When a viewer window has no incoming stream, renders animated analog-TV
noise (hash-based, scanlines, phosphor tint) at configurable fps (default
15) with a centred "NO SIGNAL" text overlay.
- xorg: FRAG_NOSIGNAL_SRC shader + xorg_viewer_render_no_signal(v, time, noise_res)
- main: Display_Slot gains no_signal_fps + last_no_signal_t; display_loop_tick
drives no-signal render on idle slots via clock_gettime rate limiting
- protocol: START_DISPLAY extended by 2 bytes — no_signal_fps (0=default 15)
+ reserved; reader is backward-compatible (defaults 0 if length < 18)
- controller_cli: no_signal_fps optional arg on start-display
- docs: protocol.md updated with new field

Protocol:
- Add PROTO_CMD_START_DISPLAY (0x000A) and PROTO_CMD_STOP_DISPLAY (0x000B)
with write/read functions; Proto_Start_Display carries stream_id, window
position/size, scale and anchor; PROTO_DISPLAY_SCALE_*/ANCHOR_* constants
Node display sink:
- Display_Slot struct with wanted_state/current_state (DISP_CLOSED/DISP_OPEN);
handlers set wanted state, display_loop_tick on main thread reconciles
- Up to MAX_DISPLAYS (4) simultaneous viewer windows
- on_frame routes incoming VIDEO_FRAME messages to matching display slot;
transport thread deposits payload, main thread consumes without holding lock
during JPEG decode/upload
- Main thread runs GL event loop when xorg is available; headless fallback
joins reconciler timer thread as before
Xorg multi-window:
- Ref-count glfwInit/glfwTerminate via glfw_acquire/glfw_release so closing
one viewer does not terminate GLFW for remaining windows
- Add glfwMakeContextCurrent before GL calls in push_yuv420, push_bgra,
push_mjpeg and poll so each viewer uses its own GL context correctly
Transport random port:
- Bind port 0 lets the OS assign a free port; getsockname reads it back
into server->bound_port after bind
- Add transport_server_get_port() accessor
- Default tcp_port changed from 8000 to 0 (random); node prints actual
port after server start so it is always visible in output
- Add --port PORT CLI override (before config-file argument)
controller_cli:
- Add start-display and stop-display commands

START_INGEST carries stream_id, format/width/height/fps, dest_host:port,
transport_mode (encapsulated or opaque), and device_path. All format fields
default to 0 (auto-select). STOP_INGEST carries stream_id only.
Both commands set wanted state on the node; reconciliation is asynchronous.
Protocol doc updated with wire schemas for both commands.

- Protocol module: framed binary encoding for control requests/responses
(ENUM_DEVICES, ENUM_CONTROLS, GET/SET_CONTROL, STREAM_OPEN/CLOSE)
- video-node: scans /dev/media* and /dev/video*, serves V4L2 device
topology and controls over TCP; uses UDP discovery for peer announce
- query_cli: auto-discovers a node, queries devices and controls
- protocol_cli: low-level protocol frame decoder for debugging
- dev/web: Express 5 ESM web inspector — live SSE discovery picker,
REST bridge to video-node, controls UI with sliders/selects/checkboxes
- Makefile: sequential module builds before cli/node to fix make -j races
- common.mk: add DEPFLAGS (-MMD -MP) for automatic header dependencies
- All module Makefiles: split compile/link, generate .d dependency files
- discovery: replace 100ms poll loop with pthread_cond_timedwait;
respond to all announcements (not just new peers) for instant re-discovery
- ENUM_DEVICES response: carry device_caps (V4L2_CAP_*) per video node
so clients can distinguish capture nodes from metadata nodes
