fix(net): an epoch update re-keys a dynamic claim, carrying held requests over

[kixelated]

Completes quest/m0/broadcast-epoch/dynamic-epoch.md.

Problem

When Dynamic::update (Rust) or Dynamic.update (JS) changes a claim's epoch, the docs did not match the code. The Rust doc said the served broadcasts end, which is false. The JS doc only said that another epoch names another instance. Nothing tested the full path through a relay.

The two languages also disagreed about a request that was still waiting when the epoch changed. In Rust, the requester failed with Unroutable. In JS, a local request asked the handler again, but a session's demand came back empty.

Change

• Held requests carry over (the decision below). A request still waiting on the handler when the epoch changes is asked again under the new epoch, so it does not fail. A request pinned to the old epoch is still refused.
  • Rust: ServeState::renew still releases held requests and forgets the served cache, and it now counts renewals in a shared atomic. In serve_front, the front records the count when it asks and compares it when the answer arrives. If a renewal happened in between, the front asks again instead of taking the answer or refusal (rs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs).
  • Rust: renew now returns the released requests, and Dynamic::update refuses them after it drops the origin table lock. That way a woken front never re-enters a lock the updater holds. Before, the refusal was written under both locks.
  • JS: ServeState counts resets. #demand loops and asks again when a reset releases its request. Before, it returned undefined. A pass registers again after a reset and only uncounts its own registration.
  • The release is a counter, not an epoch comparison, so it catches three cases: an answer or refusal that landed just before the change, a change and back (A to B to A), and an answer still in flight (Codex, CodeRabbit, and OpenAI reviews).
• The handler's late answer to a released request is never served under the new epoch and never cached. The served cache is still forgotten on the epoch change, so a re-request never gets the old answer.
• Both Dynamic.update docs now describe the contract:
  • A same-epoch re-price is an update, and every handle survives.
  • Another epoch, or none, is a Restart downstream, and a re-request never joins the old instance.
  • Requests still waiting carry over, and requests pinned to the old epoch are refused.
  • Broadcasts the claim already served keep their open subscriptions. The handler closes them if it wants them gone.
  • Route selection still applies.
• Tests:
  • Rust held_request_across_an_epoch_change replaces a_pending_answer_does_not_outlive_its_epoch and runs both orders: the old answer lands after the change (a_request_held_across_an_epoch_change_is_asked_again) or just before it (an_answer_before_an_epoch_change_is_asked_again). In both, the unpinned request resolves under the new epoch, the pinned one is refused, and the cache holds only the new answer.
  • a_request_held_across_an_epoch_round_trip_is_asked_again (Rust) and "demand held across an epoch round trip still asks again" (JS) cover A to B to A. a_refusal_before_an_epoch_change_is_asked_again (Rust) covers a refusal that lands just before the change. "a demand refused across an epoch change does not lose the carried demand's answer" (JS) covers the waiter count.
  • JS: two tests replace the refusal tests. "demand held across an epoch change asks again, unless it named the old epoch" covers this for demand. "a request held across an epoch change asks again and never takes the old handler's answer" covers it for request.
  • rs/moq-net/tests/restart.rs adds dynamic_epoch_{lite06,lite07,ietf19,ietf22}. Each runs P -> R -> V through A to B, A to none, and none to B. Each checks three things:
    • A same-epoch re-price delivers no Restart and keeps the broadcast without asking the handler again.
    • The epoch change restarts V (ANNOUNCE_RESTART on lite-07, END plus START elsewhere), and the open subscription stays on the old answer.
    • A re-request asks the handler again and reads only the new answer. On lite-07 it also reports the new epoch.
  • dynamic_epoch_second_route_keeps_winning: a second claim still at A keeps the epoch when the first drops it. No restart is delivered, and the open subscription resumes through the second claim.
  • JS origin.test.ts mirrors the relay checks for the three transitions, plus the second-claim case.

Mutation checks:

• Rust: without the renewal check in serve_front, the held, round-trip, and refusal-before tests fail. With ServeState::renew disabled, the four relay tests fail with "the old answer was served again".
• JS: without the #demand change, both demand tests fail. With the old unconditional uncount, the waiter-count test fails.

Decisions

The quest text (2026-10-07) says "the origin's own served broadcasts and pending requests carry over". On main, since #4904 and still after #5087, held requests are refused and the served cache is forgotten. The decision posed on this PR:

1. Keep the current behavior: held requests are refused.
2. ✅ Carry pending requests over, but still forget the served cache. (Chosen by the maintainer.)
3. Carry both over. A re-request after A to B would get A's cached answer, which contradicts the quest's own regression.

Settled while implementing option 2, by the iterate agent following the recommended path:

• A held request's late answer is dropped, not served. Option 2 as first written would hand that answer out stamped with the new epoch. Keeping the epoch it was asked under does not help: the requester would resolve onto an instance that is already replaced, which the never-stitch rule from the feat(net)!: restart announce consumers on a replaced broadcast, keep subscriptions sticky #5087 review ends with an error. So the front asks the handler again instead. It already did this for an answer that lands just before the change (an_answer_before_an_epoch_change_is_asked_again, on main). The cost is that the handler is asked twice for a path that was in flight during the change. No bytes from A ever reach a requester that resolves under B, so nothing is stitched.

Impact

• Public API: no signatures change. Behavior: in Rust, a request waiting on a Dynamic handler across an epoch change now resolves under the new epoch instead of failing with Unroutable. In JS, a session's demand in the same window resolves instead of coming back empty. A request pinned to the old epoch is still refused in both.
• Wire: none.

Validation

• cargo test -p moq-net: passed.
• bun test src/origin.test.ts: 92 passed.
• cargo fmt, cargo clippy -p moq-net --all-targets, tsc, and biome on js/net: clean. The full just check is left to CI.

Follow-ups

• On restart, JS ends the request handle (unroutable), while Rust keeps the resolved broadcast. Open track subscriptions survive in both. This is worth one line in doc/concept if the asymmetry is intended.

Quest outcome: the docs and regressions are done, and no source fix was needed. One decision is left for the maintainer, and the PR stays a draft until it is made.

The quest text says pending and served state carry over an epoch change. On main, since #4904 and still after #5087, the code refuses held requests with Unroutable and forgets the served cache, in both Rust and JS. This PR documents and tests that behavior.

Recommended: keep it. It matches never-stitch, and it is the only reading under which the quest's own "no cached group from the old one" regression passes. The other two options are in the description.

Decision: option 2. Held requests carry over an epoch change, and the served cache is still forgotten.

One refinement while implementing it: the handler's late answer to a held request is dropped, and the request asks the handler again under the new epoch. Serving that answer stamped with the new epoch would mislabel it. Keeping the old epoch is no better, because the requester would resolve onto a replaced instance, which never-stitch (#5087 review) ends with an error. The front already re-asks when an answer lands just before the change, so this extends the same rule to an answer that lands after it. A request pinned to the old epoch is still refused.

• Rust: in serve_front, a refusal for an instance the route has left no longer stands. Before, an in-flight request failed with Unroutable; now it resolves under the new epoch.
• JS: #demand re-resolves when an epoch change releases its request. Before, it returned undefined. A local request already re-asked.

Cost: a path that was in flight during the change is asked of the handler twice.

Walkthrough

JavaScript and Rust origin handling now treats an epoch change as a publisher-instance change. Pending requests retry against the current route, and answers from the old instance are discarded. Requests pinned to the old epoch are refused, while already-served broadcasts remain active. Same-epoch repricing preserves existing handles. Tests cover request retries, downstream restarts, and cases where another claim still serves the selected epoch.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0e9e6

Pending requests can retry after an epoch change without the identified waiter-accounting failure. No identified issue remains that should delay merging after normal checks.

Makes a request held across a Dynamic epoch change ask the handler again under the new epoch (Rust via stale() in serve_front's refusal path, JS via re-resolving in #demand), while still refusing epoch-pinned requests and forgetting the served cache. Docs and the relay tests across lite06/07 and ietf19/22 match the contract. I found no blocking issues.

Non-blocking

• js/net/src/origin.ts #demand: the re-ask compares entry.route.peek().epoch !== asked. An A to B to A flip while the request is held gets released, but it reads as unchanged and returns undefined, so the requester gets the old empty result. Rust compares the instance it asked against the resolved route, so it doesn't share this. A per-release generation counter (or checking the release itself instead of the epoch) would close it.
• #demand re-enters itself on every release with no bound. That's fine in practice, but a handler whose route keeps flapping epochs grows the async chain one frame per flip. A loop would be cleaner than recursion.
• The handler gets asked twice for any path in flight during a change. That's documented as intended, but nothing tells the handler that its first answer was dropped. It may be worth a debug log so the double invocation isn't confusing in production.
• The asymmetry noted under Follow-ups (on restart, JS ends the request handle while Rust keeps the resolved broadcast) is still undocumented. A line in doc/concept would help before someone relies on either.
• CI hasn't reported yet.

The quest file removal leaves no dangling links (the README bullet is removed too).

Verdict: MERGE once CI is green.

Track resets instead of comparing the final epoch

When a demand remains pending across two epoch changes before its next microtask, such as A → B → A, the first reset removes its pending request, but this branch compares only the final epoch with asked. Since signal writes coalesce per microtask, the waiter observes A again and returns undefined instead of asking the handler again, so the session refuses a request that should carry over. Track a monotonically changing reset generation rather than the epoch value; the analogous Rust stale comparison has the same A → B → A blind spot.

Fixed in 3c08a6a, in both languages:

• JS: ServeState counts resets, and #demand compares that count rather than the epoch. #demand is also a loop now instead of recursing.
• Rust: an epoch change marks the pending request as released, and the front asks again on that flag, whatever epoch the route shows by then.

New regressions: a_request_held_across_an_epoch_round_trip_is_asked_again (Rust) and "demand held across an epoch round trip still asks again" (JS). Both fail without the fix.

(Written by Claude Opus 5.5)

Follow-up review after push (561e72e → 3c08a6a3)

The push makes an epoch release explicit: JS ServeState counts reset()s and Rust PendingBroadcast gets a released flag, so a request held across A→B→A is still asked again. New round-trip tests on both sides cover it.

Earlier findings

• Fixed: the JS #demand epoch compare that missed A→B→A (it now uses the reset counter).
• Fixed: unbounded recursion (it's now a loop with break).
• Improved: JS/Rust restart asymmetry, since both sides now key on an explicit release signal.
• Still open: a silent double handler ask (the stale accept is dropped without any log).

Non-blocking

• rs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs (Step::Resolved, Err arm): the !stale(...) guard was removed from standing. Released requests are now handled earlier, but a refusal from an instance the route left for a reason other than an epoch reset (route moved to another server, another publisher won the path) can now be marked standing and stick to requesters, when before it would have been asked again. Unless that's intended, keep !stale(&front, route, &asked, &resolved) && in this arm.
• JS #demand: server.resets !== resets treats any reset() as "ask again". If a reset ever happens alongside the server closing, the closed check comes first, so that case is fine. But resets that keep repeating will loop with no backoff. That's probably fine, just worth knowing.

Verdict: MERGE once CI is green, ideally after restoring the stale guard or explaining why it was dropped.

One P2 remains: JS waiter accounting can discard the replacement handler’s refusal (inline).

The independently reported epoch-roundtrip issue is addressed by the explicit Rust release flag and JS reset counter, with regressions in both languages. The iterative JS retry is also simpler than recursion. Carrying unresolved requests forward while discarding old answers is a sound direction; preserve waiter lifetimes across resets to finish it.

Verification: GitHub-only inspection of the full six-file diff and relevant surrounding code; no tests run locally. Exact-head CI is queued/running, so this is not a passing verification claim.

[P2] Keep old-demand cleanup from deleting the retry’s waiter count

Start an unpinned demand(path) before demand(path, A), then change the route from A to B while both wait. reset() clears demanding; the unpinned continuation starts its next loop iteration and registers a new count of 1, but the pinned continuation then throws and this old finally deletes that new registration. If the replacement handler subsequently calls reject(err), ServeState.reject sees no demanders and does not save the error, so the surviving unpinned demand returns undefined and the wire reports “not found” instead. Preserve active waiter accounting across resets, or bind cleanup to its registration generation. Add a regression with unpinned-first ordering and rejection of the replacement request; the current test starts pinned first and accepts it.

[kixelated]

Fixed in 7a001c7. After a reset, #demand registers again before it checks the queue, and its finally lowers the count only when no reset has happened since it registered. The new regression, "a demand refused across an epoch change does not lose the carried demand's answer", starts the unpinned demand first, refuses the pinned one, and rejects the replacement request. It fails without the fix.

Track releases after responses leave the request map

When a handler resolves or rejects immediately before Dynamic::update, ServeState::resolve has already removed its producer from requests, so this loop cannot set released. If the front has not polled yet, an old rejection is treated as standing for the new epoch and ends the held request instead of asking again; an old accepted response can likewise be served after an A → B → A round trip because stale sees only the final epoch. Fresh evidence beyond the prior round-trip finding is that resolve removes the channel before renew can mark it, so the release generation must remain observable on already-resolved channels too.

Fixed in 7a001c7. The released flag on the request is gone. ServeState now counts renewals; the front records the count when it asks and compares it when the answer arrives. A change between the two releases the request, whether the answer is still queued, landed just before the change, or the epoch came back.

The new regression is a_refusal_before_an_epoch_change_is_asked_again. It fails without the fix, along with the round-trip and held-request tests.

Automated follow-up review at 7a001c71 (since 561e72ed)

This push replaces the epoch comparison with a count of releases on both sides: Rust adds ServeState::renewals, which serve_front snapshots when it asks and compares when the answer lands, and JS adds ServeState.resets and turns #demand into a loop. The new tests cover a refusal that lands just before an epoch change (Rust) and an epoch-pinned demand refused while an unpinned one carries over (JS).

Earlier findings

• Fixed: the JS A to B to A miss. #demand now checks server.resets, not the epoch.
• Fixed: the unbounded recursion. It's a loop now.
• Fixed: the demanding double-decrement after a reset. The finally skips the decrement once resets moved.
• Still open: nothing logs that the handler's first answer was dropped, and the JS/Rust restart asymmetry is still undocumented.

Non-blocking

• js/net/src/origin.ts #demand: the inner loop checks server.rejected before the resets check. If a rejection is recorded just before reset() and reset() doesn't clear rejected for that path, the JS requester gets the old instance's refusal. Rust's new a_refusal_before_an_epoch_change_is_asked_again asks again in that case. Either clear rejected in reset(), or check resets first, and mirror the Rust test in JS.
• In Rust, released is now true for any answer the front takes after a renewal, including an Ok the handler gave before the change. That's what the comment intends, but it means one wasted accept per in-flight path on every epoch change. That's fine, just worth knowing.
• CI is still pending.

Verdict: MERGE once CI is green.

(Written by Grok)

[kixelated]

On the Grok follow-up at 7a001c71:

• JS rejected before resets: reset() already clears rejected (and demanding), so a refusal recorded before the change can't be read after it. The loop then sees resets move and asks again. No change.
• Logging the dropped first answer: declined. The re-ask is the documented contract, and the handler sees it as a second request for the path.
• The JS/Rust restart asymmetry is being planned separately.

Avoid reacquiring the lock from its inline wake

When an epoch changes while a dynamic request is pending under an inline executor, ServeState::renew writes the pending result while the caller still holds server.lock(), and dropping that channel guard wakes serve_front before the outer lock is released. The resumed task now reaches this added server.lock() call and blocks on the same non-reentrant lock, while the updater cannot release it until the wake returns, deadlocking the epoch update. Preserve the renewal generation without reacquiring the server lock from the awakened path, or defer waking until after that lock is released. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Fixed in 3508732. The renewal count is now a shared AtomicU64. renew bumps it before it releases any request, and the woken front reads it without taking the ServeState lock.

One thing is left and isn't new to this PR: under an inline executor, the woken front still re-selects through the origin table, and Dynamic::update holds that lock while it renews. main already took the same path, through standing() reading the table on the old refusal. Removing it would mean renewing after the table lock is released. That is a separate change, and I left it out here.

Automated follow-up review at 35087326 (since 7a001c71)

This push moves ServeState::renewals into an Arc<AtomicU64> that the front reads without the serve lock, and renew() now bumps it before releasing requests. That fixes a real deadlock risk: the release wakes the front while the updater still holds the ServeState lock, so the old server.lock().renewals read could block under an inline executor. Bumping first also means a woken front can't see the old count and miss the release. The Release/Acquire pairing is correct, and the release path's own synchronization would order it anyway.

Earlier findings

• Still open: the JS #demand loop checks server.rejected before resets, so a refusal recorded just before reset() can still reach the requester. This push only touches Rust.
• Still open: nothing logs that the handler's first answer was dropped, and the JS/Rust restart asymmetry is still undocumented.

Non-blocking

• rs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs around line 2617: drop(serve) was removed, so the guard now lives until the end of that match arm instead of being released before Upstream is built. That's harmless if nothing after it awaits or takes another lock. If that block grows, keep the explicit drop.
• No test covers the inline-executor deadlock. A test that renews while a front is parked on the pending request, run on a current-thread or inline executor, would stop this from coming back.
• CI is queued.

Verdict: MERGE once CI is green.

Follow-up to my review of 3c08a6a, excluding changes inherited from main.

Fixed: my waiter-accounting P2. js/net/src/origin.ts:1771–1783 re-registers after resets and only removes its own generation’s registration; origin.test.ts:2184–2203 covers the reported ordering and replacement rejection. No findings from my previous review remain open in the code.

The independent already-resolved response and serve-lock reacquisition findings are also addressed: Rust reads a shared atomic renewal counter, incremented before waking requests. The existing origin-table inline-wake limitation noted in the author’s reply remains separate.

No new actionable findings in the meaningful delta. Keep the iterative retry and explicit generation approach; the atomic avoids adding another lock dependency.

server.lock().renew();

Release the origin lock before waking renewed fronts

On an inline executor, an epoch update with a pending request can still deadlock here because update holds self.shared while renew resolves the pending channel; the awakened front handles the non-standing refusal with Action::Reselect, and select then calls shared.read() on that same non-reentrant lock. Fresh evidence beyond the prior lock finding is that the atomic counter removes the ServeState reacquisition but leaves this OriginState reacquisition, so defer the channel writes and wakes until the outer shared guard is dropped.

Fixed in 0e9e6db (the fix itself is the commit before the merge from main). ServeState::renew now returns the released requests instead of refusing them. Dynamic::update refuses them after it drops the origin table lock, so the woken front's select never re-enters that lock. The removal from the queue and the renewal count still happen under the lock, so a late answer can't slip through. There's no inline-executor harness in moq-net to regress this with.

Follow-up review after push — head 0e9e6dbd (last reviewed 35087326). Only real change is 983758a; the rest is a main merge.

The push moves the Unroutable refusal of released requests out of ServeState::renew and into AnnounceProducer::update after drop(shared) (rs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs ~L1993–2034), so a front woken by the refusal can't re-enter the origin table on an inline executor. #[must_use] on renew is a good guard. This looks correct: renewals is still bumped before the drain, so a woken front sees the new count.

Non-blocking:

• Early exit between renew and the refusal loop. Any ?/return inside the for (prefix, id) loop after a renew() would drop released with the requests never resolved. If producer drop doesn't close the request, those fronts hang. Today the loop looks return-free; consider a small drop guard (or resolve in Drop) so a future early return can't regress this.
• Still no regression test for the inline-executor deadlock this and the previous push fix; a test that runs update with a front that reads the table on wake would lock it in.
• Still open from earlier: JS rejected-before-resets check, no log when an answer is dropped, JS/Rust restart asymmetry undocumented.
• CI is pending on this head.

Verdict: MERGE once CI is green.

Reviewed commit: 0e9e6db

Compared with my last reviewed 3508732, separating the main merge from the functional fix.

The independent origin-lock wakeup finding is addressed on the reported refusal path: rs/moq-net/src/model/origin.rs:2028–2033 drops the origin guard before resolving released channels. ServeState::renew:3900–3904 still advances the generation and removes pending requests under the lock, so late answers cannot reclaim them. My previous waiter-accounting finding remains fixed.

No new actionable findings in this delta. Returning the released channels and completing them outside the lock is a focused solution; no extra retry or scheduling layer is needed.

Verification: GitHub-only static inspection of the change and surrounding code. No tests run; no inline-executor regression accompanies this fix, and exact-head CI is queued/running.

On the Grok follow-up at 0e9e6dbd, the early exit between renew and the refusal loop: the only return in that loop is the entry_mut miss. update holds the table lock throughout and checks closed before the loop, so the entries cannot vanish part-way. If that ever changed, the origin's teardown drains every queue anyway. No guard added. The other points are answered above or are being planned separately.

Merge summary at 0e9e6dbd:

• Decision (maintainer): option 2. Held requests carry over an epoch change, and the served cache is forgotten. The handler's late answer for the old instance is dropped, never served under the new epoch, so nothing is stitched. A request pinned to the old epoch is still refused.
• Rust: ServeState counts renewals in a shared atomic. The front asks again when a renewal happened between asking and the answer, which covers answers and refusals that landed just before the change and A to B to A. Released requests are refused after Dynamic::update drops the origin table lock.
• JS: #demand loops on a reset counter and only uncounts its own registration.
• Reviews: Codex, CodeRabbit, and OpenAI findings are fixed, each with a regression. Grok's non-blocking items are answered in the thread. OpenAI and Codex both reviewed the final head with no findings.
• Impact: no API signature or wire changes. A request waiting on a Dynamic handler across an epoch change now resolves under the new epoch instead of failing.
• Follow-ups, planned separately: the JS and Rust restart asymmetry, and the sh/dispatch.sh base detection.
