First half of quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/dynamic.md: serve each subscriber its own ranges. The other half (range requests on track::Dynamic replacing requested_group/fetch_group) stays in the quest; see the decisions. Time anchors were split out to their own PR, starting from the quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/time-end branch (quest).

What changes

• Ranges filter reads. A track::Subscriber reads only the groups its own Subscription::ranges cover, resolved where it is served and again whenever update replaces them. Before, they only set where reads started, and a subscriber read every later group the aggregate brought in.
• A reader holds only its range and position. The arrival walk passes a group outside the ranges or past the set_groups cap holding nothing: no parked consumer, no abort watch. Before, a narrow reader under an open aggregate parked one of each per produced group. A move of the floor, ranges, or cap owes the sequence spans it newly admits (a few ranges, never groups), and the walk re-offers what the cache still holds there, lowest first, through state.lookup.range. Each cached group in a widened span is visited once, so a widening costs O(log n + k) for its k groups, never the cache or the audience. A group evicted meanwhile is filled upstream by range, as any miss is. A finished track now ends a reader with nothing left in range rather than holding it open for a cap that might rise; failover still counts a group past a copy's local cap as unread (has_unread_group).
• A lowered floor re-offers what is cached. Lowering the start (by replacing the ranges, or a SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE lowering Group Start) now serves the cached groups below the old floor, even ones that arrived before the groups already read, so a relay can fold a second subscription into one. This reverses fix(moq-net): serve a quiet catalog after a resume floor is cleared #4940's no-rewind rule; a_widening_update_serves_a_cached_group_below_the_old_floor and the_end_drops_below_a_lowered_start pin the new contract, and the lite draft's SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE section states it. Cost bound: this is the widening above, so an update costs O(log n + k) for the k groups it re-offers. A peer alternating the floor pays that per update, bounded by the cache in the span, and the subscriber's delivered set keeps any group from going out twice. It re-offers only groups the arrival walk could have read: never fetched backfill, and never a group a route still withholds until reveal_group.
• Failover keeps each range where it resolved. A front's replacement copy used to clamp every relative start to the newest group delivered, so a later disjoint range was asked from that group and its filter let everything in between through. The Window now reports each range resolved, and the clamp raises or caps that resolution instead of substituting the bound. A start not resolved yet (such as a range updated while the replacement is still pending) keeps its own anchor rather than becoming the floor, and the copy raises its local start to that floor when it answers, so a group the reader skipped below it is never handed out late. The reader keeps its ranges as a copy resolved them, before that copy's failover cap raised them, so its floor and next_in_range outlive that copy and resolve after a route switch.
• Drift is measured under the ranges. The drift edge is capped where the ranges end as well as at the set_groups cap, so a range behind the live edge is judged against its own newest group: a zero-delay 0..2 on a track holding 0..=10 now serves group 1 instead of skipping it for group 2, which it never reads. Each run is judged by its own groups: a gap between ranges is never a drift edge, and a single run keeps its lower bound, at one lookup like a plain cap. A Control replacing the ranges republishes the window at once, so a held group is judged against them before the cursor next reads; the window and the set_groups cap are published as one value, so neither writer can leave a mismatched pair.
• Drop accounting. The cursor's drop scan clips each dropped run to the reader's own ranges, so poll_drop names only sequences the reader asked for. This is the piece SUBSCRIBE_DROP can reuse.
• Relative resolution moves into the model. moq-c's raw reader no longer resolves relative starts itself: the RawReader that fix(net)!: report a reader's largest within its local bounds #5924 added on main, which counted back from the track's largest and held reads until it was live, gives way to passing the ranges to the model, which resolves them where it serves. moq-mux's container consumer starts at the new track::Subscriber::floor() instead of adopting the first arrival, which newest-first delivery made the latest, and walks over a gap between ranges at once via track::Subscriber::next_in_range instead of waiting out its budget (forever on an open track) for groups it never gets.
• Benchmark track_range_serving drains one reader over disjoint ranges, swept over range count and span. It found two per-range walks per hand-out (the re-offer scan and the settled check), plus an O(ranges) compare on every poll; all three are now O(1) per hand-out, using a ranges revision on the preferences channel. The remaining dip at 256 ranges by 64 groups tracks total cached groups, not ranges. track_range_widening (replacing track_parked_abort) widens one reader by 8 cached groups mid-cache and back, swept over cached groups (64 to 16384) and readers beside it (1 to 1024): 3.9 to 4.1 µs per widening at 1 reader, 3.9 to 4.5 µs at 1024, so flat in readers and logarithmic in the cache.

Public API impact

• New moq_net::track::Subscriber::floor() -> Option<u64>: the lowest group the ranges name, None while one reaches back to the oldest group or a relative start waits.
• New moq_net::track::Subscriber::next_in_range(from) -> Option<u64>: the lowest group at or above from the ranges cover.
• Behavior: a subscriber no longer reads groups only another subscriber asked for.
• Behavior: lowering a subscriber's floor serves the cached groups below the old one; a moq-lite publisher answering a SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE that lowers Group Start now sends them instead of dropping them.
• Behavior: once a track finishes, a Subscriber with nothing left in its ranges or under its set_groups cap ends, instead of waiting for the cap to rise.
• Behavior: a range behind the live edge keeps its own newest group under a zero or short max_delay.
• Bindings (FFI, C, and every wrapper): no signature change, only the read filter above.
• MIGRATE.md entries for moq-net, moq-ffi, moq-c, C++, Go, Kotlin, Swift, Dart, Python.

Wire impact

No wire format change. The lite draft now says a lowered Group Start covers groups the publisher already holds, which is the behavior above, and logs it in the moq-lite-07 changelog.

Decisions

Settled by the maintainer.

1. Scope split. Land this PR as the serving half; range requests on track::Dynamic (replacing requested_group/fetch_group) and FETCH budget translation stay in quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/dynamic.md, whose Plan this PR trims.
   • ✅ Land the serving half now
   • Do the whole quest in this PR
2. Subscriber::floor() as public API. moq-mux needs the resolved floor.
   • ✅ Keep it public
   • Keep it pub(crate) and move the mux startup rule into moq-net
3. A lowered floor and the groups the walk passed (Codex, on the arrival-order cursor skipping cached groups below the floor).
   • ✅ Re-offer them, reversing fix(moq-net): serve a quiet catalog after a resume floor is cleared #4940's no-rewind rule, so a relay can combine subscriptions via SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE; look them up by sequence so a peer can't force a whole-cache scan
   • Keep the no-rewind rule
4. Groups outside a reader's range (Codex: a narrow reader parks a consumer and an abort watch per excluded group).
   • ✅ Drop parking: keep only the range and position, and re-scan the cache on a widening, since that costs O(log n + k) per widening (benchmarked)
   • Keep parking and bound it
5. Drift edge for a range behind the live edge (Codex: a zero-delay 0..2 skips group 1 for group 2).
   • ✅ Cap the edge where the ranges end, as well as at the set_groups cap
   • Keep judging every range against the track's live edge
6. Time anchors (Codex: an unresolved time end rescans behind a peer-controlled gap, and failover can replace it for good).
   • ✅ Split time starts and ends into their own PR, from the quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/time-end branch, before lite-07 finalizes
   • Fix both here

Follow-ups

• The remainder of dynamic.md (decision 1).
• Frame bounds: a local track::Subscriber hands out whole groups even when its range starts or ends mid-group. Codex flagged it here, but it predates this PR (reproduced on main 824179a: a start at frame 5 is handed frame 0), and the wire publishers already position each group per subscription.
• Time anchors (decision 6), with its open findings.

Checks

just check and just test interop --all pass.

Maintainer decisions on the four open decisions:

1. Scope split: land this PR as the serving half. Range requests on track::Dynamic, the unresolved time anchor passed to the handler, and FETCH budget translation stay in quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/dynamic.md with its trimmed Plan.
2. Subscriber::floor(): stays public.
3. C time anchor: moq_anchor gets a dedicated timestamp_us field, read with MOQ_ANCHOR_TIME, instead of reusing group. Done in feb8a72 with a rs/moq-c/MIGRATE.md entry. Only moq-c exposes the C anchor; the other bindings go through moq-ffi's MoqAnchor::Time { timestamp_us }, and nothing in cpp/ or doc/lib/ names it.
4. Time end at the live edge: accept the one extra group that may start past a time end, documented on track::Anchor::Time and in doc/concept/moq-lite.md.

just check and just test interop --all pass on the merged head.

Walkthrough

Subscriptions now filter reads to groups covered by their own ranges. The track model resolves absolute, relative, and time-based anchors into group windows and rejects time anchors on untimed tracks. FFI conversions and consumer updates propagate conversion and update errors through Rust, C, Dart, Go, Kotlin, Python, and Swift interfaces. Tests, migration notes, documentation, benchmarks, and raw-track update handling were also updated.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 07eb2

Per-subscriber range serving and time anchors look sound, and the earlier issues with time-range boundaries, refused datagram readers, and floor-lowering backfill have been addressed. One small API inconsistency remains. After a route failover, the newly public subscriber floor() can report no floor even when an absolute start was requested. Callers that read it after failover would get the wrong answer. This is a bounded follow-up rather than a merge blocker.

Maintainer review: approved, with one condition. timestamp_us in MoqAnchor::Time and moq_anchor is temporary. It gets replaced by the exact {value, scale} timestamp when Exact timestamps in every binding lands. 01cec52 adds the anchor to that quest's scope.
