Detect child death before parent handshake

Race the initial peer handshake against process exit during Trio
child bootstrap so a dead child cannot park its spawning task.
Restore and harden the design originally implemented in `3b0724eb`.

Deats,
- register peer events before provisional nursery publication
- raise `ActorFailure` with child status when process death wins
- prioritize observed death over a simultaneous handshake
- preserve waiter exceptions without `ExceptionGroup` wrapping
- log expected losing-waiter cancellation at debug level
- remove exact failed-startup peer events during backend cleanup
- cover controlled schedules and full Trio backend cleanup

+# `_ria_nursery` removal plan (issue #477 follow-up)
+
+Goal: drop the secondary "run-in-actor" spawn nursery (and
+friends) from `ActorNursery`/spawn internals, now that
+`tractor.to_actor.run()` delivers one-shot semantics purely on
+the daemon-spawn + portal primitives.
+
+## Verified machinery map (2026-07-02, wkt @ a34aaf98)
+
+The entire mechanism is 4 files:
+
+- `runtime/_supervise.py`
+  - `ActorNursery.__init__(.., ria_nursery, ..)` stores
+    `._ria_nursery` (:202, :238); sole read is
+    `run_in_actor()` passing `nursery=self._ria_nursery`
+    (:442) into `start_actor()`'s `nursery:
+    trio.Nursery|None` escape-hatch param (:305, :367).
+  - `._cancel_after_result_on_exit: set` (:244) marks ria
+    portals (:457).
+  - `_open_and_supervise_one_cancels_all_nursery()` nests
+    `da_nursery` (:609) around `ria_nursery` (:622); the
+    `finally:` at the ria->da boundary (:747-766) raises
+    collected `errors` (single exc or BEG).
+- `runtime/_portal.py`
+  - `._expect_result_ctx` (:112) set by `_submit_for_result()`
+    (:142, sole caller `run_in_actor()`); consumed by
+    `wait_for_result()` (:167) + deprecated `result()` (:220).
+    The `None` branch (:184-196) returns the `NoResult`
+    sentinel (`_exceptions.py:1164`).
+- `spawn/_spawn.py`
+  - `exhaust_portal()` (:129): awaits
+    `portal.wait_for_result()`, CATCHES+RETURNS any exc
+    (never raises).
+  - `cancel_on_completion()` (:177): `exhaust_portal()` ->
+    on exc-result stash `errors[uid] = result` (:203) ->
+    ALWAYS `portal.cancel_actor()` (:218).
+- `spawn/_trio.py` (:195-222) + `spawn/_mp.py` (:187-213),
+  identical shape: after shielded
+  `await an._join_procs.wait()`, open a per-child local
+  nursery; IFF `portal in an._cancel_after_result_on_exit`
+  start `cancel_on_completion` alongside `soft_kill()`; when
+  `soft_kill` returns first, `nursery.cancel_scope.cancel()`
+  reaps the result-waiter.
+
+## The load-bearing semantic (already-deferred errors)
+
+Remote ria-child errors NEVER raise into `ria_nursery`:
+
+1. reaper tasks only START after `_join_procs.set()` (block
+   exit or the inner error handler),
+2. `exhaust_portal` swallows the exc into a return value,
+3. `cancel_on_completion` stashes it in `errors` + cancels
+   that child,
+4. the ria->da `finally:` re-raises collected `errors` (and
+   `an.cancel()`s any daemon stragglers).
+
+So mid-block there is NO error propagation from ria children
+(unless user code explicitly `await portal.wait_for_result()`s)
+— the two-nursery nesting only sequences "reap ria results
+BEFORE blocking on daemon join". A single-nursery impl only
+needs to preserve that sequencing, not any ASAP-cancel
+behavior.
+
+## Target design
+
+### step A: single-nursery `run_in_actor()` (mechanical)
+
+- `run_in_actor()` spawns via the DEFAULT (`_da_nursery`)
+  path — drop `nursery=self._ria_nursery`.
+- rename `._cancel_after_result_on_exit` ->
+  `._ria_portals: dict[portal, Actor]` (need the subactor ref
+  for `cancel_on_completion`).
+- move reaper start-up OUT of the backends into
+  `_open_and_supervise...`: immediately after EACH
+  `an._join_procs.set()` call-site (happy path :642, inner
+  error handler :661), start one
+  `cancel_on_completion(portal, subactor, errors)` task per
+  ria portal into `da_nursery`, then (happy path only)
+  `await` their completion BEFORE falling out of the
+  `try:`/`finally:` that raises `errors` — e.g. gather in a
+  dedicated inner `trio.open_nursery()` block replacing
+  today's `ria_nursery` join point.
+- delete the membership branch + local reaper nursery from
+  `_trio.py`/`_mp.py` (keep the `soft_kill()` call; the
+  per-child local nursery collapses to just `soft_kill`).
+- `_trio.py:310` `_children.pop()` etc. unchanged.
+
+### step B: delete the plumbing
+
+- `_open_and_supervise...`: drop the inner
+  `ria_nursery` + merge its `except BaseException` classify
+  logic into ONE handler on the (now single) nursery scope;
+  `ActorNursery.__init__` loses the `ria_nursery` param.
+- `start_actor()` loses the `nursery:` escape-hatch param
+  (the :302-304 TODO).
+- backends: no more `_cancel_after_result_on_exit` refs.
+
+### step C: (separate PRs) deprecate + migrate + excise
+
+- migrate in-repo `.run_in_actor()` usage to
+  `to_actor.run()`: tests 46 hits/9 files (test_cancellation
+  15, test_infected_asyncio 10, test_spawning 8, registrar 3,
+  adv_streaming 4, pubsub 2, rpc 1, runtime 1), examples 28
+  hits/13 files (debugging/* dominate), docs 20 hits/8 rst
+  files. NOTE: many sites also use deprecated
+  `Portal.result()`/`wait_for_result()` — these die with
+  `_expect_result_ctx`, so migration must land FIRST.
+- add `DeprecationWarning` to `run_in_actor()` (+
+  `_submit_for_result`/`wait_for_result`).
+- final excision: `run_in_actor()`, `_submit_for_result`,
+  `_expect_result_ctx`, `wait_for_result`/`result`,
+  `exhaust_portal`, `cancel_on_completion`, `NoResult`.
+
+## Risk register
+
+1. hard-killed ria child: today the backend-local
+   `nursery.cancel_scope.cancel()` discards a still-parked
+   reaper when the proc dies first; a da_nursery-hosted
+   reaper instead sees the transport break ->
+   `exhaust_portal` returns a `TransportClosed`-ish exc ->
+   NEW entry in `errors` that today gets discarded. Guard:
+   reap-gather block must cancel remaining reapers once all
+   ria procs are dead, or filter transport-death excs for
+   already-`cancel_called` children.
+2. error-path ordering: inner handler today sets
+   `_join_procs` THEN `an.cancel()`; reapers race the
+   cancel-RPC. Keep that ordering when moving reaper spawn.
+3. debugger interplay: `maybe_wait_for_debugger()` calls
+   (:654, :730) must stay BEFORE any reap/cancel issuance.
+4. `errors` double-entry: local body error (:646) + child's
+   relayed exc (via reaper) can both land for the same
+   scenario -> BEG shape changes vs today? (today has the
+   same dual-write sites; keep behavior identical.)
+5. mp backend parity: mirror every `_trio.py` edit in
+   `_mp.py` (identical block).
+
+## Step-A first-probe findings (2026-07-02, WIP in tree)
+
+Step A is IMPLEMENTED (uncommitted):
+`run_in_actor()` spawns via da_nursery; new
+`_supervise._reap_ria_portals()` helper; reap awaited after
+happy-path `_join_procs.set()`; error-path runs reap
+CONCURRENT with `an.cancel()` in the shielded block;
+backends stripped of the membership branch + per-child
+reaper nursery (+ dead imports).
+
+Probe history (trio backend):
+- `tests/test_to_actor.py` + `tests/test_spawning.py`:
+  20/20 PASS — incl. all `run_in_actor()` result
+  round-trips + `test_remote_error` (single erroring child,
+  body re-raise -> inner error path).
+- FIRST attempt ran the error-path reap CONCURRENT with
+  `an.cancel()` (mimicking the old backend-side race):
+  `test_cancellation.py::test_multierror` (2 erroring ria
+  children, body re-raises one) DEADLOCKED. Root cause per
+  the sequencing fix below: reap + cancel must NOT race at
+  this layer (suspected `._children` pop-during-iteration
+  and/or double-cancel RPC wedge; not fully root-caused
+  since the fix removes the race wholesale).
+- FIX (2nd attempt, current impl): error path SEQUENCES:
+  (1) snapshot ria `(portal, subactor)` pairs (backend
+  `finally`s pop `._children` as procs reap), (2)
+  `await an.cancel()`, (3) bounded reap over the snapshot.
+  Bound was first 3s -> blew the `fail_after` deadline in
+  `test_cancel_while_childs_child_in_sync_sleep` (hard-
+  killed grandchild never relays => reaper parks the full
+  bound). Tightened to 0.5s: anything collectable is
+  already queued in the local ctx (relayed BEFORE the
+  cancel); a parked reaper self-cleans (`trio.Cancelled`
+  results are never stashed).
+- RESULT: `tests/test_cancellation.py` FULLY GREEN
+  (20 passed, 1 xfailed, 77s); full-suite gate run kicked
+  off same session (see final report/next session).
+
+Remaining risk: on slow CI a relayed-but-undelivered error
+racing the 0.5s bound could drop an `errors` entry
+(BEG-shape flake); if observed, scale the bound via the
+`cpu_perf_headroom()`-style approach or peek
+`Portal._final_result_msg`/ctx queue state instead of
+time-bounding.
+
+## Step-B outcome (2026-07-02, done in tree)
+
+Step A landed as `5cd190c5` (code) + `99310269` (docs).
+Step B implemented on top (uncommitted):
+
+- `._ria_nursery` is GONE — the inner
+  `async with (collapse_eg(), trio.open_nursery() as
+  ria_nursery)` layer in
+  `_open_and_supervise_one_cancels_all_nursery` is deleted;
+  `da_nursery` is now the single nursery for ALL subactors.
+- `ActorNursery.__init__` drops the `ria_nursery` param +
+  the `self._ria_nursery` attr; `start_actor()` drops its
+  `nursery=` escape-hatch param (uses `self._da_nursery`
+  directly).
+- `._cancel_after_result_on_exit` STAYS — it's the
+  ria-child discriminator for `_reap_ria_portals()`.
+
+Deliberately NOT done (deferred to its own higher-risk PR,
+flagged with a TODO at the outer `except`): merging the two
+error handlers into one. Rationale — collapsing the empty
+nursery is provably behavior-preserving (a zero-task
+`trio.open_nursery()` only adds a checkpoint), whereas the
+inner `except BaseException` (swallow-into-`errors`) and
+outer `except (...)` (re-raise, safety-net for the inner
+handler's own non-shielded awaits) have DIFFERENT
+semantics; merging changes error/cancel propagation and
+wants isolated review + its own gate. Both handlers are
+kept, now nested directly under the single nursery.
+
+Why the collapse is safe: post-step-A NOTHING spawns into
+`ria_nursery` (its only reader, `run_in_actor`'s
+`nursery=self._ria_nursery`, was removed in A; the stored
+attr was never read again). So the layer was pure dead
+weight.
+
+Gate (trio backend, all 0-failure):
+- targeted set (`test_cancellation test_spawning test_local
+  test_rpc test_to_actor`) = 49 passed, 1 xfailed.
+- tail set (`test_reg_err_types remote_exc_relay
+  resource_cache ringbuf root_infect_asyncio root_runtime
+  runtime shm task_broadcasting trioisms trionics/`) = 63
+  passed, 1 skipped, 5 xfailed.
+- full-suite head ~73% (subdirs + `test_2way`..`test_pubsub`)
+  = 303 passed before the known-flaky `test_dynamic_pub_sub`
+  TooSlowError stall (pre-existing; same hang in the step-A
+  full run). Suite ran slow this session (~13min vs 555s
+  cold, likely thermal from back-to-back runs), never
+  completing within an 800s bound — but split across the
+  above three runs EVERY module passed under step B.
+
+## Step-B2 outcome (2026-07-02, done in tree)
+
+Step B committed as `9201a2ed` (code) + `d2e812fb` (docs), then
+branched to `drop_ria_nursery`. Step B2 (the deferred
+handler-merge) implemented on top (uncommitted):
+
+- the two nested handlers in
+  `_open_and_supervise_one_cancels_all_nursery` collapse to
+  ONE `except BaseException as _scope_err` + the existing
+  `finally`. The `outer_err`/`inner_err` locals go away.
+
+Why it's safe (trace, not hope): the OLD inner handler records
+`errors[actor.aid.uid]` as its FIRST statement (before any
+await). So whenever an error path runs, `errors` is non-empty.
+The OLD outer handler was only reachable via leakage from the
+inner handler (it catches `BaseException`, so nothing from the
+`yield` scope bypasses it) — and by then `errors` is already
+populated, so the `finally`'s `raise` from `errors` ALWAYS
+superseded the outer handler's own `raise`. i.e. the outer
+`raise` was dead. The outer handler's other effects
+(`_scope_error`, a 2nd debugger-wait, child-cancel) are
+redundant with the merged handler + `finally`. So one handler
++ `finally` is observably equivalent.
+
+Residual nuance (accepted): in the rare "`trio.Cancelled`
+delivered during the non-shielded `maybe_wait_for_debugger`"
+path, the merged form may leave `_cancel_called` False (cancel
+happens after the wait), so `open_nursery`'s tb-hiding guard
+(`not cancel_called and _scope_error`) can show a tb it
+previously hid. More informative, not less; no test asserts on
+it.
+
+Gate (box ran ~2.7x slow this session, load-induced
+`TooSlowError` flakiness on timing tests — NOT code; see
+[[env_cpu_throttle_masquerades_as_regression]]):
+- baseline (pre-B2 tip `9201a2ed`) full suite
+  (`-k 'not dynamic_pub_sub'`) = 300 passed + 1
+  `test_ext_types_over_ipc` `TooSlowError` that passes 6/6 in
+  isolation (4.89s).
+- B2 error/cancel gate (`test_cancellation remote_exc_relay
+  inter_peer_cancellation advanced_faults oob_cancellation
+  to_actor spawning local rpc`) = 71 passed, 1 xfailed
+  (125s).
+- B2 full-suite run: see `b2_full.log` (result appended on
+  completion). RECOMMEND a clean full-suite run on a
+  normal-speed box before this merges.
+
+## Regression + fix: ria-reap hang (2026-07-02)
+
+Human hit a full-suite hang on
+`test_infected_asyncio.py::test_tractor_cancels_aio`. Bisected:
+passes at pre-ria `a34aaf98` (0.59s), hangs at B2 `e617b498`
+(90s+). Root-caused to the STEP-A reaper hoist (`5cd190c5`),
+NOT B2 (`_reap_ria_portals` is byte-identical A->B2).
+
+Bug: the test does `run_in_actor(asyncio_actor)` then a USER
+`portal.cancel_actor()` and exits the block cleanly -> the
+happy path's `await _reap_ria_portals()`, which waits UNBOUNDED
+on `cancel_on_completion -> wait_for_result()`. The child was
+cancelled out-of-band so no final result is relayed -> parked
+forever. The OLD spawn-backend reaper was raced against
+`soft_kill()` (per-child nursery `cancel_scope.cancel()` on
+subproc death); the hoist dropped that race.
+
+Fix: `_reap_ria_portals()` runs each `cancel_on_completion()`
+in a local nursery alongside a `proc.poll()` death-watch that
+cancels the parked reaper once the subproc exits — restoring
+the old race, backend-agnostic (guarded by
+`hasattr(proc, 'poll')` for a future `subint` handle).
+
+Why POLL (`proc.poll()`) not the event-driven `wait_func`:
+the mp waiter (`_spawn.proc_waiter`) does
+`wait_readable(proc.sentinel)`, and `soft_kill()` is ALREADY
+awaiting that same fd concurrently in the daemon nursery — a
+2nd `wait_readable` on one fd raises `trio.BusyResourceError`.
+(`trio.Process.wait()` IS multi-waiter-safe, but mp has no
+async equivalent.) `proc.poll()` — the same liveness check
+`soft_kill` itself falls back to — is the conflict-free common
+denominator. Verified: poll-fix passes on BOTH trio and
+mp_spawn.
+
+Also added a per-test anti-hang guard: wrapped
+`test_tractor_cancels_aio`'s `main()` in
+`with trio.fail_after(9 * cpu_perf_headroom())` — the blessed
+pattern (`pytest-timeout`'s global cap is intentionally off;
+breaks trio under fork backends, see `pyproject` NOTE). So a
+future recurrence FAILS FAST instead of hanging the suite.
+(Several other tests in the file are still guardless —
+`test_aio_simple_error`, `test_trio_error_cancels_intertask_chan`,
+`test_aio_errors_and_channel_propagates_and_closes` — candidate
+follow-up sweep.)
+
+Lesson: the B2 focused gate OMITTED `test_infected_asyncio`
+(and the full runs were clipped/slow), so the step-A hang
+slipped through. Any future ria-touching change MUST gate
+`test_infected_asyncio` explicitly.
+
+Gate: `test_tractor_cancels_aio` green (trio 1.53s, mp 3.98s);
+fix gate (`test_infected_asyncio test_cancellation test_to_actor
+test_spawning`) = 74 passed, 3 xfailed, 0 failures.
+
+## PAUSED (2026-07-02): re-assess the reaper's SCOPE
+
+User's insight (compelling — likely the real root cause of
+the hang, not just the missing proc-death race):
+
+> the "hoisting" of 5cd190c5 was just not really done right
+> — the hoist should have been into the `to_actor` scope,
+> not `_supervise`.
+
+The argument: `.run_in_actor()`'s result-waiting/reaping got
+hoisted into `_supervise._reap_ria_portals` (nursery-machinery
+scope), which has NO natural cancel-scope to bound a parked
+`wait_for_result()` — hence the awkward proc-death race +
+the poll-vs-`proc_waiter` dilemma. If the result-wait instead
+lived in the `to_actor` one-shot scope
+(`to_actor._invoke_in_subactor()`), it would sit right next to
+the caller's `an` + a local `trio` task-nursery + cancel-scope
+(the `trio.to_thread`-style model #477 actually wants) — so
+bounding/cancelling the wait is trivial and the hang
+dissolves from correct scoping rather than a bolt-on race.
+
+Follow-on to re-evaluate on resume:
+- should `_reap_ria_portals` exist AT ALL, or should
+  result-waiting move entirely into
+  `to_actor._invoke_in_subactor()`?
+- reimplement legacy `run_in_actor()` on top of
+  `to_actor.run()` so `_reap_ria_portals` +
+  `_cancel_after_result_on_exit` can be DROPPED from
+  `_supervise` entirely (the true #477 simplification)?
+- the poll-vs-event decision is MOOT under this re-scoping.
+
+State at pause: `test_infected_asyncio` anti-hang guard
+COMMITTED (`d1fb4a1a`, intentionally red w/o the fix — the
+user's failing-test-first convention). The poll-based reap
+fix in `_supervise.py` is UNCOMMITTED and likely SUPERSEDED
+by the re-scoping — do NOT land it as-is.
+
+## RESOLVED (2026-07-06): migrate everything, remove the API
+
+The PAUSED re-assessment concluded decisively: rather than
+re-scope `_reap_ria_portals` (or bolt any hack onto it), the
+`run_in_actor()` API itself was REMOVED — its non-blocking
+"result at teardown" semantic predates streaming and confused
+more than it served. Every in-repo caller was migrated
+per-file/-group (each its own commit, each gated):
+
+- tests: `test_infected_asyncio` `test_runtime` `test_rpc`
+  `test_spawning` `test_pubsub` `test_registrar`
+  `test_cancellation` (3 groups) `test_advanced_streaming`.
+- examples: 4 non-debugging + all 8 `debugging/` REPL scripts
+  (debugger suite byte-identical green, 28p/6s).
+- docs: 8 rst pages + the `experimental/_pubsub` docstring.
+
+Migration patterns (the `run_in_actor` shape -> successor):
+
+- blocking result        -> `to_actor.run(fn, an=an, ...)`
+- fire-&-forget/forever  -> bg `to_actor.run()` task in a local
+                            `trio` task-nursery (or `start_actor`
+                            + bg `Portal.run()` when a portal
+                            handle is needed)
+- concurrent fan-out     -> N bg `to_actor.run()` tasks / or
+                            `gather_contexts([p.open_context(..)])`
+- reap-all-error-collect -> the "collect don't cancel" pattern:
+                            each one-shot catches + stashes its
+                            `RemoteActorError`, group raised
+                            after the task-nursery joins (see
+                            `examples/debugging/multi_subactors.py`)
+- mutual-rendezvous      -> peers must OUTLIVE both dialogs:
+                            `start_actor()` daemons + concurrent
+                            `Portal.run()`s + explicit

+                            `test_trynamic_trio` flake).
+
+Semantic deltas (tests loosened accordingly):
+
+- teardown-reap-all BEG-of-N is GONE: local task-nurseries are
+  cancel-on-first, raced siblings' `Cancelled`s are absorbed,
+  and the runtime's `collapse_eg()` unwraps every single-member
+  group at each actor boundary — a fully-raced nested tree
+  relays a bare (annotated) `RemoteActorError` chain.
+- `test_multierror_fast_nursery`'s obsolete BEG-of-25 assertion
+  deleted; `test_concurrent_start_error_reaps_all` retains its
+  high-fan-out startup/cancel/reap stress under caller-scoped
+  semantics.
+- `test_nested_multierrors` re-purposed separately as deep-tree
+  cancel-cascade stress w/ a race-tolerant shape walk.
+
+Final excision (after zero callers remained): `run_in_actor()`,
+`._cancel_after_result_on_exit`, `_reap_ria_portals()`,
+`Portal._submit_for_result/._expect_result_ctx/
+.wait_for_result()/.result()`, `exhaust_portal()`,
+`cancel_on_completion()`, `NoResult` — net -402 lines. The
+reap-hang class (unbounded `wait_for_result` in machinery
+scope) dissolves structurally: the only result-wait left lives
+in the caller's task inside its own cancel-scope; the
+`d1fb4a1a` anti-hang guard test passes by construction. The
+poll-vs-`proc_waiter` debate is moot as predicted.
+
+## Follow-up sketch: `to_actor.open_one_shot()` (run-async parity)
+
+If deferred-result parity is ever wanted, the design that needs
+NO runtime coupling, NO returned `Portal` and NO cancel-relay
+`trio.Event` machinery:
+
+    async with to_actor.open_one_shot(
+        fn, an=an, **kws,
+    ) as one_shot:
+        ...                       # concurrent caller work
+        val = await one_shot.wait()   # optional; errors always
+                                      # propagate at scope exit
+
+an `@acm` that opens a private task-nursery, `start_soon`s ONE
+task running the existing blocking `run()` and stashes the
+value in a slot + sets a done-`trio.Event` (a memo, not a
+cancel relay). Cancellation = plain scope-cancel of the acm's
+nursery (the parked `Portal.run()` unwinds via `Cancelled`, the
+shielded `cancel_actor()` reap still runs); a child error
+raises into the acm scope so an un-`wait()`ed one-shot can
+never silently drop its error. i.e. the old reaper's job is
+done by scoping, not machinery. ~40 lines, all in
+`to_actor/_api.py`, zero `_supervise` involvement.
+
+## Verification gate
+
+- per-migration-commit module gates on `trio` (+ `mp_spawn`
+  spot-gates incl. `test_infected_asyncio` per the B2 lesson);
+  `tests/devx/test_debugger.py` for the REPL flows.

+
+Issue #477 asks to factor `ActorNursery.run_in_actor()`
+(and possibly `Portal.run()`) out of the nursery
+internals into a new `tractor.to_actor` wrapper
+subpackage of "higher level one shot" single-remote-task
+APIs, adopting the `trio.to_thread`/`anyio.to_process`
+parlance, so that error collection/propagation moves up
+into the caller's local `trio` scope and the nursery's
+spawn machinery can eventually drop the
+`._ria_nursery` coupling.
+
+## Response summary
+
+First-cut `tractor.to_actor` subpkg delivering the
+one-shot API composed purely from the existing
+daemon-spawn + portal primitives (`start_actor()` +
+`Portal.run()` + `Portal.cancel_actor()`), leaving the
+legacy `.run_in_actor()` machinery untouched (formal
+deprecation deferred until in-repo usage migrates):
+
+- `to_actor.run(fn, **fn_kwargs) -> Any`: spawn a
+  subactor, schedule `fn` as its lone remote task, wait
+  on and return its result, ALWAYS reaping the subactor
+  (shield-safe `finally`). Remote errors raise in the
+  caller's task as boxed `RemoteActorError`s.
+- placement variants: `portal=` reuses a running actor
+  (no spawn/reap), `an=` spawns from a caller-managed
+  actor-nursery, neither opens a call-scoped private
+  `open_nursery()` (implicitly booting the runtime,
+  configurable via `runtime_kwargs`).
+- fail-fast validation before any spawn: non-streaming
+  async fn required; `portal=`/`an=` mutually
+  exclusive; `runtime_kwargs` rejected alongside any
+  placement opt.
+- `run_in_actor()` TODO/docstring now cross-reference
+  the successor API.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/to_actor/__init__.py` — new subpkg,
+  re-exports `run`
+- `tractor/to_actor/_api.py` — `run()` +
+  `_invoke_in_subactor()` + `_validate_one_shot_fn()`

+
+The one-shot invocation impl, composed entirely from the

+
+- `_validate_one_shot_fn()`: the `Portal.run()`
+  non-streaming-async-fn constraint checked up-front,

+- `_invoke_in_subactor()`: `an.start_actor()` ->
+  `Portal.run()` -> always-reap via
+  `Portal.cancel_actor()` in a `finally` (the cancel
+  req's bounded wait is internally shielded so the reap
+  also runs under caller-scope cancellation).
+- `run()`: the public API. Placement options:
+  `portal=` (reuse a running actor, no spawn/reap),
+  `an=` (spawn from a caller-managed nursery), or
+  neither (private `open_nursery()` scoped to the call,
+  implicitly booting the runtime when needed, tunable
+  via pass-through `runtime_kwargs`). Spawn opts mirror
+  `ActorNursery.start_actor()`; `**fn_kwargs` are
+  relayed to the remote task. Errors raise in the

+
+(The prompt's issue-number/URL mismatch was resolved in
+favor of #473 — file name, session name and prompt text
+all say #473; the `/474` URL is a typo.)
+
+GH #473: "Root-cause UDS-on-macOS —
+`uds_transport_actor_tree` example fails on CI".
+
+## Response summary
+
+Worked all four #473 next-step checkboxes in wkt
+`uds_macos_473`:
+
+1. **stderr surfacing**: `test_docs_examples.py` now
+   raises with the full subproc stderr (+stdout) on ANY
+   non-zero exit. The old last-line-'Error' check could
+   never fire for `tractor` crashes since root-actor
+   stderr always ends with the strict-EG collapse note
+   `( ^^^ this exc was collapsed from a group ^^^ )` —
+   proven against the real PR #460 macOS CI log (bare
+   `assert 1 == 0`, no traceback).
+2. **root-cause (linux-provable layer)**: macOS-only
+   addr corruption in
+   `MsgpackUDSStream.get_stream_addrs()` — no
+   `SO_PASSCRED`/autobind on darwin means the accept
+   side's `getpeername()` is `''`, and the
+   `(str(), str())` arm took `peername` unconditionally →
+   `Path('')` garbage addrs on every accepted conn.
+   Proven + fixed via linux no-autobind simulation.
+   Possibly not the final macOS crasher (non-fatal on
+   linux-sim); the diagnostic patch guarantees the next
+   macOS CI run shows any remaining layer.
+3. **CI matrix**: removed the `macos-latest`+`uds`
+   exclude.
+4. **un-skip**: dropped the macOS+CI skip of the example.
+
+Also: `start_listener()` bindspace mkdir hardened
+(`parents=True, exist_ok=True`), example docstring
+peer-pid mechanism corrected for macOS.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tests/test_docs_examples.py` — surface full stderr on
+  non-zero exit; remove macOS skip of the UDS example
+- `tractor/ipc/_uds.py` — fix no-autobind
+  `get_stream_addrs()` arm; harden bindspace mkdir;

+
+## Diagnostic narrative (verbatim)
+
+Root-cause work proceeded by linux-side simulation since no
+macOS host is available:
+
+1. Pulled the actual macOS CI failure log from PR #460 run
+   28343878933 (job 84115107992): the failure is a bare
+   `assert 1 == 0` on `proc.returncode` with NO stderr
+   surfaced — the harness only re-raised when the LAST
+   stderr line contained 'Error'.
+
+2. Reproduced the stderr-swallow mechanism on linux: any
+   `tractor` root-actor crash ends stderr with the
+   strict-EG collapse note
+   `( ^^^ this exc was collapsed from a group ^^^ )` which
+   never matches 'Error' — so EVERY possible crash was
+   swallowed. (Verified by sabotaging the runtime dir via
+   an over-long `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` → `OSError: AF_UNIX path
+   too long` → rc=1 + swallowed.)
+
+3. Found + proved a macOS-only addr-corruption bug in
+   `MsgpackUDSStream.get_stream_addrs()`: the
+   `(str(), str())` match-arm unconditionally took
+   `peername`, but on no-autobind platforms (macOS lacks
+   linux's `SO_PASSCRED`-triggered autobind) the accept
+   side's `getpeername()` is `''` → `Path('')` garbage
+   laddr/raddr on EVERY accepted UDS conn. Simulated on
+   linux by nulling `SO_PASSCRED` (no autobind → same `''`
+   shape): pre-fix the example printed
+   `listener sock file: .`; post-fix it prints the real
+   registry sockpath. Non-fatal on linux-sim (rc=0), so
+   possibly not the final macOS crasher — the diagnostic
+   patch guarantees the next macOS CI run reveals any
+   remaining layer.
+
+4. Falsified the missing-parent-dir theory:
+   `get_rt_dir()` already `mkdir(parents=True,
+   exist_ok=True)`s at import (and macOS TCP CI passes),
+   so `~/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems` absence cannot be
+   the crasher. Hardened `start_listener()`'s bindspace
+   mkdir anyway (custom `filedir` case + racing actors).

+Issue #470 asks to trim the ~0.42s `import tractor`
+cost — which dominates per-actor spawn latency on the
+`trio` backend — by lazy-importing heavy/optional deps
+(`pdbp`, `stackscope`, `multiaddr`, + audit of
+`colorlog`/`bidict`/`wrapt`/`setproctitle`).
+
+## Response summary
+
+Profiling showed the issue's dep-list only accounted
+for ~20ms; the dominant cost (~244ms) was
+`log.get_logger()`'s `get_caller_mod()` calling
+`inspect.stack()` at module level in ~39 modules —
+each call walks every stack frame (deep during nested
+imports) and scans `sys.modules` per frame via
+`inspect.getmodule()`.
+
+Changes, in impact order:
+
+1. `get_caller_mod()` -> `sys._getframe()` +
+   `f_globals['__name__']` `sys.modules` lookup
+   (~240ms saved).
+2. Issue's lazy-import checklist: `bidict`,
+   `multiaddr`, `colorlog`, `wrapt` moved to
+   `TYPE_CHECKING`/function-local imports;
+   `platformdirs` function-local; `asyncio` +
+   `.to_asyncio` deferred out of the `devx.debug` +
+   `spawn._entry` eager paths (~15ms saved).
+3. PEP 562 `__getattr__` on `tractor/__init__.py`
+   preserving public `tractor.to_asyncio` attr access.
+
+Results: `import tractor` 0.42s -> ~0.145s (~65%);
+sequential `start_actor` latency 0.40-0.44s ->
+~0.179s/actor. `pdbp` (needs `_repl.py` class-base
+restructure) + `platformdirs` (needs
+`UDSAddress.def_bindspace` protocol rework) documented
+as follow-ups.

+## Profiling findings (verbatim analysis output)
+
+Baseline: `import tractor` ~0.39-0.42s wall.
+
+`python -X importtime` + `cProfile` traced the cost NOT
+primarily to third-party deps (the issue's hypothesis)
+but to `tractor/log.py:get_logger()` calling
+`get_caller_mod()` -> `inspect.stack()` at module level
+in ~39 tractor modules:
+
+- `inspect.stack()` builds `FrameInfo` (incl. src-file
+  and line-context resolution) for EVERY frame on the
+  stack; during nested imports the stack is dozens of
+  importlib frames deep.
+- each `FrameInfo` resolution calls
+  `inspect.getmodule()` which scans all of
+  `sys.modules` per frame (1.4M `ismodule()` calls in
+  one profiled import).
+- aggregate: ~244ms of tractor-own module "self" time
+  vs ~20ms for ALL the issue-listed third-party deps
+  (`pdbp` ~10ms, `bidict` ~4.5ms, `multiaddr` ~3.5ms,
+  `wrapt`/`colorlog` ~1ms each); `trio` itself is
+  ~70-100ms and unavoidable.

+## Measured results (verbatim)
+
+- `import tractor`: 0.39-0.42s -> ~0.145s (~65% cut)
+- `start_actor` spawn+boot+reg+cancel: ~0.40-0.44s ->
+  ~0.179s/actor (n=5 sequential, warm parent)
+- post-change eager-module check: only `pdbp` +
+  `platformdirs` of the issue's list remain eager.
+
+## Known follow-ups (not implemented, deadline-bound)
+
+- `pdbp` (~10ms): still eager via
+  `devx/debug/_repl.py` class bases
+  (`class PdbREPL(pdbp.Pdb)`) + `_tty_lock.py`
+  module-level `@pdbp.hideframe`; needs `_repl`
+  restructure + PEP 562 in `devx.debug.__init__`.
+- `platformdirs` (~1.5ms): eager via
+  `UDSAddress.def_bindspace: ClassVar = get_rt_dir()`
+  class-body call; needs `Address`-protocol rework of
+  `def_bindspace` to a lazy accessor.
+- `stackscope` + `setproctitle`: already lazy/absent —
+  no change needed.

+
+## Response summary
+
+Step A of the `._ria_nursery` removal (issue #477): hoist
+`.run_in_actor()` result-reaping out of the spawn
+backends into the `ActorNursery` machinery so ria
+children spawn via the default daemon nursery,
+
+- new `_supervise._reap_ria_portals()` runs one
+  `_spawn.cancel_on_completion()` task per ria child
+  AFTER `._join_procs` is set; happy path awaits it
+  right after `._join_procs.set()`.
+- error path SEQUENCES: snapshot ria
+  `(portal, subactor)` pairs -> `await an.cancel()` ->
+  0.5s-bounded reap. Two failed intermediates informed
+  this: a concurrent reap+cancel DEADLOCKED
+  `test_multierror`; a 3s bound blew
+  `test_cancel_while_childs_child_in_sync_sleep`'s
+  `fail_after` deadline.
+- backends (`spawn/_trio.py`, `spawn/_mp.py`) lose the
+  `._cancel_after_result_on_exit` membership branch,
+  per-child reaper nursery + dead imports.
+- design/probe-history doc:
+  `ai/conc-anal/ria_nursery_removal_plan.md` (from an
+  agent-verified machinery map).
+
+Verification: `test_cancellation.py` fully green
+(20 passed, 1 xfailed) incl. the previously-hung
+`test_multierror`; `test_to_actor`+`test_spawning`
+20/20; bounded full-suite gate SIGINT'd ~30s early at
+303 passed / 0 failures (user opted to commit on that
+signal, deferring the unbounded re-run to step-B
+verification).
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/runtime/_supervise.py` — `_reap_ria_portals()`
+  + two call-sites; `run_in_actor()` off the ria nursery
+- `tractor/spawn/_trio.py` — reaper branch + import drop
+- `tractor/spawn/_mp.py` — same as `_trio.py`

+## Response summary
+
+Step B2 of the `._ria_nursery` removal (issue #477): merge the
+two nested error handlers in
+`_open_and_supervise_one_cancels_all_nursery` into one, now
+that the 2ndary nursery (whose `__aexit__` the outer handler
+originally guarded) is gone.
+
+Trace-driven justification (see
+`ai/conc-anal/ria_nursery_removal_plan.md` Step-B2 section):
+the old inner handler records `errors[uid]` as its FIRST
+action, so `errors` is always non-empty by the time control
+could reach the outer handler — making the outer handler's
+`raise` DEAD (always superseded by the `finally`'s
+raise-from-`errors`). Collapsing to a single
+`except BaseException as _scope_err` + the existing `finally`
+is therefore behavior-preserving.
+
+- removed the outer `try` + the
+  `except (Exception, BaseExceptionGroup, trio.Cancelled)`
+  handler; de-indented the inner handler one level.
+- dropped the now-unused `outer_err`/`inner_err` locals
+  (single `_scope_err`).
+- net ~30 lines lighter.
+
+Gated hard: baseline (pre-B2 tip) = 300 passed + 1
+load-induced `TooSlowError` flake (passes 6/6 in isolation);
+B2 error/cancel gate (`test_cancellation remote_exc_relay
+inter_peer_cancellation advanced_faults oob_cancellation
+to_actor spawning local rpc`) = 71 passed, 1 xfailed; B2
+full-suite run following.

+
+## Response summary
+
+Completed the entire #477 `run_in_actor` removal on
+`drop_ria_nursery` (16 commits this session), gated per-commit:
+
+- ported the remaining `test_cancellation` groups
+  (`some_cancels_all`, `nested_multierrors`+`spawn_and_error`,
+  SIGINT + sync-sleep) — one-shots become concurrent
+  `to_actor.run()` tasks in local task-nurseries; BEG-shape
+  assertions loosened for cancel-on-first + the runtime's
+  `collapse_eg()` single-member unwrap (a fully-raced nested
+  tree relays a bare annotated `RemoteActorError` chain).
+- fixed a pre-existing `UnboundLocalError` (`timeout` `match`
+  had no default arm for non-trio/MTF backends).
+- ported `test_dynamic_pub_sub`, 4 non-debugging examples, all
+  8 `debugging/` examples (debugger suite byte-identical,
+  28p/6s; `multi_subactors` introduces the "collect don't
+  cancel" reap-all replacement pattern), 8 docs pages + the
+  `experimental/_pubsub` docstring.
+- EXCISED the API + cluster: `run_in_actor`,
+  `_reap_ria_portals`, `_cancel_after_result_on_exit`,
+  `Portal._submit_for_result/_expect_result_ctx/
+  wait_for_result/result`, `exhaust_portal`,
+  `cancel_on_completion`, `NoResult` — net -402 lines. The
+  reap-hang class dissolves structurally (result-waits now only
+  in caller task-scope).
+- found + fixed a real migration race: mutual-rendezvous peers
+  (`test_trynamic_trio`, `a_trynamic_first_scene.py`) flaked
+  because an eagerly-reaped one-shot dies while its peer still
+  dials the registry-resolved (dead) sockaddr — such peers now
+  pin lifetimes via `start_actor()` + concurrent `Portal.run()`
+  + explicit `an.cancel()`.
+- `an: ActorNursery` naming sweep across tests/examples (±82
+  lines, scoped renames, prose untouched).
+- parked a `to_actor.open_one_shot()` design sketch (acm +
+  private task-nursery over blocking `run()`; done-Event as
+  memo not cancel-relay; no Portal) in the plan doc.

+
+With constraints: "be only slightly speculative"; realistic given
+the linked info; the plans must be workable "by another
+model/provider without much discrepancy on the design or lib
+selections needed"; do it all in a new `/open-wkt` off main; and

+
+## Response summary
+
+A research-and-planning branch, `ng_tpts_planning` — **no runtime
+code touched**. Five plan docs under `ai/tpt-backends/` plus a
+corrected `wg` example set under `examples/multihost/wg_lan/`,
+across 9 commits.
+
+Three design conclusions came out of the planning that outlive
+the branch:
+
+1. **`wg` is a bindspace, not a `MsgTransport`.** The `/wg/`
+   maddr segment is *infix*: bearer (underlay ip+udp
+   `ListenPort`, bound by the kernel) → `/wg/u<key>` (an
+   identity, bound by nothing) → overlay (the only part tractor
+   binds). Verified empirically by installing
+   `baudco/py-multiaddr@wg_support` (py-multiaddr#108) in a
+   throwaway venv and round-tripping each candidate form; gh
+   #482's original suffix form parses but is semantically
+   inverted.
+2. **Proto-key the `UnwrappedAddress` form**, spelled with the
+   `multiaddr` protocol names, dispatched via
+   `_address_types[addr[0]]`. Kills a whole collision class
+   (TIPC's `(str, int)` ≡ `TCPAddress`; iroh's `(str, str)`
+   swallowed by the UDS case) and is the recommended migration
+   *before* any new backend lands.
+3. **netns is a runtime/boot-time config API, not an app-code
+   one** — `setns(2)` is per-thread and won't move
+   already-created sockets, so there is deliberately no
+   `await actor.enter_netns(...)`.
+
+Also verified that `trio.SocketStream`/`SocketListener` are
+address-family agnostic (no `AF_*` check anywhere), which is what
+makes TIPC the cheapest of the three backends to add.
+
+Four related issues were annotated with the results (#378, #353,
+#482, #443); #443's body was rewritten to reflect the corrected
+grammar, with no existing checkbox state changed.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `ai/tpt-backends/00_shared_backend_contract.md` — normative
+  backend duck-type contract, registration checklist, §1.1
+  proto-key conclusion
+- `ai/tpt-backends/01_tipc_backend.md` — TIPC plan; service
+  addressing, `TIPC_TOP_SRV` push registry, instance-collision
+  hazard, step-0 probe
+- `ai/tpt-backends/02_quic_iroh_backend.md` — `iroh` plan;
+  `uniffi`→`trio` bridge, listener/stream adapters, API-truth
+  table
+- `ai/tpt-backends/03_wg_tunnel_bindspace.md` — `wg`-as-bindspace
+  plan; verified maddr grammar, 3-owner split, netns reality
+- `ai/tpt-backends/README.md` — index
+- `examples/multihost/wg_lan/wg_maddr.py` — frozen `msgspec`
+  tunnelled addr + pure parse/render helpers; impure
+  `verify_wg_peer()` kept separate
+- `examples/multihost/wg_lan/host_a_srv.py` — host-A actor tree
+- `examples/multihost/wg_lan/host_b_client.py` — host-B dialer
+- `examples/multihost/wg_lan/README.md` — grammar, owner table,
+  setup, "what changed vs #482"
+
+## Human edits
+
+Substantial human steering rather than post-hoc editing; the
+corrections were applied by the model in-session after being
+challenged:
+
+- rejected an initial claim that `wg` has "nothing to bind at the
+  tunnel layer" and supplied the correct composed maddr form,
+  which forced a rewrite of plan 03 §3.2 and a retraction in the
+  already-posted #443 comment
+- rejected a supporting claim that `/ip4/../udp/443/quic-v1` was
+  "also composed"
+- directed the proto-key/`ipaddress`-discipline conclusion and
+  the netns-as-runtime-config framing, both of which were then
+  folded back into the docs
+- chose the commit boundaries and authored all commits; ran every
+  `git` mutation (commit, rebase, push) themselves
+
+One model-initiated correction pre-publication: a self-review
+downgraded two overconfident claims (the `uniffi`/asyncio thesis
+and TIPC duplicate-binder behaviour) to explicitly-flagged
+assumptions before the #353/#378 comments were posted.

+Five markdown docs. `00_shared_backend_contract.md` is normative

+independently:
+
+- **`00_shared_backend_contract.md`** — the backend duck-type
+  (`<Proto>Address(msgspec.Struct, frozen=True)` + module-level
+  `start_listener()`/`close_listener()` + a
+  `Msgpack<Proto>Stream(MsgpackTransport)`), the

+- **`02_quic_iroh_backend.md`** — `iroh` over

+  built on `TrioToken.run_sync_soon()`, `trio.abc.Listener`/
+  `HalfCloseableStream` adapters, and an API-truth table to fill
+  in during step 0.
+- **`03_wg_tunnel_bindspace.md`** — `wg` as a *bindspace* rather
+  than a `MsgTransport`, a `TunnelledAddress` wrapper delegating
+  `.proto_key`/`.unwrap()` to `.inner`, `pyroute2` for layer B,
+  and `@acm`-managed netns/iface for layer C.
+- **`README.md`** — index.

+
+## Verified findings (non-code, verbatim)
+
+### `trio` is address-family agnostic
+
+Read against the installed `trio`. `SocketStream`/`SocketListener`
+ctor checks are only "is a trio sock object" + `type ==
+SOCK_STREAM`, plus an `OSError`-**suppressed** `SO_ACCEPTCONN`
+probe. No `AF_*` check anywhere; `TCP_NODELAY`/`TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT`
+are set under `suppress(OSError)`. A TIPC `SOCK_STREAM` sock should
+therefore drop straight into `trio.serve_listeners()` with the
+existing `MsgpackTransport` framing, making TIPC mostly
+table-registration boilerplate w/ zero new deps.
+
+### the `wg` maddr grammar — `/wg/` is infix, not suffix
+
+Installed `baudco/py-multiaddr@wg_support` (PR
+multiformats/py-multiaddr#108) into a throwaway venv and
+round-tripped every candidate form:
+
+| maddr | `[p.name for p in m.protocols()]` |
+| --- | --- |
+| `/ip4/1.2.3.4/udp/51820/wg/u<k>` | `['ip4','udp','wg']` |
+| `/ip4/../udp/../wg/u<k>/ip4/../tcp/..` | `['ip4','udp','wg','ip4','tcp']` |
+| `/ip4/10.0.11.1/tcp/1616/wg/u<k>` | `['ip4','tcp','wg']` |
+
+```
+/ip4/192.168.1.50/udp/51820/wg/u<A_pub>/ip4/10.0.11.1/tcp/1616
+\_______ bearer __________/\__ key __/\______ overlay ______/
+```
+
+Segments *before* `/wg/` are the bearer — the underlay
+`(ip, udp-port)` that `wg(8)` itself listens on (`ListenPort`).
+Segments *after* are the overlay endpoint, the only part tractor
+binds. The third row above is #482's original suffix form: it
+parses, but is semantically inverted.
+
+Three parts, three owners — and only one is an `Endpoint`:
+
+| part | bound by | in the runtime? |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| bearer | kernel, via `wg-quick`/`pyroute2` | no |
+| `/wg/u<key>` | nothing — an identity | no, verified out-of-band |
+| overlay | `tractor`'s `IPCServer` | yes, as `.inner` |
+
+### proto-key-tagged `UnwrappedAddress`
+
+Shape-matching in `wrap_address()` does not survive four backends.
+TIPC's natural unwrapped form is a `(str, int)`, indistinguishable
+from `TCPAddress`; iroh's is a `(str, str)`, already swallowed by
+the existing UDS case (`case (_, filename) if type(filename) is
+str`). Ordering hacks and prefix-tagging only paper over it.
+
+Recommended prerequisite for all three backends: carry an explicit
+proto-key spelled with the `multiaddr` protocol name —
+`('tcp', host, port)`, `('unix', path)`,
+`('tipc', stype, inst, scope)` — so `wrap_address()` collapses to
+`_address_types[addr[0]]` and the collision class stops existing.
+This also makes the on-wire form agree with
+`mk_maddr()`/`parse_maddr()` instead of being an independent
+invention. It is a wire-format change (`SpawnSpec`,
+`_root_mailbox`, `_registry_addrs`) plus every fixture and
+downstream config, so it wants its own migration commit landed
+before any new backend — and it is the moment to stop handing raw
+tuples to users at all, making `Address` the public currency and
+`UnwrappedAddress` an internal serialization detail (the
+discipline `ipaddress` uses).
+
+### netns is a runtime-level config API
+
+`setns(2)` affects the calling thread only and does not move
+already-created sockets. So a netns is a spawn/boot-time input
+alongside `enable_transports`/`tpt_bind_addrs`, and there is
+deliberately no `await actor.enter_netns(...)` — a mid-life API
+would silently leave the IPC server bound in the old namespace.
+Corollary for layer B: pass `netns=` down to `pyroute2` rather
+than assuming a `trio.to_thread` worker inherits it.
+
+### `examples/` collection would have failed CI
+
+`tests/test_docs_examples.py` walks `examples/` recursively and
+subproc-runs every collected file asserting `rc == 0`. Its filter
+never checks the extension, so all four `wg_lan` files were
+collected — including `README.md`, which would have been run as
+`python README.md`. `'multihost' not in p[0]` was already in the
+exclusion list with no directory using it. Moving the set under
+`examples/multihost/wg_lan/` drops collection 24 → 20 with zero
+test changes; confirmed via `pytest --collect-only`.
+
+## Corrections applied during the session
+
+The human corrected two claims that had been asserted without
+verification, both since retracted in-place in the docs and in the
+posted issue comments:
+
+1. that `wg` has "nothing to bind at the tunnel layer, exactly one
+   bind" — wrong; a wg stack is genuinely composed, and the real
+   axis is *who owns* each layer's endpoint.
+2. that `/ip4/../udp/443/quic-v1` was "also composed" — wrong;
+   that is one endpoint with a protocol qualifier, not a tunnel.
+
+A self-review before publication also downgraded two
+overconfident claims to explicitly-flagged assumptions: the
+`uniffi`-uses-asyncio-only-as-executor thesis (contradicted that
+plan's own "do not guess from memory" step 0) and TIPC's
+duplicate-binder round-robin behaviour (unverified).

+
+The recovered final prompt specifically called out the `uds` versus
+`unix` boundary decision, absent concrete `Address.namespace`
+implementations, the corrected namespace test, and the passing
+focused and wider suites.
+
+During review, the human further required that tunnelled-maddr work
+delegate to `multiaddr`'s encapsulation APIs, challenged the premature
+transport-shaped listener hooks and directed their removal, corrected
+the long-term bearer provisioning model, and confirmed the intended
+split between discovery metadata and bindspace lifecycle code.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Recovered the transcript and matched it to `wkts/addr_unpacking`,
+audited the staged implementation, and completed the interrupted
+verification and commit-plan work. The audit removed premature
+transport-shaped listener hooks, widened the namespace identifier
+type, updated stale import documentation, and removed an
+invalid-escape warning from the maddr diagram. It also preserved the
+layer-C design where tractor provisions the kernel-owned tunnel
+bearer without treating it as a message transport.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/discovery/_tunnel.py` - tunnel specs, address wrapper, and
+  peeling helpers.
+- `tractor/discovery/_addr.py` - wrapped-address recognition and
+  namespace typing.
+- `tractor/discovery/__init__.py` - public tunnel API exports.
+- `tests/discovery/test_tunnelled_addr.py` - delegation and boundary
+  regression coverage.
+- `ai/tpt-backends/03_wg_tunnel_bindspace.md` - distinguish
+  tractor-owned bindspace provisioning from kernel socket ownership.
+
+## Human edits
+
+Substantial human-directed editing occurred over several review turns:
+
+- required use of `multiaddr`'s `.encapsulate()`/`.decapsulate()`
+  family rather than a hand-rolled tunnel peeler
+- rejected the premature `start_listener()`/`close_listener()` hooks
+  and directed their removal from this foundational change
+- corrected the documentation so tractor retains ownership of future
+  bindspace provisioning while the kernel owns the bearer socket
+- reviewed and accepted the placement of declarative tunnel metadata
+  under `tractor.discovery`, with lifecycle code kept separate
+
+The final source lines were applied through the coding agents, but
+these design corrections and deletion decisions came from the human
+review and materially shaped the patch.

+
+Clarified that tractor owns the eventual bindspace lifecycle and may
+provision the WireGuard iface, routes, and kernel UDP listener through
+netlink/`pyroute2`. Kernel socket ownership does not make the bearer an
+application `MsgTransport` endpoint.
+
+## Verification

+
+Discovery and IPC suites:
+
+```text
+67 passed, 2 xpassed
+```
+
+The audit removed premature module-level listener hooks. Runtime
+integration must peel the wrapper explicitly at bind and dial
+boundaries rather than make `._tunnel` impersonate a transport
+backend.

+## Prompt
+
+The human requested the complete tunnelled-maddr parsing/composition
+slice as an unattended batch, with every numbered requirement finished
+and atomic commit plans prepared at the end. Existing human decisions
+required native `multiaddr` encapsulation APIs, no hand-written peeler,
+and preservation of tractor's future bindspace lifecycle ownership.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Implemented strict WG key codecs and native single/nested tunnel maddr
+parsing and composition, integrated them into discovery APIs, migrated
+the multihost example off its duplicate parser, corrected package
+dependency metadata, and added focused and end-to-end parser
+regressions. Verified the complete tractor suite and built both package
+artifacts.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/discovery/` - WG codecs, parser/composer, wrapper typing,
+  public exports, and discovery dispatch.
+- `tests/discovery/` - key, grammar, nesting, round-trip, and public
+  boundary regressions.

+  updated usage documentation.
+- `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock` - reproducible WG codec and multibase
+  dependencies for checkout and package installs.
+- `ai/tpt-backends/03_wg_tunnel_bindspace.md` - current layer-A state
+  and future bindspace ownership.
+
+## Human edits
+
+The human selected the five-step scope and batch execution model,
+required delegation to `multiaddr`'s encapsulation APIs, rejected
+transport-shaped listener placeholders in the prerequisite commit, and
+clarified that tractor will eventually provision the kernel-owned
+bearer through its bindspace layer. The agent implemented and tested
+those decisions; no direct manual source edits were observed during
+this batch.

+# Raw output - native WireGuard maddr integration
+
+The human requested completion of the five-step tunnelled-maddr slice:
+port the proven WireGuard parser, delegate to `py-multiaddr`'s native
+tunnel APIs, integrate public parse and composition entry points, add
+regressions, and return atomic commit plans after completing the batch.
+
+## Generated code
+
+> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- tractor/discovery/_tunnel.py tractor/discovery/_multiaddr.py tractor/discovery/_addr.py tractor/discovery/__init__.py`
+
+Added strict WireGuard standard-base64/multibase key codecs and native
+WG maddr parsing/composition. Nested stacks peel the last `/wg/`
+repeatedly with `.decapsulate_code()`, isolate segments through
+`.split()`/`.join()`, and compose recursively with `.encapsulate()`.
+Public discovery parsing, wrapping, endpoint-table parsing, and maddr
+composition now preserve `TunnelledAddress` metadata locally.
+
+> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- pyproject.toml uv.lock`
+
+Declared `py-multibase` directly and pinned the unreleased
+py-multiaddr#108 WG codec revision in distribution metadata. Enabled
+Hatch direct-reference metadata so editable, wheel, and sdist builds
+use the same dependency contract.
+
+> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- tests/discovery/test_multiaddr.py tests/discovery/test_tunnelled_addr.py`
+
+Added key-codec, single/nested WG round-trip, malformed key, invalid
+bearer/overlay, missing codec, missing bearer, `wrap_address()`, and
+`parse_endpoints()` coverage while retaining plain TCP/UDS regressions.
+
+> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- examples/multihost/wg_lan ai/tpt-backends/03_wg_tunnel_bindspace.md`
+
+Removed the duplicate example parser, migrated callers to production
+`TunnelledAddress`, retained only explicit `wg(8)` verification, and
+updated dependency and future bindspace ownership documentation.
+
+## Verification
+
+- focused discovery files: `45 passed`
+- discovery and IPC suites: `81 passed, 2 xpassed`
+- full suite: `443 passed, 9 skipped, 7 xfailed, 4 xpassed`
+- collection: `462 tests`
+- Ruff: clean
+- sdist and wheel builds: successful
+
+## Review corrections
+
+A review caught that `[tool.uv.sources]` alone would not constrain
+built-package consumers to a WG-capable py-multiaddr revision. The
+dependency was moved into PEP 621 metadata and the parser now converts
+missing-codec failures into an actionable tractor error without
+misclassifying Unix paths containing a `wg` directory.

+allowing a second RPC msg to corrupt the stream. Keep the transport
+fix separate from the higher-level `to_actor` remediation and explain
+the length-prefixed protocol rather than using unexplained "framed
+send" terminology.

+## Human edits
+
+The human selected the stack order and final PR #481 base, asked the
+agent to continue after each diagnostic step and required a complete
+commit plan after independently force-pushing the rebased history.
+After reviewing the migration, the human required every formerly named
+target input to remain visibly named through `functools.partial()`
+rather than becoming positional. These were human-directed agent edits;
+the human also required plain `start_actor()` and `open_context()`
+references in the spawning and RPC guides to link to their API methods
+and the detailed context guide, then clarified that `to_actor.run()`
+already uses the full context API while `Portal.run()` should share
+linked lifecycle machinery without necessarily delegating through
+`Portal.open_context()` or adding a `Started` message. The human made
+no direct source-line edits.

+# Raw output - bindspace capability design
+
+The human corrected the layer-C design around local network-stack
+realization. They established that bindspace state should be both
+structured and a scoped capability; namespace entry belongs in
+subactor bootstrap; maddrs can describe source or destination network
+paths while namespace selection augments them orthogonally; random
+address and teardown behavior depend on operation role and ownership.
+
+They directed comparison with the prototype on `github/ns_aware` and
+requested these decisions be preserved in the plan.
+
+> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- ai/tpt-backends/03_wg_tunnel_bindspace.md ai/tpt-backends/00_shared_backend_contract.md`
+
+Reworked layer C around serializable `BindspaceSpec`, stable
+`BindspaceIdentity`, and scoped non-serializable `BindspaceHandle`
+concepts. Namespace FDs pin identity and lifetime; parent/supervisor
+provisioning transfers entry capability through spawn; the child enters
+before runtime, channels, listeners, sockets, or worker threads and then
+drops authority. Listen/dial roles and owned/borrowed teardown are
+explicit, while maddrs remain role-neutral network-path declarations.
+
+The shared backend contract now separates transport-level `.bindspace`
+selectors from process namespace lifecycle. Added tests/risks for FD
+identity, bootstrap ordering, privilege drop, role ownership, and
+shared-resource teardown.

+## Prompt
+
+The human asked the agent to continue after adding tagged readers,
+complete canonical address emission without dropping legacy input
+compatibility, verify the migration, and prepare a complete multi-commit
+package when the turn was done.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Changed `.unwrap()` to emit tagged TCP and Unix addresses, updated direct
+tuple consumers and spawn payload declarations, and aligned multiaddr,
+runtime, IPC, and discovery tests with canonical serialized equality.
+Kept untagged tuples and the `uds` spelling readable at input boundaries.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/discovery/_addr.py` - canonical output alias.
+- `tractor/discovery/_multiaddr.py` - tagged address composition.
+- `tractor/ipc/_tcp.py` - tagged emission and direct socket dialing.
+- `tractor/ipc/_uds.py` - tagged full-path emission.

+Simplify bounded actor cancellation by passing an explicit absolute
+deadline from `Portal.cancel_actor()` through `_run_from_ns()`,
+`Actor.start_remote_task()`, and `Channel.send()` into
+`MsgpackTransport.send()`. Avoid a `ContextVar`, watcher tasks, shared
+status, coalescing, and waiter state. After tracing the current
+`Start -> StartAck -> CancelAck` transaction, rename the local result to
+`cancel_ack_received`, document its exact semantics, and link a focused
+follow-up for a dedicated `Cancel -> CancelAck` protocol.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Threaded one absolute Trio deadline through the existing private
+actor-cancel RPC path. The transport retains complete-frame shielding
+for ordinary sends, while a cancel-control send that overruns its
+deadline force-closes the potentially corrupted stream before releasing
+the send lock. The outer actor-cancel scope uses the same deadline for
+ack waiting and redelivers pending caller cancellation afterward.
+
+Renamed the completion flag to `cancel_ack_received` and documented that
+the current private call consumes `StartAck`, then receives a real
+`CancelAck` after `Actor.cancel()` completes; this does not establish
+that the OS process exited. Added a source TODO linking issue #506 for
+the future first-class `Cancel -> CancelAck` transaction.
+
+Focused transport and actor-cancel verification passed all four tests.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/runtime/_portal.py` - own the absolute deadline, accurately
+  record ack receipt, and link the dedicated cancellation protocol.
+- `tractor/runtime/_runtime.py` - forward the optional deadline for the
+  exact private `Start` publication.
+- `tractor/ipc/_chan.py` - pass the operation-specific deadline to the
+  transport without changing ordinary sends.
+- `tractor/ipc/_transport.py` - bound the shielded frame publication and

+
+## Human edits
+
+The human rejected the initial watcher-task, shared `_SendStatus`, cancel
+coalescing, and per-waiter design as unnecessary complexity. They also
+rejected `ContextVar` propagation in favor of explicit functional
+threading, selected a single absolute deadline for publication and ack
+waiting, and required item 2 to remain separate from the item-3 child

+## Prompt
+
+The human asked to proceed with WireGuard Layer B from PR #505's
+head, using the established one-change-per-turn workflow and
+finishing with a commit plan. This turn was limited to read-only
+pyroute2 inspection; peer verification and bindspace provisioning
+remain later changes.
+
+During review, the human required the generated Python to follow the
+deployed `/py-codestyle` rules and asked for the medium-term plan to
+remove pyroute2's asyncio I/O runtime from the Trio read path.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Added Linux-only read helpers for WireGuard device and peer public
+keys. Pyroute2's synchronous API is fully contained in a Trio worker
+thread, supports named netns reads without creation side effects,
+validates decoded keys and always closes the netlink client.
+Follow-up edits added the required local annotations, boolean layout,
+helper docstrings and 69-column source formatting.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `pyproject.toml` - Linux-only `wg` optional dependency.
+- `uv.lock` - resolved pyroute2 0.9.6 metadata.
+- `tractor/discovery/_tunnel.py` - read-only WireGuard helpers.
+- `tractor/discovery/__init__.py` - public helper exports.
+- `tests/discovery/test_wg_inspection.py` - fake-backed netlink and
+  worker-thread regressions.
+
+## Human edits
+
+The human chose the exact #505 head as a stacked base, required
+incremental changes ending in commit plans, and limited this turn to
+read-only pyroute2 inspection. The human then identified that Ruff
+success had not established `/py-codestyle` compliance and directed

+# Raw output - read WireGuard state through pyroute2
+
+The human authorized the first incremental WireGuard Layer B change
+as a stacked branch from tractor PR #505, with one atomic change and
+a commit plan at the end of the turn.
+
+> `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD -- pyproject.toml uv.lock tractor/discovery/__init__.py tractor/discovery/_tunnel.py tests/discovery/test_wg_inspection.py`
+
+Added a Linux-only `wg` extra using pyroute2 0.9.6, plus
+asynchronous public helpers for reading one interface's public key
+and peer keys. The complete synchronous open/read/parse/close
+sequence runs in a Trio worker thread because pyroute2 owns a private
+asyncio loop internally.
+
+Named namespace reads pass `flags=0` to override pyroute2's `O_CREAT`
+default, ensuring inspection cannot create a missing namespace. Fake
+netlink messages cover multipart dumps, key validation, stable peer
+deduplication, worker-thread execution, netns selection and cleanup
+on success/error.
+
+Ruff and lock checks passed. Focused tunnel/multiaddr coverage passed
+47 tests; the complete discovery suite passed 88 tests with 2
+xpasses.

+## Prompt
+
+After committing the read-only pyroute2 helpers and `wgman` design
+update, the human authorized the next isolated Layer B change:
+explicit `verify_wg_peer()` composition over WireGuard inspection.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Added and exported async `verify_wg_peer()` using one validated
+WireGuard key snapshot. It recognizes local-interface and configured
+peer identities without coupling kernel inspection to address
+parsing. Updated the multihost examples to use the production helper
+and removed their subprocess-based probe.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/discovery/_tunnel.py` - shared async snapshot reader and
+  explicit verification helper.
+- `tractor/discovery/__init__.py` - public verification export.
+- `tests/discovery/test_wg_inspection.py` - local, peer, absent and
+  malformed-key verification coverage.

+architecture changes. The agent implemented the source changes; no

+Added async `verify_wg_peer()` over one WireGuard key snapshot. It
+validates the declared `WGTunnelSpec.peer_pubkey` before I/O, forwards
+the spec's iface/netns, and accepts either the local interface key for
+a source/listen declaration or a configured peer key for a

+## Prompt
+
+After committing endpoint namespace visibility, the human authorized
+continued Layer C implementation.
+
+During staged review, the human requested Literal-derived validation,
+ownership documentation, stable-inode clarification, explicit
+non-serialization rationale and consolidated invalid-model tests.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Added the foundational bindspace model: serializable declarations and
+stable identities are separated from a process-local live capability.
+The handle validates names, ownership and FD identity. A global
+`ProcessLocal` sentinel blocks default encoding while retaining
+msgspec struct behavior.
+Review fixes require a positive inode for every realized netns,
+derive runtime choices from the Literal aliases and clarify that an FD
+integer is not transferable capability authority.
+The human then clarified that msgspec structs are useful generic
+storage independently of serialization policy, so the live handle now
+uses a struct while remaining process-local by contract.
+The human first selected an opaque FD wrapper, then recognized that
+future process-local handles need the same guard and directed a global
+marker under `tractor.msg` instead.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/discovery/_bindspace.py` - declaration, identity and live
+  capability models.
+- `tractor/discovery/__init__.py` - public bindspace exports.
+- `tractor/msg/_local.py` - reusable process-local struct marker.
+- `tractor/msg/__init__.py` - public `ProcessLocal` export.
+- `tests/discovery/test_bindspace.py` - serialization and capability
+  invariant coverage.
+- `tests/msg/test_process_local.py` - direct and nested wire rejection.
+- `ai/tpt-backends/03_wg_tunnel_bindspace.md` - concrete initial model
+  contract.
+
+## Human edits
+
+The human selected the foundational Layer C capability model, then
+reviewed the staged patch and directed all eight follow-up changes:
+remove distracting ownership variation, consolidate invalid-model
+tests, derive containment checks from Literal aliases, require a
+stable inode and explain why the live handle is not a msgspec struct.
+The human subsequently corrected that last design choice: struct use
+does not imply IPC authorization, so `BindspaceHandle` should retain
+msgspec's generic storage benefits. The agent applied those
+human-directed edits. The human first chose an opaque process-local FD
+wrapper, then refined that decision to a reusable global marker under
+`tractor.msg` for future local handles. No direct manual source edits
+were observed.

+## Prompt
+
+After committing the foundational bindspace capability model, the
+human authorized the next incremental Layer C change.
+
+## Response summary
+
+Added a borrow-only existing-netns context manager which pins stable
+identity through an open FD and always releases that local descriptor.
+The API does not create, enter or remove namespaces and rejects named
+path traversal.
+Staged review renamed the context to `attach_netns()`, introduced the
+readable `CURRENT_NETNS` alias and made key validation errors identify
+their exact owning field.
+Follow-up review made the empty-key error spell out that `None` is
+written as `CURRENT_NETNS` for `BindspaceSpec.key` declarations.
+
+## Files changed
+
+- `tractor/discovery/_bindspace.py` - existing-netns lifecycle and key
+  validation.

+
+## Human edits
+
+The human selected the previously deferred borrow-only netns lifecycle
+as the next incremental Layer C change. The agent implemented the
+source changes. During staged review, the human selected
+`attach_netns()` terminology, requested explicit
+`BindspaceSpec.key = CURRENT_NETNS` semantics and field-specific key
+validation. Follow-up review requested the validation error itself
+connect `None` to `CURRENT_NETNS`. The agent applied those
+human-directed edits; no direct manual source edits were observed.

+
+Added async `open_existing_netns()` as a borrow-only context manager.
+It opens the current process netns or a named entry under the standard
+iproute2 run directory, derives stable identity from the opened FD,
+and yields a borrowed process-local `BindspaceHandle`.
+
+The context uses `O_CLOEXEC`, never creates, enters or removes a

+reject paths to keep named lookup beneath the run directory.

+Added serialized `BindspaceSpec.lifecycle` policy with explicit
+`attach` and `open` choices. Added `open_bindspace()` dispatch without
+inferring resource ownership from listen/dial role.
+
+Refactored FD attachment into policy-neutral `_pin_netns()` so

+also verifies lifecycle and resulting ownership agree.
+
+One composition error introduced during implementation was caught by
