What

#3225 made announcements prefix routes and deleted machinery three questlines were built on. This rescopes them against what dev actually does, rather than leaving quests that send someone at APIs and specs that no longer exist.

New m0 quests

Both are regressions on dev, not plans, so m0's goal widens to cover defects in what main or dev ships.

  • Route resume identity [L] - a subscription whose route dies now ends instead of resuming through the next one. feat(net)!: announcements are prefix routes #3225 called this unavoidable once Epoch was gone, but the first hop is not gone: hop chains still travel on the wire, RouteEntry still stores them, route_order still ranks on them. What was deleted is FrontState.publisher and same_identity, the structure that read the first hop. Restoring that restores the failover behavior and supplies the identity two other questlines need.
  • Lite draft routing text [S] - draft-lcurley-moq-lite still normatively specifies the warm-cost discount and the (cold, hash) adoption rank that the relay no longer implements, which misleads anyone interoping against it.

pop-skipping

warm-lifecycle is replaced by warm-advertise. The core tension: warmth is per-broadcast, but a route covers a prefix, and carrying pid/foo.hang says nothing about the rest of pid/. So a carrying relay advertises the exact broadcast path as its own warm route instead of discounting a broader one. No wire change; best_server already prefers the more specific route.

Two rulings recorded:

  • Selection keeps specificity above cost. That is what best_server and the draft do, and it matches longest-prefix-match everywhere it appears (IP forwarding, BGP, DNS, URL routers) for the same reason: routes of different prefix length describe different destination sets, so comparing their costs is a category error. Cost decides between routes covering the same thing, which is where warm/cold was designed to work.
  • A draining carrier retracts rather than reprices. Under specificity-first, a ceiling-priced exact-path route still wins and keeps attracting the subscribers a drain is trying to move. This replaces the draft's ceiling-exemption paragraph.

rank now requires warm-advertise and route-resume. peer-reconfigure is untouched.

wildcard

epoch is deleted: #3225 removed Epoch from the drafts and retired draft-lcurley-moq-broadcast, so the quest implements a spec that no longer exists, and route-resume covers colliding publishers (more weakly - it can end the loser, not declare two workers interchangeable, which is called out).

The rest is corrected against dev, and mostly gets easier:

  • origin::Prefix is an opaque newtype built as the pattern extension point, so a pattern extends it internally instead of needing a parallel table.
  • The routing table exists. request_broadcast resolves local, then best_server (longest covering prefix, exclusion filter, route_order), served on demand and cached in ServeState.served. resolve extends it rather than standing one up.
  • announced() yields Update { prefix, route, active } and never a broadcast, so a pattern needs no distinct event kind.
  • js/watch's #isPathAnnounced is already prefix-aware; only pattern matching is left, so demand drops [M] to [S].
  • draft gains an open decision: pattern in the existing prefix field (smaller change, but an older peer mis-covers silently) vs a new message type (fails loudly).

relay-memory

standby-routes is closed - #3225 delivered it. lite::subscriber now calls origin::Producer::announce_served, so an announcement costs a RouteEntry plus one ServeState whose served cache materializes a broadcast only on request. No broadcast::Producer, no front, no lifecycle task per announced path. Its accessor rider survives as route-gauge [XS]. The questline's measurement table predates prefix routes and is flagged as needing a rebuild.

Fallout elsewhere

Quest Correction
2933 set_route/route_updates are gone, but the erasure survives via announced()announce(); the severity argument rested on the deleted handover_allowed
2985 its remedy was the broadcast epoch; the three JS bugs remain with no proposed fix
2895 create_broadcast no longer announces, so only the exact-path half remains
3190 Rust's create_broadcast no longer announces, the FFI's still does: a semantics divergence, not a naming one
2714 a predicate over prefix routes decides about a set, and cannot be the enforcement point the reporter needs

3193 is deleted. BroadcastConsumer.route_changed() no longer exists in any binding, and a broadcast carries no route to watch. Issue #3193 should be closed as obsolete - I have not touched it.

Testing

just check passes: quest: 235 documents ok.

(Written by Claude Opus 5)

#3225 made announcements prefix routes and deleted machinery three
questlines were built on. Rescope them against what dev actually does.

New in m0, because both are regressions on dev rather than plans:

- route-resume: a failing route now ends the subscription instead of
  resuming through the next one. The PR called this unavoidable once
  Epoch was gone, but first-hop identity is still on the wire and in
  RouteEntry; what was deleted is FrontState.publisher/same_identity,
  the structure that read it.
- lite-draft-routing: the draft still specifies the warm discount and
  the (cold, hash) adoption rank that the relay no longer implements.

pop-skipping: warm-lifecycle replaced by warm-advertise. Warmth is
per-broadcast and a route covers a prefix, so a carrying relay
advertises the exact broadcast path as its own warm route rather than
discounting a broader one. Selection keeps specificity above cost, per
best_server, the draft, and longest-prefix-match precedent; the drain
hazard that creates is closed by retracting rather than repricing.
rank now requires warm-advertise and route-resume.

wildcard: epoch deleted, since the spec it implements is gone and
route-resume covers colliding publishers. README/advertise/resolve/
draft/demand corrected: Prefix is the extension point, the routing
table exists (best_server + ServeState), announced() already yields
covering claims so a pattern needs no distinct event, and js/watch's
gate is already prefix-aware. demand drops M to S.

relay-memory: standby-routes closed, delivered by #3225 replacing
create_broadcast with announce_served. Its accessor rider survives as
route-gauge. The measurement table predates prefix routes.

Fallout elsewhere: 2933 (the cold-cost erasure survives via
announced/announce), 2985 (its Epoch remedy is gone), 2895 (only the
exact-path half remains), 3190 (now a semantics divergence), 2714
(a predicate over prefixes decides about a set). 3193 deleted: the
python route watch it reshapes no longer exists in any binding.

P2 Badge Keep carrier identity separate from publisher identity

The route's first hop identifies the original content publisher and is deliberately shared by alternate routes that may splice, so it cannot identify which carrying relay advertised a warm exact-path route. The previous FrontState::handover_allowed used the announcing peer at the end of the hop chain for this reason. Reusing route-resume identity here makes redundant carriers appear to be the same peer, preventing the rank and hold logic from reliably detecting a changed parent and potentially allowing mutual adoption. Track the warm advertiser's identity separately. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

P2 Badge Reconcile specificity-first routing with cost competition

Making specificity precede cost means a concrete exact-path announcement is selected before a wildcard covering that path, regardless of either route's cost. That contradicts the rest of this questline, which says a concrete route and wildcard compete on cost and requires a standby seed above the topology ceiling to stop the wildcard outranking a running publisher. Implementers cannot satisfy both rules, so specify whether exact claims always shadow patterns or whether concrete and wildcard claims can occupy the same cost tier. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Two verified corrections from the review pass.

Adoption and resume need different hops. The pre-#3225 front kept both:
FrontState.publisher was hops.iter().next() (the publisher, for splice
decisions) while handover_allowed and the hold keyed on hops.iter().last()
(the adjacent carrier), with the rank hash over that last hop. rank.md
pointed at the first hop, which every alternate route to one publisher
shares by construction, so two distinct carriers would have compared equal
and the gate could have permitted the mutual adoption the hold exists to
prevent.

2985: two of its three js/net sites are already fixed on dev by keying on
the routing front (lite runAnnounce diffs ended-then-active; ietf keeps an
offered map that clears a refusal on republish). Only #resolveTrackInfo is
still path-and-track keyed. Rescoped to that, and dropped the route-resume
coupling, which the remaining cache bug does not need.

Walkthrough

The pull request updates quest documentation for defects on main and dev, route resume identity, and Lite draft routing text. It revises m1 plans for prefix-route effects on predicates, readiness, FFI route costs, and JavaScript state. It restructures pop-skipping plans around exact-path warm routes and peer ranking. It replaces standby-route memory plans with route-count measurement. It updates wildcard routing plans for prefix claims, staged decoding, route-table storage, and identity-based collision handling.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d3716

The PR rescoping is directionally useful, but the current documentation still contains stale contracts and unresolved protocol details around announcement readiness, route identity and ranking, wildcard encoding and announce IDs, and exclusion-aware caching. These inaccuracies could lead future implementations or interoperating peers toward incorrect behavior, so the PR is not merge-ready until the bounded corrections are addressed or explicitly accepted.

- Around line 18-22: Update the document’s Goal, Scope, and issue context to
reflect that create_broadcast is followed by population and a separate announce
call, so the quest addresses only premature request_broadcast visibility. Remove
claims that broadcasts may be announced before preparation and any requirement

- Around line 16-19: Update the issue-context paragraph following the API
deletion note to remove the stale active round-trip involving
MoqBroadcastConsumer::route_updates and MoqBroadcastProducer::set_route; mark it

In `@quest/m1/2985-js-net-path-keyed-publisher-state-goes-stale-when-a.md`:
- Around line 23-28: Use a JavaScript-local producer identity or generation—not
the stable first-hop route resume identity—for `#trackInfo`, announcement
reconciliation, and refused-state handling at the three js/net sites. Ensure
same-path publishes with different producers receive distinct keys so stale
state is replaced while preserving stable route identity for Rust-side republish
decisions.

In `@quest/m1/3190-align-origin-broadcast-creation-naming-across-language.md`:
- Around line 19-21: Correct the documentation section describing
create_broadcast to state that it enables announcements through
Route::new().with_announce(true), returns an Arc<MoqBroadcastProducer>, and does
not call announce or return an announcement guard; use
create_broadcast_announces only as evidence of discoverability before defining
the canonical rename contract.

In `@quest/m2/pop-skipping/rank.md`:
- Around line 5-7: Align the adoption rule, plan, and tests around one explicit
ordering: either define Rank’s separate comparator or reuse FrontState::pick’s
route_order, including hop count and hash tie-breaking. Ensure the “strictly
closer” goal and all later equal-cost adoption language consistently describe
that same ordering.

In `@quest/m2/pop-skipping/README.md`:
- Around line 82-87: Update the README text to acknowledge the existing
FrontState.publisher and same_identity first-hop identity state and remove the
claim that these fields were deleted. Describe only the missing
route-resume/failover behavior, reusing the established identity contract rather
than introducing or implying a duplicate Rank identity mechanism.
- Around line 54-58: Update the README section around the “What it costs today”
figures so readers are not asked to trust measurements that are later declared
obsolete by prefix routes. In the pop-skipping explanation, move the disclaimer
from the paragraph about route warmth and prefix coverage to before the headroom
and shedding-threshold calculations, or remove the threshold language entirely
until remeasurement; keep the section’s flow anchored to the existing “What it
costs today” and prefix-route discussion.

Apply the same fix in `@quest/m2/relay-memory/README.md` around lines 54 - 58: The
same outdated-measurement presentation and remediation apply to the relay-memory
section.

In `@quest/m2/wildcard/advertise.md`:
- Around line 14-17: Define how the wildcard announce is assigned a per-stream
announce ID, including the encoding for its end or replacement, and ensure
tolerant decoders reserve and track that ID even when skipping the wildcard
payload. Add an interoperability test covering wildcard start, end or restart,
and a subsequent ordinary Active announcement so later control messages target
the correct route.

In `@quest/m2/wildcard/demand.md`:
- Around line 19-22: Update the startup test and `#isPathAnnounced` expectations
so they are consistent: ensure the wildcard announcement is processed before
asserting that a wildcard-only rendition is listed, or revise the gate to allow
selection before any announcement if that is the intended behavior. Preserve the
active-set validation and shared pattern-matching coverage.

In `@quest/m2/wildcard/draft.md`:
- Around line 16-25: Update the wildcard rollout design to separate in-band
pattern handling from the Advertise decode-tolerance rollout: require an
explicit receiver capability for ANNOUNCE_START prefix-field patterns or reject
unsupported patterns before emission, and state that Advertise’s unknown-message
tolerance does not protect this encoding.

In `@quest/m2/wildcard/resolve.md`:
- Around line 20-24: Update wildcard resolution so the exclusion filter is
evaluated before reusing cached path-only results, including dynamically served
paths absent from nodes; ensure route-aware selection precedes cache lookup or
incorporate the exclusion context into the cache key, and verify behavior for
both requesters.

`origin::Producer::create_broadcast` stop announcing: the blessed order is
create, populate, announce, and `announce` is a separate call returning a guard.
So a broadcast is no longer announced before its tracks exist, and
`broadcast::Route::announce = false` (which the issue correctly says is not a
readiness gate) does not exist either.

changes is what they can key on: [Route resume
identity](/quest/m0/route-resume.md) restores per-path identity from the
winning route's first hop, which is the identity the Rust side will use to
decide whether a republish is the same publisher. Settle whether these sites
key on that or on something JS-local before implementing.

Do not use stable first-hop identity as the JavaScript generation key.

The described failure is same-path replacement: Publisher.publish(path, first) followed by Publisher.publish(path, second) keeps the path but changes the producer. Route resume identity from the winning route’s first hop identifies publisher lineage, so both generations can have the same identity. If JavaScript uses it for #trackInfo, announcement reconciliation, or refused, the stale-state bug remains. Require a JavaScript-local producer identity or generation for these three sites.

[Draft](/quest/m2/wildcard/draft.md) settles whether a pattern rides the
existing announce messages' prefix field or arrives as a message of its own.
Either way the skew hazard below applies, and either way the decode side lands
first.

Define announce-ID handling for tolerant decoders.

If the wildcard is a separate announce message, define whether it consumes a per-stream announce ID and how its retraction or replacement is encoded. A tolerant decoder that skips it without reserving its ID can assign the next ordinary Active message the wrong ID; later ANNOUNCE_END or ANNOUNCE_RESTART messages can then target the wrong route or fail as unknown. Add an interop test for a wildcard start, its end or restart, and a following ordinary announcement.

So the remaining work is narrow: teach the JS client the wildcard
advertisement (`js/net`'s announce handling, mirroring what
[advertise](/quest/m2/wildcard/advertise.md) does in moq-net) and make the
covering test use the shared pattern matching rather than prefix containment.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the startup test consistent with the announcement gate.

The plan retains #isPathAnnounced, which waits for announcement state and checks the active set before selection. A test that requires the subscribe to arrive before any announcement cannot also prove that a rendition covered only by a wildcard is listed. If the intended case is before a concrete announcement, state that the wildcard update must arrive first. Otherwise, change the gate and its requirements.

- **Whether a pattern is a new message or the existing prefix field.**
[moq#3225](https://github.com/moq-dev/moq/pull/3225) reinterpreted the
announce suffix as a route prefix without changing a byte, so a pattern could
ride ANNOUNCE_START's existing field rather than arriving as its own message.
That is the smaller wire change and reuses retraction and repricing for free,
but an older lite-06 build reads `**` as a literal segment and silently
mis-covers rather than failing, where an unknown message type at least fails
loudly. Settle this explicitly, and say which failure mode is preferred; the
staged decode-tolerance rollout in
[Advertise](/quest/m2/wildcard/advertise.md) is required either way.

Separate the rollout for in-band patterns.

If the pattern reuses ANNOUNCE_START's existing prefix field, an older lite-06 decoder receives a valid message and treats ** as a literal. The unknown-message tolerance planned in Advertise cannot protect that encoding. Require an explicit receiver capability or reject unsupported patterns before emission. Do not state that the same decode-tolerance rollout covers both wire choices.

So this quest extends a working table rather than standing one up: teach the
route entries to hold a pattern instead of only a literal prefix, and teach
selection the tiering and pooling below. Keep the exclusion filter where it is,
applied before selection, so an out-of-band request can never be served back
through the peer that made it.

Preserve excluded-hop filtering on cached wildcard resolutions.

request_broadcast checks resolve before the path-only served cache. A dynamically served path absent from nodes returns Resolved::Missing, so the cache can return a broadcast without evaluating exclude. Ensure route-aware selection runs before cache reuse, or include exclusion context in the cache key. Test both requesters.

Hold a re-parent onto another relay long enough for the costs it rests on to
land, and re-evaluate when the hold expires rather than committing to the
decision that armed it. The sizing rule is "longer than an announcement crosses
the mesh", plus a stable per-relay spread so a PoP does not reconsider on one
instant. The hold covers only trading a working upstream for a better one:

P2 Badge Make adoption safe without a propagation-time assumption

When a GOAWAY or cost increase is delayed longer than this hold on any path through the mesh, every relay in the described stale ring can re-evaluate against the same stale reports and still adopt its neighbor, leaving the broadcast sourceless. A fixed delay plus jitter reduces simultaneous changes but cannot guarantee that an announcement has arrived, since delivery has no stated upper bound; the adoption protocol needs a positive synchronization condition or make-before-break behavior rather than relying on the hold expiring.

…g tier

route-resume: the abort-and-resubscribe behavior was specified by #3225,
not lost by accident, so the quest now states the reversal as a decision:
routes keep hops/cost, a relay resumes/stitches across routes with the
same non-zero first hop, Epoch stays dead, and the implementing PR amends
the draft's no-splice paragraph in the same change. Resized to XL since
dev has no per-path front spanning routes to hang the identity on.

wildcard: specificity-first already decides concrete-versus-wildcard, so
the pricing bullet no longer claims there is no such rule. Cost orders
within a tier; the seed floor's work is among equal-specificity claims
(standby vs running concrete, warm-advertise's exact-path routes), and
the shadow a live concrete claim casts over the pool is documented as an
accepted consequence bounded by the claiming session.

lite-draft-routing: dropped; the work is already open as #3278, so the
quest would land completed. References now point at the PR.

Taking this over. The two blocking questions are settled as follows (per Luke's direction on the first):

  1. route-resume stands, as a deliberate spec reversal rather than a regression fix. Routes keep carrying the hops/cost of what they serve, and a relay resumes/stitches a broadcast across routes when the first hop is the same. Epoch stays dead (it was per-broadcast; nothing per-broadcast survives prefix routes). The quest now states this as a decision, requires the implementing PR to amend the draft's "route carries no content identity" / MUST NOT splice paragraph in the same change, and is resized to XL: ServeState is per-announcer and create_broadcast sources are not inserted into the tree, so the per-path front spanning routes has to be rebuilt, not just given back a field.

  2. Specificity stays above cost, and the pricing bullet now says so honestly. A concrete claim is maximally specific and shadows every pattern behind it at any cost, so "there is no concrete-beats-wildcard rule" was wrong and is gone. Cost orders within a tier. The seed floor keeps its job where equal-specificity claims actually meet (standby vs running concrete claims, and warm-advertise's exact-path warm routes), and the stale-concrete-claim shadow is documented as an accepted consequence, bounded by the claiming session's lifetime.

Also dropped lite-draft-routing.md from this PR: the work is already open as #3278 against dev, so the quest would land pre-completed. rank.md and warm-advertise.md now reference the PR instead.

P2 Badge Keep the existing announcement's cost framing

If the draft chooses the existing-prefix-field alternative, it cannot also satisfy the one-cost-varint requirement below: ANNOUNCE_START and ANNOUNCE_UPDATE already encode the Cost warm/cold pair. An older Lite06 receiver treats the wildcard as a literal and still expects both varints, so emitting only the scalar under the existing message type breaks framing rather than providing the advertised compatibility. Either retain the pair for this alternative or use a distinct message/version for the scalar form.
