Fixes #11433

Root cause

This is a runtime race between JS agents, not a timing assumption in the test. Every JS agent runs the same process-wide pumps: the primary thread and each node:worker_threads Worker (P9 gave each Worker its own heap and loop). Three queues on the worker-agent network path were not tagged with an owner, so whichever agent pumped first drained all of them:

  1. perry-stdlib promise-resolution queues (common/async_bridge.rs, PENDING_RESOLUTIONS / PENDING_DEFERRED). The primary agent could settle a Worker's fetch promise, and the Worker could settle the primary's. The continuation then ran against the wrong heap and the wrong thread-owned fetch handle. That produced immediate 000undefined, and also Uncaught Error: Invalid response handle.
  2. The Worker-to-parent event queue (worker_threads PARENT_EVENTS). A Worker's own pump could drain the events addressed to its parent. Its postMessage was then dispatched on the Worker thread, and the parent never got it (WORKER STOPPED AFTER 1/2).
  3. The perry-ext-http server pump. A Worker's pump could take a request queued for the primary agent's http.Server and run that handler on the Worker thread. The response was never written and the Worker's fetch hung (WORKER STOPPED AFTER 0/2).

Fix

Each entry now records the agent it belongs to, following the model perry_runtime::agent already uses for timers and thread results:

  • async_bridge:
    • Every entry carries its owner: AgentId.
    • js_stdlib_process_pending, the keep-alive check and the GC root scanner look only at the calling agent's entries.
    • Pool and fallback threads (perry_ffi_spawn_blocking, the container executor) re-assert the submitting agent with ResolutionOwnerScope.
  • worker_threads:
    • A Worker captures its parent agent when it is created, and tags each event with it.
    • The pump and has_pending consider only the calling agent's events.
  • perry-ext-http:
    • HttpServer.owner_agent is set when a server is created.
    • The pump, the has-active check, connection events, in-flight requests, aborted requests and closed sockets are all filtered to the owning agent.
    • To support this, perry_ffi::agent_post::current_agent() is exported over a new js_perry_current_agent C ABI.
  • Retiring an agent: perry_runtime::agent::register_retire_hook lets retire_agent purge a dead agent's leftover resolutions and events.
  • Custody inventory (scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json): added the CURRENT_PARENT_AGENT verdict (it holds an id, not a pointer) and removed the now-stale CURRENT_AGENT entry.

The test itself is unchanged.

Evidence

Test: test_gap_turnloop_p9_worker_agent_net. Each run's output and exit code were compared exactly against Node 26.5.1's output. Load: 10 yes > /dev/null workers on a 10-core M1, with 4 test loops running concurrently.

binary loaded run (2 loops × 50 each, concurrently) 100 sequential runs, no load
before (origin/main 04e3c3e) 32/50 + 29/50 failed (61%) 35/100 failed
after (this branch) 0/50 + 0/50 failed 0/100 failed

An earlier loaded run of the unfixed binary failed 35/50 and 34/50.

  • Before: every failure shape seen in CI reproduced: immediate 000undefined, Invalid response handle, WORKER STOPPED AFTER 0/2 and WORKER STOPPED AFTER 1/2.
  • Intermediate build: with only the async_bridge change, the 000undefined failures went away, but the hangs remained. Instrumenting the run showed the Worker's /two request never reached the server handler, which is how the http pump race (item 3) was found.

Validation (real exit codes)

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: rc=0.
  • RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo check --all-targets -p perry-runtime -p perry-stdlib: rc=0. The same check with -p perry-ext-http -p perry-ffi added also passed.
  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --lib: rc=0, 4653 passed.
  • cargo test --release -p perry-stdlib --lib -- async_bridge worker_threads fetch::lifecycle: rc=0, 18 passed, including the new a_pump_leaves_another_agents_resolutions_for_their_owner.
  • cargo test --release -p perry-ext-http --lib: rc=0, 184 passed, including the new a_server_belongs_to_the_agent_that_created_it.
  • SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: 1 of 92 failed, "Public benchmark evidence freshness", which is the known pre-existing failure.

Not run locally: the --filter turnloop gap sweep and the full parity harness. A disk-space shortage forced the build tree to be deleted, so CI's gap-suite shards need to cover those.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability of promise resolution, worker messages, and HTTP server requests when multiple worker agents are active.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now tags async resolutions, Worker parent events, and HTTP server work with agent ownership. Pumps, activity checks, scanners, and cleanup hooks select or remove entries by owner. Background execution preserves the submitting agent’s scope.

Changes

Agent-scoped work

Layer / File(s) Summary
Current agent identity and retirement hooks
crates/perry-runtime/src/agent.rs
The runtime adds a process-wide registry for retirement hooks and invokes registered hooks when an agent retires.
Agent-owned async resolutions
crates/perry-stdlib/src/common/async_bridge.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/container/executor.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/perry_ffi_async.rs, changelog.d/11445-cross-agent-pump-ownership.md
Resolution queues record their owning agent. Scanners, pumps, and pending checks use the current agent’s entries. Spawn helpers preserve the submitting agent’s scope. The changelog describes the ownership changes and reports test failure counts.
Worker parent-event routing
crates/perry-stdlib/src/worker_threads.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/worker_threads/worker_pump.rs, scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json
Worker events carry the creating agent ID. The pump and pending check select events for the current agent, while a retirement hook removes events for a retiring agent. The GC root census classifies CURRENT_PARENT_AGENT as a scalar ID.
HTTP server and request ownership
crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server/in_flight.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/turnloop_serve/conn.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/mod.rs
Servers and queued request or connection work track agent ownership. Activity checks and pumps select work for the current agent. A test checks server ownership across agents.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 24c4b

Multi-agent HTTP/2 work can run callbacks in the wrong agent or keep unrelated loops active, while retirement can leave HTTP handles and Worker events retained. Resolve these isolation and retained-state risks before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 24c4b

Routing work to its owning thread addresses the reported cross-thread failures, but some work can remain queued after its owner exits. That could accumulate state in a long-running process. The extent of externally triggerable exposure is not established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Events produced by a surviving child Worker after its parent agent's one-time retirement purge can remain addressed to an agent that will never pump them, weakening process-lifetime resource containment.
  • Medium · reliability · inferred: HTTP close, abort, connection, and in-flight state can remain queued for a retired worker: the new ownership filters prevent other agents from reaping it, while no HTTP retirement purge was found in the inspected paths.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The established scope is a process containing multiple JS agents and shared queues. Repeated orphaned entries could affect that process's availability; an independently exploitable remote path or cross-process scope was not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Worker code capable of leaving a child running after its parent exits can produce events after the parent's purge. The source establishes an orphan-state path, not that an external attacker can create that Worker lifecycle.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Owner checks prevent the inspected Worker and HTTP pumps from dispatching another live agent's work. The new hook registration is a Rust API, and the inspected built-in hook filters by retirement ID; direct untrusted registration was not established.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Retirement's final loop turn can enqueue HTTP close work, but the inspected HTTP drains run in a separate, owner-filtered pump. This leaves cleanup dependent on whether that pump runs before the owner disappears.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make retirement and later enqueueing agree on a terminal owner state, and explicitly discard or finalize HTTP work that cannot reach its owning pump. Verify the behavior under repeated nested-Worker exits and connection shutdowns.

Apply agent ownership to the HTTP/2 client keep-alive check.

After the server checks become agent-scoped, has_active_h2_clients() still returns true for any pending HTTP/2 event, pending transport work, or active client session in the process. A Worker’s HTTP/2 client can therefore keep the primary agent’s loop active after its own work finishes. Scope those checks to the calling agent as well. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Scope HTTP/2 events to their owning agent.

This filter limits HTTP/2 requests to owned servers, but process_pending_h2_events() still drains every entry in H2_PENDING_EVENTS. The pump also calls that drain after the server loop. When a Worker and the primary agent use HTTP/2, either agent can take the other agent’s event and invoke its JS callback. Tag HTTP/2 events with their owner and filter the event drain.

Reject events addressed to a retired parent agent.

If a nested Worker outlives its parent agent, it can call push_parent_event after the retirement hook has purged that agent’s events. No agent can then drain the new event. Repeated nested Workers can leave events in PARENT_EVENTS indefinitely. Coordinate the retired-agent check with enqueueing so an event cannot enter the queue after its final purge.

Reconcile WorkerRecord when purging Exit events.

When purge_parent_events removes a WorkerEvent::Exit, the Exit handler does not run. That handler marks the worker inactive with set_liveness(false, ...) and takes terminate_promise. retire_agent does not perform this cleanup. A refed child can therefore keep LIVE_REFED_WORKERS nonzero, causing js_worker_threads_has_pending to keep the event loop pending.

Move the worker-record cleanup into a shared helper and call it for discarded Exit events.

…owning agent

Every JS agent (the primary thread and each node:worker_threads Worker) runs
the same process-wide pumps, but three queues on the worker-agent network path
were untagged, so whichever agent pumped first took everything:

- perry-stdlib's promise-resolution queues (async_bridge): the primary agent
  settled a Worker's fetch promise and ran its continuation against the main
  heap ("immediate 000undefined", "Invalid response handle"), and the
  Worker settled the primary's.
- worker_threads' Worker->parent event queue: a Worker's own pump drained the
  events addressed to its parent, so a postMessage was dispatched on the
  Worker thread and the parent never saw it.
- perry-ext-http's server pump: a Worker's pump drained requests queued for
  the primary agent's http.Server and ran its handler on the Worker thread,
  so the response was never written and the Worker's fetch hung.

Each entry now carries the agent it belongs to (perry_runtime::agent, the
model timers and thread results already use), pumps and keep-alive checks
consider only their own agent's entries, the GC scanner visits only its own
heap's promises, and retire_agent purges a dead agent's leftovers through a
new retire-hook registry. Pool/fallback threads that settle a promise re-assert
the submitting agent with ResolutionOwnerScope.

Fixes #11433
…ENT_AGENT entry

CURRENT_AGENT is now reached by a registered scanner through the new
agent-scoped async_bridge scanner, so its exemption went stale; the new
worker_threads CURRENT_PARENT_AGENT holder is an agent id, not a pointer.

Merge queue: rebased over #11444, which landed first and conflicted in crates/perry-ffi/src/agent_post.rs. Both PRs added perry_ffi::agent_post::current_agent(), and both wrap crate::agent::current_agent(). I kept main's version (#11444, via js_perry_agent_current) and dropped this PR's duplicate function and its js_perry_current_agent runtime export. This PR's ext-http callers use the same name and signature, so they're unchanged. Gates re-run on the rebase: fmt, gc_runtime_root_holders, raw-handle debt and the thread-local policy all pass, and -D warnings cargo check --all-targets of perry-runtime, perry-stdlib, perry-ext-http, perry-ext-net and perry-ffi is clean.
