fix(net): honor SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE options and fill draft-16+ streams

[kixelated]

Summary

On draft-16 and later, a SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE that asks for namespaces gets NAMESPACE and NAMESPACE_DONE for each match on its response stream, whatever the peer's SETUP options. A peer that did not send SOLICIT (0x40B5A) used to get an empty stream and only the unsolicited PUBLISH_NAMESPACE pushes. Those pushes stay, so that peer hears each namespace twice. A NAMESPACE is discovery, not a second route. Drafts 14 and 15 still answer with PUBLISH_NAMESPACE requests, and only for what the unsolicited loop does not already say.

The draft-16/17 Subscribe Options field (d16 §9.25, d17 §9.20) is now carried to dispatch in both rs/moq-net and js/net instead of being dropped:

Options	Draft-16/17 answer
0x00 PUBLISH	REQUEST_ERROR NOT_SUPPORTED, no NAMESPACE
0x01 NAMESPACE	REQUEST_OK, then NAMESPACEs
0x02 both	REQUEST_OK, then NAMESPACEs (no PUBLISH)
other	malformed: PROTOCOL_VIOLATION

Draft-18+ has no field and always gets NAMESPACE.

drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-solicit.md no longer says "don't advertise both ways"; it says a peer that did not declare 1 can hear a namespace both ways, and the receiver treats both as one advertisement.

This completes and deletes quest/m0/ietf-namespace-stream.md (from #5020).

Decisions

• Honor Subscribe Options instead of filling every stream regardless
  • ✅ 0x01/0x02 get NAMESPACE, 0x00 gets none; draft-18+ always gets NAMESPACE (maintainer 2026-10-08)
• A request for PUBLISH alone (0x00)
  • ✅ Refuse with REQUEST_ERROR NOT_SUPPORTED (recommended: fails loud, and we never send PUBLISH)
  • Answer REQUEST_OK with an empty stream
• A request for both (0x02)
  • ✅ Answer with NAMESPACE only, discovery only (maintainer 2026-10-08)
  • Refuse it like 0x00
• A value above 0x02
  • ✅ Malformed, closes the session as PROTOCOL_VIOLATION (fail loud on malformed input)
  • Refuse only the request
• The solicit draft's "don't advertise both ways" sentence
  • ✅ Align drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-solicit.md (recommended: it is our own extension, and the subscriber already counts both as one discovery)
  • Record a deviation in the doc/concept/standard.md section docs(concept): list the relay's moq-transport deviations #5022 adds
• How the options are carried
  • ✅ A typed SubscribeOptions (Rust enum, JS as const), checked at dispatch; the stream handler stays option-free since 0x01 and 0x02 behave the same

Public API

None. ietf is private in moq-net and not exported from @moq/net. Internally SubscribeNamespaceLegacy::subscribe_options is now a SubscribeOptions enum instead of a raw integer.

Wire

moq-transport replies move closer to the drafts:

• A draft-16+ SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE stream is no longer empty when the peer omitted SOLICIT. Unsolicited PUBLISH_NAMESPACE is unchanged.
• A draft-16/17 SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE with options 0x00 is refused NOT_SUPPORTED; a value above 0x02 closes the session.

doc/concept/standard.md describes both. The solicit draft text changed (no changelog appendix exists in that draft).

Tests

• Rust subscribe_namespace_honors_subscribe_options: dispatches 0x00, 0x01, 0x02 on d16 and d17, and d18, through handle_stream, checking the refusal (Request ID only on d16) or REQUEST_OK + NAMESPACE.
• Rust legacy_round_trips covers all three options; legacy_rejects_unknown_subscribe_options covers 0x03.
• JS connection.test.ts: the same seven cases through Connection dispatch, plus 0x03 and 2^53 closing the session on d16 and d17.
• Kept from the first round: a non-SOLICIT d16/d18 stream receives NAMESPACE for an existing match and a later one, then NAMESPACE_DONE, in both languages.

just check passed lint, clippy and every test except moq-uring metrics_count_timer_churn, which failed on this machine's RLIMIT_MEMLOCK (unrelated). cargo nextest -p moq-net, bun test in js/net, and just test interop --all passed.

Follow-up

None.

No new actionable correctness findings. The direction is sound: rs/moq-net/src/ietf/publisher.rs:2177–2194 and js/net/src/ietf/publisher.ts:907–915 preserve visibility filtering and draft-14/15 behavior while filling draft-16+ namespace subscriptions. I also traced subscriber advertisement refcounts and stream cleanup; receiving both announcement forms does not create a second independent source.

The SOLICIT draft wording discrepancy is already identified in the PR description; it still needs reconciliation with the new behavior.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of all five changed files and relevant subscriber context; tests and cross-language interop were not run independently. Check CI was still in progress when inspected. This is a COMMENT review, not a merge-readiness determination.

Walkthrough

The JavaScript and Rust implementations now validate legacy SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE options and refuse PUBLISH-only requests. For draft 16 and later, matching visible namespaces are also sent on the subscription stream, including when unsolicited announcements are active. Drafts 14 and 15 retain their prior delivery behavior. Tests and documentation cover these rules.

Automated review of de49d4cb (full review; the last commit is an origin/main merge, so this covers ea26cde2 + 0d549228)

This fills draft-16+ SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE streams with NAMESPACE/NAMESPACE_DONE for every visible match whatever the peer's SETUP, keeps draft-14/15 disjoint from the unsolicited loop, and carries Subscribe Options to dispatch in both Rust and JS (0x00 refused NOT_SUPPORTED, 0x01/0x02 answered with NAMESPACE, above 0x02 closes the session). It matches the quest/m0/ietf-namespace-stream plan in #5020. I checked the claims against the code: the Rust receiver already refcounts a repeated advertisement (start_announce, subscriber.rs:1484), so hearing a namespace both ways doesn't leave it holding two sources. The refusal's Request ID is present only on d16, matching reject_track_status. A decode error from SubscribeOptions::decode comes back out of handle_stream and closes the session as PROTOCOL_VIOLATION (Error::Decode). The hidden-namespace expectations are right for all five versions.

No blocking issues.

Non-blocking

1. The drafts don't call Subscribe Options above 0x02 malformed. d16 §9.25 and d17 §9.20 only list 0x00, 0x01 and 0x02, and they give no error rule. So the Rust doc comment on legacy_rejects_unknown_subscribe_options ("malformed (d16 §9.25)") and the PR table credit the drafts with a choice that is ours. Closing the whole session is the strictest answer available, and a peer that sends some future value loses every other request too. That's a fine call to make on purpose, but word the comments as our policy, and consider adding a sentence next to the new text in doc/concept/standard.md, since it's behavior another implementation could hit.
2. drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-solicit.md:107 "treats them as one advertisement". Our receiver counts two advertisements on one route: start_announce bumps count, and the route goes away only when both are withdrawn. An implementer who reads "one advertisement" literally could retract the namespace on the first NAMESPACE_DONE, or when the SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE stream closes, even though the unsolicited PUBLISH_NAMESPACE is still live. Something like "as one route, held until both are withdrawn" would say what the code does.
3. Test gaps (Rust). subscribe_namespace_honors_subscribe_options checks that the refusal task finished, but not that the response stream was FINed (the JS case checks reader.done()). Rust also has no handle_stream-level case showing that 0x03 closes the session; only decode_msg returning InvalidValue is covered, while JS tests the session close through Connection.

Cross-PR

• quest: triage Fastly's moq-relay-interop report #5020 still carries quest/m0/ietf-namespace-stream.md. Drop it there or delete it after that lands, as the body says.
• feat(net)!: bound peer-declared lengths and per-session requests #4820 wraps the d16 SubscribeNamespaceLegacy dispatch in a request permit around handle_stream, so the new early-return refusal path will hold and release it correctly. The two PRs touch different hunks of ietf/publisher.rs.
• docs(concept): list the relay's moq-transport deviations #5022's "Deliberate deviations" list is in a different hunk of doc/concept/standard.md, so there's no conflict.

CI on de49d4cb is still queued.

Verdict: MERGE once CI is green.

Reviewed commit: de49d4c

[P2] Validate Subscribe Options at full varint width (js/net/src/ietf/subscribe_namespace.ts:164-165). The new invalid-option check is bypassed by a well-formed 8-byte QUIC varint such as 2^53: Reader.u53() throws RangeError first (stream.ts:645; util/u64.ts:11). Connection's bidi catch only closes the session for ProtocolViolation (connection.ts:251-255), so this malformed option resets just its request stream and the peer can continue. That misses the new “any value above 0x02 closes the session” behavior and differs from Rust. Read with u62(), validate against 0n/1n/2n, then narrow; extend the dispatch regression with an out-of-safe-integer wire value on drafts 16 and 17.

The prior SOLICIT wording discrepancy is fixed. Overall direction is sound: typed options, refusal of PUBLISH-only requests, and the shared refusal helper preserve the draft-specific response shapes without complicating the namespace stream handler. No other actionable findings in the PR-specific changes after separating the main merge.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of all ten changed files and relevant dispatch, codec and subscriber context. No tests or interop were run independently; GitHub Actions were queued when checked.

Addressed the [P2] in "fix(js): read Subscribe Options at full varint width": JS now reads the field with u62() and refuses anything above 0x02 as a ProtocolViolation, so 2^53 closes the session like Rust. connection.test.ts covers 0x03 and 2^53 on draft-16 and draft-17; the 2^53 cases fail without the fix.

Also merged main (#5020 landed) and deleted quest/m0/ietf-namespace-stream.md with its m0 README entry.

Automated follow-up review of 5a33713e (re-review after a push; last Grok review was on de49d4cb, #issuecomment-6051039935)

What changed since de49d4cb, apart from a main merge that didn't touch the PR's own hunks:

• e132da84 makes js/net read Subscribe Options with r.u62() instead of r.u53() (js/net/src/ietf/subscribe_namespace.ts:164-167). Before, a value past 2^53 threw a RangeError from the reader and only reset that stream. Now it's a ProtocolViolation that closes the session, the same as Rust, where SubscribeOptions::decode already matches on the full varint(). The compare against BigInt(SubscribeOptions.BOTH) happens before the Number(raw) cast, so the cast can't lose precision on a value we accept.
• connection.test.ts now runs the session-close case on both d16 and d17 with 3 and 2^53, and it hand-encodes the message so it can send values the typed encoder can't. The d16/d17 layouts match #encode (the Required Request ID delta is only on d17).
• 5a33713e deletes quest/m0/ietf-namespace-stream.md and its README line. quest: triage Fastly's moq-relay-interop report #5020 merged with that file, so the cross-PR note from the last review is resolved.

I didn't find any new issues in the push.

Still open from the last review (all non-blocking)

1. Closing the session on Subscribe Options above 0x02 is our policy. The drafts don't call it malformed, but the Rust doc comment on legacy_rejects_unknown_subscribe_options still says "malformed (d16 §9.25)", and the new JS test comment says "are malformed" too. It's worth wording both as our choice, with a line in doc/concept/standard.md.
2. drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-solicit.md:107 still says "treats them as one advertisement". The receiver actually holds one route until both advertisements are withdrawn.
3. Rust test gaps: nothing checks that the 0x00 refusal FINs the response stream, and there's no handle_stream-level case showing that 0x03 closes the session. JS covers both now, and Rust still only covers decode_msg returning InvalidValue.

CI on de49d4cb was all green. CI on 5a33713e is still queued.

Verdict: MERGE once CI is green.

Reviewed commit: 5a33713

The prior P2 is fixed: js/net/src/ietf/subscribe_namespace.ts:164–168 reads the full varint, rejects values above 0x02 before narrowing, and preserves ProtocolViolation through dispatch. The hand-encoded regressions in connection.test.ts:225–265 cover 0x03 and 2^53 on both drafts 16 and 17. Removing the completed namespace-stream quest after #5020 is consistent with the implementation.

No new actionable correctness findings in the PR-specific delta from de49d4c, after separating the main merge. Overall direction remains sound. The independent follow-up already records the remaining non-blocking wording and Rust test-coverage notes: #5032 (comment); no duplicate inline comments added.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the delta and relevant codec, dispatch, tests and current PR diff. No tests or interop executed independently. Current-head CI is still queued/in progress.

Follow-ups from the review of 5a33713e, in c9f2093:

1. Subscribe Options above 0x02: the Rust and JS comments now say the drafts define only 0x00 through 0x02 and closing the session is our refusal, and doc/concept/standard.md says so.
2. The solicit draft now says the receiver holds one advertisement until both are withdrawn, and the new changelog bullet matches.
3. Rust now checks at handle_stream that 0x03 errors dispatch (closing the session) on d16 and d17. I skipped a FIN check for the 0x00 refusal: the test transport doesn't record FINs, and that path shares reject_namespace_request with the existing SUBSCRIBE_TRACKS refusal.

CodeRabbit's changelog finding is addressed in 0e28ffa (the draft is published as -00).

Automated follow-up review of c9f2093e (re-review after a push; last Grok review was on 5a33713e, #issuecomment-6051523456)

What changed since 5a33713e, apart from two main merges that didn't touch the PR's own hunks:

• 0e28ffa2 and 00dd4d8b reword the solicit draft (drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-solicit.md:107 and its changelog line) so the receiver holds one advertisement "until both are withdrawn". That fixes item 2.
• 00dd4d8b describes values above 0x02 as our refusal rather than "malformed", in both the Rust doc comment on legacy_rejects_unknown_subscribe_options (rs/moq-net/src/ietf/subscribe_namespace.rs:574) and the JS test comment (js/net/src/ietf/connection.test.ts:225). It also adds a sentence to doc/concept/standard.md:189-190 saying any other Subscribe Options value closes the session. That fixes item 1.
• 00dd4d8b adds a handle_stream-level case to subscribe_namespace_honors_subscribe_options (rs/moq-net/src/ietf/publisher.rs:4138-4157): Subscribe Options 0x03 on d16 and d17 has to make dispatch return Err, which closes the session. The hand-encoded bodies match SubscribeNamespaceLegacy::encode_msg, where the d17 Required Request ID delta sits right after the Request ID. That fixes half of item 3.

Non-blocking

1. The new case only asserts .is_err(), so it would still pass if the body stopped decoding for some other reason, like a layout slip that yields WrongSize or a different DecodeError. That's how the test would quietly stop covering the options check. Matching Err(Error::Decode(DecodeError::InvalidValue)) would pin it. So would sending the same bytes with 0x01 and expecting Ok.
2. Still open from item 3: no Rust test checks that the 0x00 (PUBLISH-only) refusal FINs the response stream. The existing case checks that the task finishes and that a REQUEST_ERROR is written, but not the FIN. JS covers this.

CI on c9f2093e is still pending.

Verdict: MERGE once CI is green.

Reviewed commit: c9f2093

No new actionable correctness findings in the PR-specific delta since 5a33713, after separating the main merges. The prior full-width JS option-validation fix remains intact. The new Rust cases at rs/moq-net/src/ietf/publisher.rs:4138–4157 exercise rejection of 0x03 through dispatch on drafts 16 and 17; their hand-encoded layouts match the decoder.

Overall direction remains sound. The Solicit wording now describes withdrawal after both advertisements end, and the changelog records it. The independent follow-up already notes the non-blocking opportunities to assert the exact Rust decode error and response FIN: #5032 (comment). No duplicate inline comments added.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the delta and relevant codec/dispatch context; no tests or interop run independently. Current-head Check CI is still queued; this is not a merge-readiness determination.

• Draft-16/17 Subscribe Options are honored: 0x00 refused NOT_SUPPORTED, 0x01 and 0x02 get NAMESPACE (0x02 is discovery only, maintainer 2026-10-08), any other value closes the session. Draft-18+ always gets NAMESPACE.
• The solicit draft says a namespace heard both ways is one advertisement until both are withdrawn, with a changelog entry since -00.

Merge summary

• Merged main twice (ef633aa). Only conflict: quest/m0/README.md, where each side had already deleted its own finished quest's line (dial-split-horizon from fix(net): give an anonymous dial its own hop #5025, ietf-namespace-stream here). Resolution drops both. No code conflicts.
• Kept settled decisions: Subscribe Options 0x00 refused NOT_SUPPORTED, 0x01 and 0x02 get NAMESPACE discovery, > 0x02 is a protocol violation, draft-18+ always gets NAMESPACE. quest/m0/ietf-namespace-stream.md stays deleted.
• Checks on the merged head: cargo nextest across the workspace and bun test in js/net pass, and so does just test interop --all. In just check, only three moq-uring worker tests failed: io_uring setup hit this machine's shared RLIMIT_MEMLOCK under load, which is unrelated.
• Review: the OpenAI review of c9f2093 still applies, since only clean main merges came after it.
