From 3b0b37dcb48aa93387657d7a63b01734b1eddc0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: goodboy Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 12:10:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/37] Add `tractor.to_actor` one-shot task API subpkg First cut at the `to_thread`/`to_process`-style "run it over there" wrapper layer from issue #477: a single-remote-task invocation API decoupled from the `ActorNursery` spawn machinery, composed purely from the lower level daemon-actor + portal primitives, - `to_actor.run(fn, **fn_kwargs)` spawns a subactor via `ActorNursery.start_actor()`, schedules `fn` as its lone task with `Portal.run()` and ALWAYS reaps it via a `finally`-scoped `Portal.cancel_actor()` (whose bounded cancel-req wait is internally shielded so the reap also runs under caller-scope cancellation). - remote errors raise directly in the caller's task as boxed `RemoteActorError`s, moving error collection/propagation up into whatever local `trio` scope encloses the call. - "placement" opts: `portal=` reuses a running actor (no spawn/reap), `an=` spawns from a caller-managed actor-nursery, neither opens a private call-scoped `open_nursery()` (implicitly booting the runtime, tunable via pass-through `runtime_kwargs`). - fail-fast validation BEFORE any spawn: non-streaming async fn only (same constraint as `Portal.run()`), `portal=`/`an=` mutual exclusion and no `runtime_kwargs` alongside a placement opt. Also, - x-ref the successor API from `.run_in_actor()`'s deprecation TODO + docstring; emitting a formal `DeprecationWarning` waits on migrating in-repo usage. - log prompt-io provenance per NLNet policy incl. the driver prompt file.

Check for pending cancellation on the transport-error path before normalizing the close. Genuine stream errors retain their existing translation when no cancellation is active.
