Closes #2932.

Summary

  • Root cause: crate::ffi::Task::cancel only flipped a watch flag. Task holds Arc<Mutex<T>>, so the inner state (and anything it owns) stayed alive until the whole UniFFI object was destroyed. A cancelled-but-still-reachable handle is the normal shape after a task/context cancellation in Python, Swift, Kotlin, and Go, so MoqAudioConsumer / MoqVideoConsumer each pinned a hardware codec session until the foreign GC got around to it. Repeat it and the backend hits its session limit.
  • Task now holds Option<T> and cancel takes it. The take waits for any in-flight run to observe the flag and unwind, so it is not synchronous with the call; it also lands on the runtime thread, which is where the state was built and the only place with a reactor for what it unregisters.
  • Because the take is scheduled rather than synchronous, lock reads the cancel flag under the lock instead of inferring cancellation from the state being None. cancel publishes the flag before it queues for that same lock, so a cancel not seen under the guard cannot have taken the state either. Without this, MoqServer::cert_fingerprints() still answered for a moment after cancel().
  • run and lock map the guard through the Option, so a call that reaches a released state returns Cancelled rather than unwrapping. The Option is what makes running against a released state unrepresentable instead of merely documented.
  • feat(ffi): decode video inside the bindings #2930 had corrected MoqVideoConsumer::cancel's doc to describe the old behavior; that doc (and every other cancel() on the FFI surface) now says the resource is released here rather than when the handle is.
  • Declared the tokio features moq-ffi actually uses (net, rt, sync, time) instead of relying on unification from moq-tokio.

Behavior changes

cancel() was already terminal for reads (run returned Cancelled forever). It is now terminal for the state too, which is observable beyond the media consumers:

  • MoqServer::cancel() closes the listening socket instead of holding the port until the handle is released. cert_fingerprints() errors afterwards.
  • MoqRequest::cancel() drops an unanswered request, which drops the session.
  • MoqClient::cancel() releases the client's config and wired origins, so it can't dial again.
  • Setters guarded by if let Some(state) = task.lock() no-op after cancel, as they already did while a call was in flight.

The Swift and Kotlin wrapper docs already promised cancel() "releases native resources"; this makes that true.

Public API changes

None. Task is pub(crate); no exported UniFFI signature moved, and nothing was added or removed. Only doc comments changed on the exported surface.

Base branch

Targeting dev rather than main despite being a non-breaking fix: MoqVideoConsumer and the doc it corrects only exist on dev (landed in #2930), and rs/moq-ffi has diverged by ~1500 lines across 18 files between the two branches. A main-targeted version would be an incomplete fix for the reported issue.

Cross-Package Sync

  • {py,swift,kt}/ and go/wrapper bindings are generated from moq-ffi at build time (gitignored), so the new docs propagate without an edit.
  • rs/libmoq does not depend on moq-ffi and has its own *_close + terminal-callback lifecycle (doc/lib/c/index.md), which already frees on shutdown. No change.
  • doc/lib/{py,swift,kt,go,c} needed no edit: none of them documented the old "cancel keeps the session" behavior, and the two that mention it already described the new one.

Test plan

Seven regression tests, each verified to fail against the old behavior (by reverting the take, and separately the flag check, and re-running).

In rs/moq-ffi/src/ffi.rs, over a drop-reporting state:

  • the drop happens on cancel when idle, and when a run is parked holding the lock
  • a later run returns Cancelled without calling the closure
  • lock() is empty with no await between it and cancel(), so the answer can't depend on whether the scheduled take has run
  • a double cancel is a no-op

In rs/moq-ffi/src/test.rs, at the FFI surface:

  • cert_fingerprints() errors immediately after MoqServer::cancel()

Suites:

  • just check (clippy, py, kt, swift build + swift test, go vet/build/test -race) - pass
  • just test (73 moq-ffi tests, 52 Python wrapper tests) - pass

(written by Opus 5)

`Task::cancel` only flipped a watch flag, so the inner state stayed alive
behind `Arc<Mutex<T>>` until the whole UniFFI object was destroyed. For
`MoqAudioConsumer` and `MoqVideoConsumer` that state is a decoder, and a
cancelled-but-still-reachable consumer is the normal shape after a task or
context cancellation in Python, Swift, Kotlin, and Go, so each one pinned a
scarce hardware codec session until the foreign GC got around to it.

Hold `Option<T>` and take it on cancel. The take waits for any in-flight
`run` to observe the flag and unwind, so it happens on the runtime rather
than synchronously, which is also where the state was built and the only
place with a reactor for what it unregisters. `run` and `lock` hand out an
`OwnedMappedMutexGuard` through the `Option`, so a call that reaches a
released state is a `Cancelled`, not an unwrap.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change enables additional tokio features and updates Task<T> to support terminal cancellation. Cancellation removes task state asynchronously, cancels active or future operations, and becomes a no-op when repeated. Tests cover idle, in-flight, repeated, and post-cancellation behavior. Documentation now describes immediate resource release across FFI handles. The server busy error includes cancelled state.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5
✅ Passed checks (5 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Linked Issues check ✅ Passed The changes satisfy issue #2932 by releasing state during cancellation, handling in-flight operations, returning Cancelled afterward, and adding regression tests.
Out of Scope Changes check ✅ Passed The code and documentation changes support the shared Task cancellation fix and its documented resource-release behavior; no unrelated changes are evident.
Docstring Coverage ✅ Passed Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.
Title check ✅ Passed The title clearly and concisely states that cancellation now releases retained state, which is the main change.
Description check ✅ Passed The description directly explains the cancellation fix, resource release behavior, API impact, and regression tests.

cancellation has been published; add a regression test that delays cleanup and
verifies lock still rejects access during that interval.

Comment thread rs/moq-ffi/src/consumer.rs Outdated
Comment thread rs/moq-ffi/src/ffi.rs
The take `cancel` schedules is asynchronous, so the state stayed `Some` for
a moment afterwards and `lock` handed out a guard to it. `MoqServer` made
that observable: `cert_fingerprints()` still answered right after `cancel()`,
though the socket was on its way out.

Read the cancel flag under the lock instead of inferring it from the state.
`cancel` publishes the flag before it queues for that same lock, so a cancel
we don't see there cannot have taken the state either.

Also widen `MoqTrackConsumer::cancel`'s doc: it stops `read_frame` and
`recv_datagram` too, not just the group reads.
