Wow, that was the wildest session I've seen so far. Claude kept coming up with increasingly obscure theories what the problem might be, and run through several "Now I see it!" cycles that all ended with the deduction that this wasn't it after all. I think he went into "let's just do SOMETHING" mode shortly before the timeout and committed this nonsense. And he didn't even reply to my second question! |

Persistent Domainslib domain workers (from the shared
sctx.pool) were kept alive throughout compilation—including whenMacroContext.interpretran the Eval interpreter. On platforms with true parallelism (arm64), this caused concurrency issues manifesting as "Uncaught exception Eof" in the misc CI tests.The root cause: commit
a7bee8b67replacedrun_in_new_poolwithLazy.force sctx.pool(droppingTask.runwrappers in the process). The subsequent fix restoredTask.runviarun_with_poolbut kept the persistent pool—so workers remained alive into the generate phase.Changes
filters.ml: RestoreParallel.run_in_new_pool scom.timer_ctxforrun_safe_filters,save_class_state, anddestruction. Each operation now creates a fresh pool and callsteardown_pool(joining all workers) before returning, so no domain workers are alive during before/after_save callbacks or the generate/interp phase.Comment update: Clarifies why a fresh pool is required—not just "Eval doesn't get along with it" but that concurrent domain activity on truly-parallel hardware causes issues.
The shared
sctx.poolis still used for operations that don't run adjacent to Eval (HXB generation, cache serialization, dump).🔒 GitHub Advanced Security automatically protects Copilot coding agent pull requests.
