The final excision of #477: with zero in-repo callers left (all
tests/examples/docs migrated to `to_actor.run()` et al) the
entire legacy one-shot machinery drops out,
- `runtime/_supervise.py`: `ActorNursery.run_in_actor()`, the
`._cancel_after_result_on_exit` portal-set and the
`_reap_ria_portals()` teardown-reaper (both its happy-path
block-exit call AND the error-path snapshot + 0.5s-bounded
collection) are deleted — one-shot result-waiting now lives
entirely in the caller's task via `to_actor.run()`, whose
enclosing cancel-scope bounds the wait by construction (the
correct-scoping fix for the unbounded-reap hang class; the
`d1fb4a1a` guard test now passes structurally).
- `runtime/_portal.py`: `Portal._submit_for_result()`,
`._expect_result_ctx`, `._final_result_msg/_pld`,
`.wait_for_result()` + the deprecated `.result()` alias are
gone — a `Portal` no longer has any "main result" notion.
NB `Context.wait_for_result()` is a different (very alive)
API and is untouched.
- `spawn/_spawn.py`: `exhaust_portal()` +
`cancel_on_completion()` (the reaper tasks) deleted; backend
comment sweeps in `_trio.py`/`_mp.py`.
- `_exceptions.py`: the `NoResult` sentinel dies with its lone
reader.
- `tests/test_ringbuf.py`: drop a daemon-portal `.result()`
call that was already a warn + `NoResult` no-op (the ctx-acm
exit does the real result-wait); unshadow the 2nd `sctx` as
`rctx`.
- comment/docstring x-ref sweeps: `msg/types.py`,
`_context.py`, `to_actor/`, `tests/test_to_actor.py`.
Gate: `test_to_actor test_spawning test_cancellation
test_infected_asyncio test_local test_rpc` = 81 passed,
3 xfailed on `trio`; +`test_ringbuf` = 70 passed, 3 skipped,
3 xfailed on `mp_spawn`.

Step A of the `._ria_nursery` removal (issue #477 follow-up, see
`ai/conc-anal/ria_nursery_removal_plan.md`): `.run_in_actor()`
children now spawn via the default daemon nursery and their
result-reaping moves up into the `ActorNursery` machinery,
- new `_supervise._reap_ria_portals()`: one
`_spawn.cancel_on_completion()` task per ria child, run AFTER
`._join_procs` is set — replacing the per-child reaper task the
backends formerly spawned (keyed off
`._cancel_after_result_on_exit` membership) which required
routing such children into `._ria_nursery`.
- happy path: reap awaited right after `._join_procs.set()`,
preserving "collect ria results before daemon join" sequencing.
- error path: snapshot ria `(portal, subactor)` pairs (backend
`finally`s pop `._children` as procs reap), `await an.cancel()`,
THEN a 0.5s-bounded reap over the snapshot; anything collectable
is already queued in the local ctx and a parked reaper
self-cleans (`trio.Cancelled` results are never stashed). NB: a
concurrent reap+cancel variant deadlocked `test_multierror` and
a 3s bound blew `test_cancel_while_childs_child_in_sync_sleep`'s
deadline — deats in the plan doc's probe history.
- `spawn/_trio.py` + `spawn/_mp.py`: drop the membership branch,
per-child reaper nursery + now-unused `cancel_on_completion`
imports; the join phase is a bare `soft_kill()`.
`._ria_nursery` is now vestigial (zero spawn users): step B
deletes it + `start_actor()`'s `nursery=` escape hatch and merges
the supervisor's two error handlers.

Child monitors register before their IPC handshake so cancellation
owns every started process, but the bare `None` portal arg obscured
that `Portal(chan)` replaces the provisional entry after connection.
Document that transition and name all `_register_child()` args in both
spawn backends. Replace the MP test's positional-only lambda with a
signature-accurate fake which asserts the provisional portal state.

The fresh reap-coordination maps still used legacy `.uid` tuples even
though process monitors and channels carry complete `Aid` identities.
This extended the legacy key format into new private state.
Key both reap maps by `Aid` and derive `.uid` only when accessing the
existing `_children` map. UUID-based `Aid` hashing lets the subactor
and decoded channel identities resolve the same synchronization state.
Update registration tests to exercise the full identity keys.

Give each `ActorNursery` child its own reap request and

bookkeeping removal before returning.
Escalate unacknowledged cancellation with `proc.kill()` after an

Document typed registrar probing, occupied-address rejection, Darwin's

`unlink_uds_bind_addrs()` reconstructs self-assigned socket paths
after a hard kill. An over-budget bindspace can make
`UDSAddress.get_sockname()` raise before the guarded `os.unlink()`,
replacing the original supervision outcome after the child is gone.
Catch and report reconstruction failures, then skip cleanup without
raising. Cover the overflow path and prove no unlink is attempted.

`asyncio` (~5ms) only matters for infected-aio actors yet gets

- `spawn._entry`: fn-local `run_as_asyncio_guest` inside the

`_trio_main()`.
- `tractor/__init__.py`: add a PEP-562 module `__getattr__`

Inside a new new `tractor.spawn._reap` submod which kicks off providing
post-mortem subactor cleanup primitives, parent-side; consider it the
"sibling" of `tractor._testing._reap` which is the test-harness-oriented
brother mod.
Today: `unlink_uds_bind_addrs()` provides a starter bug-fix for #454
where `hard_kill()`'s `SIGKILL` bypasses the subactor's
`_serve_ipc_eps`-`finally:` `os.unlink(addr.sockpath)`, leaking
`${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/tractor/<name>@<pid>.sock` files..
This adds 2 cleanup paths:
- explicit `bind_addrs` (when set at spawn time),
OR
- convention-based reconstruction from `subactor.aid.name + proc.pid`
for the random-self-assign case.
`.spawn.hard_kill()` now invokes the cleanup unconditionally
post-`SIGKILL`; graceful-exit case is a no-op via `FileNotFoundError`
skip.
Future work — authoritative tracking via a per-process
UDS bind-addr registry — documented in module docstring,
deferred to a follow-up PR.
Co-fix: `tractor/spawn/_trio.py::new_proc` already passes
`bind_addrs` + `subactor` to `hard_kill` via prior work
on this branch.

(cherry picked from commit e9712dcaeb)
During the Phase A extraction of `trio_proc()` out of
`spawn._spawn` into its own submod, the
`debug.maybe_wait_for_debugger(child_in_debug=...)` call site in
the hard-reap `finally` got refactored from the original
`_runtime_vars.get('_debug_mode', ...)` (the fn parameter — the
dict that was constructed by the *parent* for the *child*'s
`SpawnSpec`) to `get_runtime_vars().get(...)` (a global getter that
returns the *parent's* live `_state`). Those are semantically
different — the first asks "is the child we just spawned in debug
mode?", the second asks "are *we* in debug mode?". Under
mixed-debug-mode trees the swap can incorrectly skip (or
unnecessarily delay) the debugger-lock wait during teardown.
Revert to the fn-parameter lookup and add an inline `NOTE` comment
calling out the distinction so it's harder to regress again.
Deats,
- `spawn/_trio.py`: `child_in_debug=get_runtime_vars().get(...)` →
`child_in_debug=_runtime_vars.get(...)` at the
`debug.maybe_wait_for_debugger(...)` call in the hard-reap block;
add 4-line `NOTE` explaining the parent-vs-child distinction.
- `spawn/__init__.py`: drop trailing whitespace after the
`'mp_forkserver'` docstring bullet.
- `ai/prompt-io/prompts/subints_spawner.md`: drop duplicated `with`
in `"as with with subprocs"` prose (copilot grammar catch).

Split the monolithic `spawn._spawn` into a slim
"core" + per-backend submodules so a future
`._subint` backend (per issue #379) can drop in
without piling more onto `_spawn.py`.
`._spawn` retains the cross-backend supervisor
machinery: `SpawnMethodKey`, `_methods` registry,
`_spawn_method`/`_ctx` state, `try_set_start_method()`,
the `new_proc()` dispatcher, and the shared helpers
`exhaust_portal()`, `cancel_on_completion()`,
`hard_kill()`, `soft_kill()`, `proc_waiter()`.
Deats,
- mv `trio_proc()` → new `spawn._trio`
- mv `mp_proc()` → new `spawn._mp`, reads `_ctx` and
`_spawn_method` via `from . import _spawn` for
late binding bc both get mutated by
`try_set_start_method()`
- `_methods` wires up the new submods via late
bottom-of-module imports to side-step circular
dep (both backend mods pull shared helpers from
`._spawn`)
- prune now-unused imports from `_spawn.py` — `sys`,
`is_root_process`, `current_actor`,
`is_main_process`, `_mp_main`, `ActorFailure`,
`pretty_struct`, `_pformat`
Also,
- `_testing.pytest.pytest_generate_tests()` now
drives the valid-backend set from
`typing.get_args(SpawnMethodKey)` so adding a
new backend (e.g. `'subint'`) doesn't require
touching the harness
- refresh `spawn/__init__.py` docstring for the
new layout

Clean up mutable defaults, give parent-main bootstrap data a named type, and add direct start_actor coverage so the opt-out change is clearer to review.
Use `inherit_parent_main` across the actor APIs and helper to better describe the behavior, and restore the reviewer note at child bootstrap where the inherited `__main__` data is copied from `SpawnSpec`.
Keep actor-owned parent-main capture and let `_mp_figure_out_main()` decide whether to return `__main__` bootstrap data, avoiding the extra SpawnSpec plumbing while preserving the per-actor flag.
Keep trio child bootstrap data in the spawn handshake instead of stashing it on Actor state so the replay opt-out stays explicit and avoids stale-looking runtime fields.
Restructure the flat `tractor/` top-level private mods
into (more nested) subpackages:
- `runtime/`: `_runtime`, `_portal`, `_rpc`, `_state`,
`_supervise`
- `spawn/`: `_spawn`, `_entry`, `_forkserver_override`,
`_mp_fixup_main`
- `discovery/`: `_addr`, `_discovery`, `_multiaddr`
Each subpkg `__init__.py` is kept lazy (no eager
imports) to avoid circular import issues.
Also,
- update all intra-pkg imports across ~35 mods to use
the new subpkg paths (e.g. `from .runtime._state`
instead of `from ._state`)
