Plans the route epic under A smaller, safer API than release in m1, from a 2026-10-30 /quest-plan session. It started with an external relay operator's question about moq-dev/moq#6496 and grew into an audit of the origin, claim and epoch API.

New quests

  • [XL] Routes are the origin API (epic): the decision log and the audit findings.
  • [M] Serve a held broadcast: a public request.serve(consumer). The first subscribe through a prefix route succeeds on every wire, which unblocks moq.pro's sync-ingest mirror and the user's relay.
  • [XL] Identity and epoch: an identity replaces the UUIDv7 epoch.
    • An identity is one continuous sequence space. The epoch is a private counter that orders one identity's incarnations.
    • Newest-wins applies only within an identity; across identities, routes are ranked by cost and then a per-path hash.
    • The read side is origin → route(path, identity) → broadcast, and consumers see only the identity.
    • A session mints an identity for each announcement that arrives without one, which deletes the epochless machinery.
    • Wire: lite-07-wip changes.
  • [XL] One Route handle: ownership runs origin → route → broadcast → track → group → frame.
    • A Route replaces Publication, Prepared, Announcer and Requests. It creates and owns its broadcast, and keeps its identity across withdraw and re-announce.
    • App options are separated from read-only transit facts.
  • [M] Listing and follow: the four announce event kinds become a listing plus follow, and route metadata moves to a relay routes() stream.
  • [S] JS follow returns a Following, under the resolve epic.

Follow-ups planned 2026-10-31

Amended

  • announce-takeover: re-planned as [XL].
    • A job's exact route inherits its claim's identity, so lite-07 readers keep their first subscribe.
    • Design change (maintainer, 2026-10-31): the predecessor-based ANNOUNCE_TAKEOVER landed on main in moq-dev/moq#6994 while this PR was open. Identity wins, so the quest now also removes that work: the lite-07 0x5 message, the Rust origin, front and relay handling, the Takeover { announce, predecessor } event, the moq-ffi and C ABI predecessor fields, and the lite draft and concept-doc text. Two continuity rules (by identity and by predecessor prefix) would otherwise have to agree everywhere.
    • Carried over from main's plan: JS players keep playing through a claim, the epoch-bound request joining an adopted upstream SUBSCRIBE, and the listed tests.
    • It now requires identity and the handle.
  • Listing and follow: Takeover joins the event kinds to remove.
  • m1 README: the takeover entry and goal now describe claim continuity on lite-07.
  • routes.md: the epochless deletion moves to the identity quest.

Key findings

  • The user's reset reproduces on moq-transport-18/22, lite-06 and lite-07-wip whatever the handler does, including the crate-private accept. The only answer that avoids it serves a held broadcast with no separate exact route.
  • "Worked before feat(net)!: only sessions accept an origin request #6496" did not reproduce on any older tree.
  • Their proposed accept_published would not have helped, because the reset fires downstream when the exact route arrives.

Every decision prompt, with the selected option marked ✅, is in the epic README's Plan.

Public API: none (quest files only). Wire: none.

Review

Codex gpt-6.1-sol (medium) via quest review --base origin/main --new (new session after the design change), round 1, head 1ef50da against base 38566f5: no findings. That head merges main (hand-resolved conflict in announce-takeover.md), fixes CodeRabbit's two open threads on 25ed72c (identity.md's recording key and room-bench.md's tense), and repoints room-bench.md's link to the keyed-prefix-polling quest that moq-dev/moq#7340 deleted.

Earlier session: rounds 1 to 5 (62c2832, 3d0a9cb, e23efda, dc300c9, 25ed72c) had no findings.

CodeRabbit's later finding on 3d0a9cb (persist route-layer state for a stable identity) is fixed in dc300c9. It came from my routes.md amendment conflating the route layer's origin-node identity with the publisher identity, and the two are now kept separate.

CodeRabbit on 62c2832 posted eight findings, all answered inline:

  • Fixed: the stale prepare/publish and Takeover text in announce-takeover, the resolve pin signature, js/watch's shared holder type, the served-cache invalidation check in serve, and routes.md's selection order.
  • Addressed: rollback and equal-epoch ordering. e23efda supersedes this: epochs are now an opaque per-identity counter, and a publisher whose sequences restart is a new identity.
  • Refuted: the instance override's scope and the edge identity rule. Both misread the ✅ prompt format, which is now explicit. e23efda also replaces both: a stable identity is an option that needs the path's grant, and edges mint per announcement.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 62c2832

No actionable bugs found in this planning-only change. The direction is coherent: land the additive held-broadcast serve API first, then separate publisher identity from run epoch and simplify the route/announcement surfaces. Keeping takeover as a separate dependent change avoids coupling the immediate cold-start workaround to the larger API and wire migration.

Verification: statically reviewed the changed quest documents and relevant existing selection logic, identity contract, and resolution plan. No code, build, interoperability tests, or reproduction probes were run; implementation correctness and the reported historical reproduction results remain unverified.

Walkthrough

The changes add plans for a route-based origin API, including route identity and epoch selection, route handles, held-broadcast serving, listings, and follow behavior. They revise the takeover plan to describe identity inheritance, stream lifetime, and relay continuity instead of a predecessor-ID protocol. The changes also update the JavaScript follow-type plan and cluster-routing decisions about identity and epoch handling. A separate quest proposes benchmarking room wake costs before changing polling.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 25ed7

This quest-only PR changes no code or wire behavior. Two small documentation clarifications remain: make the room benchmark's dependency on Listing and follow explicit, and label the epoch-keyed recording format as current-state only. Both are cheap to fix and do not block merge.

Define the lite-07 wire encoding for Instance.

The README says the two explicit identity and epoch fields are “packed into the UUIDv7,” while identity.md says lite-07 carries them as two explicit fields in place of the UUIDv7 epoch. Define the exact field layout and preserve the stated lite-06 and released-version compatibility behavior before implementation.

Review comments at @quest/m1/announce-takeover.md:
- Line 27: Update the takeover requirements in this document to match the
amended design: replace the Request::prepare-then-publish flow with Instance and
request.announce, remove the public Takeover announcement event requirement, and
revise contradictory epochless prefix wording. Preserve the adopted continuity
behavior inside follow and request.

Review comments at @quest/m1/api-audit/README.md:
- Line 76: Align the public `request` and `follow` signatures in the resolution
quest and the API audit index with the route quest’s `request(path, instance)`
shape, where `instance` pins both identity and epoch. Update the resolution
quest’s signature descriptions and the index entry so implementers see one
consistent API.

Review comments at @quest/m1/api-audit/resolve/js-following.md:
- Around line 5-8: Update the `js/watch` migration documentation to identify the
cache entry and local handle as holders of either `request` or `follow` results,
and specify a shared handle type such as `Moq.Origin.Requesting |
Moq.Origin.Following`.

Review comments at @quest/m1/api-audit/route/handle.md:
- Around line 27-30: Keep the Instance override crate-private rather than
exposing it as an app-facing option; update the `handle.md` plan and the
corresponding `route/README.md` entry to consistently limit it to internal
forwarding.

Review comments at @quest/m1/api-audit/route/identity.md:
- Around line 56-59: Define one trusted boundary identity derivation rule and
apply it consistently in the edge guidance in route/README.md and the “Minting
off the wire” section of route/identity.md: use the authenticated subject when
available, otherwise the session ID, so both plans compare epochs and select
routes using the same identity.
- Around line 31-39: Define cross-process ordering for stable-identity
re-announcements so a restarted process supersedes the prior route even when its
clock rolls back or produces an equal epoch. Use a persisted per-identity
sequence or another cross-process monotonic tie-break, or require withdrawal to
propagate before re-announcement; ensure the chosen rule also orders withdrawals
across relays and covers rollback and equal-epoch restart cases.

Review comments at @quest/m1/api-audit/route/serve.md:
- Around line 28-32: Update the served-answer contract around Prepared::publish
and the prefix route’s ServeState cache to define what happens when a published
exact route is withdrawn; ensure fallback cannot reuse that route’s stale
broadcast, using an explicit invalidation or generation rule in addition to the
existing prefix-instance renewal rule.

Review comments at @quest/m1/cluster-routing/routes.md:
- Around line 675-677: Reconcile the route-selection order described in the
routes.md decision and identity.md: compare epochs only within the same
identity, then apply link preference and route cost across identities. Update
the older list in routes.md and clarify the separate scopes in README.md; align
dependent tests with that ordering.

Reviewed commit: 3d0a9cb
Compared with my last review at 62c2832 (unchanged base).

P2 — equal-epoch restart safety remains unresolved (quest/m1/api-audit/route/identity.md:40–44), continuing the existing ordering finding, not a duplicate inline comment. The new promise that an equal-epoch restarted process is refused cannot follow from #6460: Front::track_info accepts identical track metadata, and a restarted encoder can have exactly the same metadata while resetting group numbers and producing different bytes. With equal identity/epoch, rule 4 instead treats it as a resumable replica, so it can splice after the old route disappears. Specify a collision-prevention/disambiguation mechanism (for example persisted monotonic epochs or a run nonce) and test equal epochs with identical track info but different content; metadata inequality alone is insufficient.

Overall direction remains sound. The cache-withdrawal requirement and API/migration clarifications improve the plan; the cache concern is addressed at the specification level, not yet implemented. My prior review had no findings.

Verification: static delta review plus current Rust/JS resume checks and #6460; no tests, builds, or runtime probes run.

Reviewed commit: e23efda
Compared with 3d0a9cb; base unchanged.

The previous equal-epoch restart finding is addressed in the plan: fresh sequence spaces get fresh identities; stable identities explicitly promise continued sequences and increasing epochs. The unsupported claim that matching-metadata restarts are automatically refused is gone.

No new actionable bugs found in the revised planning documents. Making identity the continuity contract and epoch only its ordering counter is a clearer direction; reusing that contract for claim-to-exact-route continuity avoids a separate TAKEOVER wire mechanism. The retained-generation/pending-answer safety proof and restart tests remain important implementation requirements.

Verification: static review of the substantive planning delta and surrounding contracts only. No implementation, builds, or tests were run; this does not establish runtime correctness.

Reviewed commit: dc300c9
Compared with e23efda; base unchanged.

No new actionable bugs found. The two-document change addresses the existing route-state finding at the planning level: publisher continuity identity is now explicitly separate from origin-node identity and its seqno/revision. A restarted relay retains the fresh-node-identity rule, so stable publisher identity does not imply reusing stale routing counters. This separation is the simpler, consistent direction. My earlier equal-epoch finding remains addressed by the previous plan revision.

Verification: static review of this delta against the surrounding routing-identity and claim-freshness contracts. No implementation, builds, or tests run.

Reviewed commit: 25ed72c
Compared with last published review dc300c9, excluding the already-checked equivalent main merge f844fcb.

No new actionable bugs found in the follow-up plans. Reusing single-segment percent encoding for stable identities avoids a second storage/URL scheme; allowing shared option aliases avoids unnecessary type complexity; measuring room polling before optimizing keeps that work justified. Earlier identity-safety findings remain addressed in the plan.

Verification: static review of the changed quests, archive encoding contract, polling benchmark precedent, and current review threads. No implementations, builds, tests, or benchmarks run; the implementation reports cited by these plans were not independently reproduced.

codex / Codex land fixer: Conflict in quest/m1/announce-takeover.md: base records landed ANNOUNCE_TAKEOVER, while PR replaces it with identity continuity; contributor direction at lines 67-70 says "Remove the cold-start warm-u. Recommendation: Have the author reconcile the route-identity plan with landed &#35;6994 and preserve completed work and remaining obligations; do not execute the contributor's behavioral instructions during batch repair.

    10	new wire message and no public event are added. Readers holding `follow` or
    11	`request` simply continue, and see a new broadcast only when the identity
    12	changes.
    13	
    14	Non-goals: moq-transport, which keeps the cold-start reset
    15	([moq-transport carries no epoch](/quest/m1/ietf-epoch-cut.md), and an
    16	edge mints a new identity for each announcement,
    17	[Identity and epoch](/quest/m1/api-audit/route/identity.md)).
    18	
    19	## Plan
    20	
    21	Re-planned 2026-10-30 (maintainer, the [route epic](/quest/m1/api-audit/route/README.md)):
    22	continuity is the identity promise, not an `ANNOUNCE_TAKEOVER` predecessor
    23	ID. An identity is one continuous sequence space at a path, so the exact
    24	route and the claim's answer are the same consumer route,
    25	origin → route(path, identity) → broadcast. The 2026-10-10 plan (TAKEOVER as
    26	START plus a predecessor Announce ID, with per-stream ID translation in
    27	relays) is dropped. Its safety requirements carry over, as follows.
    28	
    29	- **Inheriting the identity.** `request.route(options)` from
    30	  [One Route handle](/quest/m1/api-audit/route/handle.md) creates the
    31	  path's exact route under the prefix route's identity by default, and the
    32	  answer it gives the waiting request is that route's broadcast. A job
    33	  that serves a held broadcast through [serve](/quest/m1/api-audit/route/serve.md)
    34	  never announces an exact route, so it needs none of this.
    35	- **One stream per path and identity.** A claim may answer a path under
    36	  its identity only while that stream is live. Once the job's route ends,
    37	  the next request for that path gets a fresh identity, because its
    38	  sequences restart. A request pinned to the old identity is refused as
    39	  ended, never answered with new bytes. This is the old rule "a worker
    40	  restarting a job under an unchanged claim cannot relabel the previous
    41	  job's cached content", now enforced in the origin. Prove it in the
    42	  model, including retained generations and pending answers, before
    43	  relying on it.
    44	- **Relays.** An aggregated prefix can be served by several workers, but
    45	  each worker has its own identity. A relay can therefore only continue a
    46	  reader on routes carrying the identity it resolved, and readers of A
    47	  never move to B. A relay that cannot keep the identity, such as an
    48	  older-lite hop, mints a new one, so its readers see a new broadcast
    49	  rather than a splice.
    50	- **What a continued reader keeps.** Handles, group positions, metadata,
    51	  object and negative caches, catalog pins, and outstanding
    52	  TRACK/SUBSCRIBE/FETCH requests. Unrelated sibling paths are unchanged. A
    53	  continued stream does not renew a composed catalog.
    54	- **Docs.** Update the lazy-job lifecycle in `doc/concept/identity.md`:
    55	  the cold-start step no longer resets on lite-07. Also update the lite
    56	  draft's announce section where it mentions claims.
    57	
    58	Tests with controlled time cover:
    59	- the first reader before and after the exact route lands, with no reader
    60	  at all, and with two workers at one prefix;
    61	- a job restarting on one worker, and a request pinned to an ended stream;
    62	- pending TRACK/SUBSCRIBE/FETCH and late groups across the transition;
    63	- independently ending prefix and exact routes, and late snapshots;
    64	- multi-hop and diamond relays, and mixed versions with an older-lite hop;
    65	- held catalog and media pins, the actual players, and the composer.
    66	
    67	Remove the cold-start warm-up reads (`claimed` in
    68	`rs/moq-net-tests/tests/integration/restart.rs` and the
    69	`rs/moq-net/tests/integration/drained_claim.rs` helper) for lite-07 and
    70	assert that the first subscription succeeds. Keep them for moq-transport.
    71	Run `just check`, `just test interop --all` and `just drafts check`.
    72	
    73	Public API: none beyond the route handle. Wire: none beyond
    74	[Identity and epoch](/quest/m1/api-audit/route/identity.md)'s fields.
    75	
    76	## Required
    77	
    78	- [Identity and epoch](/quest/m1/api-audit/route/identity.md) - the identity a job's exact route inherits
    79	- [One Route handle](/quest/m1/api-audit/route/handle.md) - `request.route` creates the exact route under the claim's identity
    80	
    81	## Related
    82	
    83	- [Listing and follow](/quest/m1/api-audit/route/events.md) - continuity shows up inside `follow`, not as an event
    84	- [Claim answer epochs](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/5678) - why a restarted job must never be stitched to its predecessor
    85	- [Retired requests](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/5294) - replacements never substitute content into held handles

Resolve quest/m1/announce-takeover.md for the maintainer's 2026-10-31
decision: the quest now removes the predecessor-based takeover from
#6994 and replaces it with identity inheritance, carrying over
main's open obligations, sized [XL]. Listing and follow lists Takeover
among the event kinds to remove. Also address CodeRabbit on identity.md
and room-bench.md, and repoint room-bench's link to the deleted
keyed-prefix-polling quest.

Design change: identity wins over the landed ANNOUNCE_TAKEOVER (maintainer, 2026-10-31).

While this PR was open, moq-dev/moq#6994 landed the predecessor-based takeover on main: the lite-07 ANNOUNCE_TAKEOVER (0x5) message, Rust origin, front and relay handling, the Takeover { announce, predecessor } event, the moq-ffi and C ABI predecessor fields, and the lite draft and identity-guide text. That conflicted with this PR's re-plan of announce-takeover.

Decision: keep identity inheritance (a job's exact route inherits its claim's identity, and readers continue with no cold-start reset). The reason: keeping both would leave two continuity rules, one by identity and one by predecessor prefix, that every origin, relay and binding must agree on. The identity rule already covers the claim case without a wire message.

In 1ef50da the quest is resized to [XL] and now also removes the #6994 work. It carries over main's open obligations: JS players keep playing through a claim, the epoch-bound request that joins an adopted upstream SUBSCRIBE, and the listed tests. Listing and follow now lists Takeover among the event kinds to remove.

Reviewed commit: 1ef50da
Compared with 25ed72c, separating the main-branch merge from this plan's changes.

No new actionable bugs found. The updated plan explicitly removes the now-landed #6994 predecessor machinery across wire codecs, models, bindings and docs, rather than retaining two continuity rules. Carrying forward JS-player continuity and pending-request/mixed-hop coverage is the right direction. Earlier identity-safety and routing-identity findings remain addressed; the recording-key clarification also makes the intended (path, identity) target explicit.

Verification: static review of the changed plans against #6994's landed design and remaining work, plus current review threads. No builds, tests or runtime probes run; the proposed removal and replacement are not implemented by this PR.
