fix(net): a lite-07 reader survives browsers losing a group stream's reset - #8673
Finishes quest/m1/stream-credit/browser-resets.md and its epic: just test stream-credit now passes reliably on lite-07 in Chromium and Firefox, and runs nightly.
Summary
The harness from moq-dev/moq#8652 failed for three reasons, two of them browser bugs. Both bugs hit a reset that lands about a millisecond after its stream's data, before the page has read it, which is what a YIELDED reset of a just-opened stream does.
Chromium 156 loses the reset. The relay logged that Chromium acknowledged the RESET_STREAM, yet the page's stream never ended or errored, so the lite-07 tail waited on it forever. The cause is in Chromium's source: the network service accepts the stream and answers Blink's AcceptUnidirectionalStream on one mojo pipe, while OnReceivedResetStream travels on the WebTransportClient pipe. A reset that arrives before Blink registers the stream finds nothing in incoming_stream_map_ and is dropped. The FIN path covers that race with closed_potentially_pending_streams_; the reset path has no equivalent.
Firefox 157 drops the code. The same race surfaces as TypeError: Error in input stream with no streamErrorCode, so a YIELDED group aborted instead of pausing. In one run, 339 of the roughly 1100 YIELDED resets sent within 5 ms of the data lost their code, and none of the 30 sent 50 ms or later did. Plain RESET_STREAM and RESET_STREAM_AT behaved the same.
The harness's YIELDED check depended on timing. Every track started its groups at the same instant, so the relay usually handed out credit in priority order without yielding. With a release-built relay, some runs continued no paused group at all.
Changes:
js/net (lite-07 reader) copes with both browsers. A lite-07 publisher owes every reset group a continuation or a SUBSCRIBE_DROP, and the reader now uses that:
A drop that names a group whose stream is still being read excuses that stream. The subscription's end waits for it at most the grace, the same bound it already puts on a group whose header never arrived (Tail gains Counted.excuse and Counted.restore). The draft already counts a dropped stream as settled. A stale (OLD) drop excuses the stream only while its update number is current, so the next SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE restores the hold.
A later stream for a group whose earlier stream is still open (a continuation or re-offer) ends the earlier stream and treats it as YIELDED, instead of waiting forever on a reset that was lost.
A group stream reset with no code (Reader.uncoded) pauses its group as YIELDED would; the continuation or drop then settles it.
A final drop that overtook a stream's header excuses that stream too, and keeps excusing it after a later stale drop of the group expires.
A recovery (the lite-07 SUBSCRIBE that re-asks groups its copy's subscription will not send again) settles its tail before its FIN, so an excused stream holds it at most the grace, and Tail.reading counts excused streams, so the fills keep the recovery while a paused group waits on its continuation.
The lite-07 draft allows both new reader behaviors, with a changelog bullet.
The harness starts the high tier's groups half an interval after the others, so the relay must pause a lower group every time (about 1200 to 1800 continuations per lite-07 cell).
just test stream-credit runs in the nightly interop workflow after "Stream limits over WebSocket", and leaves sh/gh/test-inventory.allow.
The quest and the stream-credit epic README are deleted. The m3 takeover quest's link now points at moq-dev/moq#8545.
Decisions
Made unattended. Each can be changed in review:
JS only, Rust unchanged, as the quest's Plan said ("make the JS reader stop waiting"). The Rust transports (moq-quic, qmux) deliver every reset with its code, so these paths would never run there. The draft makes both behaviors a MAY, so the Rust reader, which still waits for the earlier stream's reset, stays compliant. Not chosen: mirroring the paths in Rust for parity, which adds code that no Rust transport exercises.
An excused stream gets the grace rather than being dropped at once. A stream that is still legitimately delivering, such as one the publisher served after its own stale drop, normally finishes within a round trip, so the subscription's end doesn't cut it off. Not chosen: letting a drop release the stream at once, which the draft would also allow.
A later stream ends the earlier one instead of waiting. Without this, a continuation that follows a lost YIELDED reset waits forever and the group never completes. The continuation starts at the earlier stream's Frame Start, so no frame is lost; a re-offer carries the same content.
Only a reset with no code pauses. A reset with a code keeps its meaning, so OLD still ends the group at once. Not chosen: pausing on every reset, which would delay readers on a header-retaining reliable reset that no drop follows.
An excused stream's state follows from its verdict. Whether a stream is excused is recomputed from its drop verdict under the current update (judge in lite/subscriber.ts) each time the verdict or the update changes, instead of being flipped by each event. Review rounds 2 and 3 each found a path where the event-driven version kept a stale excuse; this design removes that class of bug. Not chosen: patching each path, which is what produced those findings.
Every verdict a drop accounts for excuses its stream, taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review. excused now holds for accounted and accounted-stale at any update, as yieldError already treats both as final, and only a bare stale drop expires. Rejected: Pullfrog's one-line case "accounted", which still restores the hold when a later stale drop over a final one expires on the next update (the final then stale test case fails with it).
A recovery honors excused streams through Tail.settle, taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review. An excused stream holds the recovery's FIN at most the grace, as at a subscription's end. Rejected: counting excused streams as reading with no grace, which hangs a recovery on a lost reset forever; leaving recovery as it was, which FINs while a continuation is still owed and aborts the paused group.
A later stream still supersedes the one being read, whichever header the page decodes first, taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review. CodeRabbit flagged that a continuation decoded before its original would itself be superseded. The original's header reaches the page first unless the network reorders the continuation's first packet ahead of both the original's data and its RESET_STREAM, which the publisher sent first: a sender stops retransmitting after RESET_STREAM (RFC 9000 §13.3), the browser hands streams to the page in stream ID order, and a continuation needs fresh stream credit, at least a round trip after the reset. Rejected: adding a publisher-side order signal to the wire for that window.
Only a drop excuses a stream, not a gap the grace gave up on, taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review, after CodeRabbit's finding. A header covered only by an expired gap is still delivering, so excusing it let the end FIN mid-stream. The accounted verdict now records whether a final drop named the group. Tail keeps those final drops (Tail.drop, Tail.dropped), billed to the track's account like its finished runs. Under the pool's debt they fold into the one span they reach. That excuses a gap stream for at most the grace, but never forgets a drop, which would leave a lost reset holding the end forever. Rejected: reading the track's drop set, which Codex's round 3 showed can be shed or expire before the overtaken header arrives.
Diagnostics left out. The relay-side tracing (each group stream's ID, and whether its RESET_STREAM was sent, released, and acked) and the in-page trace were used only to find the bugs. Neither is worth keeping.
Upstream reports become a follow-up quest. Filing at crbug.com and bugzilla.mozilla.org is outside the moq orgs and needs the maintainer's go-ahead.
Follow-ups
quest/m4/browser-reset-reports.md (S): file the Chromium and Firefox bugs with a minimal repro. Open decision for the maintainer: approve filing outside the moq orgs, after checking each tracker's policy on LLM-written reports. Recommendation: file both. Kept by the maintainer on 2026-11-13; filing still waits on their go-ahead.
Validation
Reproduced both browser failures on the first iteration of a loop over one lite-07 cell (release relay): two or three Chromium subscriptions stuck open, and 342 Firefox groups ending in a codeless TypeError. A temporary relay patch logged each group stream's ID, its reset, and its ack, and decoded each stream's GROUP header back to subscription and sequence. A temporary in-page trace confirmed the stuck stream's read never settled (tail active=1).
With the fixes, release relay, lite-07 only: Chromium 20/20 and Firefox 15/15 passed.
As shipped (debug relay, all four cells): 6/6 full runs of just test stream-credit passed, 24 cells.
The new unit tests fail with the fix disabled and pass with it: a drop lets the end give up on a stream that never ends (drop before or after its header), and a reset without its code pauses the group (then continued, or then dropped). Also an excused-stream Tail test, plus updated tests for a continuation or re-offer ending the earlier stream.
Unit tests from review: an update restores the hold a stale drop excused, and an update while a continuation waits keeps its hold on the end. Each fails without its fix.
bun test in js/net: 3291 pass. just check passes.
Iterate round: the drop before its header cases now process the drop before the header arrives (respond alone did not, so the drop used to land after the group was created). With that, a final drop before the header, and one under a later stale drop plus an update, each fail without the excused fix; the second also fails with only Pullfrog's one-line fix. A final drop after the header aborts the group, which ends the read at once, so it needs no excuse. a recovery waits for the continuation of a group a reset without its code paused fails without the recovery fix (the recovery ends right after the uncoded reset) and passes with it. Rust has no excuse state (rs/moq-net/src/tail.rs waits on every active stream, and its transports deliver each reset with its code), so neither gap applies there.
Land round: a stream whose gap the grace gave up on still holds the end fails when accounted excuses unconditionally and passes with the fix. a tail folds its final drops under debt checks that the fold stays within the pool and still names every dropped sequence. The final then stale drop both before its header case, from CodeRabbit, failed until a header under a stale drop over a final one started as accounted-stale (headerVerdict). Codex rounds 4 and 5: 10/10, no findings. bun test in js/net: 3291 pass. just check passes.
just test interop --all: 214 pass, 1 fail. The failure is refused session in the WebSocket close-code case: the client reconnects after malformed auth token instead of closing. This branch changes no connection or reconnect code. moq-dev/moq#8618 ("the reconnect loop stops judging errors by kind") landed on main at 19:15 today, after the last nightly, and is the likely cause. I did not reproduce it on main.
Impact
Public API: none. Tail, Counted, and Reader.uncoded are internal.
Wire: lite-07-wip (unpublished) gains two subscriber-side MAYs. Publishers are unaffected and nothing on the wire changes.
Caused by
moq-dev/moq#8652: its workload started every track's groups together, which left the YIELDED check to timing. The browser bugs are upstream, not caused by any single PR here.

…the browser lost
Chromium drops a RESET_STREAM that reaches an incoming stream it has not
handed to the page yet, leaving that stream open forever, so a lite-07
tail waited on it forever. A drop naming the stream's group now excuses
it, waited for at most the grace, and a later stream for the group ends
the earlier one as YIELDED instead of waiting on its reset.

… yields
Every track started its groups at once, so the relay handed out credit in
priority order and rarely had to pause a lower group: a fast relay could
finish a run without one YIELDED reset, failing the check that paused
groups continued. Starting the top tier's groups half an interval later,
while the lower tiers hold every credit, makes the relay yield every time.

Firefox reports a reset that lands before the page read the stream's
data as a bare TypeError, so a YIELDED group aborted instead of pausing,
and its continuation found nothing to continue. A lite-07 publisher owes
every reset group a continuation or a drop, so a codeless reset now
pauses the group, waited for at most the grace.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds just test stream-credit to the nightly interop workflow now that it
passes reliably, lets a lite-07 subscriber end a Group Stream once a later
one for its Group arrives and pause a Group whose reset lost its code in
the draft, and finishes the stream-credit epic. The upstream browser
reports wait on the maintainer in quest/m4/browser-reset-reports.md.

…update
A stream's hold on the subscription's end was excused and restored by
events, so a continuation that captured a stale drop at its header kept
that excuse after an update reopened the drop while it waited out the
copy it replaces, even once its verdict was owed. The excuse now follows
the stream's verdict under the current update, rechecked when it
registers, when a drop names it, and on each update.

Reviewed changes
Reviewed the full PR: the lite-07 JS reader changes that cope with Chromium losing a group stream's reset and Firefox dropping its code, plus the draft text, the harness offset, and the nightly wiring.
Tail excused streams: Tail.open returns a Counted handle (done / excuse / restore). settle now gives up on excused streams once the grace passes, and clears them so the FIN's later settle doesn't wait another grace.
Drop verdict drives the excuse: judge recomputes each stream's excuse from its YieldVerdict under the current update. It runs when a stream registers, in #dropPaused, and on every SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE, so a stale drop's excuse lifts once an update reopens it.
Later stream supersedes the earlier one: a continuation or re-offer stops the copy still being read, and that copy is treated as YIELDED. The new stream then resumes the paused group through #resume, keeping any partial frame in ingest.partial.
Uncoded reset pauses: Reader.uncoded flags a read that failed with no stream code. A lite-07 group then pauses as on YIELDED and its stream is excused. Errors that sessionCause swaps in for a closed session are excluded.
Draft, harness, CI: the draft gains two subscriber MAYs and a changelog bullet. The driver starts the top tier half an interval late so the relay must yield. just test stream-credit runs nightly and leaves test-inventory.allow. The quest files are retired, and a follow-up m4 quest records the upstream bug reports.
The change updates tail-read handles to support completion, excusing, and restoration. The lite-07 subscriber now handles uncoded resets and allows a later stream for the same group to supersede an earlier read. Tests cover these cases and related drop and update behavior. The stream-credit publisher and documentation are updated, and the interop workflow now runs that suite and reports its outcome.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to ef529
In rare browser cases where a stream reset is lost, a subscription's end can wait forever after a final drop is followed by a stale drop before the group header arrives. Reordered stream headers can also leave a group paused. Fix the first before merging; the second is a low-likelihood design trade-off.

Important
Ready apart from one open, one-line gap: a final drop that overtakes a stream's header still leaves that stream holding the subscription's end forever if Chromium loses its reset. The earlier Pullfrog thread on excused still applies at ca27ecb, and approval is held until it is fixed or the maintainer waives it.
Reviewed changes
Reviewed the full PR at ca27ecb: the lite-07 JS reader's handling of browsers losing a group stream's reset or its code, the draft text, the harness offset, and the nightly wiring.
Tail excused streams: open returns a Counted (done / excuse / restore). settle gives up on excused streams once the grace passes, and clears them so the FIN's later settle doesn't wait a second grace. The held / excused / done transitions keep #active and #excused consistent, including a restore after a clear.
Verdict-driven excuse: judge recomputes the excuse from the YieldVerdict under the current update. It runs on registration, in #dropPaused, and on every update, so a reopened stale drop holds the end again.
Later stream supersedes the earlier one: a continuation or re-offer stops the copy still being read, and that copy throws Yielded, pauses, and is resumed through #resume with its partial frame kept.
Uncoded reset pauses: Reader.uncoded flags a read that rejected without a stream code. The e === err guard keeps session-close errors that sessionCause swaps in out of this path, and the uncoded pause is excused because no continuation follows a header-retaining reset.
Draft, harness, CI: two subscriber MAYs and a changelog bullet in the draft. driver.ts offsets the every: true tier by half an interval, and every tier still gets GROUPS groups. just test stream-credit runs nightly. The quests are retired and an m4 follow-up records the upstream reports.
⚠️ A final drop that overtakes a stream's header still leaves the stream un-excused
The prior thread's finding is unaddressed. A NotFound or Evicted drop that lands before the header gives { kind: "accounted" }, and excused maps that to false. The same drop landing after the header gives "dropped" and is excused. A drop that overtakes its header means the publisher reset the stream within milliseconds of its data, which is exactly the window where Chromium loses the reset, so this ordering hangs SUBSCRIBE_FINISH's settle forever. yieldError already treats "accounted" as given up (Old), so excusing it is consistent.
Technical details
# Excuse a stream whose group was accounted before its header## Affected sites- js/net/src/lite/subscriber.ts:302-311 — `excused` returns false for `{ kind: "accounted" }`- js/net/src/lite/subscriber.ts:3510-3522 — `runGroup` builds that verdict when `tail.covers` held before the header and no stale run names the group
## Required outcome- A stream whose group the tail already accounted for (a final drop, or a gap the grace gave up on) holds the end at most the grace, matching the `"dropped"` case.
- A test covering a final (non-OLD) drop before the header, like the existing `drop before its header` case that only uses `OLD`.
## Suggested approach
Add `case "accounted":` beside `case "dropped":` in `excused`, as the prior thread's suggestion does.
ℹ️ CodeRabbit's arrival-order thread looks unlikely in practice
The open CodeRabbit thread points out that a continuation whose header the page decodes before the original's would be superseded by the original. For that to happen, the original's GROUP header must already be buffered before the reset, or the reset discards it. The continuation also opens only after the publisher regains credit, at least a round trip later. Since the original's bytes are already in the browser when its decode task starts first, the inversion should not occur. Re-offers come after an update round trip, so they are further still. Worth a reply on that thread, but not a blocker.
…before its header
A final drop that overtook a stream's header left its verdict "accounted", which
`excused` treated as owed: if the browser lost that stream's reset, the
subscription's end waited on it forever. A later stale drop over it expired on
the next update and restored the hold the same way. Only a bare stale drop
expires; a final verdict beneath one stands, as `yieldError` already judges it.
The excuse test now processes a "before" drop before the header arrives, which
it previously did not, and covers a final drop and a final drop under a stale one.

…he grace
A recovery FINned once every group was accounted for and no stream was held,
which ignored excused ones. After a reset without its code paused a group, the
recovery FINned at once, the publisher cancelled the continuation it owed, and
the paused group was aborted. The recovery now settles its tail before its FIN,
waiting for an excused stream at most the grace, as a subscription's end does,
and `Tail.reading` counts excused streams, so the fills keep the recovery while
one waits.

✅ No new issues found. The excused gap is closed, and the recovery fix holds up.
Reviewed changes
Reviewed the commits since ca27ecb: the fix for the open excused thread, the recovery's wait on excused streams, and the test rework.
Every accounted verdict excuses its stream: excused now returns false only for owed, and for stale once its update passes. accounted and accounted-stale stay excused at any update, matching yieldError, which already reports both as OLD. So a later stale drop over a final one no longer restores the hold on the next update.
Drop-before-header tests actually order the drop first: the cases now drain reactions after respond, so the drop is processed before runGroup registers the stream. They cover a stale drop before and after the header, a final drop before it, and a final drop under a later stale drop followed by an update.
Recovery FIN waits through Tail.settle: once its groups are covered, a recovery races tail.settle(covered, stopped) against over and leaving, so an excused stream holds the FIN at most the grace. The stoppedOnce in finally ends the settle loop and its timer on every exit path.
Tail.reading counts excused streams: the fills keep a recovery while a paused group waits on its continuation, until a settle gives up on the excused stream. reading is read only through the recovery handle, so subscriptions are unaffected.

Tail excused streams: open returns a Counted (done / excuse / restore). The held / excused / done states keep #active and #excused consistent. A restore after settle clears #excused correctly holds the end again.
Verdict-driven excuse: excused and yieldError agree on every YieldVerdict kind, so a stream is excused exactly when its YIELDED reset would abort rather than pause. A paused group therefore never carries an excused hold, except in the deliberate uncoded case.
Later stream supersedes the earlier one: supersede is idempotent across the wait loop. The superseded copy throws Yielded and is resumed via #resume with ingest.partial intact. A drop verdict on it still aborts it as a real YIELDED reset would. Only same-subscription streams are superseded, which the draft's one-stream-per-group rule justifies.
Uncoded reset pauses: Reader.uncoded is set only when fromTransport yields no StreamError. The e === err guard keeps session-close errors that sessionCause swaps in out of this path, and lite-06 is unaffected because yielding exists only where hasYield does.
Recovery FIN through Tail.settle: stopped is set in finally, so the settle loop and its timer end on every exit path.
Draft, harness, CI: two subscriber MAYs and a changelog bullet in the draft. In driver.ts, the every: true tier is offset by half an interval and every tier still finishes all GROUPS groups. just test stream-credit runs nightly and leaves test-inventory.allow.
I ran bun test on the four touched js/net test files (263 pass) and tsc --noEmit -p net/tsconfig.json (clean). The JS behavior now differs from Rust's rs/moq-net on purpose: Rust transports always deliver the reset code, and the draft makes both behaviors a MAY.
…ave up on
A header covered only because its gap expired is still delivering and owes no
reset, so it holds the end until read. The track's final-drop record, read
before the stream takes the group, tells the two apart.

Reviewed changes
Reviewed ef529ce since 09d7d6c, which answers CodeRabbit's finding that a stream whose gap the grace had given up on was excused too.
accounted verdicts record whether a drop named the group: runGroup reads hooks.trackDropped before receiveGroup clears the drop, and excused returns verdict.dropped for accounted, and dropped || under >= update for accounted-stale. Producer drops come only from publisher drops through dropTrackGroups, never from tail gap expiry, so a header that arrives after its gap expired is not excused and holds the end until it is read.
hooks.trackDropped: matches a final run in the producer's drop record and skips skip runs and stale runs, since stale drops keep their own unowedUnder path.
New test: a stream whose gap the grace gave up on still holds the end keeps the FIN back past three graces until the late stream finishes.
I ran bun test on lite/subscriber.test.ts, tail.test.ts, lite/tail.test.ts, and track.test.ts: 483 pass.

The track's drop record can be shed or expire before a header the drop
overtook arrives, leaving a stream whose reset Chromium lost to hold the end
forever. The tail keeps final drops itself, billed like its finished runs, and
under debt folds them into one span, which excuses more for at most the grace.

✅ No new issues found. A final drop that overtakes a stream's header now stays on record when the cache reclaims space.
Reviewed changes
Reviewed 7c87eee since ef529ce. It answers the open Codex round 3 finding and CodeRabbit's finding that cache reclamation could forget a final drop.
The tail keeps its own final-drop record: Tail.drop records [start, end) in #dropped and accounts for it, and runGroup now asks tail.dropped(seq) instead of the producer's drop pool, which reclamation or a later stale drop could clear. hooks.trackDropped is removed from track.ts and internal.ts.
Only final drops are recorded: on the subscription path, tail.drop runs only for a non-OLD drop on lite-07 (!stale && hasYield), and other drops still call account. The recovery path records every drop, since giveUp already treats each one as final there. updated() leaves #dropped alone, so a later stale drop and update can't restore the hold.
Billing and the fold under debt: #rebill bills #finished, #folded, and #dropped together. Under the pool's debt, #foldDropped collapses the drops into one span. That excuses streams in the gaps between them, but each for at most the grace, and no drop is forgotten. The new a tail folds its final drops under debt test checks that the pool stays within capacity and that every dropped sequence is still named.
I ran bun test on tail.test.ts, cache.test.ts, lite/subscriber.test.ts, and lite/tail.test.ts: 265 pass.

I reviewed the full diff: the lite-07 reader workarounds for the Chromium and Firefox reset bugs, the Tail excuse and drop bookkeeping, the draft MAYs, and the harness and nightly wiring.
Tail.Counted with excuse/restore: a stream a drop accounts for holds settle for at most the grace. Once a settle gives up on excused streams it clears them, so the publisher's FIN does not wait a second grace.
excused/judge verdict model: excuse state is recomputed from the YieldVerdict under the current update on every drop, update, and header arrival. A stale drop expires on the next SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE, and a final drop beneath it keeps excusing the stream.
Tail.drop/Tail.dropped: final drops are recorded apart from stale ones, billed like #finished, and folded into one span under the pool's debt. A header the grace's gap covered therefore still holds the end. This also resolves the outdated CodeRabbit thread about a stale drop hiding a final one.
Supersede on a later stream: a continuation or re-offer on the same subscription stops the earlier stream and turns it into a YIELDED pause. #resume then continues it from the frames held. Supersede is scoped to entry.yielding, so it never crosses subscriptions.
Reader.uncoded: a reset with no code pauses the group as YIELDED would. A session close does not trigger this, because the code checks e === err after sessionCause runs.
Recovery FIN through Tail.settle: recovery entries never receive updated()/unaccount(), so covered() cannot become false again during the settle, and FIN-after-settle is safe.
Draft, harness, nightly: two subscriber MAYs plus a changelog bullet. The high tier now starts its groups half an interval later, stream-credit runs in nightly interop, and the inventory exemption is gone.

headerVerdict picks a header's starting verdict: before this commit, when both drops overtook the header, the stale run alone set the verdict to stale, and the final drop was lost. The next update then restored the hold. A stale drop over a final one now starts as accounted-stale with dropped, which matches what #dropPaused already builds when the stale drop lands after the header. excused and yieldError both fall back to the final drop once the update expires the stale one.
New test case final then stale / both before: it sends both drops before the header and checks that the end still gives up after the grace, past the update.
I ran bun test src/lite/subscriber.test.ts: 183 pass.
Brings in #8637, #8672, #8699, #8673 and #8722.
#8672's refusal rule is ported onto the path wire. A Route Offer now spells its
path first, so a receiver that refuses the rest of the offer still learns the
path a later DEAD may name. Each DEAD Moved offer is sized, so one refused
offer leaves the next readable. A refused route keeps its Route ID and its
path, follows DEADs like any other route, and files again with its last
floor's claims once a usable offer arrives.
A prefix that no believed route certifies now shows what the selected live
route carries. A sender refusing a claim, which sends no floors while it
holds one, then still shows its other claims.

Finishes quest/m1/stream-credit/browser-resets.md and its epic:
just test stream-creditnow passes reliably on lite-07 in Chromium and Firefox, and runs nightly.Summary
The harness from moq-dev/moq#8652 failed for three reasons, two of them browser bugs. Both bugs hit a reset that lands about a millisecond after its stream's data, before the page has read it, which is what a YIELDED reset of a just-opened stream does.
AcceptUnidirectionalStreamon one mojo pipe, whileOnReceivedResetStreamtravels on theWebTransportClientpipe. A reset that arrives before Blink registers the stream finds nothing inincoming_stream_map_and is dropped. The FIN path covers that race withclosed_potentially_pending_streams_; the reset path has no equivalent.TypeError: Error in input streamwith nostreamErrorCode, so a YIELDED group aborted instead of pausing. In one run, 339 of the roughly 1100 YIELDED resets sent within 5 ms of the data lost their code, and none of the 30 sent 50 ms or later did. Plain RESET_STREAM and RESET_STREAM_AT behaved the same.Changes:
js/net(lite-07 reader) copes with both browsers. A lite-07 publisher owes every reset group a continuation or a SUBSCRIBE_DROP, and the reader now uses that:TailgainsCounted.excuseandCounted.restore). The draft already counts a dropped stream as settled. A stale (OLD) drop excuses the stream only while its update number is current, so the next SUBSCRIBE_UPDATE restores the hold.Reader.uncoded) pauses its group as YIELDED would; the continuation or drop then settles it.Tail.readingcounts excused streams, so the fills keep the recovery while a paused group waits on its continuation.just test stream-creditruns in the nightly interop workflow after "Stream limits over WebSocket", and leavessh/gh/test-inventory.allow.Decisions

Not chosen: mirroring the paths in Rust for parity, which adds code that no Rust transport exercises.judgeinlite/subscriber.ts) each time the verdict or the update changes, instead of being flipped by each event. Review rounds 2 and 3 each found a path where the event-driven version kept a stale excuse; this design removes that class of bug. Not chosen: patching each path, which is what produced those findings.excusednow holds foraccountedandaccounted-staleat any update, asyieldErroralready treats both as final, and only a bare stale drop expires. Rejected: Pullfrog's one-linecase "accounted", which still restores the hold when a later stale drop over a final one expires on the next update (thefinal then staletest case fails with it).Tail.settle, taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review. An excused stream holds the recovery's FIN at most the grace, as at a subscription's end. Rejected: counting excused streams as reading with no grace, which hangs a recovery on a lost reset forever; leaving recovery as it was, which FINs while a continuation is still owed and aborts the paused group.accountedverdict now records whether a final drop named the group.Tailkeeps those final drops (Tail.drop,Tail.dropped), billed to the track's account like its finished runs. Under the pool's debt they fold into the one span they reach. That excuses a gap stream for at most the grace, but never forgets a drop, which would leave a lost reset holding the end forever. Rejected: reading the track's drop set, which Codex's round 3 showed can be shed or expire before the overtaken header arrives.Follow-ups

With that, a final drop before the header, and one under a later stale drop plus an update, each fail without theexcusedfix; the second also fails with only Pullfrog's one-line fix. A final drop after the header aborts the group, which ends the read at once, so it needs no excuse.a recovery waits for the continuation of a group a reset without its code pausedfails without the recovery fix (the recovery ends right after the uncoded reset) and passes with it.
