Document the intermittent connect-refused failure in the registrar
daemon test — root cause is the `daemon` fixture's blind `time.sleep()`
readiness gate racing against the subproc's `bind()`/ `listen()`
completion. Distinct from the cancel- cascade `TooSlowError` flake
class.

(cherry picked from commit 29f9928524)
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.

Under `main_thread_forkserver` the bootstrapping
hook switches to `--capture=sys`, so subactor
fd-level output (tree dumps, zombie-reaper msgs)
isn't captured per-test by pexpect. Gate those
expects behind a `no_capfd` check so the test
passes on both capture modes.

(factored: dropped spawn-backend-only paths under tests/spawn/)
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.

(cherry picked from commit 383b0fdd75)
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.

(cherry picked from commit 060f7d24c4)
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.

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.

Pull in the `reg_addr`, `debug_mode`, and `test_log`

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

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`

(factored: kept only the tests/test_cancellation.py skip-mark; dropped

Stopgap companion to d0121960 (`subint_forkserver`
test-cancellation leak doc): five tests in
`tests/test_cancellation.py` were running against the
default `:1616` registry, so any leaked
`subint-forkserv` descendant from a prior test holds
the port and blows up every subsequent run with
`TooSlowError` / "address in use". Thread the
session-unique `reg_addr` fixture through so each run
picks its own port — zombies can no longer poison
other tests (they'll only cross-contaminate whatever
happens to share their port, which is now nothing).
Deats,
- add `reg_addr: tuple` fixture param to:
- `test_cancel_infinite_streamer`
- `test_some_cancels_all`
- `test_nested_multierrors`
- `test_cancel_via_SIGINT`
- `test_cancel_via_SIGINT_other_task`
- explicitly pass `registry_addrs=[reg_addr]` to the
two `open_nursery()` calls that previously had no
kwargs at all (in `test_cancel_via_SIGINT` and
`test_cancel_via_SIGINT_other_task`)
- add bounded `@pytest.mark.timeout(7, method='thread')`
to `test_nested_multierrors` so a hung run doesn't
wedge the whole session
Still doesn't close the real leak — the
`subint_forkserver` backend's `_ForkedProc.kill()` is
PID-scoped not tree-scoped, so grandchildren survive
teardown regardless of registry port. This commit is
just blast-radius containment until that fix lands.

The `subint_forkserver` backend's child runtime is trio-native (uses
`_trio_main` + receives `SpawnSpec` over IPC just like `trio`/`subint`),
so `tractor.devx.debug._tty_lock` works in those subactors. Wire the
runtime gates that historically hard-coded `_spawn_method == 'trio'` to
recognize this third backend.
Deats,
- new `_DEBUG_COMPATIBLE_BACKENDS` module-const in `tractor._root`
listing the spawn backends whose subactor runtime is trio-native
(`'trio'`, `'subint_forkserver'`). Both the enable-site
(`_runtime_vars['_debug_mode'] = True`) and the cleanup-site reset
key.
off the same tuple — keep them in lockstep when adding backends
- `open_root_actor`'s `RuntimeError` for unsupported backends now
reports the full compatible-set + the rejected method instead of the
stale "only `trio`" msg.
- `runtime._runtime.Actor._from_parent`'s SpawnSpec-recv gate adds
`'subint_forkserver'` to the existing `('trio', 'subint')` tuple
— fork child-side runtime receives the same SpawnSpec IPC handshake as
the others.
- `subint_forkserver_proc` child-target now passes
`spawn_method='subint_forkserver'` (was hard-coded `'trio'`) so
`Actor.pformat()` / log lines reflect the actual parent-side spawn
mechanism rather than masquerading as plain `trio`.

::test_subint_non_checkpointing_child`.
- A few per-test decorators are left commented-in-

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.

Per-terminal optimized `watch`-like xonsh alias that
runs an arbitrary callable alias in a loop inside the
alt-screen buffer with flicker-free repaint. Supersedes
the inline `acli.ptree` polling .xsh snippet (removed
from `_ptree` docstr in favor of
`acli.watch acli.ptree pytest`).
Deats,
- alt-screen entry/exit (`\033[?1049h/l`) + cursor-hide
(`\033[?25l/h`) wrapped in try/finally so Ctrl-C always
returns to a pristine shell.
- per-frame draw uses cursor-home (`\033[H`) + per-line
EL (`\033[K` before each `\n`) + post-draw erase-down
(`\033[J`) → stale tail chars from a longer prior
frame are obvi cleared; no full-screen flash.
- SIGWINCH-aware: terminal resize sets a flag, next
frame does a full clear (`\033[H\033[2J`) instead of
the cheap cursor-home path.
- Ctrl-C handling: install `signal.default_int_handler`
so `KeyboardInterrupt` lands cleanly; prior handler
restored on exit.
- Output capture: redirect the alias's stdout to
`StringIO` per frame so we can post-process the EL
fix. Aliases writing directly to `sys.stdout.buffer`
/ `os.write(1)` bypass capture — EL-fix won't apply
but loop still works.
- Alias unwrap: xonsh stores callables as either a bare
callable OR `[fn, *preset_args]`. Both forms handled;
subprocess-style aliases rejected w/ a friendly err
msg.
- `argparse` w/ `-n`/`--interval` (default 0.3s); rest
of argv forwarded as alias args.
- Reg `'acli.watch': watch` in `_TCLI_ALIASES`.
Other,
- Tn `_ptree` `args: list[str]` param.
- Mod-header `Provides:` block updated w/ `acli.watch`
entry.

PID, handles the tricky `(comm)` field (can contain spaces/parens) by
splitting from last `)`.
- live-active rows now show `(ppid=<N>)` for ctx.
- orphaned-alive rows flagged `(adopted by init)`.
- cleanup suggestion: `acli.reap --uds` for both
alive-orphan graceful cancel + dead-sock cleanup
in one shot; manual `rm` kept as fallback.

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
test, negative detection test.

(cherry picked from commit d60245777e)
Rework reap/diag tooling to identify tractor sub-actors via
intrinsic proc signals — cmdline/comm markers from `setproctitle` —
instead of env-var or cwd matching.
Deats,
- new `_is_tractor_subactor()` checks cmdline for `tractor[` /
`tractor._child` markers, falls back to `/proc/<pid>/comm` for
zombie-resilient detection (kernel preserves `comm` past exit
until reap)
- `_read_comm()` reads kernel per-task name set by `setproctitle()`
— the zombie-safe ID signal
- `_read_status_state()` reads single-letter proc state from
`/proc/<pid>/status` (`Z` = zombie)
- `find_orphans()` drops `repo_root` requirement, uses
`_is_tractor_subactor()` for intrinsic sub-actor ID instead of
cwd coincidence-matching
- new `find_zombies()` with optional `parent_pid` filter for
zombie-state sub-actors
Also,
- rename `pytree` -> `ptree` throughout xontrib
- add `_which_cgroup_slice()` — reads `/proc/<pid>/cgroup` to
distinguish `system.slice` services vs `user.slice` desktop apps
from genuinely leaked orphans
- `_ptree` classifies `ppid==1` procs into `system-slice`,
`user-slice`, and `orphans` buckets with per-section output
- `_tractor_reap` drops `git rev-parse` / `sys.path` hack — assumes
tractor importable from active venv

(cherry picked from commit 522b57570b)
Group all xontrib aliases under an `acli.` prefix
so xonsh prefix-completion treats them as a sub-cmd
group — `acli.<TAB>` lists the full set. No parent
`acli` cmd exists; the dot is purely naming.
Renames (incl `-` -> `_` in suffixes for shell-
identifier-friendliness):
- `pytree` -> `acli.pytree`
- `hung-dump` -> `acli.hung_dump`
- `bindspace-scan` -> `acli.bindspace_scan`
Add new `acli.reap` wrapping `scripts/tractor-reap`:
Deats,
- 3 opt-in phases via flags:
1. process reap — `find_orphans()` (default,
PPid=1 + cwd=repo + cmdline `python`) or
`find_descendants(--parent PID)`. SIGINT
first, SIGKILL after `--grace` (def 3.0s).
2. `/dev/shm` sweep (`--shm`/`--shm-only`) —
`find_orphaned_shm()` + `reap_shm()`. needed
bc `tractor` disables `mp.resource_tracker`.
3. UDS sock-file sweep (`--uds`/`--uds-only`) —
`find_orphaned_uds()` + `reap_uds()` for stale
`${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/tractor/<name>@<pid>.sock`
entries. See #452.
- `--dry-run` lists matches without signalling/
unlinking; survivor pids or sweep errors flip
the alias rc to `1`.
- lazy-imports `tractor._testing._reap` after
`git rev-parse --show-toplevel` (with
`Path(__file__).parent.parent` fallback) so the
contrib is loadable before the venv is on
`sys.path`.
- `argparse.SystemExit` on `-h`/bad-args is
caught + returned as the alias rc instead of
killing xonsh.

(cherry picked from commit cec6cc2a56)
Extend `pytree` with two usability improvements:
- `--tree`/`-t` opt-in flag emits a flat walk-order `## tree` section at
the top preserving contiguous parent-child shape (no
severity-grouping), so the full tree structure is visible without
cross-ref'ing between severity buckets.
- Cross-bucket parent annotation: when a row's parent (by ppid) lives in
a *different* severity bucket, suffix with `[parent: <pid> (in
`<bucket>`)]` so the `└─` marker resolves even when bucketing scatters
parent/child into separate sections.
Also,
- split arg parsing into flag vs positional args.
- add `pid_to_bucket` dict + `walk_order` list to back both features
- rename inner `ppid` shadow to `ppid_str` to avoid collision with the
outer `ppid` variable.

(cherry picked from commit 0f4e671862)
Only flag `tractor._child` procs as cross-test ghosts of
THIS run if `ppid==1` (init-adopted real leak) or `ppid`
is in the walk's `seen` set (descendant we missed via
race).
Previously, procs whose `ppid` points to some OTHER live non-`pytest`
(in the use of `acli.ptree pytest`) process belong to a different
tractor app (`piker`, another `pytest` shell, a long-running tractor
daemon) and were being falsely flagged as cross-test ghosts.
Deats,
- post-cmdline-match check via `_ppid_from_proc(pid)`,
short-circuit on `None` (proc died in-flight).
- expand module docstring to spell out the ownership
filter rule + its rationale.

(cherry picked from commit a6d4ac3aac)
Post-yield now also reaps init-adopted (`ppid==1`) tractor procs
that appeared during the test — leaked subactors whose mid-tier
parent died during cascade teardown, reparenting them to init.
Pre-yield snapshot of existing orphans scopes reap to THIS test's
leaks only, avoiding reap of unrelated tractor uses (piker, etc.)
on the box.

(cherry picked from commit 01ce2857ea)
(factored: also default `find_orphans(repo_root=None)` -> cwd so the new bare call sites work ahead of the later intrinsic-identity rewrite)
`reap(include_descendants=True)` now expands each orphan-root pid
into its full psutil subtree before delivering SIGINT, so a
multi-level leaked actor-tree gets torn down in a single pass
instead of requiring repeated calls (each pass kills the current
`ppid==1` level, the level below becomes init-adopted, etc.).
Falls back to the original flat `pids` list when `psutil` is
unavailable. Emits a log line when expansion adds descendant pids.

add TODO for future `TRACTOR_TRACE_HOLD=1` pause-on-hang mode

don't get buried in scrollback

(cherry picked from commit fb87c36263)
Deats,
- `_find_tractor_strays()`: scan `/proc/*/cmdline` for
`tractor._child` procs NOT in the walk's `seen` set — surfaces
ghost subactor trees from prior test runs (cross-test launchpad
contamination).
- `dump_proc_tree(include_strays=True)`: refactor classification
into `_classify_walk()` closure, walk stray roots as additional
trees, emit stray-root summary in header. Also: `tractor._child`
procs reparented to init are now always classified as orphans
regardless of cgroup-slice (leaked subactor ≠ desktop-launched
app).
- `_do_capture_snapshot()`: use `sys.__stderr__` to bypass pytest
`--capture=sys` redirection so snapshot paths always land on the
real terminal
- `fail_after_w_trace()`: capture diag snapshot on
non-`TooSlowError` exceptions when the `fail_after` scope's
cancel had already fired (e.g. nursery wraps `Cancelled` into a
`BaseExceptionGroup` that escapes before `TooSlowError` can be
raised).

(cherry picked from commit 3a243a1fd4)
Extract all pure-Python diagnostic helpers (`dump_proc_tree`,
`dump_hung_state`, `scan_bindspace`, `dump_all`, `resolve_pids`,
`ensure_sudo_cached`, etc.) from the xonsh xontrib into a new
`tractor/_testing/trace.py` module so the same logic is callable
from both the `acli.*` terminal aliases AND in-test capture-on-hang
fixtures.
Deats,
- `_testing/trace.py`: new module (1171 lines) — proc-tree walker,
hung-state dumper, bindspace scanner, `dump_all()` snapshot
archiver, `AFKAlarmTimeout` exc, `fail_after_w_trace()` async CM
(trio `fail_after` + auto-snapshot on `TooSlowError`),
`afk_alarm_w_trace()` sync CM (`signal.alarm` + snapshot on
`SIGALRM`), plus pytest fixture wrappers for both.
- `_testing/pytest.py`: re-export the two fixtures via `from .trace
import` so pytest plugin-discovery picks them up.
- `tractor_diag.xsh`: thin terminal wrappers that import from
`_testing.trace` — drops ~627 lines of inline impl. Add
`acli.dump_all` alias for full snapshot-bundle CLI access.

(cherry picked from commit 7509e313ff)
(factored: the xontrib-side move-out hunk rides with the diag-xontrib segment)
Refactor `pytest_load_initial_conftests()` to split
the fork-spawn × capture-mode check into two policies:
- CI (`CI` env-var set): `pytest.exit(rc=2)` on
mismatch — forces every matrix-row to declare
`--capture=sys` explicitly.
- local: `warnings.warn()` + continue — lets devs
experiment with `--capture=fd` to validate fixes.
Deats,
- drop `_cap_fd_set` global; add
`_CAPSYS_REQUIRED_SPAWNERS` frozenset for the
spawner-name lookup
- move inline comment wall → proper docstring w/
Background, Trade-off, Validation-policy sections
- `maybe_xfail_for_spawner()` now takes
`request: pytest.FixtureRequest` and reads
`request.config.option.capture` instead of the
`_cap_sys_passed_as_flag` global
- recognize `tee-sys` as fork-safe (only `fd`-level
capture deadlocks)
- `set_fork_aware_capture()` returns the actual
capture mode str from config, not a hardcoded
`'sys'`
- lift `import warnings` to module level (was duped
inside `pytest_configure`)

(cherry picked from commit 255c9c3a7c)
Rename `_track_orphaned_uds_per_test` and
`_detect_runaway_subactors_per_test` to public names (drop `_` prefix),
drop `autouse=True`. Tests that need per-test reap blame now opt in via
`pytestmark = pytest.mark.usefixtures(...)`.
Also,
- reduce `sample_interval` from 0.5 -> 0.05s so the CPU probe is cheaper
per pid.
- add empty-`only_pids` fast-path in `find_runaway_subactors` to skip
psutil import when no descendants were spawned.
- extract `new_pids` intermediate var for clarity.

(cherry picked from commit e4953851de)
New `find_runaway_subactors()` helper + autouse
`_detect_runaway_subactors_per_test` fixture that
samples `psutil.cpu_percent()` on descendants to
catch tight-loop bugs (e.g. #452-class `recvfrom`
on a closed socket). Checks both at setup
(leftovers from a prior hung test) and teardown
(spawned by this test).
Intentionally does NOT kill the runaway — emits
a loud warning with diag commands (`strace`,
`lsof`, `ss`, `kill`) so the pid stays alive for
hands-on investigation. Session-end reaper still
SIGINT/SIGKILL survivors on normal exit.

(cherry picked from commit 5cf0312c78)
Extend the pytest plugin with helpers that detect
and adapt to `--capture=sys` under fork-based
spawners (`main_thread_forkserver`, `mp_forkserver`)
where fd-capture causes hangs.
Deats,
- track `_cap_sys_passed_as_flag` + `_cap_fd_set`
globals in `pytest_load_initial_conftests()`.
- add `@pytest.hookimpl(tryfirst=True)` + re-parse
args after appending `--capture=sys`.
- `_is_forking_spawner()` predicate + fixture.
- `maybe_xfail_for_spawner()` — enalbes skipping tests that need capsys
but weren't passed `--capture=sys`.
- `set_fork_aware_capture` fixture — returns the appropriate capture
fixture per spawner backend based on `start_method: str` set via CLI.
- wire `set_fork_aware_capture` into `tractor_test`
wrapper's fixture injection.
Also,
- add `alert_on_finish` session fixture (terminal
bell on completion; tho not sure it works fully..)
- add `ids=` to `start_method` parametrize.
- restore `default=False` on `--enable-stackscope`.
- drop commented-out `--ll` option block; we will likely factor it to
our plugin eventually however..

(cherry picked from commit d549c72052)
Move `--capture=sys` enforcement from a static ini
flag to a `pytest_load_initial_conftests()` bootstrap
hook that dynamically flips capture mode only when a
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.

Extend the `_testing._reap` mod with UDS sock-file leak detection +
cleanup, complementing the existing shm and subactor-process
reaping:
- `get_uds_dir()`, `_parse_uds_name()`, `find_orphaned_uds()`,
`reap_uds()` — detect `<name>@<pid>.sock` files under
`${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/tractor/` whose binder pid is dead (including
the `1616` registry sentinel).
- `_reap_orphaned_subactors` session-scoped autouse fixture: SIGINT
lingering subactors, wait, SIGKILL survivors, then sweep orphaned
UDS files.
- `_track_orphaned_uds_per_test` fn-scoped autouse fixture:
snapshot sock-file dir before/after each test, warn + reap new
orphans to prevent cascade flakiness under `--tpt-proto=uds`.
- `reap_subactors_per_test` opt-in fn-scoped fixture for modules
with known-leaky teardown.
