Problem

A refused browser session can report WebTransportError: Connection lost. instead of code 2, unauthorized. The close task starts its 100 ms teardown grace when the capsule is only queued, so packet loss or a stalled socket can make QUIC discard it before delivery.

A Chromium reproduction gates server UDP writes at an auth refusal. Relay logs show the force-close with 23 packets dropped; Chromium netlog records the application CONNECTION_CLOSE and the page reports Connection lost without a local JavaScript close. The existing HTTP/3 stream-lifetime fix and MoQ's SETUP sessionCause fix are present.

Approach

Await the CONNECT stream's acknowledged DATA and FIN before starting the existing peer-teardown grace. A peer STOP or transport termination ends the wait; a cancellation regression verifies the close task releases its HTTP/3 state.

The socket-gated regression advances mocked time by one second and fails on the original implementation with closed before the capsule was acknowledged. After release it requires the exact remote code 2 and unauthorized reason. Both regressions run in the existing workspace CI suite.

Impact

  • Public API: unchanged; only the Tokio dev dependency enables mocked time.
  • Wire: unchanged framing and codes; the existing capsule is reliably delivered before connection teardown.
  • Fork: no n0-computer/noq PR, because web-transport-moq is a MoQ-owned adapter absent from that upstream.

Validation

Clean head c338ac9dd14d53219f8d4d1050984981a339cec4, base 9bd64bb302444ba1bb86d075a284449eef47afc0, using MoQ's pinned Nix toolchain:

  • Exact CI formatting options, workspace Clippy with warnings denied, and workspace docs with warnings denied passed.
  • Workspace nextest: 535 passed, 27 skipped by the repository's existing selection.
  • cargo publish --workspace --locked --dry-run passed; nothing was published.

Alternatives

Increasing the deadline cannot guarantee delivery. Retrying the test or accepting a connection error would hide loss of the authoritative refusal.

Follow-ups

Publish a release containing this fix, then adopt its compatible web-transport-moq pin in moq-dev/moq and validate full cross-language interop. Keep quest/m1/test-flakes-2/interop-close-code.md until that published adoption passes. Recommend a release backport for the broken browser interop; no API change is needed. The upstream web-transport adapters should adopt the same delivery invariant separately.

Local validation is complete on clean source head c338ac9dd14d53219f8d4d1050984981a339cec4 against base 9bd64bb302444ba1bb86d075a284449eef47afc0: formatting, workspace Clippy/docs, all 535 selected workspace tests, and publish dry-run passed.

MoQ's MOQ_STRICT=1 just test interop --all also passed with only this adapter source applied temporarily to its published 2.0.4 stack, on MoQ head 37b3fee against base 7decf5aa8d48d8fb273d9586572ca9b08cb4be69. This includes the exact Chromium code 2 / unauthorized refusal assertion, every data/denied-grant matrix lane, CLI FETCH and finite tails. The temporary patch and lockfile change have been removed; no package or pin was published or committed in MoQ.

The source change is ready for review. MoQ's existing close-code quest remains open until a published release containing this commit is adopted and validated. Recommend a separate release-condition/pin-adoption quest, then a release backport for the interop fix. Public API and wire framing/codes remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

The CONNECT close path now waits for the send stream’s stop result after finishing the close capsule. Tests add a gated UDP socket and verify capsule acknowledgment after the teardown grace period, as well as task release when the connection closes during the acknowledgment wait. The Tokio dev-dependency enables the test-util feature.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c338a

A peer that does not acknowledge the close capsule can leave session resources retained. Bound the acknowledgment wait before merging unless this risk is explicitly accepted.

Bound the CONNECT acknowledgment wait.

If a peer withholds acknowledgment of the CONNECT DATA or FIN but keeps the QUIC connection active, send.stopped().await remains pending. The teardown grace never starts, and the spawned task retains the session and its HTTP/3 state. QUIC activity can keep the idle timer from ending this wait. Add a separate, longer acknowledgment deadline that closes the connection if delivery cannot be confirmed. (docs.rs)
