Problem

datagrams_cross_a_default_connection (quarantined) and its still-enabled sibling requested_datagrams_cross_a_default_connection time out in CI waiting for one datagram. CI logs show five such failures from 2026-11-04 to 2026-11-05. All five timed out on consumer.recv() after info() resolved, and all were lite-06. requested_datagrams_cross_lite07 never failed in those runs.

Reproduced locally by stressing the three cases on 2 pinned cores alongside six CPU hogs (--stress-count 1500 --test-threads 48). Of 4500 lite-06 runs, 34 failed. Of 1500 lite-07 runs, none failed. Send/route diagnostics on a failing run:

legacy asks datagrams events                 # server: TRACK's legacy ask joins the datagram track
track_info answers from datagrams (poll)     # server: TRACK_INFO answered from it
client accepts shared datagrams              # client: info() resolves, route registered
append                                       # test writes the datagram
legacy asks datagrams events                 # server: the SUBSCRIBE joins afresh, past the datagram
subscribe 1 serves datagrams

No send happened and no route was missed. This is not transport loss; it is a lifecycle race. On lite-05/06 the client pipelines TRACK and SUBSCRIBE on separate streams and treats TRACK_INFO as the publisher accepting the name. The datagrams only flow on the SUBSCRIBE, which joined the datagram track when it arrived. Anything written between the two was lost. The TRACK's own consumer also satisfied priority_changed(None), so the test's demand wait didn't catch it. The same gap exists for a name that has both a stream track and a datagram track: LegacyDatagrams::join joins only once the SUBSCRIBE runs.

Approach

  • The publisher session keeps a registry (HeldDatagrams) of datagram holds, one per answered lite-05/06 TRACK. A TRACK answered from its datagram track holds that track. A TRACK answered from a stream track holds the name's live datagram track, asking no handler. A hold is a passive observer (datagram::Consumer::observe, using moq-dev/moq#7959's passive consumers): it keeps a read position from the TRACK_INFO answer on and adds no demand.
  • When a SUBSCRIBE picks its datagram consumer, it adopts a clone of the oldest hold that reads that same track (is_clone). This happens in Legacy::live (the stream-track join), Legacy::poll_datagrams, and Legacy::datagrams. The clone keeps the hold's position, so the SUBSCRIBE reads from the answer on. The SUBSCRIBE adds demand only when it sets its priority, so a relayed join stays passive as main intends. A TRACK never adopts a hold.
  • Holds are matched at pick time and by track, not at request start or by name. So a SUBSCRIBE parked on a relayed stream track still finds a hold registered after it started. A hold left on a replaced or rerouted track never stands in for the current one.
  • The hold lasts as long as the held TRACK stream. The client keeps that stream open until the SUBSCRIBE has a response (HeldTrack), so the hold outlasts the SUBSCRIBE's arrival.
  • The JS publisher (js/net) had the same gap and mirrors the fix. runTrackInfo holds a passive observer (hooks.observeDatagramConsumer) in #heldDatagrams until the TRACK stream ends. #serveLegacyDatagrams and the stream path's legacy join call #adopt, which matches by track through hooks.datagramSameTrack.
  • Legacy::live factors out the answered-ask-or-live lookup that join already did.
  • New tests, in both Rust and JS: a_subscribe_sends_the_datagrams_written_since_its_track_info (lite-05/06, with and without a stream track, plus the SUBSCRIBE's priority standing beside a stream track) a_subscribe_reads_the_current_datagram_track_past_an_older_hold, and a_subscribe_reads_from_the_oldest_hold (two TRACKs open, a datagram written between them). Rust-only, because JS already picks at serve time: a_waiting_subscribe_sends_the_datagrams_written_since_its_track_info (SUBSCRIBE parked on a relayed broadcast's reserved stream track). All of them fail on the previous head ccd385598f.
  • Re-enables datagrams_cross_a_default_connection and requested_datagrams_cross_a_default_connection, which main had also quarantined in moq-dev/moq#7904 for the same symptom. It drops both sh/gh/test-inventory.allow entries and deletes the quest.

Impact

  • No public API change. Adds crate-private datagram::Consumer::observe and two internal JS hooks.
  • No wire change. This changes Rust and JS publisher behaviour only on lite-05/06: a SUBSCRIBE that follows an answered TRACK now also sends datagrams written since that answer.

Choices made without asking

  • Fix the publisher, not the test. Repeated sending would hide a real gap that any lite-06 datagram reader hits. Per the recorded decision, I added no retries.
  • Also hold beside a stream track. A TRACK answered by a stream track holds the name's live datagram track (if one exists) while the TRACK stream is held. Since the hold is passive, it adds no demand or priority. The buffer is the track's shared ring (64 datagrams / 64 KiB), so an idle hold adds no memory. A SUBSCRIBE that adopts a hold may send up to that buffer of datagrams written since the answer.
  • Adopt the oldest matching hold. If several TRACKs of one track are open, the SUBSCRIBE could follow any of them, so it reads from the earliest answer. A replay only duplicates, which the lossy datagram contract allows; a later answer would lose datagrams. This replaces the earlier newest-hold choice, per pullfrog's finding.
  • Keep a datagram-only TRACK's own interest in Rust. As before this PR, a TRACK answered from its datagram track keeps that answered consumer, at default priority, while its stream is open. Dropping it would leave a relayed copy with only passive readers (see Follow-ups). JS already closed it at the answer, so it still does.
  • Declined CodeRabbit's drain finding (thread). On lite-05/06 a subscription's end ends both kinds, as before this PR. Draining past SUBSCRIBE_FINISH would change end-of-subscription semantics for the non-hold path too.
  • No client-side signal. Making the client wait for something from the SUBSCRIBE would need the publisher to send it, and existing lite-06 publishers never would. New clients would then hang against them.

Alternatives

  • Send SUBSCRIBE_START for datagram-only subscriptions and have the client wait for it: breaks against published lite-06 peers.
  • Have TRACK_INFO for a datagram name wait for the SUBSCRIBE: deadlocks when the SUBSCRIBE needs the info first, or never comes.
  • Keep appending in the test until one arrives: hides the bug and was ruled out.

Validation

On 47484f0b37 (merge of origin/main at 609d71390e, plus the oldest-hold fix):

  • just check: passes.
  • cargo test -p moq-net --all-features --lib lite::publisher: 123 pass. The new a_subscribe_reads_from_the_oldest_hold failed before the fix.
  • cd js/net && bun test src/lite/publisher.test.ts -t 'TRACK_INFO|older hold|oldest hold': 9 pass. The new oldest-hold test failed for lite-05 and lite-06 with the previous publisher.ts.
  • just rs test -p moq-ffi --lib -E 'test(datagrams_cross)' --stress-count 50: 50 of 50 iterations pass.
  • just test interop --all was not run. This PR changes no wire format.

From earlier heads: on 3cef3b40e0, taskset -c 0-1 stress of datagrams_cross passed 500 of 500 iterations. Pinned-load stress (taskset -c 0-1 plus six hogs, 1500 iterations) failed 34 of 4500 lite-06 runs before the fix and passed 4500 of 4500 after.

Follow-ups

  • Lite subscriber spins once only passive readers remain (from moq-dev/moq#7959, and reachable without this PR). In rs/moq-net/src/lite/subscriber.rs, DatagramState::Live and Shared call producer.poll_priority(waiter, Some(*priority)). Once only passive consumers are left, the priority is None, so that call returns Ready(None) on every pass. close_unused() returns false because the passive slots remain, and the loop continues. The IETF subscriber tracks Option<i8> and avoids this. Reproduce it first: a relayed lite-07 datagram copy whose demanding reader leaves while a lite-05/06 stream subscriber's passive join (or a TRACK hold) remains.

Review

  • Codex gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, new session on the merged head.
  • Round 1 on 47484f0b37: one finding, refuted. It flagged the subscriber.rs busy loop (DatagramState::Live/Shared with only passive readers) as reachable through a TRACK hold. That bug predates this PR (it is reachable on main through a stream SUBSCRIBE's passive join), and the maintainer slated it for a separate follow-up quest, kept out of this PR. See Follow-ups.
  • Round 2 on 47484f0b37: no findings.
  • Online review threads: pullfrog's oldest-hold finding on 3cef3b40e0 is fixed and resolved. Earlier, on ccd385598f, the two [P2] findings and three CodeRabbit findings were fixed and resolved. CodeRabbit's drain finding was declined, with a reply in its thread.
  • Earlier sessions: Codex rounds on 39af688dc9 and 3cef3b40e0 reported no findings, as did the rounds on 2877bacd33 and 5831875435; round 1 on ad599d0334 found the missing JS fix.

…ACK_INFO

On lite-05/06 a requester reads TRACK_INFO as the publisher accepting a
name, but the datagrams flow on the SUBSCRIBE it pipelines on another
stream. That SUBSCRIBE joined the datagram track only when it arrived, so
a datagram written in between was never sent. Under CI load this timed
out the FFI datagram connection tests.

An answered TRACK now holds the name's datagram track, and a SUBSCRIBE
of the same name on the session reads from a clone of that hold. The
requester keeps its TRACK open until the SUBSCRIBE has a response, so
the hold outlasts the SUBSCRIBE's arrival.

Re-enables datagrams_cross_a_default_connection and finishes its quest.

Walkthrough

The JavaScript and Rust publishers retain datagram consumers from TRACK answers so later SUBSCRIBE requests can reuse matching track positions. Tests cover datagrams written between TRACK_INFO and SUBSCRIBE, concurrent holds, and track replacement. A JavaScript test adjusts budget polling during a microtask drain. Two default lite-06 FFI datagram tests are enabled, and their inventory entries and diagnostic documentation are removed.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 47484

The change fixes missed datagrams on lite-05/06 SUBSCRIBE. However, a relay whose TRACK stream stays open after its last active datagram consumer leaves may busy-loop or hold an upstream request open. Resolve the passive-only cleanup state before merging.

  • Rust publisher hold — Shared gains HeldDatagrams, an answered TRACK's datagram consumer is held (datagram-only answer, or the name's live datagram track beside a stream track) and released when the TRACK request drops, so the SUBSCRIBE's clone starts at the TRACK_INFO position.
  • Rust seeding — Legacy::new seeds its datagram ask from a matching hold, so both SubscribeServe paths (datagram-only and LegacyDatagrams::join) serve from the held position; Legacy::live() factors the answered-ask-or-live lookup out of join.
  • JS mirror — #heldDatagrams plus runTrackInfo/#serveLegacyDatagrams/stream-track legacy join read from a clone of the hold, matching the Rust behavior on lite-05/06.
  • Tests — new Rust test for lite-05/06 with and without a stream track, new parameterized JS test, datagrams_cross_a_default_connection re-enabled, its inventory entry and the completed quest removed.

I verified both guards independently: the Rust test fails with only Legacy::new's seeding reverted (left: 0, right: 1), and forcing #held to return undefined fails all four JS cases (Expected: 1, Received: 0). I also confirmed the hold outlives the SUBSCRIBE (RequestState::Hold keeps the request until the requester FINs, and both clients FIN the TRACK at the first SUBSCRIBE response) and that an idle hold adds no ring memory (State::push drops oldest regardless of readers), as the body claims. The approach fits the layer: the publisher is the only side that can bridge two streams it already answers.

  • Merge of origin/main into the branch — the only conflict, sh/gh/test-inventory.allow, was resolved correctly: main had already dropped the gst entry, so the branch removes just the datagrams_cross_a_default_connection entry. I confirmed the file has no entry for that test, rs/moq-ffi/src/test.rs still has its #[ignore] removed, and nothing under quest/ links to the deleted ffi-datagram-roundtrip.md.
  • Rest of the diff unchanged — the merged tree still shows the same 7-file diff against main (publisher.rs hold, Legacy seeding, JS #heldDatagrams mirror, new tests, re-enabled FFI test). Both new tests still pass on 5831875435.

No new code findings from this round; the approval on 2877bacd3 stands.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed current head 5831875435477dd04049298c7ef0a3b4c1597025 against base 6ca2ed5e359f6a64a040b93a443ec31a6a685123, including the main-merge update. The Rust/JS implementation and regression-test changes are unchanged by that merge.

Two P2 findings:

  • The Rust constructor-only hold lookup misses a SUBSCRIBE that was already waiting when its parallel TRACK registered the hold, leaving the original datagram-loss window on a relayed source.
  • Holds are matched to the logical broadcast rather than its current datagram source, so same-instance route replacement can make new requests reuse a retired source.

The publisher is the appropriate layer for bridging these two streams, and the retained cursor/bounded shared ring addresses the demonstrated late-arriving SUBSCRIBE case. I checked both legacy serving paths, TRACK ownership/teardown, datagram clone and buffer semantics, source replacement, the four version/kind combinations, FFI test reenabling, and quest/inventory cleanup. The inline comments give the missing schedules and fix directions. These findings are additional to the existing review.

Limits: GitHub-only static review. No local commands, tests, mutation/stress runs, or quest tooling were executed; these scenarios are source-derived, not locally reproduced. The PR's reported successful checks are not independent validation by this review. Exact-head Check was still in progress when checked.

The Check failure was a flake in js/net/src/lite/datagram-tracks.test.ts: moq-lite-06: a session close right after a datagram track's end keeps the end. It is pre-existing, not caused by this PR: I reproduced it with main's publisher.ts under CPU load (Session: remote error: 0 — the abort landed before the publisher had even flushed SUBSCRIBE_START).

Root cause: the test relied on 1000 microtasks to deliver the end, but a write-budget yield is a host task the microtask drain cannot advance, so under load the publisher's answer stalled behind it.

Fix pushed in ccd385598: the case now suppresses Budget yields (the same spyOn(Budget.prototype, "poll") pattern as the neighboring burst test) and drains 10× the hops, so the mock delivers the end in the same host task and the abort lands in the intended window.

Verified: full js/net suite 3024 pass / 3 skip / 0 fail; 34 loaded full-file runs of datagram-tracks.test.ts passed with the fix, while the unmodified test failed on multiple loaded runs (including against main's publisher). biome check and tsc --noEmit are clean.

Incremental review of head ccd385598fa811e4620eaa8fc39a5507f48b8a38 against the previously reviewed 5831875435477dd04049298c7ef0a3b4c1597025 (PR base 6ca2ed5e359f6a64a040b93a443ec31a6a685123).

No new findings in the test-only delta. I read the full datagram-track test file and traced the mock stream delivery, write-budget pause, subscriber end marker, and session teardown. Suppressing Budget.poll in this case removes the unrelated host-task pause without suppressing the explicit yieldNow() in Subscriber.#datagramsRouted, so the test still exercises closing the session after the end is observed but before deferred finishing. The spy is restored in finally; the neighboring burst test retains its forced-budget-yield coverage.

Neither implementation finding from the previous review is addressed by this commit: the pending-SUBSCRIBE hold lookup and superseded-source hold selection are unchanged. Those comments still apply; I have not duplicated them inline.

Limits: GitHub-only static review. No local commands, tests, stress runs, or quest tooling were executed. The reported loaded runs are the author's validation, not mine; the exact-head workflow query returned no PR-triggered runs.

…cks it

A lite-05/06 SUBSCRIBE now looks for a hold when it picks its datagram
consumer rather than when it starts, so one parked on a relayed stream
track still reads from the TRACK answered meanwhile. A hold is matched by
the track it reads, not the name, so a replaced track's hold never stands
in for the current one, and it sits at the lowest priority so it never
outranks the SUBSCRIBE. JS mirrors both.

Keeps main's passive legacy join (#7959) and makes the datagram hold a
passive observer too, so it keeps a position without adding demand:
a relayed SUBSCRIBE that adopts it stays passive as main intends.

Design change: a lite-05/06 SUBSCRIBE now adopts a TRACK's datagram hold when it picks its datagram consumer, not when it starts. It adopts only a hold that reads the same track as that consumer (is_clone), not one matched by broadcast and name. The hold is a passive observer that keeps a read position without adding demand. It is no longer a default-priority reader.

Why: the two [P2] review findings and the CodeRabbit findings on this PR. When the lookup ran at request start, a SUBSCRIBE parked on a relayed stream track missed a hold registered after it began. Matching by name let a replaced or rerouted track's hold stand in for the current one. A default-priority hold could also outrank the SUBSCRIBE's own priority. Passive consumers come from moq-dev/moq#7959, so a relayed SUBSCRIBE that adopts a hold stays passive, as main intends.

The approach (a per-session hold registry that a pipelined SUBSCRIBE reads from) is unchanged. Reviews of the new design start a new session (quest review --new).

Follow-up review of head 3cef3b40e0d7f0ad57a5eec6a2123b4541b9bec4 after the previously reviewed ccd385598fa811e4620eaa8fc39a5507f48b8a38, including the current diff against base 5d1d18b1a1a7e1ad892d589fbc238d7ec456062f.

No new actionable findings in the changed implementation. Both earlier P2 findings are addressed:

  • Pending SUBSCRIBE: Legacy::live, poll_datagrams, and datagrams now adopt at consumer selection, so a SUBSCRIBE parked before TRACK_INFO can discover the later hold. The new Rust regression exercises that ordering on lite-05 and lite-06.
  • Superseded source: Rust is_clone and JS datagramSameTrack match the actual datagram state after selecting the source. TRACK requests never adopt an older hold. The replacement regressions retain T1 while T2/SUBSCRIBE select B and assert B's payload. They test track replacement, not a complete same-instance route switch; I also traced the current-source lookup used by that switch.

The publisher-side approach still fits the race. I checked passive observer/clone semantics, the local-versus-relayed priority paths, hold release, both JS serving paths, and the test/inventory changes. The added hold no longer contributes default-priority demand; Rust deliberately retains the pre-existing datagram-only TRACK consumer separately. The documented passive-only lite-subscriber spin remains a separate, pre-existing follow-up, not a newly discovered finding here.

Limits: GitHub-only static review. I inspected the regressions but ran no local commands, tests, stress/mutation runs, or interop checks. The author's reported passing checks are not independent validation by this review. Exact-head Check was still in progress at the final recheck.

Important

The new hold selection picks the newest matching hold, so a SUBSCRIBE can start past a datagram written after its own TRACK_INFO when a second TRACK for the same name was answered first. One inline comment with the reproduced sequence and a one-line fix.

Reviewed changes

  • Keyed holds by datagram track — HeldDatagrams now stores (key, consumer) entries and find matches with Consumer::is_clone, so a hold left on a track that a route change replaced no longer stands in for the current one; the JS #heldDatagrams set and #adopt mirror it.
  • Made a hold a passive observer — new Consumer::observe and observeDatagramConsumer register a priority-less consumer that keeps its position without adding demand, and the stream-track test now asserts the SUBSCRIBE's -5 priority stands.
  • Adopted at pick time — SubscribeServe attaches the registry to its Legacy and adopt runs in live, poll_datagrams and datagrams, so a SUBSCRIBE that arrived and waited before its TRACK answered still reads from the hold; the new a_waiting_subscribe_sends_the_datagrams_written_since_its_track_info fails (left: 0) with adopting removed.
  • Covered a replaced datagram track — new Rust and JS tests replace a finished datagram track while the older TRACK stream stays open and assert the SUBSCRIBE reads the replacement.
  • De-flaked the JS datagram-track test — mocks Budget.poll and drains more microtasks before aborting the session, so the publisher's end is observed before the abort under load.
  • Re-enabled and cleaned up — both FFI lite-06 datagram tests lose their #[ignore], both sh/gh/test-inventory.allow entries go, and the quest file and its README line are deleted; no dangling references remain at head.

I re-ran the delta's guards locally: the three new Rust tests pass (and the waiting-subscribe test fails without adopting), the new JS cases pass, and the full datagram-tracks.test.ts passes. The passive observer cannot cancel the request in either language, because the observer registers before the original consumer closes or drops, and neither lock ordering in HeldDatagrams/Datagram State forms a cycle.

With two TRACKs of one track open, the newest hold skipped datagrams written
between the two answers. Read from the earliest answer instead; a replay only
duplicates.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Incremental review of head 47484f0b37115e9e6410d39d3a0ed856e6ade547 after 3cef3b40e0d7f0ad57a5eec6a2123b4541b9bec4, including the main merge and current PR diff against base f48bc940d8701aeaec3677a70de56293a06f73ec.

No new actionable findings in this delta. The multiple-TRACK loss reported after the previous review is addressed: Rust now selects the first matching hold in insertion order, and JS returns the first same-track entry from its Set. With TRACK1 answered, a datagram written, and TRACK2 answered before SUBSCRIBE, the selected cursor now retains that datagram. Both new regression tests exercise this sequence on lite-05 and lite-06.

The oldest-hold direction is appropriate because SUBSCRIBE cannot identify which concurrent TRACK answer it follows. The replay remains bounded by the shared ring, without changing the passive hold's priority behavior. I also checked that removal preserves the remaining hold order and that track-identity matching still skips a retired source; the earlier pending-SUBSCRIBE and source-replacement fixes remain intact. The documented passive-only subscriber spin is unchanged and remains a separate follow-up.

Limits: GitHub-only static review. I inspected the new tests and affected lifecycle/buffer code but ran no local commands, tests, stress/mutation runs, quest checks, or interop. Reported successful checks are the author's validation, not mine. Exact-head Check was still in progress at the final recheck.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed the delta since the last pullfrog review (3cef3b40e): the oldest-hold fix that resolves that review's finding, its Rust and JS regression tests, and the origin/main merge.

  • Oldest matching hold — HeldDatagrams::find now returns the first (oldest-first) entry of HeldState::holds, and JS #adopt the first insertion-order match in #heldDatagrams, so a SUBSCRIBE no longer starts past a datagram written between two TRACK_INFO answers for the same track.
  • Two-TRACK regression tests — a_subscribe_reads_from_the_oldest_hold (Rust, lite-05/06) and ${label}: a SUBSCRIBE reads from the oldest hold (JS) answer two TRACKs with a datagram written in between and assert exactly one datagram is sent.
  • origin/main merge — conflict-free; its only new lines are main's own ignore moq-ffi::test::concurrent_ready_calls_all_wake inventory entry and the pool-debt flight quest line. The datagram inventory entries and quest file stay removed, with no dangling references.

I checked the new tests independently: reverting find to .iter().rev() fails a_subscribe_reads_from_the_oldest_hold (left: 0, right: 1), and reverting JS #adopt to last-match fails both JS cases (Expected: 1, Received: 0). lite::publisher::tests passes 40/40 on the restored tree, the JS TRACK_INFO|older hold|oldest hold cases pass 9/9, and the stale-cursor replay is bounded in both languages (poll_read clamps to state.offset, JS max(cursor, state.offset)). Selection still matches by datagram channel (is_clone / datagramSameTrack), so a hold on a replaced track is skipped regardless of iteration order.

Cancel the upstream request when the last passive hold closes.

When a lite-05/06 TRACK falls back to a datagram track from an upstream datagram-track request, the passive hold prevents closeUnusedDatagrams from canceling it. If the hold later closes, priority stays undefined, so the upstream receive loop does not wake. The upstream request can remain open after the TRACK closes.

Wake the unused check when the consumer count changes, while preserving the hold until the TRACK closes.

Handle passive-only holds in datagram cleanup.

If the last active datagram consumer leaves while a TRACK hold remains, close_unused() returns false. The relay can then spin without yielding and keep the upstream request open without demand.

Preserve the held datagrams for a later SUBSCRIBE while handling this passive-only state.
