Problem

Cloneable group writers can race frame writes against finish. The track cache also keeps an unfinished writer alive after its owner drops, leaving readers waiting.

Change

Give each group one writer and a private non-writing Handle for caches and sessions. Owned frames take the writer and return it when they finish. Dropping an unfinished writer commits Dropped, releases cached frames, and retains committed recovery positions. Receive-frame cancellation reports Cancel and preserves an existing explicit abort cause. Fixtures finish completed groups or retain intentionally open writers.

This completes and retires quest/m1/public-model/group-writer.md, dropping it from the public-model epic and from ingest's Required.

Public API and wire impact

  • Breaking Rust API (moq-net): group::Producer is no longer Clone, finish takes &mut self, and Error::FrameOpen is removed. It is now #[must_use], so discarding one warns. Dropping an unfinished group::Producer now aborts the group with Error::Dropped immediately, even while the cache holds it. rs/moq-net/MIGRATE.md has the migration under ## Unreleased, including the retained Deref<Target = Info> clone pitfall.
  • group::Handle is pub(crate); nothing new is exported.
  • No wire format, JavaScript API, or exported FFI shape change. FFI keeps its existing mutex as the writer owner; moq-c only gains a mut binding. JS Group.Producer is already a single object.
  • The maintainer settled this shape in the quest (quest(m1): plan a non-Clone group producer #5892). The public owned chunked writer remains with quest/m1/public-model/ingest.md.

Decisions

Settled by the maintainer on #5892 (recorded from the quest): group::Handle naming, finish(&mut self), delete Error::FrameOpen, keep Deref<Target = Info> and document the clone pitfall.

Picked during the merge with main (no maintainer input; recommended options):

  1. Main's new-group relay fixture (ietf::subscriber::new_group_tests::Relay::land) wrote frames into a group and dropped its writer, which now aborts the group and releases the frames the refresh judgment reads.
    • ✅ Keep landed groups open in the fixture, as a live publisher's would (closest to what the tests meant before this PR).
    • Finish each landed group (also passes, but no longer models a group still being written).
  2. Main's track::test::refresh_group helper had the same shape.
    • ✅ Finish the group; the join judgment reads only the cached frames, and these tests are about sequence numbering, not an open group.
    • Return the writer and hold it at every call site (more churn, no extra coverage).
  3. Main deleted track::test::new_group_requests_aggregate_out_of_sight with the NewGroup aggregation; this PR had only edited it.
    • ✅ Keep main's deletion.
  4. Main's feat(moq-net): serve each subscriber its own ranges, with time anchors #5929 deleted track::test::evicted_parked_group_wakes_the_clean_end, an_aborted_candidate_keeps_the_parked_copy_watched, an_abort_removes_a_non_prefix_parked_entry, and the track_parked_abort bench with the parked-cursor machinery; this PR had only edited them.
    • ✅ Keep main's deletions.
  5. feat(moq-net): serve each subscriber its own ranges, with time anchors #5929's range filter (next_owed, poll_next_in_range with its window) handed out group::Producer clones from the cache.
    • ✅ Return group::Handle, like every other cache read under one writer. Its tests reveal through withheld.handle() and finish the groups they only create.
  6. Tests that discarded a fresh writer mid-test to model an open or stalled group (Codex review) now passed against an already-dead group.
    • ✅ Hold those writers to the end of the test, and mark group::Producer #[must_use] so a discarded writer warns; MIGRATE.md names the lint.
    • Hold the writers only, without the lint (fixes today's tests, but the same mistake can come back silently).
  7. The quest kept itself open pending browser interop --all.
    • ✅ Retire it here: no JS, wire, or FFI shape changes, native interop passed, and interop.yml runs --all nightly.
    • Keep it until a local browser run (blocked on the host's Chromium issue).

Validation

  • just check at 3316c6d39 exited 0: 7,707 native tests passed (31 skipped), lint (deny warnings, including the new must_use), rustdoc, doctests, and the 102 Python binding tests.
  • Earlier, just check after merging main at 697441d81 exited 0: 7,691 native tests passed (30 skipped), the minimum-feature and feature-scoped suites, lint, rustdoc, doctests, and the 102 Python binding tests. The head then merged only f13283b30 (the CARLA demo, no group writer use); the workspace compiles all targets and moq-carla-bridge's 16 tests pass.
  • Workspace cargo nextest --all-targets --all-features --no-fail-fast (excluding fuzz) at the earlier merge: 9,426 passed.
  • Earlier, on the pre-merge head: two cached writer-drop regressions failed on unchanged main and passed here, as did the cancellation sensitivity test; all 16 moq-net and 16 kio loom models passed; the ownership compile-fail doctest passes; the session group-cost benchmark completed all 72 cases (no performance claim); native interop passed (Rust/Python/Go/C++ publishers × Rust/Python/Go/C++/Node/Bun/C/GStreamer subscribers, plus denial, FETCH close, finite tails, and wire preflight).
  • moq-cli::integration export::redundant_importers_switch_through_bufferbloat_on_lite_07 failed once in a just check run. It is a pre-existing flake: it also fails about 1 in 3 runs on unchanged main (7a14a489c), with the stitching export exiting on the source's clock runs -6238514.8 ppm off ours, past the 30 ppm. The bufferbloat shaper slows delivery below real time and the TS follower's drift check rejects it.

Remaining

Swift checks were not run locally (no Swift toolchain on the host). Browser interop is left to the nightly.

No open API decisions.

Outcome at b5b6eeb3fe16dfa4ad603a5912bff54223ad1790: one non-Clone group writer, private non-writing Handle, terminal unfinished drop, owned-frame writer return, and migration are implemented. Rust API breaks are documented; no wire, JS, or exported FFI shape change. No API decisions remain.

Validation is combined honestly: the full gate at 8913fdbcd passed 7,615 native tests (31 skipped), 1,029 minimum-feature tests, Rust lint/docs/features and available binding checks, then failed its final Python clock fixture (101 passed, 1 failed). The Python-only correction passed all 102 tests and just check 8913fdbcd. The only later source change is a mutable binding in a cfg(loom) test; formatting and all 16 moq-net + 16 kio models pass. The new non-Clone compile-fail doctest passes. Rust implementation source is identical to 8913fdbcd.

The native interop run exited zero: all 32 positive publisher × subscriber cells, the enforcing Rust denial round, CLI FETCH close, clean and cut finite tails, and five wire preflight tests passed. Browser --all was not run successfully and is not claimed.

Failure evidence is retained locally: initial scoped default run had 2,526 passes, 46 failures and 1 timeout (8 skipped); the timeout was a helper discarding unfinished groups. The first full gate stopped compiling an immutable downstream finish binding. The next had 1,145 passes, 1 FFI fixture failure and 6,469 unrun (31 skipped). Complete native collection then had 7,613 passes and 2 relay fixture failures (31 skipped). These fixtures now finish only completed groups; intentionally stalled writers remain open. The final Python fixture and cfg(loom) compile failure are also preserved with their passing reruns. No assertions or timeouts were weakened.

All 72 existing group-cost benchmark cases completed. Context: AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT, Linux 6.18.56, CPUs 8–11, shared host, jobs 2, wall-clock timing, 10 samples, 100 ms warm-up and 1 s measurement. One relay, one broadcast per publisher, each viewer watches one broadcast, four 64-byte frames per group. Both 64 B and 1 MiB backpressure windows were measured. No before/after baseline or performance improvement is claimed.

Representative median microseconds/round, 1 MiB window; each cell SUBSCRIBE / FETCH.

Browser validation remains blocked by the host's known pinned Chromium dependency issue; Swift has no toolchain here. The quest is retained, and this PR stays draft under the user's hold. Suggested continuation is /quest-iterate for that remaining validation after the hold; the public owned chunked API already belongs to the ingest quest. No merges, auto-merge, readiness changes, review requests, or CI polling were performed.

Walkthrough

Group producers now enforce single-writer ownership, while cloneable handles provide shared observation. Owned frames return the writer when committed, and receive groups restore writers after frame ingestion. Track storage and subscriber paths now use handles. Call sites, tests, benchmarks, fuzz helpers, and migration documents were updated for the revised lifecycle.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 8a085

This change makes group writers single-owner and non-cloneable, and updates callers and tests to match. The supplied evidence shows no concrete defect. Browser and Swift validation were not run locally, which is normal residual uncertainty.

- Around line 25-41: Ensure the frame lifecycle restores the group writer
through restore only after frame.finish() succeeds or when no frame is open;
leave the writer unavailable when finish() returns an error. Apply this behavior
consistently to the Lite and IETF ingest state machines using create_frame_owned
