Description

We benchmark teleoperation by replaying a recorded session,
so every run has to start the same way, with nobody in the headset. With
--setup-oob, the service can now take a run from launch to a streaming XR
session with the recording already selected.

  1. Start a run from a chosen client setup and recording. Four
    TELEOP_CLIENT_* variables (IMMERSIVE_MODE, REFERENCE_SPACE,
    REPLAY_PACING, SHOW_RECORDING_CONTROLS) are forwarded to the headset
    URL. TELEOP_OOB_RECORDING selects a recording in the client before
    CONNECT: a host path is pushed to the headset, and latest takes the
    newest one already there.

  2. Connect the headset only after the application is up. Until now,
    service run --setup-oob connected the headset as soon as the service
    started. The application (e.g. Isaac Lab) usually starts later, so the
    headset sat waiting and kept retrying until it appeared. With the new
    --defer-oob-connect flag, the headset waits; call
    GET /api/oob/v1/connect once the application is running to let it
    connect. Without the flag, nothing changes.

  3. Find the teleop page reliably on PICO. On PICO, OOB sometimes looked
    for the teleop page in the wrong browser process, then gave up after
    60 seconds, about half the time. It now checks each process and uses the
    one that has the page.

TELEOP_CLIENT_REFERENCE_SPACE=local TELEOP_CLIENT_REPLAY_PACING=frame \
TELEOP_CLIENT_IMMERSIVE_MODE=vr TELEOP_CLIENT_SHOW_RECORDING_CONTROLS=true \
TELEOP_OOB_RECORDING=latest TELEOP_HEADSET_BROWSER_PACKAGE=com.pico.browser \
python -m isaaccapture.cloudxr.service run --accept-eula --setup-oob --host-client --defer-oob-connect
# once the application has its OpenXR session:
curl -k -H "X-Control-Token: $CONTROL_TOKEN" https://localhost:48322/api/oob/v1/connect

#1318 also touches wss.py; whichever lands second needs a small rebase.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • OOB headset setup can now be deferred until the application is running, then started through an authenticated connection request. Repeating the request is safe.
    • Replay recordings can be selected from the headset or provided from the host computer. Missing recordings or transfer failures are reported.
    • Added options for immersive mode, XR reference space, replay pacing, and recording controls.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the quick start and environment-variable reference with deferred setup and the new client options.

Walkthrough

The CLI adds --defer-oob-connect, which requires --setup-oob. The authenticated /api/oob/v1/connect endpoint sets the event that releases deferred headset setup. Environment settings now configure headset session parameters and recording controls. The ADB flow can select a headset recording or push a host recording to the headset, then pass its path to the page before CONNECT. DevTools discovery now prefers sockets with a teleoperation tab and can rescan while waiting.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Deferred setup can be difficult to start from the documented command, and certain socket or recording conditions can prevent headset connection. These issues have workarounds, but should be fixed before relying on unattended setup.

Explanation

The title "feat(oob): unattended headset setup for replay benchmarks" matches the main change. The PR adds unattended headset setup for replay runs. It does this through the TELEOP_CLIENT_* client settings, recording selection via TELEOP_OOB_RECORDING, and the deferred connect flow (--defer-oob-connect and GET /api/oob/v1/connect). The title is short, specific, and uses a conventional commit prefix. It does not mention the PICO DevTools socket discovery change, but that is a secondary part of the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 70.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 50 functions across 8 files.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The PICO browser runs several WebLayer processes, each with its own
weblayer_devtools_remote_<pid> socket, and the teleop tab can be on any
of them. Discovery took the first, so about half the time the wait
watched a socket the page never appeared on and gave up at the deadline.

When sockets tie on prefix, ask each for a tab with oobEnable= and keep
that one. On a cold start the stale-tab cleanup has just closed those
tabs, so also re-probe every third second while waiting for the page.

A replay benchmark needs every run to start the same way. The headset URL
now carries four more client settings, each from a TELEOP_CLIENT_*
variable: IMMERSIVE_MODE, REFERENCE_SPACE, REPLAY_PACING and
SHOW_RECORDING_CONTROLS. Unset, the URL is unchanged.

TELEOP_OOB_RECORDING selects a recording in the client before CONNECT:
a host path is pushed to the headset, and "latest" takes the newest
*.json in its Download folder. The operator still starts the replay.

Also document TELEOP_HEADSET_BROWSER_PACKAGE, which already exists.

The service already has a defer_oob_connect gate, but only code that
embeds it can use it, so service run --setup-oob connects the headset
at startup. The OpenXR application usually starts after the service, so
the headset meets a runtime with nothing to stream and cycles through
timeouts and retries until the app arrives.

--defer-oob-connect exposes the gate, and GET /api/oob/v1/connect opens
it. The endpoint authenticates like the other hub endpoints, sends no
CORS headers, is idempotent, and answers 409 when the service was not
started deferred. GET because the proxy only parses GET, as for
/api/oob/v1/config. Without the flag nothing changes.

- Line 50: Update the curl example for the out-of-band connect endpoint to
clarify that CONTROL_TOKEN must be set in the caller’s shell before starting the
service, or replaced with the generated token shown in startup output; do not
imply the service exports its generated token to the shell.

Review comments at @src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_adb.py:
- Around line 2353-2359: Move recording resolution in run_oob_connect to before
the tab-discovery deadline is computed, using oob_replay_recording_from_env and
_resolve_recording, and remove the current resolution from the later try block.
This keeps recording resolution outside the discovery timeout and makes invalid
paths fail before browser launch.
- Around line 2112-2120: Update the rescan handling around
_discover_devtools_socket so every truthy rescanned socket is re-forwarded via
_adb_forward_cdp, regardless of whether it equals forwarded_socket. Preserve the
existing exception handling and update forwarded_socket only after a successful
re-forward.

Review comments at @src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/service/__main__.py:
- Around line 291-292: Move the defer_oob_connect and setup_oob combination
check from the run-only path into shared argument validation, and invoke that
validation from both run and _cmd_start before either proceeds. Reject the
invalid combination before start writes the EULA marker or launches the detached
child.

- Pick the recording before the tab-discovery deadline starts, so a slow
  push does not use up the wait and a bad path fails before the browser
  is launched.
- Accept only recordings named like the client's Save
  (isaacteleop-input-recording*.json), for both a host path and latest.
- Re-forward after every rescan: discovery probes by forwarding, so the
  port may not point at the socket it returned.
- Use the <CONTROL_TOKEN> placeholder in the connect example.

A host path is chosen by the user, so any file name is fine there. Only
latest needs the client's Save name, to skip other JSON files in Download.

Each test now covers one behavior with both its outcomes, instead of one
test per outcome.

Summary

Other than the existing findings in previous comments, I found one additional blocker in recording selection. Validation: 168 focused tests passed, 26 CLI tests passed using a source-only package shim, and pre-commit passed; headset hardware was unavailable.

Legend: 🚫 BLOCKER = merge-blocking | 💡 SUGGESTION = meaningful improvement | 🧹 NIT = precise small correction

Severity Finding
🚫 BLOCKER oob_teleop_adb.py:1857 — Confirm recording import before CONNECT. Setting the file input does not confirm that RecorderContext finished reading and validating it. Invalid JSON or an unsupported recording leaves replay unavailable, while automation logs “loaded recording” and proceeds. A scripted CDP reproduction also confirmed that a protocol error from DOM.setFileInputFiles is ignored and CONNECT is clicked. Check CDP errors and wait for explicit client import success, raising OobAdbError on failure or timeout.
💡 SUGGESTION none
🧹 NIT none

Actionables (copy-paste-ready for implementation agents)

Validate these suggestions in context before applying them. Skip anything already addressed, incorrect, or not worth the churn.

  • src/python/isaaccapture/cloudxr/oob_teleop_adb.py:1857 — Reject CDP errors and wait for recording-import success before logging success or clicking CONNECT. Add focused coverage for rejected, invalid, and delayed imports.

✅ Preview deployed: https://NVIDIA.github.io/IsaacCapture/preview/pr-1345/

Built from commit 596c305. It may take a minute for the updated preview to appear.

start only passed the flag on to the detached run, which then refused it,
so the user saw that the service exited and had to read the log to learn
why. Refuse it in start as well, before the EULA marker is written or the
child is spawned.

Signed-off-by: Emily Ma <yuhanm@nvidia.com>
Setting the file input only starts the import, and a CDP error from
DOM.setFileInputFiles was dropped. A bad file then left replay unavailable
while setup logged it as loaded and clicked CONNECT.

Fail on a CDP error, then wait for the client's #loadRecordingStatus to
report success, and raise OobAdbError on its error or after 10 s.
