Prevent unsafe harness guidance from sending SIGUSR1 before
`stackscope` installs its handler or using shared-memory scans on
unsupported platforms.
Deats,
- verify `stackscope` in the pytest env before signaling.
- target pytest by default and require a separately verified handler
before signaling subactors.
- keep `tractor-reap --shm*` guidance to Linux and FreeBSD.
- pin staged Prompt-IO provenance to `eb3c99c9` and record the

everything, remove the API; the migration-pattern table

`collapse_eg()` chain collapse vs the old teardown-reap BEG),
the excision inventory and the structural dissolution of the
reap-hang class.
- adds the `to_actor.open_one_shot()` follow-up sketch: an
`@acm` + private task-nursery over the existing blocking
`run()` — done-`trio.Event` as a result memo (NOT a
cancel-relay), no `Portal` in the iface, errors always

Convention sweep (user req): all `tractor.open_nursery()`
bindings in test + example code use `an: ActorNursery` (`n`,
`nursery` + several tractor-nurseries confusingly named `tn`
are renamed); `trio.open_nursery()` bindings stay `tn` (incl.
`concurrent_actors_primes.py`'s inner trio nursery, renamed
`n` -> `tn` to match).
Purely mechanical, function-scoped renames — prose "nursery"/
"an" in docstrings/comments untouched; func-arg kwargs like
`portal.run(func, n=value)` untouched.

The `test_trynamic_trio` + `a_trynamic_first_scene.py` migration
to paired `to_actor.run()` one-shots carries a race the legacy
`run_in_actor()` shape never had: donny + gretchen each
`wait_for_actor()` (then DIAL) the *other*, but a one-shot is
reaped the instant its own hello returns — so the slower peer
can resolve the winner's registry entry and connect to an
already-dead sockaddr -> `ConnectionRefusedError` boxed as a
`RemoteActorError` (or a reg-wait `TooSlowError`), flaking
~1-in-3 standalone runs.
Mutual-rendezvous peers must OUTLIVE both dialogs, so pin the
lifetimes explicitly: `start_actor()` both as daemons, run both
hellos concurrently via bg `Portal.run()` tasks, then reap with
`an.cancel()` only after the task-nursery joins. (The legacy
teardown-reap provided this pinning implicitly — one of the
few places its semantics were ever actually relied upon.)
Gate: `-k trynamic` standalone x8 green (was flaking); full
`test_registrar` module + the example-runner green.

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

The `_pubsub.pub` decorator's usage example predates several API
generations: ancient positional-arg-order `run_in_actor()` (a
missing `await` too) plus the deprecated `portal.result()` — and
`run_in_actor()` never allowed streaming funcs anyway. Show the
canonical `start_actor()` + `Portal.open_stream_from()`
consumption instead (#477 removal sweep).

The 8-page docs sweep of the #477 removal, ahead of the API's
excision,
- `start/quickstart.rst`: the first-actor-tree walkthrough now
narrates the (migrated) `to_actor.run()` example — no portal
in hand until the daemon section introduces `start_actor()`.
- `guide/spawning.rst`: the one-shot section becomes
`to_actor.run()` (blocking call, placement opts, "built on the
primitives" note); lifetime/teardown rules update — one-shots
never make it to nursery exit since each is reaped inside its
own call.
- `guide/rpc.rst`: the `wait_for_result()` section (an API that
dies with the reap cluster, incl. the `NoResult` sentinel)
becomes a `to_actor.run()` one-shot section.
- `api/core.rst`: drop `run_in_actor`/`wait_for_result` from the
autodoc member lists, drop the `Portal.result()` deprecation
note, add a "One-shot task actors" `tractor.to_actor.run`
autodoc section.
- `guide/{asyncio,context,cancellation,parallelism}.rst`:
mention swaps to the successor API.

renders in `api/core.html`.

The known-flaky dynamic pubsub test's 3 fire-and-forget spawn
sites (#477 removal),
- the forever-streaming `publisher` + N `consumer` one-shots now
bg-schedule as `to_actor.run(fn, an=n)` tasks in a local `trio`
task-nursery (`publisher`'s rendezvous name still derives from
`fn.__name__`).
- the simulated user-cancel raise (`KeyboardInterrupt` /
`TooSlowError` params) cancels the task-nursery, each one-shot
reaping its subactor via `to_actor.run()`'s shielded
`Portal.cancel_actor()`; `_run_and_match()`'s existing
`BaseExceptionGroup.split()` walk covers the (possibly nested)
relay shapes unchanged.
- spawns now issue concurrently rather than sequentially —
comment on the fork-backend budget updated to match.
Gate: both params x4 runs green on `trio` + x1 on `mp_spawn`;
full module green.

Final `test_cancellation.py` group of the `run_in_actor` removal
(#477) — cancel-mechanics tests, so clean conversions,
- `test_cancel_via_SIGINT_other_task`: the 3 keep-alive
`run_in_actor(sleep_forever)` one-shots become plain
`start_actor()` daemons (an idle daemon needs no "main" task,
and no longer shares a single dup'd `namesucka` name).
- `spawn_sub_with_sync_blocking_task`: the middle layer's spawn
becomes a blocking `to_actor.run(spin_for, an=an)` which parks
awaiting the sync-sleeping grandchild's result until cancelled
from above.
- `test_cancel_while_childs_child_in_sync_sleep`: the
fire-and-forget middle-actor spawn becomes a bg
`to_actor.run()` task in a local task-nursery; the root's
`assert 0` cancels it, driving the same
graceful-cancel-then-zombie-reap cascade on the sync-blocked
grandchild. The `man_cancel_outer` xfail param is unchanged.
Zero live `run_in_actor()` call-sites remain in this suite.
Gate: full `test_cancellation.py` module green on both `trio`
(18p/1xf) + `mp_spawn` (18p/1xf).

Third `test_cancellation.py` group of the `run_in_actor` removal
(#477),
- `spawn_and_error` fans out each level's erroring one-shots as
concurrent `to_actor.run(fn, an=an)` tasks in a local `trio`
task-nursery (recursing per spawner subactor), as does the
test-body's top-level spawner loop.
- the deterministic exact-breadth nested-BEG shape dies with the
legacy teardown-reap: each level now groups whatever subset of
sub-tree errors relay before the first one's cancel wins, and
a single-member group gets unwrapped by the runtime's own
`collapse_eg()` at every actor boundary — so a fully-raced
tree relays a bare `RemoteActorError` chain.
- loosen the shape walk accordingly: accept a lone
`RemoteActorError` or a 1..breadth group whose members box
`ExceptionGroup` (multi-relay), `AssertionError` (collapsed
leaf chain), `RemoteActorError` (re-boxed collapsed chain) or
`BaseExceptionGroup` (runtime reap-deadline `Cancelled`
upgrade); fold the windows-only tolerances into the same walk.
- raced sibling `trio.Cancelled`s are now ABSORBED by the
task-nursery instead of landing in the group, so the MTF
shape-mismatch xfail should consistently xpass — note added to
drop the marker once CI confirms.
- add an `else: pytest.fail()` so a silently-clean tree can no
longer pass.
Gate: both depths green on `trio` (10 consecutive runs) +
`mp_spawn`.

`test_nested_multierrors`'s backend/depth budget `match` only
carries arms for the `trio` + `main_thread_forkserver` spawn
backends, so running under any other (e.g. `mp_spawn`) leaves
`timeout` unbound and crashes with an `UnboundLocalError` at the
headroom-scaling below. Add default per-depth arms riding the MTF
budgets (same per-spawn round-trip cost class).

Second `test_cancellation.py` group of the `run_in_actor` removal
(#477),
- one-shot subactors now run as concurrent `to_actor.run(fn,
an=an)` tasks in a local `trio` task-nursery, so their errors
raise WHILE the actor-nursery block is open (vs the legacy
teardown-reap) and the first error cancels sibling one-shots.
- wrap the task-nursery in `collapse_eg()` so the deterministic
single-error cases still surface a bare `RemoteActorError`.
- loosen the group-shape assertion: the relay-vs-cancel race
populates anywhere from 1 to `num_actors` `RemoteActorError`s
(the exact-`num_actors` BEG was `run_in_actor`'s
reap-all-at-teardown); group members are always
`RemoteActorError` now since sibling `trio.Cancelled`s are
absorbed by the task-nursery.
- move the daemon-portal call loop inside the task-nursery body
so the sleep-forever one-shot case is cancelled by the daemon
error raise.
- rename the `*run_in_actor*` param ids to `*one_shot*`.
Gate: 6 passed on both `trio` + `mp_spawn` backends.

Append two sections to the ria-removal plan capturing the
2026-07-02 hang episode + the resulting design pivot.
Regression writeup: the full-suite hang on
`test_tractor_cancels_aio` root-caused to the step-A reaper
hoist (`5cd190c5`), not the B2 handler merge. The happy-path
`_reap_ria_portals()` parks unbounded on `wait_for_result()`
after a user `portal.cancel_actor()`; the old spawn-backend
reaper raced `soft_kill()`'s scope-cancel, the hoist dropped
it. Records the `proc.poll()` death-watch fix + why poll (not
the event `wait_func`) bc `soft_kill` already awaits
`proc.sentinel` (a 2nd `wait_readable` -> `BusyResourceError`).
Pause writeup: user's insight that the hoist landed in the
wrong scope — result-waiting belongs in the `to_actor`
one-shot scope (`_invoke_in_subactor()`), beside `an` + a
local task-nursery + cancel-scope, where bounding the wait is
trivial + the hang dissolves. So the poll fix is likely
SUPERSEDED (flagged do-not-land); the anti-hang guard commit
(`d1fb4a1a`) stays red-first per the failing-test convention.

First group of the `test_cancellation.py` `run_in_actor` removal
(#477),
- `test_remote_error` -> blocking `to_actor.run()` (single erroring
one-shot; a bad-arg `TypeError` still relays as a
`RemoteActorError`).
- `test_multierror` -> concurrent fan-out via
`gather_contexts([p.open_context(assert_err_ctx) ...])` over
`start_actor()` portals. NB `gather_contexts` is cancel-on-first
so the 2nd errorer is usually cancelled before relaying its own
exc and the pair collapses to a single `RemoteActorError` (vs the
legacy reap-all-at-teardown `BEG`-of-N) — the assertion now
accepts either shape.
- delete `test_multierror_fast_nursery` — a 25-actor stress test of
`run_in_actor`'s teardown-reap; no analogous surface under the
`to_actor` fan-out.
- add an `assert_err_ctx` `@context` shim for the `open_context`
fan-out.
Remaining `test_cancellation` groups (some_cancels_all, nested,
SIGINT, sync-blocking) still on `run_in_actor` — ported next.

Two sites migrated (#477 removal),
- `test_trynamic_trio`: donny + gretchen each wait on the *other*
to register, so they must run CONCURRENTLY — was two
non-blocking `run_in_actor()`s awaited after; now two
`to_actor.run()` one-shots scheduled into a local `trio`
task-nursery.
- the unregister-on-cancel cluster test: its non-streaming branch
spawned `run_in_actor(trio.sleep_forever)` purely to keep each
subactor alive + registered — a `start_actor()` daemon does that
without a "main" task, so the spawn loop collapses to the same
`start_actor()` the streaming branch already used.

`test_multi_actor_subs_arbiter_pub` used `run_in_actor()` to spawn
two forever-ish subscriber actors and hold their portals for a
later `cancel_actor()` (its `.result()` was commented out exactly
because `subs()` never cleanly returns). That deferred-spawn +
cancel shape isn't a blocking `to_actor.run()`, so convert to the
successor primitives (#477 removal),
- `start_actor()` per subscriber — keeps the portal for the
existing `cancel_actor()` teardown,
- run `subs()` on each via a background `Portal.run()` task in a
local `trio` nursery so both subscribe concurrently with the
test's `wait_for_actor` / topic checks,
- each bg runner swallows the `RemoteActorError`/`ContextCancelled`
that `cancel_actor()` relays; a trailing `tn.cancel_scope.cancel()`
drops any lingering runner.

removal),
- rename the two API-named tests to `test_to_actor_run_*`
(`same_func_in_child`, `can_skip_parent_main_inheritance`) —
they exercise the same spawn / `inherit_parent_main` path via
the successor API.
- the recursive `spawn()` helper drops its white-box
`an._children` / portal-`_peers` asserts (which probed
`run_in_actor`'s portal + nursery-tracking internals);
`to_actor.run()` returns the result and reaps internally, so
keep the user-facing `result == 10` check.
- `test_most_beautiful_word` drops the 2nd `wait_for_result()`
(the legacy result-cache re-fetch) — `to_actor.run()` delivers
the value once, no cache.

Sole call-site: an inlined `run_in_actor(...).result()` ->
blocking `tractor.to_actor.run(fn, an=an, ...)` (#477 removal).
Behaviour identical — the one-shot's result/error is awaited
in the caller's task rather than reaped at nursery teardown;
the enclosing `move_on_after` still cancels the sub in the
`error_in_child=False` case.

First test-file of the #477 `.run_in_actor()` removal (blocking
`to_actor.run()` is the successor; the legacy non-blocking one-shot
is dropped, not replaced). All 9 call-sites migrated,
- blocking result/error/streaming-result tests -> `to_actor.run(fn,
an=an, ...)`; the "streaming" ones stream aio<->trio INSIDE the
subactor so the caller only awaits the final result.
- forever-task + cancel tests (`test_tractor_cancels_aio`,
`test_trio_cancels_aio`) -> `start_actor()` +
`Portal.open_context()` + cancel — can't block on a
never-returning task. Adds a small `sleep_forever_aio_ctx`
`@context` shim.
- greens the red `test_tractor_cancels_aio` anti-hang guard from
the prior commit: under the correctly-scoped API the wait is
bounded by the caller's cancel scope, so the hang is structurally
gone — not patched.
Suite: 34 passed, 2 xfailed (trio backend).

Wrap `test_tractor_cancels_aio`'s `main()` in a
`trio.fail_after(9 * cpu_perf_headroom())` so a wedged remote
runtime can't hang the test forever. This is the blessed
anti-hang guard here bc `pytest-timeout`'s global cap is
intentionally off (it breaks `trio` under the fork backends,
per the `pyproject` NOTE).
The cap is generous + CPU-headroom-scaled bc it's an anti-hang
guard, not a perf assertion. Motivated by the
`._ria_nursery`-removal regression where a wedged ria-reaper
once hung this exact test indefinitely.

Step B2 of the `._ria_nursery` removal (issue #477; see
`ai/conc-anal/ria_nursery_removal_plan.md`). With the 2ndary
nursery gone (step B), the two nested error handlers in
`_open_and_supervise_one_cancels_all_nursery` collapse to one,
- the outer `except (Exception, BaseExceptionGroup,
trio.Cancelled)` existed to catch errors bubbling from the
old `._ria_nursery.__aexit__` reaper-group; that nursery no
longer exists.
- trace shows the outer handler's `raise` was already DEAD: the
inner handler records `errors[uid]` as its first action, so
`errors` is always non-empty by the time anything could reach
the outer handler, and the `finally`'s raise-from-`errors`
always superseded the outer `raise`.
- so fold both into a single `except BaseException as
_scope_err` guarding the lone daemon nursery; the `finally`
(unchanged) still raises the collected `errors` as a single
exc or `BaseExceptionGroup`.
- drop the now-unused `outer_err`/`inner_err` locals.
Behaviour-preserving (net ~30 lines lighter); the big diff is
the one-level de-indent of the handler body. The two remaining
`maybe_wait_for_debugger()` guards collapse to the single
pre-teardown wait.

Step B of the `._ria_nursery` removal (issue #477; see
`ai/conc-anal/ria_nursery_removal_plan.md`). With step A having
rerouted `.run_in_actor()` children onto the daemon nursery,
the 2ndary "run-in-actor" nursery spawns nothing and its stored
ref is never read — pure dead weight,
- collapse the inner `async with trio.open_nursery() as
ria_nursery` layer in
`_open_and_supervise_one_cancels_all_nursery`; `da_nursery` is
now the single nursery for ALL subactors.
- `ActorNursery.__init__` loses the `ria_nursery` param + the
`self._ria_nursery` attr; `start_actor()` loses its `nursery=`
escape-hatch (spawns via `self._da_nursery` directly).
- `._cancel_after_result_on_exit` stays — still the ria-child
discriminator for `_reap_ria_portals()`.
Behavior-preserving: a zero-task `trio.open_nursery()` only adds
a checkpoint. The two error handlers are KEPT (now nested under
the single nursery); merging them changes error/cancel
propagation and is deferred to its own PR (TODO left at the
outer `except`).

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

Match the cancellation guide, `Portal.cancel_actor()` contract and
duplicate-name regression comments to the actor-nursery impl: a failed
bounded cancel request escalates directly to `proc.kill()`.
Keep the older terminate-then-kill path documented separately for its
remaining legacy callers.

Remaining review threads requested clearer scheduling intent, result
ownership and Portal RPC usage across the migrated examples, plus a
more descriptive concurrent-primes filename.
Explain the relevant example boundaries, fix the transport typo, expand
the local helper signature and rename the live primes example and guide
reference while preserving historical Prompt-IO paths.
