fix(ext-net): each agent drains only its own socket events; pg/mysql2 in worker_threads no longer hang or misdeliver (#11340) - #11444

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime exposes the current agent ID. Network event queues, socket and server ownership, active-handle checks, and pending-close tracking now use that ID. A worker-thread regression test performs repeated TCP echo requests. ChangesAgent-scoped network handling
Priority: ⬆️ High Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change gives each worker thread its own socket-event queue, which addresses the misdelivered database-driver events. The fix is sound on its main path. However, a worker's queue is never released when the worker exits. If a worker terminates with unread socket data still queued, that data stays in memory for the life of the process. Applications that repeatedly start and stop networking workers can slowly accumulate memory. This is reasonable to merge with a follow-up that clears the queue on worker exit. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Agent-scoped routing prevents workers’ socket events from being consumed by the wrong thread. However, a worker that exits with queued network events may leave their data in memory for the life of the process. Repeated worker termination could increase memory pressure. Retained concerns

Ready to merge once CI is clean. Fixes #11340: the net layer had one process-wide socket-event queue, so the main thread could take and dispatch a worker's connect/data/close events. As a result pg hung, mysql2 threw removeAllListeners after the worker exited, and the process sometimes crashed. Each agent now has its own event queue and keep-alive accounting. The new gap test (25 sockets in a worker) passes 2/20 runs on main and 20/20 on the branch. Driver runs matching Node go from 0–16/20 to 20/20 each. The 65-test net/worker A/B shows no regressions. |

Reclaim each agent’s pending network queue at worker exit.
The map entry and empty queue are small, but the queue can retain PendingNetEvent::Data buffers and error strings. Each Data event retains a refcounted read-buffer allocation, documented as 16 KiB per read. The queue is unbounded and retire_agent does not remove it, so short-lived workers can retain material payload storage after exit.
Add a teardown hook that removes the retiring agent’s queue and drops its pending events during retire_agent. Do not dispatch events after the worker has exited or keep a permanent leaked reference.

Fixes #11340
What was wrong
Compiled database drivers misbehaved inside
worker_threadsworkers:connect()or crashed.TypeError … reading 'removeAllListeners'.The cause is in perry-ext-net, not the drivers. The crate kept one process-wide queue of pending socket events (
statics::pending_events()). Every agent's pump drained it throughjs_ext_net_drain_pending, and every push woke the primary thread. A socket opened on a worker therefore had its'connect'/'data'/'close'events contended for by the primary's pump. When the primary won, it dispatched the event against listeners that live on the worker's heap, with one of three results:'connect'after callingconnect().TypeErrorafter the worker exited.Package-free reduction: in a worker,
new net.Socket(),connect(), thenonce('connect', …). On main this lost roughly one round in five.The fix
pending_events()returns the calling agent's queue. Events are produced on the owning agent's thread (its loop's sink, or an FFI call from its JS), so the pushing agent is the socket's owner. The queues live in a map keyed by agent id and are leaked&'static Mutexes, so every existing call site stays unchanged. Tracing every push in the new gap test confirmed that each event is pushed on the socket owner's agent.perry_ffi::agent_post::current_agent()exports the runtime'sagent::current_agent()through a newjs_perry_agent_current.SocketStateandServerStaterecordowner_agent, and so does the close-in-flight set.has_active_handlesnow counts only the calling agent's sockets and servers. Before, a worker's socket kept the primary's event loop alive after the worker had exited with events still undrained.pending_events()entry is removed fromscripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json. The gate reported it as no longer matching an uncovered holder.PendingNetEventstill carries no GC pointers.Evidence
