Implements and deletes quest/m1/cluster-routing/routes/wire.md. The live lite-07 ANNOUNCE switch moves to Route session integration, as the quest's Plan allowed.

Problem

lite-07 needs the route wire before session integration. The maintainer settled the three open floor and claim questions on 2026-11-05 (choices 10 to 12 below), which also removes the oversized-floor finding.

Approach

drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md now specifies lite-07's route layer on the Announce Stream, and Rust encodes and decodes the new messages.

• Draft. The draft now separates a claim (what an ANNOUNCE advertises: a prefix of one origin node) from a route (how the publisher reaches that origin node).
  • New subsections: Announce (two id counters, and one presented claim per route covering the request), Floors (batches closed by a marker floor, and the merge rule), and Routing (Babel feasibility, held and let-go routes, the ROUTE_END echo, ROUTE_REQUEST, down-only routes, qualified Node IDs, and requests pinned to a Node ID).
  • Resolution now breaks ties by local priority, then Announce Cost plus route metric, then a Rendezvous Hash of the path and Node ID.
  • New messages: ROUTE_START (0x6), ROUTE_UPDATE (0x7), ROUTE_END (0x8, also the echo), ANNOUNCE_FLOOR (0x9, {Route ID, Revision + 1}), ROUTE_REQUEST (0xA), and ROUTE_HOLD (0xB, {Route ID}).
  • The feasibility condition covers a node with no distance yet and compares the advertised Metric, as Router::feasible does.
  • ANNOUNCE_START, UPDATE, RESTART, and TAKEOVER name a Route ID and carry the Announce Cost in place of the Hop ID list.
  • ANNOUNCE_OK loses its Hop ID, and the Hop setup parameter (0x5) is removed.
  • The Cost parameter must be at least 1.
  • TRACK, TRACKS, SUBSCRIBE, FETCH, and DATAGRAMS gain a Node ID.
  • The lite-07 changelog and the security considerations are updated.
• Rust (rs/moq-net/src/lite/announce.rs):
  • AnnounceBroadcast gains RouteStart, RouteUpdate, RouteHold, RouteEnd, and Floor, all gated by Version::has_routes() (lite-07). They reuse the router's route::Advert.
  • A new AnnounceReply (RouteRequest, RouteEnd) covers the subscriber-to-publisher direction.
  • Both ends refuse Node ID 0 and a seqno of 2^64-1.
  • Floor { id, revision: Option<Rev> }: Some(r) travels as r + 1, None as 0, and encoding Some(2^64-1) is refused.
• Router (rs/moq-net/src/route/mod.rs): a metric is unusable only when adding a link cost overflows, since 2^64-1 no longer marks held. The overflow test now uses a link cost of 2^64-1.
• Session: the lite-07 subscriber refuses route messages with PROTOCOL_VIOLATION until the router drives the stream. No build sends them yet, so every lite-07 build still interoperates with itself.
• Fuzz: lite_wire round-trips AnnounceReply, with seeds for both ROUTE_END and ROUTE_REQUEST; AnnounceBroadcast round-trips cover the new variants.
• Quests:
  • wire.md is deleted and its links dropped.
  • session.md's Goal now owns switching the live lite-07 codecs to the drafted layout, plus the epochless same-origin next-hop test.
  • Stale mentions in README.md, handle.md, and announce-takeover.md are fixed.
  • The routes epic records choices 10 to 12 and marks the 2026-10-16 region decisions superseded on the wire; session.md owns projecting the router's per-region view onto the marker and rerunning the sweeps through it; acceptance.md, js.md, and the m2 interest-set quest drop region lists.
  • The epic records choices 13 and 14 and supersedes choice 4 and the 2026-10-16 held encoding; session.md must cover the uncertified-freshness sequence below in its projection tests.
  • bench-ci.md: a quest commit from another session (33452f4) reached this branch with a link to bench-test-mode.md, which moq-dev/moq#7940 finished. The newer A/A record is kept and the link now points at that PR.
• Test: the reload.test.ts close-drain test quarantined in the last iterate is restored; that flake belongs to moq-dev/moq#7933's quest.

Path Base / Path Keep measurement

The quest asked to rerun moq-dev/moq#4196's announce byte report on path-less ANNOUNCE and drop Path Base/Path Keep unless they still pay. I reused its workloads with empty hop chains, through moq_net::fuzz::encode_announces, and isolated the path bytes:

workload	routes x churn	lite-07 literal (est.)	path-compressed	change
health	1000 x 0	~68.4 B/START	34.4 B/START	about -50%
health	10000 x 1000	~68.7	34.4	about -50%
unique	any	~23.7	25.7	+2 B (the two zero fields)

The compression still halves the health workload, so Path Base/Path Keep stay. Hop Base/Hop Keep go with the hop list.

Decisions

1. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): The draft describes the target before the code switches. A hop-less ANNOUNCE cannot run before the router drives sessions; the quest's own Plan says so. So the draft now specifies the whole lite-07 route wire, while main's lite-07 session keeps sending hop-based ANNOUNCEs until Route session integration lands. lite-07 is unpublished -wip, off by default, and the epic lands in one release before the cut. The other option was to put only the new message sections in the draft and leave ANNOUNCE hop-based. I rejected it because ANNOUNCE_FLOOR's "for that route" and the Route ID would then be undefined in the draft.
2. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): The request field is Node ID (i), with 0 meaning "the publisher selects". It is added to every request that resolves a path: TRACK, TRACKS, SUBSCRIBE, FETCH, and DATAGRAMS. Node ID 0 is reserved everywhere.
3. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): ROUTE_REQUEST names a Node ID, not a Route ID. A request can then never race a ROUTE_END into a protocol violation.
4. A held ROUTE_UPDATE carries a seqno and down-only bit of 0. Superseded by 15: ROUTE_HOLD carries no seqno or bit.
5. Floor regions have no order, and a repeated region is a violation. Superseded by 10: floors carry no regions.
6. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): The Hop setup parameter and ANNOUNCE_OK's Hop ID are dropped from lite-07. Their only roles were path-vector exclusion and the implicit trailing hop. ANNOUNCE_OK reserves no fields for a route-key proof: moq-dev/moq#7937, accepted the same day, proves the route key once per session in SETUP. The live hop-based codec still switches in session integration, as choice 1 requires.
7. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): An echo naming a Route ID that was never ended, or was already echoed, is a violation at the publisher. The publisher can check this from its live and unacknowledged ids alone, with no growing state.
8. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): ANNOUNCE_TAKEOVER keeps its shape, with a Route ID in place of hops, and its predecessor must be under the same route. quest/m1/announce-takeover.md deletes the message, so this keeps the change minimal.
9. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): Unknown announce types stay skipped by length on lite-06+, as before. An unknown reply type is refused.
10. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): ANNOUNCE_FLOOR is a marker, not a region list: {Route ID, Revision}. It closes a batch and certifies the stream's claims for that route across the whole requested prefix as the origin's at that Revision. A publisher that cannot vouch for the whole requested prefix at one Revision still closes the batch with a floor that certifies nothing, encoded per 14 (originally a Revision of 2^64-1). Regions, the replacing list, and the 65,535-byte overflow go away. Accepted cost: a relay with partial knowledge of an origin certifies nothing for that route, so a receiver lets its stale claims go only on ROUTE_END. Rejected: one region per message; a multipart atomic list.
11. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): Clamped claims collapse to the best one. When several of a route's claims cover the request (live at cost 10 and live/a at cost 1, request live/a/x), the publisher presents only the most specific, and when it is withdrawn moves the presented claim to the next covering one with ANNOUNCE_UPDATE or ANNOUNCE_RESTART instead of ending it. No wire change; one live claim per prefix per route holds. The Floors merge now compares claims at the prefix each stream presents them. Rejected: carrying each claim's ancestor depth.
12. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): A floor certifies absence only for what its own request shows. A stream whose request did not set Hidden certifies nothing about hidden claims. No new wire field. Rejected: isolating differently filtered views.
13. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): Restore the reload.test.ts close-drain test the previous iterate quarantined here; its flake belongs to moq-dev/moq#7933's quest.
14. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer): ANNOUNCE_FLOOR encodes Revision + 1, with 0 meaning the floor certifies nothing, the same offset as Max Age. Rust decodes it to Option. Huge constants make bad markers and cost 9 bytes as a lite-07 varint. Rejected: a separate message; a boolean field.
15. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer: "use 0 as a sentinel, or make a new message type"; the maintainer left the pick to the agent): A held route is ROUTE_HOLD (0xB), {Route ID}, not a ROUTE_UPDATE with a Metric of 2^64-1. Metric 0 is real (the origin's own route), so 0 cannot mean held. Offsetting every metric by one would add an off-by-one at every use and still leave a held update's seqno and down-only bit meaningless and refused. The message carries only what a hold means, choice 4's rule goes away, and the wire refuses no metric.
    • Other 2^64-1 uses, kept because they are bounds, not markers: an origin never advertises a Seqno or Revision of 2^64-1 (it rotates its Node ID), so ROUTE_START/UPDATE refuse a Seqno of 2^64-1, a ROUTE_REQUEST for 2^64-1 rotates the Node ID, and every Revision leaves room for the floor's offset. The qualified Node ID is a flag bit (2^63), not a value marker. lite-06's Cost::MAX Cold field predates lite-07.
16. ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-complete, comment): Accept the uncertified-floor delay. A new claim carried only on an uncertified stream stays hidden while an older certified floor on another stream proves it absent, until that peer catches up or lets the route go. Session integration's projection tests pin it (quest/m1/cluster-routing/routes/session.md). Not chosen: a lower-bound revision on uncertified floors, which would change the floor format settled in 14.
17. Agent choice (CodeRabbit finding): Claim resolution ranks a route whose session received a GOAWAY below every other, before local priority, matching route selection and the GOAWAY section.
18. Agent choice (CodeRabbit finding): A pending ROUTE_REQUEST rises to the highest Seqno requested and is sent again when it rises. The draft said only "dropping duplicates", which reads as dropping a newer request from a second requester. This matches Babel, which suppresses only a repeat of a request it recently forwarded, so a newer seqno goes on (RFC 8966 §3.8.1.2). Router::request already raised and resent (rs/moq-net/src/route/mod.rs:724), so only the draft changes; a_newer_request_raises_the_pending_one pins the behaviour.

Merge rule with these choices (draft, Floors): of the streams whose floor certifies a claim, the highest Revision decides; a claim no floor certifies exists while some stream carries it; an uncertified stream's claims stay until its ANNOUNCE_END or ROUTE_END. A uniform-revision requirement ("at one Revision") keeps a relay whose view mixes revisions from certifying the older one over newer knowledge, which could revive a known withdrawal.

Impact

• Public API: none. lite is crate-private. The hidden fuzz feature dispatches one more kind.
• Wire, lite-07 (moq-lite-07-wip, off by default):
  • Rust now decodes types 0x6 to 0x9 and 0xB (ROUTE_HOLD) on the announce stream, with 0x9 as the two-field marker, where they were previously skipped as unknown. The subscriber refuses them, and nothing sends them yet.
  • The draft changes as listed above. The live ANNOUNCE layout is unchanged until session integration.
• lite-01 to lite-06: byte-for-byte unchanged.
• Breaking (!): this is a lite-07 -wip wire change. A peer sending route messages to this build is refused. Migration: none needed for published versions.

Validation

On head ea55b48:

• quest gate nix develop --command just ci: passed (exit 0).
• cargo nextest run -p moq-net --all-features fuzz route::tests: 58 passed, including the new typed_lite_seeds_decode and a_newer_request_raises_the_pending_one. As a check that the ROUTE_START seed reaches its arm, the same seed with Node ID 0 (refused only in that arm) fails typed_lite_seeds_decode.
• Interop not rerun: since 81395cf, only test seeds, a router test, and draft text matching the existing router changed. On 81395cf (after merging moq-dev/moq#7937), env -u MOQ_QUEST quest gate nix develop --command env -u MOQ_QUEST just test interop --all passed all 205 checks. Unset because main's dev shell exports MOQ_QUEST and every moq-* binary refuses it, the pre-existing failure that moq-dev/moq#7979 fixes.
• quest check --fix --base origin/main: ok.

Alternatives

Each choice above records the alternatives considered.

Follow-ups

The router's projection onto the marker floor and the sweep reruns through it belong to Route session integration.

Walkthrough

The lite draft replaces hop-based route advertisements with origin-node routing and claims. It defines route and claim lifecycle messages, whole-interest floors, request fields, and claim resolution rules. The Rust code adds version-gated route codecs, validation, tests, and fuzz inputs; the subscriber currently rejects route messages. Routing plans and references are updated, and benchmark documents record A/A run results and follow-up instructions.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 8a04a

The route-recovery rule in the lite-07 draft can stall when two peers request different sequence numbers for the same origin. Nothing sends route messages yet, so there is no live impact, but the wire rule should be fixed before session integration builds on it.

Reviewed commit: 17fd39d

• [P2] Preserve original claim identity across interests (drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:433). An origin can claim both live and live/a; interest live/a/x clamps both to the empty suffix under the same Route ID, although the draft permits only one claim per route/prefix. It also assigns different keys to the same original claim across overlapping streams. The floor merge and later withdrawals cannot reconstruct both claims. Preserve an original claim key or ancestor encoding, or specify a projection and reconciliation rule for these cases.
• [P2] Exclude discovery-filtered claims from negative floor evidence (drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:446–448). A Hidden=1 stream can report .stats at revision 1, while a Hidden=0 stream at revision 2 omits it because of the filter. Applying the latter's whole-interest floor removes the still-live hidden claim. Make the certified domain account for filtering, or prevent differently filtered views from supplying absence evidence for each other; add a mixed-filter regression.

The feasibility-distance correction is present, and separating wire definitions before integration is a sensible staging choice. Verification: GitHub-only static review of draft, codecs and router; I did not run tests or fuzzing.

[pullfrog]

Important

Two draft-semantics gaps remain in the new claim/route model: clamped claims can collide across interests, and a Hidden=0 floor can erase a claim a Hidden=1 stream delivered. Both live in the new Floors/claim section, so they should be settled before the route session integration implements them; the codecs themselves are correct and the tests pass.

Reviewed changes

• Draft route layer. Splits a claim (what an ANNOUNCE advertises) from a route (how the publisher reaches the origin node), adds ROUTE_START/UPDATE/END, ANNOUNCE_FLOOR, and ROUTE_REQUEST, and replaces the hop-list/Instance Hash/Chain Hash model with Babel feasibility, held and let-go routes, Node IDs, and a Rendezvous Hash tie-break.
• Rust codecs. AnnounceBroadcast gains RouteStart, RouteUpdate, RouteEnd, and Floor, and a new AnnounceReply carries RouteRequest and the RouteEnd echo. Both ends refuse node 0, seqno/revision/metric 2^64-1, a malformed held update, a repeated floor region, and an unholdable region count.
• Session and fuzz. The lite-07 subscriber refuses route messages with PROTOCOL_VIOLATION until the router drives the stream; LITE_KINDS grows to 34 with an AnnounceReply seed, and AnnounceBroadcast round-trips cover the new variants.
• Quests. cluster-routing/routes/wire.md is deleted and its links dropped; session.md now owns the live wire switch and the epochless same-origin next-hop test.

I verified the codecs against the new message definitions (ROUTE_START 0x6, ROUTE_UPDATE 0x7, ROUTE_END 0x8, ANNOUNCE_FLOOR 0x9, ROUTE_REQUEST 0xA): the field order, limits, and held-update encoding all match. The draft-stated staging choice (live lite-07 ANNOUNCE stays hop-based until session.md) is recorded and the code intentionally does not send the new messages yet. I also ran the crate tests: lite::announce 31/31, fuzz::tests 4/4, and cargo fmt -p moq-net --check and clippy are clean. The new Routing prose matches route::Router (record, selected, requests, recoverable) and RFC 8966 §3.5.1.

⚠️ Clamped claims collide across interests

A publisher that claims both live and live/a and answers an interest of live/a/x clamps both to the empty suffix, so the second ANNOUNCE_START repeats a prefix the route already claims (drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:428 calls that a protocol violation). The same original claim also gets a different wire key on a stream with a different interest, so the Floors merge at :447 cannot reconcile the copies. Either present only the most specific claim per path, or carry the original claim prefix so the merge can key on it.

Technical details

# Clamped claims collide across interests

## Affected sites
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:433` — the clamping rule
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:424` — one live claim per route and prefix
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:428` — the duplicate-prefix violation
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:447` — the cross-stream claim merge

## Required outcome
- Two claims with different original prefixes must not present as the same wire prefix on one stream.
- The same original claim must yield the same key across streams so the Floors merge can reconcile it.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Present only the most specific claim covering each path, or carry the original prefix (an ancestor) so the receiver can key and merge the claim.

## Open questions for the human
- Is the invariant that a stream presents at most one claim per path, with the publisher choosing the most specific?

⚠️ A filtered floor erases a hidden claim

A Hidden=0 stream omits live/.stats (drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:465), yet its floor for the live region still certifies that region and the higher-Revision merge at :447 can drop a claim the Hidden=1 stream delivered. Scope the floor's certified domain to the request's filter, or forbid one filter from supplying absence evidence for another.

Technical details

# A filtered floor erases a hidden claim

## Affected sites
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:441` — the floor certifies the region's claims
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:447` — the higher-Revision merge decides existence
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:461` — a claim is hidden below the request prefix
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:465` — the publisher omits hidden claims unless `Hidden`

## Required outcome
- A `Hidden=0` stream must not supply absence evidence for a claim it filtered out.
- A claim delivered on a `Hidden=1` stream must survive a merge with a `Hidden=0` stream.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Scope the floor's certification and merge to the request's `Hidden` filter, or ignore a filtered stream's floor for hidden claims.

## Open questions for the human
- Should the floor carry the request's `Hidden` value, or should the receiver track each stream's filter?

Design change: the maintainer's 2026-11-05 decisions replace ANNOUNCE_FLOOR's region list with a {Route ID, Revision} marker (2^64-1 certifies nothing), collapse a route's claims covering a request to the most specific one, and restrict a floor's certification to what its own Hidden filter shows. These resolve both automated findings on 17fd39d and the oversized-floor finding. The review restarted with quest review --new.

(Written by Claude Opus 5.5)

[kixelated]

Design change: two lite-07 wire markers replaced at the maintainer's direction (2026-11-05). A huge constant like 2^64-1 makes a bad marker and costs 9 bytes as a lite-07 varint.

• ANNOUNCE_FLOOR encodes Revision + 1, and 0 means the floor certifies nothing (the Max Age offset).
• A held route is now ROUTE_HOLD (0xB, {Route ID}), not a ROUTE_UPDATE with a Metric of 2^64-1. Metric 0 is real (the origin's own route), so 0 can't mean held, and offsetting every metric would still leave a held update's seqno and bit meaningless. The held-fields rule (choice 4) goes away, and the wire no longer refuses any metric.

The 2^64-1 Seqno and Revision bounds stay. They're bounds, not markers: they leave room for a ROUTE_REQUEST's successor and the floor's offset. The review restarted with quest review --new.

Reviewed commit: 42c479b

No new actionable findings in the substantive changes since 9f49958. ROUTE_HOLD, the Revision + 1 floor encoding, and checked metric overflow agree with the revised draft; the feasibility wording and ROUTE_REQUEST seed fixes are present.

The earlier scoped-freshness P2 remains deferred, not fixed: session.md:81–85 now requires the regression sequence, and the PR leaves acceptance of the availability bound versus carrying freshness to the maintainer. I have not repeated the inline finding. The wire simplification is coherent; that availability decision and its projection tests still need settling before integration.

Verification: GitHub-only static comparison of the draft, codecs, router, tests and integration contract. I did not run builds, tests or fuzzing. GitHub's Check job is queued; the PR reports interop stopped before running checks because of the base branch's MOQ_QUEST environment handling.

Add a positive test for a route whose metric plus link cost equals MAX.

The changed fixture at line 805 overflows, so it passes whether add accepts or rejects an exact MAX sum. No test in rs/moq-net/src/route/ asserts that such a route stays selected. The current code accepts that sum, so this test protects working behavior at the metric boundary.

The setup is traceable through the existing test helpers. The origin link has cost MAX - 1. The router at a selects that metric and advertises it. The router at b adds the link cost 1, which yields MAX.

The doc comments on overflow_is_unreachable and the nearby overflow test describe a total that reaches the infinite metric as unreachable. Confirm that an exact MAX total is meant to stay selected before adding this assertion. Update those comments in the same change if the boundary is intended.

Clarify the exact-MAX boundary contract before changing the route tests: the
existing overflow comments describe totals reaching MAX as unreachable, while
the reported behavior accepts an exact MAX sum. If exact MAX should remain

Read 42c479b against the prior pullfrog review at 9f49958, with the draft, codecs, router, fuzz corpus, and quest updates for context.

• Held routes get their own message. Replaced the 2^64-1 metric sentinel with ROUTE_HOLD (0xB) in the draft and as AnnounceBroadcast::RouteHold { id }, so a hold no longer carries a meaningless seqno or down-only bit.
• Floors use an offset. ANNOUNCE_FLOOR now encodes Revision + 1 with 0 meaning it certifies nothing, decoding back to Option and refusing Some(2^64-1) on encode.
• Metrics are overflow-only. Router::add no longer reserves 2^64-1, so a metric of 2^64-1 is a valid finite route and only checked_add overflow is unreachable; the overflow fixture now uses a link cost of 2^64-1.
• Prior feedback landed. The feasibility condition now names the no-distance-yet case and the advertised Metric exactly as Router::feasible implements it, and the ROUTE_REQUEST fuzz seed was added for the second reply arm.
• Quests. The epic records choices 13 and 14, session.md adds the uncertified-freshness sequence to its projection tests, and the carried bench-ci.md link now points at the merged #7940.

The ROUTE_HOLD codec, the floor offset round-trip, and the overflow-only router semantics all match the revised draft; lite::announce (31 tests), the route overflow tests, and fuzz::tests::seeds_reach_every_arm pass locally.

Maintainer decision 2026-11-05 (/quest-complete), for the open P2 on uncertified floors: ✅ accept the delay. A new claim seen only on an uncertified stream stays hidden while an older certified floor on another stream says it is absent, until that peer catches up or drops the route; session integration's tests pin it (the case is already in quest/m1/cluster-routing/routes/session.md). Not chosen: giving uncertified floors a minimum revision, which would change the floor format just settled. Merge pick: queue once the MOQ_QUEST dev-shell fix lands and interop passes on this head.

No new actionable findings since 42c479b. The GOAWAY-first claim ranking agrees with route selection; the added UPDATE/END/FLOOR/HOLD fuzz seeds are well-formed, and the ROUTE_HOLD and benchmark-record corrections are consistent.

The maintainer decision now explicitly accepts the scoped-freshness delay. That settles the choice raised by the earlier P2 without changing the behavior; session.md:81–85 still requires the projection regression test during integration. I am not repeating that finding.

Verification: GitHub-only static delta review, including comparison with the last published review. No builds, tests or fuzzing run. The current head's Quest check succeeded, but I have not verified full CI or interop for this head; the PR's detailed validation still names the previous head.

Reviewed changes

Read 26b07729f and the 8a04aa16c merge for the delta since the prior pullfrog review at 42c479b; the draft, codecs, and router context was re-read where the delta touched them.

• Draft ranks draining sessions last. Claim resolution now prefers a session that has not received a GOAWAY before local priority, which matches the Routing tie-break (drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:490) and the GOAWAY section (:1936).
• Fuzz corpus seeds the route arms. Kind-5 seeds now decode ROUTE_UPDATE, ROUTE_END, ANNOUNCE_FLOOR, and ROUTE_HOLD, closing the coverage gap the prior review raised.
• Route docs name ROUTE_HOLD. has_routes and Out::Route list it, so a held reach no longer reads as a ROUTE_UPDATE.
• A/A wording separates noise from unconfirmed cases. The quest now states the 20-case CONFIRMATIONS budget and the six shared-group crossings it left unconfirmed (bench/compare.py:163).

The four new seeds decode byte for byte (type, varint size, then the expected fields), and the bench-ci counts are consistent with 26 - CONFIRMATIONS(20) = 6. Both prior pullfrog threads are fixed and resolved. The only remaining gap is that ROUTE_START itself still has no deterministic seed, noted inline.

Reviewed commit: ea55b48

No new actionable findings. Compared with my last published review and the intervening merge review:

• The ROUTE_START seed at rs/moq-net/src/fuzz.rs:1279 decodes the intended Lite07 route message, and the new test checks every typed seed.
• The pending-request rule at drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:512 now matches the existing router: retain the highest requested Seqno, resend when it rises, and suppress equal/older requests. The added routing test covers these cases.

The direction remains consistent with staged route integration. The accepted scoped-freshness tradeoff is unchanged; its projection regression remains assigned to session integration.

Verification: GitHub-only static review; no builds, tests, or fuzzing run. The author reports current-head CI and 58 focused tests passing. The 205-check interop run was on 81395cf with MOQ_QUEST unset, not this head. GitHub's current Check workflow is still in progress.

Read ea55b4826 against the prior pullfrog review at 81395cf9f, with the draft, the AnnounceBroadcast codec, the router, and the fuzz corpus for context.

• ROUTE_START gains a deterministic seed. The typed lite seeds moved into TYPED_LITE_SEEDS, including (5, [6, 4, 1, 0, 1, 0]), and typed_lite_seeds_decode asserts every one of them decodes whole. That closes the gap the prior review flagged: the sweep's prefixed form takes the body type from len but the size byte from fill, so no swept ROUTE_START decoded.
• The draft raises a pending request. The pending-request rule now says a node keeps the highest Seqno requested, drops requests no newer, and sends again when its Seqno rises or its selected peer changes, matching Router::request.
• The router behaviour is pinned. a_newer_request_raises_the_pending_one covers the forward, a duplicate that does not resend, a newer Seqno that raises and resends, and an older one that is dropped.

I ran the crate tests locally: cargo test -p moq-net --all-features --lib fuzz::tests (5 passed), route::tests (53 passed, including the new test), and the new typed_lite_seeds_decode. The 0x6 seed decodes as type 6, size 4, node 1, seqno 0, metric 1, bit 0, and roundtrip returns false on any decode error, so the test genuinely proves the arm was reached. The draft wording matches rs/moq-net/src/route/mod.rs:719 (a higher Seqno raises and clears asked) and the resend at asked != target. Both prior threads are addressed and the branch is otherwise unchanged since the last review.
