aioquic interop multiplexing 2026-05-06 qlog post-mortem:
- 2898 packets sent in 60s, each carrying ONE STREAM frame
- server log: streams created/discarded strictly serially, ~30-40ms apart
- 1421/2000 files completed before the runner's 60s timeout
- shape ≈ 1 RTT per stream — wire was emitting one stream per datagram
Cause: Http3GetClient.prepareRequests + HqInteropGetClient.prepareRequests
both did `conn.lock.withLock { ... openBidiStreamLocked() }`. Post the
lock-split refactor `conn.lock` is the deprecated alias for lifecycleLock.
The writer's drainOutbound takes streamsLock — not lifecycleLock — so the
send loop interleaved between every two openBidiStreamLocked calls,
draining one stream's data per pass.
Fix:
1. Both prepareRequests impls now use conn.streamsLock.withLock.
2. openBidiStreamLocked now `check`s streamsLock.isLocked at entry
so this can never silently regress again — calling it without the
lock (or with the wrong lock) throws IllegalStateException with
a message naming streamsLock as the lock to acquire.
3. New BatchedOpenLockContractTest pins the contract:
- calling openBidiStreamLocked WITHOUT any lock throws
- calling openBidiStreamLocked while holding lifecycleLock throws
(the exact regression shape)
- calling openBidiStreamLocked while holding streamsLock works
(happy path)
The runtime check is the regression-proof part: future callers physically
cannot hold the wrong lock without the test (and prod) blowing up at the
first call site.

Runner persists:
<case>/output.txt — runner stdout/stderr (+ client logs)
<case>/client/qlog/*.sqlog — qlog under client/qlog/, not client/
<case>/server/stderr.log — server stderr (CONNECTION_CLOSE reason)
Plus targeted grep for the events we actually need to localize a
multiplexing failure:
- last 5 packet_received / packet_sent (where did the flow stall)
- connection_closed (peer error code + reason)
- packet_dropped (sign of decrypt fails / unknown CID / etc.)
Layout varies by runner version; print the tree so we can see what
the runner actually wrote (qlog/pcap/log filenames, sizes) before
guessing at paths.
Pulls the diagnostics needed to localize a multiplexing failure:
- tail client/log.txt (per-stream errors, final outcome)
- tail server/log.txt (peer's CONNECTION_CLOSE reason)
- tail client qlog (frame-level event sequence)
- count downloaded files (how many of N actually finished)
- qlog event-type histogram (e.g. "lots of packet_dropped",
"no stream_state_updated past t=30s", etc.)
Resolves the most recent run-* dir under ../quic-interop-runner/logs
automatically — no need to copy-paste paths after every run.

Implements the operator-facing JSON-RPC admin protocol on the relay
side, layered on top of the existing NIP-98 HTTP-Auth + NIP-86 wire
types in :quartz. Same path as the NIP-01 WebSocket and NIP-11 GET —
HTTP POST with Content-Type application/nostr+json+rpc, gated by a
NIP-98 Authorization header signed by an operator-listed pubkey.
Architecture:
- BanStore — concurrent in-memory state for runtime
pubkey/event/kind ban + allow lists.
- DynamicBanPolicy — IRelayPolicy that consults BanStore on every
EVENT; auto-prepended to every Relay's policy
stack so admin actions take effect without a
restart.
- Nip98AuthVerifier — parses `Authorization: Nostr <base64-event>`,
verifies kind 27235 + Schnorr sig + ±60 s
clock skew + method/url/payload-hash match.
- Nip86Server — JSON-RPC dispatcher. Mutates BanStore for
ban/allow/list methods, mutates the live
RelayInfo doc for changerelayname/desc/icon
(Relay.info is now @Volatile var, mutation
through Relay.updateInfo).
- LocalRelayServer — adds POST handler at the relay path:
403 if no admin pubkeys configured,
401 if NIP-98 missing/invalid,
403 if signer's pubkey isn't on the admin list,
200 with Nip86Response otherwise.
- RelayConfig.AdminSection — `[admin].pubkeys = [...]` config key.
- RelayInfo.default() now advertises NIP-86 alongside 1/9/11/40/42/45/50/62.
Methods implemented:
supportedmethods, banpubkey, unbanpubkey, listbannedpubkeys,
allowpubkey, unallowpubkey, listallowedpubkeys,
banevent (also deletes from store), allowevent, listbannedevents,
allowkind, disallowkind, listallowedkinds,
changerelayname, changerelaydescription, changerelayicon.
Tests (28 new):
- BanStoreTest (6) — ban/allow round-trips, case-insensitive
pubkey match, kind allow/deny precedence,
audit-trail listing.
- Nip86ServerTest (8) — every method's accept/reject path.
- Nip98AuthVerifierTest (8) — happy path, missing/wrong scheme,
url/method/payload-hash mismatch,
stale created_at, wrong event kind.
- Nip86EndToEndTest (6) — real HTTP POST through LocalRelayServer:
supportedmethods returns 200,
outsider returns 403, no auth header
returns 401 + WWW-Authenticate, banpubkey
blocks subsequent EVENT publish over WS,
changerelayname flows to NIP-11 GET,
admin endpoint is disabled when no
pubkeys configured.
Total :quartz-relay tests: 87, 0 failures.
Adds the two browser-tier P0 scenarios deferred from Phase 4.C:
I13 (chromium_listener_long_broadcast_60s_tone_440):
- 60 s end-to-end Amethyst speaker -> Chromium @moq/lite + @moq/hang
Container.Legacy.Consumer; assert >= 50 s of decoded PCM, FFT
peak intact at 440 Hz, zero decoder errors.
- Spec asked for framesPerGroup = 50 against actual Container.Consumer.
Two constraints: (1) @moq/hang 0.2.4 doesn't export the high-level
Container.Consumer/Format API (Phase 4 uses Container.Legacy.Consumer
directly), (2) framesPerGroup = 50 against the local moq-relay
0.10.25 --auth-public minimal setup hits the per-subscriber forward
cliff per 2026-05-07-framespergroup-reconciliation.md. Pin 5
locally; production keeps 50.
- Catches what I1 forward (10 s) doesn't: Chromium WebTransport
MAX_STREAMS_UNI credit drift over 600+ uni streams, group-queue
eviction past MAX_GROUP_AGE = 30 s twice over, WebCodecs decoder
pacing/memory pressure at broadcast scale.
I14 (chromium_decoder_no_errors_through_warmup_window):
- Asserts Chromium AudioDecoder.error fires zero times during
a 10 s broadcast. Browser-tier mate of HangInteropTest's I11
(first_audio_frame_is_not_opus_codec_config); together they
cover T8 (BUFFER_FLAG_CODEC_CONFIG skip) on both reference paths.
- Deliberately no decoderOutputs floor: the Phase 4 harness has
a known cold-launch race that occasionally produces 0 frames
(per 2026-05-06-phase4-browser-harness-results.md). Since I14
is an absence assertion, vacuous-zero is safe — a T8 regression
would still trigger on whichever frames arrive in any green run.
- Note: JVM speaker uses libopus directly (no CSD prefix), so
this test path effectively asserts no spurious decode failures.
T8 itself is an Android-MediaCodecOpusEncoder fix; that path
isn't reachable from a JVM-host test.
Wire changes:
- listen.ts gains decoderOutputs + decoderErrors counters,
exposed via window.__decoderOutputs / __decoderErrors.
- tests/harness.spec.ts surfaces both in the meta JSON line.
- BrowserInteropTest.kt adds parseIntMetaFromStdout helper +
the two new scenarios.
Verification: all 4 BrowserInteropTest scenarios green in one
JVM run, no flake under -DnestsHangInterop=true -DnestsBrowserInterop=true.
The runner's `multiplexing` testcase opens N parallel bidi streams,
each downloading one file, and asserts every file's content lands
on the right stream. Existing tests cover pieces of that:
- MultiplexingThroughputTest: opens 1000 streams in <2s — measures
lock contention but never moves bytes server-side.
- MultiplexingCoalescingTest: pins that 64 streams coalesce into ≤6
packets — encoder contract, no end-to-end.
- MultiStreamFinDeliveryTest: server pushes responses to 50 streams,
client surfaces every FIN — but the CLIENT never sends a STREAM
frame in that test, so any regression in the writer's request-
side multiplex path is invisible.
This test runs the full request → response loop:
1. Open 64 parallel bidi streams
2. Each enqueues a tiny request + FIN
3. Drain client outbound → decrypt → assert all 64 STREAM frames
made it across, with their request bytes intact
4. Server sends one response per stream + FIN
5. Per-stream incoming.toList() must yield the expected response
Failures call out the specific stream id, so a regression points
at "stream X dropped its FIN" instead of a generic timeout.
64 streams keeps wall-clock under a second; the bug class the test
guards against (per-stream loss / mis-routing) fires identically at
64 and 1999.

The existing PtoCryptoRetransmitTest simulated the driver inline:
it set pendingPing=true and called requeueAllInflightCrypto by hand,
then asserted the next drain emitted CRYPTO. That checked the helpers
worked but never noticed when the DRIVER stopped calling
requeueAllInflightCrypto — which is exactly the regression that bit
us in commits c0d7b6031 (qlog merge) and again in cf2303a38
(lock-split refactor).
Extract the PTO-fired logic from QuicConnectionDriver.sendLoop into
a top-level internal helper handlePtoFired(conn). Driver and test now
both call the same function — if anyone unwires the requeue from
that helper or rewrites sendLoop to do volatile-only updates, the
test breaks.
Verified the regression-catch by stripping the requeue from
handlePtoFired and re-running the test: it fails with an
AssertionError on the PTO retransmit packet check, as expected.
Restored the helper, test green again.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
aioquic interop multiplexing qlog (the smoking gun):
packet_sent PN=0 Initial frames=[crypto] (ClientHello)
packet_sent PN=1 Initial frames=[ping] (PTO probe — bare PING)
packet_received connection_close 0x0
"Packet contains no CRYPTO frame"
This is the SAME bug commit c0d7b6031 fixed; the lock-split refactor
(ef4bb9998) re-wrote the driver's PTO branch to use streamsLock and
inlined the @Volatile pendingPing/consecutivePtoCount writes — but
dropped the requeueAllInflightCrypto call that c0d7b6031 had wired
under the (now-renamed) connection.lock.
Restored under levelLock for the appropriate level. SendBuffer's
internal synchronized covers correctness, but the level lock keeps
us from racing the writer's takeChunk mid-build.
The writer's comment at QuicConnectionWriter.kt:421-431 already
documented this contract — it was just unwired on the driver side.

Removes config keys + policies that don't earn their complexity:
- [limits].max_event_bytes / MaxEventBytesPolicy — duplicates
[limits].max_ws_frame_bytes which is the right layer (Ktor frame
cap at the wire), and the policy-level check ran AFTER the event
was already parsed and bound for the store.
- [limits].messages_per_sec, [limits].subscriptions_per_min /
RateLimitPolicy — per-session token buckets without the matching
per-IP / global-EPS infrastructure are mostly cosmetic; an
operator who needs real rate limits will use a reverse proxy.
Also flips [options].verify_signatures default from `false` to `true`.
A relay accepting traffic from real clients should verify Schnorr
signatures, and verify-by-default closes the footgun of forgetting
the flag. The CLI gains `--no-verify` for explicit opt-out
(test fixtures, mirror replays); the old `--verify` is dropped (a
no-op now anyway).
Removed:
- quartz-relay/.../policies/MaxEventBytesPolicy.kt
- quartz-relay/.../policies/RateLimitPolicy.kt
- 7 obsolete tests in PoliciesTest + 1 in PoliciesIntegrationTest
- The matching config fields in LimitsSection
- Sample config entries in config.example.toml
- Wiring in Main.composePolicy
Added:
- Test verifySignaturesCanBeExplicitlyDisabled covering the
new explicit-opt-out path.
Total :quartz-relay tests: 59, 0 failures.
Closes Definition of Done #5 from the cross-stack interop spec:
'Audit-branch fixes T1-T14 each have >= 1 hang-tier AND/OR
browser-tier scenario asserting their wire output. Gap matrix
committed at .../cross-stack-interop-test-gap-matrix.md'.
Maps each T# wire fix that landed in main (T8, T10-T14) to its
asserting interop scenario(s):
- T8 (CSD skip) -> I11 hang ✅, I14 browser ⏳
- T10 (mute endGroup) -> I3 hang ✅
- T11 (drop bestEffort) -> I9 hang ✅
- T12 (group seq h/s) -> I5 hang ✅
- T13 (decoder reset) -> I7 hang ✅ (in sister branch)
- T14 (GOAWAY) -> N/A in moq-lite-03 (IETF unit test only)
Notes the spec's 'T1-T14' is aspirational — only T8, T10-T14 are
concrete fix commits in main; T1-T7, T9, T15 never crystallised.
Documents two coverage holes: I13 (browser framesPerGroup=50 long
broadcast) and I14 (WebCodecs warmup x CSD-skip), both deferred
from Phase 4.C of the browser harness.
No code change.
Tier 1 lock-split agent's worktree was based on main and didn't carry
the Retry-handling work (fields retryToken / retryConsumed, applyRetry
method's references to them). Merge with -X theirs nuked those.
Restored:
- retryToken + retryConsumed @Volatile fields on QuicConnection,
re-attached to applyRetry in the lock-split-merged file.
- LevelState.resetForVersionNegotiation now uses pnSpace.resetForRetry()
to reset the PN counter in place — pnSpace is `val` post-refactor,
direct re-assignment doesn't compile. The naming is historical;
the underlying semantics (zero PN counter + clear received side)
are correct for both VN and Retry-with-fresh-PN cases.
- openBidiStream split into the public suspend wrapper +
openBidiStreamLocked() (caller holds streamsLock). Restores the
batched prepareRequests path's ability to open N streams under one
lock hold.
- close() — local var firedQlog hoisted out of withLock block.
Test suite runs clean. Three deprecation warnings remain on
PtoCryptoRetransmitTest + QlogObserverTest still using the
backward-compat conn.lock alias; left for follow-up cleanup.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
The single connection-wide `QuicConnection.lock` mutex serialised every
critical path: the read loop's `feedDatagram`, the send loop's
`drainOutbound`, and every public mutator (`openBidiStream`,
`streamById`, `flowControlSnapshot`, ...). The multiplexing testcase
opens hundreds of bidi streams in parallel and was capped at ~25
streams/sec by lock contention against the I/O loops.
Phase 1 of the lock split (see
`quic/plans/2026-05-08-lock-split-design.md`) introduces three
domain-specific mutexes:
- `streamsLock` — streams registry, datagram queues, stream-id
counters, connection-level flow-control bookkeeping, pending-
retransmit maps for control frames
- `LevelState.levelLock` (one per encryption level) — per-level
pnSpace / sentPackets / ackTracker / CRYPTO buffers
- `lifecycleLock` — status transitions, close reason/error code
Acquisition order: `lifecycleLock < streamsLock < levelLock`.
Per-stream `synchronized(this)` blocks inside SendBuffer/ReceiveBuffer
remain at the leaf — never acquire any QuicConnection mutex while
holding a per-stream lock.
The legacy `lock: Mutex` field is preserved as a deprecated alias of
`lifecycleLock` for source-compatibility with external test harnesses;
new code MUST use the appropriate domain lock.
Highlights:
- `feedDatagram` / `drainOutbound` now require the caller to hold
`streamsLock`; the driver wraps each call. Phase 1 keeps the whole
feed/drain inside `streamsLock` for safety; phase 2 (deferred) will
split frame-collection from encrypt + sentPackets-record so app
coroutines can intersperse during the encrypt window.
- `pendingPing`, `peerTransportParameters`, `status`,
`handshakeComplete` are now @Volatile so observers read them
without a lock.
- `markClosedExternally` no longer needs any lock (status is
@Volatile, signals are channel-thread-safe).
- Driver's PTO bookkeeping uses the volatile fields directly — no
lock needed.
- Tests that manually acquired `conn.lock` to call
`getOrCreatePeerStreamLocked` / `onTokensAcked` / `onTokensLost`
now acquire `streamsLock` (the domain those routines mutate).
- New `MultiplexingThroughputTest` locks in the contract: 1000
parallel `openBidiStream` calls must complete in <2 s.
Test plan:
- `:quic:jvmTest` — 294 tests pass (293 prior + 1 new throughput).
- `MultiplexingThroughputTest`: 1000 bidi streams in 52 ms
(~19,000 streams/sec on the in-memory pipe), well above the
250+/sec target.
- `:nestsClient:compileKotlinJvm` — clean, no API breaks.
- `./gradlew :quic:spotlessApply` — clean.

Closes the "100ms grace can drop in-flight EVENTs" gap from the
audit.
Behavioural change:
- stop() default grace is now 5 s (was 100 ms) and total timeout 10 s
(was 1 s). A SQLite write + OK reply round-trip easily fits.
- stop() first sends a NOTICE("closing: relay is shutting down —
please reconnect later") to every connected client, so well-
behaved clients can reconnect rather than hammering a dead socket.
- Active client sessions are tracked in a ConcurrentHashMap-backed
set populated by the WebSocket handler's connect/finally pair.
Exposed read-only via [activeSessionCount] so operators (and
tests) can observe lifecycle.
- stop() is now idempotent.
Tests (4 new in GracefulShutdownTest):
- activeSessionCountTracksConnectAndDisconnect — counter goes
0 → 1 on subscribe, → 0 on disconnect.
- stopSendsShutdownNoticeToActiveClients — connected client
receives a NOTICE whose message starts with "closing:".
- stopIsIdempotent — second stop() is a safe no-op.
- rawWsClientObservesNoticeBeforeServerCloses — bare OkHttp ws
client sees the NOTICE frame before the server closes the socket
(proves the order: NOTICE first, then engine.stop).
Total :quartz-relay tests: 66, 0 failures.
Wires the parsed-but-unenforced config sections into actual relay
behavior via five new IRelayPolicy implementations under
quartz-relay/.../policies/. They compose through the existing
PolicyStack so operators stack only what they need; cheap rejection
paths run before expensive ones (rate-limit → AUTH → future/size/lists
→ signature verification).
New policies:
- KindAllowDenyPolicy — kind_whitelist + kind_blacklist
- PubkeyAllowDenyPolicy — pubkey_whitelist + pubkey_blacklist
(case-insensitive)
- RejectFutureEventsPolicy — options.reject_future_seconds
- MaxEventBytesPolicy — limits.max_event_bytes
(size of canonical NIP-01 JSON form)
- RateLimitPolicy — token-bucket per session for
messages_per_sec + subscriptions_per_min;
monotonic clock so wall-time jumps
don't reset buckets.
Plus:
- LocalRelayServer now honors limits.max_ws_frame_bytes /
limits.max_ws_message_bytes via Ktor's WebSockets.maxFrameSize.
- Main.kt builds the policy stack from RelayConfig in composePolicy().
Warning surface is reduced to only the three sections still
pending (max_subscriptions_per_session, max_filters_per_req,
network.remote_ip_header).
- PassThroughPolicy base lets each policy declare only the hook(s)
it actually enforces, keeping call sites readable.
Tests (20 new):
- PoliciesTest (16) — per-policy unit coverage for each accept/reject
boundary, including allow + deny precedence, case-insensitive pubkey
matching, deterministic rate-limit refill via injected clock, and
composition via IRelayPolicy.plus.
- PoliciesIntegrationTest (4) — end-to-end through NostrClient →
RelayHub → Relay; proves OK false comes back over the wire when
policies reject (kind blacklist, pubkey allow-list, future
timestamps, oversize events).
Total :quartz-relay tests: 62, 0 failures.
Also: bump Nip40 deleteExpiredEvents wait from 1500ms to 2500ms — the
previous margin was thin enough to flake on busy CI when the SQLite
unixepoch() rounds down across the wait.
Per maintainer ask: keep cross-stack interop suites out of CI for
now. Both jobs ran ./gradlew :nestsClient:jvmTest with Hang and/or
Browser interop opt-ins enabled, but the underlying HangInteropTest
suite shows ~33% flake on late_join_listener_still_decodes_tail
that the per-method resetShared() fix doesn't fully resolve. CI'ing
flaky suites is net-negative.
Suites still run locally:
./gradlew :nestsClient:jvmTest -DnestsHangInterop=true
./gradlew :nestsClient:jvmTest -DnestsHangInterop=true \
-DnestsBrowserInterop=true \
--tests '*BrowserInteropTest'
Re-evaluate CI gating after the late-join flake's root cause lands.
Diagnosis from yet another qlog round: streams/packet still ~1 even
with the prepareRequest/awaitResponse split. Root cause: openBidiStream
is suspend due to lock.withLock, and each call releases the lock between
iterations. The send loop is queued on the lock; it grabs it the moment
we release, drains the one stream of data we just enqueued, and the
next prepareRequest call has to re-acquire after the send loop releases.
Net: one stream per drain per packet, same useless coalescing as before.
Fix is structural:
- QuicConnection.openBidiStreamLocked() — public, lock-not-acquired
version of openBidiStream. Caller MUST hold conn.lock.
- GetClient.prepareRequests(authority, paths) — batch API that
holds conn.lock once, opens + enqueues all N streams in a single
critical section, releases. Send loop can't interject; when it
next drains it sees ALL N streams' data ready and packs them
into coalesced packets.
- Http3GetClient + HqInteropGetClient: implement prepareRequests
using openBidiStreamLocked under conn.lock.withLock { ... }.
- InteropClient's chunked-multiplex loop: uses prepareRequests
(batch) instead of N x prepareRequest.
Single-stream paths still use prepareRequest / get(); behavior unchanged.
The fundamental architectural improvement (per-stream / per-level lock
split, or actor-model dispatch) is a follow-up; this commit gets us
the throughput we need from the existing single-mutex shape by holding
the lock for the full chunk's worth of work.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
Per maintainer ask: keep the cross-stack interop suite out of CI
for now. The full HangInteropTest suite shows ~33% flake on
late_join_listener_still_decodes_tail (catalog-cancelled race
between the speaker's setOnNewSubscriber hook and the listener's
catalog subscribe-bidi) that the per-method resetShared() fix
doesn't fully resolve. CI'ing a flaky suite is net-negative.
Suite still runs locally via -DnestsHangInterop=true. Results plan
updated to reflect the 'not wired' status with a re-evaluation
trigger (root-cause the late-join flake first).
Rules out three listener-side suspects (subscribeId reuse,
MAX_STREAMS_UNI credit, SUBSCRIBE_BUFFER overflow) by code trace.
Identifies moq-relay 0.10.x's per-broadcast `serve_group` task
pool as the prime suspect — same root cause documented in the
2026-05-01 cliff investigation, surfacing here when the listener's
QUIC session straddles two publisher cycles for the same broadcast
suffix.
Documents what would confirm the diagnosis (Kotlin↔Kotlin
reproducer + flowControlSnapshot + packet capture) and the two
mitigation paths (listener-side: recycleSession on inner cycle,
trade ~500-1000ms more gap for cleaner relay state; relay-side:
upstream feature request already filed in cliff-plan follow-ups).
No production code change. Production audio rooms don't cycle
aggressively enough to hit this cliff in practice.
Two unit tests for the multiplexing throughput problem we just fixed
in the InteropClient (commit bc19e90c1):
1. `64 streams enqueued before drain coalesce into a small fixed
number of packets` — opens 64 bidi streams, enqueues 50 bytes +
FIN on each (no drain between), drains everything, asserts
≤6 packets and ≥10 streams/packet. Pre-fix shape (each enqueue
followed by an immediate single-stream drain) would emit 64 packets.
2. `1000 streams enqueued in batches of 64 produce a tractable packet
count` — stress version mirroring the runner's 1999-file
multiplexing test. Asserts ≤150 packets total for 1000 streams.
Both tests run in <300ms on the in-memory pipe — fast iteration for
debugging the multiplexing-throughput regression cycle without
spinning up Docker.
These pin the contract that ZERO drains between enqueues = packets
batch many streams' frames. The runner-side fix (split GetClient.get
into prepareRequest + awaitResponse, batch prepareRequests serially,
wake once) ensures we hit this shape in real interop.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
Diagnosis from qlog timeline pattern: send packets clustered ~37ms
apart (sim RTT) but each cluster contained only ONE stream's data
(80-byte packets despite 1452-byte capacity). 1457 GETs in 58s, ~25
streams/sec.
Root cause: race between client.get()'s per-call driver.wakeup() and
the dispatcher scheduling the OTHER 63 coroutines. Sequence:
1. c1 acquires conn lock, enqueues request, wakes send loop, releases
2. Send loop wakes, queues for lock — other 63 coroutines haven't
started yet (dispatcher hasn't picked them up)
3. Send loop acquires lock alone, drains c1's data into one tiny
packet, releases
4. c2 finally starts, acquires, enqueues, wakes...
→ one stream per packet, no coalescing
Fix: split GetClient.get() into prepareRequest (open + enqueue + FIN,
synchronous, no wake) and awaitResponse (collect, async). Multiplex
chunk loop now:
Phase 1: serial prepareRequest for every URL in the chunk (64 in
sequence, each adding to send buffers)
Phase 2: SINGLE driver.wakeup() — by now all 64 streams have data
queued; send loop drains them all in coalesced packets
Phase 3: parallel awaitResponse with per-stream timeout
Predicted throughput jump: 25 streams/sec → ~1000+/sec (sim RTT-bound
at ~30ms per round trip = 64 streams per RTT = 2100/sec ceiling).
Single-request paths (transfer / chacha20 / etc) keep using the
default GetClient.get() which still wraps prepare+await; no behavioral
change there.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
Multiplexing-throughput investigation (qlog against aioquic):
~25 streams/sec with 1453 GETs in 58s. The bottleneck under high
stream count was drainOutbound's per-call O(N log N) sort over the
ENTIRE stream list (including streams that have already FIN'd both
ways and have nothing to send).
Two cheap optimizations to drainOutbound's stream iteration:
1. Filter to !isClosed streams BEFORE sort. Most streams under
bursty multiplexing loads are done; iterating them is wasted.
2. Skip sortedByDescending entirely when every stream is at
default priority (priority == 0). The pre-priority round-robin
shape (insertion order) is preserved, satisfying the moq-lite
newer-sequence-stream priority contract by happenstance for
uniform-priority loads.
Drops drainOutbound's per-call cost from O(N log N) where N = total
streams to roughly O(active) under realistic loads. Multiplexing's
~2000 streams accumulated over a run drop down to maybe 64 active at
any moment (the chunk in flight).
Doesn't affect the moq-lite audio path's behavior (small N, default
priorities → both paths reduce to the same round-robin walk).
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
Diagnosis (qlog): 1361 GETs in 58s = 23/sec, but only 2618 packets sent
in that window — 0.5 GETs per packet. We were sending nearly empty
packets one at a time, not coalescing requests.
Root cause: stream.send.enqueue + stream.send.finish() don't wake the
send loop. The send loop suspends on sendWakeup until either an
inbound packet arrives or the PTO timer fires (~1s). For our chunked
parallel multiplexing path:
1. enqueue 64 GETs into 64 streams
2. send loop is asleep (last drain happened on previous chunk)
3. wait ~1s for PTO before any of them go on the wire
4. server processes, replies, our read loop wakes the send loop
5. send loop drains ACKs (no new requests yet)
Each chunk wasted ~1s of PTO wait. With ~21 chunks at 1s each plus
RTTs and server processing, throughput floored at ~23 streams/sec.
Fix: pass QuicConnectionDriver to Http3GetClient + HqInteropGetClient
constructors. After stream.send.finish(), call driver.wakeup() to
nudge the send loop. The first request of each chunk now leaves
within microseconds instead of waiting for PTO.
Predicted throughput: 600+ streams/sec (RTT-bound at 30ms per chunk
of 64 = 2100/sec ceiling; CPU and lock contention drop it to ~600).
1999 streams in 3-5s instead of timing out at 60s.
The architectural fix would be having stream.send.enqueue auto-wake
via a callback set during stream creation. That's the cleaner shape;
this commit takes the minimal path: explicit driver-passed wakeup
from interop client code where the throughput matters.

Closes the gaps from the test audit. Adds 24 new tests covering
features we advertise in NIP-11 but previously had zero coverage for,
plus regression tests for the wire-format bugs fixed earlier on this
branch.
New files:
- Nip09DeletionTest (4 tests) — deletion removes targeted events,
deletion event itself is queryable, reinsert is blocked, cross-
author deletion is ignored.
- Nip40ExpirationTest (3 tests) — expired-on-arrival events
rejected, future-expiration events stored and retrievable,
deleteExpiredEvents() purges past-expiration entries.
- Nip62VanishTest (3 tests) — vanish cascades prior events,
blocks re-insertion of older events, doesn't affect other authors.
Extended LocalRelayServerTest (+4 tests, now 9):
- nip42_successfulAuthUnlocksPublishing — full AUTH dance over
real WebSocket: relay challenge → RelayAuthenticator signs →
OK true → publishAndConfirm now succeeds.
- nip01_okMessageRoundtripWithEmptyAndNonEmptyMessage —
regression test for the OkMessage serializer bug fixed earlier.
- nip11_servesConfigDrivenInfoDoc — custom RelayInfo flows
through to the NIP-11 GET response.
- nip01_closeStopsLiveSubscription — CLOSE over the wire
actually terminates a live subscription.
Extended Nip01ComplianceTest (+5 tests, now 18):
- reqFiltersByPTag, reqFiltersByGenericSingleLetterTag (#t),
reqTagFilterValuesAreOred, reqMultipleFiltersAreOred,
multipleSubscriptionsOnOneConnectionAreIndependent.
Total: 42 tests in :quartz-relay (was 23), 0 failures.
Multiplexing matters — MoQ audio rooms run hundreds of concurrent streams
(one per Opus frame). Earlier diagnosis showed our endpoint was
hard-capped at ~23 streams/sec because spawning 1999 simultaneous
coroutines all racing :quic's single conn.lock cratered throughput.
Diagnosis from the qlog/output.txt: 1359 GETs processed in 58s. Lock
contention scales superlinearly with suspended coroutines:
- every drainOutbound walks streamsList O(N)
- every openBidiStream queues behind every other waiter
- the dispatcher thrashes context-switching across 1999 channels
Fix: process the multiplexing testcase's URLs in chunks of 64. Each
chunk is fully parallel on the wire (what the runner's tshark
multiplexing check verifies — streams overlap in time WITHIN a chunk),
and conn.lock only ever has ~64 live waiters instead of ~1999.
Predicted throughput jump from 23 to ~600+ streams/sec. 1999 files in
~3 seconds instead of timing out at 60.
Per-stream timeout still wraps each get() — a single hung stream
surfaces as status=0 instead of stalling its chunk's await.
This is the right answer for the throughput angle. The conn-lock split
remains a follow-up for genuinely-stratospheric stream counts (10k+),
but 64-wide concurrency comfortably handles the runner's 1999 and
real MoQ audio-room load shapes (hundreds of concurrent streams).
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
The QPACK_MAX_TABLE_CAPACITY=0 advertisement worsened the result
(1 file → 0 files written). Empirical: empty SETTINGS = spec defaults
(both 0) and aioquic was already sending literal-encoded responses
under that condition.
Real bug isn't QPACK — diagnostic showed 1359 GETs processed in 58s
(~23 streams/sec). Throughput is hard-bottlenecked by :quic's single
conn.lock serializing send loop + read loop + openBidiStream across
1999 waiting coroutines. Even at maximum throughput we'd only complete
~1400 of 1999 in 60s. The 1 file we managed previously was just the
first response landing before lock contention spiked.
Filed multiplexing as a known-throughput-limit follow-up. Possible
fixes (per-level lock split / Semaphore-bounded concurrency / QPACK
dynamic-table support) are all non-trivial and the testcase is a
stress test, not a real-world load shape.
For now: revert to empty SETTINGS, accept multiplexing as the lone
deferred testcase. Aioquic + picoquic stay at 6/7.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
aioquic multiplexing diagnosis: runner asked for 1999 files, aioquic
processed 1371 GET requests, our endpoint wrote ONLY 1 file to
/downloads. The connection stayed healthy throughout (qlog shows
STREAM frames flowing both ways at t=58s). Server response volume
indicates each request got a 200 response.
The bug: our QpackDecoder is literal-only (no dynamic table). When
aioquic primes its dynamic table after a few requests and switches
to dynamic-table references in subsequent response HEADERS, our
decoder silently mis-parses — status comes back 0, file not written.
Empty-SETTINGS gives aioquic the spec default (also 0) but it apparently
doesn't strictly enforce: it still emits dynamic-refs anyway.
Fix: explicitly advertise QPACK_MAX_TABLE_CAPACITY=0 +
QPACK_BLOCKED_STREAMS=0 in our SETTINGS. Forces aioquic onto the
literal-only QPACK path that our decoder handles correctly.
A proper fix would be to implement QPACK dynamic-table support in our
decoder + read the server's encoder stream; that's its own project.
For now this gets multiplexing past the QPACK barrier so we can see
whether anything else is broken downstream.

Adds operator-facing TOML configuration to :quartz-relay, with the
section layout deliberately mirroring nostr-rs-relay's config.toml so
existing operators can port across with little churn.
Sections parsed AND enforced today:
[info] — NIP-11 doc fields (name, description, contact, pubkey,
software, supported_nips, …); replaces the previous
hardcoded RelayInfo.default()
[network] — host, port, path
[database] — in_memory toggle + file path
[options] — verify_signatures, require_auth (compose to the right
IRelayPolicy stack)
Sections parsed today but NOT YET ENFORCED (forward-compat for the
upcoming rate-limit / authorization work — relay logs a warning when
they're set):
[limits] — max_event_bytes, messages_per_sec, …
[authorization] — pubkey_whitelist/blacklist, kind_whitelist/blacklist
[options].reject_future_seconds
[network].remote_ip_header
CLI flag precedence over the config file is preserved: --host, --port,
--path, --info, --db, --auth, --verify all override the matching field.
Adds:
- cc.ekblad:4koma 1.2.0 for TOML parsing
- quartz-relay/config.example.toml as the canonical operator reference
- 5 unit tests (defaults, full parse, NIP-11 mapping, bundled example
file, optional sections)
The previous coroutineScope { urls.map { async { ... } }.map { it.await() } }
pattern was vulnerable to a single hung stream blocking the whole await
chain — even though the others completed, sequential .await() iteration
would hang on the slowest forever. With multiplexing's hundreds of
streams, the probability of at least one having an issue (lost FIN,
slow consumer hitting channel-saturation thresholds, etc.) is high.
Wrap each get() in withTimeoutOrNull(PER_STREAM_TIMEOUT_SEC). A timed-out
stream surfaces as GetResponse(status=0); the caller's status != 200
check counts it as a failure but doesn't block the loop.
Doesn't fix throughput — that needs separate work on per-stream
backpressure and parser fairness. Just makes the failure mode visible
(status=0 → "failed file") rather than hidden (whole test times out
because of one bad stream).
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
aioquic multiplexing qlog showed:
t=31424: still receiving STREAM frames
t=31493: PTO timer expired
t=31507: connection_closed (owner: local)
We were still actively transferring when our 30s timeout fired. The
multiplexing testcase generates many small files (3431 sim packets
captured for the run) and download throughput on Mac+Rosetta is
dominated by per-write filesystem overhead in the Docker volume mount.
60s gives enough headroom without making fast-completing tests slower.
Doesn't fix any real protocol issue — just lets the test budget match
the workload.
If multiplexing still fails after this, the next investigation is the
sequential `.map { it.await() }` pattern in runTransferTest: a single
hung stream blocks the await chain even though others completed.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
LiveEventStore.query had a race window between emitting EOSE and
registering as a SharedFlow collector — any event emitted in that
window was lost because newEventStream has replay=0. The race was
usually masked by SQLite write latency for persisted kinds, but it
fired reliably for ephemeral kinds (20000-29999) where store.insert
is a no-op.
Per NIP-01 ephemeral events are not persisted but MUST still reach
matching active subscriptions. Fixed by registering the live
collector before signalling EOSE via Flow.onSubscription.
Adds two tests: one proves an ephemeral event reaches an active
subscriber, the other proves it isn't persisted (a follow-up REQ
returns zero events).
Documents why the test pin (5) and production default (50) are NOT
the same value despite both being 'fixes' for relay-side cliffs in
moq-relay 0.10.25. They are tuned for two distinct cliffs in the
same binary:
- Production cliff (need 50): per-stream rate. serve_group's task
pool can't tolerate any blocked open_uni().await — slower stream
creation gives the pool time to drain.
- Local interop cliff (need 5): per-stream byte volume. moq-relay
0.10.25's per-subscriber forward buffer holds the data side of
large groups on loopback.
Local environment (loopback, no loss, single subscriber) doesn't
reproduce the conditions (CWND collapse, transient stalls) that fire
the production cliff. So testing at framesPerGroup=5 is safe for
the interop env but actively wrong for production audio rooms.
Recommendation: status quo. Both kdocs already cross-reference the
field-test runs that justified each value. The only safe escalation
is to re-run HCgOY's two-phone field tests against the current
production deployment to confirm the cliff still hits at framesPerGroup=5.
No production code change.
aioquic's retry test result, surfaced via qlog:
Check of downloaded files succeeded.
Client reset the packet number. Check failed for PN 0
Our applyRetry called LevelState.resetForVersionNegotiation, which
creates a fresh PacketNumberSpaceState() — resetting PN to 0. The
qlog confirmed: PN=0 sent at t=388 (pre-Retry ClientHello), then PN=0
again at t=1468 (post-Retry retried ClientHello). Same PN reused
across the boundary.
RFC 9001 §5.7 + RFC 9000 §17.2.5: the Initial PN namespace CONTINUES
across the Retry boundary. The new Initial keys are derived from the
new DCID, but PN doesn't reset. Reusing a PN under different keys
makes the runner's pcap-decryption check fail (it's also a security
concern in the general case, hence the strict spec rule).
Fix: new LevelState.resetForRetry that's identical to
resetForVersionNegotiation EXCEPT it preserves pnSpace. applyRetry
calls resetForRetry. Two regression tests updated to assert the
post-Retry Initial uses PN=1 (continues from PN=0 of the pre-Retry
attempt) rather than PN=0 (the buggy reset behavior).
For Version Negotiation the original semantics still apply (RFC 9000
§6.2: client treats VN as if the original Initial was never sent;
PN reset to 0 is correct).
This should bring the retry testcase from ✕(S) to ✓(S) against
servers that exercise the Retry path. The handshake / transfer
already succeeded over the Retry per the qlog (the server's check
"Check of downloaded files succeeded." passed); only the PN-reuse
flag was failing the test.

Renames :quartz-test-relay to :quartz-relay and promotes it from a
test-only fixture to a real, runnable Nostr relay that just happens
to also be used in tests.
Two transports now share the same `Relay` core:
- `RelayHub` + `InProcessWebSocket` — no socket, fastest path; ideal
for unit tests inside one JVM.
- `LocalRelayServer` — Ktor `embeddedServer` (CIO engine) listening
on a real `ws://` port. Use for `cli` interop tests, Android
instrumented tests, or running the relay standalone.
NIPs implemented (all driven through production `NostrClient` in the
new `LocalRelayServerTest`):
- NIP-01 wire protocol (REQ/EVENT/EOSE/CLOSE) over real WebSockets
- NIP-09 deletion (via existing `DeletionRequestModule`)
- NIP-11 relay info doc — `RelayInfo` wraps the existing
`Nip11RelayInformation` model and is served on HTTP GET when
`Accept: application/nostr+json` is requested. Loadable from a
JSON config file via `RelayInfo.fromFile(...)`.
- NIP-40 expiration (existing `ExpirationModule`)
- NIP-42 AUTH (existing `FullAuthPolicy`, opted-in via the
`--auth` flag in the standalone runner)
- NIP-45 COUNT
- NIP-50 search via the existing FTS index
- NIP-62 right-to-vanish (existing module)
Adds a standalone runner: `./gradlew :quartz-relay:run --args="--port 7447 --verify"`
binds the relay to a real port. Flags: --host, --port, --path,
--info <file>, --db <file>, --auth, --verify.
Test-only event generators moved to a clearly-named
`com.vitorpamplona.quartz.relay.fixtures` package so they're still
shareable with consumer tests without polluting the production API.
Adds `LocalRelayServerTest` covering NIP-01/11/42/45/50 over a real
loopback WebSocket. Existing 11-test `Nip01ComplianceTest` (in-process
transport) continues to pass.
Phase 4.C: adds `chromium_round_trips_a_moq_lite_session`, the I15
WT-Protocol scenario from the parent plan. Asserts that whatever
moq-lite-* version the relay negotiates over Chromium's WebTransport
ALPN list survives the round-trip on `Connection.version`. Loosened
from the spec's exact `moq-lite-03` pin because moq-relay 0.10.x in
this build advertises the legacy `moql` ALPN and SETUP-negotiates
DRAFT_02; the prefix check still catches a regression that breaks
moq-lite negotiation entirely or downgrades to a non-lite version.
The remaining 4.C scenarios (I2/I3/I4/I13/I14) are deferred —
the browser path's Chromium boot lag truncates the capture window
to the broadcast tail, which collapses I2/I3 into the same shape
as I1; I4-reverse / I14 need the publish.ts pump fully validated.
See the results doc for the deviation list.
Phase 4.D: adds a `browser-interop` GitHub Actions job parallel to
`hang-interop`. Reuses the cargo cache (the harness boots the same
moq-relay) and adds bun + node_modules + Playwright browser caches
keyed on package.json + bun.lock so warm runs are near-zero. Linux-
only matrix per the parent plan.
Results plan documents what landed, the 4 deviations from the spec
(API surface, cert pinning, sample-count tolerance, deferred 4.C
scenarios), and follow-ups for the next phase.
Verification:
- `./gradlew :nestsClient:jvmTest --tests
com.vitorpamplona.nestsclient.interop.native.BrowserInteropTest
-DnestsHangInterop=true -DnestsBrowserInterop=true` green
(both tests pass).
- HangInteropTest scenarios remain green when the browser flag
is off.

Direct evidence from aioquic interop qlog:
packet_sent PN=0 frames=[crypto] (ClientHello)
packet_sent PN=1 frames=[ping] (PTO probe — bare PING)
packet_received frames=[connection_close]
reason="Packet contains no CRYPTO frame"
aioquic strictly rejects pre-handshake Initials that contain no
CRYPTO frame. Our PTO probe was a bare PING, not a CRYPTO retransmit.
Agent 2's c9e036f72 implemented the right behavior: on PTO, the
driver requeues all inflight CRYPTO at the highest pre-application
level, so the next drain emits a fresh CRYPTO frame at the original
offset. The pendingPing flag stays as a fallback only used when no
CRYPTO is available to retransmit. That logic was wiped during the
qlog observer merge — driver's PTO branch only set pendingPing,
nothing requeued anything, probe was always bare PING.
Restored. Should fix the post-flush-fix regression where aioquic
went 1/7 (only transfer green) — once a packet was dropped or PTO
fired, the next probe was bare PING, aioquic closed with
"no CRYPTO frame", the test failed. Sequential tests on the same
matrix invocation likely intermittently passed/failed depending on
whether PTO fired before the response arrived.
The :quic helpers requeueAllInflightCrypto + highestPreApplicationLevel
already exist on the branch — just the driver call wasn't wired.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
aioquic still 0/7 after the close-race fix because there's a deeper
issue. QlogWriter.writeLineLocked() called writer.flush() on every
event. On macOS Docker Desktop the filesystem is virtualized and
per-event flush is multi-millisecond. The qlog hooks fire from
QuicConnectionWriter.drainOutbound() which runs INSIDE
conn.lock.withLock { ... } on the send loop. Every flush stalls
that lock; the receive loop blocks indefinitely trying to acquire
it for feedDatagram().
Symptom matched: client.sqlog showed our ClientHello packet_sent
at t=400ms, then NOTHING for the rest of the test — no
packet_received (server's response never decoded), no PTO probe
(send loop stuck behind disk IO).
Fix: remove per-event flush. close() flushes once at the end of
the run, which gives us the trace for everything except a hard
JVM kill mid-test (acceptable trade). BufferedWriter still buffers
in-memory; we don't lose events, just don't sync them to disk
synchronously.
Should restore aioquic to 5/7. picoquic was already 5/7 because
its server-response timing apparently let our send loop drain
between flushes; aioquic's faster turnaround tripped the lock more
reliably.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
Lands the bun + Playwright + headless Chromium harness for the
T16 cross-stack interop suite, parallel to the existing Rust
hang-listen tier. New top-level `nestsClient-browser-interop/`
directory with `@moq/lite` + `@moq/hang` 0.2.x pinned, a bun
static + WebSocket back-channel server, and a Playwright runner
that opens `listen.html` against the same `NativeMoqRelayHarness`
moq-relay subprocess the Rust scenarios use.
Kotlin side: `PlaywrightDriver` shells out to `bun x playwright
test`, forwards the relay URL + leaf-cert SHA-256 (captured via
a custom `CertCapturingValidator` during the speaker's QUIC
handshake), and reads back Float32 LE PCM frames from a tempfile
the bun WS server appends to. `BrowserInteropTest` ships I1
forward — Amethyst Kotlin speaker → Chromium `@moq/lite`
listener, asserting FFT 440 Hz on the captured tail.
Why pin via `serverCertificateHashes` instead of
`--ignore-certificate-errors`: Chromium's flag does NOT bypass
QUIC cert validation (crbug.com/1190655). `serverCertificateHashes`
is the supported path; moq-relay's `--tls-generate` produces a
14-day ECDSA P-256 cert that satisfies the spec.
Two Gradle tasks added: `interopBuildBrowserHarness` (bun
install + bun build → dist/) and `interopInstallPlaywrightChromium`
(skipped when `PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH` already has a chromium
build, as on the agent runner).
Verification:
- `./gradlew :nestsClient:jvmTest --tests
com.vitorpamplona.nestsclient.interop.native.BrowserInteropTest
-DnestsHangInterop=true -DnestsBrowserInterop=true` green.
- I1 forward asserts ≥ 1 s of decoded PCM with 440 Hz FFT peak.
Looser sample-count bound than the hang-tier I1 because
Chromium cold-launch + WebTransport handshake (3–5 s) + the
publisher's `framesPerGroup = 5` per-subscriber cache cliff
means the page captures only the broadcast tail.
Phase 4.C (I2/I3/I4/I13/I14/I15) and 4.D (CI) are separate
follow-up commits per the plan's per-scenario commit guidance.

Replaces production-relay (wss://nos.lol, wss://nostr.bitcoiner.social)
dependencies in 10 quartz JVM relay tests with a deterministic
in-process Nostr relay built on top of the existing NostrServer +
EventStore, plus a NIP-01 compliance suite that exercises the bridge
end-to-end through NostrClient.
The new :quartz-test-relay module exposes:
- TestRelay / TestRelayHub: NostrServer + in-memory EventStore per URL,
registry implements WebsocketBuilder so tests can drop it into
NostrClient in place of BasicOkHttpWebSocket.Builder.
- InProcessWebSocket: bridges the WebSocket abstraction to RelaySession
with a single-coroutine drain to preserve message ordering.
- SyntheticEvents / RelayFixtures: deterministic event generators and a
loader for the existing nostr_vitor_*.json corpora.
Found and fixed three NIP-01/NIP-45 wire-format bugs in the relay
serializers that prevented round-trip through the in-tree NostrClient:
- OkMessage wrote success as a JSON string instead of a boolean,
causing publishAndConfirm to hang.
- CountMessage dropped the queryId, breaking COUNT response routing.
- CountResult used the field name "pubkey" instead of "approximate".
Both Jackson and kotlinx-serialization paths were affected; both fixed
to match NIP-01/NIP-45 wire formats.
aioquic full-matrix run came back 0/7 with stack traces:
java.io.IOException: Stream closed
at QlogWriter.writeLineLocked(QlogWriter.kt:289)
at QlogWriter.onPacketSent(QlogWriter.kt:126)
at QuicConnectionWriter.emitQlogSent(...)
The send loop runs concurrently with InteropClient's teardown sequence:
1. driver.close() — launches CLOSING → CLOSED async
2. qlogWriter?.close() — closes the file
3. delay(50)
4. scope.cancel() — kills coroutines
Between (2) and (4), the send loop is still alive and emits
packet_sent for the CONNECTION_CLOSE Initial. QlogWriter.writeLineLocked
threw IOException into the send loop, propagated up, took down the
connection — including connections that had completed transfer
successfully.
Fix: QlogWriter swallows post-close IOExceptions silently. An observer
must NOT break the connection it's observing — that's the whole NoOp
contract. Adds @Volatile closed flag, latches it both on explicit
close() and on the first IOException; subsequent emits short-circuit.
picoquic was 5/7 (predictable: M + S still open) so the regression was
specifically aioquic-timing-sensitive. With this fix aioquic should
return to 5/7 too.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
I12 was filed as 'production goAway surface required'. That's wrong:
GOAWAY is an IETF draft-ietf-moq-transport-17 control message
(referenced in MoqSession.kt:417 only for forward-compat decode
skipping). The moq-lite-03 wire protocol Amethyst runs in production
has no GOAWAY frame — moq-relay 0.10.x signals shutdown by closing
the QUIC connection with a session-reset error code, which is
already exercised indirectly by I7 (publisher reconnect).
Reframed in the plan as 'does not apply to moq-lite-03'. If a
future IETF moq-transport target lands, the test slots in then.
Brings the cross-stack interop results plan up to date with what's
actually shipped:
- Top-level scenario inventory table covering all 13 scenarios
(I1–I11 + Rust↔Rust + Phase 4) with their committed branches.
- Phase 3 section documenting I5 hot-swap, I9 packet loss, and
I10 long broadcast — all landed on this branch.
- I4 stereo (forward + reverse) and I8 SubscribeDrop documented
under Phase 2.E follow-ups.
- Phase 4 (browser harness) and Phase 5 (browser-only scenarios)
status pulled out of the bottom-of-file deferred list and
documented properly.
- Stability section explaining the per-method relay reset + catalog
retry fix for full-suite ordering flakes.
- CI integration section noting the live hang-interop job.
- Pending follow-ups list (framesPerGroup reconciliation, goAway
production surface, post-reconnect listener cliff).
No code change.
Documents:
- Three overnight agents merged (VN defense in :quic, qlog observer
+ JSON-NDJSON writer wired into the prod endpoint, peer-uni-stream
drainer fixing the multiplexing tear-down).
- The agent-A versionnegotiation testcase mismatch — runner doesn't
have that name; v2 is the closest, tests QUIC v2 which we don't
speak. VN code stays as defensive support.
- Open issues for tomorrow: retry test failure (qlog now available
for diagnosis), v2 (deferred), re-runs against all three peers
with the new fixes.
- Documented run-matrix.sh's concurrency limit.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
Agent B's QlogWriter previously lived only in :quic's jvmTest scope,
hooked into the standalone InteropRunner. Brings it into :quic-interop
proper:
- QlogWriter.kt + QlogWriterTest.kt copied into :quic-interop with
package com.vitorpamplona.quic.interop.runner.
- Jackson dep added to :quic-interop's build.gradle.kts.
- InteropClient reads $QLOGDIR (the runner sets it inside the
container per docker-compose.yml). When set, opens a QlogWriter
at <QLOGDIR>/client.sqlog, passes as QuicConnection.qlogObserver,
closes on every exit path (handshake_failed / udp_failed /
transfer_timeout / ok).
- QUIC_INTEROP_DEBUG=1 now prints qlogdir alongside the other env
fields.
Net effect: any future runner-driven test failure dumps a structured
qlog file the user can drag straight into qvis (qvis.quictools.info)
to see frame-by-frame what the client decided to do. The retry test
failure on aioquic + picoquic that we still need to debug now produces
a usable artifact.
NOTE: the QlogWriter copy in :quic's jvmTest stays in place as the
helper for the standalone InteropRunner main(). Slight duplication;
acceptable while :quic-interop is its own module.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01HcvfQq1ttPV9PkRoJb4nyT
Adds the I7 cross-stack interop scenario: the Rust hang-publish reference
publisher drops its session mid-broadcast and re-announces on a fresh
transport, and the Amethyst Kotlin listener (driven through
connectReconnectingNestsListener) re-subscribes via the wrapper's
re-issuance pump.
- hang-publish gains --reconnect-after-ms <N>: at the boundary, drops
the moq_native::Reconnect handle + Origin and rebuilds a fresh
client.with_publish(...) session against the same URL. Re-creates the
broadcast under the same path so the relay sees Announce::Ended →
Active on a single suffix. frame_no (legacy timestamp) and sample_idx
(sine phase) persist across cycles for monotonic listener-side audio.
- HangInteropReverseTest.rust_hang_publish_reconnect_kotlin_listener_recovers
drives the Kotlin listener through connectReconnectingNestsListener
with the proactive JWT refresh disabled, so the only re-issuance
trigger is the publisher's cycle. Asserts ≥ 2.5 s of decoded mono
PCM with the 440 Hz spectral peak intact — pre-reconnect alone is
~1.9 s, so the threshold proves the post-reconnect re-subscribe
delivered frames.
Notes a production-side follow-up in the test threshold comment + the
results plan: with moq-relay 0.10.25 the post-reconnect chunk is
itself truncated mid-stream — the listener captures the first ~10
groups (~1.0 s) of the second cycle then stops getting new uni
streams while the publisher continues to emit them. Plausible cause
is QUIC MAX_STREAMS_UNI credit not returning fast enough on the
listener side, OR a moq-relay 0.10.x per-broadcast forward queue
holding cycle-2 frames behind cycle-1 fan-out. Out of scope for I7
(which validates the re-issuance pump fires); raise as a separate
bug if reproduced outside the harness.
Two corrections from the user's just-completed run:
1. The runner does not have a 'versionnegotiation' testcase. Available
list output: handshake, transfer, longrtt, chacha20, multiplexing,

amplificationlimit, handshakeloss, transferloss, handshakecorruption,
transfercorruption, ipv6, v2, rebind-port, rebind-addr,
connectionmigration. (`v2` exists but tests QUIC v2 protocol
support — we're v1-only, so it would correctly fail.)
The :quic-side VN code from agent A stays as defensive support for
any future server that throws a VN at us; just no testcase wires
it up.
2. run-matrix.sh is NOT safe to run concurrently. The runner's
docker-compose.yml hardcodes container_name: sim/server/client —
Docker enforces those globally regardless of COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME.
Documented the limitation + the recommended sequential loop in
the script's comments.

Two further hardenings on top of the catalog-retry fix to drive
full-suite stability:
- `NativeMoqRelayHarness.resetShared()` — tears down the
current shared relay subprocess and lets the next caller
spawn a fresh one. ~500 ms cost per call (cargo binaries
cached, only relay boot + UDP bind paid).
- `HangInteropTest.@BeforeTest` calls `resetShared()` so each
scenario gets a clean relay; eliminates the per-subscriber-
forward-queue + announce-table state that was accumulating
across the 11 sequential tests in one JVM run.
- hang-listen catalog read per-attempt timeout bumped from
500 ms → 2 s. Under concurrent-test load the wire round-
trip can exceed 500 ms; longer per-attempt budget keeps the
happy path fast (resolves on the first attempt) while
tolerating slow handshakes.
Suite wallclock cost: ~5–6 s added (one fresh relay boot per
scenario), bringing a typical run to ~2:30. Stability gain
is the trade.
Note: full-suite stability isn't reverified in this commit —
running the suite repeatedly under three concurrent agent
worktrees (I7 reconnect, Phase 4 browser, I6 multi-listener)
caused massive resource contention. Will re-verify once the
parallel agents have completed and pushed.
