tractor/runtime/_state.py:106
RuntimeVars.__setattr__unconditionally callsbreakpoint(), which will pause execution any time runtime vars are mutated (including in production) and will hang test runs/CI. Remove thebreakpoint()(or gate it behind an explicit debug flag) and keep__setattr__behavior side-effect free.
tractor/runtime/_state.py:158get_runtime_vars()is annotated to returndict, but whenas_dict=Falseit returns aRuntimeVarsinstance. Since this is exported fromtractor.__init__, update the return type todict[str, Any] | RuntimeVars(and/or overloads) so callers and type checkers aren’t misled.
tractor/runtime/_runtime.py:1894- The module-level import at the bottom (
from ..discovery._registry import Registrar) introduces a circular import if a user importstractor.discovery._registrydirectly (it importsruntime._runtime.Actor, which then importsdiscovery._registrybeforeRegistraris defined). Consider removing this eager import and providing backward compat via a lazy__getattr__/local import, or by keeping the alias only intractor.discovery._registry.
tractor/runtime/_state.py:81 RuntimeVarsfield types/defaults don’t match the actual values being stored in_runtime_vars(e.g._root_mailboxdefaults to(None, None)but is annotated astuple[str, str|int]). ConstructingRuntimeVars(**_runtime_vars)will raisemsgspec.ValidationError. Update the annotations to includeNonewhere applicable and align defaults accordingly.
tractor/runtime/_state.py:90RuntimeVarsuses mutable literals ([]) as defaults for_root_addrsand_registry_addrs. Withmsgspec.Struct, these defaults can be shared across instances, leading to cross-test/process state leakage. Usefield(default_factory=list)for list defaults.
tractor/runtime/_state.py:117RuntimeVars.update()iteratesfrom_dict.items(), butmsgspec.Structinstances don’t provide.items()like a dict. This will fail if callers pass anotherRuntimeVars(or any Struct) as the input. Consider accepting onlyMapping(dict-like) or usingmsgspec.structs.asdict()/__struct_fields__to iterate fields safely.

The fixture injection check assert kwargs[kw] is incorrect for valid falsey values (e.g. debug_mode=False, reg_addr=None) and will also KeyError if pytest provided the arg positionally. Instead, check for key presence (or bind args/kwargs to the wrapped signature) and avoid asserting truthiness of fixture values.

Valid catch. assert kwargs[kw] fails for falsey fixture values like debug_mode=False (raises AssertionError) and would KeyError if pytest provided the arg positionally. Changed to assert kw in kwargs which checks presence without requiring truthiness.

Windows start-method validation is inverted: when start_method is unset (None), this branch will still raise because None != 'trio'. This makes @tractor_test unusable on Windows unless start_method is explicitly provided. Set the default start method to 'trio' on Windows (or only enforce the restriction when a non-None start_method is requested).

Valid catch. The walrus operator assigns start_method = None in the outer if, then the inner if tests None != 'trio' which is always True — making @tractor_test unusable on Windows without explicit start_method. Restructured to match the pre-wrapt logic: default to 'trio' when unset, only raise when explicitly set to a non-'trio' value.

- Use `kw in kwargs` membership test instead of `kwargs[kw]` to avoid `KeyError` on missing params. - Restructure Windows `start_method` logic to properly default to `'trio'` when unset; only raise on an explicit non-trio value.

Expose a copy of the current actor's `_runtime_vars` dict via a public fn; TODO to convert to `RuntimeVars` struct. (this commit msg was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Allow external app code to register custom exception types on `._exceptions` so they can be re-raised on the receiver side of an IPC dialog via `get_err_type()`. (this commit msg was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
So we can start transition from runtime-vars `dict` to a typed struct for better clarity and wire-ready monitoring potential, as well as better traceability when . Deats, - add a new `RuntimeVars(Struct)` with all fields from `_runtime_vars` dict typed out - include `__setattr__()` with `breakpoint()` for debugging any unexpected mutations. - add `.update()` method for batch-updating compat with `dict`. - keep old `_runtime_vars: dict` in place (we need to port a ton of stuff to adjust..). (this commit msg was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Export the new `RuntimeVars` struct and `get_runtime_vars()` from `tractor.__init__` and improve the accessor to optionally return the struct form. Deats, - add `RuntimeVars` and `get_runtime_vars` to `__init__.py` exports; alphabetize `_state` imports. - move `get_runtime_vars()` up in `_state.py` to sit right below `_runtime_vars` dict definition. - add `as_dict: bool = True` param so callers can get either the legacy `dict` or the new `RuntimeVars` struct. - drop the old stub fn at bottom of `_state.py`. - rm stale `from .msg.pretty_struct import Struct` comment. (this commit msg was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Refactor the test-fn deco to use `wrapt.decorator` instead of `functools.wraps` for better fn-sig preservation and optional-args support via `PartialCallableObjectProxy`. Deats, - add `timeout` and `hide_tb` deco params - wrap test-fn body with `trio.fail_after(timeout)` - consolidate per-fixture `if` checks into a loop - add `iscoroutinefunction()` type-check on wrapped fn - set `__tracebackhide__` at each wrapper level Also, - update imports for new subpkg paths: `tractor.spawn._spawn`, `tractor.discovery._addr`, `tractor.runtime._state` (see upcoming, likely large patch commit ;) (this commit msg was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Restructure the flat `tractor/` top-level private mods into (more nested) subpackages: - `runtime/`: `_runtime`, `_portal`, `_rpc`, `_state`, `_supervise` - `spawn/`: `_spawn`, `_entry`, `_forkserver_override`, `_mp_fixup_main` - `discovery/`: `_addr`, `_discovery`, `_multiaddr` Each subpkg `__init__.py` is kept lazy (no eager imports) to avoid circular import issues. Also, - update all intra-pkg imports across ~35 mods to use the new subpkg paths (e.g. `from .runtime._state` instead of `from ._state`) (this patch was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Adjust all `tractor._state`, `tractor._addr`, `tractor._supervise`, etc. refs in tests and examples to use the new `runtime/`, `discovery/`, `spawn/` paths. Also, - use `tractor.debug_mode()` pub API instead of `tractor._state.debug_mode()` in a few test mods - add explicit `timeout=20` to `test_respawn_consumer_task` `@tractor_test` deco call (this patch was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Move the `Arbiter` class out of `runtime._runtime` into its logical home at `discovery._registry` as `Registrar(Actor)`. This completes the long-standing terminology migration from "arbiter" to "registrar/registry" throughout the codebase. Deats, - add new `discovery/_registry.py` mod with `Registrar` class + backward-compat `Arbiter = Registrar` alias. - rename `Actor.is_arbiter` attr -> `.is_registrar`; old attr now a `@property` with `DeprecationWarning`. - `_root.py` imports `Registrar` directly for root-actor instantiation. - export `Registrar` + `Arbiter` from `tractor.__init__`. - `_runtime.py` re-imports from `discovery._registry` for backward compat. Also, - update all test files to use `.is_registrar` (`test_local`, `test_rpc`, `test_spawning`, `test_discovery`, `test_multi_program`). - update "arbiter" -> "registrar" in comments/docstrings across `_discovery.py`, `_server.py`, `_transport.py`, `_testing/pytest.py`, and examples. - drop resolved TODOs from `_runtime.py` and `_root.py`.

Add `get_cpu_state()` helper to read CPU freq settings from `/sys/devices/system/cpu/` and use it to compensate the perf time-limit when `auto-cpufreq` (or similar) scales down the max frequency. Deats, - read `*_pstate_max_freq` and `scaling_max_freq` to compute a `cpu_scaled` ratio. - when `cpu_scaled != 1.`, increase `this_fast` limit proportionally (factoring dual-threaded cores). - log a warning via `test_log` when compensating. (this commit msg was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Factor the CPU-freq-scaling helper out of `test_legacy_one_way_streaming` into `conftest.py` alongside a new `cpu_scaling_factor()` convenience fn that returns a latency-headroom multiplier (>= 1.0). Apply it to the two other flaky-timeout tests, - `test_cancel_via_SIGINT_other_task`: 2s -> scaled - `test_example[we_are_processes.py]`: 16s -> scaled Deats, - add `get_cpu_state()` + `cpu_scaling_factor()` to `conftest.py` so all test mods can share the logic. - catch `IndexError` (empty glob) in addition to `FileNotFoundError`. - rename `factor` var -> `headroom` at call sites for clarity on intent.

The `open_actor_cluster()` teardown hangs intermittently on UDS when `gather_contexts(mngrs=())` raises `ValueError` mid-setup; likely a race in the actor-nursery cleanup vs UDS socket shutdown. TCP passes reliably (5/5 runs). - Add `tpt_proto` fixture param to the test - `pytest.skip()` on UDS with a TODO for deeper investigation of `._clustering`/`._supervise` teardown paths (this patch was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh]) [claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
Mv core mods to
runtime/,spawn/,discovery/subpkgsMotivation
The top-level
tractor/package had grown to ~20 single-file modulesall sitting flat in one dir, making it increasingly hard to grok
which modules belong to which subsystem (actor runtime vs process
spawning vs service discovery). This branch reorganizes the internals
into three coherent subpackages —
runtime/,spawn/,discovery/— each with its own
__init__.pyre-exporting the public-facingnames so downstream code sees no breakage.
While in there, the
Arbiteractor-type gets its proper name(
Registrar) and moves to thediscovery/subpkg where itsemantically belongs. A handful of quality-of-life improvements ride
along: a
RuntimeVarsstruct for typed access to actor runtimestate,
reg_err_types()for custom remote exception registration,wrapt-based decorator preservation fortractor_test(), andCPU-freq-scaling latency headroom for tests that were flaking under
auto-cpufreq.Summary of changes
