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).

[claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
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).

Adopt the `_testing.trace` CM helpers in two MTF-hang-prone
tests so on-timeout we get a fresh
`ptree`/`wchan`/`py-spy` diag snapshot on disk instead of
opaque pytest timeout-kills. Same shape as bd07a95d for
`test_dynamic_pub_sub`.
Deats,
- `test_echoserver_detailed_mechanics`:
* inner `trio.fail_after` → `fail_after_w_trace`. Adds
`fail_after_w_trace: FailAfterWTraceFactory` fixture
param.
* mv per-backend `timeout` calc to top of test body (was
interleaved w/ helper defs).
* factor deep
`open_nursery`/`open_context`/`open_stream` body into
`_body()` so the wrapping `main()` stays a 2-liner —
keeps the nested-CM block at its natural indent level
instead of pushing it under yet another `async with`.
* drop `with_timeout: bool` knob + `fa_main()` helper
(knob was hard-coded `True`).
- `test_sigint_closes_lifetime_stack`:
* outer `signal.alarm`/`try`/`finally` → single
`afk_alarm_w_trace(10)` CM. Adds
`afk_alarm_w_trace: AfkAlarmWTraceFactory` fixture
param.
* drop `_AFK_CAP_S` + `armed_alarm` vars (CM owns both).
* explanatory comment refreshed to mention
`AFKAlarmTimeout` + the disk-snapshot side effect.
Other,
- Drop debug `return 1e3` short-circuit from `delay()`
fixture — snuck in as a scratch line, was clobbering the
proper `debug_mode`-branched return.
- Top-level import: `FailAfterWTraceFactory`,
`AfkAlarmWTraceFactory` from `tractor._testing.trace`.

Replace inline `trio.fail_after` + manual `signal.alarm` guard with the
`_testing.trace` CM helpers that auto-capture a full ptree/wchan/py-spy
diag snapshot to disk on timeout.
Deats,
- inner guard: `trio.fail_after` → `fail_after_w_trace` (async CM,
captures on `TooSlowError`).
- outer AFK guard: raw `signal.alarm` → `afk_alarm_w_trace` (sync
CM, captures on `SIGALRM`), only armed under fork backends.
Extracts `_run_and_match()` helper to keep branching clean.
- bump `fail_after_s` from 4/12 → 8/20 to stop borderline flakes
while diag harness accumulates evidence.
- drop `_DIAG_CAP_S` var + manual signal import (now internal to
`afk_alarm_w_trace`).

`fail_after_w_trace` with per-backend timeout budget, bump
`@tractor_test(timeout=10)`, drop old multiprocessing depth

param, wrap `main()` in `fa_main()` with per-backend
`trio.fail_after` (4s fork / 1s trio) to cap cancel-cascade
teardown that compounds under forkserver.
- `test_sigint_closes_lifetime_stack`: swap `start_method` param

Outer `signal.alarm` cap that fires even when trio's
`fail_after` is blocked by a shielded-await deadlock
(the bug-class-3 hang under MTF backends). Only armed
for fork-based spawners where the bug lives.
Deats,
- `_DIAG_CAP_S = fail_after_s + 5` — slightly larger than the
trio-native guard so it always loses when the in-band path works.
- `test_log.cancel()` breadcrumbs at each cancel-scope boundary so the
last-fired breadcrumb names the swallow point on hang.
- try/finally wrapping around each scope level for deterministic
breadcrumb emission.
- add `is_forking_spawner`, `set_fork_aware_capture` fixture params.
- rework `fail_after_s`: 4s for fork, 12s for trio (was 30/12).
Also,
- `test_sigint_both_stream_types`: `assert 0` -> `pytest.fail()`, add
TODO re `pytest.raises()`.

documenting the spawn-time rc=2 race under rapid
same-name spawning against a forkserver + registrar
— the `wait_for_peer_or_proc_death` helper now surfaces
the death instead of parking forever on the handshake

Also,
- extract inline `xfail` into module-level

- apply it to `n_dups=8` too (previously bare) bc
larger N widens the race window enough to fire

Forking spawner + UDS transport has different timing
vs `trio_proc` — streaming example completes faster
in some cases, slower in others depending on fork
overhead + sock setup.
Deats,
- add `expect_cancel` param to `cancel_after()`, raise
`ActorTooSlowError` when cancel scope fires unexpectedly instead of
silently returning `None`.
- `time_quad_ex` fixture: bump timeout +1 for forking+UDS, explicit
`ActorTooSlowError` on `None` result instead of bare `assert results`.
- `test_not_fast_enough_quad`: `xfail` for forking+UDS being "too fast"
(cancel doesn't fire bc streaming finishes before delay).
- add `is_forking_spawner`, `tpt_proto` fixture params throughout.
Also,
- `_testing/pytest.py`: widen `start_method` parametrize and
`is_forking_spawner` fixture to `scope='session'`.
- `"""` -> `'''` docstring style throughout.
- hoist `_non_linux` to module scope (was redefined locally in two
places).
- type hints, kwarg-style `partial()` calls.

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.

unit test, `/proc/{cmdline,comm}` integration
test, negative detection test.

Extend `test_register_duplicate_name` w/ cancel-level log
breadcrumbs and `try/finally` for better diag on the cancel-cascade
hang.
Add `test_dup_name_cancel_cascade_escalates_to_hard_kill` as a
regression test for the TCP+MTF duplicate-name cancel-cascade
deadlock. Spawns N same-name actors, calls `an.cancel()`, and
asserts teardown completes within a `trio.fail_after()` budget that
scales w/ `n_dups`.
Deats,
- parametrize `n_dups` (2, 4, 8) to widen the race window for
concurrent `register_actor` RPCs.
- `n_dups=4` xfail'd — exposes a separate boot-race bug (doggy
`rc=2` under rapid same-name spawn), tracked in #456.
- post-teardown asserts all `Portal` chans disconnect, verifying
hard-kill escalation worked.

silent indefinite hang during the registrar handshake
(the actor could never connect to register/discover).
Also,

`ValueError` with expected msg content.

[claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
First draft at resolving,
https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/424
`tests.conftest.py.daemon()` previously used a blind
`time.sleep(_PROC_SPAWN_WAIT + uds_bonus + ci_bonus)` to "wait for the
daemon to come up" before yielding the proc to the test.
Two problems:
1. **Racy under load** — sleep is fixed at design time; loaded boxes
/ cold starts / fork-spawn cost spikes blow past it, leading to
`ConnectionRefusedError` /`OSError: connect failed` flakes in
`test_register_duplicate_name`.
2. **Wasteful when daemon comes up fast** — happy-path pays the FULL
sleep regardless. ~3s of dead time per fixture invocation, ~10-20s
per full suite run.
Replace with `_wait_for_daemon_ready()` — active poll via stdlib
`socket.create_connection` (TCP) or `socket.connect` (UDS) on the
daemon's bind addr, with 50ms backoff and a 10s/15s deadline (CI gets
extra headroom). Daemon-died-during-startup early-exit catches the case
where `_PROC_SPAWN_WAIT` was silently masking daemon startup crashes.
Why stdlib `socket` (Option 2 from the conc-anal doc) instead of
`tractor`'s own `_root.ping_tpt_socket` closure or trio?
- `tractor.run_daemon()` doesn't return from bootstrap until the runtime
is fully ready to handle IPC, so probing listen-side acceptance is
sufficient.
- no need to do the full IPC handshake just to validate readiness.
Sidesteps the `trio.run()` bootstrap cost (~50ms) per fixture too.
`claude`'s verification: 10/10 runs of `tests/test_multi_program.py`
pass on both `--tpt-proto=tcp` and `--tpt-proto=uds`. Per-test wall-time
`test_register_duplicate_name`: 4.31s → 1.10s. Full file: ~12s → 3.27s
per transport.

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.

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.

the signal — fixes a hierarchical-ordering race
where subs could dump ahead of the parent in the
muxed pty stream.

fork-based spawner (like `main_thread_forkserver`) is
detected; non-fork backends keep `--capture=fd`.
Also,
- load `tractor._testing.pytest` via `-p` in ini
(bc bootstrapping hooks must register before
conftest `pytest_plugins` runs).
- register `_reap` as sub-plugin via `pytest_plugins`
tuple in `._testing.pytest`.
- drop now-duplicate reap fixtures (already in `_reap`
per 1cdc7fb3).
- rename `tractor_enable_stackscope` dest -> `enable_stackscope`
and pop env var on disable.

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.

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).

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.

Mirror `060f7d24`'s pattern (backend-aware timeout in
`maybe_expect_raises`) for `test_dynamic_pub_sub`'s hard
`trio.fail_after` cap. Fork-based backends pay per-spawn
fork+IPC-handshake cost which stacks over `cpus - 1`
sequential `n.run_in_actor()` calls; empirically 12s
flakes on `main_thread_forkserver` under UDS
cross-pytest contention (#451 / #452).
Defaults:
- `main_thread_forkserver` → 30s
- everything else → 12s (unchanged)
Hoist the timeout-pick out of the `main()` closure so the
dispatch happens once in the trio task rather than
re-evaluating per spawn.

Default `timeout` from `int = 3` → `int|None = None`;
when unset, pick a backend-aware value. Fork-based
backends (`main_thread_forkserver`) need real headroom
bc actor spawn + IPC ctx-exit + msg-validation error
path is much heavier than under `trio` backend —
especially under cross-pytest-stream contention (#451).
Defaults:
- `main_thread_forkserver` → 30s
- everything else → 3s (unchanged)
Empirical flake history that motivated 30s as the floor
on fork backends (all from `test_basic_payload_spec`):
- 3s → all-valid variant flaked w/ `TooSlowError`
- 8s → `invalid-return` variant flaked w/ `Cancelled`
(surfaced instead of `MsgTypeError` bc the
outer `fail_after` fired mid-error-path)
- 15s → flaked under cross-pytest-stream contention
30s gives plenty of headroom while still failing-loud
on a genuine hang. Callers can opt out by passing an
explicit `timeout=` kw.

Drop `@pytest.mark.timeout(...)` for the per-test wall-clock
cap on `test_dynamic_pub_sub`; rely on `trio.fail_after(12)`
inside `main()` instead.
Both pytest-timeout enforcement modes are incompatible with
trio under fork-based backends:
- `method='signal'` (SIGALRM) synchronously raises `Failed`
in trio's main thread mid-`epoll.poll()`, leaving
`GLOBAL_RUN_CONTEXT` half-installed ("Trio guest run got
abandoned") so EVERY subsequent `trio.run()` in the same
pytest process bails with
`RuntimeError: Attempted to call run() from inside a run()`
— full-session poison.
- `method='thread'` calls `_thread.interrupt_main()` which
can let the KBI escape trio's `KIManager` under fork-
cascade teardown races and bubble out of pytest entirely
— kills the whole session.
`trio.fail_after()` keeps cancellation inside the trio loop:
- Raises `TooSlowError` cleanly through the open-nursery's
cancel cascade.
- Doesn't disturb any out-of-band signal/thread state.
- Failure stays scoped to the single test — no cross-test
global state corruption either way.
Verified empirically: 10 hammer-runs of `test_dynamic_pub_sub`
go from 5/10 fail (with global-state poison) to 3/10 fail
(no poison, all sibling tests still pass). The ~30%
remaining flake rate is a genuine fork-cancel-cascade
hang — separate from this fix but no longer contaminates.
Module-level NOTE comment explains the rationale so future
readers don't re-introduce the bug.

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.

Add `test_subint_forkserver_key_errors_cleanly` — a tn-tier
regression guard that pins down the variant-2 reservation
contract: the `'subint_forkserver'` key in
`_spawn._methods` MUST raise `NotImplementedError` today,
not silently dispatch to `main_thread_forkserver_proc`.
The transient alias-state existed briefly during the rename
(commit `57dae0e4`'s "Split forkserver backend into variant
1/2 mods" landed the alias; `5e83881f` flipped it to the
stub). Without a guard, a future refactor could easily
re-collapse the two keys back to a single coro and silently
break the variant-1 / variant-2 contract.
Also asserts the stub's error msg surfaces the two pointers
an operator hitting it actually needs:
- `'main_thread_forkserver'` — the working backend they
prolly meant,
- `'msgspec#1026'` — the upstream blocker that has to land
before variant-2 can ship.

After the variant-1 / variant-2 backend split, update remaining
string-match refs to the variant-1 backend so user-visible gates
+ skip-marks + comments name the working backend correctly:
- `tractor._root._DEBUG_COMPATIBLE_BACKENDS`: include
`main_thread_forkserver`, drop the stub-only `subint_forkserver`
entry.
- `tests/test_spawning.py::test_loglevel_propagated_to_subactor`:
capfd-skip flips to `main_thread_forkserver`.
- `tests/test_infected_asyncio.py::test_sigint_closes_lifetime_stack`:
xfail-condition flips to `main_thread_forkserver`.
- `tests/test_shm.py`: drop stale "broken on `main_thread_forkserver`"
reason-text since the `mp.SharedMemory(track=False)`
+ resource-tracker monkey-patch in `.ipc._mp_bs` makes the tests pass;
the skip-mark only fires on plain `subint` now.
- Comment / docstring sweep: `runtime._state`, `runtime._runtime`,
`_testing.pytest`, `_subint.py`, `pyproject.toml`,
`test_cancellation.py`, `test_registrar.py` — refs to variant-1
backend updated.

Rename `tests/spawn/test_subint_forkserver.py` →
`test_main_thread_forkserver.py` and migrate its imports +
internal refs to the new canonical names:
- `fork_from_worker_thread`, `wait_child` → from
`tractor.spawn._main_thread_forkserver`.
- `run_subint_in_worker_thread` → still from `_subint_forkserver`
(variant-2 primitive).
- Module docstring + tier-3 fixture + the `*_spawn_basic` test fn
renamed for variant-1-honesty.
- Orphan-harness subprocess argv flipped from `'subint_forkserver'`
→ `'main_thread_forkserver'`.
`ai/conc-anal/subint_fork_from_main_thread_smoketest.py` imports split
the same way.
`tractor/spawn/_subint_forkserver.py` drops the backward- compat
re-exports of the fork primitives — the only consumers (test file
+ smoketest) now import from `_main_thread_forkserver` directly.

Reduce `_subint_forkserver.py` to its variant-2 placeholder shape:
- Add `subint_forkserver_proc` async stub raising `NotImplementedError`
with a redirect msg pointing at the working variant-1 backend
(`main_thread_forkserver`), jcrist/msgspec#1026 (upstream PEP 684
blocker), and #379 (subint umbrella).
- `tractor.spawn._spawn._methods['subint_forkserver']` now dispatches to
the stub instead of aliasing the variant-1 coroutine
— `--spawn-backend=subint_forkserver` errors cleanly.
- Drop now-dead module-scope: `ChildSigintMode`
/ `_DEFAULT_CHILD_SIGINT` defs, `_has_subints` try/except (replaced
with import from `._subint`), unused imports (`partial`, `Literal`,
`sys`, msgtypes/pretty_struct, `current_actor`,
`cancel_on_completion`/`soft_kill`, `_server` TYPE_CHECKING).
- Backward-compat re-exports of fork primitives kept until the follow-up
commit migrates external test imports.
- `tests/spawn/test_subint_forkserver.py::forkserver_spawn_method`
fixture: flip hardcoded `'subint_forkserver'`
→ `'main_thread_forkserver'` so the test still exercises the working
backend (full file rename comes in the test-import migration commit).

Same wire-up pattern as the prior `test_dynamic_pub_sub`
commit: each test that already pulled in `debug_mode`
now also pulls in `reg_addr` and passes
`registry_addrs=[reg_addr]` into `tractor.open_nursery()`,
so the suite's standard registry-addr conventions apply.
Tests touched:
- `test_started_misuse`
- `test_simple_context`
- `test_parent_cancels`
- `test_one_end_stream_not_opened`
- `test_maybe_allow_overruns_stream`
- `test_ctx_with_self_actor`
(this commit msg was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh])
[claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Pull in the `reg_addr`, `debug_mode`, and `test_log`
fixtures so this test follows the same conventions as
the rest of the suite:
- pass `registry_addrs=[reg_addr]` + `debug_mode` into
`tractor.open_nursery()` (so `--tpdb` etc work).
- after the `pytest.raises` block, add `assert err` +
`test_log.exception('Timed out AS EXPECTED')` so the
expected timeout is logged explicitly instead of
swallowed.
Also,
- drop whitespace-only blank lines around the
`subs` param of `consumer()` and `ctx` param of
`one_task_streams_and_one_handles_reqresp()`.
- promote `test_sigint_both_stream_types`'s one-line
docstring to multi-line form.

Seems that when run in-suite it delays more then the so-measured "happy
path" timing; better to have no suite-global interruption then asserting
a fast single test's run.
Implements the resolution described in c99d475d's
`subint_forkserver_mp_shared_memory_issue.md` (now
updated with the resolution post-mortem). Two-part
fix that side-steps `mp.resource_tracker` entirely
rather than try to make it fork-safe — turns out
that's both simpler AND more correct given tractor
already SC-manages allocation lifetimes.
Deats,
- `tractor/ipc/_mp_bs.py::disable_mantracker()`: drop the
`platform.python_version_tuple()[:-1] >= ('3', '13')` branch — patches
now run unconditionally:
* monkey-patch `mp.resource_tracker. _resource_tracker` to a no-op
`ManTracker` subclass (empty `register` / `unregister`
/ `ensure_running`).
* return `partial(SharedMemory, track=False)` for the per-allocation
opt-out.
* belt + suspenders: even if something dodges the wrapper, the
singleton can't talk to the inherited (broken) parent fd.
- `tractor/ipc/_shm.py::open_shm_list()`: drop the 3.13+ conditional
skip of the unlink-callback; install a `try_unlink()` wrapper that
swallows `FileNotFoundError` (sibling-already-cleaned race in
shared-key setups). Without `mp.resource_tracker` doing it for us, we
own the unlink — `actor. lifetime_stack` is the right place since
tractor already controls actor lifecycle.
- `tests/test_shm.py`: uncomment-out `subint_forkserver` from the
module-level skip- list (tests pass now). Inline comment cross-refs
the two `_mp_bs` / `_shm` workarounds.
- `ai/conc-anal/subint_forkserver_mp_shared_memory_ issue.md`: heavy
rewrite — flips status from "open / unresolvable in tractor" to
"resolved, kept as decision record". Adds Resolution section, "Why
this is the right call" rationale (mp tracker is widely criticized;
tractor already owns lifecycle), trade-offs (crash-leaked segments,
lost mp leak warning), verification (7 passed under both
`subint_forkserver` and `trio` backends), and upstream issue links

New `ai/conc-anal/` doc: `mp.SharedMemory` is
fork-without-exec unsafe — child inherits parent's
`resource_tracker` fd → EBADF on first shm op;
leaked `/shm_list` cascades `FileExistsError`
across parametrize variants. Canonical CPython
issue class, NOT a tractor bug. Includes two
longer-term mitigation paths (reset inherited
tracker fd vs migrate off `mp.shared_memory`).
Also, update `tests/test_shm.py`:
- comment out `subint_forkserver` from skip list
- rewrite reason with precise failure-mode
descriptions + link to the analysis doc

Re-classify `test_orphaned_subactor_sigint_cleanup_DRAFT` from
flakey-env-sensitive (`strict=False` w/ "passes in isolation, flakey in
full suite") to a hard known-gap (`strict=True`) with the orphan-SIGINT
hang as the documented cause. The previous framing ("env pollution") let
the test silently pass when ordering happened to favor it; the new
framing forces an XPASS-as-FAIL the moment the underlying gap is
actually closed, so we can drop the mark intentionally instead of
accidentally.
Reason text + leading `# Known-gap test —` comment both point at

Continues the hygiene pattern from de601676 (cancel tests) into
`tests/test_infected_asyncio.py`: many tests here were calling
`tractor.open_nursery()` w/o `registry_addrs=[reg_addr]` and thus racing
on the default `:1616` registry across sessions. Thread the
session-unique `reg_addr` through so leaked or slow-to-teardown
subactors from a prior test can't cross-pollute.
Deats,
- add `registry_addrs=[reg_addr]` to `open_nursery()`
calls in suite where missing.
- `test_sigint_closes_lifetime_stack`:
- add `reg_addr`, `debug_mode`, `start_method`
fixture params
- `delay` now reads the `debug_mode` param directly
instead of calling `tractor.debug_mode()` (fires
slightly earlier in the test lifecycle)
- sanity assert `if debug_mode: assert
tractor.debug_mode()` after nursery open
- new print showing SIGINT target
(`send_sigint_to` + resolved pid)
- catch `trio.TooSlowError` around
`ctx.wait_for_result()` and conditionally
`pytest.xfail` when `send_sigint_to == 'child'
and start_method == 'subint_forkserver'` — the
known orphan-SIGINT limitation tracked in
`ai/conc-anal/subint_forkserver_orphan_sigint_hang_issue.md`
- parametrize id typo fix: `'just_trio_slee'` → `'just_trio_sleep'`
