From 99dade0fb34b33ca6047f10d65d20cacfdde708e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: goodboy Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:04:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Extract fork primitives into `_main_thread_forkserver` MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Move the truly-generic main-interp-worker-thread fork primitives (`fork_from_worker_thread`, `_close_inherited_fds`, `_ForkedProc`, `wait_child`, `_format_child_exit`) out of `_subint_forkserver.py` into a sibling `_main_thread_forkserver.py` module so the primitive layer is honestly named — none of these helpers touch a subint, they just fork from a main-interp worker thread. `_subint_forkserver.py` keeps its public surface intact via re-export so any existing `from tractor.spawn._subint_forkserver import ...` callsite still resolves. Net: zero behavior change, preps the way for the upcoming spawn-method key split where `main_thread_forkserver` ships as the working backend and `subint_forkserver` becomes reserved for the future subint-isolated-child variant (gated on jcrist/msgspec#1026).
