Video: 64KB chunks of H.264/H.265/AV1 Annex B byte stream over the unidirectional stream.
`start` also accepts optional `codec` and `bitrate`.

**Media over QUIC (MoQ)**: `https://<server>:52020/moq` — separate WebTransport session using `@moq/lite`.
- gomoqt `WebTransportHandler` with `UpgradeFunc` wrapping via `okdaichi/webtransport-go`
- `PublishFunc("/video", ...)` registers each subscriber's `TrackWriter`
- Each ffmpeg chunk → one MoQ group → one frame
- Old uni-stream model kept for backwards compat; MoQ runs alongside it.
- gomoqt v0.15.0, falls back to IETF/moql mode (no ALPN h3/moq).
On connect the agent pushes `fingerprint-refresh` (only when it manages its own
cert) followed by an **unsolicited `displays`**, before the client asks for
anything. Clients must tolerate `displays` arriving unprompted.

Unrecognized message types are answered with
`{"type":"error","message":"unknown type: <t>"}`. There is currently no `input`
or `ping` handler.

### Origin checks

WT upgrades accept an empty `Origin`, an `Origin` matching the request `Host`,
and the agent's own `https://<host>:<webPort>`. A viewer served from any other
origin (reverse proxy, separate web deployment) is rejected unless that origin is
passed with `--allow-origin`.

Preserve both certificate fingerprints across reconnects. main.ts only displays the fingerprint-refresh notification, and Transport.connect creates one serverCertificateHashes entry from fingerprintHex. A reconnect using the saved fingerprint therefore sends only the old hash and may fail against the rotated certificate. Implement dual-hash caching and transmission, or update the documentation and recovery flow.

In `@AGENTS.md` at line 146, Update the fingerprint refresh and reconnect flow
involving main.ts and Transport.connect so both the previous and rotated
certificate fingerprints are cached and included in serverCertificateHashes on
the next connection, rather than sending only fingerprintHex; preserve both
hashes across reconnects.


## MoQ integration
**Caveat:** the rotation broadcast only reaches sessions subscribed to a *live*
stream — `broadcastControlMsg` returns early when no stream is active, and
subscribers are only registered when a stream exists at connect time. A
connected-but-idle client is not notified. The connect-time push in
`handleSession` is unconditional.

Resolve the conflicting rotation audience.

Line 62 says rotation notifications reach all connected clients, but this caveat says idle clients are not notified. Update one statement so the fingerprint-refresh contract is unambiguous.

In `@AGENTS.md` around lines 148 - 152, Update the conflicting
rotation-notification statements in AGENTS.md so they describe one consistent
fingerprint-refresh audience, specifically reconciling the “all connected
clients” statement with the caveat about idle clients and the behavior of
broadcastControlMsg and handleSession.


- `/moq` on same UDP port as `/wt` — separate WebTransport session using gomoqt.
- Each MoQ subscriber gets a `*moqt.TrackWriter` via `PublishFunc("/video", ...)`.
- `publishStream` writes each ffmpeg chunk to all `TrackWriter`s (one MoQ group + one frame per chunk).
- On teardown, `moqBroadcastCancel()` unregisters the publish handler.
- Server TLS `NextProtos` stays `["h3"]` — client MoQ WebTransport negotiates `h3`, `@moq/net` falls back to IETF/moql mode.
**With `--cert`/`--key`** there is no cert manager at all: no fingerprint push,
no rotation loop, and no web UI on `:52022`. That is the reverse-proxy /
publicly-trusted-cert mode, where clients connect without
`serverCertificateHashes`.

Make custom-certificate mode compatible with the viewer.

Transport.connect requires a 32-byte fingerprintHex and always sends serverCertificateHashes. Because custom-certificate mode documents omitting this option, the viewer throws before it creates WebTransport. Add an unpinned path for trusted custom certificates, or document and implement the required fingerprint flow.

custom certificates.
