Works on quest/m1/drop-set.md: the drop set's track half. The quest file is rewritten to what remains: the billed per-cursor disposition record (with the floor fold and TooFarBehind), the four "still to cover" items, and the relay tests. Decisions that moq-dev/moq#7670 already landed leave the quest; that PR's ## Decisions section keeps them. The m1 and m2 README links now describe what remains.

Problem

A hostile upstream fragmenting its drops into disjoint runs grew each track's drop set without bound: nothing billed it to the cache pool, so a drop-only flood with no cached groups was never evicted. Every drop also cost each reader O(runs): DropCursor::next rescanned the overlapping runs, Misses::judge walked every run above the newest group on every probe, and JS copied the whole run array once for the track and once per sink.

Approach

• Billed: TrackState::drops (Rust) and a new shared DropSet (js/net/src/drops.ts) bill each run (RUN_OVERHEAD) and each entry of an expiry index (BORN_OVERHEAD) to the track's pool account. Rust derives the costs from size_of. JS uses the measured Bun 1.4 heap cost: about 334 bytes per run and 53 per expiry entry.
• Bounded: paying eviction debt sheds the lowest runs, after the cold groups and before the fronts of groups being read. Recording a drop now settles debt, so a drop-only flood pays for itself. The expiry scan forgets a run given up longer than the pool's idle window ago, rounded up to a quarter of the window, so the default pool (expiry, no byte target) bounds the set too. A shed or forgotten run is unknown again, so a reader judges it by its budget or fills it.
• Forgetting keeps promises: a reclaimed run is accounted in the arrivals ledger, as an evicted group stays (TrackState::forget_drops, JS #forgot), so neither the tail nor a reader waits on it again and an end already reached stays reached through a refinement or an abort. A run touching no accounted one takes the gap below it, so a fragment flood never grows the ledger. Rust readers fold a bounded forget log (miss::Forgotten: the runs forgotten, by revision, the oldest two coalesced past four entries) so Misses::judge judges again what it judged inside a forgotten run: it asks a fill, or gives it up by its budget.
• Local tracks: a local track keeps its runs from its newest group up (kept_drops / #keptDrops), because reaches relies on them for its declared end. Only a received copy's peer can fragment drops, and all of those are reclaimable. A kept run becomes reclaimable once the edge passes it (rearm_drops / #rearmDrops date it then), and in JS once the track closes, since the JS pool holds a track's account strongly while it holds a run it can forget. Rust frees a closed track's drops with the state's last handle.
• Incremental: DropCursor, the JS wire cursor, and Misses::unknown fold in only the runs changed since they last looked (drops_changes, DropSet::since). Each checks a folded run against the set before reporting it, which catches pure removals. A full rescan happens only when the window, budget, coverage, or judged terms move.
• JS sinks share the track's DropSet instead of copying it. A reader's own fill refusals, which used to go into its copy, are kept apart in refused, and a group that arrives clears its sequence from every reader's refused, as clearing each copy did.

track_subscriber_churn_drops (new, --features fuzz): one drop into a fragmented set, every reader reporting it (time per drop, --quick, span 1; span 2^32 is within 15%). The fixture rebuilds the track, or resubscribes the readers, untimed before the runs or each reader's reported runs grow by more than a sixteenth, so each case measures its stated counts.

readers	16 runs	65,536 runs, 1 reported each	65,536 runs, all reported
1	1.0 µs	2.4 µs	1.7 µs
16	8.3 µs	11 µs	12.6 µs
256	126 µs	178 µs	0.7 to 0.8 ms

Before the Misses::unknown memo (the cursor fold was already incremental), 16 readers took 0.5 ms at 16 runs and 62 ms at 65,536. The remaining slope in the last column comes from the per-cursor reported records, which are still unbilled. They are the quest's remaining work.

Impact

• Public API: none. Rust adds a hidden moq_net::fuzz::DropSet for the bench. JS cache.RUN_OVERHEAD/BORN_OVERHEAD and drops.ts are package-internal.
• Wire: none.
• Behavior: a received copy under pool pressure, or past the pool's idle window, forgets drop runs it held, so a later reader asks a fill for those sequences or judges them by its budget, instead of hearing the drop. The forgotten run counts as accounted for, so the tail and ordered readers stop waiting on it, along with any gap just below it that no accounted run bounds. A cut that expires from the cache is still forwarded as a drop for one more window, then forgotten (a_cut_outlives_the_sweep_until_it_expires updated).

Choices made without asking

• Shed order is lowest sequence first, as a proxy for oldest. Groups pay first, then runs, then the fronts of groups being read.
• Run age is tracked in a separate expiry index (drops_born / #dropsBorn) rather than in the run's value, so runs with the same reason still merge and a steady flood of adjacent drops cannot keep one run alive forever.
• On a local track, a skip below its newest group can now be forgotten, after which create_group at that sequence is accepted rather than refused with Error::Skipped. Only the producer's own sequences are affected.
• JS hooks.poolTrack also refuses a track that already holds drops, since its bill would sit in the old pool.
• The bench is a new group, track_subscriber_churn_drops, beside track_subscriber_churn, rather than more cases in it.

Decisions

• How a reader keeps its promises once a reclaim forgets a drop run. Maintainer, 2026-11-09, via /quest-complete. ✅ fix in this PR: account a reclaimed run in the arrivals ledger as an evicted group is, instead of the End::reached latch, and add a bounded forget log that Rust Misses::judge folds (rejected: keep the latch and patch refinement and settlement plus a forget log; end the reader with TooFarBehind; land as is). Why: accounting removes the refinement and settlement gaps as a class, since every path that recomputes completion reads the ledger.

  • JS gets the ledger accounting but no forget log: #askFills rebuilds its view of the drop set on every probe and keeps no judged record, so once the forgotten run is accounted it is asked like any other miss (a forgotten stale run is asked of a fill fails without the accounting). The quest's JS #askFills memo item now says the memo must fold the log.
  • Choice made without asking: a forgotten run touching no accounted run takes the gap below it, which gives that gap up early, as a fold would. Without it each forgotten fragment became an unbilled arrivals run, so a drop flood under an unbounded grace would move the unbounded growth into the ledger. Nothing below the tail's floor is accounted, so a run below the first arrival never lowers the floor onto gaps nobody waited for.

• Land this slice on its own, with the quest rewritten to what remains. Maintainer, 2026-11-09, via /quest-complete (comment). ✅ land this slice (rejected: keep the PR open until the whole quest is done). Why: it closes the unbounded per-track growth and the O(R x N) CPU per drop, and keeps the next PR's diff reviewable.

Iteration (2026-11-09)

• The drop-set bench holds its counts: DropSet::hold rebuilds the track, or resubscribes the readers, untimed before the runs or a reader's reported runs grow by more than a sixteenth, then one untimed warm drop so the timed drop carries no first-drop cost (66c0b09). Numbers above are from this fixture.
• A fill source's refusals settle pool debt like any drop (drop_unfed calls charge_debt), tested by a_fragmented_fill_refusal_stays_within_the_pool (101be34).
• JS expiry forgets due runs in one pass (Runs.clear), since runs given up in the same quarter window expire together and one splice each was quadratic; the JS wire cursor's incremental fold keeps the reader's pending refusals; hooks.givenUp lets a stale drop hide a reader's refusal only when it settles that reader (101be34, 96a994f).
• A received copy's reached end stays reached once a reclaim forgets the drops that reached it (96a994f latched it; dc0a7e8 replaced the latch with arrivals accounting). Tested by a_reached_end_outlives_its_expired_drops, a_refined_end_stays_reached_after_its_drops_expire, and an_abort_after_a_reached_end_drops_expire_ends_readers_cleanly; the latter two fail on 96a994f.
• A reader that judged a run before it was forgotten asks a fill for it: a_reader_asks_a_fill_for_a_forgotten_run_it_judged fails without the forget log, and the_forget_log_coalesces_into_spans_covering_what_a_reader_missed covers the coalescing. a_drop_flood_stays_within_the_pool now also checks the shed runs leave the arrivals unfragmented.
• Local review (new session, round 1) found two more, both fixed in baf9e09: JS reaches now lets a received end's tail decide it, as Rust's does, so a forgotten skip cannot reopen it (hooks.cacheTrack keeps the tail and #owes owes nothing once the feed ends; #endLargest also waits on #owes), tested by a reached end outlives its forgotten skip; and Rust change_drops bills from the maps' lengths instead of counting a coalesced run's expiry entries on every change, which was quadratic.
• Review threads: 8 CodeRabbit threads fixed or declined with reasons earlier; the last 2 and pullfrog's declare thread are fixed by the arrivals accounting.

Alternatives

• A per-track run cap: rejected by the 2026-11-03 decision, since it is an arbitrary knob.
• Per-run birth ticks inside the drop map's value: breaks merging, and lets a steady adjacent flood keep a merged run alive.
• JS per-sink copies updated in O(log N): still R copies of the set, unbilled.

Follow-ups

• The arrivals ledger is unbilled and folds a gap only after the grace, so under an unbounded grace (no cache duration, no max age, an unbounded max delay) a peer fragmenting its arrivals, or in JS its drops, which JS accounts at drop time, still grows it. This PR keeps reclaims from adding to it. Recommendation: plan it into the drop-set quest's memory work rather than a new quest, since it is the same per-track bound.
• The remaining work lives in the rewritten quest, including the JS #askFills walk over runs above the edge, which should mirror Rust's Misses::unknown memo.
• mesh_withdraw::{random,capped_random}_meshes_retract_once take 22 to 46s alone, against the 30s SLOW mark and the 60s kill, so they time out under full-suite load on main too. Recommendation: plan a quest to make them fast or move them to nightly; no open PR does either.
• quest/m1/copy-recover.md, quest/m1/stream-credit/takeover.md, and quest/m2/subscribe-ranges/start-bookkeeping.md still list Drop set under Required for what moq-dev/moq#7670 delivered (the held re-offer, the lite publisher rewrite), which has landed. Recommendation: let /quest-audit drop those links rather than plan a quest, since it's a tree audit fix.

Walkthrough

The changes add shared, revisioned drop-run storage and cache-pool billing, shedding, and expiry in JavaScript and Rust. Track and reader paths combine shared drop verdicts with reader-specific fill refusals. Reader scans use revisions to process changed runs incrementally. Tests cover accounting, expiry, fill refusals, and drop reporting. Rust benchmarks and documentation are also updated.

Merge Risk: Low · up to baf9e

Drop-run billing, shedding and incremental folding now behave as intended in the cited paths. One narrow gap remains: in a pool with no idle window, charges for collected drop-only tracks may never be released, which can cause earlier eviction of cached content. This is low impact, so the change is mergeable with owner awareness.

Reviewed head 0dbf96a.

• P2 — Preserve publisher SKIP precedence over reader fill refusals (js/net/src/track.ts:896–900, 3930–3937). A reader can have a fill refuse [2,3) with Cancel, then have the producer skip [2,3) before its next drop poll. The new shared drop set retains SKIP while the separate refused set retains Cancel. A full fold concatenates both, and for equal starts inserts the refusal last, replacing SKIP in pending. The cursor consequently reports an ordinary refusal instead of the publisher's final SKIP (or suppresses it if that refusal was already reported). Previously #drop replaced the reader's entry too. Remove superseded refusal intervals or define explicit non-overlapping precedence when combining the sets. Add a regression covering refusal followed by skip before a poll and after a window-triggered full fold.

• P2 — Keep received drops reclaimable after a subscription returns to cache (js/net/src/track.ts:1201–1202). #wire is transient: hooks.cacheTrack clears it at line 1224 while a known/history-capable IETF producer remains open (ietf/subscriber.ts:981–982, 1010). Such a copy can hold drops above #received: dropHeadless records them before creating a group (ietf/subscriber.ts:1908–1912, 1982–1992), and #arrive does not advance #received. Once cached, #keptDrops misclassifies those peer drops as protected local runs, so neither expiry nor debt shedding can reclaim them. Preserve received origin independently of the live subscription marker, and test an above-edge headless drop through cacheTrack followed by an idle sweep.

ℹ️ No critical issues — one behavior gap worth a look. The billing, eviction, expiry, and incremental folds all held up under review and the tests pass.

Reviewed changes

• Billed drop sets — Rust TrackState::drops bills the pool via cache::Extra (RUN_OVERHEAD, BORN_OVERHEAD); JS adds a shared, package-internal DropSet billed through cache.Track#bill/#unbill.
• Bounded — eviction debt sheds the lowest runs behind cold groups, drop recording settles debt, and a separate expiry index forgets runs past the pool's idle window; a shed or forgotten run is unknown again.
• Local protection — a local track keeps runs from its newest group up so reaches still sees a declared-end skip, rearming once the edge passes or the track closes.
• Incremental folds — DropCursor, Misses::unknown, and the JS Subscriber fold only runs changed since their last look, with full rescans on window/budget/judgment changes and a set check before reporting a folded run.
• JS sink refusals — a reader's own fill refusals moved out of its drops copy into TrackState.refused, cleared for the arriving sequence.
• Bench and quest — track_subscriber_churn_drops with moq_net::fuzz::DropSet, plus the quest rewrite to the remaining per-cursor work.

ℹ️ A reader's own fill refusal masks a later track drop or skip

givenUp appends refused after drops and sorts by start, so when a reader's fill refused a range and the track later gives the same range up for good (drop or skip), the fold keeps the refusal and #report sends its error instead of the track's verdict. I reproduced it: refuse [0,2) with Cancel, then record a skip of [0,2) — the reader reports storage busy rather than the skip, so groups the publisher declared never produced end readers with an error. Rust lets the feed's verdict win (rs/moq-net/src/model/track/miss.rs:981-990 removes the overlapping refused and give_ups with the feed's hole), and the pre-PR #drop replaced the refusal in each sink's drops copy, so this looks like a regression from keeping them apart.

Technical details

# A reader's own refusal masks a later track verdict

## Affected sites
- js/net/src/track.ts:896-901 — `givenUp` appends `refused` after `drops` and sorts by start, so an equal-start refusal wins the fold.
- js/net/src/track.ts:1414 — `#drop` records the track drop/skip but leaves every sink's `refused` intact.
- js/net/src/track.ts:1432-1437 — `#undrop` clears `refused` only when a group arrives, not when the track gives the range up.
- rs/moq-net/src/model/track/miss.rs:981-990 — Rust removes the overlapping `refused` and gives up with the feed's hole, so the feed verdict wins.

## Required outcome
- A final track drop or skip supersedes a reader's own refusal of the same sequences, in `#tryDrop`/`#report` as well as `hooks.givenUp` (which already prefers the track's drop).
- A skip especially must not surface as the refusal's error, since a skip must end no reader.

## Suggested approach
- Clip `refused` to the parts `drops` do not cover inside `givenUp`, keeping the per-drop cost at O(runs touched) rather than O(readers); or clear the final drop/skip span from each sink's `refused` in `#drop`, mirroring `#undrop`.
- Add a JS test beside the arrival-clears-refusal case: refuse, then drop/skip the same run, and assert the track's verdict is reported.

Fixed pullfrog's finding (a reader's own fill refusal masked a later track drop or skip) in c8d2067. givenUp now clips a reader's refusals to what the track's drops leave, so the track's verdict wins where both cover a sequence, as Rust's Misses does. Clipping happens in the fold, not per sink in #drop, so a drop still costs O(runs touched). The new fill.test.ts case refuses [0, 2), skips the same run, and expects the reader to report the skip; it fails without the fix.

Reviewed c8d2067 incrementally from 0dbf96a.

The reader-refusal/SKIP P2 is fixed: givenUp now removes shared track-drop intervals from the reader's refusals before folding, and the new regression covers refusal followed by publisher SKIP.

The other previously reported P2 remains open at js/net/src/track.ts:1205–1206: #keptDrops still uses transient #wire, which cacheTrack clears while a known IETF copy can remain open. Above-edge received drops can therefore become protected from expiry and eviction. The requested persistent received-origin distinction and cache-transition coverage are still absent. This is the existing finding, not a new issue.

Important

The new refusal clip resolves the reported precedence bug for final drops and skips, but it also hides a reader's own fill refusal behind a stale verdict that does not settle that reader.

Reviewed changes (delta since the prior Pullfrog review at 0dbf96afc)

• Refusal precedence — givenUp now clips a reader's refused runs to the parts the track's drops do not cover, so a final drop or skip reports instead of the reader's own fill error, matching Rust's feed-verdict precedence.
• Regression test — added a JS case asserting that a skip of a range a reader's fill refused is what the reader reports.

Reviewed 36663c6 incrementally from c8d2067. No new actionable findings in this two-file update.

The SKIP/refusal precedence fix remains in place. The new settles check correctly limits that precedence to a verdict applicable to this reader, preserving its own refusal when its budget or coverage rejects a stale track verdict. The added regression covers that case.

The existing cached-IETF drop-eviction P2 remains open, now at js/net/src/track.ts:1213–1214: #keptDrops still relies on transient #wire instead of persistent received origin. Clearing #wire on an open cached received track can still protect above-edge drops from reclamation. This update does not change that path; retain the requested origin distinction and cache-transition regression.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static source/diff review. No tests or runtime reproduction executed.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

• Settles-gated refusal precedence — givenUp now hides a reader's own fill refusal only behind an overlapping track drop or skip that settles that reader, judged from where it meets the asked span; a stale verdict the reader's budget or coverage rejects no longer swallows its own refusal, at all four call sites (#askFills, #drained, the #tryDrop full fold, and the pending shift loop).
• Regression test — added fill: a stale run that does not settle the reader leaves its own refusal reported, alongside the existing skip-wins and still-asked cases.

The settles gate matches Rust's Misses::unclaimed (rs/moq-net/src/model/track/miss.rs:1295): both clip the run start to max(run.start, hole.start), and JS's settles mirrors Drift::settles, including coverage === undefined and the default all-groups judged. The previous Pullfrog finding is resolved and its thread closed.

Add an incremental refusal-precedence test.

After a reader reports one refused fragment, an unsettling stale verdict can remove another pending fragment. This test installs the verdict before the reader exists, so it misses that case. Add a test that reports one fragment, installs the verdict, and checks that the remaining refusal is reported.

- Around line 1213-1214: Update #keptDrops so an ended feed no longer makes
drops unboundedly protected; base the unbounded result on the active wire and
continue using #received as the reclaimable boundary after the feed ends.
Preserve received provenance independently of wire activity.

`#dropsBilled` so charges are released when drop-only producers are collected

Preserve charges for retained drop state and keep the existing bill/unbill

Review comments at @rs/moq-net/benches/track.rs:
- Around line 933-934: Update the `DropSet` benchmark around `b.iter` so each
measured iteration starts with a fresh fixture, created or restored outside the
timed operation. Ensure each iteration measures `drop_one` against the labeled
`readers`, `runs`, `reported`, and `span` sizes without accumulating runs or
retained memory across iterations.

Review comments at @rs/moq-net/src/model/track.rs:
- Around line 1467-1470: Update the drop-expiration logic around drops_oldest
and the recv_group completion path to preserve the received track’s
end-of-stream decision independently of the evictable drop map. Expiring drops
must not make a completed tail incomplete or cause recv_group to wait again
after returning end-of-stream, including with an unbounded budget.
- Around line 1467-1470: Preserve authoritative skip state when reclaiming
reader-facing drop runs in the drops_oldest logic. Ensure create_group and fill
still reject skipped sequences after local skips expire or are shed, and apply
the same correction to the corresponding JavaScript path.
- Around line 1437-1438: Update the fill-generated drop handling around
drops_bill so drops billed by drop_unfed also settle outstanding debt, including
unanswered fills processed when the handler closes. Preserve the existing
accounting for the number of dropped items and ensure settlement occurs even
when no later writes arrive.
- Around line 1428-1430: Update the `None` branch that removes `groups` from
`self.drops` and `self.drops_born` to also invalidate the ordered reader’s
judged coverage for those groups, so a later widened budget rejudges the
forgotten run and requests a fill for the hole.
- Around line 1418-1424: Update the expiry calculation before
`drops_born.insert` so newly observed drop runs receive a full idle window
starting when cleanup observes them, even if collection was delayed. Use the
cleanup-observation time as the basis for the expiry while preserving the
existing saturation behavior.

Nitpick comments:
Review comments at @js/net/src/fill.test.ts:
- Around line 819-829: Add an incremental refusal-precedence test alongside the
existing fill refusal test: first report a refusal for one fragment, then
install the stale-hole verdict while another fragment remains pending, and
verify the reader reports that remaining refusal rather than dropping it. Keep
the current preinstalled-verdict test intact.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head 66c0b09 incrementally, separating merged main changes. No new actionable findings in the drop-set benchmark update. The harness now rebuilds/resubscribes outside the timed region to bound run and per-reader record growth, and warms the newly subscribed readers before measuring a drop.

The existing cached-IETF drop-eviction P2 remains open: js/net/src/track.ts:1192–1193 still bases #keptDrops on transient #wire. Clearing that hook on an open cached received track can continue to protect above-edge drops from reclamation. The persistent-origin distinction and cache-transition regression requested in the earlier review are still applicable. SKIP/refusal precedence remains fixed.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static source/diff review; no tests, benchmark runs or runtime reproduction executed.

• Bench fixture restore — track_subscriber_churn_drops now runs b.iter_custom and calls a new untimed moq_net::fuzz::DropSet::hold() before each measured drop_one(), so warm-up and sampling no longer accumulate runs on the track or records in every reader.
• Bounded fixture cardinality — DropSet records its shape and rebuilds the track once its added runs pass a sixteenth of runs, otherwise resubscribes every reader once its reported runs pass a sixteenth of reported; each resubscribe ends with one untimed warm drop so the timed drop carries no first-drop cost.
• Base merge — merged origin/main at 87e9e1c into the branch; the range-diff shows no conflict resolution in the PR's own files.

The restore counters are consistent with the labeled axes: added counts every run the track gains, including the warm drop a resubscribe adds (it does add one), while fresh resets on subscribe, and reported == runs always takes the rebuild branch because the two thresholds coincide. Each measured drop therefore runs against a set and reader records within 1/16 of the benchmark's stated sizes.

Reviewed head 101be34 incrementally from 66c0b09. No new actionable findings in the fill-debt settlement, bulk expiry and reader-refusal folding updates. Checked bulk removal's retained fragments/change accounting, charge_debt after fragmented fill refusals, and the incremental fold's preservation of reader-specific refusals.

The previously reported cached-IETF drop-eviction P2 remains open at js/net/src/track.ts:1202–1203: #keptDrops still uses transient #wire, which cacheTrack clears on an open received copy. Above-edge received drops can therefore remain protected from expiry/debt shedding. Preserve received origin independently of that hook and add the cache-transition regression described in the original review. SKIP/refusal precedence remains fixed; this is the existing issue, not a new finding.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static source/diff review. No tests, benchmarks or runtime reproduction executed. The newly documented forgotten-run/tail-completion follow-ups are not implemented by this update.

• Fill refusals pay for their runs — Rust TrackState::drop_unfed now calls charge_debt once after recording the refused groups, so a source refusing a fill in fragments accrues and settles debt like any drop, matching the JS fill drop callback. Covered by the new a_fragmented_fill_refusal_stays_within_the_pool, which floods 1,000 disjoint refusals through a 64-run pool and asserts runs were shed and the pool stayed within capacity.
• One-pass expiry forget — new Runs.clear/DropSet.clear forget sorted, disjoint ranges in a single walk instead of one #setDrops splice each, and reuse the existing #apply bookkeeping (live set, change log, revision). #expireDrops now clears the drop set and its expiry index in one call and bills once; #billDrops is factored out of #setDrops with unchanged accounting.
• Incremental fold keeps pending refusals — the non-full #tryDrop fold now runs givenUp(drops, refused.peek(), …) rather than drops.overlapping, so the reader's own pending refusals over a changed span are re-folded instead of being removed and lost. The new fill.test.ts case fails on the previous fold and passes now.
• Settles-gated resume verdict — hooks.givenUp prefers a track drop only when that drop settles the reader (or the reader has no refusal), otherwise reporting its own refusal, mirroring the givenUp fold and Rust's Misses::unclaimed.
• Quest follow-ups recorded — quest/m1/drop-set.md now names the two gaps that forgetting a run leaves (a judged run later shed, and a received copy's tail completion) as the remaining quest work.

Verification

• cd js && bun test net/src: 3,186 pass, 3 skip, 0 fail; bunx tsc --noEmit -p net/tsconfig.json and bunx biome check clean on the changed files.
• Mutation-checked the fold fix: restoring drops.overlapping for the non-full path makes the new pending-refusal test fail.
• Differential-checked Runs.clear against sequential set over 300 randomized cases (adjacent runs, split prefixes/suffixes, spans across gaps) and DropSet.clear likewise; no divergence.
• The new Rust test could not be executed here: the shared target/release build lock stayed held by another cargo session. Its helper signatures and the nothing_arrives/kept_drops premises were verified statically; CI is the gate for it.

Reviewed head 96a994f incrementally from 101be34. No new actionable findings in this update.

Rust now latches a completed end before either expiry or debt shedding forgets its dropped gaps; the regression checks both existing and late readers after reclamation. JavaScript bulk expiry appends fragments individually rather than exceeding the spread argument limit.

The previously reported cached-IETF drop-eviction P2 remains open: js/net/src/track.ts:1202–1203 still bases #keptDrops on transient #wire, which cacheTrack clears. Preserve received origin independently and cover an open IETF cache transition to allow above-edge received drops to expire or pay debt. This is the existing finding, not a new one; SKIP/refusal precedence remains fixed.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static source/diff review. No tests, benchmarks or runtime reproduction executed.

Important

The Rust reached-end latch is correct for the reclaim paths, but js/net still reopens a reached end when its shared drop set forgets a run, and the mid-group end refinement drops the new latch. Both should be fixed before this lands.

Reviewed changes (delta since the prior pullfrog review at 101be3446)

• Reached-end latch — End gained a reached flag, TrackState::latch_reached() records the end before expire_drops/shed_drops remove runs, and is_complete() honours it; a_reached_end_outlives_its_expired_drops covers both the reader that already saw the end and a late one.
• Split-piece spread — js/net/src/drops.ts now pushes each split run one at a time instead of spreading an unbounded pieces array into kept and added.
• Quest — the received-copy tail-completion item is removed from quest/m1/drop-set.md as fixed.

⚠️ The reached-end latch has no js/net counterpart

Subscriber.#complete() recomputes reaches() against the shared DropSet on every poll, and the JS End has no reached field. Once the expiry scan or debt shedding forgets the run that covered a received copy's tail, a reader that already saw the end returns to idle and asks a fill instead of ending. Rust now keeps the end in this exact transition via TrackState::latch_reached, so the two implementations diverge, and the quest item marked fixed is only fixed in Rust.

Technical details

# A received copy's reached end reopens in js/net

## Affected sites
- `js/net/src/track.ts:3993-4000` — `Subscriber.#complete()` recomputes `reaches(this.#received, this.#state.drops, final, refused)` with no latch.
- `js/net/src/track.ts:742-753` — the JS `End` type has no `reached` field (Rust `End::reached`, `rs/moq-net/src/model/track.rs:413`).
- `js/net/src/track.ts:3854-3862` — readers leave via `#state.closed` or `#complete()`; `#state.closed` is set only by `closeTrackState`, so a reached but still-open producer does not short-circuit it.
- `js/net/src/track.ts:1178-1195` and `1163-1174` — `#expireDrops` and `#shedDrops` forget shared runs; `#keptDrops` is `UNBOUNDED` while `#wire` is set (1202-1204).
- `js/net/src/track.ts:2201-2207` — `#owes` reads the arrivals ledger, which a final drop recorded via `#arrive` (1425), so it stays false after the drop set forgets the run.

## Repro shape
- Received copy with a declared end ahead of `#received`; the upstream gives up the tail with a final (not stale) drop, and `#arrive` records it.
- `#complete()` is true and a reader sees done; `#settled()` may even latch `outcome`, but readers do not consult `outcome`.
- While `#wire` is still set, the idle sweep (or a debt shed) forgets the run; `#complete()` flips to false and a later reader gets `{ kind: "idle" }` at 3862 instead of done.

## Required outcome
- A received copy whose declared end was reached keeps ending readers after its drop runs are forgotten, matching Rust's `End::reached` / `latch_reached`.
- The JS equivalent of `a_reached_end_outlives_its_expired_drops` covers a reader that saw the end and a late one.

Reviewed head baf9e09 incrementally from 96a994f. The arrivals accounting addresses end refinement/abort settlement, the bounded forget log rejudges reclaimed runs, and the JS tail and Rust billing changes look consistent with their callers. No new actionable defects found in this delta.

One existing decision merits revisiting with this update: can received origin survive cacheTrack for drop reclamation (js/net/src/track.ts:1232–1233,1254–1258)? The earlier decline depended on cacheTrack clearing End.tail, but this head deliberately retains the tail and makes it owe nothing after the feed ends, so end completion no longer requires protecting those drops. Adding hooks.cacheTrack(producer) before the clock advance in the new a reached end outlives its forgotten skip test leaves #received === 1n, so #keptDrops protects [1,3) from both expiry and debt shedding while the cached copy stays open. Preserve received origin independently of the live wire hook and cover that cache transition. This is the previously reported reclamation issue, not a new finding.

• Reclaim accounting replaces the reached-end latch — TrackState::forget_drops now accounts a reclaimed drop run in the arrivals ledger (as an evicted group stays) and records it in a new miss::Forgotten, while End::reached/latch_reached are gone. A forgotten run is therefore never re-owed by the tail, an end already reached stays reached through a mid-group refinement or a later abort, and a reader that wants one asks a fill.
• JS mirrors the tail semantics — reaches() short-circuits on end.tail, hooks.cacheTrack keeps the tail set and just clears owed and re-evaluates the largest, and #owes now requires #wire. This closes both findings from the previous review: the JS reached-end reopen and the refined-end reached reset no longer exist, and the new a reached end outlives its forgotten skip / a forgotten stale run is asked of a fill cases cover them.
• Bounded forget log — miss::Forgotten keeps four runs by revision and coalesces the oldest two into a wider span under the newer revision, so a lagging reader re-judges at least what it missed. Misses::judge folds only the forgotten runs after its own revision and re-adds the judged gaps it has not taken; Misses::unknown is untouched, and a drops-revision bump already bypasses its memo.
• O(1) drop billing — change_drops derives the bill delta from the whole-map lengths of drops and drops_born instead of counting runs in the affected span, removing the per-change scan a coalesced run could make quadratic.
• Tests — new Rust cases cover a refined end, an abort after a reached end, a judged run asked of a fill, and the forget log's coalescing; the drop-flood tests now also assert the shed runs leave the arrivals unfragmented. The JS mirrors run on the manual clock.

The two earlier Pullfrog threads are already resolved, and the remaining cached-IETF #keptDrops item is human/CodeRabbit review (restated in a prior round), not new here. I ran the JS side: bun test net/src = 3188 pass, 3 skip, 0 fail, and tsc --noEmit -p net/tsconfig.json is clean. Rust tests were not executed in this sandbox; the PR body records just check green on this head.
