Finishes quest/m2/cluster-routes/flapping-publisher.md: a dual-homed publisher stays reachable while one link flaps.

Summary

Under the path rule, a closed session casts doubt on the node at its far end. When the closed session is the publisher's own, that node is the publisher, and every route to its claims names it, including the route over its healthy link. So a relay that lost the flapping link could not move to the other one, and each flap restarted the doubt.

Doubt now keeps a relay off a route through a doubted node. It still keeps a relay off the doubted node's own route on a session that opened since the doubt began. It no longer keeps a relay off any other route that begins at the doubted node. route::path::Router::doubts_path implements this, and Router::suspect notes the last session opened when a doubt begins.

  • The other links stay usable. A relay that already hears a route through the publisher's other link, one that does not name the relay, stays routed while one link flaps. Any other relay is routed again once a neighbour re-offers, a round trip after the news, instead of after the timer. A publisher that moves to another relay is routed at once.
  • The returning link still waits out the timer. No relay hears it until the relay it returned to takes it, so the timer still damps a flapping link. moq-dev/moq#8735 measured that damping as worth keeping.
  • Comparison rules. The replaced rule stays available as Rule::ORIGIN, and the rejected broad exemption as Rule::SPARED. Both are test-only.

Changes:

  • RouteHandoff.tla:
    • The rule: RelayDoubted, Returned and Since, with Doubted defined from them.
    • A Flaky set narrowing which links open and close.
    • Two invariants. Routed says a relay that knows a route over open sessions, crossing no relay it doubts and not over a link to the publisher that returned during the doubt, uses some route. LoopsLostThePublisher is described below.
    • Three configs: Flap.cfg (one of a dual-homed publisher's links flaps), TwoHomes.cfg (both flap) and Homes.cfg (a publisher on three relays leaves them all).
    • Routed also runs in RouteHandoff, Twice, Loop and Ring.
  • route/tests/flap.rs:
    • The flap at half the timer, where every relay keeps a route to the publisher and shows its claim available after every round.
    • The replaced rule leaving relay 3 with no route in the same flap.
    • A returning link waiting out the doubt, which the broad exemption takes at once.
    • The three-home loop, pinned under each rule.
  • compare.rs:
    • benchmark_route_churn_two_homes: the churn script with the publisher on two relays, either of whose links flaps.
    • every_rule_settles_after_churn runs both variants.
    • The nightly comparison swaps nothing out: it adds the replaced rule beside the new one.
  • The rule's cost: a relay cannot tell a publisher dying from one of its links closing. When a publisher on three or more relays leaves them all at once, each relay can move onto a neighbour's direct route that the neighbour's own close made stale, so a request goes round them until the news arrives one hop later. LoopsLostThePublisher bounds this: a looping request goes only round relays whose routes each begin on a closed session of the publisher.
  • Deletes quest/m2/cluster-routes/fresh-publisher.md, as its quest said to whichever landed first. This rule settles it the other way round: the returning link waits, and the other links don't.
  • Since the switch landed, lite-07 sessions run this rule, so this PR also finishes the quest and deletes it:
    • path_routes::a_flapping_link_keeps_a_dual_homed_publisher_routed: the fixture on real sessions with mocked time. The publisher is on relays A and B, which peer, and W is behind both. The publisher's link to A flaps every half timer for 8 flaps. W shows the claim available throughout, and its subscriber reads each group within half the timer of its write.
    • route_change::lite_07::unannounce_between_groups and unannounce_mid_group come back. The switch had replaced them with unannounce_waits_out_the_doubt, which pinned the replaced rule. catalog_handover's unannounce trigger no longer sleeps out the doubt.
    • The draft's Dead Hops section and changelog state the rule, including the transient loop it allows.
  • Updates the epic's Plan item 27 and the verify-route skill.

Decisions

Each was taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review.

  1. Doubt blocks a route through a node, not one that begins at it, except the node's own route on a session opened since the doubt began. The measurements are under Validation. The returning link waits because moq-dev/moq#8735 showed that taking it at once shows every flap. Across both churn variants, this rule routes relays about as often as timer-only doubt or more, for at most 22% more route messages and 4% more claims offline.
    • Rejected: keeping timer-only doubt. A dual-homed publisher's other link is unusable for the whole timer, and a publisher that moves waits 1,100 ms in a 24-relay clique.
    • Rejected: sparing every route that begins at the doubted node, this PR's first version. It routes relays 67% more often with two homes, but costs 121% more route messages, 76% more claims sent and 69% more claims offline.
    • Rejected: sparing only links heard before the doubt began. It keeps the damping, but helps a relay only when its neighbours had already chosen the other link, so it routes relays 12% more often.
    • Rejected: exempting the publisher only at relays that heard of the close in a DEAD. The relay on the flapping link stays dark.
    • Rejected: a liveness message the publisher floods when it loses a session. It is loop-free, but adds a wire message, still leaves relays dark for a round trip, and waits on the switch.
  2. Accept a transient request loop when a publisher on three or more relays leaves them all at once. TLC confirmed the loop the quest asked about. Homes.cfg breaks RequestsLoopFree within seconds under this rule, and the replaced rule passes 4,000 traces of it. Two-home churn shows loop steps in 51 of 120,000 steps, where the replaced rule shows none. The goal ("every relay, the whole time") cannot hold together with loop-freedom: the relay on the flapping link sees exactly what each relay sees when the publisher dies. The request-loop quest heals a request caught in such a loop.
    • Decided 2026-11-14 (maintainer, /quest-complete): ✅ accept the transient loop (rejected: skip, delete)
  3. TwoHomes.cfg drops Stable, as Twice.cfg drops NoStaleReturn. When both of the publisher's links fail within one timer, a relay can take an offer older than the timer that names a hop it has already forgotten died. Before, doubt about the publisher kept it off. When the next message on that link names a hop the relay knows died, it lets go, so a claim it showed goes offline until another route arrives. The replaced rule kept that relay dark for the whole timer instead. Every other invariant holds there, including RequestsLoopFree, so the model finds no two-home loop.
    • Rejected: holding under a next hop that has yet to answer a dead route, whatever its path. That passed TwoHomes.cfg, but the router's sweep_handoff, the_rules_agree_on_every_script and sweep_scoped_meshes_show_what_the_rule_says each ended with a hold that never let go.
  4. What counts as the origin is the route's first node, whoever it is. A relay that originates a route for a broadcast it carries (cache-aware routing) is that route's origin, and the same argument holds: a route cannot loop through its own end.
  5. Delete fresh-publisher.md, as its Plan said to whichever landed first. Its measurement, and this one, both favour making a returning link wait.
    • The maintainer kept timer-only doubt for moq-dev/moq#8735's exemption on 2026-11-14, which confirms the deletion.
  6. The nightly route benchmarks compare three rules: early collection, the replaced rule, and this one. The switch removed distance. A fifth pushed benchmark_route_rules past nextest's 60-second limit. The broad exemption's numbers above came from a one-off run comparing only the three path rules.
  7. This PR builds the fixture on real sessions and makes the draft change, and deletes the quest. This replaces the earlier choice to leave both to a rewritten quest that waited on the switch. Taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review. Merging moq-dev/moq#8731 put sessions on this rule. Its unannounce_waits_out_the_doubt failed against the rule, and the draft would otherwise have described a stricter rule than the code runs.
    • Rejected: keeping the quest for that work. It would land a session behaviour that the draft contradicts.
  8. The draft text keeps the route a relay already uses exempt from doubt (taken on the agent's recommendation while the maintainer was away, open to change). CodeRabbit noted the text dropped that exemption, which README item 27 states and the router applies (Some(peer) != using); without it the draft would amend the Routing section with a stricter rule than the code runs.
  9. Merging moq-dev/moq#8735 kept both entries under epic item 27: this PR's 2026-11-14 decision, and quest: retain timer-only doubt over a fresh publisher's exemption #8735's declined fresh-publisher exemption, which agrees with it.
  10. The epic's claim that the publisher stays routed at every relay is qualified (taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review). CodeRabbit pointed out that a relay whose neighbours all route through it cannot use their offers when its own link closes. Routed holds only for a relay that already knows a fresh route. The epic's item 27 and this description now name that condition. The other relays are routed again within a round trip of the news.

The brief said to rebase onto whichever parallel PR lands first. The quest rules forbid rebasing, so I merged main instead when GitHub reported a conflict. None of the parallel quests had landed; of what had, only route/node.rs (distance routing) touched the route layer, and the merge needed no hand resolution.

Validation

Each config runs as its own header says: exhaustive, or simulated (-simulate num=1000 -depth 150 -seed 1 on 4 workers is 4,000 traces).

  • Under the final rule, every config passes:

    • New configs: Flap, TwoHomes and Homes, 4,000 traces each.
    • Exhaustive: RouteHandoff (476,515 distinct states), Ring (1,291,453), Prefer (18,276), Drain (748,553), Lag (3,302,477), LagWide (7,071,543) and Early (13,249,012).
    • Simulated: Loop, DrainRing and Overlap (4,000 traces each), HoldCycle (8,000), and Twice, Blind and Dead (40,000 each).
  • Under the replaced rule (a copy of the model with every doubted node counting):

    • Flap.cfg fails Routed within 43 states.
    • Homes.cfg with RequestsLoopFree passes.
    • TwoHomes.cfg with Stable passes 16,000 traces.
  • Final rule, with the dropped properties restored:

    • Homes.cfg with RequestsLoopFree fails. The trace ends with relays 1→2→3→1, each on the next one's dead direct route.
    • TwoHomes.cfg with Stable fails after about 10,000 traces.
  • Router: just rs test -p moq-net --lib -E 'test(/route::/)' passes 216 tests, including every path-rule sweep.

  • Churn (400 cases, 120,000 steps; "unrouted" counts relays with no route while a path exists):

    One home (benchmark_route_churn):

    Rule Loop steps Stale Unrouted Route msgs Claims Offline Unavailable
    replaced 0 3,312 162,654 8,785 5,698 3,336 3,110

    final 0 3,558 161,678 9,049 5,914 3,452 3,206

    Two homes (benchmark_route_churn_two_homes):

    Rule Loop steps Stale Unrouted Route msgs Claims Offline Unavailable
    replaced 0 1,847 248,903 9,438 7,608 3,314 2,710

    only pre-doubt links* 44 3,094 216,315 10,596 7,484 3,256 2,822
    final 51 3,657 211,974 11,542 8,078 3,446 3,112

    * Measured before a restart reconnected the publisher's second home, so a restarted home stayed cut until a flap reopened it. The other rows include that fix; the rejected rules are not in the nightly comparison, so these weren't rerun.

    The replaced rule's one-home row matches quest: retain timer-only doubt over a fresh publisher's exemption #8735's path row exactly: it is the same script.

  • Per change (benchmark_route_rules in release, 24 relays, recovery at 25 ms per hop; replaced → broad → final):

    Mesh Change Recovery Unrouted Offline claims
    clique publisher moves 1,100 → 50 → 50 ms 1,032 → 24 → 24 92 → 0 → 0
    ring publisher moves 1,850 → 325 → 325 ms 1,488 → 24 → 24
    sparse publisher moves 1,222 → 110 → 110 ms 789 → 13 → 13
    clique publisher rejoins 1,050 → 50 → 1,050 ms
    ring publisher rejoins 1,875 → 325 → 1,875 ms
    sparse publisher rejoins 1,372 → 155 → 1,372 ms

    A rejoin waits under the final rule by design: its link returned during the doubt. No change loops under any rule, and every other change is within a message or two.

  • A restart in the churn now reconnects the publisher's second home, and the churn asserts that it does after every restart.

  • Cache routing, after merging main: moq-dev/moq#8732's a_ring_of_stale_offers_settles_on_the_link_left (a publisher on a ring of five relays loses four links at once) failed the merge queue: it pinned 40 cycle steps across 20 seeds, the replaced rule's exact total (2 per seed, each cycle gone within 2 deliveries). Under this rule the total is 204 (4 to 22 per seed, each cycle gone within 20 deliveries). This is the accepted transient loop: a relay that lost its link takes a neighbour's direct route that the neighbour's own close made stale, until that DEAD crosses the link between them. Every seed still settles with one copy fed through the link left. The budget now pins 204.

  • quest gate just rs test -p moq-net passes 1,624 tests after the merge.

  • Exhaustive search, after merging main: moq-dev/moq#8729's router fingerprint now carries each doubt's since, which decides whether a returning link waits. Its six nightly searches (route::tests::search, release) pass, and quest gate just rs test -p moq-net passes 1,626 tests.

  • Merging moq-dev/moq#8768 kept this PR's rewrite of the flapping-publisher quest, linking the request-loop quest at its new m3 path.

  • just check passes.

  • Mutation testing (just rs mutants --in-diff over this PR's rs/moq-net/src diff, the check Nightly runs): 24 mutants, 17 caught, 5 unviable, and 2 missed, both in doubts_path's session check (&&→||, >→>=). The new a_link_opened_before_the_doubt_is_taken_at_once kills both; each, applied by hand, fails it.

  • After merging moq-dev/moq#8728: its interest edits and this PR's Flaky guard both apply to Connect and Disconnect. Flap, TwoHomes and Homes gained its Editors, MaxEdits and Mirrored, and pass 4,000 traces each. RouteHandoff and EditNarrow pass exhaustively. quest gate cargo test -p moq-net passes 1,726 tests, the seven nightly route searches pass in release, and just check passes.

  • After merging moq-dev/moq#8731 (the switch), at cbb742cec:

    • The doubt helper split. Main's suspect returns the identities to re-rank, and this PR's doubt_until records since.
    • cargo test -p moq-net passes 1,559 lib tests and the integration suite. cargo test -p moq-relay passes. The seven nightly route searches and the three compare benchmarks pass in release.
    • TLC passes exhaustively: RouteHandoff (476,434 distinct states), Drain (575,887), Prefer (15,380), Upstream (76,992) and UpstreamScoped (71,680). The counts in the skill moved because the model now carries since. TLC also passes 4,000 simulated traces each of Flap, TwoHomes, Homes and Loop, with Upstream = {} added to the three new configs.
    • The new and restored session tests fail under the replaced rule: doubts_path patched to block every route at the origin fails a_flapping_link_keeps_a_dual_homed_publisher_routed, both unannounce_* route-change tests, and catalog_handover's unannounce_parked and unannounce_with_viewer.
    • just check and just test interop pass.
  • Codex's local review of the merged head found that a second stream of a session the doubt predates, such as one a new permit files, counted as a returning link. That blocked a healthy session's direct route until the timer fired. Each stream now carries the generation of its session's first stream, matched by Link::session, and doubts_path compares that. routing::a_later_stream_of_a_session_the_doubt_predates_is_not_doubted passes, and it fails with the old per-stream comparison. After the fix, cargo test -p moq-net (lib and integration), the seven route searches, and just check pass.

  • After merging moq-dev/moq#8638 and quest: retain timer-only doubt over a fresh publisher's exemption #8735 (neither touches the route code or model; the sync commit moves to the new base, dfdd30190ac5c15ea05d1f5733c14f579ac5b002): just check passes, quest gate cargo test -p moq-net passes 1,719 tests, the seven nightly route searches pass in release, and Flap, TwoHomes and Homes pass 4,000 traces each.

Public API and wire

No API or wire change. Behaviour changes: since the switch, lite-07 relays run this rule. After a session to a doubted node closes, a relay takes that node's routes over its other sessions at once, and a session that reopens still waits out the doubt. The draft's Dead Hops section says so.

Impact

Nightly's route benchmarks gain the replaced rule beside the other two, and gain the two-home churn (about 20 s in release). TLC gains three simulated configs, about a minute each on four workers.

Caused by

  • moq-dev/moq#8622 - doubts_path counted a route's first node, so doubt about a publisher blocked every route to it, including the one over its healthy link.

Follow-ups

None. This PR deletes the flapping-publisher quest it finishes.

A dual-homed publisher whose link to one relay flaps faster than the doubt
timer stays routed at every relay through its other link. The model shows
the cost: a publisher leaving three or more relays at once can loop a
request until the news arrives (Homes.cfg, LoopsLostThePublisher), and two
publisher links failing within one timer can drop a claim (TwoHomes.cfg).

Sparing every route that begins at a doubted publisher showed each return
of a flapping link to every relay: in two-home churn, 121% more route
messages and 69% more claims offline than timer-only doubt. Doubt now still
blocks the publisher's own route on a session opened since the doubt
began, so the relay it returned to takes it only after the timer and no
other relay hears it before then, while the publisher's other links stay
usable. The churn benchmark gains a two-home variant.

ℹ️ No critical issues. Two stale explanations are worth a look.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed the narrowed doubt rule in the path router, the TLA+ model and its new configs, the new and extended route tests, and the quest/skill doc updates.

  • doubts_path skips a route's first node. Doubt still blocks any route through a doubted relay. A route that begins at the doubted node is blocked only when it is that node's own 1-hop offer on a session numbered after Suspicion::Doubted { since }. Router::suspect records since from the monotonic opened counter when a doubt begins, and extending a doubt keeps it.
  • Test-only comparison rules. AtOrigin on Doubt adds Rule::ORIGIN (the replaced rule) and Rule::SPARED (the rejected broad exemption). Rule::EARLY is pinned to Blocked so its old behaviour is unchanged, and COMPARED gains ORIGIN.
  • Model. The model adds RelayDoubted, Returned and Since, plus the Flaky link narrowing. It adds the Routed and LoopsLostThePublisher invariants and the Flap, TwoHomes (drops Stable) and Homes (swaps RequestsLoopFree for LoopsLostThePublisher) configs.
  • Tests and benchmarks. route/tests/flap.rs pins the flap, the returning-link wait, and the three-home loop under each rule. The churn gains a two-home variant, which also runs in every_rule_settles_after_churn.
  • Quest docs. Deletes fresh-publisher.md, rewrites flapping-publisher.md to what waits on the switch, and updates epic item 27 and the verify-route skill.

I checked the Rust rule against the model's Returned/Since. Both callers already index self.sessions[peer], so the new lookup cannot panic. Since None == -1, the OwnGen(n) > s.since comparison is always numeric.

Walkthrough

Route doubt now distinguishes paths that pass through a doubted node from paths that begin there. For routes beginning at that node, the rule checks whether the offering session opened after doubt began. The formal model and configurations add checks for routing, flapping links, and publisher loss. Router tests cover link flaps, multiple publisher homes, and churn. The related decision record, quest plan, and verification guidance document these rules and scenarios.

Merge Risk: Low · up to f7470

Route doubt now keeps a dual-homed publisher reachable while one link flaps. A publisher that leaves three or more relays at once can briefly cause a request loop. The router is not yet used by sessions, so there is no production impact today. The loop tradeoff needs maintainer sign-off before sessions use this router, and the README claim could be qualified.

Explanation

The title "feat(route): a dual-homed publisher's other links survive doubt about it" matches the main change: doubt about a publisher no longer blocks routes that begin at that publisher, so its other links stay usable. The changeset also adds the flap, two-home, and three-home tests and the comparison rules, which the title does not mention, but it names the primary behavior change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is a detailed, on-topic account of the flapping-publisher change: the doubt rule in doubts_path, the RouteHandoff.tla model and configs, the flap and churn tests, the Rule::ORIGIN and Rule::SPARED comparisons, the deleted fresh-publisher quest, and the validation results. It clearly relates to every part of the changeset, so it passes the lenient relatedness check.

…ain ranking

The two-home churn's restart left the publisher's attached link closed until a
random flap reopened it. A restart now reconnects the links the mesh lacks, and
the churn checks it. The publisher's GOAWAY stays loop-free because every path
to it drains alike, not because of doubt; the comments now say so. The model's
header names the returning-link exception, and the verify-route skill runs the
flap fixtures.

✅ No new issues found. Both earlier findings are fixed, and the restart fix is sound.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed what changed between 154bb658c and b3ee511c0.

  • Corrected the GOAWAY loop-freedom explanations. The module doc, the Dead::Draining and drains docs, goaway_around_a_ring, the DrainRing.cfg header, MarkDrain and the skill's DrainRing row now name the mechanism that actually keeps a publisher's GOAWAY loop-free. Every path to the publisher ranks as draining alike, so no relay moves. Doubt still covers a relay that leaves.
  • Named the returning-link exception in the TLA+ module header. The header now says that a session opened since the doubt began (Returned) waits out the timer.
  • Made a restart reconnect a publisher's second home. Lab::restart now reopens every linked link that touches the restarted relay, after revive. The churn asserts that each home's link is back up after every restart. Only the churn calls restart, and the churn never crashes a relay, so it does not matter that this loop skips the down check revive makes.
  • Refreshed the docs and numbers. Epic item 27 now gives the two-home churn figures (15% more often routed, 4% more claims offline, 51 loop steps). It credits those steps to the two-home churn, not to the three-home departure that Homes.cfg covers. The skill's router test filter now includes flap. These numbers match the churn table in the PR body.

quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at b3ee511 because its merge_group build failed (failed_checks).

The land fixer works on it in the background, and the watcher re-enqueues it at the back of the queue once it is fixed or judged flaky, or hands it back here with what it needs.

quest land watch: Another session holds this pull request, so the watcher stops acting on it and leaves it to that session: the hold ends the pick, and a maintainer enqueues it again once that session is done.

(written by quest land watch)

Main's a_ring_of_stale_offers_settles_on_the_link_left pinned 40 cycle steps,
the replaced rule's exact total (2 per seed). Under this rule a relay that lost
its publisher link takes a neighbour's direct route that neighbour's own close
made stale, until that DEAD crosses the link: the accepted transient loop. The
seeded total is 204 (4 to 22 per seed, a cycle lasting at most 20 deliveries),
and every seed still settles with one copy fed through the link left.

✅ No new issues found. The one new change raises a test budget, and the new budget matches the loop this PR already accepts.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed what changed between b3ee511c0 and 30b3e3645: a merge of main and a commit that adjusts a test.

  • Raised the stale-ring cache budget. a_ring_of_stale_offers_settles_on_the_link_left came in from #8732 through the merge. Its cycle budget goes from 40 to 204 steps across 20 seeds. The doc comment now says why: a relay can take a neighbour's direct route that the neighbour's own close made stale, until the DEAD crosses the link between them. This is the transient loop that Plan item 27 accepts. The per-seed checks are unchanged: the ring settles, one copy remains, and relays[0]'s parent is the origin.
  • Confirmed the pinned total. The test passes locally. With the bound temporarily set to 203, it fails with exactly 204 steps with a cycle across 20 seeds, so the budget pins the seeded total as the comment says. No other cache test's loop assertion changed.

Kills the two mutants of doubts_path's session check that the PR's tests
missed: a relay doubting the publisher moves onto its own link to it when
that link opened before the doubt, even as the last session it opened.

✅ No new issues found. The new test covers both of doubts_path's session-check mutants, and the merge with #8728 keeps the Flaky guard and the interest edits side by side.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed what changed between 29f754488 and 805064b34: three merges of main, including #8728's interest sets, and one new test.

  • Added a_link_opened_before_the_doubt_is_taken_at_once. The publisher has a cheap path to relay 2 through relay 1, plus a dear direct link to relay 2 that opens last. When the link to relay 1 closes, relay 2 doubts the publisher. Its since mark then equals the direct link's own session number. Rule::PATH moves relay 2 onto that link at once, while Rule::ORIGIN holds it until the timer. This catches > mutated to >=, and && mutated to ||, in doubts_path. The five route::tests::flap tests pass locally.
  • Merged #8728 into the model. Connect and Disconnect now keep this PR's l \in Flaky guard alongside #8728's Asks and claim-set Update argument. Flap.cfg, TwoHomes.cfg and Homes.cfg gain Editors = {}, MaxEdits = 0 and the Mirrored invariant, so they run unchanged under the new edit machinery.
  • Advanced the verify-route sync commit to this PR's base, 98ed0f827. This resolves the open finding from the local review. The skill's prose and tables merge #8728's edit configs with this PR's doubt wording.

other affected routes, preserving the existing selected-route behavior.

✅ No new issues found. The draft text now matches the rule the router runs, and the merge of main does not touch the route code or model.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed what changed between 805064b34 and f74701220: one docs commit and a merge of main.

  • Kept the current route exempt in the draft text. The Routing-section wording in flapping-publisher.md now says doubt does not keep a relay "off the route it already uses or another route that begins there". This matches README item 27's doubt bullet and the router's Some(peer) != using check, so the open CodeRabbit thread is addressed.
  • Merged main (#8638, #8735). Nothing under rs/moq-net/src/route or rs/moq-net/verify/route changed. Epic item 27 gains #8735's declined fresh-publisher exemption, which agrees with this PR's decision that a returning link waits out the timer. The verify-route skill's sync commit moves to the new base, dfdd30190.

- Line 58: Qualify the continuous-routing claim in the README: the reported
routing times apply to the measured scenarios, not every topology. State that
Routed requires a relay to know a fresh route over open sessions that avoids
doubted relays and a returned publisher link; when A’s publisher link closes and
B’s offer routes through A, A must wait for B to advertise another route.

The switch (#8731) puts sessions on the path router: resolve the doubt
helper split, drop the Distance rule from the comparisons, give the new
configs the Upstream constant, and refresh the quest and skill.

… says so

Since the switch, sessions run this rule: restore the unannounce route-change
tests the old rule had replaced, drop catalog_handover's doubt wait, add the
flapping-link fixture on real sessions, state the rule in the draft's Dead
Hops section, and finish the flapping-publisher quest. Qualify the epic's
claim that every relay stays routed.

A new permit files another stream of the same session; comparing stream
numbers took it for a link that returned during the doubt and blocked the
publisher's healthy route until the timer fired.

✅ No new issues found. Sessions now run the narrowed doubt rule, and the per-session generation fix stops a later stream from being taken as a returning link.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed what changed between f74701220 and e034e5c92: a merge of main that brings in #8731 (the switch), the follow-up that puts sessions on this PR's rule, and the generation fix.

  • Merged the switch. doubt_until now records since, separate from main's suspect, which returns the identities to re-rank. compare.rs drops Rule::Distance, so COMPARED is now [EARLY, ORIGIN, PATH]. The three new TLA+ configs gain Upstream = {}.
  • Shared one generation across a session's streams. connect gives a stream the generation of any registered stream with the same nonzero link.session tag, and doubts_path compares that generation against since. Peer::tag comes from session_tag(), a global counter that starts at 1, so tag 0 safely means one session per stream in Sim. fingerprint hashes sessions through Debug, so generation is included in the search state. The new a_later_stream_of_a_session_the_doubt_predates_is_not_doubted passes locally, along with the other 187 route:: lib tests.
  • Stated the rule in the draft. The Routing section now defers to Dead Hops. Dead Hops spells out the through-node block, the returning-link wait, the current-route exemption, and the transient loop when an origin on three or more relays leaves them all at once. This matches doubts_path and Some(peer) != using.
  • Tested on real sessions. a_flapping_link_keeps_a_dual_homed_publisher_routed flaps P–A every half timer and checks that W stays available and reads each group within half the timer. unannounce_between_groups and unannounce_mid_group return in place of unannounce_waits_out_the_doubt. catalog_handover's Unannounce trigger drops its doubt sleep. Its Reconnect trigger correctly keeps the sleep, because that link is a returning one.
  • Retired the quest. This deletes flapping-publisher.md, qualifies README item 27's routed-everywhere claim, re-links request-loop.md to this PR, and moves the verify-route sync commit to cbb742cec.
