). See @skills/nemo-mbridge-perf-memory-tuning/SKILL.md.
+The currently pinned Megatron Core accepts these labels. A development branch can add model-specific labels, so validate against the exact target revision rather than copying a list across branches.
-## Code Anchors
-
-### Recompute modules enum and selective checkpoint logic
-
-```python
-# 3rdparty/Megatron-LM/megatron/core/transformer/transformer_block.py
-# _checkpointed_forward() applies selective recompute based on recompute_modules
-```
+| Module | Checkpoint boundary | When to test it | Main cost or caveat |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `core_attn` | Core attention | Standard attention, especially an unfused backend retaining attention intermediates | Replays attention. Incremental savings can be small with TE fused/Flash Attention; context parallelism can replay attention communication. |
+| `mla_up_proj` | MLA Q/KV up-projection plus RoPE region | MLA models retaining expanded Q/K/V tensors | Replays the MLA expansion path. It is a distinct, potentially additive boundary from `core_attn`. |
+| `layernorm` | Input and pre-MLP normalization outputs | Norm outputs contribute materially to the peak, often alongside MoE or MLA boundaries | Usually narrow, but savings depend on hidden size, sequence length, and which graph paths are active. |
+| `moe_act` | Activation output between grouped expert FC1 and FC2 | Grouped MoE expert-intermediate activations dominate | Narrow output-discard checkpoint. It does not replay dispatch, FC1, or FC2, but has FP8 delayed-scaling restrictions. |
+| `mlp` | Whole dense MLP | Dense layers dominate after narrower boundaries are exhausted | Replays the complete dense MLP. It has no effect on layers whose MLP is MoE. |
+| `moe` | Whole MoE forward | A broad MoE region must be discarded to make the workload fit | Replays routing, dispatch/combine communication, experts, and shared-expert work. It is incompatible with expert-parallel overlap. |
+| `shared_experts` | Non-overlapped shared-expert MLP | Shared experts are a distinct material peak | Replays the shared-expert MLP and is invalid with shared-expert overlap. Outer `moe` already removes its original-forward saves, but nesting can still change the transient backward-replay peak. |
+| `gdn_norm_out` | GDN gated-normalization output | GDN/hybrid models retain this output | Replays the normalization and its HP-to-CP all-to-all path. |
+
+For example, DeepSeek V4 configurations can use the model-specific `mhc`
+label only with their required Megatron Core development branch. It is not a
+portable label for the pinned revision and therefore is not included in the
+table above.
+
+Common performance configurations consequently fall into several patterns rather than one universal list:
+
+- standard transformer recipes often use `core_attn`;
+- MLA recipes often use `mla_up_proj`, sometimes with `mlp`;
+- grouped-MoE recipes often use `moe_act` or `layernorm` plus `moe_act`;
+- higher-pressure MoE recipes sometimes use broader combinations such as `moe` plus `layernorm`.
+
+These are candidate patterns, not an ordering guarantee. Peak attribution and matched measurements decide the final list.
+
+## Measurement Contract
+
+For every candidate, capture:
+
+- exact Bridge and Megatron Core revisions;
+- model, sequence length, micro/global batch sizes, precision, attention backend, and parallelism;
+- the exact `recompute_granularity`, module list, method, and layer count;
+- per-rank `max_memory_allocated()` and `max_memory_reserved()`;
+- steady-state step time or throughput after warmup;
+- a short convergence or numerical-sanity check appropriate to the task.
+
+Use a matched no-recompute control and change one recompute choice at a time. Peak memory from different jobs, backends, or parallel layouts is not a module-ranking benchmark.
+
+Do not call a candidate successful merely because it advances farther than the
+control. Run through optimizer-state initialization and multiple steady-state
+steps: selective recompute can move the memory wall from forward into gradient
+synchronization or the optimizer without making the workload viable.
+
+## Matched H100 Evidence: Moonlight 16B
+
+A 2026-08-12 short-run study used the exact Bridge revision
+`600d069b824dd5ce50367a311a5a3244478faf22` and Megatron Core revision
+`24bad8e677d22625d86ef2a54c9506b6e4992c93`. The Moonlight 16B BF16
+pretraining recipe ran on 8 H100 80GB GPUs with sequence length 4096, MBS=1,
+GBS=4, TP=2, PP=1, CP=1, EP=8, mock data, and 20 steps. This model mixes one
+dense layer with 26 MLA+MoE layers. Each row changed only
+`recompute_modules`; all 20 losses were finite with zero skipped or NaN
+iterations.
+
+Peak allocated memory is the maximum post-optimizer value reported after
+iteration 2. Time and throughput are means over iterations 11--20.
+
+| Selective modules | Peak allocated (GB) | Step time (ms) | TFLOP/s/GPU | Allocated vs `[]` | Time vs `[]` |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| `[]` | 36.618 | 457.18 | 77.50 | control | control |
+| `core_attn` | 36.614 | 474.80 | 74.44 | -0.01% | +3.85% |
+| `mla_up_proj` | 35.902 | 480.89 | 73.72 | -1.96% | +5.19% |
+| `mla_up_proj`, `mlp` | 35.917 | 496.73 | 71.50 | -1.91% | +8.65% |
+| `moe_act` | 35.941 | 466.26 | 75.50 | -1.85% | +1.99% |
+| `layernorm`, `moe_act` | 35.949 | 506.53 | 70.27 | -1.83% | +10.79% |
+
+For this exact workload, `moe_act` is the best first boundary: it recovered
+nearly as much allocated memory as `mla_up_proj` for less replay cost.
+`mla_up_proj` is the next candidate if its roughly 39 MB additional reduction
+matters. Adding `mlp` to `mla_up_proj` or `layernorm` to `moe_act` did not
+improve the observed peak and made steps slower. Explicit `core_attn` added
+cost without material memory benefit under fused attention.
+
+Maximum reserved memory stayed near 40 GB and did not fall monotonically.
+That is allocator caching, not contrary evidence: boundary selection in this
+study is based on allocated memory and successful end-to-end steps.
+
+## Matched H100 Evidence: Nemotron 3 Nano
+
+The same 2026-08-12 study used the native 16-H100 BF16 performance recipe for
+the 52-layer hybrid Mamba/fused-attention MoE model. The matched short-run
+configuration used sequence length 8192, MBS=1, GBS=16, TP=1, PP=1, CP=1,
+EP=8, DP=16, expert-DP=2, HybridEP, grouped GEMM, TE CUDA graphs for attention and Mamba,
+mock data, and 12 steps. Each row changed only `recompute_modules`.
+
+| Selective modules | Outcome | Rank-0 measured peak | Failure or steady-state evidence |
+|---|---|---:|---|
+| `[]` | OOM after iteration 1 | 66.297 GB after iteration 1 | Iteration-2 MoE router allocation failed; hot ranks had about 72.9 GiB allocated. |
+| `core_attn` | OOM in iteration 1 | not comparable | Grouped-expert linear allocation failed; explicit attention recompute did not make the fused-attention workload fit. |
+| `moe_act` | OOM after iteration 1 | 62.103 GB after iteration 1 | 4.194 GB (6.33%) below the control at the matched checkpoint, but the iteration-2 output projection still needed 2 GiB. |
+| `layernorm`, `moe_act` | OOM in iteration 1 | not comparable | Output projection still needed 2 GiB; CUDA-graph private pools were material. |
+| `moe` | completed 12 steps | 64.653 GB after iteration 2 | 657.42 ms and 277.72 TFLOP/s/GPU over iterations 7--12. |
+| `moe`, `layernorm` | completed 12 steps | 63.639 GB after iteration 2 | 677.62 ms and 270.62 TFLOP/s/GPU over iterations 7--12. |
+
+Both successful rows had finite losses and zero skipped or NaN iterations.
+For this exact capacity-limited recipe, whole-`moe` recompute is the smallest
+tested passing boundary. Adding `layernorm` recovered another 1.014 GB (1.57%)
+of rank-0 peak at 3.07% higher step time, so the recipe's broader combination
+is justified when that headroom is required. Narrow `moe_act` produced real
+activation relief but did not make the whole training step viable.
+
+An exploratory native 8-H100 layout failed during FP32 optimizer-state
+initialization even at sequence length 4096. That is optimizer capacity, not a
+selective-boundary throughput baseline; no timing comparison from those runs
+is used here.
+
+### Cross-model conclusion
-### Recompute config validation
+These measurements do not define one ranking. Moonlight fit with an empty
+control and favored narrow `moe_act`; Nemotron required broad whole-`moe`
+recompute; historical dense Llama evidence found whole-`mlp` replay costly and
+lacked an empty control. The correct first candidate is therefore the narrowest
+boundary implicated by the architecture and peak, followed by broader replay
+only when the narrow choice does not pass the complete step.

-# Validates recompute_granularity, recompute_method, recompute_num_layers
-```
+## Compatibility and Validation
-### Llama3 recipe defaults
+### Configuration semantics
+
+- `recompute_granularity="selective"` uses `recompute_modules`; an empty list is accepted as an explicit control.
+- `recompute_granularity="full"` uses `recompute_method` and `recompute_num_layers`; selective labels do not apply.
+- Full granularity supersedes selective module choices rather than composing with them.
+- Unknown labels fail Megatron Core validation. Labels may differ on development branches, so use the exact revision's `TransformerConfig` validator as the source of truth.
-```99:103:src/megatron/bridge/recipes/llama/llama3.py
- # Memory saving (recompute & offloading)
- cfg.model.recompute_granularity = None
- cfg.model.recompute_modules = None
- cfg.model.fine_grained_activation_offloading = False
- cfg.model.offload_modules = None
-```
+### Attention backend and context parallelism
+
+- TE fused and Flash Attention already use internal rematerialization. Explicit `core_attn` may still change retained inputs/outputs, but it must earn its place in a matched `[]` comparison.
+- Under context parallelism, an attention checkpoint can replay communication as well as compute. Include CP size and topology in the measurement record.
+
+### MoE restrictions
+
+- Whole-`moe` recompute is incompatible with expert-parallel overlap because backward replay would repeat the overlapped routing/communication region.
+- `shared_experts` recompute is incompatible with shared-expert overlap.
+- `moe_act` applies to grouped-GEMM experts and is the narrower choice when only the expert activation needs to be discarded.
+- `mlp` targets dense MLPs and is a no-op on MoE layers; mixed dense/MoE models can still benefit on their dense layers.
-### Full recompute + CUDA graph assertion (MCore)
+### FP8 restrictions
+
+- `moe_act` and `layernorm` recompute are not supported with FP8 delayed scaling and require a compatible Transformer Engine version.
+- Absorbed MLA paths have additional FP8/FP4 restrictions. Validate the exact model/provider path before selecting `mla_up_proj`.
+
+### CUDA graphs
+
+- Selective recompute is valid only when a checkpointed module lies wholly inside or wholly outside the selected graph scope. A checkpoint boundary that straddles a graph boundary is invalid.
+- Capture/warmup can bypass checkpoint wrappers, so verify the final graph scope and replay path rather than assuming eager behavior carries over.
+- Full recompute with CUDA graphs requires `cuda_graph_impl="full_iteration"` in the pinned Megatron Core. Otherwise disable CUDA graphs; scoped/local graph capture is not a substitute for full-iteration capture here.
+
+## Historical Measurement: Context, Not a Module Ranking
+
+Historical H100 measurements from Bridge PR #3107 used Llama 3 70B SFT on 32 H100 80GB GPUs with FP8 current scaling, sequence length 4096, micro-batch size 1, global batch size 32, TP=4, PP=4, VPP=5, and DP=2:

+| Configuration | TFLOP/s/GPU | Peak memory |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| `core_attn` baseline in that run | ~704 | 58.8 GB (OOM on rank 0) |
+| `mlp` | 593.6 | 55.6 GB |
+| `mlp` + `core_attn` | 586.8 | 55.6 GB |
+| `core_attn` + `layernorm` | ~702 | 59.6 GB (OOM on rank 0) |
+| Golden throughput recorded in the PR context | 709.93 | Not a paired memory measurement |

## Failure Diagnosis
-| Symptom | Cause | Confirm | Fix |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| >15% GPU utilization drop | `mlp` recompute on a large FFN | check whether `recompute_modules` includes `mlp` | remove `mlp`, lower micro batch size, or use CPU offload if PP=1 |
-| Still OOM after adding layernorm | layernorm activations are too small to move the peak materially | compare peak memory before/after | switch to a higher-impact module or full-layer recompute |
-| `AssertionError: full recompute is only supported with full iteration CUDA graph` | layer-level recompute with TE-scoped graph capture | check `cuda_graph_impl` and `cuda_graph_scope` | use `selective`, set `cuda_graph_impl=none`, or use `local` + `full_iteration` |
-| ValueError: PP + CPU offloading | `cpu_offloading=True` with `pipeline_model_parallel_size > 1` | check PP config | disable CPU offloading or set PP=1 |
-| mlp+core_attn worse than mlp alone | double recompute overhead | compare Exp 1 vs Exp 2 | use mlp alone |
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Next action |
+|---|---|---|
+| `core_attn` gives little or no peak reduction | Fused/Flash attention already rematerializes the expensive internals, or the peak is elsewhere | Compare with `[]`, attribute the peak, then test the architecture-specific boundary such as `mla_up_proj` or `moe_act`. |
+| MLA still OOMs after `core_attn` | Expanded Q/K/V projection tensors, not attention-core tensors, dominate | Test `mla_up_proj`; add `core_attn` only if matched evidence supports it. |
+| MoE peak remains high | Expert intermediate or norm outputs dominate | Test `moe_act`, then `layernorm`; reserve whole `moe` for broader pressure. |
+| Expert-overlap validation fails | Whole-`moe` or `shared_experts` recompute conflicts with overlap | Keep overlap and use a compatible inner boundary, or disable overlap and remeasure the entire configuration. |
+| A selected label has no measurable effect | That module is absent or inactive on the measured layers, or graph capture bypassed the wrapper | Inspect the provider/layer mix and final graph scope; for example, `mlp` is ineffective on pure-MoE layers. |
+| Full recompute plus CUDA graphs asserts | Graph implementation is not full-iteration | Set `cuda_graph_impl="full_iteration"` or disable CUDA graphs. |
+| Reserved memory is high but allocated memory is stable | Allocator fragmentation or caching | Try `PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True` before adding recompute. |
+| OOM moves to a different rank after enabling recompute | Pipeline/virtual-pipeline layer distribution changed the bottleneck | Compare per-rank peaks and tune full block/uniform placement or selective boundaries for the actual hot stage. |
+| A candidate gets farther but still OOMs | Recompute moved the peak into gradient synchronization or optimizer-state initialization | Record the changed failure stage as diagnostic evidence, but require optimizer initialization and multiple steady steps before calling it a pass. |
## Known Limitations
-- Per-module memory savings vary significantly by model architecture and hidden
- dimension
-- No automatic module selection — users must choose which modules to recompute
-- `layernorm` recompute is almost never worth it as a standalone fix
-- CPU offloading (the zero-compute-cost alternative) is blocked when PP > 1
+- A module list is not portable across model families, attention backends, parallel layouts, or Megatron Core revisions.
+- Memory savings are nonlinear when boundaries overlap or nest; additive arithmetic is unreliable.
+- Full recompute changes RNG execution paths; dropout workloads need a numerical/convergence check.
+- Activation recompute does not address parameter, optimizer-state, or allocator-fragmentation pressure.
+- The correct result is the smallest measured replay cost that satisfies the per-rank memory target, not the longest module list.

summary: >
- Selective activation recompute trades GPU compute for memory by recomputing
- specific module outputs during backward instead of storing them. Megatron
- Bridge exposes recompute_modules (core_attn, mlp, layernorm, moe, moe_act,
- shared_experts, mla_up_proj) for fine-grained control. Measured on Llama3
- 70B SFT (32x H100, FP8 CS): mlp recompute saves ~3 GB peak memory but
- costs ~16% GPU utilization; layernorm recompute is nearly free (~0% cost)
- but saves negligible memory; core_attn recompute is the default and is
- cheap when Flash Attention is active. Full-layer recompute
- (recompute_granularity=full) gives the strongest memory reduction but the
- highest compute overhead.
+ Selective activation recompute trades replayed forward work for lower retained
+ activation memory. The correct checkpoint boundary is architecture- and
+ backend-specific: core_attn is common for standard attention, mla_up_proj is
+ often more relevant for MLA, and moe_act or layernorm plus moe_act are common
+ narrow choices for grouped MoE. The pinned Megatron Core also accepts mlp,
+ moe, shared_experts, and gdn_norm_out. Full-layer recompute has the broadest
+ memory effect and replay cost. Development branches may expose additional
+ model-specific labels, so the exact target revision is authoritative.

+ Narrow output-discard boundaries such as moe_act can replay much less work
+ than whole mlp or moe boundaries. Attention cost also depends on the
+ backend and context-parallel communication. The historical Llama 3 70B
+ run measured mlp only relative to a core_attn baseline, not to a matched
+ no-recompute control. The matched Moonlight run found 1.99% overhead for
+ moe_act, 5.19% for mla_up_proj, and no useful core_attn memory reduction
+ in that exact fused-attention recipe. In the matched Nemotron run,
+ whole-moe recompute was the smallest tested passing boundary; adding
+ layernorm cost 3.07% more step time for 1.014 GB more rank-0 headroom.
memory:
- effect: "~0 GB (layernorm) to ~3 GB (mlp) peak memory reduction"
- confidence: high
+ effect: workload-dependent reduction in retained activations
+ confidence: medium
rationale: >
- Measured on Llama3 70B SFT 32x H100: mlp recompute reduced peak from
- 58.8 to 55.6 GB. Layernorm recompute did not measurably reduce peak.
- core_attn+layernorm together still OOMed at 59.6 GB.
+ Savings depend on which tensors drive the per-rank peak. Standard
+ attention, MLA expansions, dense FFNs, grouped expert activations, and
+ norm outputs require different boundaries; nested boundaries are not
+ additive. The matched Moonlight sweep directly confirmed comparable
+ savings from moe_act and mla_up_proj, no material core_attn reduction,
+ and no incremental peak benefit from the tested nested additions. The
+ Nemotron sweep showed that a narrow boundary can materially reduce an
+ intermediate peak yet remain insufficient for the complete step.
scale:
- effect: "neutral"
- confidence: medium
+ effect: can replay communication at some boundaries
+ confidence: high
rationale: >
- Recompute is per-GPU and does not change communication patterns.
+ core_attn under context parallelism, whole moe, and gdn_norm_out can
+ replay communication during backward. Scale and topology therefore form
+ part of the measurement contract.
convergence:
- effect: "no change expected (numerically identical forward)"
- confidence: high
+ effect: no semantic change expected when RNG replay is correct; verify
+ confidence: medium
rationale: >
- Recompute replays the same forward computation — no numerical change.
+ Recomputation should reproduce the forward region during backward, but
+ dropout, graph capture, precision, and branch-specific behavior warrant a
+ numerical or short convergence check.
stability:
- effect: "neutral"
+ effect: conditional on feature compatibility
confidence: high
rationale: >
- No additional failure modes beyond the existing config constraints.
+ Megatron Core validates restrictions involving CUDA graphs, FP8 modes,
+ overlap features, and the selected module labels.
enable_when:
- - training OOMs or is close to the GPU memory limit
- - memory savings from lighter modules (core_attn, layernorm) are enough
- - throughput loss from mlp recompute is acceptable for the use case
- - full-layer recompute is needed as a last resort for very tight memory
+ - allocated activation memory, rather than allocator fragmentation, drives OOM or inadequate headroom
+ - a matched architecture-specific checkpoint boundary reduces the hot rank's peak at acceptable throughput
+ - full-layer recompute is needed after narrower selective boundaries are exhausted
avoid_when:
- - the model already fits with acceptable headroom
- - mlp recompute cost (~16%) is too high and VPP or parallelism tuning can fix OOM instead
- - TE-scoped CUDA graphs are enabled with recompute_granularity=full (incompatible)
- - CPU offloading is available and cheaper (PP=1 only)
+ - the model fits with acceptable headroom and recompute does not improve another measured objective
+ - max reserved memory is high but max allocated memory does not support an activation-capacity diagnosis
+ - the selected module is absent or inactive for the model's measured layers

-- Codex (`codex`)
+- Claude Code (`aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8`)
+- Codex (`openai/openai/gpt-5.5`)
## Evaluation Tasks:
-Evaluated against 1 internal skill-activation task in the NVSkills-Eval external profile.
+Evaluated against 3 positive evaluation tasks covering architecture-aware memory diagnosis, matched Moonlight 16B evidence interpretation, and matched Nemotron 3 Nano capacity evidence interpretation.
## Evaluation Metrics Used:
Reported benchmark dimensions:
-- Security: Checks whether skill-assisted execution avoids unsafe behavior such as secret leakage, destructive commands, or unauthorized access.
-- Correctness: Checks whether the agent follows the expected workflow and produces the correct final output.
-- Discoverability: Checks whether the agent loads the skill when relevant and avoids using it when irrelevant.
-- Effectiveness: Checks whether the agent performs measurably better with the skill than without it.
-- Efficiency: Checks whether the agent uses fewer tokens and avoids redundant work.
+- Security: Whether the skill is safe to use (no unsafe operations, secret leakage, or unauthorized access).
+- Correctness: Whether the skill produces correct answers against reference ground truth.
+- Discoverability: Whether the right skill is loaded and activated when needed.
+- Effectiveness: Whether the skill helps the agent complete the user's goal and expected workflow.
+- Efficiency: Whether the skill avoids wasted tool or skill usage.
Underlying evaluation signals used in this run:
-- `security`: Checks for unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
-- `skill_execution`: Verifies that the agent loaded the expected skill and workflow.
-- `skill_efficiency`: Checks routing quality, decoy avoidance, and redundant tool usage.
-- `accuracy`: Grades final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
-- `goal_accuracy`: Checks whether the overall user task completed successfully.
-- `behavior_check`: Verifies expected behavior steps, including safety expectations.
-- `token_efficiency`: Compares token usage with and without the skill.
+- `security`: Unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
+- `skill_execution`: Whether the expected skill was found and executed.
+- `skill_efficiency`: Routing quality, workspace-aware skill reads, and productive tool use.
+- `accuracy`: Final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
+- `goal_accuracy`: Whether the user's goal was achieved.
+- `behavior_check`: Whether the expected workflow behavior was followed.
