An audit of implicit state machines across Rust, JS, and the bindings found about 140 lifecycles encoded as several flags, Options, atomics, or locks whose combinations mean phases. Eleven of them can reach a combination no phase allows, and some of those are user-visible: moq-boy stays frozen for a new viewer, a connection reports Disconnected before its terminal error, MediaCodec and V4L2 decoders get stuck after a failed drain, watch stall stats are wrong, the screen-share toggle stays on after the picker is dismissed, and a graceful qmux close errors every incoming stream.
One-shot handles stored as Options and taken before validation.
Per-phase data kept outside an enum that already exists.
Each child redesigns one area into explicit enums and unions, and every bug is folded into the redesign of its shape. A first child adds a REVIEW.md check and an AGENTS.md line against new instances. Each child reproduces its bugs before fixing them.
Planning scope: ✅ also plan the findings first proposed to drop (TS import finish ordering, json and audio finish retries, the recoverGroup handle swap, rebind after close). Not chosen: plan only the confirmed bugs, or only the user-visible ones.
Placement (superseded by the fold below): ✅ user-visible fixes in m1, internal ones in m3. Not chosen: all in m1, or all in m3.
rebind: ✅ crate-private. Not chosen: refuse to rebind after close.
Fix approach: ✅ fix the root cause; API changes and redesigns are allowed. Not chosen: guarding the one path each bug takes.
Structure: ✅ fold each bug into the redesign of its shape. Not chosen: separate bug quests beside a redesign epic, or widening each bug quest to its own module only.
Rule: ✅ add it to both REVIEW.md and AGENTS.md. Not chosen: REVIEW.md only, or no rule change.
Milestone: ✅ m1, where a child that breaks a published surface moves to m2. Not chosen: m3 after the cut, or small fixes in m1 with the redesigns in m3.
Impact
Quest files only. No API or wire change.
Alternatives
Small, placed bug-fix quests next to a separate redesign epic. Not chosen, because folding fixes each bug at its root.
Follow-ups
None. The children are the follow-ups.
Review
mechanical fix by quest land watch: merged main at 7dd3c07112ba60bee848b1f0cfdca247f59540b4 with the quest merge driver (head 6eee540)
Head 996ee19a44: review skipped as too trivial to need one (Claude Opus 5.5). It changes one quest index line's wording, from pullfrog's thread.
Round 1: Codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort (quest review --base origin/main), head 40e9975, no findings.
Head ab8ccfd: review skipped as too trivial; it merges origin/main and rewords quest docs for the three pullfrog threads (bug count, the m2 rule for breaking children, links to merged PRs and a finished quest).
Local checks: quest check --base origin/main passed (599 documents).
An audit of implicit state machines found 11 reachable bugs and four
recurring shapes. Plan an m1 epic that redesigns each shape into explicit
enums and unions, folding every bug into its redesign, plus a REVIEW.md and
AGENTS.md rule against new instances. The lite TrackRun start-shortcut bug
joins the existing start-bookkeeping quest.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The pull request adds an M1 quest overview and plans for explicit lifecycle state across networking, media, handles, and producer or importer completion. It also adds review and agent guidance against implicit lifecycle state. A related M2 plan documents a skipped-group loss case in start bookkeeping. The changes add planning documents; they do not implement the described runtime changes.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 6eee5
The planning documents contain bounded inconsistencies that could misdirect later implementation, but introduce no runtime changes. They are mergeable with owner awareness and follow-up clarification before the affected implementation work.

No actionable defects found in this planning-only change. The inspected source supports the motivating patterns: moq-boy notifies without the condvar mutex; connection termination writes Disconnected before status polling observes channel closure; failed MediaCodec/V4L2 drains bypass recovery; FFI video follow-up registration happens after releasing the producer lock; and screen-picker rejection leaves the room without the live-to-stopped edge its toggle requires.
Direction: centralizing each lifecycle's transitions and ownership is stronger than adding guards to individual failing paths. The reproduction-first requirement, explicit treatment of unconfirmed cases, Rust/JS coordination, hot-path benchmarks and separate handling of published API breaks are appropriate. Preserve existing semantic distinctions during implementation: clean session closure closes incoming stream-accept queues and datagrams cleanly, while unfinished individual streams must still report truncation. Likewise, the start-state follow-up should settle pending drops through the disposition model left by its Drop set prerequisite, without creating a second owner of served/drop accounting.
Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of all 15 changed planning documents and selected implementation paths, including pause, connection status, codec drain/keyframe, FFI video, audio stall, screen capture, QMux teardown, JSON finish and lite start resolution. This was not an exhaustive reproduction of the reported 11 bugs or audit of all roughly 140 instances. No tests, hardware experiments, quest validation, benchmarks or builds were run. Rechecked the open/non-draft state, full head/base and published reviews immediately before posting. COMMENT only, not approval of future implementations.

Important
One structural question before this lands: the plan keeps the epic in m1 while two children explicitly anticipate breaking changes and move to m2, which quest/README.md forbids ("An epic joins the milestone its outcome needs, children included"). The rest is minor.
Reviewed changes
New m1 epic — quest/m1/explicit-state/README.md records the 2026-11-07 audit's four implicit-state shapes, the maintainer decisions (root-cause redesigns, fold each bug into its redesign, m1 placement, a rule in both REVIEW.md and AGENTS.md, rebind crate-private), and the 12 required children.
Twelve child quests — each names the lifecycle, the bugs to reproduce, the recommended explicit shape, the instances to sweep, and known conflicts. I spot-checked the claims against the source: the moq-boy condvar notify, the trailing Disconnected, the MediaCodec/V4L2 drain holes, the FFI follow race, the screen-picker dismissal, the qmux #closeReason ordering, the TS/JSON finish ordering, the recoverGroup reset, and the PresentState/Join.State/CompletionState pattern references all match the tree.
m1 roadmap entry — adds the epic to quest/m1/README.md.
m2 start-bookkeeping — records the lite TrackRun "start past everything" pending-drops bug and the recommended Start enum, with the reproduction-first note.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)
Reviewed head ab8ccfd against base 564f53a, comparing with 40e9975 and excluding merged-main changes.
No new actionable findings. The planning update explicitly detaches a child into its own m2 quest if its chosen design breaks a published API, rather than leaving an m2 dependency inside the m1 epic. The finish(self) note now follows that rule. The other edits clarify that eleven counts lifecycles, not individual bugs, and remove stale overlap links after merges.
Direction remains explicit lifecycle ownership with reproduce-first fixes; the milestone split should be applied when each breaking design is selected. Verification limits: GitHub-only static comparison of all 15 PR patches and inspection of the four changed planning documents; no code changes, tests, benchmarks or quest validation run.

Review comments at @quest/m1/explicit-state/rule.md:
- Line 26: Clarify the rule’s treatment of `CompletionState` in the example:
state explicitly whether storing the state in a single `AtomicU8` with `get()`
returning an enum satisfies the rule, or whether the example demonstrates only
the terminal transition. Keep the clarification scoped to this representation
and its relationship to the rule.
- Around line 10-11: Update the terminal-transition rule to require that if a
finish fails after completing one track, it records the error and rejects
further input. Preserve the existing terminal behavior for finishes that
succeed.
Review comments at @quest/m1/explicit-state/track-end.md:
- Around line 25-26: Update the track-end guidance to require the same closed
handle to remain stable whether recovery is attached before or after an error is
latched. Do not allow recovery to replace the handle, even when non-final errors
are exposed.
Review comments at @quest/m1/explicit-state/video-drain.md:
- Around line 41-44: The recovery gate can clear before a keyframe decodes
successfully, allowing a later keyframe to release leading pictures prematurely.
Extend the plan for Reader to preserve recover until keyframe decoding succeeds,

Require stale route IDs to remain invalid after reuse.
Clearing route entries on close does not prevent the counter from assigning the same ID to a later route. After wrap, moq_route_broadcast can return that route’s broadcast for the stale ID.

Problem
An audit of implicit state machines across Rust, JS, and the bindings found about 140 lifecycles encoded as several flags,
Options, atomics, or locks whose combinations mean phases. Eleven of them can reach a combination no phase allows, and some of those are user-visible: moq-boy stays frozen for a new viewer, a connection reportsDisconnectedbefore its terminal error, MediaCodec and V4L2 decoders get stuck after a failed drain, watch stall stats are wrong, the screen-share toggle stays on after the picker is dismissed, and a graceful qmux close errors every incoming stream.Approach
A new m1 epic, Lifecycles are explicit state, has 12 children. The audit found four recurring shapes:
Options and taken before validation.Each child redesigns one area into explicit enums and unions, and every bug is folded into the redesign of its shape. A first child adds a REVIEW.md check and an AGENTS.md line against new instances. Each child reproduces its bugs before fixing them.
The lite
TrackRunstart-shortcut bug (pending drops never sent) goes into the existing Delete the old start bookkeeping quest, which already owns that state and waits on moq-dev/moq#7670.Decisions (maintainer, 2026-11-07):
recoverGrouphandle swap,rebindafter close). Not chosen: plan only the confirmed bugs, or only the user-visible ones.rebind: ✅ crate-private. Not chosen: refuse to rebind after close.Impact
Quest files only. No API or wire change.
Alternatives
Small, placed bug-fix quests next to a separate redesign epic. Not chosen, because folding fixes each bug at its root.
Follow-ups
None. The children are the follow-ups.
