The #4349 reporter re-ran their A/B/C/D comparison against current cdn.moq.pro (comment). This clears the condition on quest/m1/cross-relay-bursts.md: 0 lost messages and 0 failed FETCH across about 31k per-request records, and no path still announced at the end of any run. This PR deletes that quest and plans what remains.

  • [M] Reproduce cross-node announce flapping (quest/m1/cross-node-flapping.md, takes Closes #4349). When the publisher and subscriber are on different nodes, a clean close toggles Announced/Retracted about 1140 times over about 2 s. The report ran against the release. The quest builds a time-mocked drill with 3 or more relays and runs it on main, then either lands it as a regression test or fixes the cause at the source.
  • Dropped sources (quest/m1/dropped-sources.md, existing quest, Plan extended). Fronts currently end on Error::Dropped, which falls through the _ => Internal catch-all and reaches subscribers as internal error. Under the extended plan, front-aborted requests and tracks end with Unroutable, or Cancel on a local shutdown. In-flight copies drain and end with the source's own error, and the conversions match every error variant explicitly. No wire change.

Not planned: the self-hosted two-relay rejoin stall on 0.17.2. It is probably changed on main by #4741 and #4914, and the flapping quest's Plan records it.

Decisions

What happens to #4349 and the condition quest?

Which remaining symptoms get planned? (multi-select)

What should a subscriber see instead of internal error?

  • Map Dropped to Unroutable (recommended)
  • Map Dropped to Cancel
  • A new lite-07 code
  • ✅ Other: "Dropped is a bug, it means we didn't properly abort."

Should the fix remove the _ => Internal catch-alls?

  • ✅ Yes, an exhaustive match (recommended)
  • No, just add Dropped

Which code should a front end with?

  • ✅ Unroutable, and Cancel on shutdown (recommended)
  • Cancel everywhere
  • The implementer decides per site

How should the flapping be planned?

  • Repro quest, then decide (recommended)
  • Client-side coalescing now
  • Leave it to routes.md
  • ✅ Other: "I think main is handling it, this report is from release. but make a repro quest?"

Reviews found that a separate abort quest overlaps dropped-sources and would remap the wrong layer for in-flight subscriptions. How should that be resolved?

  • ✅ Fold it into dropped-sources (recommended)
  • Keep it separate and narrowed

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The re-run against cdn.moq.pro clears the cross-relay-bursts condition:
no loss and no failed FETCH. What remains is cross-node announce flapping
after a clean close, and `internal error` replies from fronts that end on
Error::Dropped.

Walkthrough

The M1 quest list and cluster-routing reference now point to a new quest about reproducing cross-node announce flapping. The previous cross-relay-bursts quest is removed. The dropped-sources plan adds a decision to trace in-flight subscription endings to the source error and records proposed error-conversion handling and regression-test expectations.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 65f1b

This PR changes quest plans, not relay behavior, but the current wording could close the CDN issue before release verification and leave the planned regression unable to detect an error-propagation failure. Correct these bounded plan gaps before relying on them.

Explanation

The directly linked issue [#4349] requires an implemented fix for cross-node routing, including reliable control-group delivery and FETCH completion, non-stalling state and log tracks, and prompt one-time retraction after close. The reviewed changes add and update quest plans only. cross-node-flapping.md explicitly defers the regression drill and any source fix, and the issue remains open. No implementation or automated regression test in this PR establishes those outcomes.

Reviewed commit: 0d92970.

[P2] Preserve draining subscriptions in the abort quest — front-abort-codes.md:19–38 incorrectly says Action::End passes its error to every unfinished track and requires an active subscription to return Unroutable when its broadcast closes. Action::End deliberately preserves active source copies. The existing regression closes the source before its final group arrives, then requires that group and normal completion. Aborting that case would lose valid trailing data and violate ANNOUNCE_END semantics. Scope Unroutable/Cancel to requests and tracks the front actually aborts, retain draining copies, and split the proposed relay test accordingly. Changing front Dropped values alone cannot guarantee the stated active-subscription outcome.

Direction: the reporter's rerun supports retiring the condition quest, and reproduction before another routing fix is sensible. Reuse or extend mesh_withdraw.rs, which already checks one retraction on a time-mocked 34-node partial mesh. Keep the proposed release-tree positive control before treating a passing main drill as evidence this scenario is fixed.

Verification: all five changed files, #4349's rerun, relevant front/origin/error code, protocol text, withdrawal tests, and #4642/#4741/#4914 inspected through GitHub. No tests or production reproduction run.

P2 Badge Trace active subscriptions instead of remapping front ends

For the reported clean-close case with an active subscription, origin::run_front does not pass the Action::End error to every unfinished track: when a used track has a source copy, the arm calls io.routes.conclude() and returns it in in_flight, so its eventual error comes from that copy. Replacing the front's Dropped values with Unroutable therefore will not fix this scenario, and the proposed relay assertion would encode the wrong layer's behavior. Trace the source-copy termination and consolidate this with quest/m1/dropped-sources.md, which already requires preserving the source's real error rather than remapping Dropped.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L16-L16

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

In-flight subscriptions end with their source copy's error, not the
front's, so remapping front ends alone cannot fix #4349's case; the
existing dropped-sources quest already owns preserving the real error.
The flapping drill extends mesh_withdraw and needs the release tree as
a positive control.

Addressed both review findings in 65f1bb7:

  • A separate abort quest is gone. Its decisions now live in quest/m1/dropped-sources.md, scoped to the requests and tracks a front actually aborts. In-flight copies drain and end with the source's own error, and the regression expects that error, never internal error.
  • The flapping drill now extends rs/moq-net/tests/mesh_withdraw.rs or sits beside it. A passing main run counts only after the moq-relay-v0.17.2 positive control fails.

Keep #4349 open until the release is verified.

If the drill passes on main, this plan closes #4349 before the reporter verifies a release on cdn.moq.pro. Keep the issue open until that rerun confirms the reported behavior is resolved.

Specify and assert the source-copy error in the regression.

The plan states that in-flight tracks end with the source's error, but the regression step does not specify how the source copy returns a non-clean result or which error the test must assert. Do not use the existing clean track-ending sequence as the regression.
