Track consumers now see the source's own error on every end path. Dropped only means a producer was dropped without an end, and it goes out as Internal so a real bug stays visible.

Changes

  • Fronts (model/front.rs): a lost route (selected(None), retraction, a dead source) ends pending requests with Unroutable. A local origin ending with Retired uses Cancel, and one ending with Closed uses Closed. source_closed no longer invents Dropped, and the last_err plumbing is gone.
  • Resume (model/resume.rs): a concluded track with no serving copy ends Unroutable, and copy errors pass through unchanged.
  • Wire conversions (error.rs): both From<&Error> catch-alls are gone, so every variant has a real arm.
    • On a stream, Session(_), Transport(_) and IdleTimeout map to UNROUTABLE, except a session app code, which keeps its code. The stream outlived the session that failed, so that session was the upstream route. Local readers still see the session error, as the fix(net): end a track with its session's error when the session dies #4120 test requires.
    • TooManyRequests and Duplicate map to SESSION_CLOSED.
    • Dropped maps to Internal in both registries, deliberately.
  • ts::Follower no longer matches errors. While lingering, announcements decide:
    • A resolve error returns it to waiting.
    • A new announcement cancels an in-flight resolve. A route update of the same instance does not.
    • A stitch from a live export keeps its linger bound when it re-resolves another replacement.
    • At linger expiry it fails with the last resolve error, otherwise with the original end.
    • This fixes moq export ts --stitch --linger exiting on internal error, which happened when a catalog request landed on a dying session.
  • Revocation:
    • Rust IETF PUBLISH_DONE sends UNAUTHORIZED for a bridged Stream(Unauthorized), alongside the expired-token arm from fix(auth): distinguish expired credentials #5641.
    • The JS IETF publisher does the same, including a bridged session Expired, matching Rust.
    • The JS IETF subscriber reads UNAUTHORIZED as the shared unauthorized(broadcast) stream error.
    • JS toStreamCode maps a SessionError, or a session that failed at the transport, to Unroutable, keeping an app code, matching Rust.
  • Bindings: py, Go, Swift and Kotlin is_auth now document track revocation, and py and Go test a stream-scoped Unauthorized.
  • Docs:
    • doc/bin/cli.md describes the linger behavior.
    • The moq-lite draft extends the UNROUTABLE meaning, says a relay SHOULD send it when the upstream session ends, and adds a changelog line.
  • Deletes the finished quest file.

Tests

  • New rs/moq-net/tests/integration/source_errors.rs runs lite-05, lite-06 and lite-07 through publisher, relay and far end:
    • A request in flight to an upstream that dies ends Unroutable. It was Dropped before.
    • A track in flight through a dead upstream ends Unroutable. It was Internal before.
    • A withdrawn broadcast keeps the source error (App(7)).
    • A subscribe after withdrawal ends Unroutable.
  • Three follower tests fail on the old code: a refused return keeps lingering, a refusal surfaces at linger expiry, and route updates during a stitch neither restart its resolve nor extend its bound.
  • Unit tests cover the conversions, front ends and PUBLISH_DONE status. JS tests cover PUBLISH_DONE in both directions (including a bridged expired token) and the Writer.reset mapping.

Public API and wire impact

  • Public API: no signatures change, but the error values consumers observe do.
  • Wire: the formats are unchanged; only which existing codes get emitted changes.
    • Upstream session or transport loss under a stream: 0x36 UNROUTABLE instead of 0x0.
    • Duplicate and TooManyRequests: SESSION_CLOSED instead of 0x0.
    • IETF: PUBLISH_DONE UNAUTHORIZED for bridged revocations and expired tokens.

Decisions

  1. Where session and transport loss become Unroutable.
  2. A received SESSION_CLOSED.
    • ✅ Relays verbatim, preserving the hop invariant.
    • Rewritten to Unroutable at each relay.
  3. How Event::Closed ends a front (the quest said Cancel).
  4. A live (non-lingering) stitch whose resolve fails.
    • ✅ Fails loud.
    • Waits for the next announcement like a lingering return.
  5. IETF PUBLISH_DONE cannot carry Unroutable or App.
    • ✅ Keep those relay tests lite-only.
    • Extend the IETF registry, a wire change out of scope here.

Follow-ups

  • moq_net::Error::SessionClosed is never constructed in moq-net. Recommend a small cleanup quest to delete it.
  • moq-gst a_refused_redial_posts_a_bus_error_after_playback rebinds a just-released loopback port and flaked once locally with AddrInUse. Recommend a small quest to stop reusing the port.
  • TS validation's "TS full multiplex at its own rate" failed here with a 96 ms MP2 hole at the join. It is not this PR: the same step fails the same way on unrelated PRs (e.g. test(mux): reproduce the live export's burst loss over a session #5857 and a nix pin bump), and the hole is in moq_mux::container::source, not the follower. Tracked by TS MP2 join hole.

Closes #5347

#5689 merged: moq-net, moq-relay, moq-tokio, and moq-uring now link their integration tests into one binary under tests/integration/. When you rebase, move rs/moq-net/tests/source_errors.rs into that crate's tests/integration/ and add a mod line to its main.rs. Until then it fails to compile, because mod support; now lives under integration/.

A front no longer invents Dropped: a lost route ends Unroutable, a retired
or closed origin ends Cancel or Closed. The wire conversions lose their
catch-alls; an upstream session or transport failure under a stream goes
out as UNROUTABLE, and Dropped stays Internal to mark a real bug.

ts::Follower stops matching errors: announcements decide whether a
lingering broadcast returned, and the linger expiry reports the last
resolve error, so `moq export ts --stitch --linger` no longer exits on a
catalog request routed through a dying session.

IETF PUBLISH_DONE carries a bridged revocation as UNAUTHORIZED in Rust and
JS, and the JS subscriber reads it as the shared Unauthorized stream error.
The bindings document and test is_auth for a stream-scoped revocation.

Closes #5347

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Matches the Rust IETF publisher, which reports an expired token as no
longer granted since PUBLISH_DONE's EXPIRED means the subscription's own
lifetime ran out.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
App codes share the 64+ range in both registries, so a relayed upstream
session close with an app code reaches the stream as that code, matching
the Rust conversion, rather than UNROUTABLE.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A connection reaching its idle deadline is the same route loss as any
other transport failure: Unroutable on a relayed stream, Internal as a
session code.

Walkthrough

The changes revise Rust and TypeScript error mappings for route and session failures, and update Rust route lifecycle outcomes. The TypeScript follower now waits for announcements after a return-resolution failure and reports the saved error if linger expires. Tests cover replacement broadcasts and relayed source errors. Publisher and subscriber code handles unauthorized completion status, and authentication documentation includes track revocation.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to da07a

The implementation is not shown to fail, but the route-loss tests could miss a downstream connection failure, and the changelog could mislead readers. Tighten both before relying on them.

Explanation

Issue #5347 requires the lingering TS follower to avoid exiting on a refused return from a dying publisher and to cover an in-flight upstream failure. rs/moq-mux/src/container/ts/follower.rs now retains resolve errors until a new announcement or linger expiry. rs/moq-mux/src/container/ts/export_test.rs covers refused returns, linger expiry, and route updates. rs/moq-net/tests/integration/source_errors.rs, registered in main.rs, covers an in-flight request through a dead upstream and expects Unroutable.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within the current source-error and revocation intent. Front, resume, wire conversion, follower, IETF, binding, documentation, and quest changes address error preservation, route-loss reporting, or authentication-error reporting. The added tests validate these behaviors. No demonstrated unrelated change requires exclusion.

An announce Update is the same instance over another route, so it no
longer cancels an in-flight resolve or clears a refused return. A stitch
that re-resolves after a real announcement keeps its original deadline,
so repeated replacements cannot extend the linger bound.

for the far-end readers in request_in_flight_to_a_dead_upstream_is_unroutable

A session that failed at the transport carries no close code, so JS saw
the raw session-sourced error and reset with INTERNAL_ERROR where Rust's
Transport and IdleTimeout reset with UNROUTABLE. The source_errors check
no longer lets a far end's own session failure pass as Unroutable, and
the draft changelog attaches UNROUTABLE to the reset.

Merging at 4a558b7: main merged with two one-line resolutions (quest/m1/README.md, the integration test module list), so Codex's +1 on d66245e still covers it. CI fully green; just check, just test interop --all and just drafts check pass. The TS validation hole seen on this PR is main's mp2 join flake (quest/m1/test-flakes-2/ts-mp2-join-hole.md), reproduced on unrelated PRs.
