+# [S] IETF streams that arrive before SETUP are held
+
+## Goal
+
+A moq-transport stream that arrives before SETUP completes is held and
+handled once SETUP lands, never aborted and never fatal, in Rust and JS, on
+every draft the tree negotiates.
+
+## Plan
+
+Facts (`origin/main`, 2026-09-30):
+
+- Rust server, drafts 17+: `accept_setup` aborts every uni stream that is not
+  SETUP (0x2F00) with `UnexpectedStream`, which reaches the wire as
+  INTERNAL_ERROR. Bidi streams wait in the transport queue.
+- JS: `receiveSetup` reads the first incoming uni stream and fails the whole
+  handshake if it is not SETUP.
+- Drafts 16 to 21 say early data SHOULD be buffered until the control
+  streams arrive, and permit resetting only bidi streams. Drafts 18+ add that
+  parameters needing negotiation SHOULD NOT be used before the peer's SETUP.
+- Group and fetch decoding needs only the draft version, which ALPN fixes;
+  what needs SETUP state is PUBLISH_NAMESPACE (cluster), solicit, and hidden.
+
+Decided (2026-09-30): queue non-SETUP uni streams during the handshake and
+hand them to the normal classifier (padding, group, fetch, unknown, per
+the uni-stream classifier from moq-dev/moq#4603) once SETUP lands.
+QUIC stream credit already bounds the queue, so no extra cap. Do the same in
+the JS handshake. Bidi streams keep waiting as today. Check draft 22's text
+when it is reachable.
+
+Tests in both languages: a padding stream and a group stream that arrive
+before SETUP are handled after it, and the session opens.
+
+Public API: none. Wire: none; fixes conformance.

+# [S] SUBSCRIBE_TRACKS is refused per request
+
+## Goal
+
+A SUBSCRIBE_TRACKS (0x51) on drafts 18 and later gets REQUEST_ERROR with
+NOT_SUPPORTED on its own stream, in Rust and JS, and the session stays open.
+
+## Plan
+
+Today Rust closes the session: drafts 17+ hit the `_` arm in
+`rs/moq-net/src/ietf/session.rs` (`UnexpectedStream`, PROTOCOL_VIOLATION).
+JS aborts the stream without a REQUEST_ERROR (`js/net/src/ietf/connection.ts`
+default arm), and its `control.ts` check for drafts 18+ looks unreachable;
+delete it if so. The drafts say limited endpoints SHOULD answer unsupported
+messages with NOT_SUPPORTED (0x3 in every draft's registry). On drafts before
+18, 0x51 is not a defined message and stays fatal. moq-dev/moq#4610 applies the same refuse-per-request rule to
+other messages.
+
+Decode enough of the message to reply on its stream, then refuse. Tests in
+both languages: a draft-18+ SUBSCRIBE_TRACKS is refused NOT_SUPPORTED while
+another subscription on the session keeps delivering.

+# [M] qmux returns every byte's credit and sends its close frame
+
+## Goal
+
+A qmux session returns connection-level credit for every byte it receives,
+whether the app reads it, drops the stream unread, or it arrives after
+STOP_SENDING, so a long-lived session never stalls on MAX_DATA. `close()`
+delivers its APPLICATION_CLOSE frame before the transport drops, so a TCP or
+WebSocket peer sees the close code whenever the transport stays writable
+within the close bound. Both hold on the 0.5 line that
+`main` pins and the 0.6 line `dev` uses.
+
+## Plan
+
+Facts from moq-dev/web-transport `rs/qmux/src/session.rs` (0.5.1 and main):
+
+- Credit returns only through `RecvStream::report_consumed` on reads.
+  `Drop for RecvStream` sends STOP_SENDING and returns stream-count credit,
+  but never consumes bytes still buffered or queued in `inbound_data`.
+- On STOP_SENDING the writer removes the recv entry, so later STREAM data is
+  dropped before the connection-credit check, and a later RESET_STREAM
+  returns early, so its final-size gap is never consumed. The peer counts all
+  of it against MAX_DATA.
+- A new stream's entry is inserted only after `accept_uni`/`accept_bi` hands
+  it over, so a stream dropped in that window leaves a stale entry that keeps
+  charging the connection window.
+- `close()` queues APPLICATION_CLOSE and marks the session closed at once. A
+  writer that is mid-write treats that as interrupted and drops the frame.
+  0.6 made `close()` idempotent and keeps the first reason, but not the order.
+
+Work:
+
+- Consume credit for unread bytes on drop, for STREAM data and the RESET
+  final-size gap after STOP_SENDING (keep enough of a retired stream's state
+  to account for its final size), and close the accept gap.
+- Mark the session closed only once the writer has sent the close frame, with
+  a bound so a stalled transport still drops.
+- Tests in `rs/qmux`: a session that drops many unread streams keeps
+  delivering past its initial window, and a peer reads the close code after a
+  close issued mid-write.
+- Release on both lines (0.5.x after 0.5.2 from
+  [qmux reset race](/quest/m0/qmux-reset-race.md), and 0.6.x), then bump
+  `main`'s pin. `dev` picks up 0.6.x.
+
+Why m0: the WebSocket fallback and the planned edge-to-core `tls://` links
+both run on qmux, and MoQ drops streams constantly.

+# [S] Admission walk benchmark
+
+## Goal
+
+A benchmark sweeps tracks per front against copies per track for the
+driver's admission walk, so a per-event cost that grows with the front
+shows up as a slope.
+
+## Plan
+
+On the wildcard line, `run_front` (`rs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs`) walks
+every track and every copy (`io.copies()`) and calls `Provenance::admit` after
+each event whenever `front.admit()` returns an origin, even when nothing
+changed; Abort and End walk the same way. #4279 left this unbenchmarked
+(moq-dev/moq#4607 covered pool resolution). The walk only runs once a
+lite-07 reply names an origin, so extend `rs/moq-net/benches/session.rs` over
+lite-07 mock sessions. If the slope matters, say so rather than optimizing
+here; [Front deadlines](/quest/m1/front-deadline-index.md) owns per-track
+wakes.
+
+## Required
+
+- The wildcard line (moq-dev/moq#4403) lands on main, where the walk lives

+# [M] Every listener bounds its handshake and headers
+
+## Goal
+
+Every relay listener bounds slow peers the way the default runtime does
+after the handshake deadline (moq-dev/moq#4612): the io_uring
+workers apply `listen.timeout`, the HTTPS listener's HTTP/2 path and the
+`[internal]` listener drop a connection with no complete request in flight
+for `listen.timeout` (covering slow headers and an idle keep-alive, even one
+that ACKs every PING), and the iroh backend honors `quic.keep_alive`.
+
+## Plan
+
+- io_uring (`rs/moq-relay/src/uring.rs` `serve_connection`): bound the
+  WebTransport `Request::accept`, `respond`, and `accept_request_lite` by one
+  deadline from `listen::Config::resolved_timeout()`, on the worker's own
+  timer (`rs/moq-uring/src/timer.rs`), closing with the timeout code. Delete
+  the "There is no timeout here" note in `rs/moq-uring/src/quic/web.rs`.
+- HTTP: `axum_server` builds hyper with no timer, and #4612's
+  `header_read_timeout` is HTTP/1 only. hyper's HTTP/2 PING keep-alive
+  (`http2().timer(..)`, `keep_alive_interval`, `keep_alive_timeout`) only
+  detects a dead peer: a client that ACKs every PING and never finishes a
+  request stays up. So the bound is a per-connection idle deadline: the
+  connection closes once it has had no complete request in flight for
+  `listen.timeout`, which covers both a trickled HEADERS block and an idle
+  keep-alive. hyper has no such knob, so it lives in the relay's serve path
+  (`rs/moq-relay/src/listener.rs` and `web.rs`, e.g. an in-flight counter in
+  the per-connection service driving that connection's graceful shutdown).
+  Set the PING keep-alive too, for dead peers. Apply both to the HTTPS
+  listener and the `[internal]` listener, which also gets the HTTP/1 header
+  timer.
+- iroh (`rs/moq-tokio/src/iroh.rs`): set iroh 1.3's
+  `keep_alive_interval` from `quic.keep_alive`, and fix the docs that say iroh
+  has no knob (`rs/moq-tokio/src/quic.rs`, `doc/bin/relay/config.md`).
+- Tests on a paused clock where the runtime allows: a stalled io_uring
+  handshake closes at the deadline, and an HTTP/2 client that ACKs PINGs but
+  never sends a request, or trickles one request's headers, is dropped at the
+  deadline while one with a request in flight is not.
+
+Public API: none beyond existing settings. Wire: none.

+# [S] Papercuts from the 2026-09-30 spawn
+
+## Goal
+
+Three small fixes found while landing the m0 quests: `@moq/net` refuses to
+serve a broadcast it did not produce, `just fix` and `just check` leave the
+gitignored `.scratch/` alone, and `remote_wake_unparks` passes under load.
+
+## Plan
+
+- JS republish: `@moq/net` publishes only what it produces (decided with
+  moq-dev/moq#4599), naming its own origin. Requests already skip received
+  routes (`#demand` resolves through `bestEntry(path, received)` in
+  `js/net/src/origin.ts`), so the gap is an app handing a consumed
+  `broadcast.Consumer` (one a session delivered) back to an origin for
+  serving, e.g. `Request.accept(consumer)`, which labels upstream content
+  with the local origin's hop. Refuse that loudly at the point it enters the
+  origin, not in the lite publisher's `local(..) ?? demand(..)` resolve.
+- `.scratch/`: add it to `.taplo.toml`'s excludes and to `.remarkignore`, so
+  `taplo format` and `sh/markdown.sh` stop rewriting agents' scratch clones.
+  biome, nixfmt, just, and shfmt already skip it.
+- `rs/moq-uring/src/worker.rs` `remote_wake_unparks`: observe that the worker
+  parked instead of sleeping 50 ms and asserting elapsed wall time, per the
+  rule that unit tests mock time.
