Problem

The unpublished E2EE profile exposed the semantic broadcast name and encryption policy through a .e2ee path suffix. The core implementations need one opaque, epoch-discoverable path contract before adopting the profile.

Approach

  • Derive a 22-character opaque prefix from the credential and semantic broadcast name with the moq-e2ee-00 path label.
  • Keep the epoch as the final cleartext segment for instance discovery, outside the prefix derivation.
  • Add and verify the meeting.hang known-answer vector, align the draft and Hang docs, and retire the completed quest.

Impact

  • Public API: none. The Rust and TypeScript core quests adopt this contract later.
  • Wire: none. MoQ framing and persisted bytes are unchanged; broadcast paths are application data.
  • Profile interoperability: unpublished moq-e2ee-00 path derivation changes from a semantic .e2ee suffix to an opaque prefix.

Alternatives

Keeping a .e2ee suffix would leak application policy into every path consumer. Hiding the epoch would make generation discovery depend on data that cannot be decrypted until the epoch is known.

Follow-ups

The E2EE API quest is now unblocked and owns the Rust implementation.

Closes #3717

Walkthrough

The PR changes protected broadcast paths from semantic .e2ee/<epoch> names to <opaque>/<epoch>. The opaque segment derives from credential context, key ID, and semantic broadcast name, without the epoch. The E2EE draft and concept documentation describe the new contract and security properties. The TypeScript generator adds path derivation, vectors, verification, and reporting. Quest documents remove the standalone path quest and update related API and release references.

Recommendation: MERGE

Positive improvement? Yes. Replacing the semantic .e2ee/<epoch> suffix with an HKDF-derived opaque prefix removes encryption-policy leakage from every path consumer (matchers, exporters, recorders) while keeping the epoch as the final cleartext segment so instance discovery still works without decrypting first.

Worth the complexity? Yes for an unpublished profile. The derivation ("moq-e2ee-00 path" over context, kid, semantic broadcast, no epoch) mirrors the existing name/key HKDF shape, the Hang concept doc and draft Security Considerations are updated honestly (opaque hides the name only if the app does not republish it; epoch remains visible), and the meeting.hang known-answer vector plus verifier close the interoperability loop before cores adopt the contract.

Different approach? Keeping .e2ee would bake policy into paths forever; folding the epoch into the opaque segment would force discovery to depend on ciphertext. Minor follow-up (non-blocking): JSDoc on the exported pathInfo / derivePath APIs would help the next Rust/TS implementers, but vectors + draft are enough to merge.

Closes the path quest cleanly and unblocks the E2EE API work.

Merge pass summary: PR was OPEN, MERGEABLE/CLEAN with all checks passing. Addressed the coderabbit nitpick (also flagged as a non-blocking follow-up in the automated review) by adding one-line JSDoc to the exported pathInfo and derivePath APIs in drafts/moq-e2ee-00.ts, per the repo convention to document every exported symbol. No functional change; verified locally with bun drafts/moq-e2ee-00.ts (1 path, 4 derivation, 5 group, 1 datagram, 30 negative vectors, all verified). Pushed as 586f0baf1 to quest/m0/e2ee-path and enabled auto-merge (squash, matching recent main history). No disagreements with automated findings worth replying to.
