Finishes quest/m0/test-flakes-2/gst-stale-completion.md.

Summary

a_stale_completion_cannot_end_the_next_publication failed at its first assertion (stale.fail() returning false). The cause is in the sink, not the test. The old session's status task was failing its own completion during shutdown, which the quest listed as its third candidate.

  • Session::stop aborts the status task, then aborts the reconnect loop. A tokio abort cannot cancel a poll that is already running.
  • The test enters PAUSED and leaves it right away, so stop lands right after mark_registered wakes the task for its first poll. If that poll is still running when the loop ends, the task's biased reconnect.status() arm reads the end of the loop. Before this fix it treated that as a terminal error: it failed the completion, set the status to Failed, and fired the property notifications. So a clean stop could look like a session failure.
  • Fix: when reconnect.status() ends, forward_registered asks Connection::closed() how the loop ended. Ok(()) means a local stop and the task returns quietly. Err means a real terminal error (auth rejection, non-retryable status, bounded give-up), which still fails the publication. Asking closed() avoids matching on the error variant, which AGENTS.md forbids.
  • The fix keeps the abort-first ordering in stop but drops its comment, which claimed the ordering was enough.

Verification

  • New sink::session::tests::a_local_stop_is_not_a_session_failure forces the losing order. It aborts the connection, waits for the loop to end, and only then runs the status task. With the new match arm disabled it fails (completion Failed); with it, it passes.
  • a_stale_completion_cannot_end_the_next_publication is un-ignored.
  • cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p moq-gst --all-targets -D warnings, and cargo test -p moq-gst pass.
  • The original flake never reproduced locally. 1,920 isolated runs and 360 full-suite runs at 24-32 way parallelism showed no failure before the fix (one unrelated failure, below). After the fix, 4,800 runs of both tests at 32-way parallelism were also clean. The deterministic test is the evidence here, not the stress run.

Choices made without asking

  • Fixed it in the status task (by error kind) rather than making stop block on the task's JoinHandle. A join would deadlock when an app's notify handler, running inside that same task, stops the element.

Related PRs

  • moq-dev/moq#8211 reshapes sink state in sink/imp.rs but does not touch session.rs or the stop path. The only overlap is the removed #[ignore] line, a trivial conflict.

Suggested follow-ups

  • Plan: source::imp::session_tests::a_reannounced_sibling_instance_does_not_replay_its_finish failed once (assertion left == right, 2 vs 1, a replayed Segment/Buffer for video_19) in 360 parallel full-suite runs of moq-gst on main. It is a separate source-side flake worth its own quest under test-flakes-2.

Session::stop aborts the status task before the reconnect loop, but an
abort cannot cancel a poll already in flight. When the task's first poll
after registration overlaps the stop, it sees the loop's end and fails
its own completion. The task now returns quietly on moq_tokio's
Error::Stopped, which only a local stop produces.

Unquarantines a_stale_completion_cannot_end_the_next_publication.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed 71c560b. No actionable findings.

The status task now uses Connection::closed() to distinguish a local stop from terminal failure, preserving the existing failure path without matching error variants. The regression test explicitly runs the status handler after connection shutdown, covering the losing order without a timing-based assertion; the stale-completion test is re-enabled.

Verification: static GitHub inspection of the changes and relevant session/connection lifecycle code only. Builds, tests, and reported stress runs were not independently executed.

Walkthrough

When the reconnect status poll errors, the sink now waits for reconnect closure. It returns on clean closure and retains the existing failure handling for terminal errors. A new test checks the clean-closure case. The stale-completion test is enabled, and its quest document and Required-list entry are removed.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 71c56

The closure fix has no established production defect, but the stale inventory entry will fail the merge checks. Remove it before merging and update the outdated quarantine description.

Explanation

The title names the main change: a local stop in moq-gst no longer fails the sink's publication. The raw summary confirms the session.rs change routes a clean reconnect-loop end to a quiet return, and the objectives describe the same fix. The title uses the fix(moq-gst) prefix and stays within one sentence.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is specific and on-topic. It names the failing test (a_stale_completion_cannot_end_the_next_publication), explains the root cause in Session::stop and the status task, and describes the fix that uses Connection::closed() in forward_registered. It also lists the new test a_local_stop_is_not_a_session_failure, the un-ignored test, and the verification commands. These match the changeset summary: the ignore removal in sink/imp.rs, the session.rs fix and new test, and the removed quest document and README entry.

Add coverage for terminal reconnect failures.

The local-stop test would still pass if forward_registered returned on every status error. Add a terminal-error test that checks failed completion and status. To check the bus error, use a live sink with the matching current session and a bus.

ℹ️ One stale doc comment; the fix itself is sound.

Reviewed changes

  • Local stop vs. give-up — forward_registered's Err(_) arm now awaits reconnect.closed(): Ok(()) returns quietly, Err still fails the publication. This correctly separates a Session::stop abort (which cannot cancel an in-flight poll) from a real terminal error without matching on the variant.
  • Session::stop — keeps abort-first ordering, drops the comment that claimed the ordering alone was sufficient.
  • New test — a_local_stop_is_not_a_session_failure forces the losing order (abort, wait for closed(), then run the status task) and asserts the completion stays open and status is not Failed.
  • Un-ignore — a_stale_completion_cannot_end_the_next_publication is re-enabled.
  • Quest cleanup — deletes the completed quest file and its README entry.

I verified the load-bearing contract: Connection::poll_closed returns Ok(()) when state.error is None (abort/close/drop) and Err only when the loop recorded a give-up via Shared::end(Some(err)); poll_status's terminal() maps the same None to Error::Stopped. Since both wait on the same channel close, closed() is ready whenever status() returns Err, so the new await cannot hang.

ℹ️ forward's doc comment no longer describes the Err arm

The doc block above forward still says the loop stops only on a terminal error, "which the Err arm posts as a bus error." After this change a local stop also ends the loop, and the Err arm returns quietly in that case. The behavior is right; the comment is now misleading for the next reader.

Technical details
# Stale doc comment on `forward`

## Affected sites
- `rs/moq-gst/src/sink/session.rs:409-420` — the `forward` doc block's final
  sentence claims the loop stops only on a terminal error and that the `Err` arm
  posts a bus error.

## Required outcome
- The doc should state that the loop ends either on a terminal error (posted as a
  bus error) or on a local stop/close (ignored), matching the new `Err(_)` arm.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Reword the last sentence to cover both endings, e.g. "The loop stops on a
  terminal error ... which the `Err` arm posts as a bus error, or on a local stop,
  which it ignores."

ℹ️ No critical issues — one sentence in the quest record reads backwards.

Reviewed changes

  • Rewrote the quest's stale-completion paragraph to record the fix in #8246 instead of the #[ignore] quarantine, and dropped the quest from the README's ## Required list.
  • Removed the sh/gh/test-inventory.allow entry for a_stale_completion_cannot_end_the_next_publication. That removal is required, not optional: allowlist() rejects an entry whose quest path no longer exists, and the re-enabled plain #[test] is discovered by nextest rather than orphaned.

✅ No new issues found.

The only authored change since the last review is the quest record's corrected wording, which now matches the sink's behavior; the rest of the delta is a merge of origin/main.

Reviewed changes

  • Quest record rewording — the stale-completion entry now says the sink reported a stopped session as a terminal failure and keeps the Connection::closed distinction, replacing the earlier inverted sentence.
  • Merged origin/main — the range-diff also shows the #8236 embed-socket quest and its allowlist entry disappearing, plus the js/net cache work; those come from main, not this branch.
