Problem

Rust relays rejected gapped or nonzero Object IDs, discarded object properties and END_OF_GROUP status positions, and dropped datagrams past Object ID 0. IETF publishers using these fields could not relay their tracks faithfully.

Approach

Keep relay metadata in private storage beside the public frames and datagrams: streamed frames, cached batches, FIRST_OBJECT state, and terminal status. Mutable properties use the negotiated draft's encoding; immutable inner bytes retain encoding provenance and refuse incompatible egress. Gap validation rejects contradictory claims, and cached byte properties own their bytes instead of pinning receive buffers.

FETCH preserves properties and actual Object IDs, serves only marked gaps, and resolves cached groups through the serving route. Complete the object-fields quest and remove its dependency links.

A group's IETF state (header bits, terminal object, per-frame fields) lives in one boxed Relay that a plain group never allocates. Frames stay Frame in the cache and in the read prefetch; a fields table indexed like the frames starts at the first fielded frame, and the prefetch allocates its fields array only when a batch reaches it. Plain reads skip all of it.

Plain read cost

The first revision stored Option<Arc<Fields>> inside every cached frame, so every plain read cloned and dropped it and moved a larger frame through the prefetch. Boxing the relay state and keeping fields in a side table removes that.

Instructions per frame are deterministic (perf stat, one P-core, a fixed-iteration loop draining one cached group of plain 64-byte frames):

read frames main first revision now
single 512 169.3 189.7 (+12%) 153.5 (-9%)
single 8192 168.0 188.2 (+12%) 152.1 (-9%)
batch8 512 234.2 269.7 (+15%) 218.4 (-7%)
batch8 8192 232.8 268.2 (+15%) 217.0 (-7%)

Cycles per frame on the same loop, min of 7 interleaved runs: main 81.7 / 81.1 / 102.8 / 102.0, first revision 93.9 / 87.3 / 129.8 / 129.7, now 79.5 / 82.3 / 98.9 / 110.6 (same row order). The host ran at load 20 to 45, so wall clock and cycles carry about ±5% noise; instruction counts do not.

Criterion sweeps (min of 2 interleaved runs, same binaries)

group_read_frames, every count and capacity:

Targeted reruns at 4 rounds put 512 and 8192 within 3% of main for both single and batch8 (for example batch8/8192 177.2 µs now vs 182.9 µs main, single/8192 176.3 vs 174.7 µs). group_write_frames is unchanged across all three (for example single/8192 353.5 / 359.5 / 353.9 µs).

group_relay_frames (now), plain vs property-bearing frames read through the public path:

frames/readers plain properties
4/1 116 ns 167 ns
4/8 894 ns 1.21 µs
4/64 6.27 µs 9.69 µs
512/1 6.49 µs 10.65 µs

512/64 474.30 µs 744.70 µs
8192/1 118.83 µs 181.60 µs
8192/8 871.24 µs 1.36 ms
8192/64 6.79 ms 10.93 ms

Both axes scale linearly; the property cost is one Arc clone per frame per reader. The sweep reads through a 16-frame buffer: sharing drain_batched::<8> with group_read_frames moved it out of line under fat LTO and shifted that sweep by about 5% with no library change.

Decisions

Made unattended under the maintainer's direction to iterate, cut the plain-path cost, and merge:

  • Plain reads pay nothing for IETF fields: ✅ box the relay state per group and keep fields in a side table (chosen) / keep fields inline but shrink them / accept the cost.
  • Rebase over fix(moq-net): refuse malformed IETF groups with STOP_SENDING #5486: its removal of header priority inheritance stands; this PR no longer re-adds it.
  • Rebase over fix(moq-net): validate FETCH ends and report final objects #5487: FETCH completeness keeps fix(moq-net): validate FETCH ends and report final objects #5487's finished-group check, and additionally treats reading an Object ID past the requested end as proof the range missed the group's final object.
  • Relayed Timestamps (review): ✅ convert mutable ones to the units the egress declares and refuse an immutable one whose units would change (chosen) / keep the ingress timescale on the cached track.
  • Relayed datagrams (review): one the downstream draft cannot carry is dropped like an oversized one rather than ending the subscription, and an omitted priority is sent as the resolved track default.
  • Rebase over Gate moq-net async helpers and sessions behind a default feature #5503 and fix(net): hand each group sequence out once per reader #5446: relay helpers used only by sessions sit behind the async feature, and datagram replay suppression keeps fix(net): hand each group sequence out once per reader #5446's per-reader delivery.
  • Object IDs vs frame ordinals (second review): an Object ID never stands in for a frame ordinal. FETCH reads a relayed group from its first frame and filters by ID; a first object's gap may cover IDs below where a fetched copy starts; route recovery refuses a replacement copy that began past a gap instead of splicing a different object's bytes; datagram failover keys on Group and Object ID. The refusal stays until a frame from the adopted copy passes, and drops what that copy prefetched, so neither a batch nor a later single read can hide it.
  • Timestamps to an egress without units (third review): a timed ingress's mutable Timestamps are dropped there, as a plain frame carries none, and a sealed one is refused. An untimed ingress still forwards them untouched.
  • FETCH and END_OF_GROUP (third and fourth reviews): drafts 14 and 15 carry the terminal object as a status, count it in the End Location, and a receiving relay counts it too. Later drafts have no FETCH status and end at the last frame, as before.
  • Property 0x06 (fifth review): drafts 19+ assign it to SUBGROUP_DELIVERY_TIMEOUT, so only earlier drafts read it as the loc-03 Timestamp, in Rust and JS. Across the draft-19 boundary a mutable 0x06 is dropped and a sealed one refused.
  • Status object properties (fifth review): drafts 15+ forbid them, so ingest refuses them with a session PROTOCOL_VIOLATION, and a draft-14 END_OF_GROUP leaves a later draft without them.
  • Streams starting mid-group without a fill (fifth review): still accepted as the subgroup's start, as the quest decided; replied on the thread.

Impact

  • Public API: none. Published frame/datagram APIs and struct literals are unchanged; a fuzz-feature-only fixture supports the relay benchmark.
  • Wire: existing moq-transport fields now survive subgroup 0 on an IETF relay path; no new framing, codepoints, or negotiation. Relayed Timestamps leave in the units the response declares, and a relayed datagram that omitted its priority carries the resolved default. A group read across a route change fails with Unsupported when the replacement copy's Object IDs diverge from its ordinals. Draft 14 and 15 FETCH responses carry a relayed END_OF_GROUP object. Plain readers and plain lite do not see the metadata.
  • Wire: Rust and JS no longer read Object Property 0x06 as a Timestamp on drafts 19+. Rust refuses properties on a draft-15+ status object.
  • Memory: a plain group carries one null pointer; its cache charge and frame slots match main. A relayed group charges its boxed state, one fields slot per frame from the first fielded one, and each field's heap.

Alternatives

Private absolute IDs let cached slices interpret their objects without earlier frames. Chained deltas would require reconstructing that history; public object fields would expand the API contrary to the quest's scope. Immutable blocks are refused across incompatible encoding families instead of rewritten.

Follow-ups

  • Sparse Object ID route recovery: sparse groups refuse ordinal-based recovery instead of fetching different objects. A follow-up should give recovery private Object ID coordinates so a route change can resume a sparse group.
  • Datagrams still store an Option<Arc<Wire>> beside every datagram (8 bytes and one branch on the plain path); no benchmark covers the datagram read path today.
  • The existing subgroup, dynamic-group, track-property, and lite-hop quests remain separate.

Object-fields implementation is complete in 1ca79f3. The final moq-net gate (2,015 tests), JavaScript tests, cross-language interop, Markdown, flake, and benchmark sweep passed. The final broad check hit the existing auth-refresh clock flake: 28.736 s against its 29 s floor, tracked in quest/m1/test-flakes-2/auth-refresh-mock-time.md.

Recommendation: keep sparse Object ID recovery as a separate quest. This PR refuses ordinal-based recovery instead of requesting different objects. The remaining subgroup, dynamic-group, track-property, and lite-hop work stays in the existing epic.

P1 Badge Preserve timestamp units when forwarding stored properties

When an upstream timed track uses a scale other than microseconds, accepted_info normalizes the model track to microseconds, but this branch re-emits the cached raw Timestamp property without converting its value to the downstream track scale. Any frame with retained fields, including sparse IDs or extra properties, therefore gets a different presentation time downstream; poll_datagrams has the same problem because it also calls object::write on the raw properties. Preserve the ingress timescale for wire egress or convert mutable timestamps before serialization, and refuse immutable timestamps when their units cannot be preserved.

Agreed, fixed in 09d6f9f. Relayed properties now record the ingress timescale, and object::write converts mutable Timestamps (0x10, and the draft-03 0x06 key) to the units the egress declares on every path: subgroup objects, the END_OF_GROUP status object, FETCH, and datagrams. An immutable block holding a Timestamp is refused when the units differ, since rewriting it would break immutability. An egress that declares no units (drafts 14 to 16) forwards the value untouched. passthrough_converts_relayed_timestamps_to_the_egress_units relays a millisecond track and fails without the conversion.

P2 Badge Resolve inherited datagram priority before re-emitting it

When the upstream datagram omits its priority, wire.priority is None; on draft 15+ this preserves the omission rather than the inherited value. If the downstream request has properties_wanted = false, track_properties omits the upstream default publisher priority, so the emitted DEFAULT_PRIORITY bit makes the receiver use 128 even when the source track default was different. Resolve None to self.track.info().priority whenever the downstream control response does not carry the same default.

Agreed, fixed in 09d6f9f. An omitted datagram priority now resolves to the track's default on every draft, so the receiver never falls back to 128 when the response omits or changes that default. passthrough_preserves_datagram_objects_through_dispatch now relays one datagram without a priority.

Walkthrough

The Rust relay now retains object IDs, gaps, properties, status, and datagram metadata across IETF ingestion and serving. Plain readers continue to receive consecutive frames, and the public datagram API continues to expose datagrams without relay metadata. Sparse groups cannot resume across route changes using frame ordinals. Documentation, tests, and benchmarks were updated to describe or exercise these behaviors.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2e2e3

A route change can produce a mixed object payload or drop a distinct datagram. Resolve these failover behaviors before merging unless the risk is explicitly accepted.

Iterated to landable at 09d6f9f:

  • Rebased over fix(moq-net): refuse malformed IETF groups with STOP_SENDING #5486 (its removal of header priority inheritance stands), fix(moq-net): validate FETCH ends and report final objects #5487 (FETCH completeness keeps its finished-group check; reading an Object ID past the requested end now also proves the range missed the final object), and fix(net): distinguish live feeds from retained caches #5505.
  • Plain reads no longer pay for IETF fields. The cost came from storing Option<Arc<Fields>> inside every cached frame, which every plain read cloned, dropped, and moved through a larger prefetch slot. A group's IETF state now lives in one boxed Relay a plain group never allocates, with per-frame fields in a side table that starts at the first fielded frame. Plain reads went from 12 to 15% more instructions per frame than main to 7 to 9% fewer; wall clock and cycles are back within host noise. Full sweeps are in the description.
  • Review fixes: relayed Timestamps convert to the units the egress declares (an immutable one whose units would change is refused), unencodable relayed datagrams are dropped instead of ending the subscription, and an omitted datagram priority is sent as the resolved track default. Each has a regression test.
  • just check (6,381 tests) and just test interop --all pass on the final head.

Follow-up: give sparse groups private Object ID coordinates for route recovery, so a route change can resume them instead of refusing.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 2e2e3d0.

The private boxed relay state and side-table approach is a sensible way to preserve wire metadata without expanding the public frame API. The timestamp-unit, inherited-priority and best-effort datagram fixes address the earlier independent findings (#5494 (comment), #5494 (comment), #5494 (comment)).

Three issues identified in the earlier read-only inspection remain on this head, now recorded inline: partial-frame recovery can splice different Object IDs, FETCH can skip an in-range sparse object, and route switching drops distinct datagrams sharing a Group ID. These are not new regressions in the latest async-gating commit.

Verification: GitHub-only static inspection, including rebase-aware comparison and relevant recovery/FETCH paths. No tests or benchmarks executed; reported performance numbers were not independently reproduced.

P1: Validate the replacement object's identity before resuming bytes.

This checks only the old group's sparse flag. An old dense Object 0 can yield prefix ab of a four-byte frame, then fail; a new route is allowed to begin the same group at Object 6 with FIRST_OBJECT clear (see a_clear_first_object_past_zero_is_preserved). Recover::poll_serving selects ordinal 0 of that replacement, and the size-only check below accepts a four-byte WXYZ frame. The reader then emits YZ, producing abYZ under the old Object 0 metadata. Refuse recovery when the replacement is sparse or its actual Object ID differs, checking after its header becomes available as well. Add a dense-to-sparse replacement test; the existing test covers only an already-sparse old group.

Agreed, fixed in 61dd962. A recovered frame now compares the replacement frame's Object ID once its header is available and refuses with Unsupported when it differs from the frame's ordinal (this copy is already known dense through it). The group cursor had the same flaw, so the first frame read from an adopted copy now also requires that copy to be dense. a_replacement_past_a_gap_refuses_ordinal_recovery covers both the half-read ab + WXYZ case and a whole-frame switch onto a copy beginning at Object 6; each half fails without its check.

P2: Do not use a wire Object ID as a cached frame ordinal for leading gaps.

For a fetchable cached group containing Object IDs 6 and 8 with explicit gaps 6 and 1, a FETCH starting at Object 1 and including Object 8 should return both objects. Here skip=1 is below first_id=6, so the fallback selects frame_start=1. Fetch resolution calls group.start_at(1), skipping ordinal 0/Object 6 before the ID filter runs. Start at the cached ordinal for fielded groups regardless of whether skip precedes first_id, then filter by actual Object ID. Cover a FETCH beginning inside the marked leading gap.

Agreed, fixed in 61dd962. Both reviews caught this. Ordinal skip was wrong for any relayed group, not just below first_id. A relayed group's marked gaps cover every ID from where its copy starts up to its first object, so FETCH now starts at skip.min(first_frame) and filters by actual Object ID. A start below the copy misses to the upstream instead of skipping cached objects. passthrough_fetch_requires_marked_gaps_and_preserves_fields now also fetches from Object 2 over cached Objects 6 and 8.

P2: Include Object ID in datagram deduplication across route changes.

This path now carries nonzero Object IDs, but the replacement Copy still initializes datagrams_seen from a group-only watermark (line 482). If route A delivered (Group G, Object 6), a later distinct (G, Object 8) on route B is discarded by sequence <= seen. Multiple objects in one group work on a stable route but are lost at failover. Track the relevant wire object identity when suppressing replayed datagrams, while retaining the plain-datagram semantics, and test a route switch between two Object IDs in the same group.

Agreed, fixed in 61dd962. The replay watermark is now (Group, Object ID), with Object 0 for plain datagrams, so a replacement copy still suppresses what was already handed out but delivers later objects of the same group. See a_new_copy_hands_out_later_objects_of_a_seen_group.

P1 Badge Scan wire objects instead of skipping frame ordinals

When a cached fetchable group starts above Object ID 0, a request beginning inside that initial gap is incorrectly treated as a frame offset. For example, with retained objects 6 and 8, a FETCH starting at Object 2 sets frame_start to 2, so fetch_group skips both cached frames before the later Object-ID filter runs and returns an empty response. Any group carrying wire metadata must be scanned from its current model index, since the requested Object ID is not a public frame ordinal.

P1 Badge Accept an initial gap that covers the fetched prefix

When an upstream FETCH starts inside an initial Object-ID gap, this equality marks a valid response as unfetchable. For example, a request starting at Object 2 can validly receive Object 6 with its preserved Prior Object ID Gap value of 6, but the model offset makes missing equal 4, so fetchable becomes false and the downstream FETCH is rejected as unsupported. For the first retained object, the original gap may cover IDs before the requested start and should be accepted when it covers the missing range rather than only when it equals it.

Agreed, fixed in 61dd962. For the first object a copy receives, a gap at least as large as the missing span is accepted, since it may reach below where the copy starts. Later objects still require an exact gap. a_leading_gap_may_reach_below_where_the_copy_starts covers gaps of 6, 4, and 3 and no gap.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit 61dd962, focusing on the identity fixes after the rebase.

The previous partial-frame byte splice, leading-gap FETCH offset, and same-group datagram watermark examples are addressed. The first retained object's wider Prior Object ID Gap is also accepted as requested in #5494 (comment). The focused changes and regression cases are the right direction.

One remaining recovery issue is recorded inline: the new group-copy refusal is consumed once, so batch readers can hide it and subsequently continue on the incompatible replacement. This is a gap in the new fix, not a repeat of the now-fixed partial-frame example.

Verification: static GitHub review of the update, surrounding FETCH/recovery/batch-egress paths, and review replies. No tests or benchmarks executed.

P2: Keep the incompatible-copy refusal sticky across batch reads.

read(self, waiter) has already advanced the replacement cursor, and mem::take clears adopted before returning Unsupported. Both poll_read_objects and poll_read_frames suppress an error if their output already contains a frame. For example, let old group 0 contain only complete Object 0 and remain open, then switch to a copy holding Objects 6, 7, 8. A batch can return old Object 0, adopt the replacement at ordinal 1, discard Object 7 with Unsupported, and hide that error behind the nonempty batch. The next batch then returns Object 8 with adopted == false. The live IETF publisher uses this batching path, so the intended group refusal need never reach it.

Persist the refusal or validate before consuming the replacement, ensuring a partially successful batch exposes the error on its next call and cannot deliver later replacement frames. Add a multi-frame batch regression followed by another read; the new single-read assertion misses this case.

Agreed, fixed in febed63. The refusal is now sticky: adopted clears only once a frame from the replacement copy passes the density check, so a batch that swallows the first Unsupported sees it again on its next call and never reaches Object 8. a_replacement_past_a_gap_refuses_ordinal_recovery adds your batch case: old Object 0 open, a switch to a copy holding Objects 6, 7, 8, one batch returning only Object 0, then the next batch failing. It fails with the one-shot check. The frame-level check was already sticky, since it reruns on every retry without adopting the replacement.

Thanks for carrying this through. We have a concrete downstream consumer for the relay metadata path: Blockcast's draft-20 dual-stack relay currently receives MoQT objects into a UnifiedObject registry and then publishes them through moq-net 0.3.10's public track::Producer / group::Producer API.

That bridge currently calls group.write_frame(timestamp, payload), so it necessarily:

  • renumbers source Object IDs and gaps as frame ordinals;
  • folds non-zero subgroup IDs into subgroup 0; and
  • drops unknown Object Properties (our test uses 0x11 and 0x7B) and status metadata.

We are not going to carry a private moq-net fork. Our proposed integration plan is therefore:

  1. keep this PR as the upstream relay-preservation foundation;
  2. add or consume a supported object-level ingress/egress API (or a dedicated raw IETF relay mode) that accepts the object ID, subgroup ID, properties, and terminal status alongside payload/timestamp;
  3. replace the lossy UnifiedObject -> write_frame adapter with that path; and
  4. gate the change on a real relay test proving IDs/gaps, subgroup IDs, properties, and End-of-Group survive across three receivers.

Would you prefer that API to remain crate-private and expose a dedicated relay adapter, or should downstream relay integrations target a small public object-ingress surface? The latter is the integration point we need; without it, #5494 cannot repair this particular bridge even though it fixes moq-net's native IETF relay path.

One qualification for our downstream plan: #5494 solves the object IDs/gaps, properties, status, and datagram metadata needed for the subgroup-0 IETF relay path. It does not by itself solve our non-zero subgroup requirement; our ingress uses separate source subgroups and the current bridge folds them into subgroup 0.

So we will treat #5494 as the dependency for lossless object fields where it applies, while separately deciding between:

  • a raw draft-20 passthrough that preserves subgroup streams end to end; or
  • an explicit application mapping of each source subgroup to a separate track, with the mapping documented and tested.

We will not claim full metadata fidelity from consuming #5494 alone.

Thanks for landing the internal metadata path. We have a downstream consumer that needs a supported ingress boundary, so here is a concrete proposal rather than relying on crate-private symbols.

Blockcast's draft-20 relay receives source objects as (group_id, subgroup_id, object_id, payload, properties, terminal status) and must fan them out to native draft-20 subscribers. The public API we need is an object-level relay adapter, for example:

pub struct Object {
    pub id: u64,
    pub gap: Option<u64>,              // or an explicit first-object marker
    pub properties: Bytes,              // immutable, already draft-encoded
    pub payload: Bytes,
    pub status: Option<u64>,
}
pub struct SubgroupInfo { pub id: u64, pub priority: u8, pub end_of_group: bool }
pub fn group::Producer::write_object(
    &mut self,
    subgroup: SubgroupInfo,
    object: Object,
) -> Result<()>;

The API must retain the wire object ID/gap, subgroup identity, opaque odd/even properties, status objects, and datagram metadata through the IETF publisher. A decoded KVP-only type is insufficient for a relay that bridges drafts because immutable property encoding cannot always be re-encoded safely. It would also help to expose a supported write_datagram equivalent.

If the intended boundary is different, the key requirement is a documented public adapter with these fields and a small wire round-trip test covering leading/interior gaps, a non-zero subgroup, unknown odd properties, END_OF_GROUP, and one datagram. Until that exists, Blockcast will keep its current bridge marked payload-compatible only and will not claim transparent relay fidelity.

P1 Badge Preserve terminal status objects in FETCH snapshots

When a cached group has an explicit END_OF_GROUP object, reaching None here discards group.end_object() because FetchedGroup stores only normal frames. Besides dropping the terminal object's ID and properties from draft-14/15 FETCH responses, complete and FetchedGroup::end() can then report the last frame as the group's true end, so a final-track FETCH may advertise an earlier end boundary. Capture the terminal object when it falls in the requested range and serialize it where supported, or refuse an egress that cannot represent it. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Agreed, fixed in ab270d0. A FETCH now keeps the group's END_OF_GROUP object when it falls in the range of a finished group, and FetchedGroup::end() counts it, so the end-of-track End Location and draft 20's Largest Object cover it. Its properties are validated with the frames before FETCH_OK. Drafts 14 and 15 write it as a size-0 object with status END_OF_GROUP. Later drafts have no FETCH status, so they only count it in the end. passthrough_fetch_keeps_the_end_of_group_object relays Objects 6, 8 and an END_OF_GROUP at 11 on drafts 15 and 22. It fails without the fix (End Location 9 instead of 12).

P1 Badge Refuse sealed timestamps when egress declares no scale

For a timed draft-18+ ingress relayed to drafts 14 through 16, the remaining (Some(_), None) case falls through to convert = None, so the immutable-timestamp check passes and the raw value is emitted even though the downstream response declares no timescale. The receiver treats that track as untimed and cannot recover the timestamp's units on a later hop. Treat a missing egress scale as incompatible whenever a sealed Timestamp has an ingress scale, rather than forwarding it unchanged. This is fresh evidence beyond the earlier resolved scaling comment because that fix only handles two present but unequal scales. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Agreed, fixed in ab270d0, and widened. A timed ingress relayed to an egress that declares no units (drafts 14 to 16) now drops its mutable Timestamps (0x10 and the draft-03 0x06), as a plain frame there carries none. A sealed one, which can neither be dropped nor keep its meaning, is refused with Unsupported. An untimed ingress still forwards them untouched. The object.rs unit tests cover each case.

Properties can't be Bytes because the encoding changes between versions (I think we support 4 different encodings between 14-22). Likewise we can't proxy a u64 status either. It's the reason why the simple moq-net abstraction exists instead of being hyper fixated on one version.

Would you prefer that API to remain crate-private

Yeah I can't open pandora's box and support moq-transport via the API. I'm opinionated and want to force clients to avoid features that are difficult for the relay. No sub-groups, filters, gaps, etc because they hurt performance.

But if somebody reaaaaallly wants to use a moq-transport client on both sides, go for it. I can't support PUBLISH or top-K or a load of junk getting added to the draft.

And if you do want to use the full moq-transport API, you gotta fork. Every API added means that very moq-net subscriber needs to support it too.

ex. gap: u64 seems harmless on Object/Frame for a publisher, but now every subscriber needs to check it and decide what to do when non-zero. If YOU instead encode gap: u64 into the object/frame payload then only YOUR application needs to be prepared to support it.

renumbers source Object IDs and gaps as frame ordinals;
folds non-zero subgroup IDs into subgroup 0; and
drops unknown Object Properties (our test uses 0x11 and 0x7B) and status metadata.

All of these thing should be stuff in the object payload because they have zero impact on the relay. and IMO sub-groups should be separate tracks so you can actually select/prioritize them.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: ab270d0, focusing on updates since 61dd962 and the intervening read-only review.

The missing-egress-timescale finding (#5494 (comment)) is addressed: mutable timestamps are dropped and sealed timestamps refused. Preserving terminal objects is the right direction, but the new FETCH end boundary disagrees with the receiving relay (P2 inline).

The earlier sticky-refusal finding (#5494 (comment)) is fixed for batch→batch reads, but remains for batch→async read_frame: group.rs:1966–1972 pops prefetched frames without checking adopted. With old Object 0 followed by replacement Objects 6/7/8, the first batch can hide Unsupported for 7 and a subsequent read_frame returns prefetched 8. Guard that fast path or preserve a terminal error; add a mixed-read regression. This is the same remaining case identified in the intervening read-only review, not a new finding.

Verification: static review of changed serialization, FETCH sender/receiver bounds, recovery and tests. No tests or benchmarks executed.

P2: Reconcile the receiving FETCH cursor with this terminal-inclusive end. For a final-track group with data Object 0 and END_OF_GROUP Object 1, FETCH_OK now advertises exclusive end 2. On drafts 14/15 recv_group_fetch_objects sets ended=true for the status but leaves next=1; on drafts 16–19 no status is emitted, also leaving next=1. subscriber.rs:4331–4338 then rejects clean FIN as ProtocolViolation and aborts the cache entry. Update the receiving terminal/implicit-end accounting consistently and add a real publisher→subscriber cache-fill test across drafts 14–19. The new test only parses outgoing bytes and cannot catch this second-relay failure.

Agreed, fixed in ab1684f. Both ends now agree on the end. The publisher keeps the END_OF_GROUP object only on drafts 14 and 15, which carry it, so drafts 16 and later end the response at the last frame again. The receiver now counts a received END_OF_GROUP status as an Object ID (next = id + 1), while an END_OF_TRACK marker still does not, so a clean FIN after the status meets the End Location. recv_fetch_payload returns a Fetched enum instead of a bool to tell the three apart. passthrough_fetch_keeps_the_end_of_group_object is now a real round trip on drafts 15, 16, 17, and 22. It relays a final-track group through a publisher's FETCH answer, then feeds that answer to recv_group_fetch_objects on the next relay and checks its cache, including the terminal object on draft 15. It fails with ProtocolViolation without the receiver change.

The batch then read_frame case from the review summary is fixed in ab1684f. The async fast path popped the frames the refused batch had prefetched without returning to the check. Rather than add a branch to that hot path, the refusal now resets the cursor's prefetch, so the next read of any kind goes back through poll_resumed and is refused again. Plain reads are unchanged: a fast-path guard measured +2 instructions per single read, so I dropped it. a_replacement_past_a_gap_refuses_ordinal_recovery now follows the refused batch with both a batch and a read_frame. The read_frame case fails without the reset.

Reviewed commit: ab1684f, against ab270d0.

The FETCH completion finding (#5494 (comment)) is fixed: draft-14/15 receivers count END_OF_GROUP, while later senders compute the final-track end from emitted frames. The regression now feeds the emitted payload into the next relay's receiver. The mixed batch/single-read recovery case is also addressed by clearing prefetched frames on incompatible-copy refusal, with both read modes covered.

No new actionable bugs found in this delta. The explicit Fetched enum makes terminal accounting clearer than the former bool, and the fixes stay focused.

Verification: static review of sender/receiver bounds, the other payload caller, recovery fast paths and tests. No tests/builds executed. The new FETCH round trip covers drafts 15/16/17/22, not every supported draft.

Iterated to landable at ab1684f, superseding the earlier summary at 09d6f9f:

  • Rebased over Gate moq-net async helpers and sessions behind a default feature #5503 (session-only relay helpers now sit behind async) and fix(net): hand each group sequence out once per reader #5446 (datagram replay keeps its per-reader delivery). The branch merges cleanly with current main.
  • Plain reads are unchanged by the review fixes. Instruction counts per frame on the final tree are 153.5 / 152.1 / 218.4 / 217.0 (single/512, single/8192, batch8/512, batch8/8192), against main's 169.3 / 168.0 / 234.2 / 232.8.
  • Four more review rounds (2e2e3d0, 61dd962, febed63, ab270d0) all came back to one theme: a relayed Object ID must never stand in for a frame ordinal. Fixed:
    • FETCH reads a relayed group from its first frame and filters by ID.
    • A first object's gap may reach below where a fetched copy starts.
    • Route recovery refuses a replacement copy that began past a gap instead of splicing a different object's bytes. This covers the frame and group levels, and the refusal sticks across batch and single reads.
    • Datagram failover keys on (Group, Object ID).
    • Drafts 14 and 15 carry END_OF_GROUP through FETCH, and the receiving relay counts it.
    • A timed Timestamp sent to an egress without units is dropped, or refused when immutable.
    • Each fix has a regression test that fails without it.
  • just check and just test interop --all pass on the final tree, and CI is green. The OpenAI review of ab1684f found nothing new.

Follow-ups:

  • Sparse Object ID route recovery: give recovery private Object ID coordinates so a route change can resume a sparse group instead of refusing it.
  • Datagrams still carry an Option<Arc<Wire>> on the plain path, and no benchmark covers datagram reads.

Relayed Timestamp properties leave in the units the egress declares, and
an immutable one that would change units is refused. A relayed datagram
the downstream draft cannot carry is dropped instead of ending the
subscription, and an omitted datagram priority resolves to the track
default.

A FETCH starting inside a cached group's leading gap skipped its objects,
because the start Object ID was used as a frame ordinal. A relayed group is
now read from its first frame and filtered by ID.

A first object's Prior Object ID Gap may cover IDs below where a fetched
copy starts, so it no longer makes that copy unfetchable.

Route recovery spliced a different object's bytes when the replacement copy
began past a gap. A replacement frame must now carry the same Object ID, and
an adopted copy must be dense through the first frame it returns.

Datagram replay suppression after a route change keys on Group and Object
ID, so later objects of an already-seen group are still handed out.

A batch read that already holds frames swallows one error, so a refusal
that cleared itself let the next batch continue on a replacement copy whose
Object IDs had diverged from its ordinals. The refusal now stands until a
frame from that copy passes the check.

A FETCH discarded a cached group's END_OF_GROUP object, so drafts 14 and
15 lost its ID and properties and the response could end before it. The
object now counts toward the fetched group's end on every draft, and drafts
14 and 15 carry it as a status object.

A timed ingress relayed to an egress that declares no units forwarded raw
Timestamps the receiver cannot interpret. Mutable ones are now dropped, as
a plain frame there carries none, and an immutable one is refused.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A FETCH counted the END_OF_GROUP object in its end on drafts that cannot
carry it, and a receiving relay never counted one it did receive, so the
next relay rejected the clean FIN as short of the End Location. Only
drafts 14 and 15 keep the object, and the receiver counts its Object ID.

A refused recovered copy left its prefetched frames for read_frame's fast
path, which hands them out without the check. The refusal now drops them.

P1 Badge Gate legacy 0x06 timestamp handling by draft

Fresh evidence beyond the resolved timestamp thread is that draft 20 and later assign Object Property 0x06 to SUBGROUP_DELIVERY_TIMEOUT, while Timestamp is 0x10 (draft-20 property registry). On a timed draft-20+ track, this filter treats a compliant timeout as a legacy Timestamp, so relaying between different timescales multiplies the timeout and relaying to a unitless egress drops it. Restrict legacy 0x06 Timestamp conversion to drafts where that interpretation applies and otherwise preserve it unchanged.

Drafts 19 through 22 define 0x06 as an Object Property (SUBGROUP_DELIVERY_TIMEOUT), while 18 lists it as a Track Property only, so 0x06 is read as the loc-03 Timestamp only before draft 19. That decode is shared, so plain Rust readers follow it too, and JS decodeObjectTime now matches. On a draft-19+ track it is opaque: forwarded unchanged whatever the units, and never dropped for a unitless egress. Relaying across the draft-19 boundary flips its meaning either way, so a mutable 0x06 is dropped there and a sealed one is refused with Unsupported. key_six_follows_its_draft covers each case, and a JS test checks the decode on drafts 18 and 19.

P1 Badge Reject unfilled partial groups

When a draft-18+ stream arrives with FIRST_OBJECT clear and its first Object ID above zero, with no fill or resume, this branch now creates a fresh group and appends that tail as frame 0. Public and moq-lite consumers then receive an incomplete group while the missing prefix is invisible, and a lite hop renumbers the first retained object as frame 0. Preserve nonzero IDs only for complete groups, and retain the previous refusal for a stream explicitly marked as starting partway through its group.

Disagree, this behavior is intended. The maintainer settled it in the quest this PR completes (objects.md on main): "A stream that starts past object 0, or with FIRST_OBJECT clear, is accepted as the subgroup's start when no fill or resume is pending." The epic also requires the FIRST_OBJECT bit to survive the relay byte for byte for moxygen's moq-test. A relay forwards what the publisher sent and invents no prefix. IETF egress still carries the publisher's first Object ID and FIRST_OBJECT claim, so a downstream moq-transport subscriber sees the same partial-start signal. Plain and lite readers see frames from 0, as the epic intends: gaps stay invisible to them. A fill or resume still refuses a mid-group stream it cannot stitch, as before. Tightening that rule for lite egress would change the quest's scope, so it belongs to the maintainer rather than this PR.

P1 Badge Refuse properties on terminal status objects

When an upstream subgroup supplies nonempty Object Properties on an END_OF_GROUP status, ingest now caches them and this path serializes them again. Object Properties are forbidden on non-Normal statuses (draft-22 Object Properties), so a compliant downstream closes its entire session with PROTOCOL_VIOLATION; the same cached terminal is also used by FETCH emission. Reject the malformed upstream status instead of forwarding its properties.

Agreed, fixed in 796a714. Draft 14 forbids extensions only on Object Does Not Exist, and draft 15 on forbids them on every non-Normal status. On those drafts, a subgroup or FETCH status object (END_OF_GROUP or END_OF_TRACK) with properties is now refused at ingest with a session PROTOCOL_VIOLATION, the same error as the datagram rule. An END_OF_GROUP relayed from draft 14 keeps its properties to a draft-14 egress and leaves without them elsewhere, on both the subgroup and FETCH paths. Draft 15+ can no longer mark a gap before END_OF_GROUP, so passthrough_fetch_keeps_the_end_of_group_object keeps its END_OF_GROUP contiguous there and covers the gapped case on draft 14. passthrough_keeps_properties_off_status_objects covers the refusal and the draft-14 to 15 stripping.

Draft-19 reassigns Object Property 0x06 from the draft-ietf-moq-loc-03
Timestamp to SUBGROUP_DELIVERY_TIMEOUT, so only earlier drafts read it as
a time. Across that boundary a mutable 0x06 is dropped and a sealed one
refused. JS decodes the same way.

From draft 15, only a Normal object may carry properties: a status object
with them is refused on ingest, and one relayed from draft 14 leaves
without them.

P2 Badge Retain properties on END_OF_TRACK objects

When a draft-14 subgroup carries properties on an END_OF_TRACK object, check_status explicitly permits them, but this branch records only the Object ID in Ended::Track; the later inline or standalone END_OF_TRACK emission therefore synthesizes an object without the original properties. Unlike the resolved END_OF_GROUP path, this still drops valid fields such as a Prior Object ID Gap, so retain the terminal fields alongside the track end or refuse the object rather than silently changing it.

On the draft-14 END_OF_TRACK properties finding in the latest review: not fixing this here. The quest this PR completes carries END_OF_GROUP status objects. END_OF_TRACK stays a track-level Location, as on main, which also dropped its properties. Only draft 14 allows them there. Refusing the object would break draft-14 publishers that relay today. Carrying it would mean storing terminal fields on the track rather than the group, which is new scope beyond this quest. I'll list it as a possible follow-up for the maintainer.

Merging at 796a714. Since the summary at ab1684f:

  • The branch merges cleanly with main.
  • Codex's three findings on 3908bde:
    • Property 0x06 is read as the loc-03 Timestamp only before draft 19, which assigns it to SUBGROUP_DELIVERY_TIMEOUT. JS decodes the same way. Across the draft-19 boundary a mutable 0x06 is dropped and a sealed one refused.
    • From draft 15, a status object carrying properties is refused at ingest with a session PROTOCOL_VIOLATION. A draft-14 END_OF_GROUP leaves later drafts without its properties.
    • Mid-group streams without a fill stay accepted, as the quest decided; replied on the thread.
  • Codex's follow-up on 796a714 (draft-14 END_OF_TRACK properties) is outside the quest's END_OF_GROUP scope and unchanged from main; replied, and left as a possible follow-up.
  • The earlier queue attempt was dequeued by moq-relay::drills bursts_cross_a_transport_peer::impaired: the publisher's QUIC handshake to the origin timed out under the shaped link, before any object crossed a relay. The same head passed PR CI, so this looks like an unrelated flake.
  • just check and just test interop --all pass locally, and CI is green.

Blockcast validation note: this upstream fix addresses the metadata-loss class we measured in our draft-20 relay path (object IDs, subgroup IDs, END_OF_GROUP position, and unknown object properties). Our relay-side implementation is tracked in Blockcast/pim-multicast-gateway#3864 at exact head e23c386ad6a00bd906f2712a66755ba1e0a21abc; its image-bound fidelity run passed 3/3, including a negative control that detects stripping property 0x11. We will keep the upstream relay behavior as the reference and remove private duplication as the upstream capability lands.
