Plans a fix for Nightly's "WebSocket fallback startup benchmark" step (just js qmux-bench). It has timed out on its handshake every night since 2026-11-07, which fails the Audio quality job and hides real audio results. Found while grading 2026-11-09 for moq-dev/moq#8309.

Changes

• New quest/m0/nightly/qmux-bench-handshake.md [S] under Nightly passes on main. It records the regression window fbef872..b580585 (passed 11-05 and 11-06, failed 11-07 to 11-09) and three suspects to check first: moq-dev/moq#8054, #8021, and #8078.

Decisions

• ✅ Plan an m0/nightly quest (rejected: plan it and also disable the step now; leave it). Broken Nightly joins m0 by the questline's rule.

Checks

• quest check: pass.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head: 78a2143

No actionable findings in the two quest documents.

Verified the benchmark step passed on the November 5–6 scheduled runs and failed on November 7–9; all three failing logs contain the cited Playwright handshake timeout. The November 6/7 run heads match the proposed 120-commit window, and all three candidate PRs are inside it.

Direction: reproduce and bisect this specific handshake failure, then fix its cause. The named PRs are useful hypotheses, not established culprits. The plan leaves the benchmark enabled as the recorded maintainer decision requires and changes no runtime behavior.

Limits: GitHub-only review of the plan, workflow, benchmark source, run metadata, and relevant logs. I did not reproduce the failure locally, bisect, run tests or quest checks, or establish the root cause. COMMENT only, not approval.

Important

This plan predates a fix already in its base: #8351 merged on 2026-11-09 and resolved the handshake timeout this quest plans to investigate, so the quest re-plans work that was just completed.

Reviewed changes

• New quest quest/m0/nightly/qmux-bench-handshake.md — plans the investigation of Nightly's just js qmux-bench handshake timeout, recording the 11-07 regression window (fbef872b..b5805859, 120 commits) and three suspects.
• Epic bullet quest/m0/nightly/README.md — adds the new child to the epic's ## Required list.

#8351 already fixed this and named the culprit, so the Plan sends its implementer through a finished investigation. It merged 2026-11-09T19:27Z and is in this PR's base (ac3cb8c): js/net/bench/qmux.ts now accepts each socket with Session.accept so the fake peer sends transport parameters, and its ## Caused by names #8054, the first suspect below. It also deleted quest/m0/nightly/qmux-bench-peer.md, a quest planned from the same two runs (42377867523, 42487375545) this file cites, plus its README bullet.

Technical details

# Stale plan: the cause is already fixed by #8351

## Affected sites
- `quest/m0/nightly/qmux-bench-handshake.md:17` — the suspects list leads with #8054, already confirmed as the culprit in #8351's `## Caused by`.
- `quest/m0/nightly/qmux-bench-handshake.md:23` — "reproduce ... bisect the window if no suspect explains it" repeats the diagnosis #8351 already did.
- `quest/m0/nightly/README.md:54` — the bullet re-adds the child #8351 deleted.

## Required outcome
- The quest stops re-planning the investigation, or the PR is dropped. The cause is fixed on `main`; the only unverified piece is the next scheduled Nightly, which the epic README's own "Confirm a scheduled run on `main` passes" already owns.
- If the intent is to confirm #8351's fix rather than re-investigate, say so and point at the next scheduled run, and drop the three suspects.

## Open questions for the human
- Was this plan kept deliberately after #8351 landed? The body's `## Decisions` does not mention it.

[pullfrog]

## Models records Size: XS, but the quest title and the body's own Changes list say [S]; the quest CONTEXT defines the Models size as the quest's size. One of the two needs to change so the implementer run is sized correctly.

Walkthrough

The Nightly README now lists the WebSocket fallback benchmark handshake timeout and its reported effect on the Audio quality job. A new planning document describes the recurring failures, suspected regression window, candidate changes, and proposed reproduction and investigation steps.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 78a21

The plan may lead to repeated investigation of an already-fixed timeout. Update it to track Nightly confirmation.

PR #8351 already identified #8054 as the cause and fixed the fake peer. The fix is present in this revision. Reproducing and bisecting the original failure would repeat completed work. (github.com)

Link the existing fix and make the remaining task confirmation on a scheduled Nightly, or remove this duplicate quest.
