**[tickets:#3397] MDS: Explicit subscription replay uses wrong state/version
after implicit subscribe**
**Status:** review
**Milestone:** 5.27.01
**Created:** Mon Apr 13, 2026 08:31 AM UTC by Thien Minh Huynh
**Last Updated:** Fri Apr 17, 2026 06:03 AM UTC
**Owner:** Thien Minh Huynh
Steps to reproduce
------------------
1. Start an MDS test setup with an ADEST subscriber and a VDEST providing
NCSMDS_SVC_ID_INTERNAL_MIN.
2. Create an implicit subscription by sending a message from
NCSMDS_SVC_ID_EXTERNAL_MIN to NCSMDS_SVC_ID_INTERNAL_MIN on the active VDEST.
3. Convert that existing implicit subscription into an explicit subscription
using mds_service_subscribe().
4. Retrieve the replayed service event with mds_service_retrieve().
5. Verify the replayed event/version.
6. Variant A: leave the VDEST active and expect an NCSMDS_UP replay with the
current active version.
7. Variant B: demote the active VDEST to standby first, let await-active run,
then expect an NCSMDS_NO_ACTIVE replay with the last active version.
Observed behaviour
------------------
When an implicit subscription is converted to an explicit subscription, the
replayed service event does not reliably reflect the correct state/version of
the remote service.
There are two incorrect replay scenarios:
- the explicit replay may fail to return the current active UP version
- the explicit replay may fail to return the last-active NO_ACTIVE version
during await-active
Expected behaviour
------------------
Converting an implicit subscription to an explicit subscription should replay
the correct current service state:
- if the remote service is active, replay NCSMDS_UP with the current active
version
- if the active instance has gone away and await-active is running, replay
NCSMDS_NO_ACTIVE with the last active version
