Closes #8451

Summary

A client's first walk of the peer's addresses now fails fast: if no address yields a MoQ session, the connection ends with that walk's error instead of retrying. Once a session has been established, later failures back off and retry as before: each failed handshake grows the delay, and a session that stays up for Backoff::healthy (1 s by default) resets it, so relay restarts and redeploys still recover. Address fallback within the first walk still runs.

• Rust (rs/moq-net/src/reconnect.rs): Reconnect gains a private established flag, set in connected; walk_failed ends the policy while it is unset. Verdict is untouched; quest/m2/reconnect-no-error-kinds.md deletes its error-kind matching.
• JS (js/net/src/connection/reload.ts): the same rule, keyed on the configured URL. A page hide/show or disable/re-enable keeps it; a new URL needs its own first session. A first-attempt auth refusal still redials once tokens change, including a change that landed mid-dial.
• moq-ffi and every wrapper inherit it through moq-tokio. Docs and tests are updated in Rust, C, Go, Python, Kotlin, Swift, Dart, OBS, and GStreamer.
• Version-mismatch logs, reproduced with the issue's commands (moq-relay --listen-version moq-lite-07-wip against moq on its default versions):
  • Relay: WARN moq_net::setup: client shares no MoQ version with this server offered=["moq-lite-06", ..., "moq-lite-01"] accepted=["moq-lite-07-wip"]
  • Client: WARN moq_net::client: version negotiation failed; the server may accept none of the offered versions err=cancelled offered=[...]. The client then exits at once instead of looping.
• TLA+: Handover.tla models the rule (Established, with Failed and Abandon ending the policy before a first session) and adds the FirstWalkFailsFast invariant. Handover.cfg passes at about 1.24M distinct states and RestartWait.cfg at about 237k. The two open-finding configs still fail on their documented findings. A mutation that lets Failed back off before a first session trips FirstWalkFailsFast.

Impact

Behavior change, with no signature changes: Reconnect, moq_tokio::Connection, JS Reload/Connection, and every moq-ffi binding now end on a first walk that reaches no session.

• A client started before its relay is reachable now exits, so its supervisor or app has to restart it. Examples: a compose stack, a phone launching offline, a browser tab opened offline, a GStreamer pipeline.
• This reverses moq-dev/moq#2212 for the first connect only: moqsink/moqsrc now post an ERROR when the relay is unreachable at startup. The test connect_failure_retries_without_erroring becomes a_failed_first_connect_errors_without_retrying.
• The OBS output fails the stream start (OBS_OUTPUT_CONNECT_FAILED) when the first connect fails.
• Cluster peer links are unaffected in practice: their outer redial loop already retries forever around each connection.

Migration: a caller that relied on the first dial retrying restarts the connection itself when it ends before ever connecting.

Wire: none.

Choices made without asking

• "Established" is per connection in Rust, per configured URL in JS. A JS Reload outlives URL changes, so a new URL can be a new setup mistake.
• The client's log is a heuristic. It warns on any failure during the SETUP version exchange, not only a confirmed mismatch.
• The client's error still reads cancelled. The relay closes the WebTransport session with the version code (0x15), but its SETUP stream's reset (code 0) reaches the client before the CLOSE_WEBTRANSPORT_SESSION capsule. I tried having the relay close the session before releasing its streams: that won the race only sometimes, so I reverted it. See the follow-up below.
• The verify-reconnect skill's sync commit is unchanged. The model describes this branch's code, but the merged SHA doesn't exist yet. I added the rule and coverage rows to the skill's tables.
• Tests that exercised retry machinery now establish a session first (Rust, JS, moq-tokio), so they still cover post-session retry. Tests that were specifically about the first dial assert the new outcome and were renamed.

Suggested follow-ups

• Plan: make the peer's close reason always reach a WebTransport client. Today a client's final error reads cancelled because the SETUP stream's reset beats the close capsule. In moq-tokio, reset a closed session's streams with WT_SESSION_GONE, and have a client that reads WT_SESSION_GONE wait for the capsule. That also helps every other handshake refusal.
• Drop: a typed version-mismatch error. The maintainer rejected error kinds in moq-dev/moq#8451.

Caused by

No single PR. Retrying from the first dial is as old as the reconnect loop.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit 4f4d52f.

No actionable regressions found in the first-walk fail-fast change. Rust retains fallback between addresses and permits a new dial when refused credentials were replaced; established sessions retain their existing retry policy. JS surfaces initial failures through error, evicts stopped pooled entries, and preserves credential-refresh recovery. Wrapper tests and migration documentation reflect the intentional startup behavior change.

Overall direction: coherent, provided callers that previously depended on startup retries restart the connection themselves. The client version-mismatch warning remains explicitly heuristic rather than a typed diagnosis. GitHub currently reports merge conflicts.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the production reconnect, setup/logging and JS lifecycle changes, related wrapper/tests/docs and model updates. No builds, tests, TLC runs or cross-language execution performed; reported results were not independently reproduced.

[pullfrog]

ℹ️ No functional issues found. One doc gap on the public reconnect contract.

Reviewed changes

• Fail-fast first walk (Rust): Reconnect gains established, set in connected; walk_failed ends the policy with that walk's error until a session exists, with a refusal of since-replaced tokens as the one exception.
• Fail-fast first attempt (JS): Reload tracks #establishedHref, stops a URL on an attempt failure before a session, and still redials a refusal once tokens differ from #dialedTokens.
• Version-mismatch logs: the server logs offered and accepted versions in setup::Client::select; the client warns on a failed SETUP exchange.
• Wrappers and tests: moq-ffi/C/Go/Python/Kotlin/Swift/Dart/OBS/GStreamer docs and tests assert the new first-connect outcome, and tests that covered retry machinery establish a session first.
• Model: Handover.tla adds Established, gates Failed/Abandon on it, and adds FirstWalkFailsFast.

ℹ️ The public JS reconnect docs still promise a first dial that retries

js/net/src/connection/pool.ts:114 tells users "The loop reconnects for as long as a handle holds it, so an outage of any length recovers on its own", which this PR makes false for a URL whose first attempt never establishes; the Connection.error doc at :159 also lists only auth rejection, an expired private window, and an unsupported version, missing the new and common first-attempt failure. The internal Reload docs were updated but this is the surface users read. The give-up enumerations in rs/moq-tokio/src/connection.rs:1254 (established()) and rs/moq-ffi/src/session.rs:945 (closed()) likewise omit the first walk.

Technical details

# Update the public reconnect docs for the fail-fast first dial

## Affected sites
- `js/net/src/connection/pool.ts:114-117` — "The loop reconnects for as long as a handle holds it, so an outage of any length recovers on its own" predates `Reload.#establishedHref`: a handle opened while the relay is unreachable now stops with `error` instead of recovering.
- `js/net/src/connection/pool.ts:159-164` — `Connection.error`'s causes omit a first attempt for the current URL failing.
- `rs/moq-tokio/src/connection.rs:1254-1257` — `established()` names an auth failure or one-shot mode as the give-up cases; the first walk reaching no session is now the usual one.
- `rs/moq-ffi/src/session.rs:945-948` — `MoqSession::closed` says `Err` arrives when "it gave up (retries exhausted, or the session's close reason with reconnecting disabled)", while `connect()` in the same file already documents the first-dial case.

## Required outcome
- Each surface states that backoff and retrying apply only after a session has been established for that URL, and that a first walk or first attempt reaching no session ends the connection with its error.
- `Connection.error` lists a first attempt for a URL failing among its causes.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Reuse the wording already added to `Reload`'s class doc and `MoqClient::connect`: once a session has been established, later failures back off and retry, while the first attempt for a URL fails fast.

Walkthrough

A failed initial address walk now ends with its error when no session has been established. A refusal can trigger another dial when credentials changed during that attempt. Failures after session establishment continue to use retry and backoff behavior. The changes update Rust and JavaScript connection logic, binding tests, runtime integration tests, reconnect verification, and client documentation. Rust version-selection and SETUP failures also gain warning logs.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Low · up to c7200

The change makes a client's first failed dial terminal, and this behavior is consistently documented. The remaining gap is small: the user documentation for moq-net may not mention that a refusal after a credential change still redials. This is a doc-only wording issue, so merging is low risk.

Explanation

Issue #8451 requires version diagnostics and termination when no offered version matches. rs/moq-net/src/setup.rs logs offered and accepted before returning Error::Version. rs/moq-net/src/client.rs adds a SETUP failure warning with offered versions. Reconnect ends a first walk without an established session, and the PR adds coverage for this behavior.

Explanation

The description directly explains the first-dial fail-fast behavior, post-establishment reconnect behavior, version-mismatch logging, affected components, tests, documentation, and migration impact covered by the changeset.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR applies first-walk termination to every failure that reaches no session, except renewed credentials. This includes DNS and other transient dial failures. Issue #8451 describes DNS retry as defensible because DNS can recover. The linked requirement targets a non-overlapping version answer, not a general change to all initial connection failures. Wrapper changes, documentation, and tests support this broader policy but do not expand its scope.

Resolution

Constrain first-walk fail-fast behavior to the permanent refusal cases required by #8451, or link an active requirement that authorizes terminating all pre-establishment failures. Preserve retry behavior for recoverable failures such as DNS errors.

State the credential-renewal exception in the user documentation.

The line says a first walk with no session always ends with its error. The code has one exception. A first walk refused for tokens that were replaced since the dial still redials. The path instructions require that a doc claim state its conditions and the paths it does not cover. Add a short clause, for example: "unless a refusal follows a token change."

Proposed change

-if it yields no session, the policy ends with that walk's error instead of retrying, so a setup mistake
+if it yields no session, the policy ends with that walk's error instead of retrying (a refusal after the tokens changed still redials), so a setup mistake

374-388: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

The model omits the credential-renewal exception that the code implements.

In Reconnect::walk_failed, a first-walk Refused failure with changed tokens does not end the policy. It queues Retrying and backs off before any session exists. The Failed action here ends the policy for every pre-establishment failure. The FirstWalkFailsFast invariant also forbids backoff before establishment. The header comment on Established and the SKILL.md rule name this exception, and the "Not covered" section already lists tokens and Verdict::Refused as out of scope. The model is therefore consistent with its stated scope.

Add one sentence to the Failed comment. It should say that the renewal exception is not modeled. This stops a reader from taking FirstWalkFailsFast as a statement about the code path.

• Documented the replaced-credentials exception: MoqClient::connect, MoqBackoff, and moq-net's Backoff now state that a first walk refused for tokens replaced since that dial read them backs off and redials instead of ending the policy, matching Reconnect::walk_failed's renewed = verdict == Verdict::Refused && changed(presented).
• Regenerated the Dart UniFFI bindings: dart/moq_ffi/lib/src/moq.dart moves the moqclient_connect checksum to 30086 for the docstring change; sh/dart/check.sh compares checked-in bindings against freshly generated ones, so CI covers the value.

ℹ️ No new issues in this delta. The only change since the last review is a merge of origin/main, so this is not an approval: the earlier public-docs gap is untouched.

Reviewed changes

• Merged origin/main into the branch: e7a039521 brings origin/main (529fa6a) up to date; every PR-owned file (reconnect.rs, reload.ts, setup.rs, client.rs, moq-tokio, moq-ffi, the wrapper tests/docs, and the TLA+ models) is byte-identical to c7200d9c2, and the merge reverted no main change.
• Quest bookkeeping settled against main: quest/m1/README.md drops out of the PR patch (main's #8467 already carries that refresh) and quest/m1/reconnect-fail-fast.md stays deleted with no dangling links; quest/m2/reconnect-no-error-kinds.md now names Reconnect::established instead of linking it.

ℹ️ The public reconnect docs still promise a first dial that retries

js/net/src/connection/pool.ts:114 still says "an outage of any length recovers on its own", which is false for a URL whose first attempt never establishes a session. Connection.error at :159 omits that cause, and the give-up enumerations in rs/moq-tokio/src/connection.rs (established()) and rs/moq-ffi/src/session.rs (closed()) still name only auth failures, one-shot mode, and retries exhausted. This was raised on the previous review and is unchanged by this merge; it is the only reason this review does not approve.

Technical details

# Update the public reconnect docs for the fail-fast first dial

## Affected sites
- `js/net/src/connection/pool.ts:114-117` — "The loop reconnects for as long as a handle holds it, so an outage of any length recovers on its own" predates `Reload.#establishedHref`: a handle opened while the relay is unreachable now stops with `error` instead of recovering.
- `js/net/src/connection/pool.ts:159-164` — `Connection.error`'s cause list omits a first attempt for the current URL failing.
- `rs/moq-tokio/src/connection.rs:1254-1258` — `established()` says the first dial surfaces its error "e.g. on an auth failure or in one-shot mode"; the first walk reaching no session is now the usual case.
- `rs/moq-ffi/src/session.rs:944-950` — `MoqSession::closed` says `Err` arrives when "it gave up (retries exhausted, or the session's close reason with reconnecting disabled)", while `MoqClient::connect` in the same file documents the first-dial outcome.

## Required outcome
- Each surface states that backoff and retrying apply only after a session has been established for that URL, and that a first walk or first attempt reaching no session ends the connection with its error.
- `Connection.error` lists a first attempt for a URL failing among its causes.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Reuse the wording already added to `Reload`'s class doc and `MoqClient::connect`.
