Implements quest/m2/anchor-oldest.md and deletes it.

Summary

Range::oldest() now starts at a new Anchor::Oldest variant instead of Anchor::Relative(u64::MAX). Every Relative(n) means n groups back from the latest one, clamped to group 0, whatever the size of n:

• A peer's Relative(u64::MAX) and Relative(u64::MAX - 1) now resolve the same way: they wait for a latest group, give group 0 as a floor, count as relative demand, and are not is_wire. Before, the first one silently turned into the oldest start.
• The lite-07 encoder sends Anchor::Oldest as no anchor (type 0), the way the oldest start is spelled on the wire. It sends every relative count as it is, since lite-07's varint carries a full u64. Before, the encoder turned any count larger than MAX_QUIC into the oldest start.
• Lite before 07 and IETF: is_wire and needs_resolution treat Oldest and Relative(0) as the only starts these wires can carry. Any other relative count is resolved or refused, the same as u64::MAX - 1 already was.
• Window resolution, demand aggregation (Shape::Oldest), Subscription::clamped, joins_live, route resumption and the idle-copy check all match on Oldest instead of the sentinel. Each keeps its old behavior for the oldest start.
• An Oldest end is refused with Error::InvalidRange, since no hop can tell which group is the oldest one still around upstream. Window::new refuses it on a hop that holds groups. A routed reader holds no groups of its own, so it refuses it itself before it waits on a copy. Range::is_empty counts such a range as empty, so it never enters the demand a lite or IETF hop asks upstream, and other readers on the track are untouched. The doc for InvalidRange now covers this case.
• JS already models the oldest start as an omitted start, with no sentinel, so it needs no change. In Rust, Oldest sorts after Relative in the derived Ord, which keeps the canonical union order the same as JS's compare.
• Bindings: C gets MOQ_ANCHOR_OLDEST = 3, and moq.h now declares moq_anchor_kind (it was missing from cbindgen's enum list). UniFFI gets MoqAnchor::Oldest, added as the last variant. The Go, Kotlin, Python, Swift and Dart wrappers mirror it, and the Dart bindings are regenerated.

Public API and wire impact

Breaking (!):

• moq_net::track::Anchor gains Oldest, so exhaustive matches need a new arm. Migration: where code built Anchor::Relative(u64::MAX) to mean "the oldest group", use Anchor::Oldest or Range::oldest(). A Relative(u64::MAX) still works but now means "clamp to group 0". It no longer reaches back as far as the max delay allows without naming a floor.
• MoqAnchor (UniFFI) gains Oldest, and moq_anchor_kind (C) gains MOQ_ANCHOR_OLDEST. Exhaustive matches in the bindings need a new arm.

Wire: no format change. The lite-07 encoder now sends a count back larger than 2^62 - 1 as that count, instead of as no anchor.

Caused by

• moq-dev/moq#5732 - introduced Range::oldest as the Relative(u64::MAX) sentinel.

Choices made without asking

• An Oldest end is refused (InvalidRange) rather than given a meaning. The alternative was a separate end type, which would be a larger break across every binding for a case nobody has asked for.

Choices made without asking (iterate round)

• The Kotlin MOQ_FFI_RANGE floor stays as it is. The shared minor cut that ships this breaking binding change rewrites it (sh/version.py FFI_REQUIREMENTS), and no released moq-ffi has Oldest yet.

Validation

• Iterate round: just ci passed after merging origin/main. New tests: an_oldest_end_adds_no_demand, and a_routed_reader_refuses_an_oldest_end now also runs with no copy served.

• just check: passed, including the 11167 Rust tests, the bindings and Dart.

• just test interop --all: all checks passed.

• New tests: relative_anchors_count_back_from_the_latest_group (u64::MAX and u64::MAX - 1 agree), an_oldest_end_is_refused, and wire_ranges_name_whole_groups (the oldest start goes out with no anchor, Relative(u64::MAX) goes out unchanged), a_routed_reader_refuses_an_oldest_end.

Important

An Anchor::Oldest end is refused only at the window, after the range has already joined the shared demand, so a request the PR documents as refused can still widen the relay's upstream subscription to the whole track. Details below.

Reviewed changes

• Anchor::Oldest: replaces the Range::oldest() = Relative(u64::MAX) sentinel; declared after Relative so the derived Ord keeps the canonical order JS's compare uses. Relative(n) is now uniformly "n back from latest, clamped to group 0".
• Wire mapping: lite-07 encodes Oldest as no anchor and forwards every relative count verbatim; pre-07 wire_span still collapses non-absolute starts to the oldest start, so no pre-07 regression. IETF needs_resolution/resolve_subscription resolve Relative(n != 0).
• Refusal: Window::place rejects an Oldest end with InvalidRange where the hop resolves ranges itself; Unheld defers to the routed copy, covered by a_routed_reader_refuses_an_oldest_end.
• Model followers: demand Shape/covers, Subscription::clamped/joins_live, resume::resolve, and the lite idle-copy check all match Oldest instead of the sentinel.
• Bindings and quest: C MOQ_ANCHOR_OLDEST, UniFFI MoqAnchor::Oldest (last, so Dart regenerates as ordinal 4), Go/Kotlin/Python/Swift/Dart aliases, and the quest file deleted with its m2 README bullet.

⚠️ A refused Oldest end still widens the shared demand

Window::new is the only place an Anchor::Oldest end is refused, but by then the range has already been registered as shared demand, and it survives the demand union because Range::is_empty does not treat an Oldest end as empty. So Subscriber::subscribe and Control::update accept it, the aggregate carries it, and the wire encodes it as an open end (the widest possible request), while the reader itself only ever sees InvalidRange. The fix belongs where unresolved time anchors are already refused, before demand changes.

Technical details

# Refuse an Anchor::Oldest end before it changes shared demand

## Affected sites
- `rs/moq-net/src/model/subscription/window.rs:1078` — the refusal, which runs after demand
  registration.
- `rs/moq-net/src/model/track.rs:5154` — `Consumer::resolve` registers `Preferences` (shared
  demand) before `Subscribing::poll_ok` builds the window.
- `rs/moq-net/src/model/track.rs:5238` — `refuse_subscription`, which gates only unresolved
  time anchors; `Subscribing::poll_ok` (track.rs:5799) and `Control::update`
  (track.rs:8751) skip it unless `has_time()`.
- `rs/moq-net/src/model/track/demand.rs:150` — `Subscriptions::replace` folds every range
  into `Ranges`; `Shape::of` (track/demand/ranges.rs:41) puts an `Oldest` end in `Mixed`
  because `Range::is_empty` (subscription.rs:277) only knows absolute ends.
- `rs/moq-net/src/lite/subscriber.rs:9343` and
  `rs/moq-net/src/ietf/subscriber.rs:14247` — the wire turns that end into `None`, i.e. the
  live edge.

## Concrete scenario
An app calls `track::Consumer::subscribe` or `Control::update` with
`Range { start: Anchor::Absolute(5), end: Some(Anchor::Oldest) }`. The subscription is
accepted, its range joins the track's aggregate, and a relay's upstream SUBSCRIBE asks from
group 5 to the live edge instead of failing, pulling the whole tail into the cache while the
reader errors on its first read. `resume.rs:168` (`clamped` keeps an `Oldest` end) gives the
routed case the same path.

## Required outcome
- A refused request cannot change the demand the relay sends upstream, and the refusal surfaces
  from `subscribe`/`update` as `Error::InvalidRange`, consistent with `TimestampMismatch`.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Teach `refuse_subscription` to reject any range ending at `Anchor::Oldest` (no holdings
  needed) and widen the `has_time()` guards at track.rs:5799 and track.rs:8751 so the check
  runs. Keep the window refusal as the backstop for routed copies, or make
  `Range::is_empty` true for an `Oldest` end so the range contributes nothing to the union.

ℹ️ The lite-07 draft leaves a Groups Back past the latest group undefined

drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:1505 still says only "the Group that many before the latest, 0 being the latest", but this PR makes the clamp to group 0 load-bearing and the lite-07 encoder now sends counts past 2^62 - 1 verbatim instead of rewriting them to no anchor. A third-party peer reading the draft has no rule for a count below the latest group, so it may refuse what our encoder now sends.

Technical details

# Define a Relative count past the latest group in the lite draft

## Affected sites
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:1505` — the Relative anchor's definition, silent on
  `Groups Back > latest`.
- `drafts/draft-lcurley-moq-lite.md:2252` — `### Subscriptions` changelog under `moq-lite-07-wip`.
- `rs/moq-net/src/model/subscription.rs:192` — the Rust model already documents "clamped to
  group 0"; `js/net/src/track.ts:273` mirrors it.

## Required outcome
- A peer reading only the draft resolves any `Groups Back`, however large, to group 0 the same
  way `rs/moq-net` and `js/net` do.

## Suggested approach (optional)
- Add one normative sentence beside the Relative anchor: a count past the latest Group
  resolves to Group 0. Per `drafts/AGENTS.md`, also add a `### Subscriptions` changelog bullet
  under the in-progress `moq-lite-07-wip` version, since this states a resolution the text
  previously left undefined.

Walkthrough

The subscription model adds Anchor::Oldest to represent the oldest group still available within the maximum delay. Range handling, wire encoding, and anchor resolution now distinguish it from Relative(u64::MAX). The C API and FFI add the variant, and language bindings expose or document it. The oldest-anchor quest entry and document are removed.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 0c212

The oldest-start behavior has bounded remaining risks: invalid end ranges can wait or generate unwanted traffic, and some C or Kotlin consumers cannot use the new anchor. Mergeability is low risk with explicit ownership of these fixes; no broad production failure is established.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head 0c2125f.

No actionable findings. Making Oldest explicit separates an unbounded historical start from a relative count that must wait for the latest group. The window, demand aggregation, resumption and legacy-wire checks preserve that distinction, while lite-07 retains full-width relative counts instead of silently changing their meaning. Invalid Oldest ends are refused by the serving copy and propagated to routed readers rather than panicking. The binding additions retain the existing variant tags and document the migration.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of all 19 changed files and surrounding range resolution, demand union, publisher decoding, IETF bounds and varint code. No builds, binding generation, tests or interoperability checks run; reported runtime results remain author-provided. Rechecked open/non-draft state, full head/base and published reviews immediately before posting.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed the substantive update from 0c2125f to e62390c, excluding unrelated changes merged from main.

No new actionable findings. The update improves the previous implementation: Oldest-ended ranges are excluded from the demand union, and routed readers now report InvalidRange without needing a serving copy. The shared refusal check also covers completion and recovery. Explicitly exporting moq_anchor_kind fixes the C header omission. Keeping validation in the range model and routed reader avoids adding wire-specific handling for an invalid end.

Verification limits: GitHub-only static review of the incremental changes and surrounding demand aggregation, subscription clamping, route synchronization and recovery paths. No builds, generated-header checks, tests or interoperability runs performed. Open/non-draft state, full head/base and existing reviews were rechecked immediately before posting.

[pullfrog]

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes

Since the prior pullfrog review at 0c2125fe8, the delta is one fix commit, plus a main merge that changes no PR lines:

• An Oldest end asks nothing upstream: Range::is_empty now treats any range ending at Anchor::Oldest as empty, so Shape::of classifies it Empty and it drops out of the demand union; lite wire_ranges then returns None (no upstream SUBSCRIBE) and IETF wire_bounds never sees the end. This closes the demand widening the prior round flagged.
• Routed readers refuse it themselves: Reader::refusal returns InvalidRange for an Oldest end in the mirrored ranges, replacing the bare refused checks in poll_lowest, poll_finished, and Recover::poll. a_routed_reader_refuses_an_oldest_end now covers both a served and an unserved copy.
• C header exposes the new variant: moq_anchor_kind joined cbindgen's ENUMS, so the generated moq.h declares MOQ_ANCHOR_OLDEST = 3.
• Demand test: an_oldest_end_adds_no_demand pins the empty-union behavior, and the randomized counted_demand_matches_a_full_fold already generates Oldest ends, so the incremental union is checked against the full fold.

I ran the focused suites locally (an_oldest_end_adds_no_demand, a_routed_reader_refuses_an_oldest_end, an_oldest_end_is_refused, counted_demand_matches_a_full_fold, wire_ranges_name_whole_groups, and the lite empty-range tests) and all pass.
