Two coordinated improvements to the `subint_forkserver` backend:
1. Replace `trio.to_thread.run_sync(os.waitpid, ...,
abandon_on_cancel=False)` in `_ForkedProc.wait()`
with `trio.lowlevel.wait_readable(pidfd)`. The
prior version blocked a trio cache thread on a
sync syscall — outer cancel scopes couldn't
unwedge it when something downstream got stuck.
Same pattern `trio.Process.wait()` and
`proc_waiter` (the mp backend) already use.
2. Drop the `@pytest.mark.xfail(strict=True)` from
`test_orphaned_subactor_sigint_cleanup_DRAFT` —
the test now PASSES after 0cd0b633 (fork-child
FD scrub). Same root cause as the nested-cancel
hang: inherited IPC/trio FDs were poisoning the
child's event loop. Closing them lets SIGINT
propagation work as designed.
Deats,
- `_ForkedProc.__init__` opens a pidfd via
`os.pidfd_open(pid)` (Linux 5.3+, Python 3.9+)
- `wait()` parks on `trio.lowlevel.wait_readable()`,
then non-blocking `waitpid(WNOHANG)` to collect
the exit status (correct since the pidfd signal
IS the child-exit notification)
- `ChildProcessError` swallow handles the rare race
where someone else reaps first
- pidfd closed after `wait()` completes (one-shot
semantics) + `__del__` belt-and-braces for
unexpected-teardown paths
- test docstring's `@xfail` block replaced with a
`# NOTE` comment explaining the historical
context + cross-ref to the conc-anal doc; test
remains in place as a regression guard
The two changes are interdependent — the
cancellable `wait()` matters for the same nested-
cancel scenarios the FD scrub fixes, since the
original deadlock had trio cache workers wedged in
`os.waitpid` swallowing the outer cancel.

(cherry picked from commit c20b05e181)
Implements fix-direction (1)/blunt-close-all-FDs from
b71705bd (`subint_forkserver` nested-cancel hang
diag), targeting the multi-level cancel-cascade
deadlock in
`test_nested_multierrors[subint_forkserver]`.
The diagnosis doc voted for surgical FD cleanup via
`actor.ipc_server` handle as the cleanest approach,
but going blunt is actually the right call: after
`os.fork()`, the child immediately enters
`_actor_child_main()` which opens its OWN IPC
sockets / wakeup-fd / epoll-fd / etc. — none of the
parent's FDs are needed. Closing everything except
stdio is safe AND defends against future
listener/IPC additions to the parent inheriting
silently into children.
Deats,
- new `_close_inherited_fds(keep={0,1,2}) -> int`
helper. Linux fast-path enumerates `/proc/self/fd`;
POSIX fallback uses `RLIMIT_NOFILE` range. Matches
the stdlib `subprocess._posixsubprocess.close_fds`
strategy. Returns close-count for sanity logging
- wire into `fork_from_worker_thread._worker()`'s
post-fork child prelude — runs immediately after
the pid-pipe `os.close(rfd/wfd)`, before the user
`child_target` callable executes
- docstring cross-refs the diagnosis doc + spells
out the FD-inheritance-cascade mechanism and why
the close-all approach is safe for our spawn shape
Validation pending: re-run `test_nested_multierrors[subint_forkserver]`
to confirm the deadlock is gone.

Major rewrite of
`subint_forkserver_test_cancellation_leak_issue.md`
after empirical investigation revealed the earlier
"descendant-leak + missing tree-kill" diagnosis
conflated two unrelated symptoms:
1. **5-zombie leak holding `:1616`** — turned out to
be a self-inflicted cleanup bug: `pkill`-ing a bg
pytest task (SIGTERM/SIGKILL, no SIGINT) skipped
the SC graceful cancel cascade entirely. Codified
the real fix — SIGINT-first ladder w/ bounded
wait before SIGKILL — in e5e2afb5 (`run-tests`
SKILL) and
`feedback_sc_graceful_cancel_first.md`.
2. **`test_nested_multierrors[subint_forkserver]`
hangs indefinitely** — the actual backend bug,
and it's a deadlock not a leak.
Deats,
- new diagnosis: all 5 procs are kernel-`S` in
`do_epoll_wait`; pytest-main's trio-cache workers
are in `os.waitpid` waiting for children that are
themselves waiting on IPC that never arrives —
graceful `Portal.cancel_actor` cascade never
reaches its targets
- tree-structure evidence: asymmetric depth across
two identical `run_in_actor` calls — child 1
(3 threads) spawns both its grandchildren; child 2
(1 thread) never completes its first nursery
`run_in_actor`. Smells like a race on fork-
inherited state landing differently per spawn
ordering
- new hypothesis: `os.fork()` from a subactor
inherits the ROOT parent's IPC listener FDs
transitively. Grandchildren end up with three
overlapping FD sets (own + direct-parent + root),
so IPC routing becomes ambiguous. Predicts bug
scales with fork depth — matches reality: single-
level spawn works, multi-level hangs
- ruled out: `_ForkedProc.kill()` tree-kill (never
reaches hard-kill path), `:1616` contention (fixed
by `reg_addr` fixture wiring), GIL starvation
(each subactor has its own OS process+GIL),
child-side KBI absorption (`_trio_main` only
catches KBI at `trio.run()` callsite, reached
only on trio-loop exit)
- four fix directions ranked: (1) blanket post-fork
`closerange()`, (2) `FD_CLOEXEC` + audit,
(3) targeted FD cleanup via `actor.ipc_server`
handle, (4) `os.posix_spawn` w/ `file_actions`.
Vote: (3) — surgical, doesn't break the "no exec"
design of `subint_forkserver`
- standalone repro added (`spawn_and_error(breadth=
2, depth=1)` under `trio.fail_after(20)`)
- stopgap: skip `test_nested_multierrors` + multi-
level-spawn tests under the backend via
`@pytest.mark.skipon_spawn_backend(...)` until
fix lands
Killing the "tree-kill descendants" fix-direction
section: it addressed a bug that didn't exist.

New `ai/conc-anal/
subint_forkserver_test_cancellation_leak_issue.md`
captures a descendant-leak surfaced while wiring
`subint_forkserver` into the full test matrix:
running `tests/test_cancellation.py` under
`--spawn-backend=subint_forkserver` reproducibly
leaks **exactly 5** `subint-forkserv` comm-named
child processes that survive session exit, each
holding a `LISTEN` on `:1616` (the tractor default
registry addr) — and therefore poisons every
subsequent test session that defaults to that addr.
Deats,
- TL;DR + ruled-out checks confirming the procs are
ours (not piker / other tractor-embedding apps) —
`/proc/$pid/cmdline` + cwd both resolve to this
repo's `py314/` venv
- root cause: `_ForkedProc.kill()` is PID-scoped
(plain `os.kill(SIGKILL)` to the direct child),
not tree-scoped — grandchildren spawned during a
multi-level cancel test get reparented to init and
inherit the registry listen socket
- proposed fix directions ranked: (1) put each
forkserver-spawned subactor in its own process-
group (`os.setpgrp()` in fork-child) + tree-kill
via `os.killpg(pgid, SIGKILL)` on teardown,
(2) `PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER` on root, (3) explicit
`/proc/<pid>/task/*/children` walk. Vote: (1) —
POSIX-standard, aligns w/ `start_new_session=True`
semantics in `subprocess.Popen` / trio's
`open_process`
- inline reproducer + cleanup recipe scoped to
`$(pwd)/py314/bin/python.*pytest.*spawn-backend=
subint_forkserver` so cleanup doesn't false-flag
unrelated tractor procs (consistent w/
`run-tests` skill's zombie-check guidance)
Stopgap hygiene fix (wiring `reg_addr` through the 5
leaky tests in `test_cancellation.py`) is incoming as
a follow-up — that one stops the blast radius, but
zombies still accumulate per-run until the real
tree-kill fix lands.

Follow-up to 72d1b901 (was prev commit adding `debug_mode` for
`subint_forkserver`): that commit wired the runtime-side
`subint_forkserver` SpawnSpec-recv gate in `Actor._from_parent`, but the
`subint_forkserver_proc` child-target was still passing
`spawn_method='trio'` to `_trio_main` — so `Actor.pformat()` / log lines
would report the subactor as plain `'trio'` instead of the actual
parent-side spawn mechanism. Flip the label to `'subint_forkserver'`.

(cherry picked from commit e31eb8d7c9)
Empirical follow-up to the xfail'd orphan-SIGINT test:
the hang is **not** "trio can't install a handler on a
non-main thread" (the original hypothesis from the
`child_sigint` scaffold commit). On py3.14:
- `threading.current_thread() is threading.main_thread()`
IS True post-fork — CPython re-designates the
fork-inheriting thread as "main" correctly
- trio's `KIManager` SIGINT handler IS installed in the
subactor (`signal.getsignal(SIGINT)` confirms)
- the kernel DOES deliver SIGINT to the thread
But `faulthandler` dumps show the subactor wedged in
`trio/_core/_io_epoll.py::get_events` — trio's
wakeup-fd mechanism (which turns SIGINT into an epoll-wake)
isn't firing. So the `except KeyboardInterrupt` at
`tractor/spawn/_entry.py::_trio_main:164` — the runtime's
intentional "KBI-as-OS-cancel" path — never fires.
Deats,
- new `ai/conc-anal/subint_forkserver_orphan_sigint_hang_issue.md`
(+385 LOC): full writeup — TL;DR, symptom reproducer,
the "intentional cancel path" the bug defeats,
diagnostic evidence (`faulthandler` output +
`getsignal` probe), ruled-out hypotheses
(non-main-thread issue, wakeup-fd inheritance,
KBI-as-trio-check-exception), and fix directions
- `test_orphaned_subactor_sigint_cleanup_DRAFT` xfail
`reason` + test docstring rewritten to match the
refined understanding — old wording blamed the
non-main-thread path, new wording points at the
`epoll_wait` wedge + cross-refs the new conc-anal doc
- `_subint_forkserver` module docstring's
`child_sigint='trio'` bullet updated: now notes trio's
handler is already correctly installed, so the flag may
end up a no-op / doc-only mode once the real root cause
is fixed
Closing the gap aligns with existing design intent (make
the already-designed "KBI-as-OS-cancel" behavior actually
fire), not a new feature.

(cherry picked from commit a72deef709)
Add configuration surface for future child-side SIGINT
plumbing in `subint_forkserver_proc` without wiring up the
actual trio-native SIGINT bridge — lifting one entry-guard
clause will flip the `'trio'` branch live once the
underlying fork-prelude plumbing is implemented.
Deats,
- new `ChildSigintMode = Literal['ipc', 'trio']` type +
`_DEFAULT_CHILD_SIGINT = 'ipc'` module-level default.
Docstring block enumerates both:
- `'ipc'` (default, currently the only implemented mode):
no child-side SIGINT handler — `trio.run()` is on the
fork-inherited non-main thread where
`signal.set_wakeup_fd()` is main-thread-only, so
cancellation flows exclusively via the parent's
`Portal.cancel_actor()` IPC path. Known gap: orphan
children don't respond to SIGINT
(`test_orphaned_subactor_sigint_cleanup_DRAFT`)
- `'trio'` (scaffolded only): manual SIGINT → trio-cancel
bridge in the fork-child prelude so external Ctrl-C
reaches stuck grandchildren even w/ a dead parent
- `subint_forkserver_proc` pulls `child_sigint` out of
`proc_kwargs` (matches how `trio_proc` threads config to
`open_process`, keeps `start_actor(proc_kwargs=...)` as
the ergonomic entry point); validates membership + raises
`NotImplementedError` for `'trio'` at the backend-entry
guard
- `_child_target` grows a `match child_sigint:` arm that
slots in the future `'trio'` impl without restructuring
— today only the `'ipc'` case is reachable
- module docstring "Still-open work" list grows a bullet
pointing at this config + the xfail'd orphan-SIGINT test
No behavioral change on the default path — `'ipc'` is the
existing flow. Scaffolding only.

Tier-4 test `test_orphaned_subactor_sigint_cleanup_DRAFT`
documents an empirical SIGINT-delivery gap in the
`subint_forkserver` backend: when the parent dies via
`SIGKILL` (no IPC `Portal.cancel_actor()` possible) and
`SIGINT` is sent to the orphan child, the child DOES NOT
unwind — CPython's default `KeyboardInterrupt` is delivered
to `threading.main_thread()`, whose tstate is dead in the
post-fork child bc fork inherited the worker thread, not
main. Trio running on the fork-inherited worker thread
therefore never observes the signal. Marked
`xfail(strict=True)` so the mark flips to XPASS→fail once
the backend grows explicit SIGINT plumbing.
Deats,
- harness runs the failure-mode sequence out-of-process:
1. harness subprocess runs a fresh Python script
that calls `try_set_start_method('subint_forkserver')`
then opens a root actor + one `sleep_forever` subactor
2. parse `PARENT_READY=<pid>` + `CHILD_PID=<pid>` markers
off harness `stdout` to confirm IPC handshake
completed
3. `SIGKILL` the parent, `proc.wait()` to reap the
zombie (otherwise `os.kill(pid, 0)` keeps reporting
it alive)
4. assert the child survived the parent-reap (i.e. was
actually orphaned, not reaped too) before moving on
5. `SIGINT` the orphan child, poll `os.kill(child_pid, 0)`
every 100ms for up to 10s
- supporting helpers: `_read_marker()` with per-proc
bytes-buffer to carry partial lines across calls,
`_process_alive()` liveness probe via `kill(pid, 0)`
- Linux-only via `platform.system() != 'Linux'` skip —
orphan-reparenting semantics don't generalize to
other platforms
- port offset (`reg_addr[1] + 17`) so the harness listener
doesn't race concurrently-running backend tests
- best-effort `finally:` cleanup: `SIGKILL` any still-alive
pids + `proc.kill()` + bounded `proc.wait()` to avoid
leaking orphans across the session
Also, tier-4 header comment documents the cross-backend
generalization path: applicable to any multi-process
backend (`trio`, `mp_spawn`, `mp_forkserver`,
`subint_forkserver`), NOT to plain `subint` (in-process
subints have no orphan OS-child). Move path: lift
harness into `tests/_orphan_harness.py`, parametrize on
session `_spawn_method`, add
`skipif _spawn_method == 'subint'`.

(cherry picked from commit 76605d5609)
`os.fork()` inherits the parent's entire memory image,
including `tractor.runtime._state` globals that encode
"this process is the root actor" — `_runtime_vars`'s
`_is_root=True`, pre-populated `_root_mailbox` +
`_registry_addrs`, and the parent's `_current_actor`
singleton.
A fresh `exec`-based child starts with those globals at
their module-level defaults (all falsey/empty). The
forkserver child needs to match that shape BEFORE calling
`_actor_child_main()`, otherwise `Actor.__init__()` takes
the `is_root_process() == True` branch and pre-populates
`self.enable_modules`, which then trips
`assert not self.enable_modules` at the top of
`Actor._from_parent()` on the subsequent parent→child
`SpawnSpec` handshake.
Fix: at the start of `_child_target`, null
`_state._current_actor` and overwrite `_runtime_vars` with
a cold-root blank (`_is_root=False`, empty mailbox/addrs,
`_debug_mode=False`) before `_actor_child_main()` runs.
Found-via: `test_subint_forkserver_spawn_basic` hitting
the `enable_modules` assert on child-side runtime boot.

Promote `_subint_forkserver` from primitives-only into a
registered spawn backend: `'subint_forkserver'` is now a
`SpawnMethodKey` literal, dispatched via `_methods` to
the new `subint_forkserver_proc()` target, feature-gated
under the existing `subint`-family py3.14+ case, and
selectable via `--spawn-backend=subint_forkserver`.
Deats,
- new `subint_forkserver_proc()` spawn target in
`_subint_forkserver`:
- mirrors `trio_proc()`'s supervision model — real OS
subprocess so `Portal.cancel_actor()` + `soft_kill()`
on graceful teardown, `os.kill(SIGKILL)` on hard-reap
(no `_interpreters.destroy()` race to fuss over bc the
child lives in its own process)
- only real diff from `trio_proc` is the spawn mechanism:
fork from a main-interp worker thread via
`fork_from_worker_thread()` (off-loaded to trio's
thread pool) instead of `trio.lowlevel.open_process()`
- child-side `_child_target` closure runs
`tractor._child._actor_child_main()` with
`spawn_method='trio'` — the child is a regular trio
actor, "subint_forkserver" names how the parent
spawned, not what the child runs
- new `_ForkedProc` class — thin `trio.Process`-compatible
shim around a raw OS pid: `.poll()` via
`waitpid(WNOHANG)`, async `.wait()` off-loaded to a trio
cache thread, `.kill()` via `SIGKILL`, `.returncode`
cached for repeat calls. `.stdin`/`.stdout`/`.stderr`
are `None` (fork-w/o-exec inherits parent FDs; we don't
marshal them) which matches `soft_kill()`'s `is not None`
guards
Also, new backend-tier test
`test_subint_forkserver_spawn_basic` drives the registered
backend end-to-end via `open_root_actor` + `open_nursery` +
`run_in_actor` w/ a trivial portal-RPC round-trip. Uses a
`forkserver_spawn_method` fixture to flip
`_spawn_method`/`_ctx` for the test's duration + restore on
teardown (so other session-level tests don't observe the
global flip). Test module docstring reworked to describe
the three tiers now covered: (1) primitive-level, (2)
parent-trio-driven primitives, (3) full registered backend.
Status: still-open work (tracked on `tractor#379`) doc'd
inline in the module docstring — no cancel/hard-kill stress
coverage yet, child-side subint-hosted root runtime still
future (gated on `msgspec#563`), thread-hygiene audit
pending the same unblock.

Follow-up tracker companion to the module-docstring TODO
added in `372a0f32`. Catalogs why `_subint_forkserver`'s
two "non-trio thread" constraints
(`fork_from_worker_thread()` +
`run_subint_in_worker_thread()` both allocating dedicated
`threading.Thread`s; test helper named
`run_fork_in_non_trio_thread`) exist today, and which of
them would dissolve once msgspec PEP 684 support ships
(`msgspec#563`) and tractor flips to isolated-mode subints.
Deats,
- three reasons enumerated for the current constraints:
- class-A GIL-starvation — **fixed** by isolated mode:
subints don't share main's GIL so abandoned-thread
contention disappears
- destroy race / tstate-recycling from `subint_proc` —
**unclear**: `_PyXI_Enter` + `_PyXI_Exit` are
cross-mode, so isolated doesn't obviously fix it;
needs empirical retest on py3.14 + isolated API
- fork-from-main-interp-tstate (the CPython-level
`_PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain` gate) — the
narrow reason for using a dedicated thread; **probably
fixed** IF the destroy-race also resolves (bc trio's
cache threads never drove subints → clean main-interp
tstate)
- TL;DR table of which constraints unwind under each
resolution branch
- four-step audit plan for when `msgspec#563` lands:
- flip `_subint` to isolated mode
- empirical destroy-race retest
- audit `_subint_forkserver.py` — drop `non_trio`
qualifier / maybe inline primitives
- doc fallout — close the three `subint_*_issue.md`
siblings w/ post-mortem notes
Also, cross-refs the three sibling `conc-anal/` docs, PEPs
684 + 734, `msgspec#563`, and `tractor#379` (the overall
subint spawn-backend tracking issue).

New pytest module `tests/spawn/test_subint_forkserver.py`
drives the forkserver primitives from inside a real
`trio.run()` in the parent — the runtime shape tractor will
actually use when we wire up a `subint_forkserver` spawn
backend proper. Complements the standalone no-trio-in-parent
`ai/conc-anal/subint_fork_from_main_thread_smoketest.py`.
Deats,
- new test pkg `tests/spawn/` (+ empty `__init__.py`)
- two tests, both `@pytest.mark.timeout(30, method='thread')`
for the GIL-hostage safety reason doc'd in
`ai/conc-anal/subint_sigint_starvation_issue.md`:
- `test_fork_from_worker_thread_via_trio` — parent-side
plumbing baseline. `trio.run()` off-loads forkserver
prims via `trio.to_thread.run_sync()` + asserts the
child reaps cleanly
- `test_fork_and_run_trio_in_child` — end-to-end: forked
child calls `run_subint_in_worker_thread()` with a
bootstrap str that does `trio.run()` in a fresh subint
- both tests wrap the inner `trio.run()` in a
`dump_on_hang()` for post-mortem if the outer
`pytest-timeout` fires
- intentionally NOT using `--spawn-backend` — the tests
drive the primitives directly rather than going through
tractor's spawn-method registry (which the forkserver
isn't plugged into yet)
Also, rename `run_trio_in_subint()` →
`run_subint_in_worker_thread()` for naming consistency with
the sibling `fork_from_worker_thread()`. The action is really
"host a subint on a worker thread", not specifically "run
trio" — trio just happens to be the typical payload.
Propagate the rename to the smoketest.
Further, add a "TODO — cleanup gated on msgspec PEP 684
support" section to the `_subint_forkserver` module
docstring: flags the dedicated-`threading.Thread` design as
potentially-revisable once isolated-mode subints are viable
in tractor. Cross-refs `msgspec#563` + `tractor#379` and
points at an audit-plan conc-anal doc we'll add next.

(cherry picked from commit 25e400d526)
The smoketest (prior commit) empirically validated the
"fork-from-main-interp-worker-thread" arch on py3.14. Promote
the validated primitives out of the `ai/conc-anal/` smoketest
into `tractor.spawn._subint_forkserver` so they can eventually
be wired into a real "subint forkserver" spawn backend.
Deats,
- new module `tractor/spawn/_subint_forkserver.py` (337 LOC):
- `fork_from_worker_thread(child_target, thread_name)` —
spawn a main-interp `threading.Thread`, call `os.fork()`
from it, shuttle the child pid back to main via a pipe
- `run_trio_in_subint(bootstrap, ...)` — post-fork helper:
create a fresh subint + drive `_interpreters.exec()` on
a dedicated worker thread running the `bootstrap` str
(typically imports `trio`, defines an async entry, calls
`trio.run()`)
- `wait_child(pid, expect_exit_ok)` — `os.waitpid()` +
pass/fail classification reusable from harness AND the
eventual real spawn path
- feature-gated py3.14+ via the public
`concurrent.interpreters` presence check; matches the gate
in `tractor.spawn._subint`
- module docstring doc's the CPython-block context
(cross-refs `_subint_fork` stub + the two `conc-anal/`
docs) and status: EXPERIMENTAL, not yet registered in
`_spawn._methods`
Also, refactor the smoketest
`ai/conc-anal/subint_fork_from_main_thread_smoketest.py` to
import the primitives from the new module rather than inline
its own copies. Keeps the smoketest and the tractor-side
impl in sync as the forkserver design evolves; the smoketest
remains a zero-`tractor`-runtime CPython-level check
(imports ONLY the three primitives, no runtime bring-up).
Status: next step is to drive these from a parent-side
`trio.run()` and hook the returned child pid into the normal
actor-nursery/IPC flow — then register `subint_forkserver`
as a `SpawnMethodKey` in `_spawn.py`.

Standalone script to validate the "main-interp worker-thread
forkserver + subint-hosted trio" arch proposed as a workaround
to the CPython-level refusal doc'd in
`ai/conc-anal/subint_fork_blocked_by_cpython_post_fork_issue.md`.
Deliberately NOT a `tractor` test — zero `tractor` imports.
Uses `_interpreters` (private stdlib) + `os.fork()` directly so
pass/fail is a property of CPython alone, independent of our
runtime. Requires py3.14+.
Deats,
- four scenarios via `--scenario`:
- `control_subint_thread_fork` — the KNOWN-BROKEN case as a
harness sanity; if the child DOESN'T abort, our analysis
is wrong
- `main_thread_fork` — baseline sanity, must always succeed
- `worker_thread_fork` — architectural assertion: regular
`threading.Thread` attached to main interp calls
`os.fork()`; child should survive post-fork cleanup
- `full_architecture` — end-to-end: fork from a main-interp
worker thread, then in child create a subint driving a
worker thread running `trio.run()`
- exit code 0 on EXPECTED outcome (for `control_*` that means
"child aborted", not "child succeeded")
- each scenario prints a self-contained pass/fail banner; use
`os.waitpid()` of the parent + per-scenario status prints to
observe the child's fate
Also, log NLNet provenance for this session's three-sub-phase

(cherry picked from commit de4f470b6c)
Empirical finding: the WIP `subint_fork_proc` scaffold
landed in `cf0e3e6f` does *not* work on current CPython.
The `fork()` syscall succeeds in the parent, but the
CHILD aborts immediately during
`PyOS_AfterFork_Child()` →
`_PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain()`, which gates
on the current tstate belonging to the main interp —
the child dies with `Fatal Python error: not main
interpreter`.
CPython devs acknowledge the fragility with an in-source
comment (`// Ideally we could guarantee tstate is running
main.`) but expose no user-facing hook to satisfy the
precondition — so the strategy is structurally dead until
upstream changes.
Rather than delete the scaffold, reshape it into a
documented dead-end so the next person with this idea
lands on the reason rather than rediscovering the same
CPython-level refusal.
Deats,
- Move `subint_fork_proc` out of `tractor.spawn._subint`
into a new `tractor.spawn._subint_fork` dedicated
module (153 LOC). Module + fn docstrings now describe
the blockage directly; the fn body is trimmed to a
`NotImplementedError` pointing at the analysis doc —
no more dead-code `bootstrap` sketch bloating
`_subint.py`.
- `_spawn.py`: keep `'subint_fork'` in `SpawnMethodKey`
+ the `_methods` dispatch so
`--spawn-backend=subint_fork` routes to a clean
`NotImplementedError` rather than "invalid backend";
comment calls out the blockage. Collapse the duplicate
py3.14 feature-gate in `try_set_start_method()` into a
combined `case 'subint' | 'subint_fork':` arm.
- New 337-line analysis:
`ai/conc-anal/subint_fork_blocked_by_cpython_post_fork_issue.md`.
Annotated walkthrough from the user-visible fatal
error down to the specific `Modules/posixmodule.c` +
`Python/pystate.c` source lines enforcing the refusal,
plus an upstream-report draft.

(cherry picked from commit 0f48ed2eb9)
Experimental third spawn backend: use a fresh
sub-interpreter purely as a trio-free launchpad from
which to `os.fork()` + exec back into
`python -m tractor._child`. Per issue #379's
"fork()-workaround/hacks" thread.
Intent is to sidestep both,
- the trio+fork hazards hitting `trio_proc` (python- trio/trio#1614 et
al.), since the forking interp is guaranteed trio-free.
- the shared-GIL abandoned-thread hazards hitting `subint_proc`
(`ai/conc-anal/subint_sigint_starvation_issue.md`), since we don't
*stay* in the subint — it only lives long enough to call `os.fork()`
Downstream of the fork+exec, all the existing `trio_proc` plumbing is
reused verbatim: `ipc_server.wait_for_peer()`, `SpawnSpec`, `Portal`
yield, soft-kill.
Status: NOT wired up beyond scaffolding. The fn raises
`NotImplementedError` immediately; the `bootstrap` fork/exec string
builder and the `# TODO: orchestrate driver thread` block are kept
in-tree as deliberate dead code so the next iteration starts from
a concrete shape rather than a blank page.
Docstring calls out three open questions that need
empirical validation before wiring this up:
1. Does CPython permit `os.fork()` from a non-main
legacy subint?
2. Can the child stay fork-without-exec and
`trio.run()` directly from within the launchpad
subint?
3. How do `signal.set_wakeup_fd()` handlers and other
process-global state interact when the forking
thread is inside a subint?

(cherry picked from commit eee79a0357)
Add two more tests to the catalog in
`conc-anal/subint_sigint_starvation_issue.md` — same
signal-wakeup-fd-saturation fingerprint (abandoned legacy-subint driver
threads → shared-GIL starvation → `write() = EAGAIN` on the wakeup pipe
→ silent SIGINT drop), different load patterns.
Deats,
- `test_cancel_while_childs_child_in_sync_sleep[subint-False]`: nested
actor-tree + sync-sleeping grandchild. Under `trio`/`mp_*` the "zombie
reaper" is a subproc `SIGKILL`; no equivalent exists under subint, so
the grandchild persists in its abandoned driver thread. Often only
manifests under full-suite runs (earlier tests seed the
abandoned-thread pool).
- `test_multierror_fast_nursery[subint-25-0.5]`: 25 concurrent subactors
all go through teardown on the multierror. Bounded hard-kills run in
parallel — so the total budget is ~3s, not 3s × 25. Leaves 25
abandoned driver threads simultaneously alive, an extreme pressure
multiplier. `strace` shows several successful `write(16, "\2", 1) = 1`
(GIL round-robin IS giving main brief slices) before finally
saturating with `EAGAIN`.
Also include a `pstree -snapt <pid>` capture showing
16+ live `{subint-driver[<interp_id>}` threads at the
moment of hang — the direct GIL-contender population.

Add a hard process-level wall-clock bound on the two
known-hanging subint-backend tests so an unattended
suite run can't wedge indefinitely in either of the
hang classes doc'd in `ai/conc-anal/`.
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 is
starved by the same GIL-hostage path that drops
`SIGINT` (see `subint_sigint_starvation_issue.md`),
so it'd never actually fire in the starvation case.
- `test_subint_non_checkpointing_child`: same
decorator, same reasoning (defense-in-depth over
the inner `trio.fail_after(15)`).
At timeout, `pytest-timeout` hard-kills the pytest
process itself — that's the intended behavior here;
the alternative is the suite never returning.

Classify and write up the two distinct hang modes hit during Phase
B subint bringup (issue #379) so future triage doesn't re-derive them
from scratch.
Deats, two new `ai/conc-anal/` docs,
- `subint_sigint_starvation_issue.md`: abandoned legacy-subint thread
+ shared GIL → main trio loop starves → signal-wakeup-fd pipe fills
→ `SIGINT` silently dropped (`strace` shows `write() = EAGAIN` on the
wakeup-fd). Un- Ctrl-C-able. Structurally a CPython limit; blocked on
`msgspec` PEP 684 (jcrist/msgspec#563)
- `subint_cancel_delivery_hang_issue.md`: parent-side trio task parks on
an orphaned IPC channel after subint teardown — no clean EOF delivered
to the waiting receive. Ctrl-C-able (main loop iterates fine); OUR bug
to fix. Candidate fix: explicit parent-side channel abort in
`subint_proc`'s hard-kill teardown
Cross-link the docs from their test reproducers,
- `test_stale_entry_is_deleted` (→ starvation class): wrap
`trio.run(main)` in `dump_on_hang(seconds=20)` so a future regression
captures a stack dump. Kept un- skipped so the dump file is
inspectable
- `test_subint_non_checkpointing_child` (→ delivery class): extend
docstring with a "KNOWN ISSUE" block pointing at the analysis

Lock in the escape-hatch machinery added to `tractor.spawn._subint`
during the Phase B.2/B.3 bringup (issue #379) so future stdlib
regressions or our own refactors don't silently re-introduce the
mid-suite hangs.
Deats,
- `test_subint_happy_teardown`: baseline — spawn a subactor, one portal
RPC, clean teardown. If this breaks, something's wrong unrelated to
the hard-kill shields.
- `test_subint_non_checkpointing_child`: cancel a subactor stuck in
a non-checkpointing Python loop (`threading.Event.wait()` releases the
GIL but never inserts a trio checkpoint). Validates the bounded-shield
+ daemon-driver-thread combo abandons the thread after
`_HARD_KILL_TIMEOUT`.
Every test is wrapped in `trio.fail_after()` for a deterministic
per-test wall-clock ceiling (an unbounded audit would defeat itself) and
arms `tractor.devx.dump_on_hang()` so a hang captures a stack dump
— pytest's stderr capture swallows `faulthandler` output by default.
Gated via `pytest.importorskip('concurrent.interpreters')` and
a module-level skip when `--spawn-backend` isn't `'subint'`.

The private `_interpreters` C module ships since 3.13, but that vintage
wedges under our `threading.Thread` + multi-trio usage pattern
—> `_interpreters.exec()` silently never makes progress. 3.14 fixes it.
So gate on the presence of the public `concurrent.interpreters` wrapper
(3.14+ only) even tho we still call into the private module at runtime.
Deats,
- `try_set_start_method('subint')` error msg + `_subint` module
docstring/comments rewritten to document the 3.14 floor and why 3.13
can't work.
- `_subint._has_subints` gate now imports `concurrent.interpreters` (not
`_interpreters`) as the version sentinel.
Also, reshuffle `pyproject.toml` deps into
per-python-version `[tool.uv.dependency-groups]`:

- `eventfd` group: `cffi>=1.17.1`, py>=3.13,<3.14
- `sync_pause` group: `greenback`, py>=3.13,<3.14

Unbounded `trio.CancelScope(shield=True)` at the
soft-kill and thread-join sites can wedge the parent
trio loop indefinitely when a stuck subint ignores
portal-cancel (e.g. bc the IPC channel is already
broken).
Deats,
- add `_HARD_KILL_TIMEOUT` (3s) module-level const
- wrap both shield sites with
`trio.move_on_after()` so we abandon a stuck
subint after the deadline
- flip driver thread to `daemon=True` so proc-exit
also isn't blocked by a wedged subint
- pass `abandon_on_cancel=True` to
`trio.to_thread.run_sync(driver_thread.join)`

fire
- log warnings when either timeout triggers

`trio.to_thread.run_sync(_interpreters.exec, ...)` runs `exec()` on
a cached worker thread — and when that thread is returned to the
cache after the subint's `trio.run()` exits, CPython still keeps
the subint's tstate attached to the (now idle) worker. Result: the
teardown `_interpreters.destroy(interp_id)` in the `finally` block
can block the parent's trio loop indefinitely, waiting for a tstate
release that only happens when the worker either picks up a new job
or exits.
Manifested as intermittent mid-suite hangs under
`--spawn-backend=subint` — caught by a
`faulthandler.dump_traceback_later()` showing the main thread stuck
in `_interpreters.destroy()` at `_subint.py:293` with only an idle
trio-cache worker as the other live thread.
Deats,
- drive the subint on a plain `threading.Thread` (not
`trio.to_thread`) so the OS thread truly exits after
`_interpreters.exec()` returns, releasing tstate and unblocking
destroy
- signal `subint_exited.set()` back to the parent trio loop from
the driver thread via `trio.from_thread.run_sync(...,
trio_token=...)` — capture the token at `subint_proc` entry
- swallow `trio.RunFinishedError` in that signal path for the case
where parent trio has already exited (proc teardown)
- in the teardown `finally`, off-load the sync
`driver_thread.join()` to `trio.to_thread.run_sync` (cache thread
w/ no subint tstate → safe) so we actually wait for the driver to
exit before `_interpreters.destroy()`

Replace the B.1 scaffold stub w/ a working spawn
flow driving PEP 734 sub-interpreters on dedicated

Deats,
- use private `_interpreters` C mod (not the public
`concurrent.interpreters` API) to get `'legacy'`
subint config — avoids PEP 684 C-ext compat
issues w/ `msgspec` and other deps missing the
`Py_mod_multiple_interpreters` slot
- bootstrap subint via code-string calling new
`_actor_child_main()` from `_child.py` (shared
entry for both CLI and subint backends)
- drive subint lifetime on an OS thread using
`trio.to_thread.run_sync(_interpreters.exec, ..)`
- full supervision lifecycle mirrors `trio_proc`:
`ipc_server.wait_for_peer()` → send `SpawnSpec`
→ yield `Portal` via `task_status.started()`
- graceful shutdown awaits the subint's inner
`trio.run()` completing; cancel path sends
`portal.cancel_actor()` then waits for thread
join before `_interpreters.destroy()`
Also,
- extract `_actor_child_main()` from `_child.py`
`__main__` block as callable entry shape bc the
subint needs it for code-string bootstrap
- add `"subint"` to the `_runtime.py` spawn-method
check so child accepts `SpawnSpec` over IPC

Land the scaffolding for a future sub-interpreter (PEP 734
`concurrent.interpreters`) actor spawn backend per issue #379. The
spawn flow itself is not yet implemented; `subint_proc()` raises a
placeholder `NotImplementedError` pointing at the tracking issue —
this commit only wires up the registry, the py-version gate, and
the harness.
Deats,
- bump `pyproject.toml` `requires-python` to `>=3.12, <3.15` and
list the `3.14` classifier — the new stdlib
`concurrent.interpreters` module only ships on 3.14
- extend `SpawnMethodKey = Literal[..., 'subint']`
- `try_set_start_method('subint')` grows a new `match` arm that
feature-detects the stdlib module and raises `RuntimeError` with
a clear banner on py<3.14
- `_methods` registers the new `subint_proc()` via the same
bottom-of-module late-import pattern used for `._trio` / `._mp`
Also,
- new `tractor/spawn/_subint.py` — top-level `try: from concurrent
import interpreters` guards `_has_subints: bool`; `subint_proc()`
signature mirrors `trio_proc`/`mp_proc` so the Phase B.2 impl can
drop in without touching the registry
- re-add `import sys` to `_spawn.py` (needed for the py-version msg
in the gate-error)
- `_testing.pytest.pytest_configure` wraps `try_set_start_method()`
in a `pytest.UsageError` handler so `--spawn-backend=subint` on
py<3.14 prints a clean banner instead of a traceback

Resolve#474 with a new `tests/trionics/test_taskc.py` (9
tests) covering the `trio.Nursery.start()` wrapper landed in
PR #464, incl. the `modden.runtime.progman.open_wks()` use
case dug out as a minimal repro.
Deats,
- the lossy `RuntimeError('child exited without calling
task_status.started()')` only fires when the child absorbs
its ambient cancel pre-`.started()` (graceful-teardown
pattern); a well-behaved child surfaces `Cancelled` direct
from `.start()` on `trio` 0.29 - verified empirically 1st.
- `test_sibling_err_not_masked_by_startup_rte`: the `modden`
case; ONLY the root-cause sibling `ValueError` escapes the
nursery with the wrapper vs. bare-`.start()`'s lossy
riding-along startup-RTE noise.
- `test_pure_oob_cancel_not_morphed_to_rte`: plain ancestor
`cs.cancel()` exits clean vs. bare's eg-wrapped RTE.
- `test_genuine_startup_rte_still_raised`: sans cancellation
the protocol-bug RTE re-raises same as bare.
- `test_childs_own_rte_never_demoted_to_cancel`: exact-msg +
`isinstance`-guard regression cover; a child's own
`RuntimeError('never got started!')`/`RuntimeError(1234)`
never demotes to a `Cancelled`.
- `test_started_value_and_args_passthru`: positional args,
`name=` and `.started()`-value forwarding.
Also,
- `use_start_or_cancel=False` params pin upstream `trio`'s
current lossy behaviour as wart-documentation: a break on
a `trio` upgrade likely means new upstream porcelain and
the wrapper deserves a re-audit.
- verified 0 flakes over 50 hammer runs + 2 impl mutations

Wrap `log.transport()` in `Channel.send()` and `log.runtime()` in

expensive `pformat(payload)` / `repr(msg)` / `repr(pld)` calls are
skipped entirely when the respective log level is not active.
Previously the f-string arguments were eagerly evaluated before being
passed to the log method, even though `StackLevelAdapter.log()` would
then discard the message internally via its own `isEnabledFor()` check.
On high-frequency IPC paths this caused `pformat` to dominate CPU
usage (~60-70 %) as reported in #455.
