fix(interop): the refused WebSocket session expects a redial - #8694
The interop case refused session (subscriber js) has failed on every run since moq-dev/moq#8618 landed. Its WebSocket half waits for a reconnecting Connection with an unlimited retry window to publish the relay's MalformedAuthToken error and stop. The relay logs a refusal about every second until the 20 s cell timeout.
The check is wrong, not the client. The relay refuses a URL token before SETUP OK (rs/moq-relay/src/connection.rs). For ALPN-negotiated moq-lite (03+), though, there is no server SETUP to wait for, so the client has already counted the session as established, in both JS (#establishedHref) and Rust (Reconnect::connected). The refusal therefore closes a connected session. Per #8618's settled rule, such a close retries within the retry window, and its Impact section names a MALFORMED_AUTH_TOKEN close of a connected session as retried. Under an unlimited window the error is never published.
Approach
test/interop/clients/js/src/close.ts: refusedWebSocket gives the handle a 2 s retry window with a 200 ms backoff. It counts how many sessions reach connected, then waits for the error. It now requires both a redial (two or more sessions) and the relay's code and reason on the published Error.Session. The WebTransport half is unchanged.
close.ts driver doc and test/interop/README.md: describe the redial instead of "stop its unlimited reconnect loop". The README also said "Unauthorized", but the code is MalformedAuthToken.
Public API: none. Wire: none. Behavior: none; test and docs only.
Alternatives
Make the client treat a refusal that closes a session right after ALPN as a failed first walk. That would mean either reading the close code, which matches on an error kind and is what feat(reconnect)!: the reconnect loop stops judging errors by kind #8618 removed, or adding an admission signal that lite-03+ doesn't carry. Neither fits the settled decisions.
moq-dev/moq#8618 - made a connected session's refusal retry, but left this interop check expecting the client to stop. That PR did not run just test interop --all.
Validation
Reproduced on origin/main (558d9ee44): just test interop --publishers rust --subscribers js failed with refused session (20s), waiting for the refused websocket session to close: undefined, and the relay logged the admission decider refused the session: malformed about once a second.
With the fix, the same run passes (refused session (3s)).
Mutation: with the window set to zero, the case fails with gave up after 1 session(s) instead of redialing: Session: remote error: 22 (malformed auth token). The new assertion therefore catches a client that stops at the first refusal.
just test interop --all: all checks passed (205 PASS, 1 existing SKIP for the route key on Chromium 156).
just check: passes.
Follow-ups
None.

…specifies
The relay refuses a URL token after ALPN already established the session, so
since #8618 the reconnecting handle redials it like any other close. The check
still waited for the handle to stop on its own under an unlimited window.

ℹ️ No critical issues. The fix is sound; a few copies of the stale wording it corrects are still around.
Reviewed changes
I reviewed the single commit that rewrites the interop refused session WebSocket check and the docs around it to match #8618's retry rule.
refusedWebSocket expects a redial: the Connection now has a 2 s retry window with a flat 200 ms backoff. The check counts connected transitions and requires at least two sessions, plus a MoqError.Session with the relay's code and reason. This matches Reload: the refusal ends an established session, #retry redials until the deadline, then #giveUp(error(cause)) publishes the last close. Microtask coalescing in Signal can't hide a session, because a backoff timer always runs between them.
Docs: the close.ts header, test/interop/README.md, and the reconnect.rs module doc now describe the redial and drop the "refused credential the tokens replaced" exception.
ℹ️ The stale exception and "stop reconnecting" wording still appear outside the diff
The PR removes the "a refused credential the tokens have replaced since earns another dial" exception from the module doc of reconnect.rs, but the same file repeats it in two other doc comments. walk_failed has no such exception: it calls done(Err(err)) whenever !self.established. The interop.sh comment that introduces this case also still says WebSocket must "stop reconnecting".
Technical details
# Leftover copies of the wording this PR corrects## Affected sites- rs/moq-net/src/reconnect.rs:57-58 — `Backoff` doc: "Before then nothing retries ... unless the peer refused credentials the tokens have replaced since."
- rs/moq-net/src/reconnect.rs:510-511 — `with_tokens` doc: "A refused credential then earns another dial once the tokens change, and an ended tokens handle ends the policy at its next walk."
- test/interop/interop.sh:2315 — "WebSocket must surface MalformedAuthToken and stop reconnecting too."
## Required outcome- Both `reconnect.rs` docs match `walk_failed`: before the first session, any walk failure ends the policy. Keep the `with_tokens` note that an ended tokens handle ends the policy at the next walk, since `start` still checks it.
- The `interop.sh` comment describes the redial within a short retry window followed by the published session error, matching `close.ts` and the README.
The changes clarify that the initial address walk ends without retrying when no address establishes a session. They also update the WebSocket interop documentation and check to count a refused session as connected, redial it, and publish its session error after a short retry window. The JavaScript check configures 200 ms reconnect delays and a 2-second timeout, then disposes its status subscription and closes the connection.
Merge Risk: Low · up to ec9c1
This change updates tests and docs for the refused WebSocket session case. Two doc comments in the reconnect module still describe a retry that never happens, which could mislead callers. Fix the docs before merging; no behavior changes.

Remove the refused-credential retry exception from the Backoff doc.
walk_failed ends the policy whenever no session was established, for every verdict. A refused credential is included. The exception at line 58 says a refused credential can still retry after the tokens change, so callers can expect a redial that the code never performs. The with_tokens doc at line 510 repeats the same exception and needs the same correction.

ℹ️ MoqBackoff in moq-ffi still documents the refused-credential exception
The previous review missed this copy. The MoqBackoff doc at rs/moq-ffi/src/session.rs:197-199 still says a first dial that fails retries "unless the peer refused credentials the tokens have replaced since, which earns another dial." walk_failed has no such exception, and this doc reaches the Swift, Kotlin, Python, Go, and Dart bindings. It's a one-line fix that can go in this PR or a follow-up. The two reload.test.ts cases about a refused credential (js/net/src/connection/reload.test.ts:458, :487) wait for established first, so they test the post-session retry and are correct.
Technical details
# Stale refused-credential exception in the FFI backoff doc## Affected sites- rs/moq-ffi/src/session.rs:197-199 — `MoqBackoff` doc: "...rather than retrying, unless the peer refused credentials the tokens have replaced since, which earns another dial."
## Required outcome- The doc matches `walk_failed` (`rs/moq-net/src/reconnect.rs:864-870`): before the first session, any failed walk ends the connection with its error. This matches the `Backoff` doc corrected in ea58614.

The queue log reports that “a checkout elsewhere gets the same key” timed out after 5000ms (lines 462–464). This PR changes neither the fingerprint implementation nor its tests. The test passed on base and the scratch merge, reproduced its timeout under compilation load, and passed in the successful full JavaScript check rerun.
