Only flag `tractor._child` procs as cross-test ghosts of
THIS run if `ppid==1` (init-adopted real leak) or `ppid`
is in the walk's `seen` set (descendant we missed via
race).
Previously, procs whose `ppid` points to some OTHER live non-`pytest`
(in the use of `acli.ptree pytest`) process belong to a different
tractor app (`piker`, another `pytest` shell, a long-running tractor
daemon) and were being falsely flagged as cross-test ghosts.
Deats,
- post-cmdline-match check via `_ppid_from_proc(pid)`,
short-circuit on `None` (proc died in-flight).
- expand module docstring to spell out the ownership
filter rule + its rationale.

Post-yield now also reaps init-adopted (`ppid==1`) tractor procs
that appeared during the test — leaked subactors whose mid-tier
parent died during cascade teardown, reparenting them to init.
Pre-yield snapshot of existing orphans scopes reap to THIS test's
leaks only, avoiding reap of unrelated tractor uses (piker, etc.)
on the box.

(factored: also default `find_orphans(repo_root=None)` -> cwd so the new bare call sites work ahead of the later intrinsic-identity rewrite)
`reap(include_descendants=True)` now expands each orphan-root pid
into its full psutil subtree before delivering SIGINT, so a
multi-level leaked actor-tree gets torn down in a single pass
instead of requiring repeated calls (each pass kills the current
`ppid==1` level, the level below becomes init-adopted, etc.).
Falls back to the original flat `pids` list when `psutil` is
unavailable. Emits a log line when expansion adds descendant pids.

Deats,
- `_find_tractor_strays()`: scan `/proc/*/cmdline` for
`tractor._child` procs NOT in the walk's `seen` set — surfaces
ghost subactor trees from prior test runs (cross-test launchpad
contamination).
- `dump_proc_tree(include_strays=True)`: refactor classification
into `_classify_walk()` closure, walk stray roots as additional
trees, emit stray-root summary in header. Also: `tractor._child`
procs reparented to init are now always classified as orphans
regardless of cgroup-slice (leaked subactor ≠ desktop-launched
app).
- `_do_capture_snapshot()`: use `sys.__stderr__` to bypass pytest
`--capture=sys` redirection so snapshot paths always land on the
real terminal
- `fail_after_w_trace()`: capture diag snapshot on
non-`TooSlowError` exceptions when the `fail_after` scope's
cancel had already fired (e.g. nursery wraps `Cancelled` into a
`BaseExceptionGroup` that escapes before `TooSlowError` can be

`tractor/_testing/trace.py` module so the same logic is callable
from both the `acli.*` terminal aliases AND in-test capture-on-hang

Refactor `pytest_load_initial_conftests()` to split

Intentionally does NOT kill the runaway — emits
a loud warning with diag commands (`strace`,

`timeout = 200` was firing via SIGALRM (the default
`method='signal'`) which synchronously raises `Failed` in
trio's main thread mid-`epoll.poll()`, abandoning trio's
runner mid-flight and leaving `GLOBAL_RUN_CONTEXT` half-
installed. EVERY subsequent `trio.run()` in the same pytest
session then bails with
`RuntimeError: Attempted to call run() from inside a run()`.
Empirical impact: a session that hits a single 200s hang
cascades into 30-40 false-positive failures across every
downstream test file that uses `trio.run`. Recent UDS run
saw 1 real timeout (`test_unregistered_err_still_relayed`)
poison 38 sibling tests with cascade-fails — a debugging
nightmare.
Same architectural bug we already documented in
`tests/test_advanced_streaming.py::test_dynamic_pub_sub`
(see its module-level NOTE) — both `pytest-timeout`
enforcement modes are incompatible with trio under fork-
based spawn backends. Now scoped session-wide.
For tests that legitimately need a wall-clock cap, the
canonical pattern is `with trio.fail_after(N):` INSIDE the
test — trio's own `Cancelled` machinery cleanly unwinds
the actor nursery without disturbing global state.
For CI: rely on job-level wall-clock timeouts (e.g. GitHub
Actions `timeout-minutes`) to abort genuinely-stuck suites.
`pyproject.toml` comment block spells this all out so a
future contributor doesn't reach back for `timeout =` and
re-introduce the bug.
ALSO, bump `xonsh` to at least `0.23.0` release.

(factored: the xonsh pin/editable-source hunks already landed with the devenv segment)
Function-scoped, NON-autouse zombie-subactor reaper for
modules whose teardown is known-leaky enough to cascade-
fail every following test in a session.
Sibling to the autouse session-scoped `_reap_orphaned_subactors`. The
session-scoped one fires at session end — too late to save tests that
follow a hung/leaky test in the suite. The new fixture, opted into via
`pytestmark = pytest.mark.usefixtures(...)`, runs between tests in
a problem-module so a leftover subactor from test N can't squat on
registrar ports / UDS paths / shm segments needed by tests N+1,
N+2, ...
Intentionally NOT autouse — the fixture's presence on a module signals
"this module's teardown leaks; please root-cause instead of relying
forever on cleanup". A visibility-vs-convenience trade picked in favor
of the former.
Apply to `tests/test_infected_asyncio.py` since both recent full-suite
runs (parallel-tpt-proto + TCP-only) showed the cascade originating in
this file's KBI- and SIGINT-flavored tests under
`main_thread_forkserver`. Module-comment names the specific offenders so
future de-flake work has a starting point.

Previously the random port was a default-arg expression
(`_rando_port: str = random.randint(1000, 9999)`) — evaluated
ONCE at module import time, making it a per-process singleton.
Two parallel pytest sessions had a 1/9000 birthday-pair chance
of picking the same port; when it hit, every `reg_addr`-using
test in BOTH runs would cascade-fail with "Address already in
use".
Switch to per-call `random.randint()` salted with `os.getpid()`
so:
- within one session: two calls return distinct ports — e.g.
`test_tpt_bind_addrs::bind-subset-reg` now actually gets two
different reg addrs on the TCP backend (it was silently
duplicating before),
- across parallel sessions: pid salt biases each process's
port choices apart, making cross-run collisions
vanishingly rare.
Drop the bogus `: str` annotation (was always `int`). UDS already gets
per-process isolation via `UDSAddress.get_random()`'s `@<pid>`
socket-path suffix, so no change needed there.

Since `tractor.ipc._mp_bs.disable_mantracker()` turns off
`mp.resource_tracker` entirely (see the conc-anal doc
`subint_forkserver_mp_shared_memory_issue.md`), a
hard-crashing actor can leave `/dev/shm/<key>` segments
that nothing else GCs. New `tractor-reap` phase 2 sweeps
them.
Deats,
- `tractor/_testing/_reap.py`: add `find_orphaned_shm()`
+ `reap_shm()` helpers. Match criteria: regular file
under `/dev/shm`, owned by current uid, AND no live
proc has it open (mmap'd or fd-held). In-use
enumeration via `psutil.Process.memory_maps()` +
`.open_files()` — xplatform, kernel-canonical (same
answer `lsof` would give), no reliance on
tractor-specific shm-key naming.
- `_ensure_shm_supported()` guard: helpers raise
`NotImplementedError` outside Linux/FreeBSD bc macOS
POSIX shm has no fs-visible path (`shm_open` only)
and Windows is a different story.
- `scripts/tractor-reap`: new `--shm` (run after
process reap) and `--shm-only` (skip process phase)
flags. `-n` dry-runs both phases. Exit code is `1`
if either phase had survivors/errors.
- `pyproject.toml` + `uv.lock`: add `psutil>=7.0.0` to
the `testing` dep group; lazy-imported in `_reap.py`
so the process-reap path stays import-clean without
it.
Also,
- doc `--shm` in `.claude/skills/run-tests/SKILL.md`
(new section 10c) — covers match criteria + the
preservation guarantee for unrelated apps.
- flip mitigation status in
`subint_forkserver_mp_shared_memory_issue.md` from
"could extend `tractor-reap`" to "implemented", with
a note that callers should still UUID-pin shm keys to
avoid cross-session collisions.
Verified locally vs 81 in-use segments held by `piker`,
`lttng-ust-*`, `aja-shm-*` — all preserved; only the
genuinely-orphaned tractor segments got unlinked.

cmdline.
- descendant-mode (`--parent <pid>`): scoped
sweep under a still-live supervisor.
SC-polite: SIGINT with bounded grace window
(default 3s) before escalating to SIGKILL.
Exit code signals whether escalation was needed
(useful for CI health-checks).

Zombie-subactor cleanup for the test suite, SC-polite discipline
(`SIGINT` first, bounded grace, `SIGKILL` only on survivors). Two parts:
a shared reaper module + an autouse session-end fixture that runs it.
Deats,
- new `tractor/_testing/_reap.py` (+230 LOC) — Linux- only reaper using
`/proc/<pid>/{status,cwd,cmdline}` inspection. Two detection modes:
- `find_descendants(parent_pid)` for the in-session case
(PPid-direct-match while pytest is still alive).
- `find_orphans(repo_root)` for the CLI / post- mortem case (`PPid==1`
reparented to init + `cwd` filter to repo root + `python` cmdline
filter).
- `reap(pids, *, grace=3.0, poll=0.25)` does the signal ladder: SIGINT
all, poll up to `grace` for exit, SIGKILL any survivors. Returns
`(signalled, killed)` for caller-side reporting.
- new `_reap_orphaned_subactors` session-scoped autouse fixture in
`tractor/_testing/pytest.py` — after `yield`, runs
`find_descendants(os.getpid())` + `reap(...)` so each pytest session
leaves no surviving forks.
- companion CLI scaffolding lives at `scripts/tractor-reap` (separate
commit) for the pytest-died-mid-session case where the in-session
fixture didn't get to run.
Also,
- promote `from tractor.spawn._spawn import SpawnMethodKey` to
module-top in `pytest.py` (was inline-imported inside
`pytest_generate_tests`), and reuse it in
`pytest_collection_modifyitems` to assert each `skipon_spawn_backend`
mark arg is a valid spawn-method literal — catches typos at collection
time.
- inline `# ?TODO` flags running these through the `try_set_backend`
checker for stronger validation.
Cross-refs `feedback_sc_graceful_cancel_first.md` for the
SIGINT-before-SIGKILL discipline rationale.

(cherry picked from commit eae478f3d5)
Lands the capture-pipe workaround from the prior cluster of diagnosis
commits: switch pytest's `--capture` mode from the default `fd`
(redirects fd 1,2 to temp files, which fork children inherit and can
deadlock writing into) to `sys` (only `sys.stdout` / `sys.stderr` — fd
1,2 left alone).
Trade-off documented inline in `pyproject.toml`:
- LOST: per-test attribution of raw-fd output (C-ext writes,
`os.write(2, ...)`, subproc stdout). Still goes to terminal / CI
capture, just not per-test-scoped in the failure report.
- KEPT: `print()` + `logging` capture per-test (tractor's logger uses
`sys.stderr`).
- KEPT: `pytest -s` debugging behavior.
This allows us to re-enable `test_nested_multierrors` without
skip-marking + clears the class of pytest-capture-induced hangs for any
future fork-based backend tests.
Deats,
- `pyproject.toml`: `'--capture=sys'` added to `addopts` w/ ~20 lines of
rationale comment cross-ref'ing the post-mortem doc
- `test_cancellation`: drop `skipon_spawn_backend('subint_forkserver')`
from `test_nested_ multierrors` — no longer needed.
* file-level `pytestmark` covers any residual.
- `tests/spawn/test_subint_forkserver.py`: orphan-SIGINT test's xfail
mark loosened from `strict=True` to `strict=False` + reason rewritten.
* it passes in isolation but is session-env-pollution sensitive
(leftover subactor PIDs competing for ports / inheriting harness
FDs).
* tolerate both outcomes until suite isolation improves.
- `test_shm`: extend the existing
`skipon_spawn_backend('subint', ...)` to also skip
`'subint_forkserver'`.
* Different root cause from the cancel-cascade class:
`multiprocessing.SharedMemory`'s `resource_tracker` + internals
assume fresh- process state, don't survive fork-without-exec cleanly
- `tests/discovery/test_registrar.py`: bump timeout 3→7s on one test
(unrelated to forkserver; just a flaky-under-load bump).
- `tractor.spawn._subint_forkserver`: inline comment-only future-work
marker right before `_actor_child_main()` describing the planned
conditional stdout/stderr-to-`/dev/null` redirect for cases where
`--capture=sys` isn't enough (no code change — the redirect logic
itself is deferred).
EXTRA NOTEs
-----------
The `--capture=sys` approach is the minimum- invasive fix: just a pytest
ini change, no runtime code change, works for all fork-based backends,
trade-offs well-understood (terminal-level capture still happens, just
not pytest's per-test attribution of raw-fd output).

(factored: the test-file mark adjustments ride with the test-hardening segment)
A reusable `@pytest.mark.skipon_spawn_backend( '<backend>' [, ...],
reason='...')` marker for backend-specific known-hang / -borked cases
— avoids scattering `@pytest.mark.skipif(lambda ...)` branches across
tests that misbehave under a particular `--spawn-backend`.
Deats,
- `pytest_configure()` registers the marker via
`addinivalue_line('markers', ...)`.
- New `pytest_collection_modifyitems()` hook walks
each collected item with `item.iter_markers(
name='skipon_spawn_backend')`, checks whether the
active `--spawn-backend` appears in `mark.args`, and
if so injects a concrete `pytest.mark.skip(
reason=...)`. `iter_markers()` makes the decorator
work at function, class, or module (`pytestmark =
[...]`) scope transparently.
- First matching mark wins; default reason is
`f'Borked on --spawn-backend={backend!r}'` if the
caller doesn't supply one.
Also, tighten type annotations on nearby `pytest`
integration points — `pytest_configure`, `debug_mode`,
`spawn_backend`, `tpt_protos`, `tpt_proto` — now taking
typed `pytest.Config` / `pytest.FixtureRequest` params.

Add a hard process-level wall-clock bound on a test

Deats,
- New `testing` dep: `pytest-timeout>=2.3`.
- `test_stale_entry_is_deleted`:
`@pytest.mark.timeout(3, method='thread')`. The
`method='thread'` choice is deliberate —
`method='signal'` routes via `SIGALRM` which can be
starved by the same GIL-hostage path that drops
`SIGINT`, so it'd never actually fire in the
starvation case.
At timeout, `pytest-timeout` hard-kills the pytest
process itself — that's the intended behavior here;
the alternative is the suite never returning.

`|_.stderr:` block for human teardown logs. No
nursery-eg-wrapped CPE to `collapse_eg` around.
- Parent controlling-tty isolation: `stdin=DEVNULL`
always, `stdout=DEVNULL` unless relayed/overridden
(via `stdout=` kwarg w/ `_UNSET` sentinel so explicit
`None` = inherit still works). Prevents a spawned
program from clobbering the launching tty's scrollback
w/ control-seqs.
- Live per-line relay: `relay_stdout=True`/
`relay_stderr=True` → relayed to `log.<relay_level>`
(default `'io'`, our custom level 21). Picked to sort
just above stdlib `INFO`=20 so it shows at usual
`info`/`devx` levels yet stays separately filterable;
`runtime`=15 was REJECTED as a default since it'd be
silently filtered at usual verbosity — footgun for
daemon supervisors whose whole point is visibility.
STREAMED, not buffered-until-exit.
- Non-blocking `tn.start()` semantics: live
`trio.Process` handed up via
`task_status.started()` immediately (else
`tn.start()` would block till child exit, losing
the long-lived-daemon use case). Supervise/relay bg
tasks run to completion in this coro.
- `**run_process_kwargs` forwarded verbatim (env, shell,
cwd, start_new_session, executable, ...); MANAGED keys
(`stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr`/`check`) win on conflict.
- Crash-handling layer intentionally NOT baked in —
compose `maybe_open_crash_handler()` ON TOP at the
call-site.
`_relay_stream_lines()` helper,
- Concurrent pipe-drain reader. MANDATORY whenever piping
w/o `capture_*` since nothing else drains the OS pipe —
child blocks on `write()` once kernel buf (~64KiB) fills
→ deadlock.
- Modes (combine freely): `emit`-only live relay,
`accum`-only silent drain+capture (for the CPE note),
or both. Per-line splitting handles cross-chunk
residuals + flushes any trailing un-newline-term'd line
at EOF.
`_add_stderr_note()` helper,
- Attaches an indented `|_.stderr:` note to a CPE via
`add_note()` for legible rc!=0 reporting at teardown.
Tests (`tests/trionics/test_subproc.py`),
- Hermetic `trio`-only (no actor-runtime).
- `test_stdout_relayed_per_line`: per-line stdout relay.
- `test_parent_tty_isolated`: child fd1 is OUR pipe (no
`/dev/pts/*`), fd0 pinned to `/dev/null`.
- `test_no_deadlock_on_big_unnewlined_output`: 200KiB
no-newline output completes under `fail_after(2)` —
exercises the concurrent drain (without it, the child
blocks at ~64KiB).
- `test_stderr_relay_and_cpe_rebuild`: rc!=0 w/
`relay_stderr=True` → bare `CalledProcessError` w/ the
`.stderr` note + per-line live relay.
- `test_nonrelay_cpe_note`: rc!=0 w/o relay → same
deterministic post-drain CPE w/ `.stderr` note (silent
drain+capture path).
Re-export `supervise_run_process` from `tractor.trionics`.

(cherry picked from commit f595acc76c)
Follow-up to f595acc7 (`supervise_run_process`) which
called `log.io(...)` for std-stream relay assuming an
`IO=21` level existed. Add the registration via a new
factory + tests covering both the factory and the new
level.
`add_log_level()` factory,
- One call wires the four (otherwise hand-synced) pieces:
- `CUSTOM_LEVELS[NAME]` — drives the `stacklevel` bump
in `StackLevelAdapter.log()` + `get_logger()`'s
per-level audit.
- `logging.addLevelName()` — stdlib name registration.
- `STD_PALETTE[NAME]` + `BOLD_PALETTE['bold'][NAME]` —
color entries consumed by `get_console_log()`'s
`ColoredFormatter` build.
- Same-named (lowercase) emit method bound on
`StackLevelAdapter` so `log.<name>('msg')` works +
`get_logger()`'s per-level method audit passes.
- Idempotent: re-registering an existing name is a
no-op-ish refresh that won't clobber an already-bound
method.
- Method binding uses a default-arg `_level=value` so
the level int is captured (not late-bound across
multiple registrations).
`IO=21` level (first user),
- Purple. Used by `tractor.trionics._subproc`'s
std-stream relay (see f595acc7).
- Value 21 picked to sit just ABOVE stdlib `INFO`=20 so
it's SHOWN BY DEFAULT at usual `info`/`devx` console
levels — a `runtime`=15 relay would be silently
filtered (footgun for daemon supervisors whose whole
point is visibility). Still distinctly labeled +
filterable.
Tests (`tests/test_log_sys.py`),
- `test_io_custom_level_registered`: validates the IO
level is fully wired (`CUSTOM_LEVELS`, `addLevelName`,
both palettes, `StackLevelAdapter.io()` callable);
emits a record + sanity-asserts `21 >= INFO(20)`.
- `test_add_log_level_pluggable`: registers a fresh
`XLVL=19` (cyan) via `add_log_level()`, asserts all
four wires + the bound `xlog.xlvl()` emit, then
try/finally cleans up the module-global mutations so
later `get_logger()` audits don't trip on a
half-removed level.

(cherry picked from commit 7bd7dd50c7)
Follow-up note documenting why the deeper "Route B" fix
for `LogSpec`/`apply_logspec()` true per-leaf-MODULE level
control was NOT taken — in favor of the smaller
sub-PACKAGE fix that shipped in 9c36363b.
Doc covers,
- Status: what 9c36363b already gives (per-sub-pkg
control at any nesting depth, `devx.debug` ≠ `devx`)
vs. what remains unaddressed (per-leaf-mod levels,
top-level lib mods like `tractor.to_asyncio` on the
root logger).
- "Route B" sketch: make logger *identity* the full
dotted module path; mv the cosmetic leaf-trim out of
logger-naming into the *formatter's* `{name}`
rendering.
- 6 breaking-change costs: every logger name changes,
formatter rewrite, propagation/double-emit surface
grows, level-inheritance semantics shift,
`modden`/`piker` contract churn, `get_logger()`
refactor risk.
- Migration plan if pursued: extract a pure
`_mk_logger_name()` helper w/ an exhaustive name-shape
test matrix, swap `get_logger()` to use it for
identity, swap formatter to use the display string,
golden-diff rendered headers, coordinate w/
downstreams.
- "Route A" alternative: a `logging.Filter` keyed on
`record.module`/`pathname` for per-leaf control w/o
name churn — lower risk, narrower power.
- Recommendation: defer Route B; prefer Route A if
per-leaf is needed soon; the shipped sub-PKG fix
covers the common ask.
Lives under `ai/tooling-todos/` since it's a deferred-
work decision record, not a triage/conc-anal doc.

(cherry picked from commit 5b3c2e3762)
Strip the trailing `pkg_path` token ONLY when it duplicates the
caller's leaf-*module* name (which the console header already
shows via `{filename}`), instead of blindly dropping the last
token. This keeps genuine, possibly-*nested* sub-PACKAGE parts
addressable as their own sub-loggers.
- detect a true leaf-mod by comparing the caller's `__name__`
vs `__package__` (a pkg `__init__` has them equal -> its
trailing token is a real sub-pkg, NOT a leaf to strip).
- `name='devx.debug'` now -> `tractor.devx.debug`, DISTINCT
from a bare `devx` -> `tractor.devx`; the old unconditional
`pkg_path = subpkg_path` collapsed both to `tractor.devx` and
silently broke per-sub-pkg level control via the logging-spec.
- `get_logger(__name__)` leaf-strip still works (cosmetic, bc
the leaf-mod is in the `{filename}` header field).
Also,
- update the `LogSpec` caveat: sub-PACKAGE granularity now
addressable at ANY depth; leaf *modules* intentionally aren't
(they're the `{filename}`); top-level mods (eg. `to_asyncio`)
still emit on the root logger.
- adjust `test_root_pkg_not_duplicated_in_logger_name` to the
new literal explicit-`name` contract (no leaf-collapse).

(cherry picked from commit 9c36363b01)
Two coupled changes that let downstream projects (eg. `modden`) inherit
the test-harness loglevel plumbing for free via
`tractor._testing.pytest`:
Plugin lift (`tests/conftest.py` → `_testing/pytest.py`),
- mv `pytest_addoption(--ll)`, the `loglevel` autouse
fixture, and `test_log` fixture out of the test-suite-
local conftest into the reusable plugin.
- add `--tl`/`--tractor-loglevel` as a DISTINCT flag from
`--ll`: `--ll` is the consuming-project's OWN app
loglevel (scoped to its pkg-hierarchy), `--tl` is the
`tractor.*` runtime loglevel. `--tl` falls back to
`--ll` when unset (preserves current `tractor`-suite
behavior).
- add `testing_pkg_name` session fixture (default
`'tractor'`) — downstream projects override to e.g.
`'modden'` so `--ll` scopes to their own hierarchy
instead of `tractor.*`.
- `loglevel` fixture now yields the resolved
tractor-runtime level (passed to
`open_root_actor(loglevel=<.>)` by `@tractor_test`)
AND separately applies `--ll` to the
`testing_pkg_name` hierarchy when that isn't
`tractor`. `test_log` scopes the per-test logger to
`testing_pkg_name`.
`tractor.log` "logging-spec" mini-DSL,
- `LogSpec = str|bool`. Accepted forms:
- `True` → enable `pkg_name` root at `default_level`
(fallback `'cancel'`).
- `False` → no-op.
- bare level eg. `'info'` → root-logger at that level.
- `'sub:info,x:cancel'` → per-sub-logger filter-spec;
each `<name>` is RELATIVE to `pkg_name` (must NOT
include the pkg-token).
- `parse_logspec()` → `{sublog|None: level}` mapping.
`None` key = root-logger. Mixed bare-level + filters
in one spec is rejected w/ a helpful err msg; so is
embedding the `pkg_name` token in a sub-name.
- `apply_logspec()` → `(primary_level, {name: log})`:
parses then enables a `colorlog` stderr handler per
named (sub)logger. Authoritative sub-logger filters
get `propagate=False` so they don't double-emit
through a parallel root-level handler.
- !GRANULARITY CAVEAT! sub-logger names match at
sub-pkg granularity, not leaf-module — so `devx.debug`
collapses to the same `tractor.devx` logger as a bare
`devx`, and top-level lib modules (eg.
`tractor.to_asyncio`) emit under the *root* logger
rather than a phantom `to_asyncio` child. Documented
inline on `LogSpec`.
Other,
- `tests/conftest.py` keeps a NOTE pointing to the
plugin for future-debugging clarity (don't remove
silently — the lift is the relevant signal).

SIGUSR1 task-tree dumps via `stackscope` should work in
plain (non-pdb) runs too — esp. in infected-`asyncio`
processes where the kernel-default SIGUSR1 disposition is
`Term` (proc dies on `kill -USR1` w/o an installed
handler). Ungate the install path from `_debug_mode` in
both root and sub-actor init; the `use_stackscope` rt-var
+ `TRACTOR_ENABLE_STACKSCOPE` env-var checks remain as
the actual opt-in (e.g. via `--enable-stackscope`).
Deats,
- `_root.open_root_actor`: drop the `debug_mode and ...`
conjunction around the `enable_stack_on_sig()` call;
now gated only on the `enable_stack_on_sig` arg itself.
- `_runtime.Actor` sub-actor init: lift the
`use_stackscope`/`TRACTOR_ENABLE_STACKSCOPE` branch out
of the `if rvs['_debug_mode']:` block to peer-level.
The `use_greenback` branch stays inside `_debug_mode`
(pdb-specific).
- Refresh inline comments on both sites to call out the
infected-`asyncio` "default SIGUSR1 = terminate proc"
rationale.

Factor the sub-actor relay loop out of
`dump_tree_on_sig()` into `_relay_sig_to_subactors()`
and chain both dump + relay in a single
`run_sync_soon` callback (`_dump_then_relay`) so the
parent's task-tree flushes BEFORE any sub receives
the signal — fixes a hierarchical-ordering race
where subs could dump ahead of the parent in the
muxed pty stream.
Also,
- gate file/tty sink writes behind `write_file` +
`write_tty` params on `dump_task_tree()`.
- use `actor.aid.uid` instead of deprecated `.uid`.
- update `test_shield_pause` expects to match the
new sequential parent -> relay-log -> sub ordering.

(cherry picked from commit e2b790a70d)
Signal handlers fire in a non-trio stack frame; calling
`stackscope.extract(recurse_child_tasks=True)` from there
only walks the `<init>` task and misses everything inside
`async_main`'s nurseries — exactly the part you want to
see during a hang.
Fix: capture `trio.lowlevel.current_trio_token()` at
`enable_stack_on_sig()` time and stash it as a module-
level `_trio_token`. The SIGUSR1 handler then dispatches
the dump *onto* the trio loop via
`_trio_token.run_sync_soon(_safe_dump_task_tree)`, so
`stackscope.extract` runs from a real trio-task context
and walks the full nursery tree.
Late-binding: pytest's `pytest_configure` calls
`enable_stack_on_sig()` outside any `trio.run`, so token
capture there is a `RuntimeError` — left at `None`. The
runtime re-calls `enable_stack_on_sig()` from inside
`async_main` (subactor side) where the token IS
available, so subactors get the full-tree path.
`dump_tree_on_sig` falls back to a direct call when
`_trio_token is None` (parent process pre-trio.run, or
signal delivered after `trio.run` returns).
`_safe_dump_task_tree()` is a `run_sync_soon`-friendly
wrapper that swallows any exception from
`dump_task_tree()` — trio prints + crashes on uncaught
exceptions in scheduled callbacks; better to log + keep
the run alive so the user can re-trigger.
Other,
- emit `capture-bypass tee: <fpath>` line + `tail -f`
hint in the rendered dump header so users know where
to find the artifact even when stdio is captured.
- swap the inline `f' |_{actor}'` line for a
`_pformat.nest_from_op` rendering of `actor_repr`
(matches the rest of the runtime's nested-op style).
- log lines on handler install + already-installed
branches now note `(trio_token captured: <bool>)`
so it's obvious from the log whether the full-tree
path is wired.

(cherry picked from commit 2d4995e08d)
New `--enable-stackscope` CLI flag installs a SIGUSR1 →
trio-task-tree-dump handler in pytest itself + every
spawned subactor for live stack visibility during hang
investigations. Lighter than `--tpdb` (no pdb machinery
/ tty-lock contention) — pure stack-only triage.
Plumbing:
- `_testing.pytest.pytest_addoption()` adds the flag.
- `_testing.pytest.pytest_configure()` (when flag set):
* exports `TRACTOR_ENABLE_STACKSCOPE=1` so fork-children
inherit it via environ,
* installs the handler in pytest itself via
`enable_stack_on_sig()`.
- `runtime._runtime.Actor.async_main()` extends the
existing `_debug_mode` gate to ALSO fire when
`TRACTOR_ENABLE_STACKSCOPE` is in env — so subactors
install the same handler at runtime startup.
Capture-bypass tee in `dump_task_tree()`:
Pytest's default `--capture=fd` swallows `log.devx()`
output, making SIGUSR1 dumps invisible right when you
need them. Render the dump once to a `full_dump` str,
then unconditionally tee to:
- `/tmp/tractor-stackscope-<pid>.log` (append-mode,
always written) — guaranteed-readable artifact even
under CI / `nohup` / no-tty. `tail -f` to follow.
- `/dev/tty` (best-effort) — pytest never captures the
tty; ignored if device is missing.
Other,
- squelch the benign `RuntimeWarning` ("coroutine method
'asend'/'athrow' was never awaited") from
`stackscope._glue`'s import-time async-gen type
introspection so `--enable-stackscope` setup stays
quiet.
- log msg in the `_runtime` ImportError branch now
mentions `--enable-stackscope` alongside debug-mode.
Usage,
pytest --enable-stackscope -k <hang-test>
# in another shell, find the pid + signal:
kill -USR1 <pytest-or-subactor-pid>
# tail the artifact:
tail -f /tmp/tractor-stackscope-<pid>.log

Bottle up the diagnostic primitives that actually cracked the
silent mid-suite hangs in the `subint` spawn-backend bringup (issue
there" session has them on the shelf instead of reinventing from
scratch.
Deats,
- `dump_on_hang(seconds, *, path)` — context manager wrapping
`faulthandler.dump_traceback_later()`. Critical gotcha baked in:
dumps go to a *file*, not `sys.stderr`, bc pytest's stderr
capture silently eats the output and you can spend an hour
convinced you're looking at the wrong thing
- `track_resource_deltas(label, *, writer)` — context manager
logging per-block `(threading.active_count(),
len(_interpreters.list_all()))` deltas; quickly rules out
leak-accumulation theories when a suite progressively worsens (if
counts don't grow, it's not a leak, look for a race on shared
cleanup instead)
- `resource_delta_fixture(*, autouse, writer)` — factory returning
a `pytest` fixture wrapping `track_resource_deltas` per-test; opt
in by importing into a `conftest.py`. Kept as a factory (not a
bare fixture) so callers own `autouse` / `writer` wiring
Also,
- export the three names from `tractor.devx`
- dep-free on py<3.13 (swallows `ImportError` for `_interpreters`)

`30e15925` ("Add `start_or_cancel()` to `trionics._taskc`")
inserted `async def start_or_cancel()` — whose body opens its
own col-4 `try:` — immediately before the trailing `else:
raise`. Because the edit was a pure insertion (0 deletions),
the *same* `else: raise` lines were silently REPARENTED: they
used to be the `for exc_match in matching: ... else: raise`
of `maybe_raise_from_masking_exc`, but now bind to
`start_or_cancel`'s `try/except` where they're unreachable
dead code.
Net effect: `maybe_raise_from_masking_exc` lost the `for/else`
re-raise of the un-masked exception, so a masked child
cancellation gets swallowed instead of surfaced.
- restore the `for/else: raise` to `maybe_raise_from_masking_exc`

(cherry picked from commit 325574cc07)
Wrapper around `trio.Nursery.start()` that DOESN'T mask
out-of-band cancellation as a lossy startup failure.
Picks the right re-raise: ambient `Cancelled` when
present, the genuine startup-protocol `RuntimeError`
otherwise.
The problem,
- `trio.Nursery.start()` raises a generic
`RuntimeError("child exited without calling
task_status.started()")` whenever the started task
exits BEFORE calling `task_status.started()` —
INCLUDING the common case where the child was
cancelled out-of-band by an *ancestor* cancel-scope
erroring/cancelling.
- In that case the original `trio.Cancelled` is
swallowed and the caller is left w/ an opaque,
root-cause-detached `RuntimeError`.
The fix,
- Catch the "...started" RTE.
- `await trio.lowlevel.checkpoint_if_cancelled()` —
re-raises the in-flight `Cancelled` IFF we're under
effective cancellation (ancestor-inclusive), carrying
trio's auto-generated reason which points at the true
root exc.
- If we're NOT cancelled the `checkpoint_if_cancelled()`
is a cheap no-op and we fall through to re-raise the
genuine startup-protocol RTE.
Re-export from `tractor.trionics` so callers don't have
to reach into `_taskc`.

(cherry picked from commit 30e15925ba)
Factor the "deliver an exc to a running aio task" pattern out of
`translate_aio_errors()` + `open_channel_from()` into a shared
`maybe_signal_aio_task()` helper. Add a cause-chain matrix comment
+ relay-echo guard so the final-raise block can't cycle
`trio_err.__cause__` back onto its own derivative relay.
`maybe_signal_aio_task()`,
- Delivers `exc` via `aio_task._fut_waiter.set_exception()` — NOT
`aio_task.set_exception()` which on py3.13+ ALWAYS raises
`RuntimeError("Task does not support set_exception")` (dead code as
a relay mechanism).
- Returns `(delivered: bool, report: str)`. Caller uses `delivered` to
flip `wait_on_aio_task` when delivery failed (avoids hanging on
`_aio_task_complete.wait()`).
- `pre_captured_fut=`: required when the caller crosses a trio
checkpoint between capturing `_fut_waiter` and invoking the helper.
`Task._wakeup` clears `_fut_waiter = None` so re-reading
post-checkpoint loses the ref even though the exc is still in-flight
on the (now-`done()`) original fut.
- `cause=`: sets `exc.__cause__ = cause` so the relay carries
a "trio_err -> caused -> relay" chain through `set_exception()`
→ `Task._wakeup` → coro raise → `wait_on_coro_final_result`
→ `signal_trio_when_done` → `task.result()`-raise.
- `allow_cancel_fallback=True`: opt-in `aio_task.cancel()` for the
narrow case where `_fut_waiter is None` AND task is runnable (sitting
in asyncio's ready queue, not parked on a poke-able future). NEVER
cancels when `_fut_waiter` carries an in-flight exc — that would race
+ mask the real terminating exc.
`translate_aio_errors()`,
- Replace the two ad-hoc `_fut_waiter.set_exception()`
/ `aio_task.set_exception()` call sites w/ the helper.
- Capture `pre_cp_fut = aio_task._fut_waiter` BEFORE the post-shutdown
`trio.lowlevel.checkpoint()` (critical: `_wakeup` clears the ref).
- New "cross-loop cause-chain matrix" comment block on the final-raise
— tabulates every `(trio_err, aio_err, trio_to_raise)` combo into
exactly one terminal `raise X [from Y]` or early `return`. Covers the
sibling `signal_trio_when_done()` resolution + the relay-echo
INVARIANT.
- New relay-echo guard: if `aio_err` is one of OUR OWN signals
(`TrioTaskExited`/`TrioCancelled`) AND `aio_err.__cause__ is
trio_err`, raise the bare `trio_err` instead of `trio_err from
aio_err` (which would CYCLE the cause chain since the relay was itself
caused-by `trio_err`).
- Drop the stale "the `task.set_exception(aio_taskc)` call MUST NOT
EXCEPT or this WILL HANG" warning — the helper handles the failure
path explicitly via `delivered=False` → `wait_on_aio_task = False`.
- Carry `cause=trio_err` on both the cancel-relay (`TrioCancelled`) and
the graceful-exit relay (`TrioTaskExited`) so the aio-side traceback
shows the real root.
`open_channel_from()`,
- Adopt the same helper; drop the dead "SHOULD NEVER GET HERE !?!?"
+ `tractor.pause(shield=True)` panic branch.
- Capture in-flight trio-side exc via `sys.exc_info()[1]` and pass as
`cause=` — non-`None` only when the `try` body raised (graceful exit
→ None).
Other,
- Top-level import: `sys` (for `sys.exc_info()`).
- `run_as_asyncio_guest()`: add commented-out alt `out: Outcome = await
trio_done_fute` next to the shielded version — exploratory note for
the longstanding "why is `.shield()` needed?" TODO.

Wires SC-discipline cancel-then-escalate into
`ActorNursery.cancel()`:
graceful cancel-req -> bounded wait -> hard-kill
Deats,
- add `raise_on_timeout: bool = False` kwarg to `Portal.cancel_actor()`.
When `True`, bounded- wait expiry raises `ActorTooSlowError` instead
of the legacy DEBUG-log + return-`False` path. Default stays `False`
for callers that handle their own escalation (e.g.
`_spawn.soft_kill()` polling `proc.poll()`).
- add `_try_cancel_then_kill()` helper in `_supervise` used by per-child
cancel tasks. On `ActorTooSlowError`, escalates via `proc.terminate()`
(SIGTERM) so a non-acking sub doesn't park `soft_kill()` forever
waiting on `proc.poll()`.
- replace `tn.start_soon(portal.cancel_actor)` in
`ActorNursery.cancel()` with the helper.
Debug-mode bypass:
-----------------
skip escalation (fall back to legacy fire-and-forget cancel) when ANY
of:
- `Lock.ctx_in_debug is not None` (some actor is currently
REPL-locked)
- `_runtime_vars['_debug_mode']` (root opened with `debug_mode=True`).
- `ActorNursery._at_least_one_child_in_debug` (per-child `debug_mode=`
opt-in).
ORing covers root-debug, child-debug, and active- REPL-lock cases
without false-positively SIGTERM- ing a sub-tree proxying stdio for
a REPL session.
Motivated by the `subint_forkserver` dup-name hang where a same-named
sibling subactor's cancel-RPC failed to ack within
`Portal.cancel_timeout` (TCP+ forkserver register-RPC contention) and
the nursery `__aexit__` deadlocked.

Distinct from `trio.TooSlowError` so that existing
`except trio.TooSlowError:` blocks don't silently
mask actor-cancel timeouts — these must propagate
to let a supervisor escalate to
`proc.terminate()` per SC-discipline:
graceful cancel-req -> bounded wait -> hard-kill
Motivated by #subint_forkserver dup-name hang
where `Portal.cancel_actor()` silently swallowed
the timeout and the supervisor never escalated,
leaving a same-named sibling subactor parked
forever.

Pre-compute `mismatch_lines` str instead of `+`-concat
inside the f-string raise site; slightly easier to read

Raise `ValueError` from `open_root_actor()` when any
`registry_addrs` entry uses a transport proto not in
`enable_transports` — historically this caused a
silent indefinite hang during the registrar handshake
(the actor could never connect to register/discover).
Also,
- update `test_root_passes_tpt_to_sub` to detect a
proto mismatch between parametrized `tpt_proto_key`
and CLI `tpt_proto`, asserting the new guard raises
`ValueError` with expected msg content.
- replace old commented-out notes with a clearer
explanation of the mismatch foot-gun.

Wrap `os.unlink()` in `close_listener()` with a `FileNotFoundError`
guard — under concurrent pytest sessions the sock-file can already be
reaped. Without this the raise aborts `_serve_ipc_eps`'s finally before
`_shutdown.set()`, deadlocking `wait_for_shutdown()` on
`actor.cancel()`.
Also,
- close each endpoint independently in the finally so one raise doesn't
strand the rest.
- always signal `_shutdown.set()` regardless of remaining ep count.

In top level `daemon`-fixture that is..
Use a local `bg_daemon_spawn_delay` instead of
mutating the module-level `_PROC_SPAWN_WAIT` —
previously each `daemon` fixture invocation would
permanently add 1.6s (UDS) or 1s (CI) to the
global, inflating delays across the session.
Also, emit a `test_log.warning()` when verbose
loglevel is silently reduced to `'info'`.

With a seminal patch fixing `trio`'s `WakeupSocketpair.drain()` which
can busy-loop due to lack of handling `EOF`.
New `tractor.trionics.patches` subpkg housing defensive monkey-patches
for upstream `trio` bugs we've encountered while running `tractor`
— particularly as of recent, fork-survival edge cases that haven't been
filed/fixed upstream yet. Each patch is idempotent, version-gated via
`is_needed()`, and carries a `# REMOVE WHEN:` marker pointing at the
upstream release whose adoption allows deletion.
Subpkg layout + per-patch contract documented in
`tractor/trionics/patches/README.md` — `apply()` / `is_needed()`
/ `repro()` API, registry pattern via `_PATCHES` in `__init__.py`,
single-call entry point `apply_all()`.
First patch, `_wakeup_socketpair`:
- `trio`'s `WakeupSocketpair.drain()` loops on `recv(64KB)` and exits
ONLY on `BlockingIOError`, NEVER on `recv() == b''` (peer-closed FIN).
- under `fork()`-spawning backends the COW-inherited socketpair fds
& `_close_inherited_fds()` teardown can leave a `WakeupSocketpair`
instance whose write-end is closed, and `drain()` then **spins forever
in C with no Python checkpoints**,
- this obviously burns 100% CPU and no signal delivery.
Standalone repro:
from trio._core._wakeup_socketpair import WakeupSocketpair
ws = WakeupSocketpair()
ws.write_sock.close()
ws.drain() # spins forever
Patch is one-line — break the drain loop on b'' EOF.
Manifested as two distinct test failures:
- `tests/test_multi_program.py::test_register_duplicate_name` hung at
100% CPU on the busy-loop directly (fork child's worker thread)
- `tests/test_infected_asyncio.py::test_aio_simple_error` Mode-A
deadlock — busy-loop wedged trio's scheduler inside `start_guest_run`,
both threads parked in `epoll_wait`, no TCP connect-back to parent
ever happened.
Same patch fixes both. Restored 99.7% pass rate on full
suite under `--spawn-backend=main_thread_forkserver`
(was hanging indefinitely before).
Wired into `tractor._child._actor_child_main` via `apply_all()` BEFORE
any trio runtime init. Harmless on non-fork backends.
Conc-anal write-ups, including strace + py-spy evidence:
- `ai/conc-anal/trio_wakeup_socketpair_busy_loop_under_fork_issue.md`
- `ai/conc-anal/infected_asyncio_under_main_thread_forkserver_hang_issue.md`
Regression tests in `tests/trionics/test_patches.py`: each test asserts
(a) the bug exists pre-patch (or is fixed upstream — skip cleanly), (b)
the patch fixes it with a SIGALRM wall-clock cap so a regression hangs
loud instead of silently.
TODO:
- [ ] file the upstream `python-trio/trio` issue + PR.
- [ ] use the `repro()` callable in `_wakeup_socketpair.py` IS the issue
body's evidence section.
