Problem

HTTP admissions spawned a detached task per request, and attaching stats spawned its publisher on the ambient Tokio runtime.

Decisions

Decided 2026-11-03 (maintainer, /quest-unblock), choosing how stats are constructed now that the publisher runs in the cluster's Driver:

• ✅ Move cluster stats configuration into cluster::Options and remove Cluster::with_stats. Construction adds the stats publisher directly to the driver. That removes the handoff queue, the two locks per driver poll, and the panic after the driver drops.
• Keep Cluster::with_stats and its queue. Not chosen.

Settled earlier: the caller waiting on an admission owns its HTTP request (maintainer, 2026-11-01, D3 on moq-dev/moq#7519), rather than a long-lived decider supervisor.

Approach

• Let the admission answer own and poll the HTTP request. Dropping the wait cancels the exchange; embedded/public decisions, verification slots, and end-event ordering keep their behavior.
• cluster::Options gains stats: stats::Config (with Options::with_stats). Cluster::new builds the producer on its own origin, keeps it, and pushes the publisher onto the driver's kio::Tasks like the origin driver and cache governor. A publisher panic uses the driver's critical-child error path.
• Relay::stats reads the producer from the cluster instead of keeping its own copy.
• Test runtime-free construction, an invalid stats config failing Cluster::new, driver drop ending publication, and both HTTP cancellation paths. Extend the admission benchmark to HTTP auth servers, with bounded socket usage and immediate failure if a held admission completes during setup.
• Replace the embedded decider's unbounded channel with a shared queue. Each admission carries a waiting flag, and its answer future carries an Abandon guard. Admissions::next claims the flag on handout and skips admissions whose session stopped waiting. Dropping a waiter clears the flag and counts one give-up. Once give-ups since the last sweep reach half the queue, it sweeps out the abandoned entries. So abandoned admissions stay at most half the queue after each give-up, whatever a past burst was and whether or not anything is pushed later. A sweep costs the queue's length, paid for by the give-ups before it. A slow or stalled embedder holds memory only for sessions still waiting. Dropping Admissions still fails queued and later sessions as unavailable, and next still ends once every Auth clone is gone. This was CodeRabbit's finding; it predates this PR, but the PR touches that code. The give-up sweep replaced an earlier push-time threshold, which OpenAI's review showed kept a fully cancelled burst queued once later traffic stayed light.
• Delete the finished quest quest/m1/poll-first/no-spawn/admissions.md and its links. Its last commit before deletion records the decision above in its Plan.

Impact

Breaking for moq-relay embedders that build a Cluster themselves:

• Cluster::with_stats is removed. Pass the stats config to Cluster::new through cluster::Options::with_stats (or the stats field) instead.
• stats::Config::build is now crate-private; Cluster::new calls it.
• An invalid stats config (zero interval, bad prefix or node) now fails Cluster::new.
• Read the registry from cluster.stats. Relay::stats still returns the producer.
• Publishing runs only while the cluster's driver is polled (Relay::run does) and stops when the driver drops. Building stats needs no Tokio runtime.

// Before
let (cluster, driver) = Cluster::new(options)?;
let (stats, publisher) = stats_config.build(cluster.origin.clone())?;
let cluster = cluster.with_stats(stats, publisher);

// After
let (cluster, driver) = Cluster::new(options.with_stats(stats_config))?;

rs/moq-relay/MIGRATE.md carries the same notes, and the embedding docs (doc/bin/relay/index.md) describe the lifecycle. For embedders using Auth::embedded, Admissions::next no longer yields an admission whose session already stopped waiting. Before, the embedder still received it and could only answer into a closed reply. Admission HTTP work runs in its waiter's session scope, including panic propagation and cancellation. No wire changes; moq-relay CLI and config are unchanged.

Alternatives

Kept the settled caller-owned admission request instead of restoring a long-lived decider supervisor. Reused Publisher::run through the existing child adapter without adding a poll API. Kept the queue-based with_stats only until the maintainer picked construction-time configuration.

Remaining spawns

The cluster's remaining spawns run test-edge root drivers and peers. ACME renewal and certificate reload remain separate critical services covered by the spawn audit. The io_uring handoff and web/shutdown/runtime edges remain as scoped by the no-spawn epic; moq-auth's lease drivers belong to a separate crate and are outside this admission-request change.

Validation

• Earlier head: quest gate nix develop --command just ci passed on a52ef10c36: 760 Rust tests plus all selected JavaScript and repository checks. The head adds only a conflict-free merge of origin/main (0eff070d67, moq-mux and moq-net test changes).
• Earlier head: cargo clippy -p moq-relay --all-targets --all-features --locked -- -D warnings and cargo test -p moq-relay --all-features --locked passed, including the new stats_build_without_a_runtime, invalid_stats_config_errors, stats_end_with_the_driver, and stats_publishing_lasts_with_the_cluster tests. All-features clippy caught an unfulfilled #![expect(clippy::disallowed_methods)] in the HTTP auth bench once its last tokio::time::sleep was gone; it is removed.
• quest gate nix develop --command just ci passed on 9f9b26f14a: 766 Rust tests, plus every selected JavaScript and repository check. cargo test -p moq-relay --all-features --locked --lib auth:: passes 63 tests.
• a_cancelled_burst_is_reclaimed_without_a_later_push queues 1,024 admissions, drops them all, and pushes nothing afterwards. Run against a2a5d1d571's auth.rs, it fails: all 1,024 stay queued. queued_embedded_admissions_survive_the_last_auth (CodeRabbit's suggestion) checks that next drains the queue before ending once the last Auth drops.
• Earlier head: quest gate nix develop --command just ci passed on a2a5d1d571: 764 Rust tests, plus every selected JavaScript and repository check. The queue tests added there are an_abandoned_embedded_admission_is_skipped, abandoned_embedded_admissions_are_pruned_without_a_decider, dropping_embedded_admissions_fails_waiting_and_later_sessions, and embedded_admissions_end_once_every_auth_is_gone. The HTTP cancellation test (dropping_an_admission_cancels_the_http_exchange) now drives Auth::admit, as CodeRabbit's nitpick asked.
• Earlier rounds: both runtime-free setup tests failed at the scoped spawns before the fix. The old benchmark hung under a 1024-fd limit; the fixed one completed all nine HTTP auth-server measurements under it (ulimit -n 1024; cargo bench --locked -p moq-relay --bench http_auth -- relay_http_auth_server --noplot).

Review

mechanical fix by quest land watch: merged main at 79055e3e95a01ea5905682488b3084448ad7036e with the quest merge driver (head 66ca7b1)

Codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, round 2 of the branch session, reviewed 9f9b26f14a31c6ef95c6f791f2b1abcb519b94c7 against origin/main (22504b2184): no findings.

That head addresses the online reviews of a2a5d1d571 and fe70b51db2:

• OpenAI, P2: fixed. pullfrog pushed fe70b51db2, which adds a waiting flag and an answer-side guard that triggers a sweep when a waiter drops. I verified it, kept the guard and the burst test, and simplified it in 333631b8e7. The guard counts every give-up, so the push-time threshold was redundant and is removed; the give-up sweep alone bounds the queue. OpenAI's re-review of fe70b51db2 found nothing new.
• CodeRabbit, nitpick (last Auth drop with queued admissions): fixed by adding the suggested test.
• CodeRabbit, nitpick (attach cancellation test): declined. The Server decider runs attach and connect inside one caller-owned future (rs/moq-relay/src/auth.rs Decider::decide), and the existing test drops that future. The in-band attach caller (rs/moq-relay/src/auth/refresh.rs dispatch) keeps it until the decider answers, on purpose, so it holds a verification slot. That future drops only with the session's refresh state. Testing it needs a fake server that grants a connect and then stalls the attach, and that only re-checks the same drop.

Earlier rounds: Codex round 1 of this session on a2a5d1d571 and Codex on 2d62362ebd found nothing. Claude Code (claude-opus-5-5, medium) on f1f490a02a fixed the HTTP/1.1 benchmark's file-descriptor exhaustion and raised the stats construction choice now settled under Decisions.

Reviewed commit: 2d62362.

No actionable findings. The admission answer now owns its HTTP exchange and dropping it cancels that work; embedded and public paths retain their result handling. Stats are constructed on the cluster's origin and driven with the cluster, with the producer held for its lifetime and construction failures propagated. The added tests cover cancellation, runtime-free construction and stats-driver lifetime.

Verification: static GitHub-only review, including refresh and connection boundaries. I did not run the test suite or benchmarks, or fault-inject an HTTP-handler panic.

Walkthrough

Stats configuration now passes through cluster::Options to Cluster::new. The cluster retains the stats producer and runs the publisher through its driver. Admission decisions now return answer futures, and dropping an answer can cancel server-side work. The HTTP auth benchmark covers embedded and server authentication modes. Tests, migration guidance, relay documentation, and quest notes were updated.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 66ca7

Abandoned embedded admissions are now reclaimed on cancellation. Stats configuration and publishing follow the cluster driver lifecycle; no concrete merge-blocking issue remains identified.

Bound or prune abandoned embedded admissions.

826-833: Minor · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Bound or prune abandoned embedded admissions.

Embedded admissions go to an unbounded channel (rs/moq-relay/src/auth.rs:902). When a waiter is dropped, its Admission stays queued until Admissions::next returns it. A slow embedder can let abandoned admissions accumulate without limit. The base revision uses the same channel, so this predates the PR.

ℹ️ No critical issues — one documentation gap below.

Reviewed changes

• Admissions poll in their waiter. Decider::Server no longer spawns a per-request isolate task; Answer is now the HTTP future itself, so dropping it cancels the exchange. refresh.rs settlement/capacity and the embedded oneshot path are preserved.
• Stats move into cluster::Options. Cluster::new builds the producer on its own origin, runs the publisher as a driver child, and keeps the only strong Producer; Cluster::with_stats and public stats::Config::build are gone. Publisher panics still reach Relay::run through Driver::poll → critical.fail.
• Docs, quest, and tests. doc/bin/relay/index.md and MIGRATE.md describe the new lifecycle; the finished admissions quest is deleted; new tests cover runtime-free construction, invalid config, driver-scoped publishing, cluster-scoped publishing, and HTTP cancellation.
• HTTP auth benchmark. Adds a real HTTP auth-server sweep alongside the embedded one, bounds the server sweep under 1024 fds, and fails setup if a held admission completes.

The prior review's two findings are not blocking: the unbounded embedded admission channel predates this PR, and the new cancellation test exercises the same Answer that Auth::admit awaits.

ℹ️ Cluster's type doc still describes stats as a with_* builder

The public struct-level documentation was not updated with the API change: rs/moq-relay/src/cluster.rs:1237 still tells embedders to attach a stats::Registry with the with_* builder methods, and Cluster::with_stats no longer exists. Stats now come from Options::with_stats, and the registry is derived from the producer.

Technical details

# Stale `Cluster` type documentation

## Affected sites
- `rs/moq-relay/src/cluster.rs:1237` — "Construct with `Cluster::new`, then attach a dial template and (optionally) a `stats::Registry` ... with the `with_*` builder methods. Those builders do not rebuild the origin."

## Required outcome
- The type doc describes the current construction path: `Options` carries identity, cache, and stats; `with_connect`/`with_advertise` remain the post-construction builders, and `cluster.stats` is the registry.

## Suggested approach
- Reword to point at `Options::with_stats` for stats and leave `with_connect` (and `with_advertise`) as the only `with_*` builders on `Cluster`.

Addressed in a2a5d1d:

• @pullfrog: The stale Cluster type doc is fixed (rs/moq-relay/src/cluster.rs). It now points at Options::with_stats for stats and at Cluster::stats for the registry. It names with_connect and with_advertise as the builders left on Cluster.
• @coderabbitai, minor (unbounded embedded admissions): Fixed here, since this PR touches that code. A shared queue replaces the unbounded channel. Admissions::next skips any admission whose session stopped waiting. A push prunes abandoned entries once the queue reaches twice the live count left by the last prune (at least 64), so a stalled embedder holds memory only in proportion to sessions still waiting. Dropping Admissions still fails queued and later sessions, and next still ends after the last Auth clone drops. Covered by four new tests in rs/moq-relay/src/auth.rs.
• @coderabbitai, nitpick (cover dropping Auth::admit): Fixed. The cancellation test is now dropping_an_admission_cancels_the_http_exchange. It drops a pending Auth::admit future, not a submit answer, and still checks that the stalled auth server sees its connection close.

Local checks: just ci passed (764 Rust tests). A Codex review of the new head found nothing.

(Written by Claude Opus 5.5)

[pullfrog]

Fixed the new P2 review (5760561010) on a2a5d1d: a burst whose sessions all time out no longer stays queued under the old push threshold. Each embedded admission's answer future now carries a cancellation guard that clears its waiting flag and asks the shared queue to prune when its waiter drops, so the burst is reclaimed without any later push; a_cancelled_burst_is_reclaimed_without_a_later_push covers that case. Targeted checks pass on fe70b51 (cargo test -p moq-relay --lib auth:: 62 tests, clippy -D warnings, and cargo fmt --check); full just ci needs the Nix shell, which this sandbox lacks.

@kixelated Thanks for the fixes. I inspected commit a2a5d1d571f793d7078fe938a878ede4cde7efe5.

• The shared queue skips abandoned admissions and prunes them during pushes. The four new tests cover pruning, skipping, receiver drop, and shutdown after the last Auth clone drops.
• The HTTP cancellation test now drops a pending Auth::admit future and checks that the server connection closes.
• The Cluster documentation now points to the correct stats configuration and remaining builders.

These changes address my two concerns. I did not rerun tests; the just ci result is author-reported.

Reviewed head a2a5d1d, following 2d62362.

P2: Reclaim queued admissions when a burst abandons. rs/moq-relay/src/auth.rs:1134-1143 prunes only when a later push reaches the threshold, and sets that threshold from the live count at the previous prune. If a stalled embedder accumulates a large concurrent burst and all of its sessions then time out, every Admission and its request remains queued indefinitely with zero waiters; a small amount of later traffic can stay below the old high-water threshold and still not reclaim it. The new test cancels each request while continuing to push, so it misses this case. Arrange for cancellation to remove or wake pruning of abandoned entries, or otherwise bound retained request data independently of a past live peak; add a burst-then-cancel test with no subsequent submissions.

The HTTP cancellation test now exercises Auth::admit, and the stale Cluster doc is corrected. Verification: static GitHub review only; I did not run the tests or benchmark.

[pullfrog]

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

• Embedded admissions queue. Replaced the unbounded mpsc channel with a shared Queue/Submitter: Admissions::next skips sessions that stopped waiting, and each push prunes the closed entries once the queue reaches twice the live waiters at the last prune (floor 64).
• Admission lifecycle tests. Added coverage for skipping an abandoned admission, amortized pruning without a decider, failing waiting and later sessions when Admissions drops, and ending next once every Auth clone is gone; the HTTP cancellation test now drives Auth::admit instead of Auth::submit.
• Cluster docs. The Cluster type doc now describes construction through Options/Options::with_stats, reads the registry from Cluster::stats, and lists with_connect/with_advertise as the remaining builders.

The queue's Notify is armed before the queue check, the lock is never held across an await, and the last Auth drop only closes after pending admissions are handed out. No new public API or wire changes in this delta.

The new cancellation test calls Auth::admit, which always takes the connect branch. No test drops a pending attach answer and checks that its HTTP exchange ends. A regression that cancels connect but not attach would pass the suite. Add a test that submits an attach with an owner connection to a stalled server, drops the answer, and asserts the connection closes.

`embedded_admissions_end_once_every_auth_is_gone` that queues an admission
before dropping the last `Auth`. Verify the queued admission is still yielded
with its expected request path, refuse it and check the waiting submission
receives that refusal, then confirm the stream ends after the queue is drained.

Addressed in 9f9b26f:

• OpenAI P2 (review, abandoned burst stays queued): fixed. pullfrog's fe70b51 added a per-admission waiting flag and a guard in the answer future that triggers a sweep when its waiter drops. I verified it: the flag swap settles the handout-vs-give-up race, the guard holds the Queue and not the Submitter, so it doesn't delay next ending, and nothing is dropped under the lock. Then I simplified it in 333631b. The guard already counts every give-up, so the push-time threshold was redundant and is gone. The queue sweeps once give-ups since the last sweep reach half its length. That keeps abandoned admissions to at most half the queue after each give-up, independent of any past peak, and amortized against the give-ups it reclaims. a_cancelled_burst_is_reclaimed_without_a_later_push fails against a2a5d1d's auth.rs, with all 1,024 admissions still queued, and passes now.
• CodeRabbit nitpick (review, queued admissions when the last Auth drops): added as queued_embedded_admissions_survive_the_last_auth.
• CodeRabbit nitpick (attach cancellation test): declined. Decider::decide's Server arm runs attach and connect inside one caller-owned future, and dropping_an_admission_cancels_the_http_exchange already drops that future. The in-band caller (auth/refresh.rs dispatch) keeps an attach answer until the decider answers, on purpose, to hold its verification slot. It drops only with the session's refresh state. A test would need a fake server that grants a connect and then stalls the attach, only to re-check the same drop.

just ci passes locally (766 Rust tests), and a local Codex review of the head found nothing.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head 9f9b26f, following fe70b51.

No actionable findings in the delta. Removing the push-time sweep retains cancellation-triggered reclamation: the waiting flag arbitrates handout versus abandonment, and the half-queue sweep still reclaims a cancelled burst without another submission. The added last-Auth test also covers draining an already queued admission. This is a reasonable simplification of the earlier fix.

Verification: GitHub-only static review of the queue and cancellation/handout paths and tests. I did not run tests or benchmarks.

quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at 9f9b26f because it conflicts with main (merge_conflict).

The land fixer works on it in the background, and the watcher re-enqueues it at the back of the queue once it is fixed or judged flaky, or hands it back here with what it needs.

Reviewed changes

• Merged origin/main (79055e3) into the branch. The PR's own diff against the new base is unchanged apart from the reconciliation below; no conflict markers or dropped hunks remain.
• Reconciled Cluster::new with main's new refusals field. Construction now initializes it with Refusals::new(&stats), so an enabled stats config shares the published registry and a disabled one falls back to the same private registry main used before. This matches the removed with_stats behavior.
• Updated the no-spawn quest README. Dropped the link to the now-deleted ffi.md quest and recorded that the moq-ffi wake runs on the blocking pool.
