Repository lacked architectural documentation for onboarding and maintenance planning.

Changes

  • Added REPOSITORY_OVERVIEW.md - 350-line technical overview covering:
    • Architecture diagram showing GStreamer → rialto-gstreamer → Rialto SDK → hardware stack
    • 7 crucial areas prioritized by criticality (sink elements, client management, buffer parsing, playback delegates, DRM/EME, utilities, plugin registration)
    • Risk assessment (thread safety, state machines, buffer lifetime, DRM security)
    • Build system, test infrastructure, and CI/CD workflows
    • Integration points and development priorities

Key Insights Documented

Critical Areas:

  • GStreamer sink implementations (public API surface)
  • MSE/WebAudio client management (core business logic, threading)
  • Buffer parsers (codec-specific, DRM metadata extraction)
  • DRM/EME handling (security-sensitive)

Risk Zones:

  • Thread synchronization across GStreamer/Rialto/OCDM boundaries
  • State machine transitions in GStreamerMSEMediaPlayerClient
  • Reference counting at GStreamer/C++ smart pointer boundary

Document serves as technical map for code reviews, incident response, and architectural decisions.
