On pre-06 wires (lite-05 and older) an absent Group Start means the latest group. position_cursor (Rust) and positionCursor (JS) apply that on SUBSCRIBE. But after #5000, a subscription that names group 0 and then sends a SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE without a Group Start keeps its cursor at 0. A late group below the live edge is then still served.

Both publishers now re-pin the cursor to the latest group when a pre-06 update drops a named floor. Lite-06+ is unchanged: there, an update without a Group Start already drops back to group 0.

Found by Codex review on the #5000 backport (#5300). This lands on main first, and the same change goes into #5300.

  • Rust: TrackRun::update calls start_at(latest) in that case. New test a_pre06_update_dropping_the_floor_repins_to_the_latest_group fails without the fix.
  • JS: the update control passes track.latest() as the start in the same case. New test lite draft-05: an update dropping the floor re-pins to the latest group fails without the fix. a group popped before a cap update is still served now expects the re-pinned start.

just check passes.

API and wire impact

None. No public API change, and no wire change: this brings the publisher in line with the pre-06 drafts' existing meaning of an absent Group Start.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Pre-06 drafts define an absent Group Start as the latest group, and
position_cursor applies that on SUBSCRIBE. A SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE that drops a
named floor left the cursor at the old floor, so a late group below the
live edge was still served. Re-pin to the latest group in Rust and JS.

Reviewed commit: d60481d.

The direction is sound: the small, matching Rust/JS change and regression tests address the independent #5300 finding. No new regression found; the targeted version guard avoids changing lite-06+ behavior.

One pre-existing residual case in the intended fix: an accepted, empty pre-06 track subscribed at group 10 receives an update omitting Group Start before any group arrives. With no latest group, Rust skips start_at, and JS passes an undefined start, which preserves the old cursor floor. A subsequently produced group 0 is discarded rather than starting live delivery. Clear the old floor when no latest group exists, and add this empty-track/nonzero-floor case to both tests. This is incomplete coverage of an existing defect, not a regression introduced here.

Verification: all three changed files and relevant cursor/update code reviewed through GitHub; tests not run. Check/Test and platform CI were still running at the last check.

Walkthrough

For pre-Lite-06 subscriptions that previously specified a start-group floor, an update that omits the start group now resets the cursor to the latest group, or to group 0 if the track is empty. Lite-06 and later behavior remains unchanged. Tests cover both track states and the updated replacement range.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to fcc48

The floor-removal behavior appears ready to merge after normal checks.

P2 Badge Account for groups skipped by the new re-pin

When a draft-05 subscription has parked groups above an end cap, then drops its named start and removes the cap, this new floor skips every parked group below track.latest(). The JS publisher never emits SUBSCRIBE_DROP for those skipped sequences, while subscriber.ts still computes an absent updated floor from the original SUBSCRIBE_START, so completion waits for the missing groups until the subscriber's max-delay grace expires, potentially delaying track/session teardown for a long configured max delay. Account the skipped range, as Rust's drop_unserved does, so the peer can settle immediately.

Declining for this PR. The JS publisher sends no SUBSCRIBE_DROP at all today: Rust's drop_unserved has no JS counterpart, so every JS skip (the SUBSCRIBE_START pin, positionCursor, max-delay expiry) already leaves the subscriber waiting out its grace. The re-pin adds one more case of that gap, not a new class. Porting drop_unserved to JS is a separate parity fix, which I'm proposing as a follow-up.

With no latest group, an update that drops a named floor kept the old
floor, so a first group below it was skipped. Pin to 0 instead: on an
empty track the next group is the latest. Found by CodeRabbit.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed commit: fcc4830.

The empty-track residual from my previous review, also reported by CodeRabbit, is fixed: Rust and JS now clear the old floor to zero when no latest group exists. Both languages add the corresponding regression test.

No new actionable findings in the delta. The small fallback is sufficient; no additional abstraction or wire/API change is needed. The separate JS SUBSCRIBE_DROP parity issue remains explicitly deferred.

GitHub-only static review; tests not run. Check/Test and platform CI were still in progress at the last check.

Summary before merge:

  • Pre-06 SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE without a Group Start re-pins the cursor to the latest group in both the Rust and JS publishers, matching what an unfloored SUBSCRIBE does. On an empty track it pins to 0 (CodeRabbit).
  • Regression tests on both sides fail without each fix. just check passes.
  • Declined: the Codex request for JS SUBSCRIBE_DROP accounting. The JS publisher sends no SUBSCRIBE_DROP for any skip today, so that parity work goes into a follow-up quest.
  • Decision (maintainer): fix on main first, then carry the fix into the release backport fix(net): backport an explicit group 0 floor on pre-06 wires (#5000) #5300.
