feat(archive)!: serve a stored broadcast through archive::Consumer - #6262
archive::Producer records a broadcast as one <broadcast>/@<epoch> prefix per publisher instance, but nothing reads that layout back: moq_archive::Reader and moq import archive only replay the older timeline recordings. A recording made today cannot be replayed or served as HLS.
Approach
moq_archive::Consumer replaces Reader. It serves a stored prefix as an ordinary broadcast, driven by the store's key listing:
every track is created up front with no max age, so TRACKS lists them all and archived history never expires relative to the newest group;
each track is live from its newest stored group and keeps that group open until a later object or the end markers arrive;
older groups are served through track::Dynamic fills from a byte-bounded LRU of stored objects (Config::cache, 64 MiB default), one GET per object however many groups it spans;
a fill stops a group's GET once every reader narrowed past it, so the groups it still owes are not stuck behind it;
gaps, a pruned start, a pruned group head, and datagram sequences in a fill read as dropped; a datagram replays as a datagram;
a GET that fails while the store still lists the object refuses its group only for now, so a later reader asks again;
every Config::refresh (1s default) it lists added tracks and each track's new objects after its own cursor, and ends tracks as recorded once the prefix .end marker appears; without it the archive stays live;
an errored track end ({"error":code}) replays as a clean finish after the newest stored group, with a warn log, so later readers keep the history (decision 1);
a recorded end past the newest stored group, which empty groups leave since they store no object, replays its last sequence as an empty group and any before it as dropped (decision 8);
a store failure aborts every served track with StreamError::Internal, and a consumer dropped or stopped by the broadcast closing cancels the tracks it still serves live, the open group included, so no reader sees a dropped producer.
It reads version 2 and version 3 recordings, like the Reader it replaces: version 2 stored .info's priority as the moq-lite byte and objects are otherwise identical. Store refuses to append to a version 2 recording.
The old timeline store, path, and segment code and reader/ are deleted; Info refuses the old epoch member.
moq import archive <url> replays one recorded broadcast through the Consumer. --follow is replaced by --refresh.
The moq-hls archive tests return, recording through Producer and replaying through Consumer: playlists read only the timelines, a segment GETs only its own rendition's objects, gaps and discontinuities, a bounded cache, a growing recording, and the playlist window.
Docs (doc/bin/cli.md, doc/bin/hls.md) and the moq-archive README are updated.
Breaking for moq-archive and the moq CLI. Wire: none; the store layout is what Producer already writes.
moq_archive::Consumer and consumer::Config are added. Reader and the reader module are removed: build a Store over the recording's <broadcast>/@<epoch> prefix, call Consumer::open(store, broadcast, config), announce the broadcast, then run() it. Every stored track exists once open returns; there is no finish, since the producer's end markers end the replay.
Store::timelines is removed, along with the timeline recording format it listed. Store keeps only new and prefix; keep your own ObjectStore handle for listing or cleanup.
Error::Span and Error::Directory are removed; update exhaustive matches.
Info refuses an epoch member, which only an older Writer stored.
CLI: import archive takes one recorded broadcast, <url>/<broadcast>/@<epoch>, and no longer reads timeline recordings made by older moq versions. --follow <interval> is removed: a recording still growing is always followed, and --refresh <interval> (default 1s) sets how often it is listed.
Decisions
Settled earlier on this PR (maintainer, 2026-10-23):
An errored track end ({"error":code}): aborting the track would refuse its history to later readers.
abort (loses history);
✅ clean finish plus a warn log now, and a moq-net end that carries an error but still serves history as a follow-up: quest/m2/errored-end.md;
abort only after the last group.
Time(pts) resolution is not wired, since a fill cannot carry an unresolved time anchor yet.
Picked as recommended by an unattended session, for review:
Version 2 recordings:
✅ Consumer reads version 2 .info and objects, as Reader did, and Store refuses to append to them;
read only version 3.
Store's surface after moq-dev/moq#6517 trimmed it to new, prefix, and timelines:
✅ drop timelines with the format it listed, and keep inner, put_info, and get_info crate-private, so Store is only the handle a Producer records into and a Consumer serves from;
Fetching from mid-group, after moq-dev/moq#6465 made every application fetch start at a group's first frame:
✅ keep the consumer's frame-start handling for a route-change fill, and test only whole-group fetches, which is all the public API can ask;
drop the frame-start handling.
MIGRATE guides, after moq-dev/moq#6610 moved them to the breaking cut:
✅ drop this PR's MIGRATE entries, keep the migration in Impact above, and fix only the moq-cli sentence this PR made stale;
keep per-PR entries.
A recorded end past the newest stored group (empty groups store no object, and a local track's end settles only once its live edge reaches it):
✅ replay the sequence just below the end as an empty group, the one a source most often ended with, and drop any before it, at a cost independent of the gap;
write an empty group for every missing sequence (cost grows with a corrupt end marker);
make moq-net settle a local track's end over dropped groups, as track::Producer::drop_groups's doc already says, and drop the whole tail (crosses into moq-net).
Design checkpoint after four review rounds: the findings were all lifecycle edges (store outages, failure and close paths, the open group's ownership, an empty tail), each fixed locally with a regression test. Nothing in them argues against the approach.
✅ continue and land;
rethink the consumer.
Alternatives
Keep Reader beside Consumer: two readers for two formats, while nothing writes the old one anymore.
Suggested, not planned: moq-net's track::Producer::drop_groups says the declared end does not wait for dropped groups, but a local producer's end settles only once its live edge reaches it. Fixing that would let the consumer drop an empty tail whole (decision 8).
Suggested, not planned: moq-clifetch::tests::real_relay_matches_http_fetch reset its localhost connection once under cargo test load and passed alone and under nextest.
Suggested, not planned: an archive::Consumer benchmark against a real object store, sweeping tracks and refresh interval; its cost is LIST and GET round trips, which an in-memory mock would not measure.
Checks
Passed locally:
on e9d7968, every just check module the diff selects but flake (rs lint and the workspace test, 10289 tests; js; markdown; gh; quest; shell; toml), run through sh/dispatch.sh with flake removed, since its github-runner VM image needs unshare, which this sandbox refuses;
on the review fixes since: cargo test -p moq-archive --lib (70 tests), cargo nextest run -p moq-cli -p moq-hls, clippy -D warnings for moq-archive, moq-hls, and moq-cli with all targets, cargo fmt --check, and quest check --base origin/main. Each fix's regression test fails without it.
Not run: just test interop --all. Since moq-dev/moq#6171 landed, this PR changes no wire, moq-ffi, or gateway code.
A pre-lite-05 relay held a fill for the live feed by expanding it into one
held request per group, so a peer that made a miss wide (a feed starting far
past a reader's floor) made the serve loop walk every sequence. A held fill
now waits on one group at a time and settles what the feed gave up by run,
judged against the cache and ledger. A reader whose fill ended unanswered
likewise settles the run instead of each sequence.
A declared end ahead of the live edge no longer ends the feed for misses:
until the edge reaches it, a group below it may still arrive.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`track_fill` sweeps readers missing the same runs below the feed's start,
each run asked as one fill they share. It showed each run costing more the
more runs a reader held: judging a run's staleness looked up its successor,
and with several ranges that walked every range past it, all empty. The
search now leapfrogs the ranges and the cache, so a range holding nothing
costs one lookup. Per run, 1024 runs now cost about 1.4x what 64 do, down
from about 5x. Judging a hole also reads only the claims that overlap it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A reader judges each sequence once, so a group evicted after it was
judged cached is skipped rather than filled. Say so in the docs, and
plan the refill with per-reader eviction tracking and a thrash guard.

Adapt fills to main's error-carrying drops (#6143): a fill's local drop
records its error, a cursor's given-up misses are named NOT_FOUND without
overwriting a known reason, and a held legacy fill rejects the group it
waited on with the error it was given up with. FetchServeRun takes the
track info (#6107), and the C dynamic handler keeps main's finished
broadcasts (#6157).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A fill answering several groups before the reader came back handed them
out lowest first, so a descending reader with a warm cache read history
oldest first. Pick the next filled group in the subscription's order.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Draft until #6171 lands. Then this merges main. Open decisions are listed in the description: error-end semantics, and Time(pts) resolution deferred to quest/m2/archive-time-ranges.md.
Keeps main's ietf subscriber (#6348 joins pre-draft-20 subscriptions at the
live group and refuses a multi-group joining fill) and serves track fills on
top of it; signed priorities (#6142) reach Fill; the ledger moved to the crate
root (#5878, #6111). The miss judge reads the live arrival grace rather than
the ledger's stored one, which stays at its 1s default until a gap folds.
Also answers review: a fetch of u64::MAX fails at once rather than parking on
a handler no fill can ask, Subscription::start builds without `async`, and the
MIGRATE guides no longer call GroupDemand or group::Request unchanged.

Stream split groups without retaining every object's payload
When a recorded group spans many objects, this loop retains an Arc<Object> for every continuation before accepting the fill or writing any frames. Those references keep all payloads alive even after the byte-bounded cache evicts them, so fetching a sufficiently large group can exhaust process memory regardless of Config::cache. The producer splits oversized groups across objects rather than bounding their total size, making this possible with valid recordings. Serve and release the objects incrementally instead of accumulating the entire group before delivery.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Declining. Streaming would not lower peak memory: the frames written into the served group::Producer are zero-copy Bytes slices of the same object buffers, so the served group keeps those payloads alive either way, and moq-net already bounds a group at MAX_CACHE_BYTES (32 MB) and MAX_GROUP_FRAMES, which bounds every group a Producer recorded. Loading every continuation before accept is what lets a missing continuation drop the group cleanly instead of accepting it and then aborting it partway.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Refuse transient GET failures without permanently dropping the group
If an object GET fails temporarily, such as after the backend exhausts its retries on a service outage, this branch calls fill.drop_groups even though the object still exists. That API records the group as permanently unavailable in the track, so subsequent readers cannot fetch it after the backend recovers. Reserve permanent drops for objects confirmed missing; use fill.refuse_groups with an appropriate error for temporary store failures so later requests can ask again.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Agreed. Fixed in a9f0e23: only an object the store reports missing is dropped (and forgotten from the index); any other GET failure refuses the group with StreamError::Internal, so a later reader asks again. New test a_failed_get_refuses_its_group_for_now fails without the fix.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Preserve the removed follow flag as a rejected deprecated argument
Existing invocations using import archive --follow now lose the migration diagnostic because ImportArgs removes the old argument entirely. The Semver rule in rs/AGENTS.md explicitly requires a renamed flag to remain hidden and be reported through the section's deprecated() into moq_tokio::cli::Deprecated, rejecting startup while naming its replacement. Keep follow as that rejected hidden argument and direct users to --refresh, without retaining the old behavior.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Declining. The rs/AGENTS.md rule covers released spellings, and import archive has never shipped: rs/moq-cli/src/archive.rs does not exist on release, so no released invocation uses --follow. A stray --follow still fails startup as an unknown flag (unknown_flags = "error"), and the PR Impact names --refresh for anyone on main.
The Consumer direction is sound: one recording format, per-track listing cursors, explicit completion markers and dynamic history fills are simpler than retaining the old timeline Reader. Round-trip and HLS coverage addresses useful integration boundaries.
Confirmed existing findings, referenced rather than duplicated:
Split-group memory retention, rs/moq-archive/src/consumer/track.rs:160–173: collecting all continuation objects before delivering frames keeps payloads alive outside the bounded cache. Consume/release incrementally. #6262 (comment)
Transient failures become permanent drops, consumer/track.rs:174–181: reserve drop_groups for confirmed absence; use refuse_groups for temporary GET failures so later readers can retry. #6262 (comment)
Removed flag diagnostic, rs/moq-cli/src/archive.rs:43–46: retain --follow as a hidden, rejected deprecated argument pointing to --refresh, as required by rs/AGENTS.md. #6262 (comment)
No additional actionable findings beyond those threads. Static review of the diff and relevant track/fill/cache semantics; tests inspected but not run.
…ing it
A store outage is not the archive losing the object, so a later reader asks
again once the store recovers. Only an object the store no longer has is
dropped.

Abort served producers before returning a refresh error
When a growing archive's LIST or GET fails, refreshed? returns from run and drops every served track, including the unfinished group deliberately held in Live::open. group::Producer::drop then aborts that group with Error::Dropped, so existing subscribers receive a producer-lifecycle error rather than the store failure that ended playback. Errors from apply take the same path. Explicitly abort the open groups and tracks with an appropriate concrete error before returning; rs/AGENTS.md requires unfinished producers to propagate their actual failure instead of exposing Dropped.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Agreed. Fixed in 003a088: when serving fails (a refresh or apply error, or open failing partway), every served track and its open newest group are aborted with StreamError::Internal before run returns. New test a_store_failure_aborts_the_served_tracks fails without it (dropped). A fill never holds a group::Producer across an await, so cancelling in-flight fills leaves no group behind.
Fixed: consumer/track.rs:174–187 distinguishes missing objects from other GET failures, using refuse_groups for temporary failures. The outage/recovery regression checks a later fetch can succeed.
Corrections to my previous review:
I withdraw the split-group memory finding as stated. Existing 32 MiB/8192-frame group limits constrain producer-recorded groups, and streaming zero-copy payloads would not remove their retention by the served group. #6262 (comment)
I withdraw the --follow migration objection for this unreleased command; archive.rs is absent from release and unknown flags already fail startup. #6262 (comment)
The focused retry fix is appropriate without extra complexity. No new actionable bugs found. Verification: static inspection only; tests inspected, not run.
A refresh or apply error used to drop every served track, the open newest
group included, so readers saw a dropped producer. They are now aborted
with an internal stream error, also when `open` fails partway.

Abort unfinished producers on broadcast closure
When the host calls broadcast.close() while following a growing archive, this branch returns successfully, so run skips self.abort() and drops the unfinished tracks and newest groups. Closing a broadcast does not close tracks already handed to subscribers (broadcast::Producer::close explicitly leaves those running), so existing readers receive Error::Dropped instead of an explicit cancellation or closure error. End the served producers explicitly on this successful shutdown path too, as required by the producer lifecycle rule in rs/AGENTS.md.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Agreed. Fixed in 15ac5cb: Consumer now implements Drop, cancelling (Error::Cancel) every track still live, the open newest group included, unless the archive already ended as recorded. That covers the broadcast closing, run's future being dropped, and open failing; a store failure still aborts with StreamError::Internal first. New test closing_the_broadcast_cancels_the_live_tracks fails without it (dropped).
Compared with a9f0e23. The centralized abort path and refresh-failure regression are useful improvements.
The existing failure-propagation finding is fixed for refresh failures, but an apply-error case remains: rs/moq-archive/src/consumer/track.rs:79–82 takes self.open before checking the continuation frame offset. If open.next != first, the detached group is dropped with Error::Dropped before Consumer::abort reaches Live::abort, where self.open is already None. A missing continuation in a growing/pruned archive can take this path. Validate before taking ownership, or explicitly abort the detached group; add an offset-mismatch regression checking Internal rather than Dropped. This is a remaining case of #6262 (comment), not a new unrelated finding.
…stops
Closing the broadcast, or dropping the consumer, used to drop every track
still live, so readers saw a dropped producer. Dropping a consumer whose
archive has not ended now cancels them, the open newest group included.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fixed: broadcast-closure finding #6262 (comment). Consumer::Drop explicitly cancels unfinished tracks and retained open groups on successful shutdown or future cancellation; ended archives remain finished, and store failures retain Internal. The new regression checks the group reader receives Cancel.
Still open, unchanged: the detached-group offset-mismatch case in my previous review #6262 (review), consumer/track.rs:79–82. Drop cannot reach a group already removed from self.open and dropped inside entry.
Centralized cleanup is a simpler, appropriate direction. No additional actionable findings in this delta. Static inspection only; tests inspected, not run.
…itten
A continuation that skipped frames, or a write that failed, took the open
group out before failing, so it was dropped rather than aborted with the
track. It now stays in `open` until written.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Re the offset-mismatch case in review 5641771384: agreed, fixed in 5eb0ba9. Live::entry checks the continuation's frame offset before touching the open group, and a new group goes into open before start_at or any write, so any failure aborts it with the track instead of dropping it. New test a_gapped_continuation_aborts_the_open_group fails without it (dropped).
Fixed: the remaining detached-group finding #6262 (review). Live::entry keeps the producer in self.open during continuation validation and writes, including initialization before start_at, so failure cleanup can explicitly abort it. The new gapped-continuation regression checks that the existing reader receives Internal rather than Dropped.
This ownership change is simpler and closes the outstanding case from my previous review. No new actionable bugs found in this delta. Static inspection only; tests inspected, not run.

Settle completed tracks whose recorded tail has no frames
When a recording ends with an empty group, the recorder stores no object for that group but still preserves the source's final position. For example, a nonempty group 0 followed by an empty group 1 produces stored frames only for group 0 and an end at group 2. Calling finish_at(2) does not complete the replay: TrackState::is_complete waits for the live edge to reach that boundary, while this consumer retains both producer handles and stops refreshing after .end. Consequently, subscribers can drain the recorded frames but wait indefinitely for end-of-stream. Explicitly settle the missing terminal sequences when applying the recorded end, while preserving history fills.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Agreed, reproduced (the replay hung after the last stored group). Fixed in b873079: after finish_at, the sequence just below the recorded end replays as an empty finished group, the empty group a source most often ends with, and any sequences between the newest stored one and it are dropped through track::Producer::drop_groups. That costs the same however far a corrupt end marker points. a_completed_archive_ends_as_recorded now covers an end at group 4 with only group 0 stored.
A local producer's declared end does not settle on drop_groups alone, although its doc says the end does not wait for dropped groups. Settling the whole tail as dropped needs that moq-net change, which this PR leaves out.

Empty groups store no object, so a track that ended after one never let its
replay's live edge reach the recorded end, and readers waited forever. The
sequence just below the end replays as an empty group and any before it as
dropped.

Fixed: independently reported empty-tail completion hang #6262 (comment). consumer/track.rs tracks the live frontier, drops missing intermediate sequences, and finishes the terminal empty group so the recorded end can settle. The regression covers stored group 0 with an end at group 4 and verifies end-of-stream and final position.
Bounded tail handling is appropriate under the current track API without iterating over the missing sequence range. Previous fixes remain intact; no new actionable bugs found in this delta. Static inspection of the change and track completion semantics only; tests inspected, not run.

Bound the live-refresh batch before fetching its payloads
When a growing archive accumulates many objects between refreshes, such as with a long configured refresh interval or a slow backend, this loop retains every new object's payload until the entire refresh finishes. refreshed.pushes also retains the batches from previously processed tracks. These references bypass the byte-bounded object cache, and nothing reaches the broadcast's cache pool until apply runs, so even a host with both caches bounded can exhaust memory. Unlike assembling one split group, this batch spans independently evictable groups; deliver those incrementally through a bounded handoff rather than materializing the whole refresh.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Declining. A refresh only fetches the objects the producer stored since the previous refresh, so the batch is bounded by what the recording wrote over one refresh interval plus the refresh's own duration: a slow backend lengthens the next batch in proportion, it does not let it grow without bound. Opening an archive fetches only each track's newest object. Every byte in the batch then goes into the live track, as zero-copy slices of the same buffers, so applying it per object would lower the peak only by that one interval's media while making the refresh hand objects to tracks it does not own. The store is the operator's own recording, not peer input.
Re the CodeRabbit nitpick in review 5641818085 (an archive::Consumer Criterion benchmark): not in this PR. The consumer's cost is store round trips, one LIST per track per refresh and one GET per object, which an in-memory Criterion target would not measure; its per-track LIST is the layout the quest chose, so it grows with tracks by design. I listed a consumer benchmark against a real backend as a suggested follow-up rather than adding one over the mock.
Merged origin/main without rebasing. The consumer and tests now follow whole-group ranges (moq-dev/moq#6465) and the trimmed Store (moq-dev/moq#6517). The HLS archive tests were trimmed to the surviving export/import path.
Review fixes, each with a regression test that fails without it:
a GET that fails while the object is still listed refuses its group for now;
a store failure aborts the served tracks;
closing or dropping the consumer cancels the tracks it still serves live;
the open group stays in place while a continuation is written, and a gapped continuation errors;
a recorded end past the newest stored group settles.
Declined: split-group memory, --follow deprecation (never released), refresh-batch bounding, and an in-memory consumer benchmark. Each has a reply in its thread.
Decisions 3 to 9 in the PR body took the recommended option. Decision 9 is the design checkpoint: continue.

It serves a stored prefix as an ordinary broadcast, driven by the store's key listing:track::Dynamicfills from a byte-bounded LRU of stored objects (Config::cache, 64 MiB default), one GET per object however many groups it spans;Config::refresh(1s default) it lists added tracks and each track's new objects after its own cursor, and ends tracks as recorded once the prefix.endmarker appears; without it the archive stays live;{"error":code}) replays as a clean finish after the newest stored group, with a warn log, so later readers keep the history (decision 1);StreamError::Internal, and a consumer dropped or stopped by the broadcast closing cancels the tracks it still serves live, the open group included, so no reader sees a dropped producer.Readerit replaces: version 2 stored.info's priority as the moq-lite byte and objects are otherwise identical.Storerefuses to append to a version 2 recording.reader/are deleted;Inforefuses the oldepochmember.moq import archive <url>replays one recorded broadcast through the Consumer.--followis replaced by--refresh.Producerand replaying throughConsumer: playlists read only the timelines, a segment GETs only its own rendition's objects, gaps and discontinuities, a bounded cache, a growing recording, and the playlist window.doc/bin/cli.md,doc/bin/hls.md) and the moq-archive README are updated.Impact
Breaking for
moq-archiveand themoqCLI. Wire: none; the store layout is whatProduceralready writes.moq_archive::Consumerandconsumer::Configare added.Readerand thereadermodule are removed: build aStoreover the recording's<broadcast>/@<epoch>prefix, callConsumer::open(store, broadcast, config), announce the broadcast, thenrun()it. Every stored track exists onceopenreturns; there is nofinish, since the producer's end markers end the replay.Store::timelinesis removed, along with the timeline recording format it listed.Storekeeps onlynewandprefix; keep your ownObjectStorehandle for listing or cleanup.Error::SpanandError::Directoryare removed; update exhaustive matches.Inforefuses anepochmember, which only an olderWriterstored.import archivetakes one recorded broadcast,<url>/<broadcast>/@<epoch>, and no longer reads timeline recordings made by oldermoqversions.--follow <interval>is removed: a recording still growing is always followed, and--refresh <interval>(default 1s) sets how often it is listed.Decisions
Settled earlier on this PR (maintainer, 2026-10-23):
{"error":code}): aborting the track would refuse its history to later readers.Time(pts)resolution is not wired, since a fill cannot carry an unresolved time anchor yet.archive-dvrrequires;Picked as recommended by an unattended session, for review:
Consumerreads version 2.infoand objects, asReaderdid, andStorerefuses to append to them;Store's surface after moq-dev/moq#6517 trimmed it tonew,prefix, andtimelines:timelineswith the format it listed, and keepinner,put_info, andget_infocrate-private, soStoreis only the handle aProducerrecords into and aConsumerserves from;put_infopublic again.Reader:ProducerandConsumer, keeping the tests that still apply and dropping the history and range playlist tests, whose features refactor(media)!: trim the media crate surface (m1 api-audit) #6517 removed;track::Producer::drop_groups's doc already says, and drop the whole tail (crosses into moq-net).Alternatives
ReaderbesideConsumer: two readers for two formats, while nothing writes the old one anymore.Follow-ups
Time(pts)anchors resolved from the key listing.track::Producer::drop_groupssays the declared end does not wait for dropped groups, but a local producer's end settles only once its live edge reaches it. Fixing that would let the consumer drop an empty tail whole (decision 8).moq-clifetch::tests::real_relay_matches_http_fetchreset its localhost connection once undercargo testload and passed alone and under nextest.archive::Consumerbenchmark against a real object store, sweeping tracks and refresh interval; its cost is LIST and GET round trips, which an in-memory mock would not measure.Checks
