Summary

A routed (resumed) subscriber now reports what its serving copy gave up, in both JS and Rust, so a lite publisher serving a routed track forwards SUBSCRIBE_DROP. Before, JS resume.ts read every copy without dispositions, so an upstream SUBSCRIBE_DROP, a cut, or a budget skip on a copy was swallowed. A downstream lite peer then kept waiting on groups that never arrive.

JS (js/net)

  • track.ts: the drop half of the dispositions read is split out as #tryDrop and exposed as hooks.tryDrop. Groups are still taken the plain way, so a buffered failed group still goes through Recover. From the first tryDrop on, budget skips taken without dispositions are kept for it.
  • resume.ts: Reader.tryGroup takes dispositions. It drains the serving copy's drops, holds them while needed, and reports one run per read. Reader.tryDrop is the drop-only half, so a front serving another front's broadcast forwards the inner front's drops.
  • delivered.ts: adds addRun and gaps. add now uses addRun.

Rust (rs/moq-net)

  • model/resume.rs: Reader::poll_drop holds the serving copy's drops in a RangeMap instead of forwarding them straight away. It applies the same hold-back and route-failure rules as JS and reports each run once.
  • model/delivered.rs: adds gaps.
  • model/track.rs: passes the subscriber's delivered record to the resume reader's poll_drop.

Closes the quest quest/m1/resume-drops.md (deleted here).

Choices made

  1. Which copy reports drops: only the serving copy, in both languages. A route change discards drops the former serving copy had not reported yet, including ones held back below, so a former route's verdict never suppresses a group the next route delivers.
  2. A group another copy may still deliver is not a drop yet: a run held by a replaced copy waits while that copy still feeds it. That means the run is inside [floor, bound), the copy has not run out, and it is within the reader's budget. Anything that copy delivers meanwhile is not reported.
  3. A route-failure drop is not forwarded. The codes are those routeFailed / route_failed match, such as Internal, Cancel, SessionClosed, GoingAway and ControlTimeout. A non-hole group failure also lands in the track's drops, so forwarding it would win against the buffered failed group, which Recover could otherwise continue from another copy or a FETCH. One gap remains: if an upstream relay forwards a drop with one of these codes for a group that never arrived, the routed reader reports it only through the end sweep.
  4. JS only: a reported run counts as delivered, so no copy serves it later. Rust does not do this; see Decisions.

The JS IETF publisher never reports drops, routed or not, so only lite forwards them.

Decisions

  • Rust and JS disagree on whether a reported drop is final. JS records the run as delivered, so a later copy never serves it. This matches the JS direct path, which never serves a group re-created under a reported drop. Rust cannot do the same within the drop path. A Rust plain cursor reports a fill it gave up on (a miss) as NotFound, and the group may still land and be served afterward. Recording the run as delivered on the resume path broke rejoin::rejoined_quiet_catalog_survives_cache_expiry: the relay reported group 0 as a miss, then the late reader never got the catalog.
    1. ✅ Keep the divergence. Each language's resume path matches its own plain cursor. The follow-up quest quest/m1/resume-drop-final.md, planned in quest: record pre-cut follow-ups from the quest-spawn run #6790, decides whether a reported drop is final in both languages.
    2. Drop the JS "counts as delivered" rule now, to match Rust. JS would then need its own report-once bookkeeping, and its resume path would disagree with its direct path.
    3. Make Rust drops final in this PR. That redesigns how misses are reported in track.rs, outside the drop path and outside this quest.

Impact

  • Public API: none (package-internal hooks and pub(super) Rust items). Behavior: a lite publisher serving a routed track forwards SUBSCRIBE_DROP. In Rust, such drops are now held back or skipped as described above.
  • Wire: none.

Tests

  • JS resume.test.ts:
    • the serving copy's drop is reported once and never served after;
    • a route-failure drop is not reported;
    • a budget skip is reported;
    • a drop waits while the replaced copy may deliver it;
    • a drop a replaced route held back is not reported against the route serving next;
    • a front serving another front reports the inner serving route's drop.
  • JS lite/publisher.test.ts: lite-06 and lite-07 publishers serving a front's broadcast forward the serving route's drop. This timed out before the fix.
  • Rust model/resume.rs: a_resumed_reader_reports_what_its_serving_copy_gives_up (route failure skipped, drop reported once), a_drop_waits_while_a_replaced_copy_may_still_deliver_it and a_drop_a_replaced_route_held_back_is_no_verdict_on_the_next. Each failed before its fix.
  • delivered unit tests in both languages.
  • just check passes, including all 8863 Rust tests and the full js/net suite.

Quest-Claim: ec52eb94cd763403
A routed (resumed) track.Subscriber read with dispositions now reports what
its serving copy gave up (upstream SUBSCRIBE_DROP, cuts, budget skips) as a
`drop`, so the lite publisher forwards SUBSCRIBE_DROP for a routed track.

- Only the serving copy's verdicts count, as in Rust.
- A route-failure drop is no verdict; a buffered failed group still goes
  through its recovery.
- A run a replaced copy may still deliver under its bound waits until that
  copy no longer feeds.
- A reported run joins the subscriber's delivered record, so no copy serves it
  later.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 7213b

Resumed readers can hold and repeatedly scan an unbounded number of peer-supplied drop runs while a replaced route is still able to deliver. Consider bounding pending drops before merge or explicitly accepting the risk. The rest of the change looks sound.

Reviewed commit: e9409cb

  • P2: Held drops must belong to the serving generation. I corroborate the existing finding: #6758 (comment). After B's drop waits behind A, replacing B with C leaves B's verdict queued. Once A/B stop feeding, it can suppress content C could still supply. Discard deferred verdicts when their serving generation changes.
  • P2: Forward drop-only polling through nested resumed subscribers (js/net/src/track.ts:2473–2481, called by resume.ts:585). The new #tryDrop reads only local state, never #resume. If an outer Front serves an inner Front's consumer, its serving subscriber has an empty shell drop ledger, while normal take calls the inner reader with dispositions disabled. Upstream drops remain invisible through this second routing layer. Add a resume-aware drop-only operation and a two-front regression. This is an incomplete case of the propagation fix, not a regression in ordinary group delivery.

Direction: the serving-copy policy and delivered-run accounting are sensible, but verdict lifetime and composition need tightening.

Verification: static review of the patch and surrounding routing, subscriber, delivery and lifecycle code. No tests or interoperability scenarios executed.

The Rust resume reader's poll_drop now matches the JS reader on two points:
a run a replaced copy may still deliver under its bound waits until that
copy no longer feeds, and a route-failure drop is not forwarded. Each run
is reported once.

A reported run is not recorded as delivered, unlike JS: in Rust a drop is
not final (a fill given up reports NotFound, then the group may still land
and be served), and recording it broke
rejoin::rejoined_quiet_catalog_survives_cache_expiry.

Comment thread js/net/src/track.ts
…nested fronts

A run the former serving copy gave up, held back while a replaced copy might
still deliver it, is no verdict on the route serving next: discard it on a
route change, in JS and Rust. A JS front serving another front now reads the
inner front's drops instead of the outer shell's empty state.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 7213be8

Both findings from #6758 (review) are addressed:

  • JS and Rust clear deferred drops when serving generation changes, with replacement-route regression coverage.
  • JS drop-only reads delegate through resumed subscribers and account reported runs, with a two-front regression.

No new actionable bugs found since e9409cb, including Rust’s new drop holdback/filtering. The fixes are appropriately scoped; keeping Rust’s non-final miss behavior rather than redesigning it here is reasonable. Documented JS/Rust finality divergence remains follow-up work.

Verification: static review of both intervening commits, relevant routing/subscriber/delivered code and regression tests. No builds, tests or interoperability scenarios executed.

Landing summary:

  • Maintainer decision: option 1, keep the Rust/JS divergence on whether a reported drop is final; each language's resume path matches its own plain cursor. Settled later by quest/m1/resume-drop-final.md, planned in quest: record pre-cut follow-ups from the quest-spawn run #6790.
  • Review fixes in 7213be8a35: a route change discards held drops (JS and Rust), and a JS front serving another front forwards the inner front's drops through a new drop-only ResumeSource.tryDrop. Regression tests failed before each fix.
  • just check passes locally (8863 Rust tests, full js/net suite). Codex 👍 and the OpenAI review found nothing new on 7213be8.

Replace the timer-based waits in the new test.

settle() awaits setTimeout(resolve, 0), so this route-replacement test depends on wall-clock scheduling. The file uses this helper extensively, but that established pattern does not satisfy the explicit unit-test timing guideline. Replace these waits with an observable route-transition completion or another deterministic async test helper. A manual clock alone does not replace event-loop settling, since nearby manual-clock tests also call settle().

This is a minor test-maintainability issue, not a major production-impact issue.

Bound held drops from the serving copy.

If a replaced copy can still feed, each disjoint drop from the serving copy remains in Reader.#drops. The new tryDrop path drains every available drop, then scans the growing list on later reads. A peer that continues sending drops while the replaced copy remains live can make each reader retain and repeatedly scan an unbounded number of runs. Bound this work through flow control or ownership of pending dispositions, without discarding a verdict that may become reportable. As per coding guidelines, “Treat anything received over the network as untrusted” and “bound that cost by design (backpressure, flow control, ownership).”

Maintainer decision (2026-10-25): a reported drop is not final. A group that arrives later is still served, so JS changes to match Rust (tracked as resume-drop-final in moq-dev/moq#6790). This PR's "JS counts a reported run as delivered" should not become the rule.
