Finishes quest/m1/compress/core.md: Rust moq-net compresses opted-in tracks with per-group DEFLATE, carries them compressed on lite-07-wip, and serves every other session one shared inflated copy per group.

Summary

• track::Info::compress (default false). A compressed group stores DEFLATE slices (draft-lcurley-moq-flate: raw DEFLATE, sync flush per frame, tail dropped, fresh window per group). The codec moves into a crate-private model::flate (flate2 with zlib-rs); rs/moq-flate stays until Migrate.
• Local writes compress through the group's encoder, which drops at finish. A chunked create_frame buffers privately, uncharged and invisible to readers, then compresses whole on commit.
• Ingress stores the received slice and its declared inflated size, never recompressing. The declared size is checked against the cache limits before anything inflates; inflating to any other size fails the read with WrongSize.
• Plain readers (in-process consumers, egress to lite-01..06 and every IETF draft) share one inflated copy per group, built on first read and released with the group. A reader takes the slices it needs under the group's guard and inflates them under the copy's own lock, so a cold read never holds the group's guard; a concurrent reader skips frames already inflated, and a release fails a late inflater instead of billing past it.
• The inflated copy and the codec state (encoder about 256 KiB, decoder about 40 KiB) are billed to cache::Pool through cache::Extra and count toward the group's eviction size while held, so what a peer makes readers hold is what evicting the group pays back. Inflation settles the track's eviction debt like a write does, so a finished track's readers still bring the pool back to its target. A plain reader only ever sees whole frames of a compressed group.
• Stats: a new inflated traffic counter (bytes inflated for plain readers, once per group, on the side of the reader that inflated). bytes still counts payload as stored or sent, for whole, batched and chunked writes alike.
• Lite-07 egress reads the stored form (crate-private group::Consumer::compressed()), streaming in-flight received slices.
• Datagrams compress alone with a fresh encoder; the send buffer keeps both forms so each session takes the one it can carry. A received compressed datagram's declared size is capped at the datagram payload limit before it inflates.
• Metering counts the form stored or on the wire: compressed slices to and from lite-07, plain payload to lite-06 and IETF. Only Traffic::inflated counts inflation, including received compressed datagrams.
• Route-change resume uses main's head hand-off (fix(net): a resumed group keeps the head the replaced route received #5958): the failed route's compressed head, slices and inflated sizes together, is lent to a replacement that fetches only the rest, so a plain reader inflates the group from frame 0. When that head is gone (reclaimed or expired), a plain reader fails with the route's error instead of spinning on a replacement it cannot inflate.
• js/net parses the lite-07 codec id and refuses a compressed track with an error; nothing first-party sets compress until Migrate.
• moq-ffi MoqTrackInfo.compress, moq-c moq_track_info.compress, Go and Python wrappers, regenerated Dart bindings, and a line on each doc/lib/{py,go,swift,kt,dart,c,cpp} page.
• Drafts: moq-lite TRACK_INFO [Compression (i)], FRAME and datagram [Inflated Size (i)] when Compression is not none, changelog; moq-flate drops the .z suffix, "no transport signal", and the datagram ban, and describes relay inflation.
• doc/concept/moq-lite.md gains one paragraph on compressed tracks; doc/concept/stats.md documents inflated.
• Drive-by: rs/moq-net/benches/session.rs was one {} short of its arguments on main and failed to compile; fixed so just check builds the benches.

Public API and wire impact

• Rust: track::Info::compress and with_compress (additive; Info is #[non_exhaustive]). stats::Traffic::inflated (additive; #[non_exhaustive]). Nothing else is exported: the codec, Consumer::compressed(), and the lite wire types are crate-private.
• moq-ffi: MoqTrackInfo::compress (defaults to false; Rust struct literals break). MIGRATE entry.
• moq-c: moq_track_info::compress, a trailing field that changes the ABI; zero-init keeps it off. MIGRATE entry.
• Go TrackInfo.Compress, Python TrackInfo.compress; Swift, Kotlin, Dart, C++ use the generated record.
• JS: TrackInfo.compress on the lite wire class only; the model gains nothing until the JS quest.
• Stats JSON: an additive inflated field on every traffic entry; older consumers ignore it and a missing one reads as zero.
• Wire, lite-07-wip only:
  • TRACK_INFO ends Refresh (i), then Compression (i): none (0x0) or DEFLATE (0x1), anything else is a PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.
  • FRAME is [Timestamp Delta] [Inflated Size] Message Length Payload, with Inflated Size present when Compression is not none.
  • DATAGRAM is Subscribe ID, Group Sequence, [Timestamp], [Inflated Size], Payload.
  • Published versions are unchanged: they receive the inflated frames with no codec id.

Decisions

1. Resume: main's head hand-off (fix(net): a resumed group keeps the head the replaced route received #5958) already keeps a failed route's head, compressed form included, and lends it to the replacement, which is the prefix this PR used to refetch. The branch's workaround (a plain reader of a compressed group asked the replacement for frames 0..N and required it to hold frame 0) is deleted; the replacement fetches from frame N as for any group. One guard stays: a replacement that starts past frame 0 without the head cannot be inflated, so the plain read fails with the route's error rather than adopting it and looping. Without it the read livelocks (a_compressed_group_without_its_head_fails_the_read hangs).
2. TRACK_INFO shape: a codec id varint (0 none, 1 DEFLATE, else PROTOCOL_VIOLATION), worded like Group Order. track::Info::compress stays a bool.
3. FRAME field order: Inflated Size before Message Length.
4. Billing: inflated bytes count toward the group's eviction size only once inflated, so debt and payoff match; a separate inflated stats field counts inflation. bytes keeps meaning bytes as stored or sent.
5. Locking: inflate outside the group's exclusive guard: slices and sizes are cloned under the guard, inflated under the copy's lock, a concurrent first reader skips frames already inflated, and a release marks the copy so a late inflater discards its output and bills nothing.
6. Plain join past frame 0: Lagged.

Tests

• rs/moq-net/tests/integration/compress.rs: whole and chunked frames on a compressed track round-trip publisher -> relay (lite-07) -> subscriber on lite-07, lite-06, lite-03, and moq-transport-17, and only lite-07 sees the codec id; datagrams round-trip on lite-07 and lite-06.
• Group unit tests: slices stored, two plain readers share one billed inflated copy, released with the group, raw read inflates back; a size mismatch fails with WrongSize; an oversized declaration is refused on open; a declaration on a plain track is a protocol violation; a plain read past frame 0 lags on every read; a compressed successor adopts only a compressed head; the codec state is billed while held and dropped at finish or the last inflated frame; whole, batched and chunked compressed writes meter bytes as stored.
• inflating_settles_the_pool_debt: a capacity-only pool and a finished compressed track whose inflated groups would hold 4x the capacity; a plain reader inflating them brings the pool back within capacity.
• inflation_is_shared_and_stops_at_release: two readers take the same slices under the guard, the second inflates nothing, the copy counts toward cache_size and inflated once, and a reader that took its slices before an eviction bills nothing after it. Deterministic: it interleaves the two phases by hand rather than with threads.
• Resume: a_failed_compressed_group_continues_from_the_replacement (the replacement fetches from frame 2, adopts the compressed head, and the plain reader inflates frame 2; its cache holds the whole group), and a_compressed_group_without_its_head_fails_the_read (the head is reclaimed by a pool shrink; the read fails with Dropped instead of spinning).
• Wire: TRACK_INFO codec id and version gating, unknown codec refused, datagram inflated size, fuzz decodes every format.
• JS: TRACK_INFO codec round-trip, unknown codec is a ProtocolViolation, refusal before lite-07.
• Bench group_inflate, swept over 1/16 groups and 1/8/64 readers: about 1.3 µs per extra reader per 32-frame group, so the inflate stays per group.

Ran in the nix dev shell at 54a28db: just check passes (9134 nextest tests; the NixOS github-runner-vm VM test failed once with "Shell disconnected" and passed alone). just test interop --all and just drafts check passed after the last main merge, before two test-only fixups. nix flake check was not run.

Follow-ups

• JavaScript lifts the js/net refusal.
• Migrate moves catalogs, stats, and timelines onto compress and deletes rs/moq-flate and @moq/flate.
• The relay's Prometheus exporter could expose inflated beside moq_relay_datagrams_total.
• frame::Consumer crossed clippy's large_enum_variant line with the new field; IETF egress's transient FillStep allows it. Shrinking frame::Consumer (for example boxing Expiry) is a separate cleanup.

Maintainer decisions on the open list, now implemented on this branch (except 1):

1. Resume: not settled here. A separate resume-prefix PR will keep frames 0..N-1 across a route change for every group; this PR builds on it and drops its two-path start logic afterwards. The current resume code stays for now, so this PR stays a draft, blocked on that PR.
2. TRACK_INFO: the u8 boolean is now a Compression (i) codec id varint: 0 = none, 1 = DEFLATE, anything else is a PROTOCOL_VIOLATION. Changed in lite/track.rs, js/net/src/lite/track.ts and its test, and the draft (worded like Group Order; FRAME and datagram Inflated Size present "when Compression is not none"; changelog). track::Info::compress stays a bool, so no ffi or binding change.
3. Billing: inflated bytes count toward the group's eviction size (cache_size) only once actually inflated, so the debt they add matches what evicting the group pays back. A separate inflated field on stats::Traffic, folded by rs/moq-stats and listed in doc/concept/stats.md, counts inflation once per group. bytes still means bytes as stored or sent.
4. Locking: a plain reader clones the slices and sizes it still needs under the group's guard, then inflates under the shared copy's own lock. A concurrent first reader waits on that lock and skips frames already inflated, and a release marks the copy so a late inflater discards its output and bills nothing. Covered by a deterministic test that interleaves the two phases by hand.
5. doc/lib/{py,go,swift,kt,dart,c,cpp} each gain a line on compress.

Field order and Lagged on a plain join past frame 0 stay as implemented.

Reject final DEFLATE blocks

When a peer sends a final raw-DEFLATE block, especially as the last frame of a group, Status::StreamEnd exits this loop without rejecting the final block or checking whether all input was consumed; if the produced length matches size, the decoder accepts it, including any ignored suffix. The format explicitly keeps the group stream unterminated and requires a sync flush for every frame, so this malformed input should abandon the group rather than be cached and forwarded; treat StreamEnd as MalformedTrack.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L17-L18

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

[kixelated]

Fixed in 1698dbc: Decoder::frame returns MalformedTrack on Status::StreamEnd, so a final block abandons the group whatever its size. Regression test flate::test::a_final_block_is_malformed. The flate draft now says a consumer MUST treat a final block as malformed.

Send compressed subscriptions from frame zero

When a Lite07 subscription begins at a nonzero frame, position_group advances the cursor before this converts the consumer to stored DEFLATE slices, so the stream omits the earlier frames that established the compression window. The receiver then creates a group with that nonzero offset, and GroupState::inflate returns Lagged for every plain read because it cannot reconstruct the missing window. Widen compressed subscriptions to frame zero rather than emitting this undecodable partial group.

AGENTS.md reference: rs/moq-net/AGENTS.md:L11-L11

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

[kixelated]

Declining, no change; this is a settled decision rather than a merge regression. The PR body's Decisions item 6 ("Plain join past frame 0: Lagged") and quest/m1/compress/README.md say a server serves exactly the range asked for. A requester asks from frame N only because it already holds 0..N-1; route-change resume lends the failed route's compressed head to the replacement for this (a_failed_compressed_group_continues_from_the_replacement). Without that head, the plain read fails loud with Lagged instead of decoding garbage (a_compressed_group_without_its_head_fails_the_read). If the server widened to frame 0, it would send frames the subscription excluded and mis-number the group's offset.

Merge summary at 66f4655:

• Merged main, which conflicted with the new ietf extension (moq-dev/moq#6058) in 6 moq-net files. Resolution:
  • lite::Format now carries the track's timescale (which the extension's datagram decode needs) next to compressed. Datagram::decode takes (buf, version, ietf, format).
  • On a group stream, the frame header is: Object Record, then Timestamp, Inflated Size, and Size. Inflated Size reads through poll_header_varint, so a relayed group can't end at that position.
  • In a datagram, Inflated Size follows the Datagram State and Timestamp. A status datagram carries none, and the encoder refuses one that does. The model does not deflate a status datagram's empty payload. draft-lcurley-moq-ietf now lists [Inflated Size (i)] in its DATAGRAM body.
  • insert_deflated_datagram now takes the stored datagram, so its relay state is kept. poll_recv_stored_datagram now returns statuses too, so lite egress can relay them, while the public poll_recv_datagram still skips them.
  • New test compressed_media_crosses_a_negotiated_hop sends compressed groups and a datagram across an ietf-negotiated lite-07 hop.
• Added a Go MIGRATE.md entry for TrackInfo.Compress, from Codex's finding.
• Declined Codex's "send compressed subscriptions from frame zero" because it contradicts decision 6 (plain join past frame 0 is Lagged; the server serves exactly what is asked).

Checks: just check passes, just drafts check passes, just test interop --all passes (all checks). Codex reviewed this head.

Defer the stored-size check for streamed compressed frames

When create_frame is used on a compressed group near the 32 MiB limit, this checks the frame's uncompressed declaration against the already-compressed cache before the frame is compressed. For example, a group holding about 25 MiB of incompressible slices rejects and aborts a streamed 7 MiB repetitive frame even though its DEFLATE slice is tiny and both the final stored and inflated totals fit their respective limits; write_frame accepts the equivalent payload because it checks the actual slice size. For scratch frames, apply the stored-byte limit after compression in frame_commit and use the declaration here only for the inflated limit.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

[kixelated]

Declining. A scratch frame buffers its plain chunks until frame_commit compresses them, so while it streams the group really does hold the stored slices plus up to the declared plain size. Checking the declaration against the stored budget bounds that peak, and it fails at create_frame rather than after the producer has streamed the whole frame. write_frame differs only because it has the payload in hand and can compress before checking. The cost is a conservative refusal for a highly compressible frame opened within one frame of the 32 MiB cap, which a producer can avoid by starting a new group.

Merged origin/main in aa40b06862 after the queue removed the PR for a conflict.

• Textual conflicts: the ## Unreleased entries in go/wrapper, rs/moq-c, and rs/moq-ffi MIGRATE.md now list both this PR's compress field and feat(moq-net): time anchors for subscription ranges #6074's time anchors; the lite draft keeps TRACK_INFO's Compression paragraph ahead of the new TRACKS sections.
• Semantic fix: the TRACKS listing from #6057 built lite::TrackInfo without compress. The publisher now sends it with the same lite-07 gate TRACK uses, and the subscriber keeps it on the listed track::Info, so a listed compressed track is not mistaken for a plain one. a_listing_carries_track_info and lite::tracks events_roundtrip now cover it; the integration test fails without the subscriber fix.
• A raw_track_time_anchor test from feat(moq-net): time anchors for subscription ranges #6074 got compress: false.

Checks: just check passed (the first run hit the known bench/relay.test.py port-collision flake tracked in quest/m1/test-flakes-2/relay-bench-holder.md, which passed on rerun), plus just drafts check, quest check, and just test interop --all.

Codex reviewed this head; I declined its one finding on the streamed-frame stored-size check (reply).
