What
SlotBook::claim picked the lowest free slot of the Windows shared-texture ring. The slot Chromium had just released was therefore rewritten first, while its GPU could still be copying it into the canvas. In steady state the ring ping-ponged between slots 0 and 1, reusing a slot ~50 ms after publish — the "one frame from ~50 ms earlier" in the report.

Now the search for a free slot starts after the last claimed one (round-robin). With 8 slots at 60 fps a slot is rewritten ~130 ms after publish instead of ~50 ms. The 40 ms release delay (c5d3dcd) stays as a floor. No VRAM or latency cost.

Tests

• New a_released_slot_waits_its_turn_while_others_are_free: fails on the old code (left: Some(1), right: Some(3)), passes now.
• cargo test -p openscreen-compositor --lib shared_frames: 7/7 on Windows.
• No TS/JS change.

Still to do
Before/after measurement of the preview on Windows at 60 Hz (playback with zoom + webcam, count backward frames). Not done yet.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved frame selection during rendering. Free slots are checked in sequence, and slots that are still in use are skipped. If no free slot is available, a ready frame’s slot can be reused; if all slots are held and none is ready, the system reports that no slot is available.

📝 Walkthrough

SlotBook now searches for free slots in ring order, starting from a tracked index. When no free slot exists, it reuses a ready slot or returns None. A test checks that the search advances past a released slot.

Changes: Slot claims

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Ring-order slot selection and test crates/compositor/src/shared_frames.rs	SlotBook searches from its next index and advances that index after selecting a slot. If no free slot exists, it reuses a ready slot or returns None. A test checks that a released slot is skipped while later slots remain available.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f34e7

Preview slot reuse can be less evenly spaced when textures are released out of order. This is a bounded risk, but the release-order case should be covered before relying on the new rotation behavior.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the bug, implementation, expected effect, related issue, and tests. However, it does not follow the repository template because it omits the Summary, Type of change, Release impact, Desktop impact, and Screenshots / video sections, and it uses a nonstandard Tests heading.

Resolution

Add the missing template sections. Select the applicable Type of change, Release impact, and Desktop impact options. Add screenshots or video, or state why they are not applicable. Rename Tests to Testing and document the pending Windows 60 Hz measurement explicitly there or under a separate follow-up section. Keep Refs #1301 if this PR does not fully resolve the issue, or replace it with an appropriate closing reference if it does fully resolve the issue.

- Around line 77-81: Update SlotBook::claim to select the oldest released slot
rather than relying on ring position when release callbacks arrive out of order;
preserve the existing held-slot and ready-slot exclusions. Add a regression test
that releases generations out of order and verifies the older released slot is
claimed first.

Before/after on Windows at 60 Hz: the step back did not reproduce in either build. So this neither confirms nor rules out the fix. No regression either.

Method

• RTX 4070 Ti, 1920×1080 switched to 60 Hz. The same unpackaged app runs with only the compositor addon swapped: shared_frames.rs from 58cee52 (the PR base) vs f34e7b4. Both built locally in release.
• Same take as the rc.5 pass: webcam PiP, 2D zoom, 3D orbit zoom, shader effect. Every screen frame is a solid colour that encodes its index. 19 s of playback per session, preview filmed with ddagrab, sessions interleaved.
• A step back is a return to an earlier index. Detector check: 28 injected, 28 found; 0 on the clean source.

Build	Sessions on shared textures	Steps back	Preview updates/s (median)
Before	4	0, 0, 0, 0	57.3 (51–60)
After	4	0, 0, 0, 0	52.9 (49–57)

• The update-rate gap is within the session-level slow/fast modes the perf bench already shows.
• Pre-existing, not from this PR: some sessions in both builds fall back to readback early on (GPU did not finish copying the frame in 500ms). That was 2 of 6 before and 2 of 7 after. Those sessions are excluded. They show 0 steps back as well.
• Not covered: a real webcam and a real screen recording (the footage is synthetic), and a packaged build.

Captures, per-session JSON and scripts are kept locally (.claude/scratch/measure-1373/).
