quest: plan pipelined SUBSCRIBE and FETCH

[kixelated]

Problem

On moq-lite 05+, both the Rust and JS subscribers send TRACK, wait for TRACK_INFO, and only then open SUBSCRIBE:

• Rust: TrackServeRun::poll waits in rs/moq-net/src/lite/subscriber.rs:4144.
• JS: #openSubscribe waits in js/net/src/lite/subscriber.ts:704.

Each relay's upstream session does the same, so first data waits an extra round trip per hop. The draft already allows opening both streams concurrently, and no SUBSCRIBE field needs TRACK_INFO. The first FETCH has the same wait (formerly quest/m2/pipeline-fetch-info.md).

Quests

• New questline quest/m1/pipeline-requests/README.md:
  • [M] lazy-handles.md: a bare Rust track::Consumer sends nothing and counts as no demand until it queries or subscribes, like JS. Lands before subscribe.md.
  • [L] subscribe.md: subscribers open TRACK and SUBSCRIBE together in Rust and JS, at every hop.
  • [L] fetch.md: moved from quest/m2/pipeline-fetch-info.md. It's now unconditional and follows the line's shared rules.
• The relay front's splice gate stays inside fetch.md, because subscription demand already reaches a copy before it is spliced (model/origin.rs Action::Query).

Decisions (paper trail)

Goal: a subscriber sends TRACK and SUBSCRIBE together at every hop; legacy serial peers and lite-03/04 keep working.

• ✅ Yes
• Viewer only
• Also FETCH (taken anyway, see below)

#5053 (holds demand across TRACK and SUBSCRIBE):

• ✅ Merge it first; pipelining builds on it
• Fold it into pipelining
• Close it

Split:

• ✅ A questline. Proposed as 3 parts; it landed as 2, with the front gate inside FETCH (see Quests).
• One quest
• JS then Rust

FETCH:

• ✅ Same treatment, in this line, unconditional (the maintainer: "same for FETCH too")

Milestone:

• ✅ m1
• m0

Groups that arrive before TRACK_INFO:

• ✅ Left unread in QUIC
• Buffered in memory, capped

TRACK fails while SUBSCRIBE is live:

• ✅ The subscription fails and SUBSCRIBE is reset
• Fall back

Rust max-age clamp from TRACK_INFO:

• ✅ Dropped (narrowed): only the max age sent on the wire stops being clamped by TRACK_INFO; the local cache ceiling, per-reader lateness budget, and drift check stay, and accepting TRACK_INFO never emits a SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE
• SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE after TRACK_INFO

Publisher TRACK_INFO priority:

• ✅ Above the track's groups, in this line
• Not needed

Legacy proof:

• ✅ Mixed-mode tests in Rust and JS
• Also gate on wire-compat (test: compare moq-lite wire with published releases #4728)

This reverses #5053's "not pipelining" decision. #5053 has merged and deleted its quest, so subscribe.md builds on it without a Required link.

Pre-accept state (from review):

• ✅ Each subscription gets a pending state before accept in both stacks; a failed TRACK rejects the request and the origin fails over. Sized [L].

Datagrams before TRACK_INFO:

• ✅ Dropped (they can't wait unread in QUIC)

Bare Rust track::Consumer (from #5053's open options):

• ✅ Lazy, like JS (fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 option 3; query interest made visible at the front)
• Query-visible demand only (fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 option 2)
• Keep as merged (fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 option 1)

Placement of the lazy-handle quest:

• ✅ In pipeline-requests (m1), before subscribe.md
• Standalone
• m0

Impact

Quest files only. lazy-handles.md plans a track::Consumer demand semantics change (documented); no wire change. quest check passes.

Automated review of 8ff24f61 (quest-only: new quest/m1/pipeline-requests/ line, FETCH quest moved from m2)

I checked the claims against main (692234da) and #5053's diff. Most of them hold: TrackServeRun::poll waits on info.poll_fetch (rs/moq-net/src/lite/subscriber.rs:3996), and #openSubscribe awaits #trackInfo (js/net/src/lite/subscriber.ts:693). Action::Query subscribes demand to the copy before its info resolves (model/origin.rs:2546-2553). The draft says MAY at line 477 and SHOULD at line 508. #5053's Interests::charge already shares one slot whichever of TRACK and SUBSCRIBE arrives first, so the session cap isn't a problem here. No stale pipeline-fetch-info.md links remain, and CI is green.

Blocking

1. Dropping max_age_bound() would remove more than the SUBSCRIBE clamp (subscribe.md, Decisions, third bullet). track.rs:664 doesn't only bound what goes on the wire. It also takes the minimum with broadcast.cache_duration, the local ceiling, which has nothing to do with TRACK_INFO. It feeds every aggregate (Producer::subscription and poll_subscription_changed at track.rs:2108/2126, Request::subscription at 4589), the per-reader lateness budget (track.rs:3542), and the drift check (track.rs:3721). If an implementer follows the quest literally, readers lose the cache ceiling and the publisher's max-age bound on lateness and drift. There's a related catch: a SUBSCRIBE built before accept reads max_age_bound() with info == None. Accepting then changes the aggregate, and that change produces the SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE the quest rejected anyway. Fix: narrow the decision. Keep max_age_bound for local lateness, drift, and the cache ceiling. Only the max delay that goes on the wire in SUBSCRIBE and SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE should leave out the publisher's max_age, and the aggregate change on accept must not emit an update.

Non-blocking

2. The plan doesn't say how a subscription runs before accept, and today both stacks need an accepted producer to route groups.

   • Rust: ServeLoop::new calls request.accept(info) (subscriber.rs:4200-4215), and Producer.info is fixed at accept (track.rs:4555). begin_subscription and prepare_establish take &mut track::Producer (request_start and idle_newest) and register TrackEntry { producer, timescale, .. } (subscriber.rs:3703-3735). The group-header path then calls receive_group and set_live on that producer right away (subscriber.rs:815-830). An id with no entry gets Error::Cancel, so the stream is dropped, not left unread.
   • JS: runGroup returns silently for a known-but-unregistered id (subscriber.ts:1116-1121). It also calls track.writeGroup before it waits on the timescale (1139 vs 1141-1152).

   So "groups stay unread in QUIC" needs a pending state for each subscription in both stacks. SUBSCRIBE would be driven from track::Request::subscription() before accept. An entry registered under the id before SUBSCRIBE is written would hold the timescale and producer as deferred values. A group stream that arrives early would park after decoding its header and resume on accept. Please put that in the Facts and Decisions; [M] looks light for it in two languages.

   The TRACK-failure rule also depends on this. Today a failed TRACK_INFO calls request.reject(err) so the origin fails over to another source (subscriber.rs:4006-4012). That still works only if the request hasn't been accepted yet. Saying "rejects the request; the origin fails over as today" would be more precise than "fails the subscription with TRACK's error".

3. The README's shared rule doesn't match subscribe.md for datagrams. The README says data that arrives before the info "stays unread in QUIC". Datagrams can't wait unread, and subscribe.md (rightly) drops them. One clause in the README would fix it.

4. The Facts are pinned to 4a79178d2, but fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 (still open) rewrites lite/subscriber.rs, model/track.rs, and js/net/src/lite/subscriber.ts. The cited lines will move once it lands. That's fine since the quest says it starts after fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053, but it's worth re-pinning when that merges.

Verdict: ITERATE. Narrow the max-age decision (1). It's also worth spelling out the pre-accept subscription state (2).

Walkthrough

The quest documentation adds plans for sending SUBSCRIBE and the first FETCH with track-info requests at each hop. It describes handling early data, info-request failures, and serial-peer compatibility. The plans also specify mixed-mode testing and timing measurements. Related quest notes update FETCH property details and FETCH-only demand information, and remove the first-FETCH item from the m2 Required list.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 931ee

This PR adds quest plans, not protocol implementation. The reviewed plans retain the identified max-age and Draft-17 compatibility constraints, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Automated follow-up review of 94c5fb41 (re-review after the push from d1bfc8f2; the only new commit is 94c5fb41, quest-only)

This push narrows the max-age decision, makes #5053's held TRACK stream a Required quest, and cross-links ranges, Live, max age, and FETCH_OK properties. I checked it against main (b10ebc29). Every new link resolves, #4974 is merged, and ietf/subscriber.rs:1776-1792 confirms the TRACK_STATUS claims (draft-17 still SUBSCRIBEs, as fetch-ok-properties.md's "SUBSCRIBE_OK or TRACK_STATUS_OK" implies). Quest CI passes; Check and Test are still pending.

Earlier findings

• Improve readme #1 (blocking): fixed. The decision now drops only the aggregate's clamp. Per-reader lateness (is_expired, track.rs:3542) and drift (poll_drift, track.rs:3721) clamp the reader's own max_delay with max_age_bound(), so readers keep both the publisher's max age and the local cache_duration ceiling. With the aggregate unclamped, accepting no longer changes it, so there's no implicit SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE. The "stale under the smaller budget iff stale under either" argument holds as long as staleness stays monotone in the budget, which both today's media-time rule and cache-max-age's either-clock rule are.
• Add server-side ABR and throttling (to test) #2 (pre-accept subscription state): still open. Nothing in the Facts or Decisions covers routing groups before accept yet (TrackEntry needs an accepted Producer, an unknown id gets Error::Cancel, and JS runGroup returns silently). The TRACK-failure bullet still says "fails the subscription with TRACK's error" rather than "rejects the request so the origin fails over."
• Opening handshake failed. QUIC_TLS_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN #3 (README says datagrams stay unread): still open. The README isn't touched.
• Bump golang.org/x/text from 0.3.7 to 0.3.8 in /cert #4 (Facts pinned to 4a79178d2): still open. That's fine until fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 lands.

Non-blocking (new)

1. fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 deletes quest/m0/track-stream-demand.md (its diff removes all 89 lines, since the quest is done). This PR edits that file's "Not pipelining" bullet and adds it to subscribe.md's ## Required. Whichever lands second has to deal with it. If this lands first, fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 hits a modify/delete conflict, and the resolution is to delete the file. Either way, once fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 merges, the Required link to /quest/m0/track-stream-demand.md is dead, and the "starts after fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053" sentence covers that dependency anyway. Consider dropping the edit to track-stream-demand.md and making the Required entry point at fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 itself, or removing it when fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 merges.
2. The bullet still starts with "Drop the Rust max_age_bound() clamp," but max_age_bound() stays, because the read paths call it. Name the aggregate sites instead (snapshot_subscription / poll_combined_changed via Producer::subscription, poll_subscription_changed, and Request::subscription, at track.rs:2108/2126/2579/4589/4603). Also mention is_expired alongside poll_drift as a read path that keeps the clamp. Two side effects are worth one line in the quest. First, the cache_duration ceiling also leaves the wire, so a relay will advertise upstream a max delay longer than it keeps (harmless, since its readers still clamp locally). Second, the Producer::subscription doc (track.rs:2103-2105) and the comment in max_age_bounds_the_budget both promise the aggregate is clamped and need rewording.

Verdict: MERGE. The blocking max-age issue is fixed. Spelling out the pre-accept state (#2) and handling the #5053 file deletion are still worth doing.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Define pending subscription state for early group streams.

The plan promises that pre-TRACK_INFO group streams remain unread, but the current paths discard them. Rust decodes the group header and then cancels an unregistered ID. JavaScript returns from runGroup when the ID has no registered entry. Define pending-ID retention for both stacks, including promotion after successful registration and cancellation on rejection, reset, or TRACK failure. Keep this separate from the max_age wire-budget decision.

Suggested fix

- Both streams open at once. Group streams that arrive before TRACK_INFO stay
- unread in QUIC until it lands (flow control bounds them; no buffering, no
- copies). Datagrams that beat it are dropped, as JS does today. Rejected:
- buffering decoded bytes in memory.

max_age_bound() also limits local subscription timing and aggregate state. Do not remove those local bounds. Exclude the publisher-derived maximum age only from the delay sent in SUBSCRIBE and SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE. Ensure that recalculating the aggregate after TRACK_INFO does not emit an update.

Keep the draft-17 FETCH-only fallback.

This statement needs a draft-specific condition. In draft-17, TRACK_STATUS does not describe track properties, so the FETCH-only fallback uses SUBSCRIBE. State that TRACK_STATUS supplies Largest only when TrackStatusOk::describes_track indicates that it provides track information; retain the SUBSCRIBE fallback otherwise.

Based on learnings, the draft-17 fallback uses SUBSCRIBE because TRACK_STATUS does not describe track properties.

Re the automated review of 8ff24f61, the maintainer's decisions are in c76a8e9:

1. Max age: narrowed. Only the max age SUBSCRIBE and SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE carry on the wire stops being clamped by TRACK_INFO. The local cache ceiling, per-reader lateness budget, and drift check keep max_age_bound(), and accepting TRACK_INFO never emits a SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE.
2. Pre-accept state: added to Facts and Decisions. Each subscription gets a pending entry before accept in both stacks, early group streams park after their header, and a failed TRACK rejects the request so the origin fails over. Resized to [L].
3. Datagrams: the README's shared rule now says they are dropped until the info lands.
4. Re-pinned to 11ee77d5d now that fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 has merged; the now-satisfied Required link to its quest is gone.

This push closes the earlier open items, takes #5053's merge (quest deleted, Required link dropped, facts re-pinned to 11ee77d5d), excludes draft-17 from the pipelined FETCH goal, and adds lazy-handles.md ahead of subscribe.md. I re-checked the new and edited claims against main (11ee77d5d). Quest CI is green; Check and Test are still pending (quest-only diff).

Earlier findings

• Add server-side ABR and throttling (to test) #2 (pre-accept subscription state): fixed. Facts now state that both stacks route groups only to an accepted subscription (subscriber.rs:816 cancels an unknown id; JS runGroup at subscriber.ts:1145 returns without an entry for a past id). Decisions add a pending entry before accept, park early group streams after the header, and reject the request on a failed TRACK so the origin fails over. Size is [L].
• Opening handshake failed. QUIC_TLS_CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN #3 (README datagrams): fixed. Shared rules now say streamed data stays unread and datagrams are dropped until the info lands.
• Bump golang.org/x/text from 0.3.7 to 0.3.8 in /cert #4 (Facts pin / fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 Required): fixed. Pin is 11ee77d5d (current main, fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053's merge). quest/m0/track-stream-demand.md is gone from the tip; subscribe.md's Required no longer points at it.
• Max-age site naming (prior non-blocking): fixed enough. The bullet keeps max_age_bound() for is_expired / poll_drift, keeps the local cache ceiling on the wire value, and calls out the docs to reword (Producer::subscription, max_age_bounds_the_budget). Verified the read-path clamps at track.rs:3543 and 3722.

New / still worth a glance (non-blocking)

1. fetch.md Goal vs Plan on draft-17. The Goal still says the first FETCH pipelines "on moq-lite and moq-transport" with no draft carve-out, while the Plan and the line README correctly leave draft-17 serial (FETCH_OK timescale "read but not surfaced" matches ietf/fetch.rs:378-380). One Goal sentence matching the README would avoid an implementer over-scoping draft-17.
2. lazy-handles.md looks right. It correctly names fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053's chosen option 1 and switches to option 3; the gap comment to remove is at lite/subscriber.rs:4528-4530 on 11ee77d5d; Consumer's rustdoc today still says holding counts toward Demand (track.rs:2737-2738); moq-transcode's idle-handle change from fix(net): hold demand across a subscription's TRACK and SUBSCRIBE #5053 is already on main. Sequencing it as Required before subscribe.md is the right order.
3. JS unknown-id fact is slightly loose. runGroup drops a past unknown id, but throws when group.subscribe >= #subscribeNext (subscriber.ts:1147-1152). Does not change the pending-state plan.

Verdict: MERGE. All earlier open items are addressed; the new lazy-handle quest matches main and #5053's paper trail. The draft-17 Goal wording is the only polish left.

Merged origin/main (3ce2159a5) in 643dd3c and addressed the automated review of 931eeb72 in 1fc56b5.

Conflicts:

• quest/m1/README.md: kept the Pipelined requests entry and dropped Browser interop cells, which main deleted.
• quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/ietf.md: kept "since feat(moq-net): IETF fetch-only demand uses TRACK_STATUS, and properties are asked once #4974" (feat(moq-net): IETF fetch-only demand uses TRACK_STATUS, and properties are asked once #4974 is merged) and dropped the link to ietf-peer-fetch-old.md, which fix(net): serve held groups to a cross-relay FETCH on any peer link #5086 completed and deleted.

Pinned facts re-checked on current main: lite/subscriber.rs and js/net/src/lite/subscriber.ts are unchanged since 11ee77d5d, so the line pins still hold. max_age_bound(), is_expired, poll_drift, Action::Query, front.rs track_info, resume::Fetching, TrackIo::splice, and the unsurfaced draft-17 FETCH_OK timescale are all still as described. No quest landed today overlaps lazy-handles.md. quest check passes.

Review items:

1. fetch.md Goal now excludes draft-17, matching the Plan and the line README.
2. The JS fact now says runGroup drops a past unknown id, and an id it has not allocated yet is a protocol error.

Merged origin/main (f8215bc47) in 724bcf0 for /quest-merge.

Conflicts, aligned with main:

• quest/m1/fetch-ok-properties.md: feat(ietf): serve draft-20 FETCH within one group #4971 landed and deleted the Draft-20 FETCH quest, so its Required link and "once draft-20 FETCH is served" clause are gone. Kept this PR's "since feat(moq-net): IETF fetch-only demand uses TRACK_STATUS, and properties are asked once #4974" wording (feat(moq-net): IETF fetch-only demand uses TRACK_STATUS, and properties are asked once #4974 merged) and the Related link to the pipelined FETCH quest.
• quest/m1/subscribe-ranges/ietf.md: dropped the Draft-20 FETCH Required link; kept the Related link to the pipelined FETCH quest.

Re-verified the pinned facts on the merged tree: subscriber.rs:4144 (info.poll_fetch), :816 (cancel on unknown id), :4528 comment, subscriber.ts:704 and :1145, model/front.rs track_info, TrackIo::splice, max_age_bound(), the draft-17 FETCH_OK timescale note in ietf/fetch.rs, and run_fetch_stream's empty FETCH_OK properties all still hold. Refreshed the line numbers in the PR body. quest check passes.

Review: CodeRabbit reviewed through 931eeb72 with no actionable comments; since then only main merges and the small text fixes in 1fc56b5. Grok's last verdict was MERGE.
