fix(net)!: route a datagram that shares a packet with its answer or its end - #7951
A publisher sends a track's first datagram right behind its answer (DATAGRAMS_INFO on lite-07, TRACK_INFO on lite-05/06), often in the same QUIC packet. The subscriber routed datagrams before it decoded answers, found no route, and dropped the datagram silently. Reproduced before the fix: the new Rust test failed 50/50 runs on each of lite-05, 06 and 07, and the JS lite-07 test failed every run.
Approach
Decided by the maintainer on 2026-11-05 (quest Plan): decode answers before routing datagrams, log and count what still can't be routed, no receive buffer, Rust and JS together.
Decisions
A track's end waits until the datagram reader catches up (maintainer, 2026-11-05, in reply to CodeRabbit's thread). A receive pass that stops at its budget can leave datagrams queued behind a track's end. A received end now applies once the reader reads the transport's queue empty, not merely after it yields to its budget, with the same rule in Rust and JS. Neither transport reports how many datagrams it holds, so an exact "queued when the end arrived" snapshot isn't possible.
✅ Until the reader catches up (recommended)
Exact queue snapshot: needs a queued-count method on every Rust transport, and JS can't match it.
Decline the finding.
Trade-off: a flood that never lets the queue empty delays that track's finish, and may route datagrams that arrived after the end. The bound comes from the follow-up below.
Follow-up, part of the same decision: each serve keeps its stream until its end applies (maintainer, 2026-11-05, after Codex review found ended tracks piling up under a flood once their serves released stream credit). The peer's stream credit therefore bounds the ends a flood can leave queued, and JS already behaved this way.
✅ Hold the stream (recommended)
Carry an end over at most one poll: bounded, but a burst over about 3 budgets in front of an end can lose its tail.
Refute it: growth needs both a sustained flood and local subscription churn.
The ordering has to hold at both ends of a track: a track's first datagram comes right behind its answer, and its last datagram right before its end. Each can share a receive pass with its stream message.
Rust:SubscriberDriver::poll routes datagrams on both sides of the sources, which decode the answers that register routes and the ends that remove them.
Before the sources, it routes every datagram whose track is known, so a last datagram goes ahead of its track's end. It holds each datagram whose track isn't known yet.
After the sources, it routes the held datagrams, then the rest, dropping and counting each that still finds no track.
A datagram track's clean end (its route removal and finish) is queued while the sources run and applied after that second pass (Subscriber::end_datagrams), so a fresh track's answer, first datagram and end can share one pass. That covers a lite-07 track, a lite-05/06 datagram request, and a lite-05/06 stream track's serve (SharedDatagrams::end). On lite-05/06, a removed subscription keeps its datagram mapping until then. Error ends still remove the route at once.
Those ends apply only once a pass reads the transport's queue empty (DatagramRecv::caught_up), so datagrams a budget-cut pass left queued with an end still route. Until then each serve that queued one keeps its stream and session work (DatagramState::Ending, TrackRunState::Ending, released by DatagramEnds::applied), so the peer's stream credit bounds them. Only a clean lite-05/06 end queues the subscription's id→name mapping now.
What it holds is bounded by the pass's 32-datagram coop budget, and is empty again by the end of every driver poll. Within a subscription, datagrams keep their order.
JS: there is no single poll pass, so a datagram for a subscription still awaiting its answer (a lite-07 request in flight, or a lite-05/06 SUBSCRIBE in #pending) is held and routed one host task later (yieldNow). That lets an answer the transport already delivered finish decoding first.
Other tracks' datagrams keep routing meanwhile, and per-subscription order is kept.
Holding is bounded at 32, like a Rust pass. Past that, a datagram is dropped and counted, so the receive loop never stalls other tracks.
A track's end (lite-07 DATAGRAMS FIN, lite-05/06 SUBSCRIBE end) waits a host task, then waits while the receive loop is paused on a budget yield (#receiveYield), and for that subscription's held datagrams, before it finishes the track. Its stream closes only after that, so stream credit bounds it as in Rust. A session close in that window finishes the track rather than aborting it, as Subscriber.close() already does for a stream track its publisher ended.
Both: a datagram that still finds no datagram track is logged at debug and counted.
Impact
Rust moq_net::session::Stats::datagrams_unrouted: Option<u64>, additive since Stats is #[non_exhaustive]. It counts datagrams received for a subscription with no datagram track: one unknown, ended, or still unanswered. Session::stats() reads it live. It is None on versions without datagrams (moq-transport, moq-lite before 05).
JS Connection.Stats.datagramsUnrouted?: number, the same counter, absent on those versions.
Breaking (C ABI):moq_connection_stats gains datagrams_unrouted and datagrams_unrouted_valid at its end. To migrate, recompile against the new header. The MIGRATE notes are in rs/moq-c and c/moq.
Bindings: moq-ffi MoqConnectionStats.datagrams_unrouted (#[uniffi(default = None)]), Go ConnectionStats.DatagramsUnrouted, and Python ConnectionStats.datagrams_unrouted (defaults to None). The Dart bindings are regenerated, and Kotlin and Swift alias the generated record. The per-language docs list the field.
No wire change.
Choices made without asking
Where the counter lives. I put it in the per-session session::Stats (Rust) and connection Stats (JS and bindings), so every language reads it from the same place, with no stats registry needed. Not chosen: stats::Presence in the registry, which JS has no counterpart for. Traffic doesn't fit either, since an unknown Subscribe ID names no broadcast.
What it counts. Only datagrams with no route. Padding, oversized bodies, and decode errors keep their existing handling.
The JS host-task hold. It applies only while the datagram's subscription awaits its answer, so steady-state routing never holds. It is the closest JS gets to "decode answers first" without a poll pass.
The end-race fix. The tracks' last datagrams before their end are in scope. Review found that polling sources first (and JS's FIN) could drop them, which would have traded one race for its mirror.
Alternatives
Settled in the quest Plan:
buffering datagrams per unanswered subscription (peer-influenced state needing a bound);
holding datagrams at the publisher until the answer is acknowledged (about one RTT of datagrams lost per subscription);
logging the loss only.
Validation
Rust: datagram::a_datagram_sent_right_behind_its_answer_arrives (also with an immediate finish) and datagram::a_datagram_sent_right_before_its_end_arrives, both on lite-05/06/07 and asserting datagrams_unrouted == Some(0). Every moq-net datagram test passed 30/30 stress runs on the final head.
The first failed 50/50 per version before the fix. Its finish variant dropped the datagram on lite-05, and then on lite-07, until the deferred end landed.
The second failed (lite-05 dropped the last datagram) with sources polled first.
datagram::a_stream_tracks_datagram_sent_between_its_answer_and_end_arrives (lite-05/06) serves a stream track whose answer, a datagram on its name's datagram track, and its end share one pass. It counted the datagram unrouted on both versions until SharedDatagrams::end deferred its clean end, and then passed under 30 random MOQ_SIM_SEEDs.
Unit test a_datagram_waits_for_the_sources_before_it_is_dropped covers hold, deliver, count, and a known track routing past a held datagram.
Unit test an_end_waits_for_the_datagrams_queued_with_it drives SubscriberDriver::poll with 100 datagrams queued beside an end, more than one poll's two passes. It failed ("one poll read the whole queue") before the caught-up gate.
datagram::a_track_ended_under_a_datagram_flood_keeps_its_stream (lite-05/06/07) keeps the receive queue full, finishes the track, and asserts the session stays busy for 32 turns, then that the track ends and the session goes idle once the flood stops.
Unit tests that drive TrackServeRun without a driver go through poll_run, which applies the queued ends after each poll as the driver does.
JS tests in src/lite/datagram-tracks.test.ts pass (38/38, 10/10 repeated runs):
"behind its answer" (lite-05/06/07, the answer on time and 100 microtasks late, each with and without an immediate end);
"before its end" (lite-05/06/07);
"an unanswered track's datagrams don't delay another track's last", with 40 held datagrams, past the cap;
"a session close right after a datagram track's end keeps the end" (lite-05/06/07), which got a session error on all three before DatagramEntry.ended;
"a burst sent right before its end arrives past a budget yield" (lite-05/06/07). It stubs Budget.prototype.poll to yield a host task every 32 checks, and failed on lite-07 (45 of 64 arrived) before #receiveYield. lite-05/06 already passed in the mock, since their end takes more host tasks.
The cap case fails with the old await. The lite-05/06 teardown wait didn't reproduce as a failure in the mock, but the end path has no guaranteed host-task boundary, so it stays as an explicit ordering. The lagging test transports now copy each chunk, since a write resolves before they forward it. Without the copy, a reused buffer sent a duplicate SUBSCRIBE_FINISH.
Merged origin/main for moq-dev/moq#7806 (the Route publishing API), ported this PR's tests to route(...).broadcast(), then merged moq-dev/moq#7988 and dropped the finished quest from quest/m2/recut-held.md's Required.
quest gate just ci origin/main: passed on 04a53405db (rs, js, py, c, cpp, obs, kt, swift, go, dart, gh, quest). Two earlier runs on eb0c56312b failed only in io_uring tests in moq-relay and moq-uring: io_uring setup failed: Cannot allocate memory ... RLIMIT_MEMLOCK (8192 KiB), shared by every process of this user. That's host contention from parallel sessions; the third run passed unchanged.
cargo test -p moq-net --doc fails on main's own model::origin_impl::Route doctest (create_track("catalog.json", Default::default()), E0283), which this PR doesn't touch and just ci doesn't run.

The lite subscriber driver now polls its sources, which decode DATAGRAMS_INFO
and TRACK_INFO, before it routes datagrams, so a datagram sent right behind its
answer finds its route. A datagram that still finds none is logged at debug and
counted in session::Stats::datagrams_unrouted.

A JS datagram for a subscription still awaiting its answer waits one host task,
so an answer the transport already delivered decodes first, and one whose track
registered during its decode is looked up again. A datagram that still finds no
track is logged at debug and counted in Stats.datagramsUnrouted.

Polling sources first let a FIN that shares a receive pass with the track's
last datagram remove its route before the datagram was routed. The driver now
routes the datagrams of known tracks before the sources, holds the first one
with no known track until the sources decode their answers, and routes it after.
JS lets the datagrams already received route before a DATAGRAMS FIN finishes
the track.

…ms_unrouted in bindings
The pre-sources pass now holds every datagram with no known track instead of
stopping at the first, so an unanswered subscription's datagram can't hold a
known track's last datagram behind that track's end. The held datagrams are
bounded by the pass's budget and routed in the same driver poll.
moq-ffi's MoqConnectionStats, the C moq_connection_stats (an ABI change), and
the Go and Python wrappers carry the counter; Dart bindings regenerated.

…queue
A JS datagram for a subscription still awaiting its answer no longer suspends
the receive loop for a host task: it is held, in arrival order, and routed a
host task later while other tracks' datagrams go on, so an answered track's
last datagram isn't left behind its end. Holding is bounded like a Rust pass.

A datagram sent right behind its answer reaches the subscriber
fix(net)!: route a datagram that shares a packet with its answer or its end
Nov 5, 2026
[P2] Replay held datagrams before finishing the Rust route — rs/moq-net/src/lite/subscriber.rs:1093–1095. If DATAGRAMS_INFO, its only datagram, and FIN arrive in one receive pass, the first pass holds the unknown datagram. Polling sources then handles both the answer and FIN, removes the route and finishes the producer before replay, so the datagram is dropped. Defer completion until newly routable held datagrams are delivered; add an immediate producer.finish() to the first-datagram regression.
[P2] Avoid blocking other tracks at the JS held-queue cap — js/net/src/lite/subscriber.ts:2443–2445. The sole receive loop waits every 32 held datagrams. A backlog for unanswered A can require multiple routing turns before B's already-received last datagram is reached, while B's FIN waits only one turn and removes its route. Test a backlog larger than one batch ahead of B; bounded dropping for unanswered subscriptions can avoid blocking other tracks.
Holding datagrams across answer registration is the right direction, but completion and fairness need to preserve the same guarantee. Verification: GitHub-only static review; I did not execute either scenario or tests.

Important
The Rust half still drops a datagram whose answer and end are decoded in the same source poll: a fresh subscription's only datagram, written just before the track finishes, is held and then replayed into a route the source has already removed. Reproduced on lite-05, 06 and 07; the JS half delivers the same case. Details and a fix direction inline.
Reviewed changes
Rust route ordering.SubscriberDriver::poll routes datagrams on both sides of sources.poll: pass 1 sends known tracks' datagrams ahead of any end and holds the rest, pass 2 replays them and counts what still finds no track. route_datagram returns the unrouted Subscribe ID, and held stays inside one 32-datagram pass.
JS hold-aside. A datagram for a subscription awaiting its answer is queued and routed one host task later, bounded at 32, with per-subscription order via #isHeld; the lite-07 FIN waits a host task before finishing the track.
datagrams_unrouted.session::Stats, @moq/netConnection.Stats, the C ABI (with MIGRATE notes on both sides), the moq-ffi record, and the Go/Python/Dart records plus the six per-language doc pages. sh/rs/stats-docs.py passes.
Tests. Two Rust integration cases (answer, end) across lite-05/06/07, a Rust unit test for hold/deliver/count, and three JS cases including the cross-track fairness one. I ran both Rust suites and the JS file: all pass.
Quest.answer-race.md and its epic bullet are removed with no dangling references, and the FFI datagram flake quest now points at this PR.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Lite subscribers now hold or retry datagrams that arrive before subscription answers or datagram tracks are registered. They defer track endings until associated datagrams are routed and count datagrams that remain unroutable. The counter is propagated through session statistics and exposed through the C, Dart, Go, JavaScript, Kotlin, Python, and Swift APIs. Tests cover delayed answers, datagrams sent before track completion, and buffering limits. Documentation describes the counter and its protocol-version availability.
Severity of issue fixed: Medium
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 004c4
The change fixes the race where a datagram arrives with its track's answer or end. A large burst of datagrams sent just before a track ends can still lose the trailing datagram, on both the Rust and JS receivers. The loss is bounded to heavy-backlog edge cases and the datagram is counted as unrouted. It should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#7882] Rust retries unrouted datagrams only in the same driver poll. JS retries them after one host task. Both drop a datagram if its registered subscription is still awaiting its answer at that boundary. The change therefore does not preserve the start-rule datagram when TRACK_INFO is delayed beyond that boundary. The current tests cover immediate answers and short delays, not that case. The incremental diff from the previous review was unavailable; the reviewed-head routing diff confirms the limitation.
Resolution
Handle datagrams for registered, unanswered subscriptions until acceptance or termination, with an appropriate bound, or prevent them from arriving before acceptance. Add automated coverage for a start-rule datagram when the answer is delayed beyond the current retry boundary.

The test sends a second datagram after await reader.info(), but it never reads that payload. A regression that loses the second datagram without incrementing datagramsUnrouted would pass the current assertions.

… end
A fresh track's answer, first datagram and end can share a receive pass.
Rust now queues a datagram track's clean end (route removal and finish)
and applies it after the driver's second datagram pass; a lite-05/06
subscription's datagram mapping outlives its removal until then, and
DatagramServe's drop no longer removes an ended track's route. A receive
error counts the datagrams still held.
JS drops and counts a datagram past the hold cap instead of stalling the
receive loop, and both track ends wait for that subscription's held
datagrams to route. Tests cover the answer-then-end case on lite-05/06/07
and a held backlog past the cap; the lagging test transports copy each
chunk, since a write resolves before they forward it.
The docs state that datagrams_unrouted is reported on moq-lite 05+.

Re-reviewed the changes since 4e70bfe and the current diff against main.
No new actionable findings. Both previous findings are addressed:
Rust now preserves the route and legacy subscription mapping until the second datagram pass, then applies clean ends. The regression includes answer + first datagram + immediate finish on lite-05/06/07.
JS drops/counts overflow instead of blocking the receive loop at the held-queue cap. The fairness regression now queues 40 unanswered datagrams before another track's last datagram. Both end paths also wait for held datagrams to finish routing.
Direction: the deferred teardown and non-blocking overflow handling address the reported races; wait for required CI before merging.
Verification: GitHub-only static review; I did not run tests. The exact-head Check workflow is still in progress.

Defer clean termination in SharedDatagrams::end.
When a stream-first lite-05/06 subscription receives TRACK_INFO, a datagram, and the subscription end in one receive pass, the datagram can be held before the route is registered. SharedDatagrams::end currently removes legacy_datagrams immediately, so the final routing pass cannot resolve that datagram. Queue clean endings through datagram_ends.shared; keep error endings immediate.

Rust datagram ends deferred past the routing passes — DatagramServe queues a clean end in Subscriber::datagram_ends (tracks/shared/subscribes), and Subscriber::end_datagrams() applies it after poll_datagrams(waiter, false), so a fresh track's answer, first datagram and end can share one receive pass and the held datagram still finds its route.
Legacy key handed over on subscribe removal — remove_subscribe moves a removed lite-05/06 subscription's (path, name) into that pass's subscribes list, and datagram_target falls back to it, so a datagram received with the stream track's end still routes to its datagram track.
Held datagrams drained on a receive error — DatagramRecv::poll routes whatever it held before returning the transport error, so those datagrams are dropped and counted rather than silently lost.
JS end ordering and hold cap — #datagramsRouted (yieldNow plus draining the subscription's held entries) now gates both the lite-07 FIN and the lite-05/06 teardown, and #routeDatagram drops and counts past the 32-datagram hold instead of stalling the receive loop.
Regression coverage — the Rust answer-race test now also finishes immediately across lite-05/06/07, and the JS tests add answer+end variants per ALPN plus a 40-datagram fairness case past the cap.
Docs — the six per-language stats pages now scope the counter to moq-lite 05 and later.

Merged base into this PR and resolved the migration-guide conflict by retaining both the unrouted-datagram stats entry and the pre-encoded simulcast entry. No behavior changes were added. Rust, JavaScript, Go, Python, and Dart build/test checks passed. The first Rust test run intermittently failed model::track::test::pool_debt_sheds_a_flight_without_its_cached_group with "frame 500: 8402340 bytes held"; it passed alone and in the full rerun with four test threads. That test file is unchanged by this PR and the merge resolution.

A receive pass cut short by its budget leaves datagrams queued in the
transport, which may have come with a track's end, so applying the end then
drops them. Rust keeps the ends the sources read until a pass reads the
queue empty; JS waits while its receive loop yields to its budget. A peer
keeping the queue full delays its tracks' ends, holding nothing more.

…to Route
A track's end waits for the reader to catch up with the datagram queue, so a
serve that released its stream meanwhile let a flood pile up ended tracks
past the peer's stream credit. Each serve that queued an end now keeps its
stream, and its session work, until the end applies. Port this PR's tests to
the Route publishing API that main adopted.

No new actionable findings in the substantive changes since review 5793229479, excluding intervening main merges.
Rust now distinguishes an empty receive queue from a budget yield before applying pending datagram ends. The new Ending states retain the subscription stream and session work until those ends apply.
JS keeps end processing waiting across receive-budget yields and then finishes routing held datagrams. The earlier bounded-overflow and clean-end/session-close fixes remain intact.
Reviewed the 100-datagram Rust regression, forced-budget 64-datagram JS cases for lite-05/06/07, flood/stream-retention coverage, and the tests' Route API migration.
Direction: the changes address the trailing-datagram loss across budget boundaries. Continuous traffic can delay clean ends, consistent with the documented queue-empty policy. Wait for required CI before merging.
Verification: GitHub-only static review; I did not run tests. The exact-head Check workflow is still in progress.

This re-review covers the commits pushed since the last substantive pullfrog review (a0f73583e), including the clean base merge at 004c4842d and the design change that landed after it.
Deferred ends now wait for the reader to catch up — DatagramEnds gained applied: kio::Producer<()>, and Subscriber::end_datagrams() runs only when DatagramRecv::caught_up (the pass read the transport queue empty rather than stopping at its 32-datagram budget). poll_drain still applies ends unconditionally, since the session is closed and no more datagrams can arrive.
Serves keep their stream until their end applies — DatagramState::Ending { applied, writer } and TrackRunState::Ending { applied, active } hold the lite-07 DATAGRAMS writer and the lite-05/06 stream track's SubStream until applied closes, then finish via finish_sub. This is what makes the peer's stream credit bound the ends a flood can leave queued.
finish_subscribe replaces remove_subscribe for clean ends — it removes the subscription and hands its legacy key to datagram_ends.subscribes, returning the applied consumer, so datagram_target still routes while replaying. Error ends keep the immediate removal.
JS receive-yield gate — #receiveYield records the receive loop's budget yield, and #datagramsRouted now loops while it is set (awaiting it plus a yieldNow) or the subscription is held, so a track's end waits until the receive loop reads the queue empty. It gates both the lite-07 FIN and the lite-05/06 teardown.
Regression coverage — Rust an_end_waits_for_the_datagrams_queued_with_it (100 datagrams, asserts more than one poll) and a_track_ended_under_a_datagram_flood_keeps_its_stream (lite-05/06/07, 32 busy turns then idle); JS a burst sent right before its end arrives past a budget yield per ALPN, which failed on lite-07 before #receiveYield.
Quest cleanup — answer-race.md deleted, its epic Required line removed, and its entry dropped from quest/m2/recut-held.md's Required.
I traced the new state transitions for deadlock and lost-datagram paths: the end is queued during sources.poll and applied in the same driver poll when caught up, the budget yield that skips end_datagrams always registers a waker, and poll_drain applies ends before abort so a session close in the window finishes rather than aborts an already-ended datagram track. The flood-delays-ends trade-off is the maintainer's recorded decision and is bounded by stream credit, so I did not re-raise it.
The queue failed when moq-rs/tests/test_local.py::test_audio_consumer_reports_its_playout_delay timed out (failure log line 1270). This local audio test and its implementation are unchanged by this PR; the diff provides no evidence attributing the timeout to the PR. No mechanical fix was indicated, and the pinned head remains unchanged.
Validation passed: Python 125 tests, Rust nextest 4,013 tests, JavaScript 2,965 tests, Dart raw bindings 12 tests and wrapper 40 tests, and Go vet/build/race tests. Native validation used the installed libclang through LIBCLANG_PATH; local recipes used LOCAL_SUPERVISED=1. Dart bindings matched regenerated output.
Two additional failures during initial validation did not recur: JavaScript's a flood of a peer's listing churn yields to the host's tasks timed out during concurrent compilation, then the full suite passed; Rust's model::track::test::pool_debt_sheds_a_flight_without_its_cached_group failed under plain cargo test, then passed with the complete suite under nextest. Please follow up the logged Python audio timeout as intermittent.
It stalled the merge queue for #7951 and again for #7904 with the same
first-read TimeoutError, unrelated to either PR.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The case drains only microtasks before aborting, but the end's routing starts with a host-task yield, so a loaded run aborts the track instead of finishing it. It fails 3 of 4 loaded runs here and on unchanged main, from #7951.
Quarantine the lite-05/06/07 loop with every assertion kept, and add the follow-up quest child that records the reproduction and the lead. Check's failure is `@moq/net test: (fail) moq-lite-06: a session close right after a datagram track's end keeps the end`.

Closes #7882.
Finishes quest/m1/datagram-tracks/answer-race.md.
Problem
A publisher sends a track's first datagram right behind its answer (DATAGRAMS_INFO on lite-07, TRACK_INFO on lite-05/06), often in the same QUIC packet. The subscriber routed datagrams before it decoded answers, found no route, and dropped the datagram silently. Reproduced before the fix: the new Rust test failed 50/50 runs on each of lite-05, 06 and 07, and the JS lite-07 test failed every run.
Approach
Decided by the maintainer on 2026-11-05 (quest Plan): decode answers before routing datagrams, log and count what still can't be routed, no receive buffer, Rust and JS together.
Decisions
A track's end waits until the datagram reader catches up (maintainer, 2026-11-05, in reply to CodeRabbit's thread). A receive pass that stops at its budget can leave datagrams queued behind a track's end. A received end now applies once the reader reads the transport's queue empty, not merely after it yields to its budget, with the same rule in Rust and JS. Neither transport reports how many datagrams it holds, so an exact "queued when the end arrived" snapshot isn't possible.
Trade-off: a flood that never lets the queue empty delays that track's finish, and may route datagrams that arrived after the end. The bound comes from the follow-up below.
Follow-up, part of the same decision: each serve keeps its stream until its end applies (maintainer, 2026-11-05, after Codex review found ended tracks piling up under a flood once their serves released stream credit). The peer's stream credit therefore bounds the ends a flood can leave queued, and JS already behaved this way.
The ordering has to hold at both ends of a track: a track's first datagram comes right behind its answer, and its last datagram right before its end. Each can share a receive pass with its stream message.
SubscriberDriver::pollroutes datagrams on both sides of the sources, which decode the answers that register routes and the ends that remove them.finish) is queued while the sources run and applied after that second pass (Subscriber::end_datagrams), so a fresh track's answer, first datagram and end can share one pass. That covers a lite-07 track, a lite-05/06 datagram request, and a lite-05/06 stream track's serve (SharedDatagrams::end). On lite-05/06, a removed subscription keeps its datagram mapping until then. Error ends still remove the route at once.DatagramRecv::caught_up), so datagrams a budget-cut pass left queued with an end still route. Until then each serve that queued one keeps its stream and session work (DatagramState::Ending,TrackRunState::Ending, released byDatagramEnds::applied), so the peer's stream credit bounds them. Only a clean lite-05/06 end queues the subscription's id→name mapping now.#pending) is held and routed one host task later (yieldNow). That lets an answer the transport already delivered finish decoding first.#receiveYield), and for that subscription's held datagrams, before it finishes the track. Its stream closes only after that, so stream credit bounds it as in Rust. A session close in that window finishes the track rather than aborting it, asSubscriber.close()already does for a stream track its publisher ended.Impact
