… mutating in nine commands `redis.call`/`redis.pcall` converted a Lua nil, boolean or table ARGUMENT into `Frame::Null`/`Frame::Integer` and handed it to `dispatch`. No wire client can put those shapes in an argv, so command parsers do not expect them: `extract_bytes` returns None halfway through a mutation loop, and HSET, HMSET, LPUSH, RPUSH, LPUSHX, RPUSHX, ZREM, MSET and MSETNX each returned their arity error with part of the command already written. That alone would be the memory-ledger drift of #814. It is worse, because propagation is gated on the reply not being an error: the partial write was applied on the master and never appended to the AOF, never sent to a replica. EVAL "return redis.pcall('LPUSH','mylist','a','b',true)" 0 -> ERR wrong number of arguments for 'lpush' command LLEN mylist = 2 <- the error was a lie; two elements are resident [restart] LLEN mylist = 0 <- gone. An unrelated SET in the same session survived. Driveable by any client that can EVAL. Real Redis 8.6.1 refuses the call outright -- ERR Lua redis lib command arguments must be strings or integers -- and writes nothing; moon now returns that same error from the same boundary. Two independent layers, because they protect different things. The boundary is Redis parity and closes the class at the one place that should never have let the shape through. The nine commands additionally validate their whole argv before the mutation window opens, so the keyspace stays safe even if a future caller reintroduces the shape. Both were mutation-tested, and they fail differently, which is the point: - boundary reverted, hoists kept: ZERO partial writes, restart check green, only the error MESSAGE regresses to the arity error. - both reverted: all nine commands write, and the restart check reports nine before/after divergences (LPUSH 2 -> 0, ZREM 1 -> 3, LPUSHX 3 -> 1, ...). The old fall-through was reasoned about: its comment argued a nil/boolean argument is un-nameable in a KEY position, so the ACL walker denies it. True, and it is why this survived. It says nothing about the VALUE position, which is where the writes happened. An earlier draft of the restart test asserted the recovered keyspace against expected values and PASSED against the unfixed code -- the pre-fix partial write is invisible on disk, so recovery happened to look correct. The bug is a divergence between what the master serves and what it can recover, so the test now captures state BEFORE the kill and compares it AFTER. Closes #823.

`xadd` called `get_or_create_stream` and only then parsed and validated the entry ID. Every ID error therefore returned AFTER the key already existed: the entry was inserted, `entry_overhead` was charged, and a birth version was burned — for a command whose only answer to the client is an error. Because propagation is gated on the reply not being an error (`!matches!(resp, Frame::Error(_))`), the fabricated stream was never written to the AOF and never sent to a replica. It was visible to `DBSIZE`, `EXISTS` and `TYPE` on the master, counted against memory, and then vanished on the next restart — a master/replica and master/disk divergence created by a rejected command. Measured before the fix: all five of `bogus`, `0-0`, `1-1-1`, `abc-1` and `-5` created the key; 3,000 rejected XADDs cost 1.46 MB that nothing credits back. Real Redis parses the ID first and creates nothing. The fix peeks `last_id` from the existing stream (`0-0` when absent) and resolves the ID before `get_or_create_stream`, so nothing below the create can return an error. `*` is the one form left below it: it is drawn from the shard clock and cannot fail. The ordering rule moves into a free function, `validate_explicit_id_against`, which `Stream::validate_explicit_id` now delegates to — the pre-check and the stream's own check are the same code and cannot drift. NOMKSTREAM, `ms-*` sequence assignment, MAXLEN trimming and the wrong-type error are unchanged; each is covered by the regression check. Refs #823 author: Tin Dang

Handle sequence exhaustion for ms-*.
When an existing stream has last_id.seq == u64::MAX and ms-* uses the same millisecond, last_id.seq + 1 wraps to 0. stream.add accepts this ID and moves last_id backward. Use checked_add and return an ID error when the sequence is exhausted.
Add a regression test that preserves the stream after rejecting XADD key 7-* field value.

) Patch release rolling up 2 merged PRs closing 3 issues since v0.8.8. One invariant. Propagation is gated on the reply not being an error (`!matches!(resp, Frame::Error(_))`), so any command that mutates and THEN returns an error leaves a write applied on the master, never appended to the AOF and never sent to a replica: silent data loss across restart, permanent replica divergence. CORRECTNESS - `redis.call`/`redis.pcall` turned a Lua nil, boolean or table argument into a frame shape no wire client can produce, which HSET, HMSET, LPUSH, RPUSH, LPUSHX, RPUSHX, ZREM, MSET and MSETNX each discovered from INSIDE their mutation loop. Measured: `EVAL "return redis.pcall('LPUSH','mylist','a','b', true)" 0` answered an arity error with `LLEN mylist = 2` resident, and 0 after restart. Fixed at the boundary, as Redis 8.6.1 refuses it, AND by hoisting validation above the mutation window in all nine commands — defence in depth, because the raw wire reaches the same code with no Lua anywhere (#823, PR #824). - XADD called `get_or_create_stream` before parsing the ID, so all five of `bogus`, `0-0`, `1-1-1`, `abc-1` and `-5` created a charged, DBSIZE-visible stream that was never logged and vanished on restart. 3,000 rejected XADDs cost 1.46 MB nothing credits back (#823, PR #824). - Blocking pops propagated NOTHING outside MULTI. BLPOP, BRPOP, BLMOVE, BRPOPLPUSH, BZPOPMIN, BZPOPMAX, BLMPOP and BZMPOP mutated, acked the client and fed neither plane — sixteen cases across all eight commands on both the immediate and the parked-then-woken path, sixteen losses. For a queue consumer on BLPOP this redelivered every message already consumed after a master restart or on failover (#827, PR #828). The blocking path is an INTERCEPT: it short-circuits the dispatch exit where every other write meets the AOF and the replication stream. That is the same structural gap moon#644 closed for tracking invalidation on the same path in v0.8.7. The new record is the SYNTHESISED non-blocking sibling — a replica applying a literal BLPOP would park its apply loop — derived from the REPLY, since a blocking pop takes many keys and only the reply says which one served. KNOWN DIVERGENCE RIDING THIS RELEASE moon#825: SPOP and `XADD *` propagate their literal bytes, so a replica or AOF replay produces a different result. Deferred to v0.8.10; both blocked fix seams are documented on the issue. VALIDATION GCE Linux gate green on both release heads, all four legs each (monoio with io_uring LIVE 644s, tokio 620s, client-compat vs real redis-server 234s, MSRV 1.94); hosted dispatch matrix green on both. The #827 fix was mutation-tested: disabling only the sharded wiring turns all sixteen cases red again, so both runtime sites are genuinely exercised. Over-propagation was checked against the AOF bytes — timeouts, WRONGTYPE and misses reach neither plane; `BLMPOP … COUNT 10` that popped 3 logs `LPOP mp 3`; multi-key `BLPOP first second` served by `second` logs `LPOP second` — and moon#539's phantom-key guard is unaffected. Also corrects two artefacts of v0.8.8's cut, which was squashed into #785: the README version table had no v0.8.8 row and still marked v0.8.7 current, and CHANGELOG carried a duplicate truncated #788 bullet.

Why it survived
The old fall-through carried a comment reasoning that a nil/boolean argument is un-nameable in a key position, so the ACL walker denies it. That is true, and it is why nobody looked further. It says nothing about the value position, which is where the writes happened.
