Problem

Authored raw tracks advertised no publisher max age, so every relay and cache could serve their whole history. Per the maintainer, a publisher should get the live edge only unless it explicitly asks for more, and caches bound what they keep with their own pool. Implements quest/m1/max-age-defaults.md (deleted here) under that redirected policy.

Approach

• Rust: track::Info::default() sets max_age: Some(Duration::ZERO): a superseded group is stale at once, and the newest group never is. with_max_age(d) is a longer age; with_max_age(None) is no publisher limit. There is no default constant to export.
• Received tracks are unchanged. Every decode path states the received value (lite TRACK_INFO, IETF MAX_CACHE_DURATION, the pre-Lite05 placeholder, archive replay), so wire absence still decodes to None, no limit. Zero by default creates no ambiguity: zero and absence are distinct on every wire. lite-07 encodes absence as 0 and a value as value+1; lite-05/06 send absence as the 2^53−1 sentinel and zero as 0; IETF omits the property.
• Media keeps its explicit 30 s. hang::container::MAX_AGE (30 s), which container::track_info declares, is restored as the media publisher's choice: HLS/DASH egress, recorders, and catch-up read media history. moq_mux::catalog::Config, the RTMP/SRT/RTC ingest builders, and the CLI's unset --max-age keep declaring it. In those builders None now means unlimited rather than "inherit". In JS, @moq/hang exports Container.MAX_AGE and trackInfo applies it.
• JS: createTrack, Request.accept, and Producer.accept take a Track.InfoInit: an omitted maxAge is 0, null is unlimited, and a number is that bound. Decoded Info and infoDefaults keep absence as no limit.
• Bindings each mirror their own Delay.max pattern, so a zeroed or omitted record is 0 everywhere:
  • Hand-written C: moq_track_info has max_age_us (zeroed = 0) and max_age_unlimited, which ignores it, like moq_delay.max_us/max_unlimited. max_age_present is removed: with a zero default it is redundant, and dropping it ends the earlier precedence mismatch.
  • UniFFI: MoqTrackInfo.max_age stays an optional duration only because UniFFI can't default a Duration; null means 0. max_age_unlimited wins over it, as in C. A received record sets the flag, so it republishes unchanged.
  • Python: TrackInfo.max_age: timedelta | None = timedelta(0), with None unlimited, like Python's Delay.max.
  • Go: TrackInfo.MaxAge time.Duration plus MaxAgeUnlimited, like Go's Delay.
  • Swift/Kotlin/Dart/C++: use the generated record.
• F44: the JS publish catalog track drops its Milli(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER) "unbounded" sentinel and takes the zero default, matching Rust's Catalog::default_track_info(). A catalog that publishes once stays readable, because the newest group never goes stale and the payload cache keeps an open track's newest group. Tests cover a late joiner long after.
• F45: docs and comments describe max age as a freshness bound: how long a superseded group stays fresh. "Retention" is reserved for what keeps bytes: pool expiry, the JS payload cache, archive storage, linger, and capture history.
• The relay is unchanged: unset duration keeps no local age ceiling and its 30 s idle expiry.

Decisions

From the quest plan (maintainer, 2026-11-01). The first is superseded below:

• 30 s for both raw and media authored tracks
• ✅ The relay keeps its unset ceiling, over a 30 s relay duration default.
• ✅ The default applies at construction, with an explicit unlimited and decoded metadata unchanged, over a new default/unlimited/finite type.

Maintainer, 2026-11-03:

• ✅ Resume this PR, and fold in F44 (catalog maxAge sentinel) and F45 (retention vs. staleness wording).
• ✅ Default max-age is 0 unless the publisher explicitly specifies more ("If the publisher wants longer, so be it. The cache pool can set its own maximum."). This replaces the 30 s default; see the Design change: comment.

In-tree publishers under the zero default

What a late joiner or recorder loses at 0, and what each publisher now does:

Publisher	At 0	Now
Media via hang::container::track_info / @moq/hang trackInfo (mux ingest, RTMP/SRT/RTC, CLI import, @moq/publish media, moq-ffi media)	HLS/DASH segment FETCHes, the HLS exporter's 30 s FEED_MAX_DELAY feed, a recorder's reorder wait (and moq-dev/moq#7737's now−30 s / 30 s join), and catch-up	Explicit 30 s, hang::container::MAX_AGE / Container.MAX_AGE, as on main.
CLI import --max-age	—	Stays an explicit user choice; unset is the 30 s media age.
Raw-PCM history (moq-audio, @moq/publish audio)	—	Sized from the media max age, falling back to 30 s when unlimited, as on main.
Catalog and MSF tracks (Rust and JS)	Nothing: a join reads the newest snapshot	Zero (F44).
HLS record tracks (moq_mux::hls, Hls.Recorder)	Nothing: every reader already subscribes at a zero budget, and the newest group restates the window	Zero.
TS SI tables (moq_mux TS import)	The TS export holds a clock-table (TDT/TOT) revision until its stamped slot; at zero, a revision superseded meanwhile would be skipped	The catalog's media max age (30 s by default), like the media they describe.
moq-boy status/command, room chat (window), stats/report tracks, carla control/status	Nothing: snapshot or window tracks whose newest group restates the state	Zero.
Room metadata, demo/web metadata (1 day), GStreamer opaque data (5 s), archive replay (unlimited), moq-video encode, relay web probes	—	Already explicit; unchanged.
Interop fixtures that read superseded groups: tail (Rust and JS-native), ietf-range-updates, receive-credit, open-gop, the finish video, the max-age client	Their FETCH/replay/history scenarios	Explicit None/null, preserving what they tested.
Test fixtures across Rust, JS, and the bindings that read history from Info::default()	Superseded groups	State with_max_age(None) / maxAge: null, or the media age where they stand in for media.

One behavior change follows directly from the zero default: the archive recorder now skips a superseded group of a zero-age raw track that it hadn't read before the successor arrived. For catalog, record, and SI tracks the newest group restates the state, so a replay is still correct.

Choices made while implementing, for review:

• Media's explicit 30 s stays in hang/mux/@moq/publish rather than moving to each application. It is what main does, so media sees no user-visible change.
• The precedence rule: in C and UniFFI the unlimited flag wins over a stated age, as moq_delay.max_unlimited does.

Impact

• Breaking, Rust/JS/bindings: an authored raw track without an explicit max age now serves only the live edge instead of unlimited history. Migrate by requesting a window or unlimited at construction: with_max_age(d | None) / maxAge: d | null / max_age_us or max_age_unlimited / Python max_age=None / Go MaxAgeUnlimited. Media tracks are unchanged at 30 s.
• Breaking, Rust: moq_mux::catalog::Config::with_max_age(None), the RTMP/SRT with_max_age(None), and rtc::Config::max_age = None now mean unlimited rather than "keep the default".
• Breaking, C ABI: moq_track_info.max_age_present is removed and max_age_unlimited is added in its place. Rebuild against the new header and zero-initialize the struct.
• Breaking, bindings: Python drops the short-lived max_age_unlimited (use max_age=None), and Go's TrackInfo.MaxAge is a value, no longer a pointer.
• Wire: unchanged. Only authored advertisements change, and an omitted wire value still means no limit.
• Migration notes are under ## Unreleased in every affected MIGRATE.md.

Checks

• Rust: nextest on moq-net, hang, moq-mux, moq-rtmp, moq-srt, moq-rtc, moq-cli, moq-audio, moq-archive, moq-hls, moq-ffi, moq-c, moq-crypto, moq-relay, moq-tokio, moq-gst, moq-room, moq-stats, moq-json, moq-boy, and moq-video: 9007 of 9008 passed after merging origin/main (6647cda31b). The one failure was a test new on main that read history from Info::default(); it is fixed, and it and the bun-driven moq-net interop tests (13, including ietf_range_updates_interop) pass. After the later merges, moq-net, moq-ffi, moq-c and moq-relay (4352) and moq-mux and moq-stats (2109) pass. Clippy -D warnings and cargo fmt --check are clean (moq-audio checked with --all-features).
• JS: typecheck passes for net, hang, publish, crypto, room, json, watch, and the interop client. bun test passes for net (2819 after the last merge), publish (339), hang (552), hang (552), publish (336), crypto (72), room (19), json (180), and watch (496). The API reports for net, hang, and publish are current.
• Interop: just test max-age passes 2/2. just test receive-credit is flaky: javascript_partial_frame_gives_way_qmux on moq-transport-18 failed in 1 of 4 runs. Its sender advertises the same absent max age it did on main, so this predates the change (see Follow-ups).
• Bindings: just py test (113 passed), just go check (rerun with a cleared test cache), and just dart check pass inside nix develop. nextest for moq-ffi and moq-c passes.
• Not run: Kotlin and Swift (not runnable on this host) and the full all-language interop matrix (CI's Interop workflow).

Review

• Reviewer: Codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, via quest review --base origin/main. A new session (--new) started after the design change.
• Round 1 on dbde1f2225: no findings.
• Round 2 on b2091d2283: no findings. This round reviewed the merge of origin/main at 8f8545f060 (moq-dev/moq#7696, whose new fill.test.ts history fixtures now state maxAge: null).
• After round 2 the branch added a conflict-free merge of origin/main (ec12a42a53), which is exempt from a new round; moq-mux and moq-stats tests pass (2109).
• Pullfrog's bot commit 4d9e9836e3 (biome formatting of an import that still named the removed DEFAULT_MAX_AGE) is merged in 07d7aa8d26. The merge resolves to this branch's import, so the tree is identical to cc9865a13f.
• Round 3 on 043fcdeadc: no findings. This round reviewed the fixes for CodeRabbit's threads on d0f66e5012:
  • Fixed: insert_group_request installed Info::default() as provisional info when a fill landed before metadata. That would now be a zero max age, refusing history an unlimited publisher serves; the provisional info is now unlimited, covered by a_fill_before_metadata_claims_no_max_age.
  • Fixed: doc/bin/cli.md now says import archive refuses --max-age.
  • Already fixed by the rework: Go validates only the age it sends.
  • Moot: the Python field-order thread, since that field is removed.
• a0e0e26cbb added a conflict-free merge of origin/main (0f0b31b0dc), which is exempt from a new round.
• Round 4 on f2e433a55f: no findings. This round reviewed:
  • The merge of origin/main at dc0bd09b11. Only rs/moq-mux/MIGRATE.md conflicted, and both entries are kept. fix(mux): place clock revisions on the stamped media grid #7779's new SI clock test passes on the zero default. The moq-mux, moq-cli, moq-relay and moq-net tests pass (6167).
  • The fix for CodeRabbit's thread on js/net/src/track.ts: a fill committing info now keeps an absent maxAge as no limit, mirroring the Rust provisional-info fix. JS net (2819), publish (339) and hang (552) pass, and just test max-age passes 2/2.
  • As round 4, this was the design checkpoint: the approach stands and no findings remain.
• 4667c9bce8 added a conflict-free merge of origin/main (90081ff1f6, cargo dependency bumps), which is exempt from a new round.
• Pullfrog's bot commit 52fa63032a (quest text: the m2 link to the deleted quest) is fast-forwarded in.
• Round 5 on 04461da761 reviewed the fix for Pullfrog's thread on export.rs and reported one finding, now fixed:
  • Pullfrog's thread was a real regression. The TS export reads a clock table (TDT/TOT) in order and holds a revision until media reaches its stamped slot. Its SI budget, the export delay, is capped by the SI track's max age, and that track was unlimited on main and zero under the new default. A revision superseded before the export read it was therefore skipped at once.
  • The SI tracks now declare an explicit max age, the export doc says why, and a_superseded_si_revision_stays_readable_within_the_export_budget reads two revisions under a 500 ms budget: both survive with the SI age, only the newest at zero.
  • Round 5's finding (medium): a fixed 30 s ignored catalog::Config::with_max_age. Fixed: SI tracks take their catalog's configured media max age, including an explicit unlimited, covered by si_tracks_share_the_catalogs_media_max_age.
• Round 6 on fb038a0cdf: no findings. moq-mux and moq-srt pass (2093), and clippy and rustdoc are clean.
• a7e60929de added a conflict-free, quest-only merge of origin/main (eacff68011).
• Merge-queue failure (run 41775006708): ci: test rs failed on moq-bench connection::tests::drain_waits_for_a_late_group_within_max_delay, a history read under the zero default in a crate my per-crate runs hadn't covered.
  • Pullfrog's bot commits fixed it: 079eb2e945 gives moq-bench's publisher track and test helper an explicit unlimited, as main had, and 4c0b86a83a is a ktfmt wrap. Both are pulled and checked.
  • A workspace-wide run then found two more history-reading fixtures, now fixed: moq-net-tests' restart.rs (unlimited) and moq-transcode's rung fill test, which takes the media age as production rungs do.
  • The publish test's Container import, dropped in a merge, is restored.
• Merges of origin/main:
  • feat(net)!: datagram tracks, a track kind apart from stream tracks #7752 datagram tracks carry no max age.
  • feat!: number HLS segments on a declared media.join.interval grid #7652 deleted JS Hls.Recorder; that deletion is kept.
  • In the mux, tail.rs, hls.md, the MIGRATE files and the publish API report, both sides are kept.
• After a reboot, a new review session started (--new, since main trimmed AGENTS.md):
  • Round 1 on 25fe24a59a: no findings.
  • Round 2 on b3a24febec: no findings. This round reviewed the merge of fix(test): type open-GOP fixture and fail on page errors #7814: the open-GOP fixture keeps maxAge: null on main's new setup.
• 28e026fe98 added a conflict-free merge of origin/main (882820eb83, fix(ci): lint media tests with default features #7817 CI linting).
• The queue's merge conflict (08:08Z): I merged origin/main (d9a140ce3e) and rechecked the newly landed code.
  • feat(net): fetch past group ranges over IETF in JavaScript #7793 added a second IETF decode path in JS, a FETCH-only copy, that staged an absent MAX_CACHE_DURATION through the authored path as zero. It now stages null, the same as SUBSCRIBE. integration: ietf fetches a past group of a finished track asserts the copy's maxAge is absent; it fails without the fix (received 0).
  • feat(net): serve on-demand JavaScript IETF FETCH #7794's FETCH tests that fill superseded history now state no publisher limit, via an optional maxAge on serve(); the maxCacheDuration: 0n wire assertion stays.
  • feat(net): viewer probe targets and receive grants #7090's tests pass on the default.
  • The regenerated Dart bindings show no diff.
• New session round 1 on 5dfac5246b had one finding (medium), now fixed: history-dependent benchmarks broke under the zero default. js/net/bench/replay.ts and drift.ts state maxAge: null, and every Rust bench track in moq-net, moq-stats and moq-uring that took the default states with_max_age(None), so nightly numbers stay comparable with main.
• Round 2 on bbd3338d76: no findings.
• The head, 0613253e48, adds only a conflict-free merge of origin/main (d66c892833, refactor(quic)!: implement native WebTransport poll transports #7771 QUIC refactor, docs(agents): rely on quest context for shared rules #7761 docs), which is exempt from a new round.
• Checks:
  • Rust: workspace nextest 11314 passed. moq-net benches (with the fuzz feature) and the moq-stats, moq-crypto and moq-mux benches pass in test mode, except three that panic identically on origin/main (see Follow-ups). Clippy is clean on the touched bench crates.
  • JS: net 2888, hang 538, publish 337 and crypto 72 pass; all 29 JS benches exit cleanly.
  • just dart check and just test max-age (2/2) pass.
• Checks: workspace nextest 11295 passed. Clippy on the touched crates, fmt, markdown and quest check are clean, and the publish and interop-client typechecks pass.
• The earlier session's four rounds and online reviews of the 30 s design are superseded. The pullfrog thread on the C test's doc comment is moot: max_age_present is gone, and that comment now describes the zero default.

Follow-ups

• Three moq-net benches panic in test mode on origin/main (d66c892833), independent of this PR: origin ("winner changed"), session (Evicted), and track (poll_recv_group(..).is_pending()).

• moq-transport draft-18 resumed bounded reads under a finite max age. A resumed copy's Delay::max(None) read of a group below its live floor isn't filled from upstream on draft-18, while lite and drafts 20/22 fill it. Reproduce with a_resumed_bounded_subscription_keeps_its_cached_start and a 30 s fixture.

• receive_credit::javascript_partial_frame_gives_way_qmux flakes on draft-18: "a frame larger than the window completed", in 1 of 4 local runs.

• The moq-crypto sign/protect benches pass with_max_age(Duration::ZERO) as if it kept memory flat. Max age never frees bytes, and it is now the default anyway.

• The Swift, Kotlin, and Dart TrackInfo alias docs list fields that don't exist.

• Python tests that loop over groups without a timeout hang instead of failing on a regression.

Walkthrough

Authored tracks now default to zero maximum age in the core model. Superseded groups become stale when a successor arrives, while the newest group remains available. Publishers can set a maximum-age window or explicitly remove the publisher limit. Media and ingest integrations retain their specified defaults, including the 30-second media default. Language bindings and FFI conversions carry explicit unlimited-age settings. Tests and documentation cover these semantics and distinguish publisher freshness from cache reclamation.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to a7e60

The authored-track default changes to zero as documented, while received and provisional metadata preserve absent publisher limits. The previously identified conversion and documentation issues are addressed; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Reviewed head 06f99aa.

P2: Require existing C callers to initialize the new flag. rs/moq-c/src/api.rs:655-660, 686-690 puts max_age_unlimited in what was padding and reads it before the existing max_age_present field. A previously valid caller that assigns each old moq_track_info member individually leaves the new byte indeterminate even after recompiling: a finite max_age_us can be overridden as unlimited, and an invalid value is not a valid Rust bool. The migration says to rebuild and set the flag when unlimited is wanted, but also needs to tell all callers to zero-initialize the entire struct or explicitly set the flag false. If old binaries are supported, use a versioned entry point/record instead of interpreting old padding. Add a C migration regression that starts from the documented initialization and verifies an explicit finite age survives.

The construction-time default and explicit unlimited direction otherwise fit the stated policy. The PR already notes the draft-18 bounded-resume limitation.

Verification: GitHub-only static review of the core defaults, received metadata paths, JS forwarding and C/FFI conversion; I did not run builds, tests, or interop.

[pullfrog]

ℹ️ No critical issues — one C migration clarification inline, plus a merge-state note below.

Reviewed changes

• Rust default: track::Info::default() now carries Info::DEFAULT_MAX_AGE (30 s), with_max_age(None) stays explicit unlimited, and every decode path states the received value (lite TRACK_INFO, IETF MAX_CACHE_DURATION, the pre-Lite05 placeholder, archive replay), so wire absence still decodes to None.
• Media and ingest: hang::container::MAX_AGE is removed for the shared constant; mux catalog::Config, the CLI, and the RTMP/SRT/RTC builders default to 30 s while None now means unlimited; catalog/MSF/HLS record tracks inherit the default.
• JS: authored createTrack/accept take Track.InfoInit (undefined = 30 s, null = unlimited) via authoredInfo, while infoDefaults and decoded Info keep absence; @moq/hang trackInfo and @moq/publish maxAge accept null; the publish catalog drops its Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER sentinel (F44).
• Bindings and docs: UniFFI and the hand-written C add max_age_unlimited (flag wins, received records republish unchanged); Python and Go mirror it; Kotlin/Swift/Dart pick it up from the generated record; F45 rewords retention as a freshness bound across docs and comments.
• Verified at this head: the new JS tests pass for js/net (authored default, sole-snapshot late joiner, lite-03/05/07 + moqt-22 carries the age), js/hang trackInfo, and js/publish (catalog default and changing maxAge); tsc --noEmit passes for net, crypto, hang, and publish.

ℹ️ The branch conflicts with current main

GitHub reports CONFLICTING/DIRTY: the PR's merge base is b017ffef, while main has advanced to 7e4ed93 and 4a8086f23. The overlapping files are the top-of-file MIGRATE entries and the regenerated dart/moq_ffi/lib/src/moq.dart, so merging main and re-running just dart generate should resolve it; the Rust source overlaps sit in disjoint regions.

Technical details

# Merge state

## Affected sites
- `main` advanced from the merge base `b017ffef` by `7e4ed93` (#7730, typed decoder setup refusals) and `4a8086f23` (#7734, gst demand).
- Files both sides changed: the wrapper `MIGRATE.md` files, `dart/moq_ffi/lib/src/moq.dart` (generated), `rs/moq-audio/src/decode/consumer.rs`, `rs/moq-gst/src/sink/pad.rs`, and `quest/m1/README.md`.
- The two Rust source overlaps are in disjoint regions and the Dart file is regenerated, so the code conflicts are mechanical.

## Required outcome
- Merge `main`, resolve the new MIGRATE entries, and regenerate the Dart bindings.

Reviewed head d0f66e5, following 06f99aa and accounting for base merges.

My earlier C migration finding is addressed: the migration notes and README now explicitly require zero-initializing the struct or assigning the new flag, and the conversion/test give a stated age precedence over an initialized unlimited flag. Initializing the field remains necessary because old padding can be indeterminate. No additional actionable finding in the delta.

Verification: GitHub-only static review of the changed C conversion, test, and migration guidance; I did not run tests or the C probes.

[pullfrog]

ℹ️ No critical issues — one stale test doc comment inline. The C precedence fix from the prior review is correct.

Reviewed changes

• C ABI precedence: moq_track_info conversion now checks max_age_present first, so a stated age wins over max_age_unlimited, and track_info_max_age covers a stated 5 s surviving a set flag.
• C migration/docs: rs/moq-c/MIGRATE.md, c/moq/MIGRATE.md, and rs/moq-c/README.md now say recompiling does not initialize the flag and require zero-initializing the struct or assigning it explicitly.
• Merge: conflict-free merge of origin/main (dependency bumps and CI only) with no production delta.

Cover the default TrackInfo() record in the max-age test.

test_track_info_max_age does not build moq.TrackInfo() with max_age unset. The None case sends no record to _ffi(). The other two cases set max_age. test_track_info_keeps_native_default_priority runs moq.TrackInfo()._ffi(), but it checks only priority. A change that alters the default max_age on the record path can pass all of these tests.

Add the default record as a case:

Assert max-age metadata on the session-received track.

The session test checks only the frame payload. It never reads the track metadata. The local-track assertions do not cover data that arrives over the session. Add assertions on the consumer returned by subscribeTrack, for example:

expect(received.info().maxAge, const Duration(seconds: 30));

For a track published with maxAgeUnlimited: true, also assert:

expect(received.info().maxAge, isNull);
expect(received.info().maxAgeUnlimited, isTrue);

The Rust suite likely covers the wire encoding itself. This assertion adds coverage of the Dart received-track binding.

Add entry-point coverage for max_age_unlimited.

The max_age_unlimited conversion is tested only through Info::try_from. No test passes max_age_unlimited: true to moq_publish_track or moq_track_request_accept. No test asserts the max_age of the resulting track. A change that stops parse_track_info from converting a non-null info, or that drops the unlimited flag before the track is created or accepted, would still pass the suite.

Add a test that calls both entry points with max_age_unlimited set and max_age_present unset. Assert that the resulting track's max age is None.

The Check failure was check biome in js/net/src/track.test.ts: an import line exceeded the formatter's width. Reformatted the import into Biome's multi-line shape. bun biome check --error-on-warnings . now passes across all 2198 files, and the fix is pushed to quest/m1/max-age-defaults.

• History fixtures state their max age: restart.rs and the publish test state unlimited history, and the transcode rung test takes hang::container::MAX_AGE as the production rung does, so main's new history reads keep working under the zero default. The publish test's dropped Container import is restored.
• moq-bench keeps its delay budget: the publisher track and timed() helper take with_max_age(None), so the drain's Delay::max(max_delay) is not clamped to the zero default. The Kotlin change is formatting only.
• Merged origin/main: #7652 (HLS join-interval grid, which removes the HLS record tracks and Hls.Recorder), #7752 (datagram tracks, which have no max age), #7721, #7754, #7760, #7803, #7814, and #7817. The only conflict, test/interop/clients/js/open-gop/main.ts, resolves to main's origin.createBroadcast(name) while keeping the fixture's maxAge: null.
• Verified the fixes survive the merges: the TS SI track still takes the catalog's media max age, the JS fill still keeps an absent maxAge as unlimited, and the Rust provisional info is still unlimited. Main's new HLS exporter creates no authored tracks.

The failure is not caused by this PR, so no code change is warranted.

ci: check biome and ci: check js both failed because bun install --frozen-lockfile runs the moq postinstall, which builds js/libav via Nix. That build failed downloading its source:

error: Cannot build '/nix/store/xg86k28z5w9q2xqlix6al8smcbl2k958-ffmpeg-9.0.tar.xz.drv'.
> trying https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-9.0.tar.xz

> curl: (35) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer
> error: cannot download ffmpeg-9.0.tar.xz from any mirror

This is an external network/mirror failure, and the PR touches no Nix, ffmpeg, libav, or lockfile paths. All Rust tests and every other check passed. Recommend re-running the workflow; there is nothing to push.

quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at 28e026f 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.

codex / Codex land fixer note:

The merge failure is caused by independent migration entries inserted under Unreleased in nine MIGRATE.md files. Both sides can be retained without changing behavior. The failure log reports:

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head 0613253, following 4c0b86a and the intervening base merges.

No new actionable findings. The merged IETF FETCH-only path now preserves absent received max age as unlimited, with coverage across the supported IETF versions; history fixtures and benchmarks explicitly retain the unlimited publisher age they measured before. The joining-FETCH zero wire expectation remains covered.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static inspection of the base-aware merge, metadata paths, fixtures and benchmarks, with an independent pass. I did not run tests, benchmarks or interoperability sessions.

• Kept benchmark history comparable with main. Every moq-net, moq-stats and moq-uring bench track that took the default now states with_max_age(None), including each timed() helper, and js/net/bench/{drift,replay}.ts pass maxAge: null, so the replay, drift, fetch, range and stale-read benches still measure what they did on main.
• Merged origin/main. #7793, #7794, #7090, #7799, #7791, #7805, #7813, #7818, #7820 and #7821 landed first, then #7771 (native WebTransport QUIC refactor) and #7761 (docs), conflict-free.
• Verified the merged code keeps received absence unlimited. Both JS IETF decode paths stage an absent MAX_CACHE_DURATION as null (the SUBSCRIBE copy and the FETCH-only copy), and no new authored production track in the delta reads history.
