Problem

moq-net's memory, origin, and session benchmarks panic on main, preventing Nightly's net and relay paired results. A complete measured sweep at main fcc3016df5 reproduced all three failures; test mode also reproduced origin and session failures.

Approach

• Use covering discovery for origin cursors watching an ancestor route through narrower scopes.
• Use expiry-only pools in memory and session delivery fixtures. Advance their cache clocks between rounds to reclaim read history while preserving every unread frame in the current batch.
• Keep cleanup outside delivery timing and allocation counting. Join, churn, and stale-history fixtures retain their previous cache policy. The production relay benchmark shares the delivery fixture.

Impact

• Public API and wire: none. Only benchmark fixtures and quest bookkeeping change.
• Memory estimates have a new baseline because inter-round reclamation moves outside delivery timing. Do not compare historical results across this harness change; no performance improvement is claimed.

Alternatives

Byte-pressure shedding is intentionally lossy and remains covered by cache unit tests. A finite byte-budget margin for lossless delivery coupled the fixture to private expiry and latest-group rules, and still failed the measured relay credit case. Expiry already bounds delivery history, so the final implementation removes that redundant margin.

Validation

All expensive commands ran through quest gate in the Nix dev shell.

After merging main (including the discovery API rename), just ci passed: 3,939 Rust tests passed, 22 skipped; all selected checks passed. quest check --base origin/main --branch quest/m1/bench-test-mode also passed (587 documents). The benchmark sweeps below passed on the previous head.

• cargo test -p moq-net --features fuzz --benches --no-fail-fast: passed. Complete runs took 16m37s and 17m13s on this shared host, excluding gate admission.
• cargo bench -p moq-net --features fuzz --no-fail-fast --bench '*' -- --quick: passed every target.
• cargo bench -p moq-net --features fuzz --bench session -- --quick: passed the complete session sweep.
• cargo bench -p moq-relay --features test-support --bench session -- --quick: passed the complete relay sweep.
• MEMORY_ALLOCS=1 cargo bench -p moq-net --bench memory: passed every stream/size case with cleanup excluded from counting.
• just check, just ci (including reruns after review changes), and quest check --base origin/main: passed.

The task brief records the host's inherited PYTHONPATH failure in CARLA's sim/python.test.sh as pre-existing on unchanged main, also tracked by moq-dev/moq#7710. This session's checks passed; the environment and harness were not altered to bypass it.

Review

Claude Code, Claude Opus 5.5, medium effort (quest review --base origin/main --branch quest/m1/bench-test-mode), round 3. Reviewed head 69e4192e46489ce530bb1a8b4bf35cd0b4e67a59: zero findings.

After merging origin/main (clean, no conflicts in the PR's files), Codex gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort (quest review --base origin/main --branch quest/m1/bench-test-mode) reviewed head 8ce1f12b25380294a49d29a1a666d2e63ececda2: zero findings.

Earlier findings were fixed: delivery-only expiry, allocation accounting, baseline documentation, removal of cache-budget multipliers, model-clock comments, and fixture policy placement.

Follow-ups

moq-dev/moq#7928 owns the remaining bench-ci calibration; quest/m1/bench-ci.md is unchanged. Its moq-net A/A run is now possible using the repaired fixtures on both legs, either at this branch's head or after merge. Comparing against unfixed main still encounters the baseline panics. Paired calibration remains owned by the bench-ci agent. No workflow was dispatched.

Decisions

• ✅ Decided 2026-11-05 (maintainer, /quest-plan): catch the next moq-net bench break in Nightly's measured coverage only. No test-mode bench run in the PR gate, which would cost about 17 minutes per PR. No Nightly workflow is dispatched by this PR.
• The benchmark repair quest is complete and removed with its links. The Nightly epic retains the coverage decision and owns scheduled-run confirmation.

Design change: retain delivery byte budgets and scope idle expiry to delivery fixtures. The first review rejected permanently disabling byte budgets and found that applying expiry to every model pool would alter stale-history joins. Delivery now budgets for expiry's activity-dating pass, two retained batches plus the incoming batch. Join, churn, and stale-history fixtures keep their prior policy. Memory timing now excludes inter-round history reclamation, so this is a new benchmark baseline.

Design change: delivery uses expiry-only pools, with history reclaimed between rounds outside delivery timing and allocation counting. Join, churn, and stale-history fixtures keep their prior cache policy. The finite-budget experiment reproduced a relay credit failure and tied the fixture to private expiry boundaries and latest-group protection; the latest review recommended removing that redundant margin. Existing cache unit tests continue to cover deliberate frame shedding under byte pressure. This is a new memory benchmark baseline, with no performance improvement claimed.

Walkthrough

The PR updates memory and session benchmark cache setup and timing, changes the origin benchmark’s scoped cursors to use covering mode, and revises the Nightly and m1 benchmark plans. Session benchmarks now support expiry-only pools and optional capacity settings. The Nightly plan records the repairs and specifies measured coverage for future benchmark breaks without adding a test-mode PR-gate run.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(net): keep benchmark delivery batches readable" names the core change: the moq-net benchmark fixtures were repaired so they stop panicking. It does not name the panics or the expiry-only cache pools, and "readable" is a little vague. Still, the title refers to the benchmark delivery fixture work that makes up most of the changeset, so it is related to the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the problem (moq-net memory, origin, and session benchmarks panic on main), the approach (covering discovery for origin cursors, expiry-only pools for delivery fixtures, cleanup outside timing), the impact, validation, and follow-ups. It matches the changeset closely.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 15 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Reviewed changes

• Expiry-only delivery pools: Cluster<B> gained an expiry flag, and the delivery Room constructs with it so every relay and origin pool is unbounded in bytes with the 30s cache::DEFAULT_EXPIRY window. Join, churn, dash, withdrawal, and range-update fixtures keep RELAY_CACHE/CLIENT_CACHE.
• Inter-round clock advance: Room::tick steps cache_now by a full expiry window (1s under SESSION_EXPIRY_ONLY) and polls every pool outside timing; the previous resize(None) + capacity.max(used*2) handover hack is gone.
• Backend::relay capacity becomes Option<u64>: None means expiry-only, threaded through the model backend, the production relay backend, and make_origin.
• Memory fixture: both origin pools are expiry-only, Link::tick reclaims between rounds, and allocation counting now wraps only the timed round instead of all of measure.
• Origin reprice fixture: bench_reprice_duplicate cursors add .covering(), so a cursor scoped to **.stats/p0/node/edge0/p{N} sees the ancestor route announced at PATH again.
• Quest bookkeeping: the completed quest file and its m1 Required line are deleted, and the Nightly epic records the repair pointer plus the 2026-11-05 decision that Nightly's measured run is the detector.

I checked the expiry path against the fixture rather than the comments: Pool dates activity at the next poll and exempts only a live track's latest group, so a batch written in round N is dated at tick N+1 and reclaimed at tick N+2 — it survives a full round after its last read, which is what keeps unread frames readable and leaves one round of slack for a paced reader. The wall-clock deadline release that a jumped now_wall() triggers cannot fire mid-batch, since tick only runs after a round's reads complete. moq_relay::cache::Config::init with capacity = None resolves to unbounded bytes plus DEFAULT_EXPIRY, so the relay fixture matches the model one.
