We may get multiple re-entries to debugger by `bp_forever` sub-actor
now since the root will incrementally try to cancel it only when the tty
lock is not held.
Finally this makes a cancelled root actor nursery not clobber child
tasks which request and lock the root's tty for the debugger repl.
Using an edge triggered event which is set after all fifo-lock-queued
tasks are complete, we can be sure that no lingering child tasks are
going to get interrupted during pdb use and tty lock acquisition.
Further, even if new tasks do queue up to get the lock, the root will
incrementally send cancel msgs to each sub-actor only once the tty is
not locked by a (set of) child request task(s). Add shielding around all
the critical sections where the child attempts to allocate the lock from
the root such that it won't be disrupted from cancel messages from the
root after the acquire lock transaction has started.
If the root calls `trio.Process.kill()` on immediate child proc teardown
when the child is using pdb, we can get stdstreams clobbering that
results in a pdb++ repl where the user can't see what's been typed. Not
killing such children on cancellation / error seems to resolve this
issue whilst still giving reliable termination. For now, code that
special path until a time it becomes a problem for ensuring zombie
reaps.
A context is the natural fit (vs. a receive stream) for locking the root
proc's tty usage via it's `.started()` sync point. Simplify the
`_breakpoin()` routine to be a simple async func instead of all this
"returning a coroutine" stuff from before we decided that
`tractor.breakpoint()` must be async. Use `runtime` level for locking
logging making it easier to trace.
Since we currently have no real "discovery protocol" between process
trees, the current naive approach is to check via a connect and drop to
see if a TCP server is bound to a particular address during root actor
startup. This was a historical decision and had no real grounding beyond
taking a simple approach to get something working when the project
was first started.
This is obviously problematic from an error handling perspective since
we need to be able to avoid such quick connect-and-drops from cancelling
an "arbiter"'s (registry actor's) channel-msg loop machinery (which
would propagate and cancel the actor).
For now we map this particular TCP error, which gets remapped by `trio`
as a `trio.BrokenResourceError` to our own internal `TransportClosed`
which is swallowed by channel message loop processing and indicates
a graceful teardown of the far end actor.
This change some super old (and bad) code from the project's very early
days. For some redic reason i must have thought masking `trio`'s
internal stream / transport errors and a TCP EOF as `StopAsyncIteration`
somehow a good idea. The reality is you probably
want to know the difference between an unexpected transport error
and a simple EOF lol. This begins to resolve that by adding our own
special `TransportClosed` error to signal the "graceful" termination of
a channel's underlying transport. Oh, and this builds on the `msgspec`
integration which helped shed light on the core issues here B)
