Problem

A relay session lives exactly as long as its URL credential. A client cannot present a fresh JWT in band, so a long session must reconnect before exp, and an in-band AUTH stream to the relay grants nothing. The auth::Handle::requests() queue is also unbounded: a peer that opens AUTH streams faster than the relay verifies them grows it without limit.

Approach

  • Relay (rs/moq-relay/src/auth/refresh.rs): native, WebSocket, and io_uring admission take auth::Handle::requests() before starting the protocol driver. Each non-empty token is verified through the same admission path as the URL token (jwt replaced in the original query, connection facts unchanged). Every accepted credential holds its own lease; the session's scope is the union of all live grants, intersected with the SETUP role, re-authorized whenever the union changes. Expiry, refusal on re-check, or withdrawal removes only that credential's grant; the session ends when no credential remains. Origin handles are scoped to the admitted root and role, so a new prefix becomes reachable without rebuilding the session. A token must keep the admitted root, mounts, and routing classification. Certificate sessions and public rules refuse in-band tokens with SessionError::Unsupported (fix(net): send explicit AUTH NOT_SUPPORTED on Lite #5269's AUTH_ERROR NOT_SUPPORTED on both protocols). Renewal swaps only the jwt pair and leaves every other byte of the dialed query as it was. An empty token is answered from the live connection lease. The WebSocket handshake timeout covers the SETUP reply. An auth server that cannot decide (outage or the 10 s admission timeout) refuses the token with INTERNAL_ERROR on Lite instead of UNAUTHORIZED, and a decider still working past the timeout keeps its in-flight slot until it answers. Admission::attached() tells an embedder an in-band token from a new session.
  • moq-auth: Client::attach(&Consumer, Request) verifies another credential for an admitted connection. The attached lease revalidates on its own cadence but never POSTs end; it ends with its connection, and only the connection's own lease reports End, after every attached request has landed. moq auth serve counts each attached JWT against its own --limit-token cap until the session ends. lease::Consumer becomes Clone; dropping the last clone ends the lease, and close ends every clone.
  • moq-net / @moq/net: pending AUTH requests are bounded at 128 queued on both Lite and IETF (withdrawn requests are pruned first), and the relay bounds in-flight verifications at 128. Both overflows refuse the token with TOO_MANY_REQUESTS. Request::closed() / Request.closed lets an acceptor observe withdrawal of an unanswered token.
  • moq-tokio: Connection::auth() returns an Auth handle owned by the connection: add(token) presents a token on the live session and re-presents it on every replacement session until its Token is dropped; grant() watches the live union. A session closing mid-replay does not end a retained token, and a transient refusal (INTERNAL_ERROR, TOO_MANY_REQUESTS, CONTROL_MESSAGE_TIMEOUT) presents the token again on the connection's reconnect backoff; UNAUTHORIZED and NOT_SUPPORTED stay final. server::Request::auth() exposes the handle before ok().
  • Docs: doc/bin/relay/auth.md gains "In-band renewal"; doc/concept/{moq-lite,standard}.md updated.
  • Quests: the relay tokens quest is complete and deleted; its references now point at the landed API, and typed expiry for relay refusals moves into Expired token error.

Impact

  • Public API (Rust): moq_auth::Client::attach (new); moq_auth::lease::Consumer: Clone with close ending every clone (behavior change); moq_net::auth::Request::closed (new); moq_tokio::Connection::auth, moq_tokio::Auth, moq_tokio::connection::auth::{Token, Watch} (new); moq_tokio::server::Request::auth (new); moq_relay::auth::Admission::attached (new).
  • Public API (JS): Request.closed added to @moq/net's auth Request interface.
  • Config: none. The 128 bounds are constants.
  • Wire: no new messages or codes, and no draft change. An auth-server outage during in-band verification is refused with the existing INTERNAL_ERROR on Lite (still UNAUTHORIZED on IETF). The relay now answers in-band AUTH with real grants instead of refusing them. A token past the pending bound is refused with AUTH_ERROR TOO_MANY_REQUESTS on Lite (IETF's AUTH_ERROR registry carries it as UNAUTHORIZED); the queued overflow was previously an UNAUTHORIZED "unanswered".
  • Auth server contract: the server sees another connect with the same session id for each in-band token. Attached grants never send end, and stop revalidating before the connection's end. moq auth serve counts an attached JWT against its own --limit-token cap.

Decisions

Settled by the maintainer (✅ marks the selected option); 6 was picked by the iterating agent, and 8 and 9 were decided on 2026-10-13.

  1. Persistent client API

  2. Admission ownership in moq-auth

    • ✅ Client::attach(&lease::Consumer, Request) with a cloneable Consumer whose close ends all clones; identity checks reject another client, a non-owning lease, or changed connection facts.
    • A separate public connection-admission handle returned by connect that owns End and mints credential leases.
  3. Pending AUTH work bound

    • ✅ Fixed 128 queued plus 128 in-flight relay verifications per session, as a memory bound against a hostile peer, not an input cap.
    • Configurable relay limit.
    • Backpressure instead of refusal; needs a dispatcher change since AUTH shares stream credit with everything else.
  4. Distinct Expired / Timeout refusals

    • ✅ Coarse mapping here (refusals UNAUTHORIZED, reason phrase says why); typed expiry stays with Expired token error, which now also owns switching the relay. Partly revisited by 8: an auth server that could not decide is refused as transient (INTERNAL_ERROR on Lite), not UNAUTHORIZED.
    • Add a typed AUTH error API in this PR.
  5. Stats tier across credentials

    • ✅ The connection's original credential owns the tier; attached credentials contribute permissions only.
    • A deterministic policy across all live credentials (e.g. highest tier wins).
  6. Overflow refusal code (picked by the iterating agent as the recommended option)

    • ✅ Both overflows refuse with TOO_MANY_REQUESTS: it is one condition (the peer outran the verifier), and a presenter can tell it from a bad token and retry once its pending tokens settle.
    • Queued overflow stays UNAUTHORIZED ("unanswered"); only the relay's in-flight overflow uses TOO_MANY_REQUESTS.
  7. Unsupported-token signalling vs fix(net): send explicit AUTH NOT_SUPPORTED on Lite #5269

  8. Auth-server outage during renewal (CodeRabbit, mriise): Unavailable and the 10 s admit timeout are refused as UNAUTHORIZED "token refused", and moq_tokio::connection::Auth treats any refusal as final, so one outage drops a retained token.

    • ✅ Fix here: refuse Unavailable with a transient code on Lite (the existing INTERNAL_ERROR, so no new wire value; IETF still collapses to UNAUTHORIZED), and have the retained token retry transient refusals on moq-tokio's reconnect backoff, never extending an accepted grant's expiry. This partly revisits decision 4.
    • Keep decision 4 as is and move outage classification plus client retry into Expired token error.
  9. Embedders and in-band attachment (mriise): Auth::embedded accepts in-band tokens, but an embedder cannot tell an attachment from a new session, and ADMIT_TIMEOUT frees the in-flight slot while the embedder's decider keeps running.

    • ✅ Expose attachment on Admission (Admission::attached()), keeping embedders opted in, and hold the in-flight slot until the decider answers rather than freeing it at the timeout.
    • Refuse in-band tokens for embedders as unsupported until they opt in through a new builder.

Validation

  • just check passes, and CI is green after merging fix(interop): give the Rust interop clients the repo rustfmt config #5381.
  • Codex findings on 0891041 (raw query bytes, public-rule tokens as unsupported) are fixed with regression tests.
  • Review findings on a93d325..5d5a0df are fixed with regression tests where practical (attached lease ends with its connection, attached JWT cap, replay across a closed session, empty query segments).
  • Review findings on a6ffc5c (Codex, OpenAI) are fixed with regression tests: an empty token is refused once the connection's own credential revalidates to a grant the session cannot use, and an attached lease withdrawn or expired mid-Revalidate lands it before the connection's End. Codex's follow-up on f0ab7e3 (validate the exact grant snapshot that is issued) is fixed without a test, since the race needs a revalidation between two adjacent reads.
  • Decisions 8 and 9 have mock-time tests: an outage refused as INTERNAL_ERROR while the session still closes at its only grant's expiry, a retained token presented again after 1 s and 2 s of backoff, UNAUTHORIZED staying final, Admission::attached() on both paths, and a decider past the admission timeout keeping its slot until it drops the admission.
  • just test interop --all passes on the merged head, including the denied-token matrix and finite track tails.
  • New tests: relay renewal outliving the first credential, refused/different-root tokens leaving the grant unchanged, union widening and withdrawal without widening the SETUP role, pending verification slots held across withdrawal (overflow refused with TOO_MANY_REQUESTS), certificate sessions refusing tokens as unsupported; moq-auth attach never reporting End, End waiting for an in-flight attach, attach identity checks; moq-net/JS pending bounds and their overflow code; moq-tokio token surviving session replacement; an end-to-end TCP and WebSocket relay test where a token widens a live prefix and withdrawal resets only its streams.
  • Benchmarks: rs/moq-net/benches/auth.rs and rs/moq-relay/benches/auth.rs (just rs bench-relay-auth), smoke-run nightly.

Adopt #5269's NOT_SUPPORTED: the relay refuses unverifiable in-band tokens
with SessionError::Unsupported, and the draft and Lite reset shims are dropped.
Both pending-AUTH overflows now refuse with TOO_MANY_REQUESTS. The relay
tokens quest is complete, so it is deleted and its references updated.

Walkthrough

The change adds bounded pending-auth queues and withdrawal tracking in Rust and JavaScript. The relay can verify additional credentials for an admitted session, combine their grants, and remove grants independently. New client APIs attach credentials to existing connections and present them across reconnects. The change also adds tests, documentation, and auth benchmarks.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6b505

The renewal feature looks ready to merge. One documentation fix remains: the page should say that outage retries apply only on moq-lite. On moq-transport, the refusal ends the token, and operators reading the current text could expect otherwise.

P2 Badge Preserve untouched query bytes during renewal

When the original query contains noncanonical but valid syntax such as flag, lowercase percent escapes, or an encoded value whose raw spelling matters, parsing and serializing every pair changes fields other than jwt (flag becomes flag=, escapes are normalized, and malformed UTF-8 may be replaced). The auth contract exposes the query exactly as dialed so custom auth servers can interpret or authenticate its raw form; an in-band renewal can therefore be refused even though only its credential was meant to change. Replace the jwt pair without decoding and re-encoding the remaining query.

P2 Badge Return Unsupported for public-rule sessions

For a relay configured with --auth-public, Auth::admit still installs a Source, so this check does not identify the session as unable to verify in-band tokens. The request instead reaches Decider::Public, is returned as Refused, and is ultimately sent to the presenter as Unauthorized; clients consequently treat an unsupported feature as a bad credential, contrary to the documented public-rule behavior. Carry whether the admission source can verify attachments and reject public-rule tokens here with SessionError::Unsupported.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: a93d325.

The independent-credential/centralized-union design is a reasonable direction, but three lifecycle/accounting issues remain below. Preserve that design while making connection termination, replay, and per-token accounting explicit.

The earlier public-rule Unsupported finding is fixed. The raw-query finding is improved for nonempty fields, but refresh.rs:286 still strips empty components: flag&&jwt=old& becomes flag&jwt=new. For raw-query-sensitive deciders, preserve these separators too and add that regression case.

Verification: static GitHub review of the full PR, followed by the one-commit update against the unchanged base. No builds or tests run.

[P2] Count newly attached JWTs against the per-token session cap

This sends Connect with a new JWT but the existing session ID. moq-auth/src/serve.rs:279–283 immediately accepts known IDs, without checking/counting the replacement JWT. With --limit-token=1, establish two sessions using distinct valid JWTs A/C with matching roots, then attach B to both: both succeed, and the stored slots still count only A/C. Account for each credential associated with a session and enforce its cap on first attachment, while retaining one remote/session slot and one End. Add a two-session attachment regression test.

Fixed in 84aeab6: moq auth serve keeps every JWT presented for a session id, so an attached JWT new to a session counts against its own --limit-token cap until that session ends, without taking another remote slot (attached_tokens_count_against_their_own_cap).

[P2] Terminate attached leases when the connection owner closes

Only the shared lifecycle is ended here; attached drivers watch their own Producer and never observe this termination. Retain an attached Consumer, close the owner, wait for End, then call attached.revalidate(): it still sends Revalidate and attached.closed() remains pending. The server's revalidation path recreates the removed session-limit slot, so an ended connection can remain counted. Have attached drivers observe connection termination and stop/drain their requests before the owner's End; cover a retained attachment in the close test.

Related ordering gap: end waits on in-flight attach connects via admitting, but not on an attached lease's in-flight revalidate, so the server can see revalidate after end for the same id. Draining attached drivers before End, as suggested above, should cover both.

Fixed in 84aeab6: an attached driver now holds the connection's admission guard for its lifetime, stops when the connection ends, and awaits any in-flight Revalidate first, so End is the last request for the id (an_attached_lease_ends_with_its_connection). This also covers the revalidate-after-end ordering noted in the reply.

[P2] Keep retained tokens across transport failure during replay

handle.add() also returns session-close errors. If a replacement transport closes before its replayed AUTH is answered and before the separate reconnect task clears State, token? permanently exits present, ending the retained token and preventing replay on later sessions. The biased next branch only helps when State was updated first. Treat session closure during this pending phase like the established-token loop does, while keeping actual credential refusals terminal. Extend the replacement test with an unanswered AUTH, close that session, then verify replay on a third session.

Fixed in 84aeab6 for both the pending add and the established watch.changed() arm: an error while the session has closed waits for the next session instead of ending the token; other refusals stay terminal (a_session_closing_mid_replay_keeps_the_token, which fails without the fix).

State when the relay verifies in-band tokens.

The new sentence says the relay verifies these tokens through its auth server. That holds only with --auth-url. Sessions under public rules and certificate sessions refuse in-band tokens as unsupported. The rule for doc/ requires each claim to carry its conditions. Add the qualifier, for example: "A relay configured with an auth server verifies these tokens through it…".

As per coding guidelines: "State a claim's conditions with it: opt-in or experimental versions, and the paths it does not cover."

Review comments at @doc/concept/moq-lite.md:
- Around line 171-173: Qualify the relay-verification claim in the in-band
renewal description: state that tokens are verified through an auth server only
when the relay is configured with one, and clarify that public-rule and

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not report an auth-server outage as a token refusal.

auth.decide returns super::Error::Unavailable when the auth server times out, cannot be reached, or answers 5xx. The Err(_) arm rejects every error with SessionError::Unauthorized and the reason "token refused". A renewing client cannot tell an outage from a bad credential. moq_tokio::connection::Auth::add also ends the token permanently when it is refused. At connect, the relay separates these cases on purpose: Unavailable maps to BAD_GATEWAY. Do the same here: map Unavailable to a non-auth code, so a moq-lite client can retry. On moq-transport, to_code still collapses the code to UNAUTHORIZED, but the reason text will be correct.

Same for the 10 s ADMIT_TIMEOUT, which decide maps to Unavailable. It is worse in combination with moq_tokio::connection::Auth: present() treats any refusal as final, so a single outage during renewal permanently kills the retained token and the session closes at the original expiry.

@mriise Yes. My proposed change fixes error classification, but it does not fix recovery. The 10 s ADMIT_TIMEOUT also maps to Unavailable. If present() treats every refusal as final, a non-auth error code alone will not preserve the retained token.

The fix needs both parts:

  • Report Unavailable as a transient server failure, not "token refused".
  • Preserve the retained token and retry transient failures with bounded backoff. Keep invalid-credential refusals terminal.

Retry must not extend an accepted grant’s expiry. If no other credential remains valid, the session must still close at the original expiry.

Thanks for the clarification.

Learning: When reviewing Rust in-band authorization renewal in rs/moq-relay/src/auth/refresh.rs and rs/moq-tokio/src/connection/auth.rs, evaluate server error classification together with the retained-token lifecycle. Reporting a transient authorization-server failure with a non-auth error code does not provide recovery if the client treats every refusal as terminal. Retry must not extend an accepted credential's expiry.

Agreed that this is a real gap, but it reverses this PR's recorded decision to keep refusals coarse (UNAUTHORIZED, cause in the reason) and needs a client retry policy in moq_tokio::connection::Auth too. Holding it for a maintainer decision rather than changing it here; see the PR description.

The handshake timeout now wraps only accept_request; request.ok() is bounded by the drain deadline alone. A WS peer that sends SETUP and then withholds flow-control credit holds the task until shutdown, which moq_tokio::server::Request::ok guards against with the remaining handshake deadline. Errors from preparing(...)? and ok() also skip refused.close(code, reason), so the peer sees a bare drop. Wrap both in the same timeout and close path as the SETUP read.

Auth::embedded sets in_band: true, but Admission.connection is private, so an embedder cannot tell an in-band attachment from a new session. Both arrive as an Admission with the same session id. An embedder that counts or limits sessions per admission (like tests/auth_embedder.rs) double-counts, or refuses the renewal as a duplicate. Separately, decide frees the pending slot at ADMIT_TIMEOUT while the spawned decider keeps running, so for an embedder the 128 in-flight bound does not hold. (The HTTP decider is fine because reqwest's 10 s timeout matches.) Expose attachment on Admission, or default in_band to false for embedders until they opt in.

With in-band tokens, "A changed root, mounts, peer, or upstream closes the session" and "A 401 or 403 closes it" are true only when no other credential remains; otherwise only that token's grant is removed.

Review round on a93d325..5d5a0df, addressed in 84aeab6ac:

  • OpenAI review: renewal now keeps empty query segments too (flag&&jwt=old& becomes flag&&jwt=new&), with that regression case. The three P2s are fixed inline.
  • CodeRabbit nitpicks: doc/concept/moq-lite.md now says only a relay with an auth server verifies in-band tokens. The 128 bounds and their codes moved from doc/bin/relay/auth.md to the rustdoc of auth::Handle::requests and the relay's pending set.
  • Held for the maintainer: auth-server outage classification during renewal, and embedder visibility of attachments (decisions 8 and 9 in the description). Both change a recorded decision or a public API, so this PR is not being merged until they are settled.

An auth server that cannot decide an in-band token (outage or the admission
timeout) now refuses it with INTERNAL_ERROR on Lite instead of UNAUTHORIZED,
and moq-tokio's retained token presents it again on the reconnect backoff.
Retrying never extends an accepted grant's expiry.

Admission::attached() lets an embedder tell an in-band token from a new
session, and a decider still running past the admission timeout keeps its
in-flight slot until it answers or drops the admission.

Reviewed commit: a6ffc5c.

The independent-credential/centralized-union design remains a sound direction. Per-token accounting, transport-failure replay, and raw-query preservation are addressed. This update also addresses Lite outage retry and the embedder attachment/verification-bound decisions; IETF's documented refusal-code limitation remains.

  • [P2] Validate the owner grant before answering another empty token — rs/moq-relay/src/auth/refresh.rs:169–174. If the original credential revalidates to a different root/mount/routing configuration while another credential keeps the session alive, its initial grant is removed but the owner consumer remains open. A later empty AUTH accepts that incompatible grant without self.valid() and temporarily installs its patterns under the original session root. The next iteration can revoke it promptly, but the successful grant reply has already been queued and the independent native protocol driver can observe the shared limit between updates. Validate before accepting/authorizing, and test changed-root revalidation followed by an empty token with another credential still live. This is not a demonstrated permanent authorization bypass.

  • [P2] Drain attached revalidation on withdrawal and expiry too — rs/moq-auth/src/client.rs:349–359. This is a remaining edge of the existing lifecycle finding: connection_ended drains inflight, but the higher-priority producer.closed() arm and Due::Expired return directly. Dropping an attachment during revalidation releases its admission guard without awaiting the outstanding HTTP request, allowing the owner's End while the server may still process Revalidate. Drain outstanding attached work on every exit path before releasing the guard; add a held-Revalidate regression covering attachment withdrawal/expiry followed by owner close.

P1 Badge Reject a removed initial credential before reissuing it

When the original credential revalidates to a changed root, mounts, routing classification, or unusable role permissions while another token keeps the session alive, Event::Changed removes its Credential, but owner remains open because the auth client treats the successful revalidation as an update. A later empty AUTH request reaches this branch, clones that owner without calling valid, and can re-authorize the invalid grant relative to the original root, restoring access the auth server just removed. Track that the initial credential was invalidated or validate its current grant before accepting another empty request. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

…revalidates

An empty in-band token reissued the connection's own credential without
checking it, so after that credential revalidated to a different root while
another token kept the session alive, the relay briefly re-authorized a grant
it had just removed. Refuse it unless the owner's current grant is still valid.

An attached lease withdrawn or expired mid-Revalidate dropped the request and
released the connection's End early. Every exit from the driver now lands an
in-flight Revalidate first.

Both findings from the review of a6ffc5c are fixed in f0ab7e3:

  • Empty token after the owner grant changes root: refused unless the owner's current grant is still valid (an_empty_token_is_refused_once_the_connection_credential_changes_root).
  • Attached revalidation on withdrawal and expiry: every exit from the lease driver now awaits an in-flight Revalidate before releasing the connection's admission, so End stays last (a_withdrawn_attachment_lands_its_revalidate_before_end).

P2 Badge Reissue the exact grant that passed validation

On a multithreaded relay, if the owner lease revalidates or closes after line 163's snapshot but before this constructor, Credential::new reads the owner grant again and accepts that second value without validating it. A root-, mount-, or routing-changing grant can therefore receive AUTH_OK and briefly enter the union instead of being refused; the next Changed pass eventually removes it, but the peer can already act on the invalid grant. Fresh evidence after the earlier fix is this second owner.grant() read; capture one snapshot, validate it, and use that exact snapshot when issuing the credential.

Merge summary

The relay now renews sessions in band: each AUTH token is verified like the URL token and holds its own lease. The session's scope is the union of its live grants, capped by the SETUP role, and the session ends only when its last grant does. moq_tokio::Connection::auth() keeps tokens presented across reconnects.

  • Public API (Rust):
    • New: moq_auth::Client::attach, moq_net::auth::Request::closed, moq_tokio::Connection::auth, moq_tokio::Auth, moq_tokio::connection::auth::{Token, Watch}, moq_tokio::server::Request::auth, moq_relay::auth::Admission::attached.
    • Changed: lease::Consumer is Clone, and close ends every clone.
  • Public API (JS): adds Request.closed.
  • Wire: no new messages or codes. A token past the pending bound of 128 is refused with TOO_MANY_REQUESTS on Lite. An auth-server outage is refused with INTERNAL_ERROR on Lite and UNAUTHORIZED on IETF, and moq-tokio retries it on its reconnect backoff. A retry never extends an accepted grant.
  • Decisions: 1-7 are recorded in the description. The maintainer decided 8 and 9 on 2026-10-13:
    • 8: transient outage refusal plus client retry; this partly revisits 4.
    • 9: Admission::attached(), with the in-flight slot held until the decider resolves.
  • Review: CodeRabbit reviewed the final head 0fb91bba with no findings, and OpenAI reviewed 0d5966bb with no findings. Since then, main has been merged (conflicts with feat(relay): configure client and peer request caps #5310 resolved) and CodeRabbit's doc wording applied. Earlier Codex and OpenAI findings are fixed: the owner grant snapshot is validated before an empty token is reissued, and attached Revalidates land before End on every exit path.

Review comments at @doc/bin/relay/auth.md:
- Around line 143-147: Update the retry description around Connection::auth() to
make clear that retrying on reconnect backoff applies only to moq-lite. State
that auth-server refusals are terminal on moq-transport and the token ends, and
remove the wire error code from this overview.

Port of #4675, squashed from #5148's first seven commits (7277e5d through
311a73c) and replayed onto main now that #5106 and #5107 have landed.
The moq-tokio half is left out here; it moves onto #5282's
Connection::auth() handle in a later commit.

A SUBSCRIBE or PUBLISH_NAMESPACE is authorized by the session grant first,
then by the AUTHORIZATION TOKEN it carries, verified by the app's
auth::Handle::requests() acceptor and scoped to that one request, else
UNAUTHORIZED. The token's grant never joins the session union, ends with
the request, and is renewed in band by an update. A refused renewal ends
only that request. Draft-19+ advertises and enforces MAX_REQUEST_UPDATES,
closing with TOO_MANY_REQUEST_UPDATES (0x1B).

Replaying onto main keeps main's decoder rules: a request repeating an
identical token is refused MALFORMED_AUTH_TOKEN, and draft-17+ updates
spend their own request ID.
