Problem

moq-ffi::test::concurrent_ready_calls_all_wake stalled with "the read stalled" in a loaded local just ci on moq-dev/moq#7981, and moq-dev/moq#8024 quarantined it.

The cause was in the test, not a lost wake. The test fills the group's 16 MiB writer window with 25 MiB frames, parks two ready calls, then drains the reader. Unloaded, the calls finish after read 10 of 24. The old drain loop read until the group ended, and an unfinished group never ends. Between reads it awaited ffi_caught_up, which returns without yielding whenever the FFI runtime answers before the test thread polls the oneshot. Under load the OS preempts the test thread after the spawn, so that happened several iterations in a row. The woken calls, queued on the test's current-thread runtime, never got a turn. The reader drained all 24 frames, and read 25 parked forever. Once that read parked, the calls ran and finished, so every stall reported both calls finished.

Instrumented reproduction, 96 parallel lanes on 24 cores under quest gate, with the old loop:

• 1440 runs: 24 failed, all the read stalled after 24 reads, finished [true, true]. Calls finished after reads 10 to 24.
• Poll counts per read show the woken calls not polled at all between read 9 and reads 13 or 14 in the slow runs.
• The same old loop with a yield_now after each read: 960 of 960 runs finished at read 9.

Approach

moq-dev/moq#8006 already bounded the drain at the 24 written frames and added a yield_now, landing seconds after the quarantine. This PR:

• Drops the loop's ffi_caught_up. The calls poll in place on the test runtime and are woken from the test thread, so the FFI runtime has nothing to catch up on here. The yield_now is what runs the woken calls before the next check.
• Rewrites the loop's comment to say why it reads no more than was written.
• Removes #[ignore] and the sh/gh/test-inventory.allow entry, and deletes the quest. The epic README records the cause.

Validation: with the final test, 1440 of 1440 runs pass on the same 96-lane loaded harness. cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p moq-ffi --all-features --all-targets -D warnings, sh/gh/test-inventory.py, cargo nextest run -p moq-ffi --all-features --lib (316 passed) and quest check all pass.

Impact

Public API: none. Wire: none.

Alternatives

• Read exactly enough frames to open the window, then await the calls. The count depends on per-frame slot overhead, so it would be brittle.
• Drain all 24 frames, then await the calls. That works, but the calls would then finish because the reader caught up, not because the window has room, which tests a different path.

Follow-ups

None.

Walkthrough

The concurrent-ready test is no longer ignored. Its reader loop yields after each read instead of waiting for ffi_caught_up(). The test inventory and quest tracking document no longer list the test as quarantined. The Plan records the reported failure behavior and fix.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 36e2b

This change re-enables a previously quarantined test and updates its tracking notes. The only open concern is that the README history may misattribute which change added the read bound and yield. It does not affect production behavior and can be addressed with a small doc edit.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the change: the concurrent-ready test now lets woken calls run between reads, which matches the diff (ffi_caught_up removed, yield_now kept in the reader loop, ignore and quarantine entries removed). It is short, single-sentence, and specific. The conventional 'fix(ffi):' prefix is present and the scope is accurate.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the problem, the root cause in the test's drain loop, the approach (removing ffi_caught_up, keeping yield_now, rewriting the comment, removing #[ignore], the test-inventory entry and the quest), validation results, and alternatives. It directly describes the changed files and is not off-topic.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head: 4d5fdb1.

No actionable findings in this change.

Direction: re-enabling the test with its existing 24-frame drain bound and explicit yield is consistent with the actual scheduling path. spawn_parked polls each ready call before returning, and MoqGroupProducer::ready uses ffi::run to poll in place rather than dispatching the call to the FFI worker. Removing the drain loop's unrelated ffi_caught_up rendezvous therefore preserves the wake test. The loop cannot read past its 24 outstanding frames, and both parked calls still have to complete successfully. The quarantine entry and quest removal match the test being re-enabled.

Validation limits: GitHub-only source review of the diff, test helpers, ready-call implementation, and relevant history. I did not rerun the reported loaded harness or test suite, so the 1,440-run result remains author-reported. This is a comment, not an approval or a merge-readiness determination.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes — re-enables concurrent_ready_calls_all_wake by removing the drain loop's redundant ffi_caught_up, and retires the quest that quarantined it.

• Drain loop: ffi_caught_up() is gone; the 24-read bound and yield_now stay. This is right: spawn_parked uses tokio::spawn on the test's current-thread runtime, and MoqGroupProducer::ready polls in place through ffi::run/ffi::host under the caller's waker, so the parked calls are driven by the test runtime, not the FFI runtime that ffi_caught_up only pushes to. yield_now is the primitive that gives them their turn, and the wake is dispatched inside the read, so no catch-up is needed.
• Read bound: one frame is written and read up front, then 24 more; the loop reads at most 24, so it can never park past the last frame of a group that never ends. Ok(None) remains unreachable, so the existing expect("the group ended early") is still correct.
• Re-enable: the #[ignore] attribute and the matching sh/gh/test-inventory.allow line are both removed; the remaining entries in that file belong to other quests.
• Quest tree: quest/m0/test-flakes-2/ffi-concurrent-ready.md is deleted and its ## Required bullet dropped; the epic README gains a prose record of the cause and fix, matching how its other fixed children are recorded.

The 10s TIMEOUT still guards every read and every final await, and a genuinely lost wake would still fail the test, so the de-flake keeps its coverage of the one-waker/two-caller bridge behavior.

Correct the concurrent-ready fix history.

Before this PR, the drain loop already had the 24-read bound and per-read yield. This PR removes ffi_caught_up from that loop. Attribute the bound and yield to the earlier change so maintainers can identify what this PR changed when investigating a recurrence.
