The Darwin-only debugger skip in `49fc92b0` passed the raw
`CI=true` env string to `skipif`, so `pytest` evaluated `true`
as Python source and failed at setup instead of skipping the
issue #320 node.
Cast `_ci_env` through `bool()` so the marker always receives
a boolean while retaining Linux coverage.

Both Darwin transports still hit the nested-debugger race tracked by
one actor-specific traceback record. Linux TCP and UDS remain stable.
Keep the full nested crash-REPL assertions on Linux and skip only this
known-racy node when macOS runs under CI.

before hard-reap can print its T-800 marker. Pexpect also replaces
`child.before` at every prompt, hiding earlier nested tracebacks from
the final assertion.
Deats,
- assert cancel-timeout escalation through `proc.kill()`
- prove context-break teardown with EOF and a dead child process
- accumulate nested debugger output across every prompt boundary

The `@context` debugger E2E intentionally closes its channel.
Teardown can surface from either local error shipment or the peer
receive task.
The RPC response fix makes local close win under CI, while the test
required both scheduler-dependent diagnostics.
Keep the common debugger and cancellation assertions, then accept
either transport-close report. This preserves real actor-tree
teardown coverage without depending on task scheduling order.

Mass `trio` deadline-miss failures on byte-identical code turned
out to be a firmware/EC power-cap (AMD PPT/STAPM) clamping the
all-core sustained clock while every static knob (`governor`,
`scaling_max_freq`, EPP, platform-profile) still read "performance"
— invisible to the existing `cpu_scaling_factor()` check. See
`scripts/cpu-perf-check` + the
`ai/conc-anal/trio_033_cancel_cascade_slowdown_depth3_issue.md`
notes.
Deats,
- add `_measure_sustained_headroom()` to `tests/conftest.py`: a
one-shot ~0.9s all-core burn (explicit `fork`-ctx `mp` procs)
sampling achieved-vs-max freq AFTER the boost window; under a 0.6
gate it returns the full inverse fraction (capped 4x), else 1.0;
best-effort 1.0 on non-linux or any error,
- add `cpu_perf_headroom()`: `max()` of the static scaling factor
and the (session-cached) sustained probe,
- inflate deadline budgets by it in `test_dynamic_pub_sub`, both
`test_clustering` cases, the
`test_multi_nested_subactors_error_through_nurseries` pexpect
waits + `test_nested_multierrors`,
- `xfail(strict=False)` `test_nested_multierrors` depth=3 under
throttle: the deep tree trips tractor's INTERNAL reap deadlines
(`soft_kill`/`hard_kill` `terminate_after=1.6`) minting a
`Cancelled` inside the runtime — not fixable by test-budget
inflation; auto-clears once the box un-throttles.

Two version-compat fixes for the `devx` debugger
test-suite, both about matching upstream output that
got more verbose w/ recent lib releases.
ANSI stripping (`tests/devx/conftest.py`),
- Add `ansi_strip(text)` helper + `_ansi_re` pattern
(regex per https://stackoverflow.com/a/14693789).
- Apply inside `in_prompt_msg()` + `assert_before()` so
substring matches against REPL/traceback output stay
robust to color leakage.
- Motivated by py3.13's colored tracebacks +
`pdbp`/pygments highlighting leaking ANSI even when
`PYTHON_COLORS=0` is set in the `spawn` fixture (not
every renderer in the spawned subproc honors it).
- Replaces the longstanding inline TODO that linked
the SO answer w/o impl'ing.
trio 0.30+ `Cancelled._create(` match (`test_debugger`),
- In `test_shield_pause` swap the two
`"raise Cancelled._create()"` assertion patterns →
`"raise Cancelled._create("` (open-paren form, no
closing).
- trio >=0.30 raises a multi-line
`raise Cancelled._create(source=.., reason=..,
source_task=..)` w/ cancel-reason metadata, so the
legacy bare-`()` form no longer matches. Inline
comment documents the trio-version pivot.

Use `is_forking_spawner` fixture + gate spawner-
specific expect patterns in nested-error and daemon
tests. Add `set_fork_aware_capture` to multi-sub
tests that need capture-mode awareness.
Deats,
- replace `start_method` param with `is_forking_spawner` bool fixture.
- bump inter-send delay to 0.1s for IPC stability under fork backends.
- gate `bdb.BdbQuit` + relay-uid patterns behind `not
is_forking_spawner` (not visible under capsys).
- add `expect(child, EOF)` to confirm clean exit.
- switch caught exc from `AssertionError` to `ValueError` in daemon
test.

(cherry picked from commit 9031605807)
Pass explicit `loglevel` to `spawn()` calls in
`test_debugger` tests — required for pexpect
pattern matching now that examples no longer
hard-code log levels.
Also,
- make `expect()` return the decoded `before` str.
- add `start_method` param + fork-backend timeout
slack (+4s) in nested-error test.
- clean up debug examples: drop unused loglevels,
rename `n` -> `an`, fix docstrings, add TODO
comments for tpt parametrize via osenv.

In `pyproject.toml`,
- include the `sync_pause` group from `dev`, so dev
installs ship `greenback` for `pause_from_sync()`.
Comment out per-test `@pytest.mark.timeout(...)`
markers in,
- `tests/devx/test_debugger.py`
- `tests/discovery/test_registrar.py`
- `tests/spawn/test_main_thread_forkserver.py`
- `tests/spawn/test_subint_cancellation.py`
- `tests/test_advanced_streaming.py`
- `tests/test_cancellation.py`
The global cap was already dropped (3c366cac); these
were the leftover per-test caps which now block
interactive `pdb` flows under the new spawn backends.
In `uv.lock`,
- pull `greenback` into the resolved `dev` deps
(per the `sync_pause` include above).
- catch up the prior `xonsh` editable→PyPI switch
(from the `pyproject.toml` `tool.uv.sources` edit).

(factored: dropped spawn-backend-only paths under tests/spawn/)
Retry signal delivery in `sig_prog()` up to `tries`
times (default 3) w/ `canc_timeout` sleep between
attempts; only fall back to `_KILL_SIGNAL` after all
retries exhaust. Bump default timeout 0.1 -> 0.2.
Also,
- `test_multi_nested_subactors_error_through_nurseries`
gives the first prompt iteration a 5s timeout even
on linux bc the initial crash sequence can be slow
to arrive at a `pdb` prompt

Via ensuring `all(mark.args)` on wtv expressions are arg-passed to the
mark decorator; use it to skip the `test_subactor_breakpoint` suite when
`ctlc=True` since it seems too unreliable in CI.
Namely, after trying to get `test_multi_daemon_subactors` to work for
the `ctlc=True` case (for way too long), give up on that (see
todo/comments) and skip it; the normal case works just fine. Also tweak
the `test_ctxep_pauses_n_maybe_ipc_breaks` pattern matching for
non-`'UDS'` per the previous script commit; we can't use UDS alongside
`pytest`'s tmp dir generation, mega lulz.
Refine tpt-error reporting to include closure attribution (`'locally'`
vs `'by peer'`), tighten match conditions and reduce needless newlines
in exc reprs.
Deats,
- factor out `trans_err_msg: str` and `by_whom: str` into a `dict`
lookup before the `match:` block to pair specific err msgs to closure
attribution strings.
- use `by_whom` directly as `CRE` case guard condition
(truthy when msg matches known underlying CRE msg content).
- conveniently include `by_whom!r` in `TransportClosed` message.
- fix `'locally ?'` -> `'locally?'` in send-side `CRE`
handler (drop errant space).
- add masked `maybe_pause_bp()` calls at both `CRE` sites (from when
i was tracing a test harness issue where the UDS socket path wasn't
being cleaned up on teardown).
- drop trailing `\n` from `body=` args to `TransportClosed`.
- reuse `trans_err_msg` for the `BRE`/broken-pipe guard.
Also adjust testing, namely `test_ctxep_pauses_n_maybe_ipc_breaks`'s
expected patts-set for new msg formats to be raised out of
`.ipc._transport`.

Such that we audit the `shield=root_tn.cancel_scope.cancel_called,`
passed to `await debug._maybe_enter_pm()` in the `open_root_actor()`
exit handler block.
It's been in the debug scripts quite a while without a wrapping test and
will be,
- only the 2nd such REPL test which uses a lower-level `@context` ep-API
- the first official and explicit use of `enable_transports=['uds']`
a suite.
Deats,
- flip to 'uds' tpt and 'devx' level logging in the script.
- add a new 2-case suite `test_ctxep_pauses_n_maybe_ipc_breaks` which
validates both the quit-early (via `BdbQuit`) and
channel-dropped-need-to-ctlc cases from a single test fn.
Including changes like,
- loose eg flagging in various test emedded `trio.open_nursery()`s.
- changes to eg handling (like using `except*`).
- added `debug_mode` integration to tests that needed some REPLin
in order to figure out appropriate updates.
It appears that during the reorg commit
a356233b47 this was intended to be moved
(presumably where i have here) to `test_tooling` but was somehow just
never pasted over XD
Good thing this was caught while going through the remaining TODO
bullets in #2 !!
Also includes fixed relative `.conftest` imports!
Ensuring we can at least use `breakpoint()` from an infected actor's
`asyncio.Task` spawned via a `.to_asyncio` API.
Also includes a little `tests/devx/` reorging,
- start splitting out non-`tractor.pause()` tests into a new
`test_pause_from_non_trio.py` for all the `.pause_from_sync()`
use in bg-threaded or `asyncio` applications.
- factor harness commonalities to the `devx/conftest` (namely
the `do_ctlc()` masher).
- mv `test_pause_from_sync` to the new non`-trio` mod.
NOTE, the `ctlc=True` is still failing for
`test_pause_from_asyncio_task` which is a user-happiness bug but not
anything fundamentally broken - just need to handle the `asyncio` case
in `.devx._debug.sigint_shield()`!
It was expecting `AssertionError` as a proceed-in-test signal (by
breaking from a continue loop), but `in_prompt_msg(raise_on_err=True)`
was changed to raise `ValueError`; so instead just use as a predicate
for the `break`.
Also rework `in_prompt_msg()` to accept the `child: BaseSpawn` as input
instead of `before: str` remove the casting boilerplate, and adjust all
usage to match.
By re-purposing our `pexpect`-based console matching with a new
`debugging/shield_hang_in_sub.py` example, this tests a few "hanging
actor" conditions more formally:
- that despite a hanging actor's task we can dump
a `stackscope.extract()` tree on relay of `SIGUSR1`.
- the actor tree will terminate despite a shielded forever-sleep by our
"T-800" zombie reaper machinery activating and hard killing the
underlying subprocess.
Some test deats:
- simulates the expect actions of a real user by manually using
`os.kill()` to send both signals to the actor-tree program.
- `pexpect`-matches against `log.devx()` emissions under normal
`debug_mode == True` usage.
- ensure we get the actual "T-800 deployed" `log.error()` msg and
that the actor tree eventually terminates!
Surrounding (re-org/impl/test-suite) changes:
- allow disabling usage via a `maybe_enable_greenback: bool` to
`open_root_actor()` but enable by def.
- pretty up the actual `.devx()` content from `.devx._stackscope`
including be extra pedantic about the conc-primitives for each signal
event.
- try to avoid double handles of `SIGUSR1` even though it seems the
original (what i thought was a) problem was actually just double
logging in the handler..
|_ avoid double applying the handler func via `signal.signal()`,
|_ use a global to avoid double handle func calls and,
|_ a `threading.RLock` around handling.
- move common fixtures and helper routines from `test_debugger` to
`tests/devx/conftest.py` and import them for use in both test mods.
