Finishes quest/m0/test-flakes-2/ietf-wider-fill.md: re-enables draft-22: a wider fill is refused in %s order in both orders, with its assertions unchanged.

Cause

Group 9 is the latest group when the subscription starts, so it is served live. With the authored-track default of zero max age (moq-dev/moq#7729), the live group 10 superseding it makes #expire give up group 9's stream. If the publisher has not written group 9's FIN yet, the stream is reset mid-write, and the test's read of it throws. Whether the publisher gets there first is a microtask race with the test's read of the refused fill. This is correct production behavior, so the fault was in the fixture.

The fixture already gets maxAge: null from moq-dev/moq#7852, which landed while the test was quarantined. That removes the budget the race depends on, so this PR only lifts the skip and documents why the track has no max age. The fill stream opening first is by construction: startFill runs before any live group is served.

Evidence

The commands below run from the repo root. Each run is --rerun-each=100, which is 200 cases across both orders.

Tree Command Result
Base b50557d590 (the recorded reproduction) quest gate bun test --rerun-each=100 --test-name-pattern='a wider fill' js/net/src/ietf/publisher.test.ts 19/200 fail, reset in #runGroup
Base + maxAge: null same 0/200 fail
main, skip removed, maxAge: null dropped same 24/200 fail
This PR same with --rerun-each=500 0/1000 fail
This PR, loaded quest gate bun test in js/net, 5 runs target test 5/5 pass (one run hit an unrelated flake, below)
This PR python3 sh/js/workspace.py test over the changed file (@moq/net and its dependents) pass

How I confirmed the mechanism: I added a log to #runGroup's catch, and every failure showed reset 9n finished=false from #expire. With a frozen manual clock it still failed 13/40, so wall-clock timestamps alone are not the cause. Advancing the clock before appending the live group passed 40/40, because the advance flushes the microtasks that let group 9 finish first.

Limits: these are local runs on one host under its normal concurrent load, not CI.

Other checks: quest check --base origin/main passes. In just check, biome, check js (tsc and build), markdown, quest, shell, toml, nix, and gh passed. test js failed once, but its output was lost when the run hit the time limit inside test gh. The rerun of the JS tests for the changed package above passed.

Choices made without asking

  • Kept maxAge: null instead of a manual clock or an explicit wait for group 9. The budget is not what this test checks, and an unbounded max age removes the race entirely, while a wait would only reorder it.

Review

Codex gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, via quest review --base origin/main (session 01a1b038-3400-7ae0-aac7-ab7b3150cd10, round 1), reviewed head 41d6252e6740a23bbdf062641046626693ba731b: no findings.

Head 6cde9e6347d89d93b3f2c1bc28a79f21f764b5b6: review skipped by the authoring model (Claude Opus 5.5). Since the reviewed head it adds only 102257a95b, a conflict-free merge of origin/main (empty git show --remerge-diff), and 6cde9e6347, a one-line test assertion tightening (toBeDefined() → toBeInstanceOf(StreamError)) applying CodeRabbit's suggestion in #7999 (comment) — too trivial to need a review.

Public API / wire

None.

Suggested follow-ups

  • moq-lite-06: a session close right after a datagram track's end keeps the end (js/net/src/lite/datagram-tracks.test.ts) failed 1 of 5 loaded js/net runs with subscribe error ... remote error: 0. No quest or open PR tracks it. Per the repo rule, quarantine it and investigate.

Group 9 is the latest group when the subscription starts, so it is
served live. Under the default zero max age, the live group superseding
it gave up its stream mid-write whenever the publisher had not yet
finished it, which raced the test's read of the refused fill. The
fixture's unbounded max age (from #7852) removes that budget, so the
test is deterministic in both orders.

Reviewed head: 41d6252

No actionable defects found. Re-enabling both ordering cases with the existing fixture setting is the appropriate scope; no production behavior change is needed for this test.

The source supports the diagnosed race: the publisher's default zero max age clamps the subscription budget and can abandon group 9 after group 10 arrives. The explicit maxAge: null removes that clamp, and commit 593ecc8 (#7852) confirms it was already applied while the test remained skipped. The restored cases still require a reset with no fill objects and the exact subsequent live payload; unexpected resets while reading group streams are not swallowed. Budget-driven resets retain separate test coverage.

Coverage: reviewed the changed test and quest files, relevant history, fill selection and stream ordering, mock transport behavior, track expiry, and the publisher's given-up/write paths.

Limits: static GitHub review only. I did not run quest context, builds, tests, or reproduce the author's stress-test results. The exact-head Check run was still in progress when checked.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

  • Wider-fill test re-enabled: js/net/src/ietf/publisher.test.ts drops test.skip from draft-22: a wider fill is refused in %s order, so both orders run with their assertions unchanged, and records why the track sets maxAge: null.
  • Quest retired: quest/m0/test-flakes-2/ietf-wider-fill.md is deleted and its ## Required bullet removed from the epic README; no other references to the quest remain.

I also checked the de-flake itself: cd js/net && bun test src/ietf/publisher.test.ts --rerun-each=20 -t 'a wider fill' passes 40/40 at this head, and temporarily removing maxAge: null reproduces the #runGroup reset, so that option is load-bearing rather than incidental and the race is in the live group stream as diagnosed.

ℹ️ The unrelated flake found during verification is still untracked

The body records js/net/src/lite/datagram-tracks.test.ts:454 failing 1 of 5 loaded js/net runs, with no quest or open PR behind it. AGENTS.md asks for a flaky test to be disabled immediately with a planned follow-up, and a follow-up held only in this PR body will go stale. Not blocking this change.

Technical details
# Untracked flake found during this PR's verification

## Affected sites
- `js/net/src/lite/datagram-tracks.test.ts:454` — `a session close right after a datagram track's end keeps the end`, observed failing 1 of 5 loaded `js/net` runs with `subscribe error ... remote error: 0`.

## Required outcome
- The sighting is tracked: either the test carries a `test.skip` quarantine with a quest child under `quest/m0/test-flakes-2/`, or an open PR investigates it.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- The test's end-wait is a `for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) await Promise.resolve();` drain, so a load-dependent scheduler is a plausible cause; the follow-up should judge that drain rather than raise its count.

Walkthrough

The draft-22 wider-fill test now runs for ascending and descending order. Its setup comment explains why the track uses maxAge: null. The README entry and investigation plan for the test flake are removed.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 41d62

The change is mergeable with bounded test-reliability follow-up: the restored test can fail under host suspension and can accept a clean close instead of the expected reset. No production behavior changes are identified.

Check the request ID when the fill header arrives.

If the header survives the reset, assert that served.requestId is 7n. Otherwise, the test can pass with an incorrect request ID. Keep accepting an absent header.

Add a planner-level assertion for wider fills.

If planning selects a missing group, the fill resets without objects and live delivery can continue. This test can still pass because both failures use the same wire reset code. Assert that the unfiltered wider range produces unsupported at the planner level.

  • Stream reset assertion tightened: draft-22: a wider fill is refused in %s order now requires served.reset to be a StreamError instance instead of merely defined, so a clean close with a partial header or a decode-level error can no longer satisfy the refusal check.

readFill passes reader errors through error(), which returns Error instances unchanged, and the Reader maps every transport reset through fromTransport to Stream/StreamError, so the stricter assertion holds on both the header-failure and object-loop paths. Verified locally: bun test src/ietf/publisher.test.ts --rerun-each=20 -t 'a wider fill' passes 40/40 at this head.

Reviewed head: 6cde9e6347d89d93b3f2c1bc28a79f21f764b5b6, incremental from 41d6252e6740a23bbdf062641046626693ba731b.

No new actionable findings.

The stronger assertion closes the clean-EOF false positive: readFill preserves a caught UnexpectedEnd, while Reader converts transport resets into Stream errors. Requiring StreamError therefore checks an actual reset rather than any exception. Both ordering cases still require no fill objects and the exact subsequent live payload, and the existing maxAge: null fixture remains intact.

Direction: this focused assertion change is appropriate. There is no new evidence here to justify changing the shared stream-wait deadline or production behavior.

Limits: GitHub-only static review of the incremental change, net PR diff, surrounding helpers, and reset conversion. I did not run tests, quest context, or reproduce the reported stress runs. The exact-head Check job was still running when inspected.
