Problem

Recording cursors could finalize truncated HLS exports: closing an unfinished window returned success, and lagging cursors silently skipped evicted rows or unavailable media.

Approach

Require confirmed catalog and reference timeline completion before the rendition cursor ends. A failed reference reports its error even while the catalog remains open. Segment cursors drain covered media, reject incomplete closure and missed append positions, and distinguish declared rendition gaps from unavailable media. Catalog removal and reconfiguration report Removed and cleanly drain the old cursor through its existing timeline watcher, including delayed records.

Impact

• Breaking Rust API: export::renditions::Consumer::next returns Result<Option<Event>>. Migrate with while let Some(event) = cursor.next().await?, and finalize a recording only after the rendition cursor and every segment cursor return Ok(None). The rendition cursor waits for a clean catalog and reference timeline end; closing or dropping an unfinished broadcaster returns Error::IncompleteRecording instead of success.
• Mark the recording truncated on IncompleteRecording, RecordingLagged, SegmentUnavailable, or TimelineFailed. Fetch/transmux errors leave the cursor on the same segment, so call next() again to retry. A new segment cursor starts at the oldest row still retained.
• Segment cursors report IncompleteRecording, RecordingLagged, or SegmentUnavailable { segment } instead of completing or skipping lost media. Catalog and timeline errors propagate. A denied referenced broadcast still fails the segment cursor with its authorization error first.
• No wire-format change. HTTP segment cache misses remain 404s.
• Completes and removes quest/m1/hls-teardown.md, unblocking the CLI recorder quest. quest/m2/hls-restart-drain-cutoff.md now states the settled end semantics inline: its cutoff must end the old windows, not just close them.

Alternatives

Resuming at retained media would still hide truncated recordings. Freezing removed renditions immediately would lose delayed media, so existing watchers continue draining; a finite restart drain cutoff belongs to its separate quest.

Validation

just fix, quest check --base origin/main, and just ci pass. The final gate ran 413 HLS/CLI tests plus 226 CLI playback-feature tests. Coverage includes unfinished closes, catalog/reference failures with exact cause propagation, both clean completion orders, pre-read eviction, missing media, declared gaps, removal/reconfiguration, and delayed own-timeline draining. just test interop --all passed across Rust, Python, Go, C++, browser/native JavaScript, C, and GStreamer, including authorization controls and finite-tail checks.

Iteration

Merged main, keeping the authorization check from moq-dev/moq#6495 ahead of the segment cursor's window poll, and both MIGRATE.md entries. Dropped the restart drain cutoff quest's links to the deleted quest. Every posted review finding was already fixed on the previous head. After the merge, just check (219 moq-hls tests) and quest check --base origin/main pass.

Merged main again after moq-dev/moq#6610: took main's rs/moq-hls/MIGRATE.md and moved this PR's migration note into Impact above, and kept quest/m1/hls-teardown.md deleted over main's wording edit.

Follow-ups

None added. The existing CLI recorder and restart drain cutoff quests retain their scope.

Walkthrough

The HLS recording cursors now distinguish confirmed completion from incomplete recordings, lagged rows, unavailable media, and catalog or reference failures. Segment cursors track append positions and reset epochs. Rendition cursors return fallible events and end cleanly only after catalog and reference completion. Tests cover cursor errors, rendition removal, reconfiguration, and draining. Quest documentation was removed or updated to reflect the completion rules.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to d2a12

The checked cursor completion and removal paths preserve the intended behavior; no identified issue blocks merging.

Use ready! instead of a manual Poll::Pending => return Poll::Pending arm.

The changed match still keeps Poll::Pending => return Poll::Pending on line 584. The repository convention is ready!(...). Fold the pending case into ready! and keep the two Ready arms.

♻️ Proposed refactor

-		let found = match self.state.poll(waiter, |state| -> Poll<Result<Option<Row>>> {
+		let found = match std::task::ready!(self.state.poll(waiter, |state| -> Poll<Result<Option<Row>>> {
 			match state.next_at(self.position)? {
 				Next::Ready(row) => Poll::Ready(Ok(Some(row))),
 				Next::Done => Poll::Ready(Ok(None)),
 				Next::Pending => Poll::Pending,
 			}
-		}) {

-			Poll::Pending => return Poll::Pending,

+			Err(_) => return Poll::Ready(Err(crate::Error::IncompleteRecording)),
 		};

As per coding guidelines: "Use ready!(...) instead of Poll::Pending => return Poll::Pending."

796-797: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use a distinct error in both rendition failure tests.

Consumer::poll_next can return synthetic IncompleteRecording when the stored failure is absent. These tests can therefore pass even if the injected catalog or reference error is lost. Use the distinct NoVariants error to test propagation.

🧪 Suggested fix

-		producer.finish(Err(crate::Error::IncompleteRecording));
-		assert!(matches!(cursor.next().await, Err(crate::Error::IncompleteRecording)));
+		producer.finish(Err(crate::Error::NoVariants));
+		assert!(matches!(cursor.next().await, Err(crate::Error::NoVariants)));

-			.fail(Some(&reference), crate::Error::IncompleteRecording);
+			.fail(Some(&reference), crate::Error::NoVariants);
 		producer.finish(Ok(()));
-		assert!(matches!(cursor.next().await, Err(crate::Error::IncompleteRecording)));
+		assert!(matches!(cursor.next().await, Err(crate::Error::NoVariants)));
