Follow epochless restarts in exports and bindings - #5700

A stdout export other than TS read the old instance's sticky subscriptions until its session closed, where they end cleanly, so an epochless GOAWAY drain or publisher replacement exited 0 as if the broadcast had finished. fMP4, MKV, FLV, and the Annex-B sinks now watch the path from before it resolves and exit 1 once a replacement's old instance ends, as TS does without --stitch. Only TS can mark a break in its output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`MoqAnnouncedBroadcast::available()` resolved the path once, and calling it again handed back whatever served the path now. A binding consumer had to watch the prefix's announcements itself to notice a restart, and none did, so an epochless GOAWAY drain or publisher replacement left its tracks ending cleanly as if the broadcast had finished. Each `available()` now resolves the next publisher instance: the first call the one serving the path, later calls the one that takes over (a restart) or that returns after an end. The first call behaves as before. Every language wrapper forwards it, so only their docs change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The callback delivered one broadcast handle and then its terminal 0, so a C consumer never learned that another publisher instance took the path. It now delivers a fresh handle for each instance serving the path, matching moq-ffi's `available()`, and its terminal only on cancel, an error, or the origin closing. The interop C client frees the handles it does not read. The upgrade guide notes this and the non-TS export change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The C client's fail() and the C++ client's fail() exited without closing their session, so every failing cell also left the relay to time its connection out. Both now close the session, bounded at five seconds, then exit 1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The stdout exports, moq-ffi, moq-c, and the interop clients are done. JS
already follows through `origin.request(path, { announced: true })`, and the
interop subscribers read one frame, so they need no follow. What remains are
moq-cli's server and push sinks and the OBS source, each its own quest.

A foreign cancel only drops the available() future, so a caller retrying after a timeout keeps the same handle. The wait cleared its unseen flag before resolving, so a wait dropped while the path was covered but not yet served lost the instance, and the retry waited for another one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When the old instance ended before the guard ran again, the replacement and the finished export were both ready, and select! picked one at random, so a replaced export could exit 0. Bias the select toward the replacement. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
routed_broadcast can resolve an instance that took over while it waited, with the restart announcing it still unread. The next wait took that restart and delivered the same instance again. Both follow loops now apply the changes on hand after resolving and resolve again if the serving instance moved. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A takeover at the same prefix resolves at once while the origin holds its restart for the update hold, so settling the follower after resolving missed it and the held restart delivered the same instance again. Compare the resolved broadcast with the one delivered last instead, which covers a restart landing during resolution too, and drop the post-resolution settle. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A route change is never fatal: the export stays on the old instance while its publisher serves it, and once that route dies its tracks end with an error, which already fails the export. The replacement guard only turned a publisher's clean finish after a replacement into exit 1, so delete it, along with its doc and upgrade notes. The follow-up quests now state the same rule. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pin the rule that a route change alone is never fatal but a dead route is. After an epochless replacement, a subscription on the old instance keeps reading while its publisher serves it, and the old session closing ends it with an error, never cleanly: in moq-net directly and through a relay, inside and past the update hold; in js/net on lite and IETF, before and after the restart; and as an fMP4 export whose old publisher is interrupted right after the replacement announces.

WalkthroughThe C and FFI announcement APIs now follow publisher instances and can deliver successive handles for a path. New tests cover takeovers, offline gaps, cancellation, and replacement-session behavior. Documentation across language bindings and guides describes repeated availability and the end of tracks from prior sessions. Quest documents separate sink and OBS restart plans.

The follower remembered the instance it handed out last as a full handle, so it kept that instance's front from retiring after the caller let go, and after an end it skipped the same instance coming back: a route above the path with the same epoch carries the front on, while the cursor reports the switch as an end and a start, a gap that ended every request on the old route. Remember the handle only while the caller holds it (a Weak in moq-ffi, the handle id in moq-c), and forget it at an end. Forgetting at an end alone would deliver an instance twice when an end and its start land while resolving, so when changes arrive while resolving, the path is resolved afresh once caught up. The available() doc now says the old instance's tracks end with an error unless this side closed its session. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Document both causes of terminal 0.
The C API also sends terminal 0 when the origin closes after it delivered a handle. The phrase “only on cancel” gives callers the wrong terminal-code contract. Include origin closure in this sentence.

Tell callers when to free the final handle.
If the wait ends without a successor, the instruction to free a handle “once its successor arrives” never applies to the last handle. State that callers must also free the last positive handle when they finish using it, including after cancellation or terminal origin closure.

moq-net gets the Rust equivalent of JS request(path, { announced: true }),

Add `origin::Consumer::announced_broadcast(path, epoch)`, the Rust form of
JS `request(path, { announced: true })`. Its `available()` hands out each
publisher instance serving the path, owning the follow loop moq-ffi and
moq-c carried since #5700: an end forgets the last instance, the last
instance is held weakly, and a change while resolving resolves afresh.
A pinned epoch refuses any other instance.
moq-ffi's `MoqAnnouncedBroadcast::available()` and moq-c's
`moq_origin_announced_broadcast` now use it, with no binding API change.

Implements restart followers: first-party consumers that resolve a broadcast and keep reading now notice an epochless
Restart, from a GOAWAY drain or a publisher replacement. Before this, the bindings could only hand out the first instance.Changes
MoqAnnouncedBroadcast::available()resolves the next publisher instance on each call. The first call works as before. Later calls wait for a restart, or for the broadcast to come back after an end. Python, Go, Swift, Kotlin, Dart and C++ all forward to it, so only their docs change.moq_origin_announced_broadcastcalls back with a fresh broadcast handle for each instance. Its terminal callback now comes only on cancel, on an error, or when the origin closes. The interop C client frees the handles it doesn't read.moq export: no source change. A route change alone is never fatal: the export stays on the old instance while its publisher serves it, and once that route dies its tracks end with an error, which already fails the export. Now pinned by a test.origin.request(path, { announced: true })already follows restart, end and a later start (js/net/src/origin-request.test.ts). The js-native subscriber reads one frame through it, as the Go, Python and C++ interop subscribers do, so none of them needs to follow.restart-followersis deleted. The remaining work is split into sink restart follow (hls, rtmp, srt, rtc, archive, transcode) and OBS restart follow. Both state the same rule: a sink that cannot follow stays on the old instance and fails once that route dies.export-rendition-rebindis unchanged: its "end loudly" premise is about a catalog rebind inside one instance, not a replacement.Public API and wire impact

Codex reviewed 3377d14 with two findings on the follow loops (forget the last instance at an end, and hold it weakly), both fixed in 0f396d7 with the regression tests above. A local Codex adversarial review of 0f396d7 approved it with no findings. The final head, 5299967, only merges
