Summary

A product bug, not a test race. In Play::stream, a read returning Ok(None) (the track finished) after the instance had already closed hit the Ok(None) | Err(_) if instance.is_closed() => return arm, which records nothing. The same instance announced again then started a new reader, the Finished check missed, and the new subscription replayed the finished track's last group (2 starts on the pad). Under load the withdraw lands before the play reads its end.

• Ok(None) always records the end. Only Err with a closed instance is treated as the instance going away. A failure is unchanged (its record holds only for its own start anyway).
• The play loop's tokio::select! picked at random between the cancel arm and the read, so which arm saw an end was chance. It now polls in a fixed order through kio::wait: the track first, then the cancel (bridged with Waiter::poll_future). An end or failure that arrives alongside a cancel is always handled by the read arm, and a frame yields to a cancel before it is pushed, so a backlog never keeps a stopped reader playing. The cancel arm's ended() drain (and its unit test) is gone.
• New an_end_read_after_its_instance_closed_is_recorded drives Play::stream directly with a closed instance and a finished track, with and without a cancel alongside.
• a_reannounced_sibling_instance_does_not_replay_its_finish is re-enabled as it was on main (#[ignore] and its sh/gh/test-inventory.allow entry removed). The pad-probe gate from the previous round is dropped: the new test covers the arm deterministically.

Other select! uses in moq-gst, left as they are because none decides whether an end is recorded:

• source/imp.rs Session::run: the dial against shutdown.
• source/imp.rs Session::follow_path: shutdown, connection loss, announcements, and finished runs.
• source/imp.rs Reader::run: the subscribe against the cancel; a reader cancelled here never reaches its pad.
• source/imp.rs Pads::play, PadActor::run, follow_catalog, Follower::run: already biased;.
• sink/request_pad.rs demand and grant watch; sink/session.rs status loop (biased;).
• Two tests in source/imp.rs (requested_track on two broadcasts, and one at the end of the module).

Impact

No public API or wire change. Behavior: moqsrc no longer replays a finished track when its instance returns, and a play's end or failure that arrives alongside a cancel is always recorded.

Verification

• just check passes.
• an_end_read_after_its_instance_closed_is_recorded: fails 30/30 with the Ok(None) fix reverted, passes 30/30 with it. With the cancel polled before the track it fails on the cancelled case, so it also guards the poll order.
• a_reannounced_sibling_instance_does_not_replay_its_finish: passes 30/30.
• cargo test -p moq-gst --lib: 182 passed.
• Earlier repro: 2/300 failures running the session test with 16 busy CPU spinners before the fix; 0/600 after.

Decisions

• Decided 2026-11-11 (maintainer, via the coordinator): ✅ replace the play loop's select! with explicit polling in a deterministic order, per rs/AGENTS.md's kio conventions (rejected: accepting a test that fails 11 of 30 runs with the fix reverted; adding biased; to the select!).
• Poll order: ✅ the track before the cancel, with a frame yielding to a cancel (rejected: the cancel first, which needs the ended() drain to record an end that arrived alongside it, and leaves the closed-instance read arm reachable only when the follower has not cancelled yet).
• Deterministic test: ✅ a direct Play::stream test (rejected: forcing the session test). The session test cannot fail on every run with the fix reverted even with the play's poll order fixed and the play held until the instance closes: the follower's Following::poll_available folds the re-announce and the next instance's start into one hand-out about 1 run in 3, so the re-announced instance never gets a reader to replay. Only a product hook could expose that to the test.

Caused by

• moq-dev/moq#6394 - merged Ok(None) into the closed-instance arm, so an end read after the instance closed recorded nothing, and raced the read against the cancel with an unbiased select!.

Walkthrough

Play::stream now polls track reads alongside cancellation and records clean track ends even after instance closure. Errors on a closed instance end the instance. The sibling reannounce test is enabled, and a new test checks completion after broadcast closure with and without cancellation. The test inventory entry and planning document are removed.

Merge Risk: Low · up to c03d9

This change records a finished track's end even after its instance has closed, which prevents a re-announced instance from replaying a finished track. One narrow timing window remains: an end that arrives just as playback is cancelled can go unrecorded and let a later play of the same instance replay the last group. The impact is small and bounded, so it can be handled as a follow-up.

ℹ️ The fix is sound — two small notes inline, nothing blocking.

Reviewed changes

• The arm split in Play::stream — Ok(None) now always records the track's end (finished.insert(..., false)) even when the instance is already closed, leaving only Err under a closed instance as "the instance went away". I checked the underlying semantics: moq_net's track consumer only reads Ok(None) for a settled declared end, with dropped and aborted tracks reading Err, and broadcast::Producer::close explicitly leaves handed-out tracks to their own finish or abort — so Ok(None) here really is the track's end and not the instance's, and recording it start-independently matches the Finished contract.
• Test re-enabled — a_reannounced_sibling_instance_does_not_replay_its_finish loses its #[ignore] and the matching sh/gh/test-inventory.allow entry.
• Quest deleted — the completed quest/m0/test-flakes-2/gst-sibling-reannounce.md child goes; no inbound links remain.

4761-4761: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Add deterministic coverage of the clean-EOF arm.

After this release, both cancel.changed() and track.read() can be ready. If cancellation wins, the unchanged branch at Line 1822 records completion through ended(). The test can therefore pass without exercising the changed arm.

Keep this reannounce test, but add a focused test with a closed instance, a finished track, and an unsignalled cancellation channel. Assert that Play::stream records a finish that matches a later Attached::start. This directly covers the behavior that previously failed.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed the delta from da4f9c6 to 0a3a076; the Play::stream fix itself is unchanged, so this pass covers the new test commit and the allow-list cleanup.

• Held the play in its first push — a BUFFER pad probe installed in the first pad-added parks Play::stream inside pad.push until the test has finished the track, withdrawn the route, and seen its End, so the Ok(None) read no longer depends on host load to land on a closed instance.
• Documented the residual race — the comment records that the follower's cancel still races that read through select!, so a reverted fix fails often rather than always; with the fix both arms record and the test cannot false-fail.
• Dropped the dangling allow-list header — removing the last entry under # Flaked under a loaded \just check`` also removed the now-empty section.

I checked the probe ordering the test relies on: PadActor::play pushes stream-start and caps, then add_pad emits pad-added (where the probe is installed), then the play pushes its first buffer; the gate handler is connected before Recorder::attach, so it blocks the buffer before the recorder's drop probe. The push runs under block_in_place, so the blocked probe occupies a blocking thread rather than stalling the runtime, and moq_mux's finish is non-blocking, so finish_video() + await_finished() complete while the play is parked. This sandbox has no gstreamer-1.0, so the test was not run here.

CodeRabbit's nitpick (deterministic coverage of the clean-EOF arm) is addressed in c03d92c: an_end_read_after_its_instance_closed_is_recorded drives Play::stream with a closed instance, a finished track, and a cancel channel that is either untouched or already signalled, and asserts the end is recorded for a later Attached::start. It fails 30/30 with the fix reverted. The play loop also no longer uses select!: it polls the track before the cancel, so a cancel can no longer win that race.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed the delta from 0a3a076 to c03d92c, which reworks how Play::stream waits and replaces the session-level regression test with a direct one.

• Track-first polling replaces the unbiased select! — the loop waits through kio::wait, polling Consumer::poll_read first and bridging cancel.changed() with Waiter::poll_future only once the read is Pending, so a ready end or failure always reaches the read arm while a buffered frame still yields to a pending cancel.
• The ended() drain and its test are gone — a cancelled reader no longer peeks the track once more; the poll order carries that guarantee now, and the helper's marker-skipping read disappears with it.
• an_end_read_after_its_instance_closed_is_recorded added — a hand-built Play over a finished track and a closed instance asserts the end is recorded for the next start, in both the uncancelled and pre-cancelled iterations.
• a_reannounced_sibling_instance_does_not_replay_its_finish restored to its plain form — the pad-probe gate from 0a3a076 is dropped now that the arm is covered deterministically.

I traced the wait loop against rs/kio/src/waiter.rs and Pending/Park: a Pending from either the consumer or the watch bridge always leaves a live registration, a Ready from poll_read short-circuits the cancel, and has_changed() does not mark the value seen, so no wakeup is lost and the loop cannot spin or park forever. I also followed the new test through moq_mux's finish path and broadcast::close: with no groups written, the first poll_read is Ready(Ok(None)) on every run, so the test fails deterministically if the Ok(None) record is reverted and cannot depend on host load.
