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.
Review: PR #480 (goodboy)
https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/480
(this patch was generated in some part by `opencode` using
`gpt-5.6-sol` (`openai`))
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.

Make the sub-actor proc-title prefix a single
authoritative constant (`_proctitle._def_prefix`) so
the reap-recognition markers and `xontrib` banner pick
it up automatically — one place to flip the prefix
shape going fwd.
Deats,
- `_proctitle._def_prefix: str = '_subactor'`. New
module-level const consumed by everything that needs
to know the prefix.
- `set_actor_proctitle(actor, prefix=_def_prefix)`:
takes an explicit `prefix` arg (default = the const)
so callers can override per-spawn if they want.
- Default proc-title format:
`'tractor[<reprol>]'` → `f'{prefix}[<reprol>]'`
i.e. `_subactor[<reprol>]` by default.
- `_testing/_reap.py`: cmdline + comm markers source
the prefix from `_proctitle._def_prefix` instead of
the hardcoded `'tractor['`. So
`_is_tractor_subactor()` tracks the const
automatically.
- `xontrib/tractor_diag.xsh`: `acli.reap` orphan-mode
banner now interpolates the
`_TRACTOR_PROC_CMDLINE_MARKERS` tuple directly so
the human-readable mode line stays in sync if the
prefix shape changes again.

New `tractor.devx._proctitle` mod sets each
sub-actor's `argv[0]` (and kernel `comm`) to
`tractor[<aid.reprol()>]` — e.g.
`tractor[doggy@1027301b]` — so `ps`/`top`/`htop`
and `acli.pytree`/reaper tooling can identify
actors at a glance without parsing full cmdlines.
Deats,
- `set_actor_proctitle()` wraps the `setproctitle`
pkg with `ImportError` guard; optional at runtime
but listed in `pyproject.toml` so default installs
benefit.
- called early in `_child._actor_child_main()` after
`Actor` construction, before `_trio_main()` entry.
- tests in `tests/devx/test_proctitle.py`: format
unit test, `/proc/{cmdline,comm}` integration

(cherry picked from commit e2b790a70d)
In `tests/devx/conftest.py::spawn`, refactor the
fixture-internal closures so consumer tests can pass
explicit `start_method`/`loglevel` to each `_spawn()`
invocation rather than only inheriting the fixture-
scoped parametrize values.
Deats,
- promote `set_spawn_method()` and `set_loglevel()`
to take their respective values as fn params (vs
closing over the fixture-scope vars).
- give `_spawn()` `start_method=start_method` and
`loglevel: str|None = None` kwargs so callers
override one-off without re-parametrizing the
suite. NOTE: this drops the implicit fixture-
scoped `loglevel` forward — `_spawn()` callers
now must pass `loglevel=...` explicitly.
- TODO: figure out how `--ll <level>` should map to
the default (currently `None` → uses env-var or
tractor default).
- add a docstring to `_spawn()` so its role as the
consumer-facing closure is obvious from `help()`.
Also,
- `assert_before()` now returns the `.before` output
on success (was `None`); add a one-line docstring
describing the new return contract.

(factored: dropped spawn-backend-only paths under tests/spawn/)
Add env-var overrides inside `._root.open_root_actor()` so
devs/test-runs can swap the actor-spawn backend or crank
console verbosity *without* touching application code.
In `._root.open_root_actor()`,
- read `TRACTOR_LOGLEVEL` early, overriding any caller-passed
`loglevel` and stashing an `env_ll_report` to emit once the
console log is set up.
- pull the `loglevel` fallback (`or _default_loglevel`) and
`log.get_console_log()` init *up* so the env-var report
routes through tractor's own logger.
- read `TRACTOR_SPAWN_METHOD`, overriding any caller-passed
`start_method` and warn-logging when the env-var clobbers
an explicit caller value.
Wire the same vars through `tests/devx/conftest.py::spawn`,
- request the `loglevel` fixture, set both `TRACTOR_LOGLEVEL`
and `TRACTOR_SPAWN_METHOD` in `os.environ` before each
`pexpect.spawn()` (inherited by the example subproc).
- expand `supported_spawners` to include
`main_thread_forkserver` and `subint_forkserver` bc
example scripts no longer need per-script CLI plumbing.
- pop both vars in fixture teardown so a leaked value can't
re-route a later in-process tractor test's spawn-backend
or loglevel.

reproducing the `subint` GIL-contention / starvation

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.
To be a null default and set to `0.1` when not passed by the caller so
as to avoid having to pass `0.1` if you wanted the
param-defined-default.
Also,
- in the `spawn()` fixtures's `unset_colors()` closure, add in a masked
`os.environ['NO_COLOR'] = '1'` since i found it while trying to debug
debugger tests.
- always return the `child.before` content from `assert_before()`
helper; again it comes in handy when debugging console matching tests.
Improve the `spawn` fixture teardown logic in
`tests/devx/conftest.py` fixing the while-else bug, and fix
`test_advanced_faults` genexp for `TransportClosed` exc type
checking.
Deats,
- replace broken `while-else` pattern with direct
`if ptyproc.isalive()` check after the SIGINT loop.
- fix undefined `spawned` ref -> `ptyproc.isalive()` in
while condition.
- improve walrus expr formatting in timeout check (multiline
style).
Also fix `test_ipc_channel_break_during_stream()` assertion,
- wrap genexp in `all()` call so it actually checks all excs
are `TransportClosed` instead of just creating an unused
generator.

Refine tpt-error reporting to include closure attribution (`'locally'`

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`.

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.
Nicely nailing 2 birds by leveraging the new `repl_fixture` support to
actually avoid use of a `pexpect`-style test B)
Functionality audit summary,
- ensures `open_crash_handler() as bxerr:` adheres to,
- `raise_on_exit` semantics including only raising from a list of exc-types,
- `repl_fixture` setup/teardown invocation and that `yield False` blocks REPL
interaction,
- delivering a `BoxedMaybeException` with the correct state set post
crash.
- all the above outside the actor-runtime existing.
Also luckily enough, this seems to have found a bug for which a fix is
coming right up!
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.
If the underlying example script fails (say due to a console output
pattern-mismatch, `AssertionError`) the `pexpect` managed subproc with
a `debug_mode=True` crash-handling-REPL engaged will ofc *not terminate*
due to any SIGINT sent by the test harnesss (since we shield from it as
part of normal sub-actor debugger operation). So instead always send
a 'continue' cmd to the active `PdbREPL`'s stdin so it deactivates and
allows the py-script-process to raise and terminate, unblocking the
`pexpect.spawn`'s internal subproc joiner (which would otherwise hang
without manual intervention, blocking downstream tests..).
Also, use the new `PexpectSpawner` type alias after actually importing
future annots.. XD
Such that we can more easily annotate any consumer test's of our
`.tests.devx.conftest.spawn()` fixture which delivers a closure which, when
called in a test fn body, transitively sub-invokes:
`pytest.Pytester.spawn()` -> `pexpect.spawn()`
IMO Expecting `Callable[[str], pexpect.pty_spawn.spawn]]` to be used all
over is a bit too.. verbose?
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.
Namely the `tractor.pause_from_sync()` examples using both bg threads
and `asyncio` which seem to go into bad states where SIGINT is ignored..
Deats,
- add `maybe_expect_timeout()` cm to ensure the EOF hangs get
`.xfail()`ed instead.
- @pytest.mark.ctlcs_bish` `test_pause_from_sync` and don't expect the
greenback prompt msg.
- also mark `test_sync_pause_from_aio_task`.
Seems that on 3.13 it's not showing our script code in the output now?
Gotta get an example for @oremanj to see what's up but really it'd be
nice to just custom format stuff above `trio`'s runtime by def..
Anyway, update the `.devx._stackscope`,
- log formatting to be a little more "sclangy" lookin.
- change the per-actor "delimiter" lines style.
- report the `signal.getsignal(SIGINT)` which i needed in the
`sync_bp.py` with ctl-c causing a hang..
- mask the `_tree_dumped` duplicator log report as well as the "dumped
fine" one.
- add an example `pkill --signal SIGUSR1` cmdline.
Tweak the test to cope with,
- not showing our script lines now.. which i've commented in the
`assert_before()` patts..
- to expect the newly formatted delimiter (ascii) lines to separate the
root vs. hanger sub-actor sections.
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!
Since there's no way to activate `greenback`'s portal in such cases, we
should at least have a test verifying our very loud error about the
inability to support this usage..
