Problem

The JS side of #4351 and #4378. Producer.close() in @moq/net:

  • Pinned an ended track's groups. It cleared the prune timer, and #wake refused to re-arm once closed. Each subscriber's close handler also detached its mirrors from the cache. So after a track ended, nothing ever reclaimed the groups a stale subscriber had buffered, or the producer's own cache.
  • Handed out open groups on abort. A subscriber that had not taken an unfinished group yet still received it, only to fail reading it.
  • Reported an abort after a settled end as an error. If the declared end (finishAt) was reached and every group below it finished, Rust ends cleanly (fix(net): end a track with its session's error when the session dies #4120, fix(net): keep a settled track's groups when it is aborted #4351); JS threw the abort.

Approach

All in js/net/src/track.ts, Producer:

  • close() keeps pruning: it calls #prune() instead of clearing the timer, and #wake arms after a close too. Once the cache empties, no timer is left. After a close no group is open, so the live-edge exemption no longer applies and everything ages out after the track's maxAge.
  • A subscriber closed by the producer keeps its mirrors tracked, so eviction still reaches what it buffers. A subscriber that leaves on its own detaches as before.
  • On an abort, the groups still open are unlinked from the cache and every subscriber's queue without eviction, like Rust drop_open_groups. Subscribers that have not taken one get the finished groups, then the abort; a reader already holding one keeps its buffered frames and sees the abort. Eviction stays for maxAge pruning and writeGroup's aborted-duplicate replace.
  • #settled() mirrors Rust's is_settled: an abort after the declared end settled closes cleanly. It counts the groups and datagrams this producer received (#received, like Rust max_sequence), not the sequence counter sibling producers share.

Tests

Each fails without its fix:

  • an abort keeps finished groups for a slow reader, then reports it (arrival and ordered cursors)
  • an abort after the declared end settles ends clean
  • an ended track's buffered groups age out for a stale subscriber (clean close and abort; mocked clock and timers)
  • an abort leaves a group already taken readable, then reports the abort (arrival and ordered)
  • a sibling producer's groups do not settle an aborted end (broadcast.test.ts)
  • an abort after the declared end reached by a datagram ends clean

bun test in @moq/net: 973 pass. just check passes.

Impact

  • Public API: none.
  • Behavior (JS): an ended track's groups age out after maxAge instead of staying as long as a subscriber holds them. An abort no longer hands out open groups. An abort after a settled end is a clean close, so closed resolves null.
  • Wire: none.

Refs #4351, #4378.

(Written by Claude Opus 5.5)

Producer.close stopped the prune timer and each sink detached its
mirrors from the cache, so after a track ended nothing ever reclaimed
the groups a stale subscriber had buffered. Keep pruning until the cache
empties and keep the producer-closed sinks' mirrors tracked.

Match moq-net: an abort drops the open groups nobody will finish rather
than handing them out, and an abort after the declared end settled is a
clean close.

Walkthrough

Producer close handling now distinguishes an abort before the declared end from an abort after all declared groups have arrived and completed. Track cleanup updates cache and mirror removal, and prune timers can remain active after closure. New tests cover buffered reads, abort reporting, clean completion, and pruning for closed tracks.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 017c8

Some tracks can report the wrong outcome when a producer closes with an error. Correct datagram tracking and preserve incomplete-group status before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 017c8

An incomplete track can appear to finish successfully if an unfinished group ages out before a later abort. The effect is limited to affected tracks, but it can hide a stream failure from subscribers.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: An unfinished group evicted before abort is absent from the new settlement check, allowing the abort to be reported as a clean track end to subscribers that have not taken that group.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Exposure is through tracks handled for subscriptions and their downstream readers. The available evidence does not establish a tenant-wide or credential-level effect.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If an unfinished group expires after a later completed group advances the received watermark, a subsequent abort can be hidden from a subscriber that has not taken the expired group. An already-held group retains its eviction error, limiting this claim to other readers' terminal result.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Final boundaries are validated before declaration, and cache eviction remains private to the producer. Neither control records an unfinished group after its cache entry is removed for the later settlement decision.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Keeping mirrors tracked after producer closure lets cache eviction release stale buffered content; groups already handed to readers retain their terminal behavior.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep settlement evidence independent of cache retention, so eviction of an unfinished group cannot later turn an abort into a clean end.

P1 Badge Preserve groups already handed out before an abort

When a subscriber has already received an open group before close(error), this calls #drop, whose #evict path invokes hooks.evictGroup on every mirror, including the handed-out one. group.ts then clears its unread frames and installs TooFarBehind, so the consumer loses buffered data and observes the wrong error instead of retaining its independent group handle and eventually seeing the track abort. Only mirrors still queued in sink.groups should be evicted; handed-out mirrors should be detached from the cache after the source propagates the abort.

Fixed in d095879. On abort, open groups are now only unlinked from the cache and each sink (#unlink + #uncache), with no hooks.evictGroup. A reader already holding one keeps its buffered frames and sees the abort, matching Rust drop_open_groups. #evict stays for maxAge pruning and the aborted-duplicate replace in writeGroup. Regression test: an abort leaves a group already taken readable, then reports the abort (arrival and ordered).

P1 Badge Mock the prune clock instead of sleeping

This test waits on real time twice, adding roughly 400 ms to every run and making its outcome dependent on event-loop scheduling under loaded CI. Use Bun's fake timers and advance past maxAge so the prune wakeup is deterministic, as repository tests are required to mock time rather than sleep.

Fixed in d095879. The age-out test now mocks performance.now (existing mockMonotonicTime) and stubs setTimeout/clearTimeout, then fires only the wakeups still armed after advancing past maxAge. No real sleep; still fails on main, where close() cancels the wakeup.

ITERATE

Solid direction — this is the right JS counterpart to #4351/#4378 — but abort’s open-group teardown reuses cache-eviction machinery in a way that diverges from Rust and from prior JS abort behavior for an already-pulled open group.

What looks good

  • Age-out after end: Dropping the #wake closed-gate, calling #prune() from close(), and keeping producer-closed sinks’ mirrors tracked fixes the real pin: ended tracks stopped pruning, and close-handlers detached mirrors so eviction could not reach buffered groups. After close every group is closed, so #liveEdge() no longer exempts the newest; maxAge can reclaim. The stale-subscriber test targets that path.
  • Settled abort → clean close: #settled() matches the Rust shape (end reached + every cached group below it finished). Converting the abort before closeTrackState means subscribers see null / undefined, which the new test checks on both cursors.
  • Don’t hand out open groups: Filtering open entries and removing them from sink.groups before readers drain is the right idea; the slow-reader test covers arrival + ordered.
  • Complexity: Small, localized (#drop helper, #settled, close-handler early-return with #used moved above it). Worth it for the leak + semantic alignment.
  • Tests: The three new cases fail-on-main claims are plausible from the old close() (timer cleared, no open drop, no settled rule).

Issue: #drop → #evict on abort open groups

On abort, close() does:

  1. group.close(abort) on every cached group (tees abort into mirrors, including ones already returned from recvGroup / nextGroup)
  2. #drop(entry) → #evict → hooks.evictGroup(mirror) → GroupConsumer.#evict()

#evict() is retention semantics: if the mirror still has frames it sets #terminal / #verdict to TooFarBehind and clears the frames. CombinedClosed prefers that verdict over the teed abort. So a subscriber that already holds an open group can lose buffered frames and see TooFarBehind instead of the track abort.

Rust #4378’s drop_open_groups only retains finished slots in the lookup — a consumer that already pulled an open group keeps its handle; frames are not wiped and the error is not replaced by eviction. Pre-PR JS also only teed group.close(abort) and did not run #evict on those mirrors.

The new tests never pull the open group before close(boom), so they miss this. #drop is fine for writeGroup’s aborted-duplicate replace; it is the wrong tool for abort’s “don’t hand out unfinished groups.”

Suggested fix: On abort, remove open entries from #cache / #cached and splice their mirrors out of each sink’s groups / timeline only. Do not call hooks.evictGroup / frame wipe on those mirrors — the source abort tee already ends them for holders. Keep #evict for real maxAge pruning. Add a test: subscribe, recvGroup/nextGroup the still-open group, write a frame, close(boom), assert the holder can read the buffered frame (or at least sees boom, not TooFarBehind).

Smaller notes (non-blocking)

  • Age-out test uses real setTimeout(200) vs maxAge: 30; margin is fine and matches other timing tests, but it is the flakiest of the three.
  • CI was still pending at review time; worth confirming Check/Test green before merge.
  • Optional: late subscribe to an already-closed track also relies on post-close pruning (mirrors are added without a close-handler); a quick test would lock that in.

Once abort drops open groups without eviction-wipe, this looks mergeable.

P1 Badge Base settlement on this producer's progress

Concurrent dynamic producers explicitly share #sequence (js/net/src/broadcast.test.ts:91-103), so another producer can advance next to this producer's declared final boundary. If producer A calls finishAt(3), producer B writes sequences 0 through 2, and A then aborts without receiving them, this check treats A as settled because its empty cache also passes every; A's subscriber consequently observes a clean end instead of the abort and silently loses the promised groups. Track the highest sequence received by this producer rather than using the broadcast-wide append counter. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Agreed, fixed in the latest push. #settled() now compares the declared end against #received (one past the highest group this producer published, set in #publish), not the shared TrackSequence counter that sibling producers and datagrams advance. Matches Rust max_sequence. Regression test: a sibling producer's groups do not settle an aborted end in broadcast.test.ts.

Sibling producers of a track and datagrams share the sequence counter,
so it can reach the declared end without this producer holding those
groups. Track this producer's own highest group, like Rust max_sequence.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve unfinished-group status after cache eviction.

If a group below final closes with an error or ages out while unfinished, #prune() can remove it before close(error). #received still reaches final, and #cache.every(...) then accepts the remaining clean groups—or an empty cache—as settled. The abort is incorrectly reported as a clean close. Keep the unresolved group status until a clean replacement arrives, even after the cache entry ages out.

Merge pass summary:

  • Abort keeps taken groups (Codex P1 + Grok ITERATE): open groups are unlinked from the cache and sink queues without hooks.evictGroup, so a reader already holding one keeps its frames and sees the track abort, not TooFarBehind. Matches Rust drop_open_groups.
  • Mocked prune clock (Codex P1): the age-out test stubs performance.now and the timers instead of sleeping.
  • Settlement per producer (Codex P1 on d095879): #settled() uses the groups this producer received, not the shared sequence counter, like Rust max_sequence.

Each has a regression test that fails without the fix. CI green on 017c896. Not enabling auto-merge yet: the Codex review of 017c896 reports Failed, so the final head has no Codex review.

P1 Badge Count this producer's datagrams toward settlement

When this producer reaches its declared boundary using appendDatagram or insertDatagram, #received remains zero because only #publish updates it, so close(error) reports an abort instead of the clean settled end. For example, appending datagram 0, calling finishAt(1), and then aborting disagrees with Rust, whose per-track max_sequence is advanced by both datagram methods. Fresh evidence beyond the earlier sibling-producer case is the datagram updates in rs/moq-net/src/model/track.rs, so track this producer's own datagram progress as well. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)
