When an EOS or error is posted from a streaming/background thread, another thread can transition the element through PAUSED -> READY -> PAUSED after this identity check releases control but before post_message executes. The message from the stopped session is then delivered to the replacement session, defeating the session scoping this code introduces and potentially terminating the new run. The validation and dispatch need coordination that preserves reentrant bus handlers without leaving this check-to-post race.

Expose `status` and `track-error` on each request pad so applications can
observe pending, active, ended and failed tracks without parsing logs. Declare
the pad GType in the template so gst-inspect and GstChildProxy expose those
properties together with the existing explicit track name.
A request pad was represented in three independent places: the GstPad object,
a name-keyed entry in the element state, and a separate ended set. Keeping them
aligned across CAPS, EOS, release, session replacement and reentrant GObject
callbacks required generations and several delayed-result paths. A missed
update could lose a producer, let a released pad delay element EOS, or apply an
old result to a replacement pad.
Move the complete per-pad publication lifecycle into MoqSinkPad, protected by
one mutex. It now owns the producer, timeline state, requested and effective
track names, status, error, EOS state, release state and current session-error
link. GStreamer's sink pad list remains the authority for membership; the
element no longer maintains a parallel pad map or indexes lifecycle state by
name.
Keep the element Control limited to state shared by one publishing run:
session, broadcast, catalog, EOS publication and admissions in progress. The
lock order is now explicit and uniform:
GStreamer stream lock
element Control
pad lifecycle
GObject object lock
No path acquires Control while holding a pad lifecycle lock. Property
notifications and bus messages are emitted only after releasing lifecycle
locks, since both can synchronously call application code.
Admission is explicit because add_pad emits pad-added synchronously. Element
EOS remains deferred while an admission is open, so callbacks can negotiate,
push and finish the new pad before request_new_pad returns. Once the pad is a
member, confirmation binds it to the currently live session rather than
retaining a snapshot taken before add_pad. CAPS and SEGMENT refresh the same
binding during pad-added callbacks. This also clears a stale session link when
a run ended during admission.
Release follows the GStreamer request-pad contract: deactivate the pad first
to stop and flush streaming work, finalize its producer, reset its lifecycle,
remove it from the element and notify the resulting property changes.
Releasing an already detached pad is idempotent and does not ask GStreamer to
remove it twice.
Element EOS now derives membership from sink_pads() and finalizes each pad
under that pad's lifecycle lock. Finalization results are collected while the
state is protected, then status notifications and the final bus message are
published after all locks are released. A clean producer becomes ended, a
failed finalization becomes error, and one pad's failure does not hide the
outcome of the others.
Make pad failure terminal for the current run. Unsupported CAPS now invalidate
and finalize an existing producer instead of changing only the public status
while stale media continued to publish. A later CAPS event cannot reactivate
the failed pad; release or a new run performs the reset.
Set the fatal session flag before notifying status observers, closing the
window where the element reported Failed while streaming threads could still
feed the dead session.
Cover the lifecycle boundaries with tests for synchronous pad-added activity,
admission versus aggregate EOS, repeated release, partial finalization,
STREAM_START recovery, run replacement, stale session-link replacement and
clearing, and terminal unsupported CAPS.
The buffer path still copies GstBuffer contents before moq-net can reject an
oversized frame. Avoiding that allocation requires a reliable media-aware size
heuristic, so this commit documents the boundary without introducing an
arbitrary limit.
Attaching deferred EOS/error bus messages to a publishing-run generation
remains a separate change. This commit confines itself to per-pad ownership,
membership, admission and teardown.
Finalization releases its locks before notifying pads and posting to the bus: post_message runs the bus sync handlers on the calling thread, and a handler reading `status` or `track-error` would take a pad settings lock the EOS path still holds. Separating the post from the finalize pass closes that deadlock, but it opens a window: the same application code can move the element to READY and start another session before the deferred message is posted, so a stopped run reported EOS or an error into its replacement. Give each publishing session an opaque identity and carry it with every deferred message. EOS, a finalize failure, and a terminal reconnect error are posted only while the session that produced them is still current. The reconnect task routes its error through the same gate instead of posting directly. Pad registration generation does not cover this: session identity and pad membership have different owners and failure modes.

Stacked on the data-tracks PR. Until that one merges this branch also carries its commit; GitHub narrows the diff here to its own two commits once the base lands. Two commits, separable on purpose: the lifecycle consolidation, then the message scoping on top of it.
Observability
Each request pad exposes
status(pending,active,ended,error) andtrack-error.activemeans CAPS created a producer and the broadcast registered the track, not merely that the pad exists. A pad still waiting for CAPS ispendingwith no error, because nothing has failed yet.erroris terminal: it survives EOS and clears on release or on returning toREADY. Both properties emitnotify, so an application connects tonotify::statusrather than polling. The pad GType is declared in the template, sogst-inspectandGstChildProxyshow them next to the existingtrack.Why the lifecycle moved
A request pad was represented in three independent places: the
GstPadobject, a name-keyed entry in the element state, and a separate ended set. Keeping them aligned across CAPS, EOS, release, session replacement and reentrant GObject callbacks required generations and several delayed-result paths, and a missed update could lose a producer, let a released pad delay element EOS, or apply an old result to a replacement pad. The complete per-pad lifecycle now lives inMoqSinkPadunder one mutex: producer, timeline state, requested and effective names, status, error, EOS state, release state and the current session-error link. GStreamer's sink pad list is the only membership authority; there is no parallel pad map to keep synchronised.The media path returns its outcome directly instead of leaving state for another layer to retrieve. That removes the failure mailbox, its
take_failure(), and the boolean side channel used to report the first missing TIME segment, so an error raised while finalizing a failed producer can no longer overwrite the error that caused the finalization.Two behaviour fixes ride along. A failed pad now finalizes its existing producer rather than only changing the public status while stale media kept publishing, and a later CAPS event cannot reactivate it. The fatal session flag is set before notifying status observers, closing the window where the element reported
Failedwhile streaming threads could still feed the dead session.Terminal messages were leaking across sessions
Finalization releases its locks before notifying pads and posting to the bus, because
post_messageruns the bus sync handlers on the calling thread and a handler readingstatusortrack-errorwould take a pad settings lock the EOS path still holds. That closes a self-deadlock but opens a window: the same application code can move the element toREADYand start another session before the deferred message is posted, so a stopped run reported EOS or an error into its replacement. Each publishing session now carries an opaque identity, and every deferred message carries it too. EOS, a finalize failure and a terminal reconnect error are posted only while the session that produced them is still current; the reconnect task routes its error through the same gate instead of posting directly. Pad membership does not cover this: session identity and pad registration have different owners and failure modes.Known limitation
The buffer path still copies the
GstBuffercontents beforemoq-netcan reject an oversized frame. Avoiding that allocation needs a reliable media-aware size heuristic, so the boundary is documented rather than capped with an arbitrary limit.Public API changes
None reachable. The new types are
pubinside private modules andlib.rsre-exports onlyConnectionStatus. The added surface is the two GObject properties on the pad.Test plan
just checkandjust test. New coverage groups: status transitions and their notifications, including that each move is announced once and the reset on stop; failure isolation, where an unnamed opaque pad, a duplicate track name and a rejected write each move only their own pad toerrorwith a reason; aggregation, where EOS ends a pad only once every pad has ended and a restarted pad stops counting as ended; GObject reentrancy frompad-addedand fromnotify, covering a pad negotiated, ended, released or re-requested inside the callback; release semantics, leaving the pad inactive, detached and reset without holding back element EOS; run replacement, where a retained pad publishes again in the next run and a finalized run refuses new pads until it restarts; and message scoping, where a bus sync handler reads the settled status on EOS without deadlocking, and a stopped session's EOS and errors do not reach its replacement while the current session's error does.Cross-package sync
