Provide CPU relief during video meetings for low-spec and constrained devices by dynamically reducing video quality.

Context and motivation:

Video processing can be intensive on resource-constrained hardware. To ensure accessibility on any device, this feature introduces both automatic, proactive CPU-constraint detection and manual controls in settings, so users can reduce CPU load while keeping control over their experience.

Key changes:

  • Performance mode store

    • Central, non-persisted store as the single source of truth for performance mode.
    • Decouples inputs (e.g. CpuConstrainedObserver, settings toggle) from effects (PerformanceModeController for publishing encodings, VideoResolutionSubscription for incoming quality caps).
    • Intentionally session-scoped to prevent sticky low-quality modes across meetings.
  • Auto-detection and user toast notification

    • Automatically activate performance mode when the encoder reports CPU constraints.
    • Show a 30-second toast letting users override ("keep my quality"), which restores encodings and suppresses further auto-activations for the session.
  • Video settings tab

    • Update the Videos tab in the settings so it reflects the current performance mode state and lets users toggle it manually.
  • Hardware telemetry snapshot

    • Add a non-throwing, best-effort environment snapshot (core count, memory, battery status) attached to performance events, to help analyze hardware patterns across sessions.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Use LiveKit prioritizePerformance
  • ➕ Delegates encoding policy to the SDK.
  • ➕ Requires less application code.
  • ➖ Its internal state can permanently disable dynacast.
  • ➖ It cannot provide reversible session-scoped behavior.
2. Only reduce outgoing camera quality
  • ➕ Simplifies implementation.
  • ➕ Avoids remote subscription updates.
  • ➖ Does not reduce decode workload from incoming video.
  • ➖ Provides less CPU relief on participant-heavy calls.

Recommendation: Keep the centralized, session-scoped store and reversible sender-parameter approach. It separates triggers from effects, avoids sticky preferences, and reduces both encode and decode load; the LiveKit shortcut was appropriately avoided because of its dynacast behavior.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because performance state can leak across meetings and failed encoding restoration can leave camera quality permanently reduced.

The two previously reported failures remain in the current code: teardown does not fully reset session-scoped performance state, and restoration destroys its pristine encoding snapshot before confirming that it can restore the track.

Action required

1. Mode state persists cross-room 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
PerformanceModeController only disables performance mode on unmount when trigger === 'cpu', so
manually enabled mode and the userDeclinedAuto suppression flag can persist across leaving/rejoining
rooms and keep quality capped unexpectedly. This contradicts the PR’s stated session/meeting scoping
and can also suppress future auto-activations beyond the intended session.
Code

src/frontend/src/features/performance/components/PerformanceModeController.tsx[R100-103]

+    return () => {
+      if (performanceModeStore.trigger === 'cpu') {
+        disablePerformanceMode()
+      }
Evidence
The unmount cleanup only disables when trigger is 'cpu', while the store is module-scoped and
userDeclinedAuto is only ever set to true and never reset; multiple components use
performanceModeStore.enabled to cap quality, so stale state affects later rooms in the same
runtime.

src/frontend/src/features/performance/components/PerformanceModeController.tsx[98-105]
src/frontend/src/stores/performanceMode.ts[5-13]
src/frontend/src/stores/performanceMode.ts[21-30]

src/frontend/src/features/settings/components/tabs/VideoTab.tsx[247-259]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`performanceModeStore` is module-scoped and survives room transitions. However, `PerformanceModeController` only resets the store on unmount when `trigger === 'cpu'`, and `userDeclinedAuto` is never cleared. As a result, manual performance mode and/or auto-decline can unintentionally apply to subsequent meetings in the same SPA session.
## Issue Context
- The PR description says the store is intentionally session/meeting-scoped (non-sticky across meetings).
- `VideoResolutionSubscription` and settings UI read `performanceModeStore.enabled` and will cap/disable quality controls based on stale values.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/frontend/src/features/performance/components/PerformanceModeController.tsx[98-105]
- src/frontend/src/stores/performanceMode.ts[5-30]
- src/frontend/src/features/performance/components/CpuConstrainedObserver.tsx[30-36]
- src/frontend/src/features/rooms/livekit/components/VideoResolutionSubscription.tsx[14-23]
## Suggested fix
1. Add an explicit `resetPerformanceMode()` helper in `performanceMode.ts` that sets:
 - `enabled = false`
 - `trigger = null`
 - `userDeclinedAuto = false`
2. Call `resetPerformanceMode()` when leaving/unmounting the room (in `PerformanceModeController` cleanup), regardless of trigger, to enforce meeting/session scoping.
3. Ensure disabling performance mode (manual toggle off) does not leave `userDeclinedAuto` stuck `true` unless that persistence is explicitly desired only within the current meeting.

2. Restore drops encoding snapshot 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
restoreVideoTrack deletes the saved pre-degradation encodings before verifying the sender/encoding
shape is restorable, so if encodings changed (e.g., after restart/device change), it returns without
restoring and loses the only pristine snapshot. Subsequent degradation/restoration can then fail to
reliably recover the original encoding parameters.
Code

src/frontend/src/features/performance/degradation.ts[R101-104]

+export const restoreVideoTrack = async (track: LocalVideoTrack) => {
+  const saved = savedEncodingsByTrack.get(track)
+  savedEncodingsByTrack.delete(track)
+
Evidence
The code snapshots encodings once on degradation, but restore unconditionally deletes that snapshot
before validating current encodings; the controller calls restore when performance mode is disabled,
so a restore failure here directly impacts user-visible quality recovery.

src/frontend/src/features/performance/degradation.ts[46-57]
src/frontend/src/features/performance/degradation.ts[100-113]
src/frontend/src/features/performance/components/PerformanceModeController.tsx[37-45]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`restoreVideoTrack()` removes the stored pristine encoding snapshot before checking whether it can actually restore it. If the sender is missing or `params.encodings.length` differs from the saved snapshot, the function returns early and the snapshot is irretrievably lost.
## Issue Context
Track restarts and LiveKit encoding recomputations are explicitly anticipated (controller re-applies degradation after `TrackEvent.Restarted`). Those same lifecycle events can cause encoding array shape changes, making this early-delete path realistic.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/frontend/src/features/performance/degradation.ts[46-57]
- src/frontend/src/features/performance/degradation.ts[100-126]
- src/frontend/src/features/performance/components/PerformanceModeController.tsx[37-45]
## Suggested fix
1. Do **not** call `savedEncodingsByTrack.delete(track)` until after you have validated:
 - `saved` exists
 - `sender` exists
 - `params.encodings` exists and is compatible (or you’ve implemented a best-effort restore)
 - `await sender.setParameters(params)` succeeds
2. If `params.encodings.length !== saved.length`, consider a best-effort restore for the overlapping indices (min length), or keep the snapshot and retry restore after the track stabilizes.
3. Only clear the saved snapshot when the restore has been applied successfully.

3. Uncleared battery timeout ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ➹ Performance
Description
collectHardwareSnapshot starts a timeout promise for getBattery() but never clears the timer when
getBattery resolves first, causing short-lived but unnecessary queued timeouts on repeated calls.
This is minor but sits on a telemetry path that may run multiple times per session.
Code

src/frontend/src/features/analytics/hardware.ts[R52-56]

+      const battery = await Promise.race([
+        nav.getBattery(),
+        new Promise<null>((resolve) =>
+          setTimeout(() => resolve(null), BATTERY_TIMEOUT_MS)
+        ),
Evidence
The race uses a raw setTimeout without capturing/clearing an id, and the snapshot function is
called during CPU-constrained telemetry collection.

src/frontend/src/features/analytics/hardware.ts[50-57]
src/frontend/src/features/performance/components/CpuConstrainedObserver.tsx[38-48]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The `setTimeout` used as a guard in `Promise.race` is not cleared when `nav.getBattery()` settles first, leaving an extra timer to fire later even though the race is already resolved.
## Issue Context
`collectHardwareSnapshot()` is invoked from the CPU constrained observer telemetry path.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/frontend/src/features/analytics/hardware.ts[50-57]
- src/frontend/src/features/performance/components/CpuConstrainedObserver.tsx[38-48]
## Suggested fix
Wrap the timeout in a helper that captures `timeoutId` and calls `clearTimeout(timeoutId)` in a `finally` block after the race resolves, e.g.:
- create `let timeoutId: ReturnType<typeof setTimeout>`
- set it when scheduling
- clear it after `await Promise.race(...)` regardless of which promise wins.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Added frontend performance mode with automatic CPU-constrained detection and manual settings control. The implementation collects hardware telemetry, degrades local camera encoding, limits remote video quality, and restores settings when disabled. It adds telemetry failure reporting, CPU-constrained notifications with a keep-quality action, room integration, and translations in English, German, French, and Dutch.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 28826

This change automatically reduces video quality and adds hardware telemetry, but the current implementation can increase already-low resolutions, leave video degraded after overlapping updates or failed restoration, and send hardware details without an explicit analytics-consent gate. These can affect meeting quality and user privacy, so the PR is not ready to merge until addressed.

CpuConstrainedObserver call path to require explicit analytics consent before
collecting or sending any HardwareSnapshot fields; do not rely on captureEvent
or useIsAnalyticsEnabled’s analytics-ID check. Reuse the project’s established
consent source, and document the retention period for HardwareSnapshot data

is explicitly intended.

In

- Around line 38-50: Serialize performance-mode operations per LocalVideoTrack
so degradeVideoTrack and restoreVideoTrack cannot overlap. Update the
controller’s disable and applyDegradation flows to enqueue the complete
per-track operation, including parameter snapshot handling and setParameters,
while preserving the existing error reporting and final video state.

In `@src/frontend/src/features/performance/degradation.ts`:
- Around line 101-125: Update restoreVideoTrack so
savedEncodingsByTrack.delete(track) occurs only after
sender.setParameters(params) succeeds. Preserve the snapshot when the sender is
unavailable, encoding counts differ, or setParameters rejects, allowing a later
restore attempt to retry.
- Around line 50-55: Update the encoding state mapping around
params.encodings.map to save each encoding’s maxFrameRate alongside the existing
fields, then restore that saved value where the encoding parameters are
reapplied instead of always assigning undefined. Preserve LiveKit’s existing
fallback when maxFrameRate was originally present.

In `@src/frontend/src/features/settings/components/tabs/VideoTab.tsx`:
- Around line 212-218: Update the resolution selection around
handleVideoResolutionChange so performance mode uses the lower of
videoPublishResolution and h360, never upgrading an h180 preference. Reuse this
same effective resolution in the local-track degradation path, while preserving
the existing behavior when performance mode is disabled.

Serialize sender updates per LocalVideoTrack.

degradeVideoTrack and restoreVideoTrack can run concurrently. A pending degradation can overwrite completed restoration parameters and leave video degraded. Queue the complete operation per track, including snapshot handling and setParameters.

🌐 Web query:

Firefox RTCRtpEncodingParameters maxFrameRate legacy property LiveKit

💡 Result:

There is no "legacy property" for maxFramerate in Firefox's RTCRtpEncodingParameters. Instead, maxFramerate is the standard WebRTC API property [1][2][3], which Firefox implemented in version 101 [1][4]. The confusion regarding a "legacy" property or implementation issues often stems from specific behaviors and limitations in Firefox's implementation: 1. Implementation Status: Firefox added support for RTCRtpEncodingParameters.maxFramerate in version 101 [1][4]. Before this, the property was not functional, and even after implementation, it remains subject to specific constraints due to the underlying libwebrtc library [1][5]. 2. The "Zero" Value Issue: According to the WebRTC specification, a maxFramerate value of 0 should effectively stop the video or be treated as a valid constraint [1]. However, in Firefox, setting maxFramerate to 0 may cause issues because the upstream libwebrtc library can crash if a zero value is passed [1][5]. Consequently, Firefox treats 0 as "no limit" on the frame rate [1][5]. 3. LiveKit Integration: LiveKit's client SDKs have encountered these Firefox-specific behaviors. Developers working with LiveKit (or similar WebRTC frameworks) must ensure they do not pass undefined or invalid values, as Firefox can throw errors if maxFramerate is improperly defined [6]. LiveKit source code demonstrates workarounds where maxFramerate is only set if defined [6], and in some contexts, specific sentinel values are used to handle Firefox's limitations regarding encoding layers [7]. In summary, maxFramerate is a standard, modern WebRTC property. If you are experiencing issues in Firefox, it is likely due to the browser's specific handling of zero values or strict requirements for defined values in setParameters() [1][6], rather than the use of a legacy property.

Preserve LiveKit’s maxFrameRate fallback.

When an encoding already has maxFrameRate, save it with the other encoding fields at lines 50-55. Restore the saved value at lines 120-121 instead of always setting it to undefined.

Delete the snapshot only after restoration succeeds.

If sender is unavailable, the encoding count changes, or sender.setParameters() rejects the update, retain savedEncodingsByTrack. Delete it only after setParameters() resolves so a later restore can retry.

Do not increase a lower publish resolution.

Line 213 replaces an h180 preference with h360 when performance mode starts. This can increase camera CPU and network use on the devices that performance mode must protect.

Set the performance-mode resolution to the lower of videoPublishResolution and h360. Apply the same effective resolution in the local-track degradation path.
