Completes the quest quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/ietf-update.md (deleted here).

Problem

A relay's moq-transport subscription read the downstream aggregate once, at SUBSCRIBE (rs/moq-net/src/ietf/subscriber.rs, js/net/src/ietf/subscriber.ts). A second subscriber at a higher priority never raised the upstream request, and leaving never lowered it. lite already updates it.

Approach

• Rust: the subscription loop watches the aggregate priority and sends it in the same update that already carries NEW_GROUP_REQUEST (write_new_group becomes write_update). One update in flight where the answer returns on the request stream (draft 17 on); changes meanwhile coalesce.
• JS: a #runUpdates loop does the same after SUBSCRIBE_OK, and #runPublishDone reads the REQUEST_OK / REQUEST_ERROR answers before PUBLISH_DONE. The draft-14-16 adapter consumes the answers naming our own update IDs on drafts 15 and 16 instead of warning about them.
• Draft 14: SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE has no optional fields and must not move the start, so it repeats the bounds: Rust's Largest Object subscription starts at {Largest.Group, Largest.Object + 1} from SUBSCRIBE_OK, JS's absolute one at {0, 0}. End Group stays 0 (open ended).
• Group order stays as SUBSCRIBE asked: no draft lets an update change it (decided in quest(m1): plan the group order follow-ups #5400).
• Tests: rs/moq-net/tests/integration/subscribe_priority.rs (lite-06/07, drafts 14 to 22, direct and through a relay, mock clock), a draft-14 wire test for the repeated bounds, and js/net/src/subscribe_priority.test.ts (lite-07, drafts 14 to 22). Both fail without the fix. The JS origin never serves a received route onward, so the relay case is Rust-only.

Impact

• Wire: a relay or JS subscriber now sends SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE / REQUEST_UPDATE with SUBSCRIBER_PRIORITY on an established moq-transport subscription. Every published draft allows it; no message format changes.
• No public API change.

Alternatives

• Re-subscribing on a priority change: costs a round trip and a gap for a transmission preference.

Follow-ups

• Widening the upstream filter on draft 20+ (a live subscriber merged after one from a future group) moves to quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/ietf.md, which the old quest already named for range updates. subscribe_ranges.rs still leaves draft 20+ out for it.
• just check locally needed fix(rs): match wasm-bindgen to the nix dev shell's 0.2.129 CLI #5911's wasm-bindgen fix applied temporarily (main's nix shell ships the 0.2.129 CLI); it is not part of this PR.

Checks: just check and just test interop --all pass.

Walkthrough

Rust and JavaScript subscribers now send upstream subscription updates when aggregate subscriber priority changes. Updates can also include eligible new-group requests, and protocol versions differ in request ID and response handling. The Rust implementation includes a fixed open-ended update range. New tests check priority changes across protocol versions and direct or relayed connections. Documentation describes priority and range behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 77b3f

The JavaScript subscriber's new priority updates can break moq-transport sessions. On draft 14, an update can move the subscription start backward, and a conforming publisher must then close the session. When the last viewer leaves, an update can collide with the unsubscribe message. That can corrupt the shared control stream or, on drafts 14 and 15, stall later requests. Fix both issues before merging; the Rust side looks correct.

Merge summary

• Changes: moq-transport subscriptions now follow the aggregate subscriber priority upstream (Rust and JS), sending it in SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE / REQUEST_UPDATE. Draft 14 repeats the subscription's own start: Rust's Largest Object filter at {Largest.Group, Largest.Object + 1}, JS's absolute start at {0, 0}. Group order stays as SUBSCRIBE asked.
• Decision: the maintainer accepts the {0, 0} draft-14 start in JS (CodeRabbit agreed in its thread after the explanation).
• Reviews: CodeRabbit reviewed 77b3fcb; its teardown finding is fixed in c3a5cc2 (await #runUpdates before #cancelSubscribe), which it confirmed in the thread. The Codex review run failed. Both CodeRabbit threads are resolved.
• CI: all required checks pass on c3a5cc2.
• Follow-up: widening the upstream filter on draft 20+ stays in quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/ietf.md.

The merge-queue failure (moqt-21 follows the aggregate priority upstream timing out) was a real race in the JS subscriber, not the test.

Cause: #runUpdates counted an update as unanswered only after the write's promise resolved. On drafts 17+ the answer comes back on the subscription stream, and #runPublishDone could read the publisher's REQUEST_OK before that count landed. It then saw an answer with nothing outstanding, failed the subscription with unexpected message on a subscription: 0x7, and the test waited forever for the priority.

Fix: count the update before writing it (5c6fa05). The Rust subscriber has the same order but is safe: it reads answers in the same task, so they are never polled while the write is pending.

Test: the mock transport now acknowledges the client's bidirectional writes a task late, as a real send stream may. Without the fix this fails drafts 17-22 on every run.

Failure rate (32-48 concurrent bun test --rerun-each 5 of the file):

• before: 48 of 2880 runs on drafts 17-22 failed (about 1.7%)
• after: 0 of 9600 runs, with the late-ack test forcing the race on every run, while just check ran alongside

just check passes after merging origin/main.

Merging with maintainer approval. The relay forwards aggregate priority updates upstream on drafts 14-22; the queue flake was a real JS race (an update counted only after its write, so a fast REQUEST_OK looked unexpected), fixed by counting before the write with a test that forces the race. Codex reviewed this head with no findings.
