quest(quic): split ECN into the uring fix, a study, and L4S - #3820
Conversation
The io_uring UDP path carries no IP_TOS/IPV6_TCLASS and never reads the mark back, so noq disables ECN on the first ACK. That fix needs no fork, so it becomes its own ready quest; the provider and fq_codel measurement follows it; only the Ect1 option and the ecn config knob wait on the fork.

It retitles and refocuses the backbone quest on L4S, ECT(1), configuration, and dualpi2 testing.

Add executable commands to the study procedure.
The document says that it contains the commands, but it only names netem, fq_codel, moq-bench, and tcpdump. Add the setup, capture, workload, and teardown commands so another operator can reproduce both runs.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Measure the sender response over time.
The stated question is whether marking reduces the rate before queue overflow. Queueing delay, aggregate goodput, and aggregate loss do not establish that ordering. Record the sending rate and CE or queue-depth time series, or define another observable that proves the rate reduction precedes overflow.

Clarify the default ECN mode.
The Goal says the option is off by default, but the Plan specifies ect0 as the default. State that ECT(1) is off by default while ECT(0) remains the default, or change the planned default. Otherwise implementers can choose different defaults.
Also applies to: 22-24

Summary
The io_uring UDP path (
rs/moq-uring/src/udp.rs) builds its own control messages and carries onlyUDP_SEGMENTon send andUDP_GROon receive: noIP_TOS/IPV6_TCLASSout, noIP_RECVTOS/IPV6_RECVTCLASSin, andTxBuf::sendhas no slot for the codepoint. On that path the peer never sees a mark, its ACKs carry no counts, and noq turns ECN off on the first ACK.noq-udpdoes it correctly.The old
ecn.mdblocked all of that on the noq fork, but only the ECT(1) option and theecn = off | ect0 | ect1knob need it (noq-proto 1.2 has no ECN knob or state at all). Split:quest/m2/quic/ecn-uring.md[S] - ready now onmain: mark on send beside the GSO segment size, read TOS/TCLASS on receive, fillRecvMeta::ecn. Regression is a UDP-level cmsg round trip inrs/moq-uring/tests(v4/v6, single datagram and GSO train, CE in), running on the existingrs uringnightly lane.quest/m2/quic/ecn-measure.md[S] - manual study, no code: netem +fq_codelmarking vs dropping, andtcpdumpon Linode and OVH relays for mark preservation in both directions. Verdict written into the L4S quest.quest/m2/quic/ecn.md[M] retitled L4S on the backbone - the fork half:Ect1option, the config knob with itsdoc/bin/relay/config.mdentry,dualpi2measurement. Requires the fork, the uring fix, and the study.Decisions from the interview: three quests rather than one; UDP-level regression since noq exposes no ECN state; the knob lives with the fork work; the verdict lives in the L4S quest text; no harness checked in for the study; ECN stays invisible in stats (tcpdump suffices) until an operator needs it.
