The first PR of #2452 (RC5 sub-epic A): the schema skeleton and the acceptance-test fixtures for the one report format the issue asks for — the versioned JSON document that will carry a scoring run's provenance, per-frame scores, per-window statistics and events across the CLI, the C API and the server. The writer/reader C ABI and the four identity checks stay in the follow-up PRs of the same issue, as agreed in the thread; this PR is the shape to review.
api/run-result-timeline.schema.json (JSON Schema draft 2020-12, the docs/hardware-reports/report.schema.json precedent): schema_version (const 1 today), provenance, scoring_configuration, frames, windows, events, and a shared time_key that carries at least one of a 0-based frame index, a nanosecond timestamp and an SMPTE-style timecode. It evolves additively under HISS-14 — after a release, members are added, never removed, renamed or retyped — and a reader refuses an unknown schema_version by name.
api/testdata/run-result-timeline/ carries the acceptance fixtures: valid-minimal.json (boundary: every section present, all series empty), valid-full.json (positive: entries in every section), invalid-event-without-time.json and invalid-unknown-schema-version.json (the two named refusals).
scripts/ci/tests/test_run_result_timeline_schema.py pins the fixtures with jsonschema 4.26.0 (already in the tooling-tests lock): boundary and positive validate; the planted event without a time key is refused with an error at $.events[0] naming time; the unknown version is refused with an error naming schema_version. The file joins the tooling suite through the scripts/ path of .github/test-suites.json; scripts/ci/suite_registry.py check stays green (1730 test files, 16 suites).
docs/api/run-result-timeline.md is the human reference (the docs/api/stream-metadata-fields.md precedent: what the file holds, and that it is the shape only, not the reporting code), with changelog.d/added/run-result-timeline-schema.md and a REUSE.toml annotation block crediting the new files.
Every commit is signed off (git commit -s; fix a branch with git rebase --signoff origin/master). See DCO sign-off.
make format && make lint is green locally — ruff (0.17.3) and black (26.10.1, the pinned versions) are clean on the touched Python file; the touched JSON/Markdown files carry no formatting lane beyond the docs checks (scripts/docs/check_doc_links.py: 8 links, 0 findings), and scripts/ci/suite_registry.py check plus scripts/docs/check-credits.py (OK - 229 entries, five checks clean) are green.
Unit tests pass: python -m unittest scripts.ci.tests.test_run_result_timeline_schema — 4/4 (fixture-based, no network); no C build is touched, so the meson lane is not applicable to this diff.
If I touched any SIMD/GPU code path, I ran /cross-backend-diff and the worst ULP is ≤ 2. — not applicable: schema and fixtures only.
If I touched a feature extractor with SIMD/GPU twins, I either updated every twin or listed the gap under "Known follow-ups" below. — not applicable.
If I added a new .c / .cpp / .cu / .h / .hpp, it has the appropriate license header (see CONTRIBUTING.md). — not applicable: no native file added; the Python file carries the EUPL header and every new file is credited through the new REUSE.toml annotation block.
If this is a breaking change, the commit message uses ! or BREAKING CHANGE: and the migration path is documented below. — not a breaking change: additive files only.
If this PR adds an ADR, the ADR row lives in docs/adr/_index_fragments/<NNNN-slug>.md and nothing else is touched for the index: do not edit docs/adr/README.md, docs/adr/by-tag/, docs/adr/titles.md or _order.txt (rendered when pull requests land by make docs-render; see ADR-2197; the render-only pull request of ADR-3295 is the one exception). — no ADR added: the additive-evolution rule lives in the schema description and the docs page, the api/stream-metadata-fields.json precedent for a definition that carries its own HISS-14 statement.
docs/state.md updated in this PR with a row
in the appropriate section (Open / Recently closed / Confirmed
not-affected / Deferred), OR the opt-out line described in the comment above. — no state delta: schema, fixtures, docs and a changelog fragment only; no product behaviour, score or gate changes.
I did not modify any assertAlmostEqual(...) score in the Netflix golden Python tests, except by porting Netflix's own updated assertion verbatim from upstream (value and places as upstream has them, measured against the fork's CPU build first; ADR-1828). — not applicable: python/test/ untouched.
If I believe a golden value must change, I have explained why below AND pinged @lusoris for a CODEOWNERS exception. — not applicable: no golden value touched.
Research digest — no digest needed: the analysis is the Minimal common run-result timeline: one report format for per-frame scores, windows, events and provenance (RC5) #2452 thread itself (the issue's scope and acceptance, plus the 2026-11-07 narrow-start agreement with the maintainer's pointers), and the surfaces this schema references were read at their sources: the OpenAPI Provenance schema and scoring group of api/openapi/vmafx-server-v1.yaml, the VmafxProvenance definition in core/api/vmafx.toml, and the two in-tree precedents this PR follows (docs/hardware-reports/report.schema.json, api/stream-metadata-fields.json).
Decision matrix — three decisions, recorded here: (a) JSON Schema draft 2020-12 vs a field-registry document vs a proto schema — JSON Schema wins because two in-tree schemas already use it, the validator is in the tooling-tests lock, and the named-refusal acceptance maps onto validator errors at the offending path; (b) copy the provenance/scoring field contracts into this schema vs pin the identity and reference the single source — the latter, so the contracts cannot drift (HISS-19); (c) placement api/ vs docs/ — api/, next to the other cross-surface contracts (api/openapi/, api/stream-metadata-fields.json), with fixtures under api/testdata/run-result-timeline/.
AGENTS.md invariant note — none added: the schema carries its own additive-evolution statement (the api/stream-metadata-fields.json pattern), and the new test file belongs to the tooling suite through the existing scripts/ path pattern of .github/test-suites.json, so the manifest is unchanged.
Reproducer / smoke-test command — pasted below under "Reproducer".
CHANGELOG fragment — changelog.d/added/run-result-timeline-schema.md.
The docs page is reachable from the schema's $id/description and the issue, like docs/api/stream-metadata-fields.md, which also sits outside the mkdocs nav; if the review prefers a nav or docs/api/index.md row instead, that is a one-line follow-up in this PR.
Part of #2452 (deliberately not Closes: the C ABI writer/reader and the identity checks follow).

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a versioned JSON format for documenting run provenance, scoring configuration, frame scores, window statistics, and events.
Added reference documentation and example documents, including cases that demonstrate valid timelines and invalid data.
Tests
Added checks for valid timeline documents and rejection of events without time information or unsupported schema versions.
The RC5 front issue VMAFx#2452 asks for one report format before alignment, fields, masks and bits per pixel each invent their own; its first PR is the schema skeleton and the acceptance-test fixtures, with the C ABI writer/reader and the four identity checks following once the shape is reviewed. api/run-result-timeline.schema.json (JSON Schema draft 2020-12) pins the document identity: schema_version 1, the provenance record of vmafx_context_provenance_json() with its digest as the identity anchor, the scoring-option surface, the per-frame series, per-window statistics and events, each located by a time key carrying at least one of frame index, timestamp and timecode. The provenance and scoring-configuration field contracts stay with their single sources (the OpenAPI Provenance schema and the scoring component group of api/openapi/vmafx-server-v1.yaml) so the two contracts cannot drift, and the schema evolves additively under HISS-14. api/testdata/run-result-timeline/ carries the acceptance fixtures and scripts/ci/tests/test_run_result_timeline_schema.py pins them: boundary and positive documents validate, a planted event without a time key is refused by name, and an unknown schema_version is refused by name. The test joins the tooling suite through the scripts/ path of .github/test-suites.json; docs/api/run-result-timeline.md is the human reference; the rebase note records the REUSE.toml contributor-block position.

Walkthrough
The PR adds a version-1 JSON schema for run-result timelines, valid and invalid example documents, and schema validation tests. It also adds API, changelog, and rebase documentation. No CLI flag, C call, or server endpoint writes the document.
Changes: Timeline schema and acceptance checks
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Define the timeline contract and examples api/run-result-timeline.schema.json, api/testdata/run-result-timeline/valid-*.json, docs/api/run-result-timeline.md, docs/rebase-notes.d/run-result-timeline-schema.md, changelog.d/added/run-result-timeline-schema.md, REUSE.toml
Defines the required document fields, time keys, provenance digest, frame scores, window statistics, and event types. Adds minimal and full valid examples. The documentation describes the schema, versioning, and current writer status.
Check valid and invalid documents api/testdata/run-result-timeline/invalid-*.json, scripts/ci/tests/test_run_result_timeline_schema.py
Adds fixtures for an event without a time key and an unsupported schema version. Tests validate the valid examples and check that each invalid case is rejected.
Resolve the fixture and schema contract mismatches before publishing version 1; they could otherwise mislead future timeline writers and readers.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 3282e
The change introduces a shared data contract but no runtime reader, writer, or new privileged operation. Its main design risk is that the accepted full example conflicts with the existing provenance JSON representation before the contract becomes append-only.
Retained concerns
Low · architecture · observed: The new full acceptance example represents active_backend as an integer, although the delegated provenance JSON contract requires a lower-case enum-name string. Because timeline validation constrains only the provenance digest shape, it accepts this incompatible example. This weakens the proposed single-source attribution contract before its documented append-only commitment takes effect. No runtime misattribution or security bypass is demonstrated.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated execution exposure is limited to local acceptance validation of repository-controlled files. The inspected change does not establish a new tenant-facing report ingestion path or grant authority over services, credentials, or persistent application state.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Required version and event-addressing constraints provide structural rejection rules. They do not constitute a runtime trust boundary here: the current validator receives fixed fixtures, and production readers and identity checks are explicitly deferred.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Before runtime adoption, keep structural schema validation distinct from provenance verification and producer authenticity. Exercise the established JSON representation and identity checks at the eventual reader boundary rather than treating a schema-valid digest string as proof of attribution.

Pull Request Overview
⚠️Resolve issues before merging
Two schema contract issues should be addressed before merging:
The schema permits timelines without scoring configuration, leaving the required document shape ambiguous.
Window statistic strings accept arbitrary values rather than only the documented non-finite representations.
No uncovered complex files or additional quality findings were reported.
Test suggestions
Validate the minimal boundary document.
Validate a full document containing entries in every timeline section.
Reject an event missing its time key and identify the offending path.
Reject an unsupported schema version and identify schema_version.
Verify that omission of scoring_configuration is rejected if it is intended to be a required document section.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that omission of scoring_configuration is rejected if it is intended to be a required document section.
"description": "The computed value as a JSON number; a writer spells a non-finite result as the string NaN, +Inf or -Inf, and a reader matches that spelling."

🟡 MEDIUM RISK
If scoring configuration is required, add it to the schema's required list and include it in the minimal fixture; otherwise make its optional status explicit in the documentation and acceptance tests.

**Scoring options disappear from reports**
When a producer omits `scoring_configuration`, the timeline schema does not require `scoring_configuration`, so `validate` accepts reports without the scoring options callers need to interpret or reproduce their scores. The minimal fixture also omits the section while its test passes.
Require `scoring_configuration` in the schema and include it in the minimal fixture.

**Provenance examples contradict the contract**
When a consumer uses the full fixture as an example of a serialized provenance record, the fixture sets `provenance.active_backend` to a number, but the authoritative contract and `vmafx_context_provenance_json()` represent the backend as a string. The schema accepts this mismatch, so consumers copying the fixture produce provenance records that conflict with the contract.
Use a string for `provenance.active_backend` in the fixture and validate it against the authoritative provenance contract.

<issue_to_address>
**Invalid timecodes pass validation**
When a time key contains a timecode with out-of-range components, the timecode pattern checks only the digit-and-separator layout, so values such as `99:99:99:99` pass schema validation. Consumers receive malformed timeline positions as valid data.
Constrain timecode components in the schema to valid ranges.

**Unknown statistic strings pass validation**
When a window statistic contains a string other than `NaN`, `+Inf` or `-Inf`, the window `value` schema accepts arbitrary strings despite the documented restriction. Invalid values such as `unknown` pass validation and reach readers as malformed statistics.
Restrict string values in the schema to `NaN`, `+Inf` and `-Inf`.

<issue_to_address>
**Invalid window ranges pass validation**
When a window has an end before its start, or its endpoints use different time-key coordinate types, the schema validates window endpoints independently and does not compare them. Reversed or incomparable endpoints therefore pass validation, leaving consumers with invalid or ambiguous half-open ranges.
Validate that window endpoints use comparable coordinates and that the end is not before the start.

<issue_to_address>
**Additive changes break older readers**
When a later release adds a member or event type while retaining schema version 1, the schema closes objects to unknown properties and fixes the event vocabulary, so older validators reject documents containing additive changes. Readers cannot rely on the stated backward-compatible evolution contract.
Make schema validation tolerate additive members and event types for the same schema version, or revise the versioning contract so older readers can handle later documents.

**Decision record is missing**
When the provenance and scoring contracts are referenced without an accompanying ADR, the schema's non-trivial choice to reference authoritative contracts rather than copy them has no ADR, and the alternatives matrix remains only in the PR description. The decision and its alternatives are not recorded in the required location.
Add an ADR documenting the decision and put the alternatives matrix in its `Alternatives considered` section.

**Unrelated error satisfies time check**
When the event schema stops requiring `time` but an unrelated validation error at the event path mentions `time`, `test_event_without_time_key_refused_by_name` treats any error under `$.events` whose message contains `time` as evidence that the missing time key was refused; an invalid `type` enum containing only `time` produces such an error even if the schema no longer requires the event’s `time` property.
Assert that the matching error specifically reports the missing `time` property, rather than accepting any event error containing that substring.

The schema accepts this mismatch, so consumers copying the fixture produce provenance records that conflict with the contract.
Use a string for `provenance.active_backend` in the fixture and validate it against the authoritative provenance contract.

🟡 Medium · Invalid timecodes pass validation
When a time key contains a timecode with out-of-range components, the timecode pattern checks only the digit-and-separator layout, so values such as 99:99:99:99 pass schema validation. Consumers receive malformed timeline positions as valid data.
Constrain timecode components in the schema to valid ranges.

Resolve the ambiguous value type in window_statistic.
The value member accepts any string, not only NaN, +Inf or -Inf. A value such as "abc" passes validation. The description says a reader matches the non-finite spelling. The schema does not enforce it.
Restrict the string branch to the three spellings. This closes the gap now, before the contract is frozen under HISS-14. After release, members cannot be retyped.

Fix active_backend to match the OpenAPI Provenance contract.
The OpenAPI schema types active_backend as a lower-case string, the value name of VmafxBackend without the prefix. This fixture uses the integer 1.

Thanks for this. The skeleton follows the issue and the narrow start agreed in the thread, and the shape reads well. Five changes are needed before it can merge, plus three optional nits; each one is an inline comment with the fix.
Needed:
Record the versioning model in an ADR (schema line 17).
Keep the fixture inside the OpenAPI contract it points at (valid-full.json lines 7 and 22), and test that (test file line 56).
Spell non-finite values the way the CLI's JSON output does (schema lines 105 and 133).
Import jsonschema without a skip guard (test file lines 26-39).
Pin the one expected error in both refusal tests (test file lines 60 and 75).
Optional: timecode bounds (schema line 71), the fixture's commit hash (valid-full.json line 9) and the issue number in REUSE.toml line 13.
How this maps to the open bot threads:
The value-string, +Inf and active_backend threads are covered by the needed items above.
The ADR, closed-objects and scoring_configuration threads are covered by the ADR item.
A window whose end comes before its start cannot be expressed in JSON Schema, which cannot compare two values, so that check belongs to the reader in the follow-up PR.
The research-digest and invariant-note opt-outs pass scripts/ci/deliverables-check.sh as written. The workflow runs on this head still need a maintainer approval; that part is on our side.

Needed: record the versioning model in an ADR before this lands. docs/development/agent-hard-rules.md item 8 asks for one whenever another engineer could reasonably have chosen differently, and here the two in-tree precedents disagree:
docs/hardware-reports/report.schema.json keeps closed objects and lists every known version in a schema_version enum, adding one per change.
ADR-3311 keeps api/stream-metadata-fields.json append-only and moves to version 2 only for a change that cannot be an addition.
With additionalProperties: false and const: 1, this schema follows the first model: every added member or event type means version 2, and a version-1 reader refuses the whole document. That may well be the right call; the ADR should say so and why, and also whether scoring_configuration is required.
scripts/adr/next-free.sh --claim run-result-timeline-schema reserves the number, the index row goes in docs/adr/_index_fragments/<NNNN-slug>.md, and the decision matrix from the PR body becomes the ADR's ## Alternatives considered.

Needed: the OpenAPI Provenance schema this section points at types active_backend as a string, the lower-case value name of VmafxBackend (api/openapi/vmafx-server-v1.yaml:419-421). The schema leaves provenance open, so the four tests do not catch it; the contract test suggested at the test file's line 56 fails on this line today.

Needed:model is not a member of ScoreOptions, the options object of the scoring group (api/openapi/vmafx-server-v1.yaml:168). In a request it sits next to options in ScoreRequest, and the run's models are already recorded in the provenance models array. Dropping the line keeps the fixture inside the contract; naming ScoreOptions in the schema description at line 89 would make the pointer exact.
"description": "The computed value as a JSON number; a writer spells a non-finite result as the string NaN, +Inf or -Inf, and a reader matches that spelling."

Needed: use the spelling the CLI's JSON output already uses for non-finite values. json_write_frame_metric in core/src/output.cpp:325-341 writes NaN and ±Inf as null, which docs/usage/vmaf-tune-compare.md:227 also documents.
This schema spells them as strings here and forbids them in frame scores (line 105). A converter from today's JSON output, which the issue asks for, would have to translate, and a frame with a non-finite score could not be written at all. One spelling across outputs is the HISS-19 rule. If telling NaN apart from ±Inf matters, that belongs in the ADR, and the CLI writer would change with it.

Nit: the pattern accepts 99:99:99:99 and has no drop-frame form, which is commonly written with ; before the frames. This bounds hours, minutes and seconds and allows either separator; the frames bound depends on the frame rate, so the reader checks it.

Summary
The first PR of #2452 (RC5 sub-epic A): the schema skeleton and the acceptance-test fixtures for the one report format the issue asks for — the versioned JSON document that will carry a scoring run's provenance, per-frame scores, per-window statistics and events across the CLI, the C API and the server. The writer/reader C ABI and the four identity checks stay in the follow-up PRs of the same issue, as agreed in the thread; this PR is the shape to review.
