- Authentication — generating tokens, token source types (initial connect only), and in-session token refresh.
- Logging — compile-time vs runtime filtering, log levels,
custom sinks (file, JSON, ROS2
RCLCPP_*macros). - Tracing — Chromium-format performance traces, viewing in
chrome://tracingand Perfetto. - Testing — unit, integration, and stress test suites; env
vars; token-helper script for local
livekit-server --devruns. - Developer tools —
clang-tidy,clang-format,valgrind, Doxygen, pre-commit hook, Rust submodule recovery tips.
