Conversation
`wait(AckLevel, timeout)` is the only way to observe the OK (server- accepted) watermark from outside the crate: `published_fsn` exposes L1 and `acked_fsn` exposes durable coverage, but the OK level is reachable only through the private `qwp_ws_completed_fsn`. That is a problem for any caller that polls watermarks on the thread that owns the socket and drives progress itself. Such a caller cannot block: a barrier on that thread stalls the very transport it is servicing. It needs to ask "how far has the server accepted?" and act on the answer without waiting, which today is impossible without either blocking or reaching into crate internals. Expose the existing helper as `Sender::completed_fsn(AckLevel)` — the non-blocking counterpart to `wait`, with the same two levels. No new machinery: the OK watermark, its `ok_completed_upper` lower bound against durable completion, and the reject-and-continue advance all already exist. This only makes them observable. `Durable` is documented as equivalent to `acked_fsn`, and the test asserts the two agree at every step so they cannot drift apart. Tests: a poll-only test drives the delayed-durable-ack mock server and asserts the OK watermark covers the frame while the durable watermark is still None -- it fails if the two levels ever collapse onto each other. A negative control asserts a non-QWP/WebSocket sender is rejected by name rather than silently reporting "nothing completed", which would read as a stalled stream rather than a misuse.

Reviewed at 9dbca93. The perf change is correct, and the new regression test genuinely fails on base — base's mem::take leaves dirty_tables at capacity 0, so assert!(capacity >= 1) trips. No blocking issues.
Three inline suggestions below, plus two coverage gaps and two PR-level notes here. Everything was verified by applying it: all suggestions together on top of 9dbca93 give cargo fmt --check clean, no new clippy warnings (the 15 existing ones are all in untouched files), and 7/7 passing on cargo test --features sync-sender-qwp-ws,sync-sender-http --lib -- qwp_ws_cached_size sender_completed_fsn.
Coverage gaps
Both new tests use request_durable_ack=on background mode. Nothing covers the manual handler that completed_fsn explicitly matches, and nothing covers the non-durable config — so a later change to either behaviour breaks no test. Both harnesses already exist in the file. These compile and pass:
/// Without `request_durable_ack=on` there is no durable watermark to report.
/// The poll must refuse `Durable` exactly as `wait` does, rather than handing
/// back the plain-OK watermark to a caller asking about durability.

PR-level
The title and description don't mention the new public API. Title is perf(qwp): retain websocket size-hint scratch and the Summary describes only the size-hint change, but b1d44148 adds pub fn Sender::completed_fsn(AckLevel). Only the auto-generated CodeRabbit block mentions it — anyone reading title + Summary (a reviewer, a release-notes author) would miss a new public Rust API entirely. Either split into two PRs or retitle and describe both.
completed_fsn lands on one surface only. Every sibling watermark accessor exists on five:
| Surface | published_fsn |
acked_fsn |
completed_fsn |

The column-major backend already imports and uses qwp_ws_ok_fsn_background (column_sender/sender.rs:39, :420, :1975), so the capability is there and simply unexposed; C/C++ callers get the blocking wait only. Fine as a first step — just say so in the PR body so it isn't read as an oversight.
Minor
qwp_ws_completed_fsn's _ => arm (sender.rs:786-789) still says "wait is only supported for QWP/WebSocket senders." and is now unreachable from both callers, since each guards the handler variant first. Worth deleting, or making the message name the caller.
completed_fsn takes &self, so unlike wait (sender.rs:704) it can't drain buffered server-rejection notifications into the installed qwp_ws_error_handler (sender.rs:307-323). Terminal errors still surface via check_error(), but a pure poll loop with no intervening flush/drive_once/close won't dispatch retriable rejections, and they can be dropped (cf. sender_errors_dropped_total). One doc sentence pointing at poll_qwp_ws_error would close it.

The mem::take is unnecessary here. Drain borrows only the place self.dirty_tables; everything the loop body touches (self.tables, self.encoded_tables_len, self.symbol_dict_*, self.recomputed_tables) is a disjoint field reached through a direct field path in the same function, so the borrow checker splits them. mem::take is the workaround for a loop body that needs &mut self as a whole — e.g. calling self.mark_dirty(..) — and nothing here does.
drain(..) retains the allocation on its own, which is the entire point of the change. Verified: compiles, and all three size-hint tests pass including the new qwp_ws_cached_size_hint_retains_dirty_index_capacity.

Companion to the suggestion above — both of these go away.
debug_assert!(dirty_tables.is_empty()) is vacuous: drain(..) always empties the vector, including on the continue branch, so it can never fire.
self.dirty_tables = dirty_tables is an unconditional clobber. Today nothing in the loop pushes, but if someone later adds a mark_dirty there, the new indices are silently discarded and the size hint goes permanently stale. Note base was actually safe against that — for table_idx in dirty_tables had no reassignment. Draining in place cannot lose entries, and that same future edit becomes a compile error instead.

Two problems in this block.
1. Durable drops the guardrail wait enforces. wait_inner rejects AckLevel::Durable outright when the sender was not opened with request_durable_ack=on (sender.rs:719-731). This checks only the handler variant, then dispatches to qwp_ws_acked_fsn_background -> runner.acked_fsn(), which outside durable mode advances on plain OK acks. So with ws::addr=127.0.0.1:9000;:
sender.wait(AckLevel::Durable, t)->InvalidApiCallsender.completed_fsn(AckLevel::Durable)->Ok(Some(fsn)), carrying no durability guarantee
The doc says "Prefer this over wait", so a caller migrating a durable barrier to the poll silently loses the misconfiguration check on the exact input wait refuses.
2. The OK-ahead-of-Durable claim is false in manual progress mode. It holds only for SyncQwpWs. SyncQwpWsRunner carries ok_completed_upper: Arc<AtomicU64> (qwp_ws.rs:512) which ok_fsn() maxes against the completed watermark. ManualQwpWsHandlerState (qwp_ws.rs:496-505) has no such field, and the two manual helpers are byte-identical:
pub(crate) fn qwp_ws_acked_fsn_manual(state: &ManualQwpWsHandlerState) -> crate::Result<Option<u64>> {
check_manual_driver_error(state)?;
Ok(state.store.completed_fsn())
}
pub(crate) fn qwp_ws_ok_fsn_manual(state: &ManualQwpWsHandlerState) -> crate::Result<Option<u64>> {
check_manual_driver_error(state)?;
Ok(state.store.completed_fsn())
}(qwp_ws.rs:3989-4001)
request_durable_ack is a real field on the manual state (qwp_ws.rs:501) and is forwarded into qwp_extra_headers (qwp_ws.rs:2677), so ws::...;qwp_ws_progress=manual;request_durable_ack=on; is accepted — and there completed_fsn(Ok) returns the durable watermark. A caller releasing backpressure on Ok stalls until durable ACKs land. The behaviour is pre-existing (wait(Ok) routes through the same helper); the new public doc asserting the opposite is what this PR adds. This is also exactly the mode the doc's own motivation targets ("a thread that owns the socket and drives progress itself").
If you'd rather keep the permissive Durable behaviour, that's defensible — but then say so on the item, because right now the doc reads as if the two calls agree.
| /// In durable-ACK mode the `Ok` watermark advances ahead of `Durable`; | |
| /// outside durable-ACK mode the two coincide. `Ok` never lags `Durable`. | |

Addresses review feedback on #190. `QwpWsSizeHint::len` no longer round-trips `dirty_tables` through `mem::take`. `Drain` borrows only the `self.dirty_tables` place, so the loop body reaches the other fields fine, and `drain(..)` retains the allocation on its own -- which was the entire point of the change. The companion `debug_assert!` was vacuous and the unconditional writeback would have silently discarded indices pushed from inside the loop. `Sender::completed_fsn` now rejects `AckLevel::Durable` on a sender opened without `request_durable_ack=on`, matching `wait`. Previously the poll returned the plain-OK watermark on the exact input `wait` refuses, so a caller following the doc's "prefer this over wait" advice lost the misconfiguration check. Docs: manual progress mode has no separate OK tracker, so both levels report the completed watermark there -- the blanket "Ok advances ahead of Durable" claim only holds for background mode. Also note that a `&self` poll cannot dispatch buffered rejections to the error handler, and point at `poll_qwp_ws_error`. Tests cover the two gaps: the `Durable` rejection without durable ACKs (asserting parity with `wait`), and manual mode reporting one watermark for both levels.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Correct the acked_fsn equivalence claim.
This guard makes completed_fsn(AckLevel::Durable) return InvalidApiCall without request_durable_ack=on. Sender::acked_fsn has no equivalent configuration check. Update the preceding documentation to state that the methods are equivalent only when durable ACKs are enabled. Otherwise, callers can bypass the new durable-poll validation by using acked_fsn.

`drain(..)` retains the allocation on its own, so `mem::take` was unnecessary. The `debug_assert!` was vacuous and the writeback would have silently discarded any index pushed from inside the loop. The test discarded `buf.len()`; it now also checks the hint against a full recompute on every cycle.
The `_` arm covered two impossibilities at once: a non-QWP/WebSocket handler, which both callers already reject, and an unhandled `AckLevel`, which nothing rejected. `AckLevel` is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so a new variant would have silently taken that arm and reported the "wait is only supported" error from a function that is not `wait`. Resolving the handler first and then matching `ack_level` with no wildcard turns a new variant into a compile error, and leaves the fallback message naming the operation it actually guards.
Four claims did not hold. "In durable-ACK mode Ok advances ahead of Durable; outside durable-ACK mode the two coincide" omitted manual progress mode, which has no separate OK tracker and reports the completed watermark for both levels even under `request_durable_ack=on`. "Ok never lags Durable" holds within a call, where `ok_fsn` maxes against the same completed watermark `acked_fsn` returns. It does not hold across two calls, because the background runner can advance the durable watermark in between -- and reading one level per call is the only thing the signature allows. "A blocking barrier would stall the very transport it services" is backwards: in manual progress mode `wait` drives the transport. The reason to poll is to keep doing other work instead of blocking to a boundary. Conversely `completed_fsn` makes no progress at all, so a manual-mode caller has to interleave `drive_once` -- previously stated nowhere, though the tests already relied on it. Taking `&self` also means it cannot dispatch buffered rejections to an installed error handler, unlike `wait`, `flush` and `drive_once`. Points at `qwp_ws_errors_dropped` rather than `poll_qwp_ws_error`, which advances a separate cursor and does not restore handler delivery. Also records that `Durable` is deliberately accepted without `request_durable_ack=on`, matching `acked_fsn`, and that the value is acceptance coverage rather than durability there; and that a watermark past a reject-and-continue frame does not mean those rows landed.
Three cases the existing tests left open. `wait` rejecting a non-QWP/WebSocket sender had no test, while the `completed_fsn` sibling did. That guard keeps the shared `qwp_ws_completed_fsn` fallback unreachable, so it is worth pinning. `Durable` without `request_durable_ack=on` is accepted by the poll and rejected by `wait`. Nothing covered that asymmetry, in either progress mode, so a later change could align them in the wrong direction unnoticed. Manual progress mode reports the completed watermark for both levels. The previous manual-mode coverage used a sender with no durable ACKs, where the two levels coincide in background mode as well, so it held whether or not manual mode had a separate OK tracker. This drives a durable-capable server to acceptance and asserts the levels stay equal at every step, which background mode would fail. Verified by sourcing the manual OK watermark from `published_fsn`: the assertion trips with Some(0) against None.
The ingress guide listed `published_fsn` and `acked_fsn` as the non-blocking polls, which was the complete list before this branch. A reader looking for a non-blocking alternative to `wait` landed on `acked_fsn` and got durable coverage, with no way to discover the server-accepted watermark. `flush_and_get_fsn` pointed at `acked_fsn` alone as the comparison target, and `acked_fsn` mentioned only the blocking barrier. Both now name `completed_fsn`, and `acked_fsn` records that it is the same value as `completed_fsn(AckLevel::Durable)` so the duplication is visible from both sides rather than only from the newer method.
`qwp_ws_errors_dropped` only counts diagnostics already evicted from the bounded log, so pointing a poll-only caller at it names the loss, not the remedy. Handler dispatch runs on `flush`, `flush_and_get_fsn`, `wait`, `drive_once` and `close_drain`; `poll_qwp_ws_error` reads the buffered rejections in between. Say that instead. Drop the "reject-and-continue" sentence: every rejection policy replays or terminalizes, so no watermark advances past a rejected frame without a later ACK. Qualify the `Ok` bullet for manual mode, phrase the ordering guarantee as two reads rather than one call, and stop presenting `acked_fsn` and `completed_fsn` as a durable/acceptance pair, which only holds with `request_durable_ack=on`. The `#[non_exhaustive]` comment named the wrong mechanism: the attribute only affects foreign crates. Removed.
The 200 `drive_once` iterations ran with no sleep, so on a busy box the loop could finish before the mock server woke and wrote its OK. Every iteration then compared `None` with `None` and the assertion held without the server having accepted anything. `total_acks` increments when the OK response is applied, before it is queued behind the durable tracker, so driving until `acks >= 1` proves the acceptance was consumed. Asserting both levels are still `None` at that point is what separates manual mode from background mode, which would report `Ok` covering the frame.
Every terminal-rejection test observed the failure through `wait` and `poll_qwp_ws_error`; nothing checked the watermark accessors. Dropping the terminal check from `ok_fsn` or the manual helpers would leave a poller reading `None` forever and taking a dead sender for a stalled one, which is the case the poll exists to avoid.

Deliberately not changed
- M3
AckLevel::Durableenum doc still says the level "requires"request_durable_ack=on;completed_fsnaccepts it without. Left as is — the permissive poll behaviour is provisional. - m5 Perf claim magnitude: no in-repo production path calls
QwpWsColumnarBuffer::len; the saving is perlen()call, not per row. Body wording corrected; code fine. - m7
restore_snapshot(qwp.rs:2968) replaces theMutexand discards the retained capacity on every rewind. Pre-existing. - m8
ok_fsnread order (completedbeforeok_completed_upper) is what makesOk >= Durablehold; unmarked. Pre-existing. - m9 C header
line_sender_qwpws_acked_fsnlacks the durable-mode caveat present inqwp_sender.h. Pre-existing. - Out of scope:
capture_snapshotdeep-clones every cell, O(cells) perset_markeron a QWP/WS buffer. Worth its own issue.
Downgraded
continue branch in QwpWsSizeHint::len stranding a dirty flag (unreachable: hint tables never exceed buffer tables); -= underflow (totals equal Σ cached entries at every mutation site); completed_fsn absent from C/C++/Python (deliberate, see Scope); race in sender_completed_fsn_polls_ok_ahead_of_durable (durable strictly gated on the channel); Sender: Sync / FFI reach of the &self method (no auto-trait change, not exported).
External note for the relay
questdb/relay polls completed_fsn(AckLevel::Durable) in background mode without request_durable_ack=on. Under the documented contract that value is server-acceptance coverage, equal to AckLevel::Ok at every instant — not durability. If the relay's release_gate = "durable" is meant to be durable, it needs the connect-string setting.

Summary
Two related QWP/WebSocket changes.
1. New public Rust API:
Sender::completed_fsn(AckLevel)(b1d44148)A non-blocking poll for the completion watermark — the polling counterpart to
Sender::wait.AckLevel::Okreports the highest FSN the server has accepted;AckLevel::Durablereports durable-ACK coverage and equalsacked_fsn().Motivation (questdb/relay): with
request_durable_ack=on, blocking onwaitper batch costs too much latency for an MQTT firehose. The relay polls the
watermark instead and releases pending data without blocking the sender.
Contract, as documented on the method:
wait,AckLevel::Durableis accepted withoutrequest_durable_ack=on, matchingacked_fsn(). In that configurationthere is no durable ACK and the value is acceptance coverage.
Okadvances ahead ofDurable; otherwise the two coincide. Manual progress mode has no separateOK tracker, so both levels report the completed watermark.
drive_once) and doesnot dispatch buffered rejections to an error handler;
flush,wait,drive_onceandclose_draindo.2. Perf: retain the size-hint dirty-index allocation (
9dbca939,6410beb8)QwpWsSizeHint::len()drainsdirty_tablesin place instead of taking theVec, so a reusable buffer no longer allocates and frees the index on every
len()call that follows an append. The only in-repo caller isline_sender_buffer_sizeviaBuffer::len; the saving is one smallmalloc/free per size query on a reused buffer.
Follow-ups on this branch
qwp_ws_completed_fsnmatchesAckLevelexhaustively, no wildcard arm(

consumed;
completed_fsnreturns the terminal error on a rejected sender(
b1b4296a,f72e72ed,87c0f40b).Scope
completed_fsnlands on the Rust row-majorSenderonly. The siblingwatermark accessors (
published_fsn,acked_fsn) also exist onBorrowedSender, the column-major sender, and the C and C++ APIs; this is adeliberate first step, not an oversight. The column-major backend already uses
qwp_ws_ok_fsn_backgroundinternally, so extending the surface later ismechanical. C/C++ callers keep the blocking
waitfor now.Validation
