Problem

#4392 had no quest. On lite-03/04, the far subscriber's in-flight read_frame hangs after a publisher aborts a track mid-group. It still reproduces on main.

Root cause: after a mid-group failover, the resumed group waits on the new copy's cache but never subscribes to it. Only recv_group does. #4365 parks at the same line.

Approach

New, m1:

Aligned:

  • track-tail-interop: the lite-07 case checks drops instead of the stream count, and requires subscribe-drop.
  • track-tail-hardening: stream-count references now point at subscribe-drop.

Impact

  • This PR changes only quest documents. The planned subscribe-drop changes the lite-07 wire: SUBSCRIBE_DROP returns and SUBSCRIBE_END loses Stream Count. Lite-03 through lite-06 wire is unchanged; publishers start sending a message those versions already define.

MERGE

Positive improvement. The quest documents name a real hang (#4392 on lite-03/04 read_frame, #4365 through the origin) and pin it to a concrete mechanism: resume::Group waits on the spliced copy in poll_peek_group without ever subscribing, while only recv_group drives Subscriber::apply. That matches the symptom split (group-only readers park; track-level readers error). Folding both reports under one resume path is the right cut.

Worth the complexity. resume-latest [S] is small and already smoke-checked (prototype subscription half turned the eight #4392 cases into errors with moq-net green). Keeping the old group alive across failover instead of aborting eagerly is the right call for long-lived groups like the catalog. subscribe-drop [L] is larger, but it replaces two lite-07 mechanisms (Stream Count from #4224 plus an unused DROP) with one, and it finally makes publishers send the DROP that lite-03..06 already define. Aligning track-tail-hardening and track-tail-interop to that decision now avoids implementing the count case and ripping it out later. lite-07 is still unpublished WIP, so reversing #4224 here is cheap.

Different approach. FETCH-the-remainder (as #4388 sketched for #4365) is correctly rejected for now: lite-03/04 have no FETCH, and start = latest covers every version with one path. Keeping Stream Count beside DROP would be redundant once every sequence is named. Datagrams staying best-effort (grace for uncovered holes) stays consistent with the hardening quest.

Watch during implementation: the media-layer obligation that cut and group discontinuities mark gaps so the net layer can DROP them is the main cross-cutting risk in subscribe-drop; land resume-latest first if you want the hang fixed before that publisher work. Follow-up call to drop splice-fetch-remainder / #4365 from #4388 is right.

This is an automated review, not the maintainer's decision

P2 Badge Exclude lost datagrams from the every-group guarantee

For a lost datagram, this guarantee is false: the plan later says the publisher counts the datagram as delivered (lines 30-32), so it sends no SUBSCRIBE_DROP and the subscriber receives no Group Stream, waiting for tail grace instead. Scope the goal and README summary to stream groups or change datagram accounting; otherwise the quest's acceptance criterion contradicts its chosen behavior.

Walkthrough

The changes add quest documents for resumed latest groups and SUBSCRIBE_DROP. They also update the track-tail hardening and interoperability plans. The documents describe proposed behavior and planned tests; they do not change implementation code.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bd1a2

The plans could promise completion before DROP handling exists and lead publishers to account for reliable resets inconsistently. Clarify both requirements before using the plans to guide implementation.

Summary: two m1 quests. resume-latest [S] closes #4392 and #4365: a resumed group subscribes to the new copy with start = latest and ends once that copy is past it (no FETCH). subscribe-drop [L] makes publishers name every undelivered stream group with SUBSCRIBE_DROP on lite-03 through lite-06, and lite-07 swaps Stream Count for it. Datagrams stay best effort. The track-tail quests are updated to match. Review wording findings are fixed. The maintainer confirmed the merge; FETCH of older groups waits for a need.

P2 Badge Retain demand until the resumed group completes

When the handed-out group is the only reader, this temporary subscription is the only demand keeping the replacement's wire SUBSCRIBE alive. Dropping it as soon as poll_current or poll_finished resolves the lookup sends FIN upstream, and lite::publisher::SubscribeState::Run handles PeerFin by dropping its in-flight group tasks, so the continuation can be canceled before its remaining frames arrive. Keep the subscription until the logical group finishes or errors, otherwise the group-only reader can still lose a mid-group continuation. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

P2 Badge Test every lite version promised by the goal

The goal promises this behavior on every lite version, but the regression matrix covers only lite-03 through lite-06. The current version set also supports lite-01, lite-02, and lite-07; lite-01/02 use the same pre-TRACK path implicated in the root cause, while lite-07 is an explicitly supported wire variant affected by the companion quest. Add those versions to the matrix or narrow the stated guarantee so the quest cannot finish with supported variants unverified. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)
