Plans the second batch of follow-ups from the 2026-10-27 /quest-complete pass through /quest-plan.

New quests

• m0: Runner VM test under load. github-runner-vm dropped moq-dev/moq#6934 from the queue, and CI kept too little log to name the failing subtest.
• m1: Settled copies versus whole groups, an audit of every "is the group done" check, after three review rounds on moq-dev/moq#6922 each fixed one site.
• m1: An HLS viewer starts capture, from moq-dev/moq#6937.
• m2: Replaced producers retire their records, from moq-dev/moq#6937.

Edits

• quest/m1/container-backpressure.md: the budget charges per-sample and per-group overhead, and the oldest group keeps moving.
• quest/m1/ts-reliability/stitch-catch-up.md: the switch test also checks output order.

Both come from the review of moq-dev/moq#6944.

Not planned

• The JS SETUP refusal flake: moq-dev/moq#6997 already plans it, and the evidence from this pass went there as a comment.
• More exclude tests: the existing tests already cover discovery, every request path and mounts.

Walkthrough

This PR adds and updates quest documentation across the m0, m1, and m2 milestones. The documents describe test plans, completion checks, demand handling, backpressure requirements, repeated-switch expectations, and producer record retirement. The milestone readmes add required quest entries.

Priority: Low

Merge Risk: Low · up to 3cd99

This PR only adds planning documents, so nothing changes at runtime. Before the producer-retire and container-backpressure quests are implemented, their plans should be corrected: the retirement API visibility and same-name safety, and a bufferbloat case in the backpressure test.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 7f47b19

No actionable bugs found in this planning-only change. The direction is sound: audit completion semantics together rather than replacing every is_finished mechanically; propagate HLS record demand at the shared producer layer rather than adding a CLI-only workaround; and retire only permanently abandoned, owner-minted names. The added overhead accounting, oldest-group progress and repeated-switch ordering requirements capture the earlier design guardrails without adding a new mechanism.

Implementation guardrails: record demand should disappear when its last subscriber leaves, and retirement must follow both final-frame flushing and recorder release (Tracks::retire rejects a live recorder). These are follow-up acceptance details, not fixes delivered by this PR. The runner contention explanation remains a hypothesis until full failure logs identify the subtest.

Verification: inspected all nine changed quest files and relevant HLS retirement/capture context through GitHub. No tests or quest check run; this does not verify the planned runtime fixes.

[kixelated]

Folded the two implementation guardrails from the automated review into the quests in 3cd9946: hls-record-demand now says the demand ends when the record track's last subscriber leaves, and producer-retire says to retire only after the recorder is released, since Tracks::retire errors on a live recorder (rs/moq-mux/src/hls.rs). The runner-vm contention cause stays framed as "probably" in the quest, with the first step being full logs.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 3cd9946

No actionable bugs found in the update since the previous review. Both prior implementation guardrails are now explicit plan requirements: quest/m1/hls-record-demand.md:19–22 ends demand when the last record subscriber leaves, and quest/m2/producer-retire.md:15–18 releases the recorder before retirement. This is the right narrow clarification, with no additional mechanism needed.

These address the planning feedback, not the underlying runtime issues; the implementation and regression tests remain future work. Verification: compared the one-commit, two-file delta against the previously reviewed head (base unchanged), and rechecked current head/state/reviews. Static review only; no tests or quest check run.

[kixelated]

Landing summary: Codex reviewed 7f47b19 with no findings, and the OpenAI review found no actionable bugs. Its two implementation guardrails were folded into hls-record-demand and producer-retire in 3cd9946, which the follow-up review confirmed. quest check --base origin/main passes on 3cd9946 (615 documents). Merge approved by the maintainer; landing 3cd9946 through the queue.

Add a bufferbloat case to the completion test.

The planned checks cover packed frames and many groups, but they do not impair a network. They therefore test local consumer accounting only. They cannot prove that a full budget stops reads and applies pressure through the net cache and QUIC flow control.

Add these cases behind a link with a rate below the media bitrate, a deep finite queue, and overflow drops. Assert the resulting backpressure behavior.

Suggested completion-test update

- Test a publisher that packs many frames into one timestamp, and one that
- opens many groups: memory stays near the budget and playback still skips
- to the live edge.
+ Test those publishers through a bufferbloat link with a rate below the media
+ bitrate, a deep finite queue, and overflow drops. Assert that memory stays
+ near the budget, playback still skips to the live edge, and a full budget
+ applies pressure through the net cache and QUIC flow control.

Keep the Required entry consistent with the child quest.

The child quest requires the full log of the failing derivation. This entry says that every failed flake check prints its full log. Use the narrower wording so the Required list does not overstate the acceptance criteria. (github.com)

Proposed wording

-- [Runner VM test under load](/quest/m0/test-flakes-2/runner-vm.md) - the runner VM check passes when it rebuilds in a merge group, and a failed flake check prints its full log

Rewrite this as Every model-level check in moq-net that asks whether a group is done .... The current wording triggers the grammar check and is less direct.

- Around line 16-19: Revise the producer retirement plan so `moq-audio`,
`moq-video`, `moq-ffi`, and `moq-c` do not call the crate-private
`Producer::retire` directly; route retirement through an existing public
`moq-mux` lifecycle path, or explicitly document and approve changing its
visibility and the resulting public API impact.
- Around line 20-22: Update the retirement plan around “retire” so it identifies
a specific name generation or owner, preventing stale cleanup from removing a
newer producer’s record track. Preserve continued record numbering when a name
is reused, and include an out-of-order cleanup test that verifies repeated
replacement keeps record tracks flat.

On the CodeRabbit nitpick for container-backpressure.md (add a bufferbloat link to the completion test): declining. The bound is the consumer's decoded-frame budget against a hostile publisher, which a local test with packed frames and many groups exercises directly; a rate-limited link changes arrival timing, not how much the consumer holds once data is in the net cache. Pressure reaching the net cache already rides on the pool's existing bound.
