Plans the follow-ups from the 2026-09-30 quest spawn (the agents' reports on #4597 through #4612).

m0

  • qmux-credit.md [M]: qmux returns connection credit for streams that are dropped unread or stopped (including the accept gap) and delivers its close frame before dropping the transport. Both the 0.5 (main) and 0.6 (dev) lines are fixed, then main's pin is bumped.
  • ietf-early-streams.md [S]: moq-transport uni streams that arrive before SETUP are queued and classified once it lands, in Rust and JS. Blocked on fix(ietf): discard padding streams and close on unknown uni types #4603.
  • ietf-subscribe-tracks.md [S]: a draft-18+ SUBSCRIBE_TRACKS gets REQUEST_ERROR NOT_SUPPORTED on its stream.

m1

  • listener-deadlines.md [M]: listen.timeout in the io_uring workers, HTTP/2 and internal-listener timers, and iroh's keep_alive_interval. Blocked on feat(tokio): deadline accepted handshakes and relay HTTP headers #4612.
  • papercuts.md [S]: JS refuses to serve a broadcast it did not produce, .scratch/ is excluded from taplo/remark, and remote_wake_unparks stops sleeping.
  • admission-bench.md [S]: sweeps the per-event admission walk. Blocked on the wildcard line (quest(wildcard): Wildcard advertisements #4403).
  • cluster-shims.md [XS]: on dev, deletes the hidden mesh/linger fields once a release has carried their refusals.

Dropped from the queue: a qmux 0.6 bump (dev already has 0.6, and 0.6 does not fix the close frame), a server SETUP-send deadline, per-message JS parameter tables, and first-datagram delivery.

Public API: none. Wire: none (quests only).

Decisions

Plan now:

  • ✅ qmux: leak + 0.6 bump
  • ✅ IETF: early uni + SUBSCRIBE_TRACKS
  • ✅ Deadlines: uring/HTTP2/iroh
  • ✅ Small cleanups

qmux milestone:

  • ✅ m0
  • m1

IETF milestone:

  • ✅ m0
  • m1
  • Split

Deadlines milestone:

  • ✅ m1
  • m0

Cleanups:

  • One XS quest each
  • ✅ Group them

qmux scope:

  • ✅ Leak + close frame, both lines
  • Leak only
  • 0.6 line only

Early streams:

  • ✅ Queue until SETUP
  • Process immediately

Deadlines:

  • ✅ One [M] quest
  • Split io_uring out

Grouping:

  • ✅ Papercuts + two separate quests
  • Papercuts wait for the line

TLS scheme (applied to roles.md in #4629):

  • ✅ tls://
  • tcps://
  • Decide in the quest

Reviewed SHA: 0a26f31

[P2] HTTP/2 keep-alive does not enforce the promised idle/header deadline — quest/m1/listener-deadlines.md:18–21

The proposed knobs detect an unresponsive connection: keep_alive_timeout expires only when a PING is not acknowledged. A client can complete HTTP/2 setup, acknowledge every PING, and never send a request, retaining the connection indefinitely. That fails the goal's idle keep-alive bound; these settings also do not establish a header-completion deadline. Specify the actual request/header-progress and application-idle bounds separately, with an ACKing-but-request-idle regression, or explicitly narrow the goal to dead-peer detection. A silent-peer test alone would miss this gap.

Direction: the scoped follow-ups are sensible. Fixing qmux at the source on both supported lines, reusing the IETF classifier, and measuring admission cost before optimizing avoid unnecessary redesign. The HTTP deadline mechanism is the one plan adjustment I recommend.

Verification: reviewed all nine changed files and relevant current code, dependencies, and API documentation. Static planning review only; no runtime tests or quest checks run (quest is unavailable here).

Walkthrough

The change adds M0 and M1 quest-list entries and planning documents. The documents describe proposed handling for early IETF streams and SUBSCRIBE_TRACKS, qmux credit accounting, cluster flag removal, listener deadlines, papercuts, and an admission benchmark. The pull request documents these plans; it does not implement them.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bf196

The early-stream quest and index could steer implementation toward incorrect handling of pre-SETUP streams. Scope both by draft and stream type before the quest is implemented; this PR otherwise changes plans only.

Review (head 0a26f31f6ccbe78696ae9926652bf5ad71a97eb4)

Quest/docs-only follow-ups from the 2026-09-30 spawn. Spot-checked the factual claims against main (and web-transport / the wildcard line where the plans point). Most of the pack matches: qmux credit/close + accept gap, early-uni abort vs JS receiveSetup, SUBSCRIBE_TRACKS → session _ / JS bidi default, mesh/linger shims + #4601 not yet released, remote_wake_unparks sleep, .scratch/ missing from taplo/remark, admission walk on the wildcard line, iroh 1.3 keep_alive_interval, #4629 tls://. Two plan items would send an implementer to the wrong fix.

Blocking

  1. quest/m1/papercuts.md:11-16 — JS republish diagnosis points at the wrong path.
    The Goal ("refuse to serve a broadcast it did not produce") matches fix(net): JS names its own origin, drops a copy whose origin changes #4599's follow-up. The Plan does not: local(..) ?? demand(..) already skips received routes (Consumer.#demand → bestEntry(path, received) in js/net/src/origin.ts). An implementer checking RouteEntry.originated there will find nothing to refuse. The real gap is serving a consumed broadcast (e.g. accepting one into an originated dynamic / announcing upstream content), which still labels it with the local origin hop.

  2. quest/m1/listener-deadlines.md:5-9 and :18-21 — HTTP/2 keep-alive ≠ slow-header / request-idle bound.
    Goal says the HTTPS HTTP/2 path times out "slow headers and idle keep-alive". Plan only sets http2().timer(..), keep_alive_interval, and keep_alive_timeout. Those expire when a PING is not ACKed; a peer that completes the h2 preface, ACKs PINGs, and never sends a request (or trickles headers) stays up. feat(tokio): deadline accepted handshakes and relay HTTP headers #4612's header_read_timeout is HTTP/1-only. Either name a real request/header-progress bound (and test an ACKing-but-idle client), or narrow the Goal to dead-peer detection and leave slow headers to HTTP/1 + [internal].

Non-blocking

None that would mislead an implementer. Dependencies (#4603, #4612, #4403, post-#4601 moq-relay release) and the dropped queue items match the PR body. Internal quest links resolve.

Alternative

For papercuts: refuse at the point a non-produced broadcast.Consumer is accepted/announced for serving (the #4599 follow-up), not in the lite publisher's local/demand resolve. For listener-deadlines: keep the iroh + io_uring work as written; split HTTP/2 into (a) PING keep-alive and (b) an explicit request-idle/header-progress deadline if the Goal still wants both.

HTTP/2 PING keep-alive only detects dead peers, so listener-deadlines now
plans a per-connection idle deadline with an ACKing-but-idle regression.
Papercuts points the JS republish refusal at where a consumed broadcast
enters the origin. qmux close delivery is qualified by the close bound.

Merged main (README conflicts in m0/m1: kept both sides; cluster-shims sits after main's route-cost with the other dev-only cluster deletions). quest check passes.

Review fixes in 787a588:

  • listener-deadlines (Codex P2, Grok, CodeRabbit): HTTP/2 PING keep-alive only catches dead peers. The Goal now promises a per-connection idle deadline (no complete request in flight for listen.timeout), which covers trickled headers and an ACKing-but-idle client, on both HTTPS HTTP/2 and [internal]. hyper has no knob for it, so it lives in the relay's serve path. Tests add the ACKing-but-idle and trickled-HEADERS cases. Still compatible with feat(tokio): deadline accepted handshakes and relay HTTP headers #4612 as it stands (its header timer is HTTP/1 only).
  • papercuts (Grok): #demand already skips received routes, so the refusal moves to where a consumed broadcast.Consumer re-enters an origin (e.g. Request.accept), matching the fix(net): JS names its own origin, drops a copy whose origin changes #4599 follow-up.
  • qmux-credit (CodeRabbit): close-code delivery is qualified by the close bound.

Follow-up review (head 787a588ca409d9e6628ab5d79afdbfdfd47342a1)

Notable push after ITERATE on 0a26f31f6ccbe78696ae9926652bf5ad71a97eb4: review fixes for listener-deadlines, papercuts, and qmux close (plus a main merge that only touched README conflict resolution for this PR's entries). Spot-checked the three edited quests against main.

Earlier findings

  1. FIXED — papercuts.md JS republish path. Plan now correctly notes #demand / bestEntry(path, received) already skips received routes, and points the refusal at where a session-delivered broadcast.Consumer re-enters an origin (e.g. Request.accept), matching the fix(net): JS names its own origin, drops a copy whose origin changes #4599 follow-up.

  2. FIXED — listener-deadlines.md HTTP/2 idle/header bound. Goal and Plan now separate PING keep-alive (dead peers) from a per-connection idle deadline (no complete request in flight for listen.timeout), covering ACKing-but-idle and trickled HEADERS, with matching tests. Still correctly blocked on feat(tokio): deadline accepted handshakes and relay HTTP headers #4612.

  3. FIXED (CodeRabbit) — qmux-credit.md close delivery. Goal now qualifies the close code as visible whenever the transport stays writable within the close bound.

Blocking

None.

Non-blocking

None that would mislead an implementer. One implementation detail (not a plan bug): Request.accept today takes Producer | Consumer, and a Producer.consume() handle is the same type as a session-delivered one—so the refusal needs a provenance check (or narrowing the accept surface), not a type guard alone.

Reviewed SHA: 787a588. Delta from 0a26f31, accounting for the main merge.

No new actionable finding. quest/m1/listener-deadlines.md:19-38 addresses the earlier planning defect: request-idle bounds are separate from PING liveness, with ACKing-but-idle and trickled-header regressions. The narrowed no-request-in-flight goal is explicit. papercuts.md:11-18 now puts republish refusal at origin admission, matching the existing received-route exclusion in #demand. quest/m0/qmux-credit.md:8-10 correctly qualifies close delivery by transport writability within the bound.

Direction: these targeted plan corrections are sufficient; keep the separate liveness and request-progress concerns in implementation. No runtime API or wire change in this docs-only delta.

Verification: static comparison against the prior review and current base, plus the relevant origin code. No quest checks or runtime tests run; the proposed deadline behavior remains to be implemented and tested.

Merged main again (m1 README: kept main's route-wakes and this PR's admission-bench). #4612 landed with an HTTP/1-only header timer and no [internal] timer, as the plan assumes, so listener-deadlines drops its Required section and is ready. quest check passes.

Merged main again: #4603 landed, so its m0 entry is gone and ietf-early-streams drops its Required section (unblocked); path hunting moved to the cluster-routing line per #4650. quest check passes. Auto-merge re-armed on a0f39b6.
