fix(net): accept an End of Group status on a marked subgroup stream

[kixelated]

Completes End of Group status (quest file deleted here).

Summary

imquic sends both the END_OF_GROUP header bit and an explicit End of Group (0x3) status object on d16, d18 and d21. moq-dev refused that status whenever the header bit was set (Unsupported in Rust, Unsupported object status: 3 in JS), which aborted the group and lost its last object. d16 §10.4.2 only says the bit lets a subscriber infer the group's end at FIN; nothing forbids sending the status too.

• rs/moq-net: GroupIngest accepts 0x3 regardless of the header bit and finishes the group there, as END_OF_TRACK already does. The now-unused has_end field is gone.
• js/net: Frame.decode returns the end-of-group frame for 0x3 regardless of hasEnd. The status-0 quirk on unmarked streams is left for JS papercuts, whose "lands first" note is removed.
• Tests (Rust and JS): a stream with the END_OF_GROUP bit, objects 0..4, then a 0x3 status at object 5 delivers a finished (not aborted) group with five frames. Both fail without the fix. The Rust test reads synchronously so the old behaviour fails fast instead of hanging.

Triaged from Fastly's follow-up on #5020.

Public API and wire impact

Public API: none. Wire: none (we accept a valid peer encoding we used to refuse; what we emit is unchanged).

Checks

• just check: lint, JS, quest, drill, markdown, toml, shell, bench, and nix flake check pass. The rs test step stopped on four moq-uring worker tests failing with ENOMEM from RLIMIT_MEMLOCK (8 MiB, shared by every process of the user on this host), so I ran the affected crates' tests separately without moq-uring: all pass, apart from two wall-clock network tests (bursts_cross_a_flapping_peer::impaired, quic_winning_opens_one_session) that each failed once under load and pass on rerun.
• just test interop --all: all checks passed.

Quest outcome: implemented as planned, no open decisions. Left as a draft for review.

Suggested follow-ups (not filed):

• The four moq-uring worker tests fail with ENOMEM whenever concurrent sessions on one host exhaust the shared RLIMIT_MEMLOCK, which stops just check before the later modules run. Worth making them skip or report clearly when the limit is exhausted, or making dispatch.sh keep going past a failed module.
• bursts_cross_a_flapping_peer::impaired and moq-tokio connection::tests::quic_winning_opens_one_session each failed once under heavy load and passed on rerun; both run on the wall clock.

Walkthrough

JavaScript frame decoding and Rust group ingestion now accept an explicit END_OF_GROUP status when the stream header also marks the group’s end. Tests cover this case and verify that the group closes normally after preserving its frames. Related quest documentation and a decision note were removed or updated.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 34864

Malformed marked streams can be reported as successful while trailing objects are discarded in both clients. Reject trailing data; this is a narrow protocol-handling risk rather than a failure for well-formed streams.

Grok review of fc5e0e82

Small, well-scoped fix. Rust GroupIngest and JS Frame.decode now accept an explicit End of Group (0x3) status regardless of the header's END_OF_GROUP bit, matching how END_OF_TRACK is already handled. Removing has_end is safe since its only reader was this branch. Both new tests (Rust and JS) exercise the marked-stream case and would fail on the old code. The quest file deletion has its README and papercuts-js.md back-references cleaned up.

No blocking issues.

Non-blocking:

• JS object.ts: on unmarked streams, status 0 still means end of group (the moq-rs quirk). That's deliberately left for JS papercuts, which is fine, but papercuts-js.md no longer mentions that this branch was just reshaped, so whoever picks it up should re-read the new ordering (0x3 handled before the hasEnd split).
• It might be worth adding one more test: a marked stream that has a 0x3 status followed by trailing bytes or an extra object before FIN. That would pin down whether Finished(Ended::Group) rejects or ignores data after the status. That's existing behaviour, but the path is now reachable on marked streams too.
• CI was still pending when I reviewed this.

Verdict: MERGE (once CI is green)

Grok review at 34864c5d

Small, correct fix: an explicit End of Group (0x3) status is now accepted on a stream whose header already sets END_OF_GROUP, in both rs/moq-net (GroupIngest Status arm) and js/net (Frame.decode), matching how END_OF_TRACK is already handled. Removing has_end is safe since this was its only use. Both new tests exercise the exact imquic shape (objects 0..4, then 0x3 at 5) and check the group finishes rather than aborts. The deleted quest file's only references (quest/m0/README.md, quest/m1/papercuts-js.md) are cleaned up here.

Blocking: none.

Non-blocking

• Objects arriving after the 0x3 status on a marked stream: worth confirming IngestPhase::Finished(Ended::Group) treats further bytes before FIN the same way as on an unmarked stream (a one-line test would pin it).
• JS: 0x3 now short-circuits before the hasEnd branch, so it returns an end frame on unmarked streams too, which is unchanged behaviour; fine, just noting the status-0 quirk stays deferred to papercuts-js as the body says.
• CI was still pending when reviewed.

Verdict: MERGE (once CI is green)

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: 34864c5

No actionable bugs found. Accepting explicit End of Group status independently of the header bit is a narrow, consistent fix in both Rust and JS; removing the unused Rust flag avoids redundant state. The regressions check that all five payloads survive and the group finishes cleanly. Existing unmarked status-0 compatibility behavior stays unchanged and remains a separate follow-up.

Verification: GitHub-only source review of all six changed files and surrounding ingest/decode/completion paths. No local builds, tests, or independent peer interoperability runs performed; this does not claim tests passed.

Merge summary for 34864c5d:

• Merged main to clear the conflict in quest/m0/README.md: both completed quests (End of Group status, Demand lost wake) are dropped from Required. No code conflicts; moq-net and js/net ietf tests pass locally after the merge.
• CI is green. The OpenAI review of this head has no findings; Grok says MERGE.
• Declined CodeRabbit's two findings (reject data after a 0x3 status): the marked case now matches the existing unmarked and END_OF_TRACK handling, and rejecting trailing data is a separate behaviour change across every status path. Suggested as a follow-up.
