feat(moq-gst): moqsrc follows a restart on the same pads - #5191
Conversation
moqsrc follows its path's announcements through origin::Consumer::follow: a start or restart requests the path afresh, cutting the old run's pumps over at once, an update rides through, and an end holds the pads until the next start. Pads are kept by rendition across runs and format changes, each new stream rebased to the current running time so a synced sink renders it. A track that ends or loses its source keeps its pad without EOS; a rendition the catalog retires still drains to EOS. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Quest outcome: implemented as planned; left as a draft for maintainer review. Calls made without the maintainer, open to challenge:

When an announcement is withdrawn while its publisher and streams remain alive, this branch only logs and returns false; it never signals latest. The existing pump therefore continues forwarding buffers after the path is offline until the source eventually dies or another Start arrives, instead of immediately handing back and holding its pads as the new behavior promises.

When catalog reading surfaces moq_net::Error::Decode, ProtocolViolation, UnexpectedMessage, or another malformed-input error, catalog_lost delegates here and this predicate returns true. follow_catalog then warns and holds the pads indefinitely as though the publisher merely disappeared, so a malformed peer silently stalls the pipeline instead of producing the required session error; only actual route, session, or transport loss should match.

Every in-process restart test calls this helper, which polls with 50 ms wall-clock sleeps for up to 10 seconds. That makes the tests unnecessarily slow and timing-dependent under loaded CI even though they do not cross real networking; wait for a recorder notification/channel or drive mocked time instead.

Walkthroughmoqsrc now follows broadcast-path announcements across starts, restarts, updates, and ends. It retains pads by rendition across restarts and format changes, and sends EOS when a rendition is retired. The implementation distinguishes recoverable source loss from errors that fail the session. Added tests cover pad retention, stream metadata, restart behavior, and playback through a synced sink. The GStreamer documentation was updated, and the related quest entry and design document were removed. Priority: ⬇️ Low Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to moqsrc now follows publisher restarts on the same pads. Some edge cases remain. A restart can occasionally fail the whole session. A malformed catalog can hold the pads instead of reporting an error. A rendition can lose its pad if a catalog delisting coincides with a restart. Each case is narrow and has a small fix, so the change can merge, but these should be addressed. Pre-merge checks |

Ignore errors from replaced runs.
runs retains every run, but follow_path treats every joined error as session-fatal. A replaced run can return an error before it observes cancellation. The outer select! can also join that error before it processes the Restart event. The inner selects do not prioritize cancellation when both futures are ready.
Track each run generation, ignore errors from older generations, and prioritize the announcement and cancellation branches.

Check that the slot still exists after a Claim::Kept pump gets the owner lock.
Pads::retire removes the Slot from the map before it waits on slot.owner. A pump in the next run can call Pads::claim before that removal. That pump gets Claim::Kept with a clone of the same owner Arc. Both tasks then wait on the same tokio::sync::Mutex, and the tokio mutex serves waiters in FIFO order.
If the retire task gets the lock first, Slot::end sends EOS, deactivates the pad, and removes it. Then the new pump gets the lock and calls begin on the removed pad. Its first pad.push returns Flushing, and the pump returns Some(rendition). The new run still lists the rendition, so follow_catalog does not retire it. reconcile adds a new pump only after a later catalog change. Until then, the rendition has no pad and the session shows no error.
If the pump gets the lock first, it streams to a pad that is no longer in Pads. The old run's follow_catalog then waits in pumps.join_next() for the retire task, which waits until the new pump exits.
The trigger is narrow. The old run's catalog update must delist the rendition, or its pump must end while the rendition is delisted, just before a restart. The fix is small: after the pump gets the lock, check that the map still holds the same owner. If it does not, release the lock and claim again.

When the path request succeeds but the publisher closes before follow_catalog obtains the catalog track, broadcast.track(...) returns moq_net::Error::Unroutable. The unchanged ? in follow_catalog propagates that through this newly added run join as a fatal session error, so this normal source-loss race posts an error and removes the pads instead of holding them for the next announcement. Handle this lookup failure through the same source-loss classification as catalog subscription failures.

When a Restart signals cancelled while the superseded run's broadcast request simultaneously completes with a fatal refusal such as NotFound, this unbiased tokio::select! may choose the request branch and return an error. follow_path then observes that obsolete run as Ok(Err(...)) and terminates the whole session, including the replacement run. Make cancellation win this race or discard failures from runs that are no longer current.
