Works on quest/m1/explicit-state/net-phases.md and rewrites it to what remains.

Problem

The audit behind the explicit-state epic found moq-net lifecycles encoded as flags and Options beside, or instead of, one phase. One of them is a reachable bug. The IETF publisher's RunSubscription.served cached TrackServe's drained result, while TrackServe.draining held the same state. A REQUEST_UPDATE that reopened a drained subscription cleared only draining, so the fill tail it set up was never polled. The subscription answered REQUEST_OK, then sent PUBLISH_DONE without the tail's objects. js/net's IETF publisher lost the same tail another way. Its serving loop ended for good once the track ran out, so nothing served a group that the update reopened and the cursor had never handed out.

Reproduced in both by an_update_reopening_a_drained_subscription_serves_its_tail (moq-net) and draft-22: an update reopening a drained subscription serves its tail (js/net). In each, the track finishes with its last group still open, and the SUBSCRIBE's fill waits for stream credit, holding the request open. An update then moves the range back onto that group with a fill. Before this PR, moq-net sent PUBLISH_DONE right after REQUEST_OK, and js/net counted 2 streams with no tail. Both now serve the tail's object before PUBLISH_DONE.

Approach

Each lifecycle keeps one phase, stored once:

• IETF TrackServe (ietf/publisher.rs): draining and end become ServePhase::{Serving, Draining(end), Failed(err)}. TrackServe owns its terminal result, so RunSubscription drops served and polls it every turn. A failed read stays failed, and an update leaves Draining for Serving.
• DatagramForward: ready, ended, and publisher become publisher: Option<i8>, and the forward drops once its track ends.
• Session drivers (lite Driver, IETF Running): ending.take().expect(..) becomes an ended result kept and cloned, so the drain needs no expect.
• IETF Dispatch (ietf/session.rs): the start/bidi pair, one always None, becomes DispatchState::{Setup, Accepting(Bidi)}. The separate auth handle is read from the Bidi.
• Lite PeerSetup (lite/setup.rs): seen, setup, and route_key become Peer::{Waiting, Claimed, Received { setup, route_key }}. A second SETUP through set is refused, as claim already refused one.
• Listing Queue (model/listing.rs): bound plus synced become SyncPhase::{Waiting, Counting(n), Sent}. detached and the listing's generation are gone: release removes a reader only if its slot still holds that queue (same_channel).
• js/net IETF publisher (ietf/publisher.ts): serving ends with the track only once no update or fill is in flight, and polls the cursor again after each one. filling now holds only the fill in flight, and updating covers an update from its decode until it is answered. The reopened group comes from the cursor, not a cache tail as in moq-net. The JS cursor keeps groups below its floor, while the Rust model's finished reader offers nothing more.
• js/net connections: lite's #closing and IETF's #closing plus #closed become one #phase (open, closing with its drain, closed). Lite's abort() now runs once.

Every item that nothing reproduced (all but the reopened tail) is a redesign only, per the epic.

• js/net: an update's decode runs inside the updating window, so a drained subscription can't send PUBLISH_DONE while a reopening update is still decoding.
• moq-net listing: a removal re-added while SYNCED is counting adds one to the count, and collapsing back gives it back, so SYNCED stays behind changes queued before the sync.

Impact

• No public API or wire change. Everything changed is crate-private or @internal.
• Behavior: in moq-net and js/net, an IETF draft-22 subscription that drained and was reopened by an update serves that update's tail before PUBLISH_DONE.
• js/net: close() after abort() resolves at once instead of starting a drain on a closed session. A probe showed both resolve promptly, so nothing observable changes.

Caused by

• moq-dev/moq#6815 - update_range reopened a drained TrackServe while RunSubscription kept its cached drained result (cached since moq-dev/moq#4658). The same PR gave js/net updates that move the range, while its serving loop still ended at the track's end.

Alternatives

• Derive "drained" on every poll and latch only a failure, with no Draining variant. The track reader keeps returning Ok(None) once exhausted, but the track's end would then need a non-polling accessor that moq-net doesn't expose outside the model (declared_end is pub(super)). The explicit phase keeps today's short-circuit.
• Move opening and tail into ServePhase::Serving. serve_group borrows all of TrackServe, so this needs an unreachable! re-match after each call, the same stand-in this quest removes. Draining is entered only once both are empty, and update_range sets a tail and leaves Draining in one call.

Choices made without asking

• Scope. The brief said to avoid the IETF publisher but also to reproduce its reopened TrackServe. The ietf/publisher.rs hunks in moq-dev/moq#8220 and moq-dev/moq#8063 are at disjoint lines (Watched::lapsed, save_join, refusal, ForwardNamespaces, route events), so the fix lands here. Everything else those PRs, or moq-dev/moq#8222, rewrite stays in the quest:
  • Rust: the IETF subscriber's SubscribeOnce, the lite subscriber, auth::Slot, Following, TrackIo, and fills.rs.
  • JS: auth, Reload, SubscribeEntry, Lister, RequestStream, signals Effect, origin.ts, and Join.
• Driver ending. Read as lite Driver.ending and its IETF twin Running.ending. driver::State's result/supervisor pair joins two independent tasks, and all four combinations are valid.

Benchmarks

session bench, moq-transport-22, thread CPU (SESSION_CPU=1), base 8a4216ec63 and head alternated within one run:

• session_range_updates/groups_16: 85.8/86.8 µs base vs 86.4/86.8 µs head (1 request); 642/657 µs vs 648/654 µs (16).
• session_delivery_datagram_cpu, 16 publishers × 64 viewers: 350.6/349.4 µs vs 347.8/347.5 µs.
• session_delivery_group_cost_cpu, 16 publishers × 64 viewers, SUBSCRIBE with the large window, pinned to one CPU over three rounds: 2.03/1.94/1.98 ms base vs 1.89/1.97/2.02 ms head. Other cells moved both ways with host load (6 to 16).

Within noise, as expected: on the hot path an enum match replaces a bool check. The js/net change adds one check per drain, off the per-group path, so it was not benchmarked.

Checks

• just ci 8a4216ec63: passed (12803 Rust tests, JS check and test, lint, markdown).
• bun test in js/net: 3148 passed.
• cargo nextest run -p moq-net --features async: 3715 passed.
• quest check --base 8a4216ec63: ok.
• Not run: just test interop (no wire change).

Follow-ups

• Drop: widening a finished track's reader to cover a cached group does not re-offer it (the model returns Ok(None) after the end). It matters only for an IETF subscription a fill holds open after its track finished, and it lives in model/track.rs, which moq-dev/moq#8243 rewrites.

Reviewed changes

• IETF TrackServe phase (rs/moq-net/src/ietf/publisher.rs): draining/end become ServePhase::{Serving, Draining(Option<Position>), Failed(Error)}, RunSubscription.served is gone so the serve is polled every turn, and update_range moves Draining back to Serving.
• Datagram forward: ready/ended/publisher collapse to publisher: Option<i8> and the forward drops once its track ends or fails.
• Session drivers: lite Driver.ending and IETF Running.ending become a retained, cloned ended result, with the lite transport close extracted into Driver::end.
• IETF Dispatch: the start/bidi pair and the separate auth handle become DispatchState::{Setup, Accepting(Bidi)}, with setup resolved inside the poll loop and the handle read from Bidi.serve.
• Lite PeerSetup: seen/setup/route_key become Peer::{Waiting, Claimed, Received { setup, route_key }}, and set now refuses the second SETUP that claim already refused.
• Listing Queue: bound/synced/detached become SyncPhase::{Waiting, Counting(n), Sent}, and release identifies its own slot with same_channel instead of a generation counter.
• js/net IETF publisher: filling now holds only the fill in flight, a new updating covers the applied update, and the serving loop waits on either instead of ending as soon as the cursor runs dry — with a regression test for the reopened tail.
• js/net connections: lite and IETF #closing/#closed become one #phase, making lite's abort() idempotent and a close() after it resolve at once.
• Quest: net-phases.md is rewritten to the items still overlapping #8220, #8063, and #8222.

I verified the Rust side holds up on the points that worried me: TrackTask::poll_finished reads a latched TrackState.end, so recomputing Draining(end) after a reopen still reports the end; Draining is only entered with tail and opening clear, so children.poll is the right completion signal; and poll_update runs before serve.poll in the same turn, so a read update is always applied before serving is judged. The listing release guard also survives slab key reuse.

The one gap left is in the JS half, where the update decode sits outside the new updating window.

Reviewed b660505 incrementally from 26f19c9. No new actionable findings.

The JS publisher now marks an update in flight before awaiting its decode, so the drained serving loop waits through that phase as well as application and reply. The finally block still releases the wait on failure. The Rust listing queue now accounts for the extra event when a pending removal becomes a re-add, and reverses that increment when churn coalesces it back to a removal; the regression test checks queued changes precede SYNCED through repeated churn.

Verification limits: static GitHub review only; no builds, tests, concurrency reproduction, or interop runs performed.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

• IETF publisher update window (js/net/src/ietf/publisher.ts): updating is now assigned immediately after the update frame is read and before #decodeUpdate, and the finally that clears it also resolves the wait, so a drained serving loop can no longer end while an update is still decoding. This closes the decode-window race raised in the prior review, and the comment now matches the code.
• Listing SYNCED accounting (rs/moq-net/src/model/listing.rs): a pending Remove turning into a Readd now adds one to SyncPhase::Counting, and remove gives that event back with saturating_sub(1) when churn collapses a Readd to a Remove. Since a Readd emits -name, +name, the old count let the second event consume the slot owed to changes queued behind it; the direction of each adjustment matches the event delta.
• Regression test (a_readd_after_sync_keeps_synced_behind_queued_changes): covers a removal queued before sync, a readd after, and a sibling +b behind it, asserting -a, +a, +b, then synced. Without the increment it yields synced before +b, so it pins the fix rather than the old behavior.

bun test js/net/src/ietf/publisher.test.ts passes (130 tests). The focused Rust listing tests could not run here because a shared target/ build lock was held; the Check run on b6605052 was still in progress.
