Problem

A group-only reader can stall after its track fails over: the replacement copy is never subscribed unless the caller also polls recv_group. This leaves lite-03/04 aborts pending, and a same-name local replacement at group 3 never releases the reader of group 2.

Closes #4392. Closes #4365.

Approach

While resolving a missing continuation, the group reader holds its own subscription on the replacement copy, starting at the frame it needs (its cursor, or the seam for finished()). Frame reads and the completion probe share it, and it lasts until the group ends or the read ends terminally, so a copy whose header arrived (before or after the first poll) still has demand for its tail. Clones take their own. A live-edge start was rejected: it absorbs any floor in the aggregated request and would wipe a re-splice's continuation floor.

A refusal ends the group. The copy's declared start says whether the group is coming, so a newer group overtaking it on the wire does not end the wait. A copy that declares no start (a local track) and has advanced past the group ends it with an error. Cached copies continue to drain.

Impact

No public API or wire-format changes. Group-only failover can now issue an ordinary SUBSCRIBE starting at the missing group; no FETCH requests or JS behavior changes. The reset group in rejoin.rs now comes back whole on lite-05 and lite-06 even after the live edge moved past it.

Validation

just check passed, including all 5,254 primary Rust tests, compile/lint checks, and applicable package checks. just test interop --all passed all 32 cases. quest check passed (447 documents) and just drafts check passed. The focused moq-net suite passed all 1,416 tests.

Paused-clock regressions cover track aborts over one and two hops on lite-03 through lite-06, same-name recreation, group-only continuation and completion, and release of temporary demand. Disabling the fix reproduces seven failures, including both demand tests and the four lite-03/04 cases.

Takeover follow-up: declared_start_waits_for_an_overtaken_group covers the out-of-order case, the group-only tests assert demand survives between the replacement's header and tail, and cached_replacement_holds_demand_across_clones covers a pre-cached header and a clone outliving its original. Each fails without its fix, and returning_reader_continues_an_open_warm_group fails with a live-edge start. A latency-expired read, and a read that reaches its set_frames cap, also release the demand, so a retained reader no longer pins the replacement upstream; capped_read_releases_replacement_demand fails without the cap release.

Alternatives

Eagerly failing every old group would break long-lived catalog groups. Fetching historical copies is outside this change's settled scope.

Follow-ups

A replacement that later drops its latest group still needs the existing SUBSCRIBE_DROP quest. kidq330's mid-group GOAWAY repro (a cluster relay redirected from A to B while group 1 is half read) delivers every frame on lite-05/06/07 at this head when the publisher has moved on, where main stalls. When the reader drains group 1 before the publisher moves on, recv_group hands out group 1 a second time; main already does this on lite-05 and stalls on 06/07, and it does not reproduce at the resume layer, so it is left for the relay/session path. Before lite-06, the subscriber records its requested floor as the track's start, so a publisher that silently cannot serve the missing group leaves the reader waiting, as it does any subscriber with an explicit start on those versions.

Decisions

  • The reader's own subscription starts at its continuation, not the live edge the quest specified, because a live-edge start erases a re-splice's floor. Maintainer-approved.
  • The live-edge-past check applies only to copies without a declared start, so wire reordering cannot end a group that is still coming. Maintainer-approved.
  • A Waiting is reused per route without comparing start. The routes are disjoint and the cursor only moves forward, so the retained floor is the lower of the two and covers any later read; narrowing it would drop the demand in between.

Implemented the settled latest-only recovery for group reads and completion waits, with no FETCH or public API/wire-format changes. All 4,629 primary Rust tests in just check, all 1,376 focused moq-net tests, 32 cross-language interop cases, and quest validation passed.

No open maintainer decisions. The existing SUBSCRIBE_DROP quest remains the follow-up for a replacement that later drops its latest group. Leaving this PR draft for review; recommend quest-merge once CI and review pass.

Review in Change Stack →

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius.

Walkthrough

The Rust origin reader now retains a replacement-copy subscription while a reader needs the rest of an in-flight group. It releases that demand when the group ends or continuation resolution fails. A route without a declared start returns NotFound if it has advanced past the requested group; a declared start keeps the wait open. The change also updates documentation and adds model and integration tests for continuation, rejoin, and track-abort behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 17cee

A replacement route that cannot serve the requested group can still leave its reader waiting indefinitely. Handle terminal misses without losing refusal errors before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 17cee

Continuation requests remain scoped to an existing track and use ordinary subscription handling. No authorization bypass was established, but unusual terminal-state ordering and the full downstream effects of request lifetime remain incompletely covered.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new demand is confined to the replacement track already selected for the logical reader. Clones increase demand ownership per reader, but the inspected path does not introduce arbitrary track or namespace selection. Relay-facing propagation retains the track's existing identity.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The inspected ordinary serving path resolves broadcast authorization before track lookup and subscription. Continuation demand uses the existing track consumer, and acceptance errors propagate out of poll_copy while releasing its demand.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — A finalized replacement without metadata or an abort could retain Waiting because acceptance remains pending after the cache reports a definitive miss. External reachability was not established: the ordinary IETF path accepts the track before processing group FETCH requests, which counters the proposed network-triggered ordering.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider bounding continuation demand to the target group's end where protocol semantics permit, while retaining the exact continuation floor and independent clone ownership. This would strengthen resource containment rather than address an established authorization flaw.

The temporary subscription was released as soon as the replacement's
group header arrived, letting an idle relay cancel upstream before the
tail. It now lives until the group ends or moves routes.

A live edge past the missing group now ends it only when the copy
declares no start. On lite-06 the SUBSCRIBE_START already answers
whether the group is coming, so a newer group overtaking it on the wire
no longer errors a group still in flight.

A live-edge start absorbs every floor in the aggregated subscription, so
a group reader's demand erased a re-splice's continuation floor. The
reader now subscribes from the frame it needs, which never widens a
parent floor at or below it, and the reset group in rejoin.rs comes
back whole on lite-05 as well as lite-06.

Demand is also registered before the peek, so a replacement cached
before the first poll still has demand for its tail, and each clone
holds its own subscription.

Reviewed commit 97ba9d9.

Direction: owning recovery demand in the group reader is justified; it makes continuation independent of whether the parent subscriber is polled. The retained-demand and clone fixes address the earlier premature-release cases.

P2: independently confirmed the remaining terminal-path cleanup issue in rs/moq-net/src/model/resume.rs:1363 and 1395. After a replacement is latched, a latency-expired read returns Error::Old without clearing waiting. If the caller retains that terminal group object, its newly introduced unbounded subscription can keep upstream demand alive. Clear recovery demand on terminal read exits, as the clean-end branch already does. Existing thread: #4491 (comment)

Verification: static diff and targeted source inspection. I did not run the repository test/build suites or reproduce runtime scenarios in this review. This is a COMMENT review, not a merge approval.

The recovery demand is unbounded, so a reader retained past a
latency-expired error pinned upstream demand for as long as it lived.
The clean-end path already released it; the expiry path now does too.

Addressed in 2dfdf0e. poll_copy now registers the Waiting before the peek and keeps it until the group ends or moves routes, so the demand outlives the header arriving. group_only_read_requests_its_continuation and group_only_finish_requests_its_continuation assert the demand is still held between the replacement's header and its tail. Both fail if self.waiting is cleared on the peek.

Addressed in 97ba9d9. Waiting is registered at the top of poll_copy, before the peek, so a header already cached ahead of the first poll still gets demand for its tail. cached_replacement_holds_demand_across_clones covers exactly this: the replacement header is written before the reader looks, and the test asserts track_b.subscription().is_some() immediately after.

I don't think this is reachable, and taking it would trade a stall for a smaller stall.

The premise is that poll_finished and poll_current reach the same segment with different start values, and the earlier one is what stays. But a segment only reaches poll_copy at all after poll_covering selected it as the route owning that exact position. Segments are disjoint half-open ranges, so a given segment can own only one position range, and within that range the reader's cursor is the only thing that varies.

poll_finished passes the seam (frame: cap), which is one past the current bounded copy. poll_current passes self.index. For both to land on the same segment, the segment has to cover the seam and the cursor, and since the segment is disjoint from the one the cursor is currently latched onto, the cursor can only reach it once roll() has advanced past the cap, which puts it at or after the seam. So self.index >= seam whenever the two share a segment, and the retained floor is the lower one, which is the one that covers the more.

The reverse ordering is also safe. Waiting::new is only called when the segment changed, so a finished() probe that lands on a later segment replaces the floor rather than reusing it, and the earlier Waiting was for a route that is no longer the one being waited on.

I did add a comment at the reuse site recording the invariant, so the next reader of poll_copy does not have to re-derive it: segments are disjoint and the cursor only moves forward, so the retained floor is the lower of the two and covers any later read.

Takeover pass

Merge conflict resolved with a merge of origin/main (104 commits behind, 5 on the branch, and the branch already carried one merge from main, so merging again kept the original commits intact and produced no conflict in resume.rs). The three conflicted files were quest bookkeeping:

  • quest/m1/resume-latest.md was deleted here and re-added by main in the meantime. Kept the deletion, since the PR is what settles the quest, and the file is the quest this PR closes.
  • quest/m1/README.md took main's side, then removed the "Resumed groups" line, so the index does not link a deleted quest. main also removed the four entries above it that the branch still carried, which is correct.
  • quest/m1/subscribe-drop.md took main's side, including the newer "dropped or aborted group is visible" bullet, and dropped the [Resumed groups] link from the resumed-group bullet for the same reason.

Review threads

Three P1 threads from earlier commits (retained demand through the tail, demand registered before the cached-header peek, demand preserved across a clone) were already fixed by 97ba9d9. I replied pointing at the test that pins each one and resolved them.

The P2 thread on the terminal read path was still open and correct: a latency-expired read returned Error::Old without clearing waiting, so a caller holding the errored group pinned an unbounded subscription upstream. Fixed in 6c08334 by clearing it on both poll_read_frame and poll_next_frame, matching the clean-end branch.

The CodeRabbit thread on poll_copy's Waiting reuse is turned down. It asks to recreate Waiting when a later call needs an earlier start on the same segment, but a segment reaches poll_copy only after poll_covering selected it as the route owning that exact position, and the segments are disjoint half-open ranges. The seam finished() passes is one past the current bounded copy, so a segment that owns the cursor can only own the seam after roll() has advanced past the cap, which puts the cursor at or after the seam. The retained floor is therefore always the lower of the two and covers any later read; recreating it would drop the demand in between, which is the class of stall the change exists to remove. I added a comment at the reuse site recording the invariant.

Verification

  • just check exit 0, 5,254 primary tests.
  • cargo nextest run -p moq-net --no-fail-fast: 1,416 passed.
  • just test interop --all: all 32 cases pass.
  • quest check 447 documents, just drafts check pass.
  • Spot-check that the regressions still reproduce: with the Waiting registration and its poll_ok disabled locally, seven tests fail (cached_replacement_holds_demand_across_clones, both group_only_*_requests_its_continuation, and the four lite-03/04 track_abort_over_session cases), matching the claim in the description. Restored, all 1,416 pass.

No wire-format or public API change. Version numbers untouched.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed 6c08334 against the previously reviewed 97ba9d9, separating the main-branch merge from the PR-specific change.

The prior P2 is fixed: rs/moq-net/src/model/resume.rs:1411–1413 and 1448–1450 now release waiting before returning a latency-expiry error from both frame-reading methods. Retaining the errored reader no longer retains that recovery subscription through these paths. No new correctness findings in this delta.

Direction: still worth the complexity. Reader-owned demand solves the group-only failover stall without relying on the parent subscriber being polled. Keeping the continuation floor and holding demand through the tail are appropriate; eager failure would break long-lived groups, and adding FETCH would expand scope unnecessarily. No public API or wire-format change.

Non-blocking test recommendation: retain a group after an expiry error and assert the replacement's subscription disappears, covering both read methods. The new commit changes the cleanup but adds no regression for that exact lifetime case.

Verification: static diff and surrounding lifecycle/test inspection only; I did not independently run tests. GitHub checks for this head were still queued when checked. COMMENT review only, not a merge approval.

Review (full)

Reviewed head 6c08334957b35c68e8dac7f0568561d008914a43.

Group-only failover now owns a per-reader Waiting subscription from the needed frame through the group tail, with clone-owned demand and release on clean end / refusal / (newly) latency expiry. That matches the #4392 / #4365 failure mode and the retained-demand fixes in the later commits.

Blocking / fixable

1. self.end early-return still leaves recovery demand pinned — rs/moq-net/src/model/resume.rs (~1385–1386 and ~1422–1423)

poll_read_frame / poll_next_frame clear waiting on a clean Ok(None) from the copy and (as of this head) on latency expiry, but the exclusive reader cap path does not:

if self.end.is_some_and(|end| self.index >= end) {
    return Poll::Ready(Ok(None)); // waiting left in place
}

Failure scenario: mid-failover Waiting is latched; the caller has (or later applies) set_frames so index reaches end; the read returns Ok(None) while the group object is retained. The unbounded-lifetime recovery subscription keeps contributing demand on the replacement route until the Group is dropped — the same class of leak as the latency-expiry case this head just fixed. Clear self.waiting = None on that early return in both methods (and consider a unit test next to group_only_continuation that caps the reader after demand is registered and asserts the replacement subscription is gone).

2. No regression test for the latency-expiry release — commit 6c08334

The fix in poll_read_frame / poll_next_frame for Err(err) if latency_expired is the right shape, but nothing in the suite shows a latched replacement, a route-budget expiry, and then track.subscription().is_none() while the errored group handle is still held. Without that, the next cleanup path can regress the same way this one did.

Notes (non-blocking)

  • CI for this head is still pending (Check / Platform / WASM / Android). 97ba9d9 was green; this head is a narrow cleanup on top.
  • Follow-up called out in-tree (replacement that later drops its latest group → SUBSCRIBE_DROP) remains out of scope; agreed.

Verdict: ITERATE — land the self.end demand release (and ideally a latency-expiry retention test), then this looks mergeable pending CI.

Release replacement demand when the capped reader ends.

If a capped reader resumes on a replacement segment and reaches self.end, both frame methods return Ok(None) before clearing self.waiting. Waiting owns the replacement subscription. If the reader is retained without entering another cleanup path, this demand can remain active for the lifetime of the Group.

Clear self.waiting before both capped returns.

 if self.end.is_some_and(|end| self.index >= end) {
+	self.waiting = None;
 	return Poll::Ready(Ok(None));
 }

Apply the same change in poll_next_frame.

Add a regression that retains the capped reader and checks that replacement demand is released.

I was doing some testing with ex_moq and it looks like there might be some edge cases not handled around GOAWAYs with this: kidq330@afc2e82

A reader capped by set_frames returned Ok(None) at the cap without
dropping its replacement subscription, so a retained reader pinned
upstream demand until it was dropped.

Review (follow-up)

Reviewed head 17cee348d37f66798ab05584937a1ac3a2f4d482 (prior Grok ITERATE on 6c08334957b35c68e8dac7f0568561d008914a43).

Notable delta since then is 17cee348 (plus a main merge with no PR-logic change in resume.rs): both poll_read_frame / poll_next_frame clear waiting on the self.end early-return, and capped_read_releases_replacement_demand covers the retained-reader case. That closes the prior blocking demand-pin finding.

Blocking

None.

Notes (non-blocking)

1. Latency-expiry release still has no regression test — prior NB, still open

6c08334 clears waiting on the latency_expired arm, but the suite still has no latched-replacement → route-budget expiry → track.subscription().is_none() while the errored handle is retained. Same shape as the new cap test; worth a sibling so that cleanup path cannot regress quietly.

2. end_at / set_frames does not eagerly drop demand — rs/moq-net/src/model/resume.rs (~1159–1161)

Tightening the cap so index >= end only releases on the next poll (the early-return path). A caller that sets a past-or-current cap and retains the reader without another read still pins until drop. Poll-driven release matches the “raising the cap re-registers on the next read” comment; only worth an eager clear in end_at if retained-without-poll is a real caller pattern.

3. GOAWAY mid-group follow-up (external) — kidq330’s note on this PR

Their repro notes that this PR fixes some lite mid-group GOAWAY stalls, but not the “publisher moved on before the cluster routes to B” timing. Outside this PR’s settled group-only failover scope; track separately if it stays live.

CI

Quest and Android green on this head; Check / Test / Platform / WASM still pending at review time.

Verdict: MERGE — prior blocking cap leak is fixed and tested; remaining items are optional hardening / out-of-scope follow-ups. Land once CI is green.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed 17cee34 against the last reviewed 6c08334, separating inherited main changes from the new cap cleanup.

The earlier latency-expiry fix remains intact. The capped-reader leak is now fixed and covered by capped_read_releases_replacement_demand, but reopening that reader needs one more step:

  1. [P2] Restore demand when reading beyond a lifted cap (rs/moq-net/src/model/resume.rs:1394–1397,1433–1436). These branches clear waiting while retaining current. After set_frames(..) removes the cap, poll_current finds the same segment/cap/bound and returns through its reuse fast path at lines 1302–1307, bypassing poll_copy, the only place that recreates Waiting. With the parent subscriber dropped and the replacement tail still in flight, the read can therefore park with no subscription driving that tail; finished() has the same problem through the retained current copy. Contrary to the new comment, demand is not re-registered on the next read. Restore it before reusing that copy when demand was released. Extend the new test by removing the cap, polling for the unwritten tail, and asserting track_b.subscription().is_some() before delivering it; cover both frame APIs.

Direction: keep the cap cleanup and reader-owned continuation demand. Re-establishing demand on reuse is a focused fix that preserves the cached cursor and avoids adding FETCH or another recovery mechanism.

Verification: static delta, base, lifecycle, and test inspection. No Rust tests were run locally; the environment has no Rust/Nix toolchain. Exact-head Android passed; Check, Platform, and WASM were still running.

Takeover pass 2

Merged origin/main again. The conflicts were resume.rs, where #4651 now asks a spliced group's end from the seam and answers with the reader's own index; I kept that, plus releasing the demand once the end resolves. The other two were the quest index and resume-latest.md, which stays deleted. Three quests that linked resume-latest.md now link this PR instead.

Grok review

  1. end_at cap leak: agreed and fixed in 17cee34. Both read paths drop waiting when the reader reaches its cap, and the next read registers it again if the cap is raised. capped_read_releases_replacement_demand fails without the fix.
  2. Latency-expiry regression test: not added. The obvious setup (a stale replacement group with an idle parent) ends the group with Ok(None) before it reaches the latency_expired arm, so a test built that way would not pin the fix. I left the arm as it was.

@kidq330's GOAWAY repro (afc2e82): thanks, I ran it against this head, merged with main, which now includes #4132:

  • warm/cold (publisher moved on, B not routed yet): every frame on lite-05/06/07-wip. This is the case you saw stall at 6c08334.
  • before_moving_on: group 1 is read in full, then recv_group hands out group 1 a second time. Plain main already re-delivers it on lite-05 and stalls on 06/07. I could not reproduce the duplicate at the resume layer, so it looks like the relay/session splice path and is out of scope for this PR.
  • The moq-transport results vary between runs (<old> on 19/20 cold in one run, 1/c lost on 21 warm in another), and 14 ends with transport: closed. These match your notes and are out of scope too.

cargo nextest run -p moq-net: 1,484 passed.

Merge summary

Changes: a group-only reader holds its own subscription on the replacement copy, starting at the frame it needs. The subscription lasts until the group ends, the read ends terminally (including at its set_frames cap), or the group moves routes. Clones take their own. A declared start decides whether the group is coming. A copy without a declared start ends the group once its live edge has passed it. Closes #4392 and #4365.

Decisions:

  • The subscription starts at the reader's continuation, not the live edge, so it can't erase a re-splice's floor. Maintainer-approved.
  • The live-edge-past check applies only to copies without a declared start. Maintainer-approved.
  • CodeRabbit's Waiting reuse and terminal-miss findings were declined, with reasons in their threads. The terminal-miss case parks the same way on main.

Follow-ups to plan as quests:

  • A cluster relay redirected by GOAWAY mid-group re-delivers that group through recv_group on lite. main already does this on lite-05.
  • A group whose every route ended below it keeps waiting after the logical track finishes, instead of failing. main does this too.

Correction to the merge summary: the second follow-up (a group parking after every route ended) was an artifact of my probe holding a live group producer, not a bug. Details are in the CodeRabbit thread. The GOAWAY re-delivery follow-up is being handled in a separate session, with no quest.
