perf(net): stop a front's first-seen track record holding retired routes - #7514
A JS Front kept a record of each track's first committed track.Info and of the Source that answered it, for the front's whole lifetime. That Source reference kept the route's table handle and wire reachable, and through them its lite Subscriber session and transport, long after the route had retired. The path is Front.#info → record → Source.from / wire → ConsumeBroadcast.#subscriber → Subscriber.#quic. A heap snapshot of a retained session confirmed the last two hops. A front that reads names first answered by each route (track-name churn plus route turnover) kept every retired route.
Fix (js/net/src/resume.ts): the record now stores the answering source's numeric Source.id. The only thing the record is used for is a comparison with the serving source (#splice, #verify). A replaced source is never served again, because serve always builds a new Source, so the comparison gives the same answer. The info history itself is kept, so incompatibility refusal and current-source reuse don't change. No API or wire change.
Fixture (js/net/bench/resume-history.ts, run by bench/browser/micro.ts --bench resume-history):
Moves long-lived fronts across real lite sessions over the in-memory transport, make-before-break, the way a session draining after GOAWAY does.
Sweeps fronts {1, 8} × names read per route {1, 8} × routes {2, 8, 32}. Each case uses stable names or churn names, and reads them by info lookup, fetch, or subscription. Every reader is closed.
A manual clock then ages out every cache. The 30 s window that drains a closed track's cache is included.
Weak references count the retired sessions, transports, broadcast handles and delivered payload buffers that are still reachable after full V8 collections. Chromium gets --expose-gc for this.
A concluded control must release everything, or the fixture fails.
It also reports the JS heap that the fronts and their serving route hold (--enable-precise-memory-info), plus serve_us and read_us.
Gate and nightly: the counts are exact under V8, so micro.ts fails the run when any variant still reaches a retired route. It fails only after writing every sample, so a leaking before revision still records its counts. bench/browser/run.sh adds the fixture to the browser smoke lane, which the Nightly bench-browser --smoke job runs. Its JSON lands in the bench-browser artifact. sh/gh/nightly.test.py now counts that lane as JS bench coverage.
Epic: Performance survey records the outcome for its reconciliation step.

One warmup, then 3 alternating rounds per variant (72 cases each).
Retired routes still reachable after cache age-out and full GC. Object counts were identical in all 3 rounds for every variant.

At 32 routes and 8 fronts, base keeps 31 sessions, 31 transports and 248 broadcast handles. Delivered payload kept through those retained sessions varied between rounds on base: 0 in most cases, 4,099–28,693 B in 10 of 72 cases. Current and aa kept 0 in all 216 samples.

That is about 24 KB per retired route for one front, and about 223 KB per retired route for 8 fronts reading 8 names. With one route retained, the stable overhead is fixed at 25–470 KB.
Transition CPU. These are instruction counts, from perf stat -e instructions:u. Bun ran pinned with taskset -c 7 to a P-core, with 5 alternating reps. Each figure is (512 routes − 0 routes) / 512 for one front with 8 names, using in-memory routes. It includes building each route's broadcast, plus GC and JIT threads.

stable is unchanged, within the A/A spread.
churn is 10% lower, and the base range does not overlap the candidate's or the A/A range. This fits the collector having less retained heap to mark. It was not profiled, so that cause is not established.
In the browser, read_us stayed at A/A level: the sum of medians was 41.6 ms for base, 39.6 ms for current, 39.6 ms for aa.
serve_us is limited by the page's coarse performance.now() and can't be compared.
The perf driver was a local script and is not committed: an in-memory front swapped across 512 broadcast.Producer routes. The browser fixture is the retained and scheduled benchmark.
Choices made without asking
Id rather than WeakRef or clearing on transition. A numeric id costs O(1), allocates nothing, and needs no scan of the record map on each serve, so transition work stays flat.
Route-health coordination. The Plan asks for coordination with route health before identity representation changes. I read selection.md, design.md and the draft moq-dev/moq#7096. None of them depends on the record holding a Source object. Track identity (the first-answer info and the incompatibility refusal) is unchanged; only the attribution became an id. Per-track source selection can compare ids in the same way.
The fixture is browser-only and gates there.
In Bun, JavaScriptCore scans the stack conservatively. In repeated Bun runs, the concluded control sometimes still reached a closed session or transport, so the counts are not deterministic there. The fixture therefore refuses to run under Bun.
It is not in the Bun nightly JS leg or the trend table. It runs in the browser smoke lane, and the exact counts fail that lane.
No merge-gate unit test. A reachability test would need a precise collector. bun test has none, so the nightly smoke lane is the regression gate.
Follow-ups
None proposed. Two observations for the epic's reconciliation, neither established as a cost:
An unprofiled stable transition with 8 live readers ran at about 5.2 M instructions, including route setup.
Payload reachable through retained sessions was not deterministic on base.

Round 1: quest review with Codex gpt-6.1-sol at medium effort, on head 06dde4309d2a85695ef7a468b2c8c41a6e51af08 against origin/mainc1a141282003. 0 findings.
Local checks on that head:
bun test in js/net: 2653 pass.
bun run check in js/net, plus tsc for bench/browser: pass.
biome check on the changed TS files: pass.
python3 sh/gh/nightly.test.py: 14 tests OK.
quest check --base origin/main: pass.
The browser smoke-lane run of resume-history (current + aa): pass.
A JS front records each track's first committed properties with the source
that answered them, for its whole lifetime. That reference kept the source's
table handle and wire reachable, and through them the route's session,
subscriber and transport, long after the route retired. A front reading new
names on each route kept every retired route.
Record the answering source by a numeric id instead: the record is only ever
compared against the serving source, and a replaced source is never served
again, so the comparison is unchanged.
Add a resume-history fixture to the browser micro harness. It moves fronts
across lite sessions over the in-memory transport, ages out every cache on a
manual clock, and counts retired sessions, transports, broadcast handles and
payload buffers still reachable through weak references after full V8
collections. Counts are exact there, so any retained route fails the run; the
browser smoke lane runs it nightly.

Walkthrough
Resume track metadata now stores a numeric source ID rather than a Source reference. A new browser benchmark replaces Lite routes, measures retained resources after cache expiry and garbage collection, and checks resource counts across access methods and route configurations. The browser runner, benchmark documentation, performance survey, and nightly coverage test now include resume-history.
Merge Risk: Low · up to e5e4a
Heap figures can include publisher teardown, making retention comparisons misleading. The change is otherwise mergeable with this limitation understood.

No actionable bugs found. Replacing the historical Source reference with its numeric identity removes the retention edge while preserving first-answer metadata and the compatibility checks in subscription and fetch paths. This is simpler than weak-reference bookkeeping or scanning history on each route transition, with no public API or wire change.
The browser fixture covers stable/churned names and all three access paths, checks serving/concluded controls, and persists measurements before failing on retained routes. The nightly wiring is consistent with that scope.
Verification limits: static GitHub source/diff review, including an independent pass over the benchmark and gate. I did not run tests, browser GC measurements, or reproduce the reported performance results.

resume.ts source identity. The front's first-seen track record now stores Source.id (a module-counter number) instead of the Source object, so the record no longer pins a retired route's broadcast handle, wire, lite Subscriber, and transport for the front's lifetime. Source is module-private, so no API surface moves.
Id equivalence. Object identity and the id agree on every record comparison: serve(from) early-returns on the same from and otherwise constructs a new Source, and ids are assigned once and never reused. All other Source uses (#verified keying, #askServed, Copy) stay on the object and are unchanged.
resume-history.ts fixture. A new browser sweep over fronts × names × routes, stable vs churn names, three read paths, counting retired sessions, transports, broadcast handles, and payload bytes via WeakRef after full GC under a manual clock; it fails a concluded control that keeps anything and refuses to run without a precise collector.
Gate wiring.micro.ts records the new fixture's 72 rows and fails the run when any variant's retired counts (columns 5..8) are nonzero; run.sh adds it to the smoke lane; nightly.test.py asserts the smoke recipe and derives the fixture set from run.sh.
Docs/quest. READMEs updated and the finished quest file deleted.
Verified python3 sh/gh/nightly.test.py locally (14 tests OK). bun test could not run here because the workspace install fails building js/libav without Nix; the identity-equivalence argument was checked by reading every Source usage in resume.ts.
Merged base without conflicts and applied only Ruff formatting to the new re.search expression in sh/gh/nightly.test.py. The original batch failed its Python format check at log lines 25–37. Python lint/format, all 14 nightly tests, 18 benchmark comparison tests, net type checks/build and all 2,667 tests, browser type checks and 10 tests, all four browser microbenchmarks, and the Rust benchmark check passed.
Follow-up: the resume-history fixture teardown control intermittently failed on system Chromium 155: 8 fronts, 1 names, 32 routes, churn, fetch: the control kept {"sessions":1,"transports":1,"broadcasts":8,"bytes":0} after concluding. The identical command passed on retry, and a complete run with the project-pinned Chromium 156 also passed all 72 cases for each variant. No benchmark logic was changed.

Correct the size_bytes measurement label.
held includes the live publisher and its tracks. The later heap reading follows broadcast.close() and publisher.close(). Thus, heldBytes also includes memory released by publisher teardown, not only memory held by the fronts and serving route. Keep the publisher live for both readings if this metric must isolate front retention. Otherwise, label the metric as total memory released by teardown.
