Unquarantines js/net's "lite draft-07: a re-offer dropped again before it opens stays stale at the end".

Cause

Reproduced: 3 of 20 full js/net runs failed it under 48 CPU burners (0 of 60 when run alone). The test wrote update 2, ran flush(), then wrote update 3. Under load the publisher's post-update yieldNow() returned before update 3 was decoded, so the loop popped and served the re-offer of group 1, and the end correctly named no hole. No publisher bug: the publisher behaved correctly for the order it saw, and Rust's a_redropped_reoffer_stays_stale_at_the_end_on_lite07 already applies both updates before polling.

Fix

Updates 2 and 3 are encoded into one chunk and written once. The decoder reads buffered bytes with microtasks only, so update 3 is decoded before the task boundary the publisher yields after an update, and so before any pop (or the two coalesce into update 3). The Budget.poll stub is no longer needed and is removed. After the fix: 0 of 30 full js/net runs failed it under the same load.

Caused by

• moq-dev/moq#8333 only quarantined it; the yield-ordered test predates it, no single PR introduced the race.

Impact

Public API: none. Wire: none.

Choices made without asking

• Quarantined the listing-churn flood test found flaky during the loaded runs, in this PR.

• Fixed the test, not the publisher: the publisher serving a re-offer before a not-yet-decoded update is correct.

Follow-ups

• Plan: investigate and unquarantine "a flood of a peer's listing churn yields to the host's tasks" (js/net/src/lite/tracks.test.ts). It timed out at bun's 5 s limit in 2 of 30 full js/net runs under 48 CPU burners on this branch (unrelated to the change), so this PR quarantines it with test.skip per the flaky-test rule. Recommend a test-flakes quest: check whether it waits on wall-clock host tasks instead of a mocked clock or an event.

Walkthrough

The publisher regression test is active. It sends updates 2 and 3 in one write, then checks the stale drop at track end. The listing-churn yielding test is skipped, with a comment recording timeout observations and an issue reference. The README entry and document for the re-dropped re-offer test are removed.

Merge Risk: Low · up to a3d3b

The tests can miss an incorrect stale-drop code or listing starvation. The change is mergeable with these coverage gaps tracked.

ℹ️ No correctness issues found — one small simplification inline.

Reviewed changes

• Re-dropped re-offer test un-skipped: the test.skip and its quarantine marker are gone, and updates 2 and 3 now share one write so update 3 applies before the re-offer can be served.
• Budget stub removed: the Budget.prototype.poll spy and its import are gone since ordering no longer depends on suppressing the write budget's yield.
• Quest child completed: redropped-reoffer.md and its epic ## Required line are deleted, matching the sibling flake-fix pattern (#8307).

I also verified the path is genuinely exercised: over 40 loaded reruns the publisher took update 2 and queued the group 1 re-offer before decoding update 3, so the test is not passing vacuously via update coalescing.

• Listing-churn flood test quarantined: tracks.test.ts's "a flood of a peer's listing churn yields to the host's tasks" now carries test.skip plus a comment citing this PR, with the 2-of-30 loaded timeout evidence and a follow-up test-flakes quest recorded in the body.
• No quest child added for the skip: consistent with #8333, whose quarantine commit also only touched the tests and left the child quests and epic Added records to a later /quest-complete run, so I am not treating the missing entry as a defect.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed 3d69c25. No actionable findings. Updates 2 and 3 are encoded into copied chunks and delivered in one write, letting the buffered decoder finish before the publisher's post-update task boundary rather than depending on a yield count between separate writes. The stale-drop assertion is retained and the global Budget.poll stub is removed. The separate listing-churn test is now explicitly quarantined, so that coverage remains disabled pending its follow-up.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static source/diff review, including the decoder and publisher scheduling paths; no Bun tests or loaded-host reproductions executed.

Assert that update 2 creates the re-offer.

If the publisher coalesces updates 2 and 3, it can produce the expected final drop without creating a re-offer. Synchronize the test after update 2 and assert that group 1 is queued before update 3, while preventing the group from opening.

• Writer.collect adopted for the batched updates: the re-offer test's updates 2 and 3 now use Writer.collect instead of a hand-rolled chunks buffer and flatMap, resolving the prior inline suggestion. The helper does the same per-chunk slice() and concat as the removed code and adds a close()/closed await, and the test still passes and asserts the stale re-drop.
• Prior thread resolved: the only pullfrog inline thread on publisher.test.ts:1563-1570 is closed, so nothing else carries over.

I re-ran the test with bun test js/net/src/lite/publisher.test.ts -t 'a re-offer dropped again before it opens stays stale at the end' --rerun-each 20: 20 pass, 0 fail.
