Problem

The 0.22.0 cut waits on the Cargo feature review: every Cargo feature judged against the # Features rules in rs/AGENTS.md before the breaking release freezes them. The maintainer's 2026-11-12 plan runs a first pass on main now and a delta pass after m2.

Approach

Inventoried all 31 [features] tables (including fuzz on moq-sock and moq-uring from moq-dev/moq#8711, and sim/test-support from moq-dev/moq#8709), every internal dependency's features =/default-features, every --features that CI, Nix, release workflows, and the binding build hooks pass, and cfg(feature) counts per crate. Measured each suspect feature's cost with cargo tree -e normal, both on its own crate and inside the shipped binary.

What the measurements found:

  • In moq-relay, the default quic, websocket, uds, and cluster-lan together add 10 of its 278 crates, and qlog adds one (qlog itself). Against that, moq-tokio's transports have about 660 cfg sites, moq-relay's about 160, and they need the "every subset compiles" matrix in just rs features. No shipped build turns them off.
  • moq-archive takes any ObjectStore. The code that integrates S3/GCS/Azure is moq-cli's open_store, so moq-cli's s3/gcs/azure already sit in the crate that owns the integration. The quest's premise that they belong in moq-archive was wrong, and the rewritten quest corrects it.
  • aec (moq-audio) adds no dependency: it gates logic only. moq-ffi's audio/video are defaults that no build turns off. moq-webrtc's p2p has no in-repo consumer, and its dependencies are already in moq-cli's tree.

This run changes no code (decided 2026-10-26). It files three m2 quests, rewrites this quest to the delta pass with m2 under Required, and records the method, what was kept and why, and what to check first.

Choices I made without asking (maintainer away):

  • Kept the async features in nine crates, since the maintainer decided them on 2026-11-05 (moq-dev/moq#7607). I didn't re-argue them.
  • Kept the test and harness hooks (fuzz, sim, test-support, testing, test, bench, _manual, _probe) under their current names. Cross-crate tests and fuzz crates need them. Renaming them to one convention would cost churn and buy nothing.
  • Kept serde features and moq-crypto's sign/e2ee/cpu/provider. The crypto ones keep moq-net out of moq-quic's graph.
  • Kept moq-video's capture. It only trims compile time, but the bindings leave device I/O to the language wrappers, and its platform frameworks would make mobile builds bigger.
  • Split qlog from the network-stack quest, so each removal can be kept or dropped on its own. Expect manifest conflicts between them.
  • Fixed stale names: cli-packaging.md and nixpkgs-cli.md still called moq-cli's everything-on feature release. The maintainer renamed it to full on 2026-11-07.

Impact

None: quest files only. The follow-ups each break Cargo feature names, and each says how to migrate.

Alternatives

  • Filing one quest for every removal. Rejected: the leaf-crate trims are each XS and mechanical.
  • Moving s3/gcs/azure into moq-archive along with a public open(url). Rejected: moq-cli is its only consumer.

Decisions

Maintainer picks, 2026-11-14 (/quest-complete), recorded in each quest's Plan:

  • ✅ Merge.
  • features-network: ✅ keep in m2 (rejected: drop it).
  • features-qlog: ✅ keep in m2 (rejected: drop it).
  • features-leaf-trims: ✅ keep in m2 (rejected: drop it).
  • io_uring: ✅ always compile moq-relay's io_uring runtime on Linux as part of features-network (rejected: keep io-uring as an opt-in feature).

Follow-ups

  • Always compile the network stack (m2, L): removes the moq-tokio, moq-relay, moq-cli, moq-bench, moq-boy, and qmux transport, discovery, and STUN features. Kept in m2; io_uring always compiles on Linux (see Decisions).
  • Always compile qlog (m2, S): removes every qlog feature, the C++ MOQ_FFI_QLOG option, and moq-ffi's moq_qlog_supported. Kept in m2.
  • Drop the compile-trim features from the media and gateway crates (m2, S): removes moq-audio aac/bus/aec, moq-ffi audio/video, moq-rtmp tls, moq-webrtc p2p, moq-quic mux, and moq-video dmabuf, and makes v4l2 a default. Kept in m2.

Validation

No behavior to exercise: quest files only. quest check --base origin/main and just check pass. The dependency deltas above come from cargo tree --locked -e normal --prefix none with and without each feature.

Walkthrough

The changes add three m2 quest documents that describe proposed compile-feature updates for media, network, and qlog components. The m3 CLI packaging and nixpkgs plans now refer to the full feature set instead of release. The release feature-audit document now describes a delta review of features added or changed since the first pass.

Merge Risk: Low · up to ffaf8

This PR only adds and updates planning documents, so nothing changes at runtime. The m2 feature-removal plans leave out several follow-up edits (test, justfile and doc references), which would cause build or test failures when the plans are implemented. Add those references to the plans before merging, or accept the gap and catch them during implementation.

Explanation

The title "quest: Cargo feature review, first pass" matches the main change: the PR adds a first-pass Cargo feature review, rewrites the feature-flags quest as a delta pass, and files three m2 follow-up quests. It is specific and concise, and it names the core work.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is directly related to the changeset. It explains that the PR is part of the 0.22.0 Cargo feature review, lists the quest files filed and rewritten, records the inventory and measurements, and states that the change touches quest files only. It is specific and on-topic, so it passes the lenient check.

Reviewed changes — the full diff of six quest markdown files (no code).

  • Three new m2 quests — features-network.md, features-qlog.md, and features-leaf-trims.md each file a feature removal with the reason and a migration note.
  • Delta-pass rewrite — release/feature-flags.md records the method, what was kept and why, and what to check first.
  • Stale name fix — cli-packaging.md and nixpkgs-cli.md say full instead of release.

Every relative link target I checked exists.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @quest/m2/features-leaf-trims.md:
- Around line 43-45: Update the `audio-devices` recipe in `rs/justfile` to
replace `aec` with `capture,playback`, preserving both device features when the
removed feature is no longer available. Also update the referenced documentation
and crate READMEs to tell users to replace `aec` with `capture,playback`.
- Line 45: Update the feature-removal plan to include both bus benchmark
references: the CodSpeed rest recipe’s moq-audio/bus argument and the bus
benchmark’s required bus feature. Locate the existing justfile feature
references in the plan and add these two items so the nightly benchmark remains
buildable.

Review comments at @quest/m2/features-network.md:
- Around line 44-45: Update the plan’s statement about removing the `config.rs`
QUIC-feature checks to also include removing the
`workers_require_a_quic_backend` test in `relay.rs`, which asserts the refusal
under `not(feature = "_quic")`.
- Around line 58-60: Update the reference-update list to include the `features`,
`uring`, and `uring-check` recipes in `rs/justfile`; ensure those recipes no
longer pass `websocket` to `moq-cli` or `io-uring` to `moq-relay` after the
feature removals.

Review comments at @quest/m2/features-qlog.md:
- Around line 34-35: The OBS instructions still direct operators to build from
source with the removed `-DMOQ_FFI_QLOG=ON` option. Update the OBS qlog setup
guidance to use the prebuilt library, which now includes qlog, and remove the
unnecessary source-build step.
- Around line 29-30: Update the feature-removal plan in the quest to include
both `rs/justfile` recipes that select the removed features: the `cargo clippy`
recipe for `moq-relay` and the `cargo nextest run` recipe for `moq-uring`.
Specify that both selections must be removed as part of the feature removal.

Review comments at @quest/m3/release/feature-flags.md:
- Around line 7-8: Update the Goal section in feature-flags.md to explicitly
state that features listed under “Kept” are exceptions to its removal rule, so
the Goal and Kept list apply one consistent standard.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed what changed since the prior pullfrog review: quest-file wording only, with no code.

  • Leaf trims quest now says aec becomes capture,playback, and lists the rs/justfile recipe edits.
  • Network quest now names the workers_require_a_quic_backend test and the rs/justfile recipes (features, uring, uring-check) that use removed features.
  • qlog quest now covers doc/bin/obs.md and the rs/justfile uring recipes.
  • Feature-flags quest now says a feature matching a Kept-list reason stays.
