Summary

moq_net::transport::poll::SendStream gets the shape the acknowledgment hook needs, before the cut freezes the public, unsealed trait:

• type Offset: 'static: a position in the stream that only offset() mints. No Clone or Copy bound.
• fn offset(&self) -> Self::Offset: the position just past every byte written so far.
• fn poll_acked(&self, waiter, offset: &Self::Offset) -> Poll<Result<Acked, Self::Error>>: borrows the offset, since a caller retries with the same one until it's ready. Defaults to Ready(Ok(Acked::Unsupported)).
• #[non_exhaustive] pub enum poll::Acked { Delivered, Unsupported }: "unsupported" is a typed answer a session can branch on once, not an error to match.

Every in-tree backend (memory, qmux, moq-tokio's and moq-uring's quic::web, and the test fakes) uses type Offset = () and keeps the default. Wrappers (Ranked, uring's Local) forward to the stream they wrap. moq-net's boxed stream erases the offset behind a Box<dyn Any> and passes downcast_ref straight through, the way it already erases Group. The drivers' implementations stay in the m3 hook quest, updated here to match what landed.

JS: no counterpart. WebTransport exposes no acknowledgment, so js/net is unchanged.

Public API

Breaking for anyone implementing poll::SendStream outside the tree: stable Rust has no defaults for associated types, so each implementation must add type Offset and offset(). Migration: a transport that can't see acknowledgments adds type Offset = (); fn offset(&self) -> Self::Offset {} and keeps the default poll_acked. Callers pass &offset to poll_acked. Boxable now also requires Offset: Send + Sync, which () satisfies.

Wire: none.

Decisions

Taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review:

• Offset has no Clone bound; poll_acked takes it by reference. Decided 2026-11-14 (maintainer, /quest-complete): ✅ no Clone bound; poll_acked takes the offset by reference (rejected: Clone, Copy). The only reason for Clone was the by-value poll_acked, which made the boxed layer clone out of its erased offset on every poll; a caller keeps the offset across retries anyway. Each boxed offset() call costs one Box allocation. This replaces the agent's earlier Clone (an erased value can't be Copy). The moq-quic driver's send::Offset is Copy, so m3's adapters pass *offset.

• type Offset = () for backends without acknowledgments, instead of the Plan's u64 byte count. Nothing ever reads that count, so () is simpler and honest about it. Rejected: tracking a byte count in each backend for nothing to read. moq-tokio and moq-uring move to the driver's send::Offset in m3; changing a concrete type's associated type isn't a trait break.

• The quest aimed for no break, and that's impossible on stable Rust (see Public API). Landing the break before the cut is the point of this quest, so it lands now.

• A foreign offset panics in the boxed downcast, like set_group with another transport's group. It only happens if one program mixes transports, which is a programming error.

• Three acknowledgment shapes on the trait collapse in a follow-up, not here. The pre-cut feature review (moq-dev/moq#8764) found that this PR leaves acknowledged(), delivered()/poll_delivered() and offset/poll_acked side by side. Decided 2026-11-15 (maintainer): ✅ land this PR as it is, plus an m2 follow-up quest in this PR, quest/m2/api-ack-one-primitive.md. That quest deletes acknowledged() and delivered()/poll_delivered() and rebuilds egress stats on offset/poll_acked. ✅ qmux keeps reporting Acked::Unsupported, so qmux egress bills the bytes the link took (rejected: giving the hook qmux's "the link took it" meaning). This replaces the newer PR comment that read as folding the collapse into this PR.

Validation

• cargo check --workspace --all-targets --all-features: clean.
• New transport::boxed::test::a_boxed_stream_forwards_acknowledgment covers two paths. A fake that reports acknowledgments, boxed: a minted offset round-trips, Delivered comes back for an acknowledged offset, and Pending for a later one. A listed memory stream: reports Unsupported.
• just check (lint, fmt, the full test suite) passes after the by-reference change, and the two boxed acknowledgment tests pass with --all-features.
• After merging main (371e5cff1) and adding the follow-up quest: just check passes (13,283 tests run, all passed) and quest check passes.

Caused by

None: new API.

Follow-ups

• quest/m2/api-ack-one-primitive.md [M]: one acknowledgment primitive before the cut (above). It also notes that moq-tokio's and moq-uring's quic::web adapters must implement poll_acked before egress moves onto it, or QUIC egress falls back to bytes taken.
• The driver half already has its quest.

Walkthrough

The send-stream API now defines an offset type, an offset capture method, and acknowledgment polling with delivered and unsupported results. Boxed streams carry native offsets across the erased-stream boundary and forward polling. Wrappers delegate offset operations, while other in-tree implementations use the unit offset. The quest documentation records the revised API shape and implementation scope.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 5f4a2

This change adds an acknowledgment API to the send-stream trait. It is a breaking change for out-of-tree implementations, which must add Offset and offset(). The one open issue is ambiguous planning documentation about how egress is billed for streams that cannot report acknowledgments. Clarify that wording so it matches the qmux decision. Otherwise the change looks safe to merge.

Explanation

The description is specific and related to the changeset. It explains the new poll::SendStream acknowledgment hook (type Offset, offset(), poll_acked, and the Acked enum). It lists the in-tree backends that use type Offset = (), notes the boxed-stream erasure, and states the breaking change for out-of-tree implementers with a migration path. It also covers validation, decisions, and follow-up quests, which match the file changes in the raw summary.

Reviewed changes

I reviewed the whole PR: the new acknowledgment hook on poll::SendStream, how each backend and wrapper picks it up, and how boxed.rs erases the offset.

• Trait shape: poll::SendStream gains type Offset: Clone + 'static, offset(), and a poll_acked that defaults to Ready(Ok(Acked::Unsupported)). A new #[non_exhaustive] poll::Acked { Delivered, Unsupported } carries the result.
• Backends: memory, qmux, moq-tokio's and moq-uring's quic::web, and every test fake use type Offset = () and keep the default.
• Wrappers: ietf Ranked<T> and moq-uring Local<T> forward offset/poll_acked to the stream they wrap.
• Boxed layer: boxed::Offset erases the transport's offset behind Arc<dyn Any + Send + Sync> and downcasts it back. A foreign type panics. Boxable now also requires Offset: Send + Sync. On a preempted listed stream, poll_acked still behaves correctly: Listed::preempt resets the inner stream, so the inner poll_acked fails, as its contract says.
• Quest docs: the m2 trait quest is removed and the m3 driver quest is rewritten to match what landed (Clone instead of Copy, () instead of a u64 count).

ℹ️ The trait now has two ways to report acknowledgment

poll::SendStream already had acknowledged() -> Option<bool>, delivered() -> Option<u64>, and poll_delivered(). For those, None means the transport can't tell, and qmux counts bytes the link accepted as delivered. The new poll_acked reports the same idea with Acked::Unsupported, and qmux answers Unsupported there. So the same trait now gives two different answers about qmux, in two different shapes.

The m3 quest explains the choice (minted offsets include quic::web's header, and a counter snapshot can miss wakeups), so nothing needs to change here. It might still be worth a sentence in poll_acked's doc on how it relates to delivered(), so out-of-tree implementers know which one to fill in.

Finding from the pre-cut feature review (moq-dev/moq#8764), for this PR to weigh before the trait freezes:

With this PR, poll::SendStream would carry three shapes for one fact, "how much the peer acknowledged":

• acknowledged() -> Option<bool> (rs/moq-net/src/transport.rs:780). Its only reader outside tests is the debug log in transport/open.rs:141, through OpenStream::acknowledged.
• delivered() / poll_delivered() (transport.rs:791, :799), from moq-dev/moq#8660. Egress stats run on these.
• This PR's Offset, offset() and poll_acked.

The trait is public and unsealed, so every one of these that ships at the cut becomes a method every out-of-tree transport implements for good. Suggestion: land one primitive. Either derive delivered from offset/poll_acked, or build the hook on delivered. Then delete acknowledged() and OpenStream::acknowledged, and make the debug log compare delivered against bytes written.

Recommended: whichever keeps a single method pair. I lean toward keeping this PR's shape and expressing delivered through it, since offset is what the hook needs.

[kixelated]

Agreed that this applies: one fact shouldn't ship as three methods on a public, unsealed trait. I'm not folding the fix into this PR, for two reasons:

• Merging them needs a decision first. delivered() counts what qmux's link took as delivered, while qmux's poll_acked reports Acked::Unsupported ("writing into TCP is not delivery", decided 2026-10-22 in quic-ack-hook). If egress stats move onto offset/poll_acked, qmux egress falls back to bytes taken (the same number it reports today), unless the hook adopts qmux's "link took it" meaning. Moving the stats onto offsets also means coding::writer's Delivery keeps one opaque offset per waiting frame instead of comparing a u64.
• Nothing freezes until the cut, and main allows breaking changes. Landing this shape now and collapsing acknowledged() and delivered()/poll_delivered() onto it in a separate m2 PR costs nothing extra.

Recommendation: keep this PR's offset/poll_acked as the single primitive. Delete acknowledged() and OpenStream::acknowledged, so the debug log in transport/open.rs reports whether poll_acked at the current offset is ready. Rebuild stats::Delivery on per-frame offsets and delete delivered/poll_delivered. Make that an m2 quest required by the cut, as a follow-up in moq-dev/moq#8764 where the finding came from, with qmux's meaning as its open decision (my pick: keep Unsupported, so qmux egress bills bytes taken, as it does today).

(Written by Claude Opus 5.5 with low effort)

The maintainer picked the recommendation in my comment above, on moq-dev/moq#8764:

• keep this PR's Offset, offset() and poll_acked;
• derive delivered from them;
• drop acknowledged() and OpenStream::acknowledged.

That leaves poll::SendStream one acknowledgement primitive before the trait freezes at the cut.

It removes acknowledged(), OpenStream::acknowledged, delivered() and poll_delivered(), and moves egress stats::Delivery onto poll_acked. qmux keeps reporting Unsupported, so it still bills the bytes the link took. The quic::web adapters must implement poll_acked before the stats move. Its claims match the code: moq-quic's send::Stream::poll_acked is public, and the debug log in transport/open.rs counts streams whose acknowledged is Some(true). This quest now covers the two-acknowledgment-shapes note from the first review.
