When an application or relay forwards a group with start > 0 over a negotiated draft-14 through draft-17 session, Group.encode cannot serialize the FIRST_OBJECT bit and the receiving Group.decode therefore forces firstObject to true. The first frame still carries its nonzero absolute sequence, so Frame.decode rejects it as contradicting the header and the supported legacy subscriber loses the group. Gate this case by version and skip or refuse the headless group, as the lite publisher does. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

When a peer starts a headless group at Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER and sends another contiguous object, both wire deltas pass Reader.u53, but this addition produces the unsafe value 9007199254740992; further + 1 operations can then repeat the same JavaScript number. handleGroup consequently exposes duplicate or misnumbered frame sequences instead of rejecting the unsupported range. Check the sum with safe-integer arithmetic or calculate it as a bigint before converting. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

When until <= group.start, both loops call readFrameSequence() before detecting the empty range. An open group with no buffered frame can keep the corresponding stream pending.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a draft-20 peer subscribes with nextObject after the current group already contains object 1 or later, assigning both largest and next to {group, 0} makes startAt replay every cached object in that group, even though Next Object excludes everything through the real Largest Object. It also advertises a false SUBSCRIBE_OK.largest, so canonical peers size fills from the wrong edge. Keep largest at track.largest() and move only an unservable mid-group subscription floor to the following group. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

When an absolute draft-20 filter uses startGroup = 9007199254740991 and any nonzero start object, this new increment produces 9007199254740992, which is then converted to a JavaScript number for track.update and startAt outside the safe-integer range. Adjacent group IDs can consequently collapse to the same cursor, or the subscription can wait at an unrepresentable position instead of rejecting the unsupported range. This newly added group-ID increment is fresh evidence distinct from the earlier object-ID finding. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Prevent fills from overlapping an unfiltered subscription.
For an unfiltered subscription, subscribeRange() returns no range.start, but runSubscribe() starts the local cursor at track.latest(). If a draft-20 fill targets that same group, this guard does not run. The publisher then sends the group through both the subscription and fetch streams.
Resolve and pass the actual local subscription start to fillRange(), then compare the fill start against it. Add a regression test for an unfiltered subscription with a fill targeting its current group.

moq-transport lets a publisher answer a Location Filter by serving a group
from partway through, with FIRST_OBJECT cleared and the first object's
absolute id in place of its delta. Nothing above the wire can use that: the
objects are not decodable without the head the filter excluded, a group is
the unit an application resyncs on, and moq-lite cannot represent the hole
at all. Both implementations served that shape and neither would read one.
A filter's start now rounds up to a group boundary, so every subgroup
stream starts at object 0 and always claims FIRST_OBJECT. A subscriber that
wants the current group asks for it by group instead: draft-20's relative
form is `{Largest Object.Group + 1 - StartGroup, 0}`, so StartGroup=1 names
that group's start without knowing Largest Object, which is what our own
subscriber already sends. Next Object and an absolute filter naming an
object of its own are answered from the next group.
A fill still carries a group's interior, on a fetch stream that numbers its
objects explicitly, but only below where the subscription begins: the two
are meant to meet with no gap and no overlap, and the subscription now
serves whole groups from its first.
Incoming, a stream whose header clears FIRST_OBJECT is dropped and the
track resumes at the next group. The header is only the publisher's claim,
so the object ids stay the check that matters: every object is held to
starting at 0 and incrementing by 1, whatever the header said and on the
drafts that have no such bit to read.

When a draft-20 subscription is bounded and its explicit fill targets content after that bound, this returns empty solely because the fill is at or above the subscription start. For example, a subscription for group 5 objects 0-1 plus a fill for group 5 objects 2-4 delivers the first two objects but suppresses the fill, so the peer receives neither the requested tail nor a fetch stream. Only suppress the fill when the subscription's end actually covers it; the mirrored guard in rs/moq-net/src/ietf/publisher.rs has the same issue and should be fixed with it. (Written by GPT-5.6 Sol)

Suppress fills when an unfiltered subscription already serves the group.
When range.start is None, this guard does not run. run_track then starts the subscription at track.latest(). A one-group track with an unfiltered subscription and a Relative(1) fill sends the same group on both streams.
Resolve the local subscription start once. Use it in both run_track and this overlap check. Add a regression test for the unfiltered case.

Dropping every stream with FIRST_OBJECT clear (#3308) also drops the one this join depends on. The fill's fetch stream carries the head, and the subscription's stream carries the rest starting partway through the group, so refusing it discards the half we asked a fill to complete. Move that check below the alias lookup, where the subscription's fill is known, and keep it for every stream no fill is outstanding for. A stream with no head is still unusable on its own, so that is unchanged wherever a fill was never requested or has already settled. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A moqt-20 subscription starts at the next object, so joining a live track part way through a group drops that group's head. The draft's answer is a fill: a fetch stream carrying the objects published before the subscription started. We served fills as a publisher but never requested one, so against a strict publisher a join degraded to the next group boundary. Request the canonical current-group join, a Next Object filter plus a StartGroup=1 FILL_PARAMETERS, and stitch the two streams back into one group. The fill stream creates the group from its first object's absolute IDs and hands the producer over on FIN; the subscription's subgroup stream peeks its first Object ID and appends the tail once the head lands. Fetch streams decode through a shared FetchObject codec the publisher encodes with too, so both directions agree byte for byte. The rest is what a head does when no tail claims it. An unclaimed head waits for the subscription to end, which already publishes it, and nothing shorter is safe to infer: a later group arriving looks like proof no tail is coming, but streams are independent and the tail's own can still be behind it. Finishing the head on that guess drops the tail when it lands, so a publisher that ends a group inside the fill leaves it unfinished until the subscription is, stalling a consumer draining in order rather than losing frames it was sent.

A moqt-20 subscription starts at the next object, so joining a live track part way through a group drops that group's head. The draft's answer is a fill: a fetch stream carrying the objects published before the subscription started. We served fills as a publisher but never requested one, so against a strict publisher a join degraded to the next group boundary. Request the canonical current-group join, a Next Object filter plus a StartGroup=1 FILL_PARAMETERS, and stitch the two streams back into one group. The fill stream creates the group from its first object's absolute IDs and hands the producer over on FIN; the subscription's subgroup stream peeks its first Object ID and appends the tail once the head lands. Fetch streams decode through a shared FetchObject codec the publisher encodes with too, so both directions agree byte for byte. The rest is what a head does when no tail claims it. An unclaimed head waits for the subscription to end, which already publishes it, and nothing shorter is safe to infer: a later group arriving looks like proof no tail is coming, but streams are independent and the tail's own can still be behind it. Finishing the head on that guess drops the tail when it lands, so a publisher that ends a group inside the fill leaves it unfinished until the subscription is, stalling a consumer draining in order rather than losing frames it was sent. Four cases settle it earlier, each on evidence rather than a guess: - An empty tail stream claims the head and finishes the group. - A head that does not meet the tail is refused, both halves go, and the head is published as the prefix it is. - A whole group arriving for a sequence the fill already headed means the publisher contradicted its own fill; the head is published and the duplicate stream dropped, since the model holds one producer per group. - SUBSCRIBE_OK without LARGEST_OBJECT says the track has no content, so no fetch stream is owed and the fill settles immediately.

Closes #3300, by policy rather than by implementation. Reworked from the original two-sided change: the publisher half is gone, the subscriber half stays.
What changed from the first revision
The first revision also stopped the publisher from serving a group that starts after object 0, rounding every filter start up to a group boundary. That contradicted the project's interop stance: we respond to partial-group requests (a Next Object join, an absolute filter naming an interior object) even though we never send them, so a draft-20 peer that asks for the live tail plus a fill still gets exactly that, a fetch stream for the cached head and a subgroup stream for the tail with its absolute first object id. The publisher is now untouched, which also keeps it out of the way of #3314.
Summary
Requesting or reading a partial group stays unsupported, and the subscriber now says so at the stream header:
Frame.decode(JS) andnext_object_id(Rust) hold every object to starting at 0 and incrementing by 1, whatever the header said and on the drafts that have no such bit to read.Since our subscriber will never read a trimmed-head group, #3300's ask (an initial object offset threaded through the group model) is moot; the asymmetry it describes is the intended shape. Publisher liberal, subscriber strict.
