-  Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
-with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
-you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
-and/or modify the software.
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
 
-  A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
-improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
-receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
-incorporate.  Many developers of free software are heartened and
-encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However, in the case of
-software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
-The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
-letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
-source code to the public.
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
 
-  The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
-ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
-to the community.  It requires the operator of a network server to
-provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
-users of that server.  Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
-a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
-code of the modified version.
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
 
-  An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
-published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is
-a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
-released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
-this license.
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

-
-tractor 0.1.0a5 (2022-08-03)
-============================
-
-This is our final release supporting Python 3.9 since we will be moving
-internals to the new `match:` syntax from 3.10 going forward and
-further, we have officially dropped usage of the `msgpack` library and
-happily adopted `msgspec`.
-
-Features
---------
-
-- `#165 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/165>`_: Add SIGINT
-  protection to our `pdbpp` based debugger subystem such that for
-  (single-depth) actor trees in debug mode we ignore interrupts in any
-  actor currently holding the TTY lock thus avoiding clobbering IPC
-  connections and/or task and process state when working in the REPL.
-
-  As a big note currently so called "nested" actor trees (trees with
-  actors having more then one parent/ancestor) are not fully supported
-  since we don't yet have a mechanism to relay the debug mode knowledge
-  "up" the actor tree (for eg. when handling a crash in a leaf actor).
-  As such currently there is a set of tests and known scenarios which will
-  result in process cloberring by the zombie repaing machinery and these
-  have been documented in https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/320.
-
-  The implementation details include:
-
-  - utilizing a custom SIGINT handler which we apply whenever an actor's
-    runtime enters the debug machinery, which we also make sure the
-    stdlib's `pdb` configuration doesn't override (which it does by
-    default without special instance config).
-  - litter the runtime with `maybe_wait_for_debugger()` mostly in spots
-    where the root actor should block before doing embedded nursery
-    teardown ops which both cancel potential-children-in-deubg as well
-    as eventually trigger zombie reaping machinery.
-  - hardening of the TTY locking semantics/API both in terms of IPC
-    terminations and cancellation and lock release determinism from
-    sync debugger instance methods.
-  - factoring of locking infrastructure into a new `._debug.Lock` global
-    which encapsulates all details of the ``trio`` sync primitives and
-    task/actor uid management and tracking.
-
-  We also add `ctrl-c` cases throughout the test suite though these are
-  disabled for py3.9 (`pdbpp` UX differences that don't seem worth
-  compensating for, especially since this will be our last 3.9 supported
-  release) and there are a slew of marked cases that aren't expected to
-  work in CI more generally (as mentioned in the "nested" tree note
-  above) despite seemingly working  when run manually on linux.
-
-- `#304 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/304>`_: Add a new
-  ``to_asyncio.LinkedTaskChannel.subscribe()`` which gives task-oriented
-  broadcast functionality semantically equivalent to
-  ``tractor.MsgStream.subscribe()`` this makes it possible for multiple
-  ``trio``-side tasks to consume ``asyncio``-side task msgs in tandem.
-
-  Further Improvements to the test suite were added in this patch set
-  including a new scenario test for a sub-actor managed "service nursery"
-  (implementing the basics of a "service manager") including use of
-  *infected asyncio* mode. Further we added a lower level
-  ``test_trioisms.py`` to start to track issues we need to work around in
-  ``trio`` itself which in this case included a bug we were trying to
-  solve related to https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/2258.
-
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- `#318 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/318>`_: Fix
-  a previously undetected ``trio``-``asyncio`` task lifetime linking
-  issue with the ``to_asyncio.open_channel_from()`` api where both sides
-  where not properly waiting/signalling termination and it was possible
-  for ``asyncio``-side errors to not propagate due to a race condition.
-
-  The implementation fix summary is:
-  - add state to signal the end of the ``trio`` side task to be
-    read by the ``asyncio`` side and always cancel any ongoing
-    task in such cases.
-  - always wait on the ``asyncio`` task termination from the ``trio``
-    side on error before maybe raising said error.
-  - always close the ``trio`` mem chan on exit to ensure the other
-    side can detect it and follow.
-
-
-Trivial/Internal Changes
-------------------------
-
-- `#248 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/248>`_: Adjust the
-  `tractor._spawn.soft_wait()` strategy to avoid sending an actor cancel
-  request (via `Portal.cancel_actor()`) if either the child process is
-  detected as having terminated or the IPC channel is detected to be
-  closed.
-
-  This ensures (even) more deterministic inter-actor cancellation by
-  avoiding the timeout condition where possible when a whild never
-  sucessfully spawned, crashed, or became un-contactable over IPC.
-
-- `#295 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/295>`_: Add an
-  experimental ``tractor.msg.NamespacePath`` type for passing Python
-  objects by "reference" through a ``str``-subtype message and using the
-  new ``pkgutil.resolve_name()`` for reference loading.
-
-- `#298 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/298>`_: Add a new
-  `tractor.experimental` subpackage for staging new high level APIs and
-  subystems that we might eventually make built-ins.
-
-- `#300 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/300>`_: Update to and
-  pin latest ``msgpack`` (1.0.3) and ``msgspec`` (0.4.0) both of which
-  required adjustments for backwards imcompatible API tweaks.
-
-- `#303 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/303>`_: Fence off
-  ``multiprocessing`` imports until absolutely necessary in an effort to
-  avoid "resource tracker" spawning side effects that seem to have
-  varying degrees of unreliability per Python release. Port to new
-  ``msgspec.DecodeError``.
-
-- `#305 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/305>`_: Add
-  ``tractor.query_actor()`` an addr looker-upper which doesn't deliver
-  a ``Portal`` instance and instead just a socket address ``tuple``.
-
-  Sometimes it's handy to just have a simple way to figure out if
-  a "service" actor is up, so add this discovery helper for that. We'll
-  prolly just leave it undocumented for now until we figure out
-  a longer-term/better discovery system.
-
-- `#316 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/316>`_: Run windows
-  CI jobs on python 3.10 after some hacks for ``pdbpp`` dependency
-  issues.
-
-  Issue was to do with the now deprecated `pyreadline` project which
-  should be changed over to `pyreadline3`.
-
-- `#317 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/317>`_: Drop use of
-  the ``msgpack`` package and instead move fully to the ``msgspec``
-  codec library.
-
-  We've now used ``msgspec`` extensively in production and there's no
-  reason to not use it as default. Further this change preps us for the up
-  and coming typed messaging semantics (#196), dialog-unprotocol system
-  (#297), and caps-based messaging-protocols (#299) planned before our
-  first beta.

-tractor 0.1.0a4 (2021-12-18)
-============================
-
-Features
---------
-- `#275 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/275>`_: Re-license
-  code base under AGPLv3. Also see `#274
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/274>`_ for majority
-  contributor consensus on this decision.
-
-- `#121 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/121>`_: Add
-  "infected ``asyncio`` mode; a sub-system to spawn and control
-  ``asyncio`` actors using ``trio``'s guest-mode.
-
-  This gets us the following very interesting functionality:
-
-  - ability to spawn an actor that has a process entry point of
-    ``asyncio.run()`` by passing ``infect_asyncio=True`` to
-    ``Portal.start_actor()`` (and friends).
-  - the ``asyncio`` actor embeds ``trio`` using guest-mode and starts
-    a main ``trio`` task which runs the ``tractor.Actor._async_main()``
-    entry point engages all the normal ``tractor`` runtime IPC/messaging
-    machinery; for all purposes the actor is now running normally on
-    a ``trio.run()``.
-  - the actor can now make one-to-one task spawning requests to the
-    underlying ``asyncio`` event loop using either of:
-
-    * ``to_asyncio.run_task()`` to spawn and run an ``asyncio`` task to
-      completion and block until a return value is delivered.
-    * ``async with to_asyncio.open_channel_from():`` which spawns a task
-      and hands it a pair of "memory channels" to allow for bi-directional
-      streaming between the now SC-linked ``trio`` and ``asyncio`` tasks.
-
-  The output from any call(s) to ``asyncio`` can be handled as normal in
-  ``trio``/``tractor`` task operation with the caveat of the overhead due
-  to guest-mode use.
-
-  For more details see the `original PR
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/121>`_ and `issue
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/120>`_.
-
-- `#257 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/257>`_: Add
-  ``trionics.maybe_open_context()`` an actor-scoped async multi-task
-  context manager resource caching API.
-
-  Adds an SC-safe cacheing async context manager api that only enters on
-  the *first* task entry and only exits on the *last* task exit while in
-  between delivering the same cached value per input key. Keys can be
-  either an explicit ``key`` named arg provided by the user or a
-  hashable ``kwargs`` dict (will be converted to a ``list[tuple]``) which
-  is passed to the underlying manager function as input.
-
-- `#261 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/261>`_: Add
-  cross-actor-task ``Context`` oriented error relay, a new stream
-  overrun error-signal ``StreamOverrun``, and support disabling
-  ``MsgStream`` backpressure as the default before a stream is opened or
-  by choice of the user.
-
-  We added stricter semantics around ``tractor.Context.open_stream():``
-  particularly to do with streams which are only opened at one end.
-  Previously, if only one end opened a stream there was no way for that
-  sender to know if msgs are being received until first, the feeder mem
-  chan on the receiver side hit a backpressure state and then that
-  condition delayed its msg loop processing task to eventually create
-  backpressure on the associated IPC transport. This is non-ideal in the
-  case where the receiver side never opened a stream by mistake since it
-  results in silent block of the sender and no adherence to the underlying
-  mem chan buffer size settings (which is still unsolved btw).
-
-  To solve this we add non-backpressure style message pushing inside
-  ``Actor._push_result()`` by default and only use the backpressure
-  ``trio.MemorySendChannel.send()`` call **iff** the local end of the
-  context has entered ``Context.open_stream():``. This way if the stream
-  was never opened but the mem chan is overrun, we relay back to the
-  sender a (new exception) ``SteamOverrun`` error which is raised in the
-  sender's scope with a special error message about the stream never
-  having been opened. Further, this behaviour (non-backpressure style
-  where senders can expect an error on overruns) can now be enabled with
-  ``.open_stream(backpressure=False)`` and the underlying mem chan size
-  can be specified with a kwarg ``msg_buffer_size: int``.
-
-  Further bug fixes and enhancements in this changeset include:
-
-  - fix a race we were ignoring where if the callee task opened a context
-    it could enter ``Context.open_stream()`` before calling
-    ``.started()``.
-  - Disallow calling ``Context.started()`` more then once.
-  - Enable ``Context`` linked tasks error relaying via the new
-    ``Context._maybe_raise_from_remote_msg()`` which (for now) uses
-    a simple ``trio.Nursery.start_soon()`` to raise the error via closure
-    in the local scope.
-
-- `#267 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/267>`_: This
-  (finally) adds fully acknowledged remote cancellation messaging
-  support for both explicit ``Portal.cancel_actor()`` calls as well as
-  when there is a "runtime-wide" cancellations (eg. during KBI or
-  general actor nursery exception handling which causes a full actor
-  "crash"/termination).
-
-  You can think of this as the most ideal case in 2-generals where the
-  actor requesting the cancel of its child is able to always receive back
-  the ACK to that request. This leads to a more deterministic shutdown of
-  the child where the parent is able to wait for the child to fully
-  respond to the request. On a localhost setup, where the parent can
-  monitor the state of the child through process or other OS APIs instead
-  of solely through IPC messaging, the parent can know whether or not the
-  child decided to cancel with more certainty. In the case of separate
-  hosts, we still rely on a simple timeout approach until such a time
-  where we prefer to get "fancier".
-
-- `#271 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/271>`_: Add a per
-  actor ``debug_mode: bool`` control to our nursery.
-
-  This allows spawning actors via ``ActorNursery.start_actor()`` (and
-  other dependent methods) with a ``debug_mode=True`` flag much like
-  ``tractor.open_nursery():`` such that per process crash handling
-  can be toggled for cases where a user does not need/want all child actors
-  to drop into the debugger on error. This is often useful when you have
-  actor-tasks which are expected to error often (and be re-run) but want
-  to specifically interact with some (problematic) child.
-
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- `#239 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/239>`_: Fix
-  keyboard interrupt handling in ``Portal.open_context()`` blocks.
-
-  Previously this was not triggering cancellation of the remote task
-  context and could result in hangs if a stream was also opened. This
-  fix is to accept `BaseException` since it is likely any other top
-  level exception other then KBI (even though not expected) should also
-  get this result.
-
-- `#264 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/264>`_: Fix
-  ``Portal.run_in_actor()`` returns ``None`` result.
-
-  ``None`` was being used as the cached result flag and obviously breaks
-  on a ``None`` returned from the remote target task. This would cause an
-  infinite hang if user code ever called ``Portal.result()`` *before* the
-  nursery exit. The simple fix is to use the *return message* as the
-  initial "no-result-received-yet" flag value and, once received, the
-  return value is read from the message to avoid the cache logic error.
-
-- `#266 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/266>`_: Fix
-  graceful cancellation of daemon actors
-
-  Previously, his was a bug where if the soft wait on a sub-process (the
-  ``await .proc.wait()``) in the reaper task teardown was cancelled we
-  would fail over to the hard reaping sequence (meant for culling off any
-  potential zombies via system kill signals). The hard reap has a timeout
-  of 3s (currently though in theory we could make it shorter?) before
-  system signalling kicks in. This means that any daemon actor still
-  running during nursery exit would get hard reaped (3s later) instead of
-  cancelled via IPC message. Now we catch the ``trio.Cancelled``, call
-  ``Portal.cancel_actor()`` on the daemon and expect the child to
-  self-terminate after the runtime cancels and shuts down the process.
-
-- `#278 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/278>`_: Repair
-  inter-actor stream closure semantics to work correctly with
-  ``tractor.trionics.BroadcastReceiver`` task fan out usage.
-
-  A set of previously unknown bugs discovered in `#257
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/257>`_ let graceful stream
-  closure result in hanging consumer tasks that use the broadcast APIs.
-  This adds better internal closure state tracking to the broadcast
-  receiver and message stream APIs and in particular ensures that when an
-  underlying stream/receive-channel (a broadcast receiver is receiving
-  from) is closed, all consumer tasks waiting on that underlying channel
-  are woken so they can receive the ``trio.EndOfChannel`` signal and
-  promptly terminate.

-
-tractor 0.1.0a3 (2021-11-02)
-============================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Switch to using the ``trio`` process spawner by default on windows. (#166)
-
-  This gets windows users debugger support (manually tested) and in
-  general a more resilient (nested) actor tree implementation.
-
-- Add optional `msgspec <https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/>`_ support
-  as an alernative, faster MessagePack codec. (#214)
-
-  Provides us with a path toward supporting typed IPC message contracts. Further,
-  ``msgspec`` structs may be a valid tool to start for formalizing our
-  "SC dialog un-protocol" messages as described in `#36
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/36>`_.
-
-- Introduce a new ``tractor.trionics`` `sub-package`_ that exposes
-  a selection of our relevant high(er) level trio primitives and
-  goodies. (#241)
-
-  At outset we offer a ``gather_contexts()`` context manager for
-  concurrently entering a sequence of async context managers (much like
-  a version of ``asyncio.gather()`` but for context managers) and use it
-  in a new ``tractor.open_actor_cluster()`` manager-helper that can be
-  entered to concurrently spawn a flat actor pool. We also now publicly
-  expose our "broadcast channel" APIs (``open_broadcast_receiver()``)
-  from here.
-
-.. _sub-package: ../tractor/trionics
-
-- Change the core message loop to handle task and actor-runtime cancel
-  requests immediately instead of scheduling them as is done for rpc-task
-  requests. (#245)
-
-  In order to obtain more reliable teardown mechanics for (complex) actor
-  trees it's important that we specially treat cancel requests as having
-  higher priority. Previously, it was possible that task cancel requests
-  could actually also themselves be cancelled if a "actor-runtime" cancel
-  request was received (can happen during messy multi actor crashes that
-  propagate). Instead cancels now block the msg loop until serviced and
-  a response is relayed back to the requester. This also allows for
-  improved debugger support since we have determinism guarantees about
-  which processes must wait before hard killing their children.
-
-- (`#248 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/248>`_) Drop Python
-  3.8 support in favour of rolling with two latest releases for the time
-  being.
-
-
-Misc
-----
-
-- (`#243 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/243>`_) add a distinct
-  ``'CANCEL'`` log level to allow the runtime to emit details about
-  cancellation machinery statuses.
-
-
-tractor 0.1.0a2 (2021-09-07)
-============================
-
-Features
---------
-
-- Add `tokio-style broadcast channels
-  <https://docs.rs/tokio/1.11.0/tokio/sync/broadcast/index.html>`_ as
-  a solution for `#204 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/204>`_ and
-  discussed thoroughly in `trio/#987
-  <https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/987>`_.
-
-  This gives us local task broadcast functionality using a new
-  ``BroadcastReceiver`` type which can wrap ``trio.ReceiveChannel``  and
-  provide fan-out copies of a stream of data to every subscribed consumer.
-  We use this new machinery to provide a ``ReceiveMsgStream.subscribe()``
-  async context manager which can be used by actor-local concumers tasks
-  to easily pull from a shared and dynamic IPC stream. (`#229
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/229>`_)
-
-
-Bugfixes
---------
-
-- Handle broken channel/stream faults where the root's tty lock is left
-  acquired by some child actor who went MIA and the root ends up hanging
-  indefinitely. (`#234 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/234>`_)
-
-  There's two parts here: we no longer shield wait on the lock and,
-  now always do our best to release the lock on the expected worst
-  case connection faults.
-
-
-Deprecations and Removals
--------------------------
-
-- Drop stream "shielding" support which was originally added to sidestep
-  a cancelled call to ``.receive()``
-
-  In the original api design a stream instance was returned directly from
-  a call to ``Portal.run()`` and thus there was no "exit phase" to handle
-  cancellations and errors which would trigger implicit closure. Now that
-  we have said enter/exit semantics with ``Portal.open_stream_from()`` and
-  ``Context.open_stream()`` we can drop this implicit (and arguably
-  confusing) behavior. (`#230 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/230>`_)
-
-- Drop Python 3.7 support in preparation for supporting 3.9+ syntax.
-  (`#232 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/232>`_)
-
-
-tractor 0.1.0a1 (2021-08-01)
-============================
-
-Features
---------
-- Updated our uni-directional streaming API (`#206
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/206>`_) to require a context
-  manager style ``async with Portal.open_stream_from(target) as stream:``
-  which explicitly determines when to stop a stream in the calling (aka
-  portal opening) actor much like ``async_generator.aclosing()``
-  enforcement.
-
-- Improved the ``multiprocessing`` backend sub-actor reaping (`#208
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/208>`_) during actor nursery
-  exit, particularly during cancellation scenarios that previously might
-  result in hard to debug hangs.
-
-- Added initial bi-directional streaming support in `#219
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/219>`_ with follow up debugger
-  improvements via `#220 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/220>`_
-  using the new ``tractor.Context`` cross-actor task syncing system.
-  The debugger upgrades add an edge triggered last-in-tty-lock semaphore
-  which allows the root process for a tree to avoid clobbering children
-  who have queued to acquire the ``pdb`` repl by waiting to cancel
-  sub-actors until the lock is known to be released **and** has no
-  pending waiters.
-
-
-Experiments and WIPs
---------------------
-- Initial optional ``msgspec`` serialization support in `#214
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/214>`_ which should hopefully
-  land by next release.
-
-- Improved "infect ``asyncio``" cross-loop task cancellation and error
-  propagation by vastly simplifying the cross-loop-task streaming approach. 
-  We may end up just going with a use of ``anyio`` in the medium term to
-  avoid re-doing work done by their cross-event-loop portals.  See the
-  ``infect_asyncio`` for details.
-
-
-Improved Documentation
-----------------------
-- `Updated our readme <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/211>`_ to
-  include more (and better) `examples
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor#run-a-func-in-a-process>`_ (with
-  matching multi-terminal process monitoring shell commands) as well as
-  added many more examples to the `repo set
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/tree/master/examples>`_.
-
-- Added a readme `"actors under the hood" section
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor#under-the-hood>`_ in an effort to
-  guard against suggestions for changing the API away from ``trio``'s
-  *tasks-as-functions* style.
-
-- Moved to using the `sphinx book theme
-  <https://sphinx-book-theme.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html>`_
-  though it needs some heavy tweaking and doesn't seem to show our logo
-  on rtd :(
-
-
-Trivial/Internal Changes
-------------------------
-- Added a new ``TransportClosed`` internal exception/signal (`#215
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/215>`_ for catching TCP
-  channel gentle closes instead of silently falling through the message
-  handler loop via an async generator ``return``.
-
-
-Deprecations and Removals
--------------------------
-- Dropped support for invoking sync functions (`#205
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/205>`_) in other
-  actors/processes since you can always wrap a sync function from an
-  async one.  Users can instead consider using ``trio-parallel`` which
-  is a project specifically geared for purely synchronous calls in
-  sub-processes.
-
-- Deprecated our ``tractor.run()`` entrypoint `#197
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/197>`_; the runtime is now
-  either started implicitly in first actor nursery use or via an
-  explicit call to ``tractor.open_root_actor()``. Full removal of
-  ``tractor.run()`` will come by beta release.
-
-
-tractor 0.1.0a0 (2021-02-28)
-============================
-
-..
-    TODO: fill out more of the details of the initial feature set in some TLDR form
-
-Summary
--------
-- ``trio`` based process spawner (using ``subprocess``)
-- initial multi-process debugging with ``pdb++``
-- windows support using both ``trio`` and ``multiprocessing`` spawners
-- "portal" api for cross-process, structured concurrent, (streaming) IPC

-

-|docs|
-
-``tractor`` is a `structured concurrent`_, multi-processing_ runtime
-built on trio_.
-
-Fundamentally, ``tractor`` gives you parallelism via
-``trio``-"*actors*": independent Python processes (aka
-non-shared-memory threads) which maintain structured
-concurrency (SC) *end-to-end* inside a *supervision tree*.
-
-Cross-process (and thus cross-host) SC is accomplished through the
-combined use of our "actor nurseries_" and an "SC-transitive IPC
-protocol" constructed on top of multiple Pythons each running a ``trio``
-scheduled runtime - a call to ``trio.run()``.
-
-We believe the system adheres to the `3 axioms`_ of an "`actor model`_"
-but likely *does not* look like what *you* probably think an "actor
-model" looks like, and that's *intentional*.
-
-The first step to grok ``tractor`` is to get the basics of ``trio`` down.
-A great place to start is the `trio docs`_ and this `blog post`_.
-
-
-Features
---------
-- **It's just** a ``trio`` API
-- *Infinitely nesteable* process trees
-- Builtin IPC streaming APIs with task fan-out broadcasting
-- A "native" multi-core debugger REPL using `pdbp`_ (a fork & fix of
-  `pdb++`_ thanks to @mdmintz!)
-- Support for a swappable, OS specific, process spawning layer
-- A modular transport stack, allowing for custom serialization (eg. with
-  `msgspec`_), communications protocols, and environment specific IPC
-  primitives
-- Support for spawning process-level-SC, inter-loop one-to-one-task oriented
-  ``asyncio`` actors via "infected ``asyncio``" mode
-- `structured chadcurrency`_ from the ground up

-Worker poolz are easy peasy
----------------------------
-The initial ask from most new users is *"how do I make a worker
-pool thing?"*.
-
-``tractor`` is built to handle any SC (structured concurrent) process
-tree you can imagine; a "worker pool" pattern is a trivial special
-case.
-
-We have a `full worker pool re-implementation`_ of the std-lib's
-``concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor`` example for reference.
-
-You can run it like so (from this dir) to see the process tree in
-real time::
-
-    $TERM -e watch -n 0.1  "pstree -a $$" \
-        & python examples/parallelism/concurrent_actors_primes.py \
-        && kill $!
-
-This uses no extra threads, fancy semaphores or futures; all we need
-is ``tractor``'s IPC!
-
-"Infected ``asyncio``" mode
----------------------------
-Have a bunch of ``asyncio`` code you want to force to be SC at the process level?
-
-Check out our experimental system for `guest-mode`_ controlled
-``asyncio`` actors:
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    import asyncio
-    from statistics import mean
-    import time
-
-    import trio
-    import tractor
-
-
-    async def aio_echo_server(
-        to_trio: trio.MemorySendChannel,
-        from_trio: asyncio.Queue,
-    ) -> None:
-
-        # a first message must be sent **from** this ``asyncio``
-        # task or the ``trio`` side will never unblock from
-        # ``tractor.to_asyncio.open_channel_from():``
-        to_trio.send_nowait('start')
-
-        # XXX: this uses an ``from_trio: asyncio.Queue`` currently but we
-        # should probably offer something better.
-        while True:
-            # echo the msg back
-            to_trio.send_nowait(await from_trio.get())

-                    out = await chan.receive()
-                    # echo back to parent actor-task

-Higher level "cluster" APIs
----------------------------
-To be extra terse the ``tractor`` devs have started hacking some "higher
-level" APIs for managing actor trees/clusters. These interfaces should
-generally be condsidered provisional for now but we encourage you to try
-them and provide feedback. Here's a new API that let's you quickly
-spawn a flat cluster:
-
-.. code:: python
-
-    import trio
-    import tractor
-
-
-    async def sleepy_jane():
-        uid = tractor.current_actor().uid
-        print(f'Yo i am actor {uid}')
-        await trio.sleep_forever()
-
-
-    async def main():
-        '''
-        Spawn a flat actor cluster, with one process per
-        detected core.
-
-        '''
-        portal_map: dict[str, tractor.Portal]
-        results: dict[str, str]
-
-        # look at this hip new syntax!
-        async with (
-
-            tractor.open_actor_cluster(
-                modules=[__name__]
-            ) as portal_map,
-
-            trio.open_nursery() as n,
-        ):
-
-            for (name, portal) in portal_map.items():
-                n.start_soon(portal.run, sleepy_jane)
-
-            await trio.sleep(0.5)
-
-            # kill the cluster with a cancel
-            raise KeyboardInterrupt
-
-
-    if __name__ == '__main__':
-        try:
-            trio.run(main)

-
-Under the hood
---------------
-``tractor`` is an attempt to pair trionic_ `structured concurrency`_ with
-distributed Python. You can think of it as a ``trio``
-*-across-processes* or simply as an opinionated replacement for the
-stdlib's ``multiprocessing`` but built on async programming primitives
-from the ground up.
-
-Don't be scared off by this description. ``tractor`` **is just** ``trio``
-but with nurseries for process management and cancel-able streaming IPC.
-If you understand how to work with ``trio``, ``tractor`` will give you
-the parallelism you may have been needing.
-
-
-Wait, huh?! I thought "actors" have messages, and mailboxes and stuff?!
-***********************************************************************
-Let's stop and ask how many canon actor model papers have you actually read ;)
-
-From our experience many "actor systems" aren't really "actor models"
-since they **don't adhere** to the `3 axioms`_ and pay even less
-attention to the problem of *unbounded non-determinism* (which was the
-whole point for creation of the model in the first place).
-
-From the author's mouth, **the only thing required** is `adherance to`_
-the `3 axioms`_, *and that's it*.
-
-``tractor`` adheres to said base requirements of an "actor model"::
-
-    In response to a message, an actor may:
-
-    - send a finite number of new messages
-    - create a finite number of new actors
-    - designate a new behavior to process subsequent messages
-
-
-**and** requires *no further api changes* to accomplish this.
-
-If you want do debate this further please feel free to chime in on our
-chat or discuss on one of the following issues *after you've read
-everything in them*:
-
-- https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/210
-- https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/18
-
-
-Let's clarify our parlance
-**************************
-Whether or not ``tractor`` has "actors" underneath should be mostly
-irrelevant to users other then for referring to the interactions of our
-primary runtime primitives: each Python process + ``trio.run()``
-+ surrounding IPC machinery. These are our high level, base
-*runtime-units-of-abstraction* which both *are* (as much as they can
-be in Python) and will be referred to as our *"actors"*.
-
-The main goal of ``tractor`` is is to allow for highly distributed
-software that, through the adherence to *structured concurrency*,
-results in systems which fail in predictable, recoverable and maybe even
-understandable ways; being an "actor model" is just one way to describe
-properties of the system.
-
-
-What's on the TODO:
--------------------
-Help us push toward the future of distributed `Python`.

-- Erlang-style supervisors via composed context managers (see `#22
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/22>`_)
-- Typed messaging protocols (ex. via ``msgspec.Struct``, see `#36
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/36>`_)
-- Typed capability-based (dialog) protocols ( see `#196
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/issues/196>`_ with draft work
-  started in `#311 <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/311>`_)
-- We **recently disabled CI-testing on windows** and need help getting
-  it running again! (see `#327
-  <https://github.com/goodboy/tractor/pull/327>`_). **We do have windows
-  support** (and have for quite a while) but since no active hacker
-  exists in the user-base to help test on that OS, for now we're not
-  actively maintaining testing due to the added hassle and general
-  latency..
-
-
-Feel like saying hi?
---------------------
-This project is very much coupled to the ongoing development of
-``trio`` (i.e. ``tractor`` gets most of its ideas from that brilliant
-community). If you want to help, have suggestions or just want to
-say hi, please feel free to reach us in our `matrix channel`_.  If
-matrix seems too hip, we're also mostly all in the the `trio gitter
-channel`_!

-dev, testing, CI and release gotchas, reminders and best practises.
-
-``tractor`` is a fairly novel project compared to most since it is
-effectively a new way of doing distributed computing in Python and is
-much closer to working with an "application level runtime" (like erlang
-OTP or scala's akka project) then it is a traditional Python library.
-As such, having an arsenal of tools and recipes for figuring out the
-right way to debug problems when they do arise is somewhat of
-a necessity.
-
-
-Making a Release
-----------------
-We currently do nothing special here except the traditional
-PyPa release recipe as in `documented by twine`_. I personally
-create sub-dirs within the generated `dist/` with an explicit
-release name such as `alpha3/` when there's been a sequence of
-releases I've made, but it really is up to you how you like to
-organize generated sdists locally.
-
-The resulting build cmds are approximately:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-    python setup.py sdist -d ./dist/XXX.X/
-
-    twine upload -r testpypi dist/XXX.X/*
-
-    twine upload dist/XXX.X/*
-
-
-
-.. _documented by twine: https://twine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#using-twine
-
-
-Debugging and monitoring actor trees
-------------------------------------
-TODO: but there are tips in the readme for some terminal commands
-which can be used to see the process trees easily on Linux.
-
-
-Using the log system to trace `trio` task flow
-----------------------------------------------
-TODO: the logging system is meant to be oriented around
-stack "layers" of the runtime such that you can track
-"logical abstraction layers" in the code such as errors, cancellation,
-IPC and streaming, and the low level transport and wire protocols.

-``tractor`` is a `structured concurrent`_ "`actor model`_" built on trio_ and multi-processing_.
-
-It is an attempt to pair trionic_ `structured concurrency`_ with
-distributed Python. You can think of it as a ``trio``
-*-across-processes* or simply as an opinionated replacement for the
-stdlib's ``multiprocessing`` but built on async programming primitives
-from the ground up.
-
-Don't be scared off by this description. ``tractor`` **is just ``trio``**
-but with nurseries for process management and cancel-able IPC.
-If you understand how to work with ``trio``, ``tractor`` will give you
-the parallelism you've been missing.
-
-``tractor``'s nurseries let you spawn ``trio`` *"actors"*: new Python
-processes which each run a ``trio`` scheduled task tree (also known as
-an `async sandwich`_ - a call to ``trio.run()``). That is, each
-"*Actor*" is a new process plus a ``trio`` runtime.
-
-"Actors" communicate by exchanging asynchronous messages_ and avoid
-sharing state. The intention of this model is to allow for highly
-distributed software that, through the adherence to *structured
-concurrency*, results in systems which fail in predictable and
-recoverable ways.
-
-The first step to grok ``tractor`` is to get the basics of ``trio`` down.
-A great place to start is the `trio docs`_ and this `blog post`_.

-- Infinitely nesteable process trees
-- Built-in API for inter-process streaming
-- A (first ever?) "native" multi-core debugger for Python using `pdb++`_
-- (Soon to land) ``asyncio`` support allowing for "infected" actors where
-  `trio` drives the `asyncio` scheduler via the astounding "`guest mode`_"

-The example you're probably after...
-------------------------------------
-It seems the initial query from most new users is "how do I make a worker
-pool thing?".
-
-``tractor`` is built to handle any SC process tree you can
-imagine; the "worker pool" pattern is a trivial special case:

-This patch set also officially removes the ``tractor.run()`` API (which

-of the internal runtime core by:
-- renaming ``tractor._actor`` -> ``._runtime``
-- moving the ``._runtime.ActorActor._process_messages()`` and

-  respectively; this internal API thus looks more similar to (at the

-- bypassing child attempts to acquire the debug lock when detected

-- allowing the root actor to cancel local but IPC-stale subactor
-  requests-tasks for the debug lock when in a "no IPC peers" state.
-
-Further we refined our ``ActorNursery`` semantics to be more similar to

-Add support for debug-lock blocking using a ``._debug.Lock._blocked:
-set[tuple]`` and add ids when no-more IPC connections with the
-root actor are detected.
-
-This is an enhancement which (mostly) solves a lingering debugger
-locking race case we needed to handle:
-
-- child crashes acquires TTY lock in root and attaches to ``pdb``
-- child IPC goes down such that all channels to the root are broken
-  / non-functional.
-- root is stuck thinking the child is still in debug even though it
-  can't be contacted and the child actor machinery hasn't been
-  cancelled by its parent.
-- root get's stuck in deadlock with child since it won't send a cancel
-  request until the child is finished debugging (to avoid clobbering
-  a child that is actually using the debugger), but the child can't
-  unlock the debugger bc IPC is down and it can't contact the root.
-
-To avoid this scenario add debug lock blocking list via
-`._debug.Lock._blocked: set[tuple]` which holds actor uids for any actor
-that is detected by the root as having no transport channel connections
-(of which at least one should exist if this sub-actor at some point
-acquired the debug lock). The root consequently checks this list for any
-actor that tries to (re)acquire the lock and blocks with
-a ``ContextCancelled``. Further, when a debug condition is tested in
-``._runtime._invoke``, the context's ``._enter_debugger_on_cancel`` is
-set to `False` if the actor was put on the block list then all
-post-mortem / crash handling will be bypassed for that task.
-
-In theory this approach to block list management may cause problems
-where some nested child actor acquires and releases the lock multiple
-times and it gets stuck on the block list after the first use? If this
-turns out to be an issue we can try changing the strat so blocks are
-only added when the root has zero IPC peers left?
-
-Further, this adds a root-locking-task side cancel scope,
-``Lock._root_local_task_cs_in_debug``, which can be ``.cancel()``-ed by the root
-runtime when a stale lock is detected during the IPC channel testing.
-However, right now we're NOT using this since it seems to cause test
-failures likely due to causing pre-mature cancellation and maybe needs
-a bit more experimenting?

-# ``Context`` semantics are as follows,
-#  ------------------------------------
-
-# - standard setup/teardown:
-#   ``Portal.open_context()`` starts a new
-#   remote task context in another actor. The target actor's task must
-#   call ``Context.started()`` to unblock this entry on the caller side.
-#   the callee task executes until complete and returns a final value
-#   which is delivered to the caller side and retreived via
-#   ``Context.result()``.
-
-# - cancel termination:
-#   context can be cancelled on either side where either end's task can
-#   call ``Context.cancel()`` which raises a local ``trio.Cancelled``
-#   and sends a task cancel request to the remote task which in turn
-#   raises a ``trio.Cancelled`` in that scope, catches it, and re-raises
-#   as ``ContextCancelled``. This is then caught by
-#   ``Portal.open_context()``'s exit and we get a graceful termination
-#   of the linked tasks.
-
-# - error termination:
-#   error is caught after all context-cancel-scope tasks are cancelled
-#   via regular ``trio`` cancel scope semantics, error is sent to other
-#   side and unpacked as a `RemoteActorError`.
-
-
-# ``Context.open_stream() as stream: MsgStream:`` msg semantics are:
-#  -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-# - either side can ``.send()`` which emits a 'yield' msgs and delivers
-#   a value to the a ``MsgStream.receive()`` call.
-
-# - stream closure: one end relays a 'stop' message which terminates an
-#   ongoing ``MsgStream`` iteration.
-
-# - cancel/error termination: as per the context semantics above but
-#   with implicit stream closure on the cancelling end.
