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
`ai/conc-anal/subint_forkserver_orphan_sigint_hang_issue.md`
for the full diagnosis.

(cherry picked from commit 44bdb1697c)
Sixth and final diagnostic pass — after all 4
cascade fixes landed (FD hygiene, pidfd wait,
`_parent_chan_cs` wiring, bounded peer-clear), the
actual last gate on
`test_nested_multierrors[subint_forkserver]`
turned out to be **pytest's default
`--capture=fd` stdout/stderr capture**, not
anything in the runtime cascade.
Empirical result: `pytest -s` → test PASSES in
6.20s. Default `--capture=fd` → hangs forever.
Mechanism: pytest replaces the parent's fds 1,2
with pipe write-ends it reads from. Fork children
inherit those pipes (since `_close_inherited_fds`
correctly preserves stdio). The error-propagation
cascade in a multi-level cancel test generates
7+ actors each logging multiple `RemoteActorError`
/ `ExceptionGroup` tracebacks — enough output to
fill Linux's 64KB pipe buffer. Writes block,
subactors can't progress, processes don't exit,
`_ForkedProc.wait` hangs.
Self-critical aside: I earlier tested w/ and w/o
`-s` and both hung, concluding "capture-pipe
ruled out". That was wrong — at that time fixes
1-4 weren't all in place, so the test was
failing at deeper levels long before reaching
the "produce lots of output" phase. Once the
cascade could actually tear down cleanly, enough
output flowed to hit the pipe limit. Order-of-
operations mistake: ruling something out based
on a test that was failing for a different
reason.
Deats,
- `subint_forkserver_test_cancellation_leak_issue
.md`: new section "Update — VERY late: pytest
capture pipe IS the final gate" w/ DIAG timeline
showing `trio.run` fully returns, diagnosis of
pipe-fill mechanism, retrospective on the
earlier wrong ruling-out, and fix direction
(redirect subactor stdout/stderr to `/dev/null`
in fork-child prelude, conditional on
pytest-detection or opt-in flag)
- `tests/test_cancellation.py`: skip-mark reason
rewritten to describe the capture-pipe gate
specifically; cross-refs the new doc section
- `tests/spawn/test_subint_forkserver.py`: the
orphan-SIGINT test regresses back to xfail.
Previously passed after the FD-hygiene fix,
but the new `wait_for_no_more_peers(
move_on_after=3.0)` bound in `async_main`'s
teardown added up to 3s latency, pushing
orphan-subactor exit past the test's 10s poll
window. Real fix: faster orphan-side teardown
OR extend poll window to 15s
No runtime code changes in this commit — just
test-mark adjustments + doc wrap-up.

(cherry picked from commit eceed29d4a)
(MTF-only portion: kept ai/conc-anal/subint_forkserver_test_cancellation_leak_issue.md tests/spawn/test_subint_forkserver.py)
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)
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.

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)
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.

(cherry picked from commit 26914fde75)
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)
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.

(MTF-only portion: kept tests/test_subint_cancellation.py)
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'`.

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.

Follow-up to f595acc7 (`supervise_run_process`) which
called `log.io(...)` for std-stream relay assuming an
`IO=21` level existed. Add the registration via a new
factory + tests covering both the factory and the new
level.
`add_log_level()` factory,
- One call wires the four (otherwise hand-synced) pieces:
- `CUSTOM_LEVELS[NAME]` — drives the `stacklevel` bump
in `StackLevelAdapter.log()` + `get_logger()`'s
per-level audit.
- `logging.addLevelName()` — stdlib name registration.
- `STD_PALETTE[NAME]` + `BOLD_PALETTE['bold'][NAME]` —
color entries consumed by `get_console_log()`'s
`ColoredFormatter` build.
- Same-named (lowercase) emit method bound on
`StackLevelAdapter` so `log.<name>('msg')` works +
`get_logger()`'s per-level method audit passes.
- Idempotent: re-registering an existing name is a
no-op-ish refresh that won't clobber an already-bound
method.
- Method binding uses a default-arg `_level=value` so
the level int is captured (not late-bound across
multiple registrations).
`IO=21` level (first user),
- Purple. Used by `tractor.trionics._subproc`'s
std-stream relay (see f595acc7).
- Value 21 picked to sit just ABOVE stdlib `INFO`=20 so
it's SHOWN BY DEFAULT at usual `info`/`devx` console
levels — a `runtime`=15 relay would be silently
filtered (footgun for daemon supervisors whose whole
point is visibility). Still distinctly labeled +
filterable.
Tests (`tests/test_log_sys.py`),
- `test_io_custom_level_registered`: validates the IO
level is fully wired (`CUSTOM_LEVELS`, `addLevelName`,
both palettes, `StackLevelAdapter.io()` callable);
emits a record + sanity-asserts `21 >= INFO(20)`.
- `test_add_log_level_pluggable`: registers a fresh
`XLVL=19` (cyan) via `add_log_level()`, asserts all
four wires + the bound `xlog.xlvl()` emit, then
try/finally cleans up the module-global mutations so
later `get_logger()` audits don't trip on a
half-removed level.

(regex per https://stackoverflow.com/a/14693789).
- Apply inside `in_prompt_msg()` + `assert_before()` so
substring matches against REPL/traceback output stay

- Motivated by py3.13's colored tracebacks +
`pdbp`/pygments highlighting leaking ANSI even when
`PYTHON_COLORS=0` is set in the `spawn` fixture (not
every renderer in the spawned subproc honors it).
- Replaces the longstanding inline TODO that linked
the SO answer w/o impl'ing.
trio 0.30+ `Cancelled._create(` match (`test_debugger`),

- trio >=0.30 raises a multi-line
`raise Cancelled._create(source=.., reason=..,

A `trio.Nursery.start()`-style wrapper around
`trio.run_process()` that surfaces rc!=0 errors
deterministically, ALWAYS isolates the parent
controlling-tty, and optionally live-relays the child's
std-streams to `log.<level>` per-line. Suits both
short-lived test-runners + long-lived daemons.
`supervise_run_process()`,
- Deterministic rc!=0: pass `check=False` to `trio`
and do our OWN post-drain rc-check from the
supervisor coro body AFTER `own_tn.__aexit__` — NOT
inside the internal nursery, since that would
race-cancel the still-draining relay reader and lose
stderr lines. (Re)build + raise a BARE
`subprocess.CalledProcessError`: `.stderr=` for
programmatic callers + an `add_note()`'d
`|_.stderr:` block for human teardown logs. No
nursery-eg-wrapped CPE to `collapse_eg` around.
- Parent controlling-tty isolation: `stdin=DEVNULL`
always, `stdout=DEVNULL` unless relayed/overridden
(via `stdout=` kwarg w/ `_UNSET` sentinel so explicit
`None` = inherit still works). Prevents a spawned
program from clobbering the launching tty's scrollback
w/ control-seqs.
- Live per-line relay: `relay_stdout=True`/
`relay_stderr=True` → relayed to `log.<relay_level>`
(default `'io'`, our custom level 21). Picked to sort
just above stdlib `INFO`=20 so it shows at usual
`info`/`devx` levels yet stays separately filterable;
`runtime`=15 was REJECTED as a default since it'd be
silently filtered at usual verbosity — footgun for
daemon supervisors whose whole point is visibility.
STREAMED, not buffered-until-exit.
- Non-blocking `tn.start()` semantics: live
`trio.Process` handed up via
`task_status.started()` immediately (else
`tn.start()` would block till child exit, losing
the long-lived-daemon use case). Supervise/relay bg
tasks run to completion in this coro.
- `**run_process_kwargs` forwarded verbatim (env, shell,
cwd, start_new_session, executable, ...); MANAGED keys
(`stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr`/`check`) win on conflict.
- Crash-handling layer intentionally NOT baked in —
compose `maybe_open_crash_handler()` ON TOP at the
call-site.
`_relay_stream_lines()` helper,
- Concurrent pipe-drain reader. MANDATORY whenever piping
w/o `capture_*` since nothing else drains the OS pipe —
child blocks on `write()` once kernel buf (~64KiB) fills
→ deadlock.
- Modes (combine freely): `emit`-only live relay,
`accum`-only silent drain+capture (for the CPE note),
or both. Per-line splitting handles cross-chunk
residuals + flushes any trailing un-newline-term'd line
at EOF.
`_add_stderr_note()` helper,
- Attaches an indented `|_.stderr:` note to a CPE via
`add_note()` for legible rc!=0 reporting at teardown.
Tests (`tests/trionics/test_subproc.py`),
- Hermetic `trio`-only (no actor-runtime).

The `cpu_scaling_factor()` CI bump (2x) wasn't enough for the
macOS runners — slower + noisier than linux for our multi-actor
cancel-cascade timing — so `test_nested_multierrors[depth=3]` and
`test_fast_graceful_cancel_*` flaked there (linux + sdist green),
- make the CI headroom platform-aware: 3x on macOS, 2x on linux
(keeps the proven linux budget; depth=3 inner 12*3=36s still
fits under the 40s outer wall).
- give `test_fast_graceful_cancel_*` the `cpu_scaling_factor()`
headroom it was missing entirely (was a bare `timeout=2.9`).
Verified locally w/ `CI=1` (2x linux path; 3x macOS path confirmed
via forced `_non_linux`).

All 5 flagged items were valid (4 real bugs + 1 dead assert),
- fix an inverted `sys.version_info < (3, 14)` guard in
`ipc._linux` — the "`cffi` has no 3.14 support" import note now
fires on 3.14+ (where it applies) instead of on older pys.
- use `os.environ.get('PYTHON_COLORS')` in the `sync_bp` example
so it doesn't `KeyError` when run outside the test harness.
- correct `dump_task_tree()`'s docstring: the `/tmp` + `/dev/tty`
tee is gated on `write_file`/`write_tty`, not "unconditional".
- tidy the `ActorTooSlowError` message spacing in `cancel_actor`.
- replace a tautological `applied is True or applied is False` in
`test_patches` with `isinstance(applied, bool)` (the value is
order-dependent across the module).

GH Actions (and most shared) CI runners are slow + noisy and —
unlike a throttled local box — don't expose CPU-freq scaling via
sysfs, so `cpu_scaling_factor()` read `1.0` and the timing-
sensitive deadlines/asserts that key off it got NO headroom on
CI (a class of `TooSlowError` / `assert diff < this_fast` flakes),
- add a flat `_ci_env` x2 bump inside `cpu_scaling_factor()` so
every test already using it (quad streaming, SIGINT-cancel,
docs examples, ...) gets CI headroom for free — compounds with
any local-throttle factor.
- route the `time_quad_ex` cancel-deadline through it instead of
a bespoke per-test `ci_env` bump.
- fix a real bug in `test_nested_multierrors`: its OUTER
`@tractor_test(timeout=10)` was *smaller* than the inner
`fail_after_w_trace` budget (trio depth=3 = 12s), so the outer
wall fired first and pre-empted the snapshot-capturing inner
deadline -> `FAILED` instead of dumping. Bump the outer to `40`
(> max inner budget) and scale the inner budgets by
`cpu_scaling_factor()` too.
Verified locally with `CI=1` (quad + both `test_nested_multierrors`
depths + `test_cancel_via_SIGINT_other_task` green).

Same trio 0.29 → 0.33 cancel-cascade slowdown that hit
`test_nested_multierrors` (ea67f1b6) — bumps the
`trio`-backend (non-debug, non-forking) budget in
`test_echoserver_detailed_mechanics` from 1s → 4s.
- The 1s budget raced the ~1s teardown deadline. On a
deadline-fire trio 0.33 injects
`Cancelled(source='deadline')` (cancel-reason
metadata) that wraps the mid-stream KBI in a
`BaseExceptionGroup`, breaking the bare
`pytest.raises(KeyboardInterrupt)` below.
- Bump matches the forking-spawner branch (4s).

trio 0.29 → 0.33 lock bump (c7741bba) slowed the

`Cancelled(source='deadline')` (trio 0.33's new

(cherry picked from commit 57b3ea59ea)
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).

(cherry picked from commit 9c36363b01)
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).

(cherry picked from commit 19a77708ba)
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.

`AfkAlarmWTraceFactory` from `tractor._testing.trace`.

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.

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.

Future work — session-scoped trio runtime in a bg thread to share
fixture-side trio operations across many fixtures (currently overkill
for the one fixture that needs it).

(cherry picked from commit ec8c4659c4)
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'`.

(cherry picked from commit c4885f9d99)
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.
- [ ] use the `repro()` callable in `_wakeup_socketpair.py` IS the issue
body's evidence section.

(factored: dropped spawn-backend-only paths: ai/conc-anal/infected_asyncio_under_main_thread_forkserver_hang_issue.md)
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.

Only override `tractor.log._default_loglevel` when
the flag is explicitly passed — lets per-spawn and
per-example `loglevel` kwargs take effect instead
of being clobbered by the hard-coded `'ERROR'`
default.

Pass explicit `loglevel` to `spawn()` calls in
`test_debugger` tests — required for pexpect
pattern matching now that examples no longer
hard-code log levels.
Also,
- make `expect()` return the decoded `before` str.
- add `start_method` param + fork-backend timeout
slack (+4s) in nested-error test.
- clean up debug examples: drop unused loglevels,
rename `n` -> `an`, fix docstrings, add TODO
comments for tpt parametrize via osenv.

(cherry picked from commit 9431a81d37)
Add `disable_pdbp_color()` to the `sync_bp` example
to suppress pygments prompt coloring when
`PYTHON_COLORS=0` — makes pexpect pattern matching
deterministic.
Deats,
- set `loglevel='pdb'` in both script + test spawn.
- disable `enable_stack_on_sig` in example, assert
no `stackscope` output in test.
- update `attach_patts` keys/values with `|_<Task`
/ `|_<Thread` / `|_('subactor'` prefixes to match
actual tree-dump format.
- add call-site patterns (`tractor.pause_from_sync()`
`tractor.pause()`, `breakpoint(hide_tb=...)`).
- trim trailing `\n` from `Lock.repr()` output.

(cherry picked from commit fc2e298a29)
Factor the sub-actor relay loop out of
`dump_tree_on_sig()` into `_relay_sig_to_subactors()`
and chain both dump + relay in a single
`run_sync_soon` callback (`_dump_then_relay`) so the
parent's task-tree flushes BEFORE any sub receives
the signal — fixes a hierarchical-ordering race
where subs could dump ahead of the parent in the
muxed pty stream.
Also,
- gate file/tty sink writes behind `write_file` +
`write_tty` params on `dump_task_tree()`.
- use `actor.aid.uid` instead of deprecated `.uid`.
- update `test_shield_pause` expects to match the
new sequential parent -> relay-log -> sub ordering.

(cherry picked from commit e2b790a70d)
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.

(cherry picked from commit 61d4525137)
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.
