refactor(ffi): poll background work from one runtime root - #7720
FFI origins, accept loops, cleanup, session drains, and JSON refresh loops each spawned a Tokio task. Demand and token-answer calls also escaped their UniFFI future, so a cancelled but unfreed demand wait could consume the next change.
This finishes the FFI quest: one runtime-owned root owns all background work, and host continuations no longer run inside it.
It also finishes the demand-cancel quest, as pullfrog's review noted. MoqTrackDemand::wanted_changed now polls a shared Polled cursor in place, and demand_cancelled_before_free_leaves_the_change is the test that quest asked for. 8b0429e deletes it and its quest/m1/README.md link. The quest's other check, moq-c's demand watchers, needed no change: each watcher task owns its own Demand clone, and closing the watcher ends the task (rs/moq-c/src/publish.rs:809-858).
Decisions
Decided 2026-11-03 (maintainer, /quest-unblock): how foreign continuations coexist with the single root.
✅ Dispatch foreign wakes outside root polling. Add a runtime dispatch mechanism, so a host continuation that resumes inline never runs inside the root's poll of a child. A blocking callback then can't stall the other background children, and every Background stays under the one root owner.
Not chosen: (2) require every binding to dispatch continuations; (3) accept and document process-wide stalls.
Check: the unchanged two-callback JVM exit probe passes.
How this refines the "one runtime task" boundary of D4 on moq-dev/moq#7519: the root is still the only task that owns or polls background work. A wake the root raises for a parked host call goes to the runtime's blocking pool instead. There, a short-lived task only invokes the host's waker. Wakes are coalesced per call, so there is at most one task per continuation in flight. These tasks own no state and poll no Background. Wakes raised anywhere else still reach the host inline, as before. The decision is also recorded in the quest's Plan in 37f6345; the final commit deletes the finished quest.
Approach
One runtime-owned root polls every Background in kio::Tasks and accepts locally submitted batches. Dropping a completion handle does not cancel its operation.
Shutdown joins the root and workers, releases enrolled and pending children, and refuses late work. Children contain poll and teardown panics. Origin failures are published before driver teardown wakes readers.
Demand cursors use Polled. Fill-demand and token-answer calls stay in their call futures, with runtime entry and shutdown accounting. Existing Task::run calls share that boundary.
Continuation dispatch (ffi::host, Dispatch): every primitive a binding call parks in (run, Polled::wait, Background::finished, Background::watch, and the session drain's result) polls through a waker that wraps the host's. A thread-local marks the root's poll and teardown. A wake raised there is handed to spawn_blocking. If shutdown refuses that task, the wake is delivered when the task is dropped. Every other wake goes straight to the host.
Adds coverage for demand cancellation, root teardown, and a blocking host continuation woken from a root child, plus a nightly benchmark that sweeps held and active children independently.
Recounted production spawn sites against current source: the three Tokio spawn paths in ffi.rs (Background::new, Background::driver, and detached) become one root spawn plus wake-only dispatch. Their consumers are origin drivers, server accepts, cancellation cleanup, session drains, two JSON refresh loops, track/fill demand, and token answers. Per-call futures remain separate. Dedicated blocking codec threads and transport-backend tasks are outside this Background scope.
Impact
Binding signatures and public API: unchanged. No changes to generated bindings or wrappers.
Wire: unchanged.
Cancelled foreign demand waits stop consuming immediately, including while still allocated.
A host continuation that blocks after a background child wakes it, such as Kotlin's Dispatchers.Unconfined resuming inline, now holds a blocking-pool thread instead of the root. Independent callbacks keep running concurrently, as they did before the root.
Cost: a wake raised by a root child for a host call now hands off to a blocking-pool thread instead of running inline. These are control-plane wakes such as announcements, accepts, demand, drains, and JSON refreshes. Frame data written by transport tasks still wakes inline.
Alternatives
Polling origins only from host reads fails when an origin has no reader. Per-operation Tokio tasks keep the ownership problem. Dispatching on a regular Tokio task instead of the blocking pool would let blocked continuations occupy the runtime workers the root needs. Weakening the JVM probe to expect one blocked callback was rejected: it would hide the concurrency the root had lost.
Choices made without asking
Kept the inbox and child set private. They are only populated by locally created handles. Network accept requests keep the existing one-slot backpressure.
Boxed call futures to keep large network futures off the host stack while polling them in place.
Inspected the published FFI hunks of moq-dev/moq#7678 at 8e410e8f0816913ca6e9585a351cf658d591310a. Imported none of its unsettled API and left origin.rs unchanged.
Dispatch wraps the host waker at the shared call primitives rather than in each exported function. Nested wrappers are harmless, and new calls built on those primitives get dispatch automatically.
Checks
quest gate just ci origin/main on head 8b0429e0d8: passed in every selected module. That covers Rust lint and tests (300 FFI tests run, 300 passed, 3 skipped), Kotlin, Python, C/C++, OBS, Go, Dart, and repository tooling. Swift skips on Linux without its toolchain.
Two-callback JVM exit probe, unchanged from main (kt/moq-ffi/src/jvmTest/kotlin/uniffi/moq/JvmExitTest.kt): both tests pass on the dispatch implementation. This is the check the maintainer named.
New a_blocking_host_continuation_does_not_hold_the_root and root_teardown_wakes_host_calls_off_the_root: each fails when its fix is reverted and passes with it.
Earlier, on the root implementation before dispatch: quest gate just test interop --all passed, as did the held/active benchmark against origin/main. Neither was rerun after dispatch. Dispatch only changes which thread delivers a wake the root raises.
quest check --base origin/main on 8b0429e0d8: passed.
Review
mechanical fix by quest land watch: merged main at 313ee81dfec5fa3dc4ece8aafbbea8c7c70f42da with the quest merge driver (head 16fe7cb)
mechanical fix by codex / Codex: Merged base and preserved both appended test groups; passed cargo build --locked -p moq-ffi --features openh264, cargo test --locked -p moq-ffi --features openh264 (304 passed), python3 sh/gh/nightly.test.py (16 passed), and rustfmt --check --edition 2024 rs/moq-ffi/src/test.rs; used installed system-library environment paths. (head 0c25ceb)
Codex / gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort, session 01a1a33b-b2dd-7e91-88ab-a1b668f6648a, started anew after the design change. Latest round 3 reviewed 8b0429e0d8 and reported no findings. That round covered the demand-cancel quest's deletion, given the evidence above. Round 2 on 353c869 also reported none.
Round 1, ffi.rs:313: Root::drop released enrolled children after its InRoot marker ended. Their teardown wakes ran host continuations inline. Fixed in be686ac and 353c869, with a regression test.
Earlier rounds on the root implementation (Claude Code reviewing Codex's work) are superseded. Their open question about inline continuations stalling the root is the maintainer decision this push implements.
Follow-ups
No new quests. Default Gradle discovery is already owned by moq-dev/moq#7632, and installed C/C++ metadata lookup by moq-dev/moq#7654.
A binding may resume a call's continuation inline on the waking thread and run
host code there. Woken by a root child, that held the root and stalled every
other background child. Host calls now park behind a dispatching waker: a wake
raised inside the root's poll moves to the runtime's blocking pool, while wakes
from anywhere else stay inline.
Records the maintainer's 2026-11-03 decision in the quest.

The root owns every Background, and host continuations woken from it run off
its poll, per the maintainer's 2026-11-03 decision.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Host calls now park behind a dispatching waker (ffi::host / Dispatch in rs/moq-ffi/src/ffi.rs), applied in run, Polled::wait, Background::finished, Background::watch, and the session drain's result wait. A thread-local marks the root's poll and teardown. A wake raised there goes to the runtime's blocking pool through spawn_blocking, so a host continuation that resumes inline (Kotlin's Dispatchers.Unconfined) never runs inside the root. Wakes are coalesced per call. If a shutting-down runtime refuses the task, dropping it still delivers the wake. Wakes from anywhere else stay inline.
This refines D4 on #7519: the root is still the only task that owns or polls background work, and dispatch tasks only invoke the host's waker. The unchanged two-callback JVM exit probe passes. The next local review starts a new session.
Field drop order released the child set after Root::drop returned, so teardown
wakes ran host continuations inline on the root.

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The FFI runtime now polls background operations through a root-owned driver and dispatches host wakes made during root polling through the blocking pool. Selected FFI calls use run or host instead of detached execution. Demand polling now uses Polled. Tests cover runtime shutdown, wake dispatch, call cancellation, and demand-change cancellation. An ignored background-task benchmark and its Nightly report checks were added. Two planning documents and one Required-list entry were removed; the no-spawn README now describes the wake-dispatch exception.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 16fe7
The remaining concern is bounded to benchmark warmup failure handling, not an established production failure. Merging is reasonable with follow-up to apply the existing round timeout to warmup.

Explanation
The title "refactor(ffi): poll background work from one runtime root" matches the main change. The diff replaces per-operation Tokio spawns in rs/moq-ffi with one runtime-owned root driver that polls all Background values, and adds wake dispatch for host continuations. The title is specific and short, and it uses the conventional commit form. It does not mention the wake-dispatch mechanism or the demand-cancel fix, but those are secondary to the main change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem (per-task spawns in FFI origins, accept loops, cleanup, and demand/token-answer calls escaping their UniFFI futures), the approach (one runtime-owned root, Polled cursors, ffi::host continuation dispatch), the impact (no binding or wire changes), and the checks run. It is closely related to the changeset and gives the reviewer enough context to evaluate the diff.

No actionable findings. The root drains and rearms its submission inbox, isolates child polling and teardown failures, and closes submissions before releasing children on shutdown. Root-originated host wakes are dispatched outside the root, including during teardown; the new tests exercise a blocking continuation and teardown wake. In-place demand and token waits retain their cancellation and shutdown boundaries.
Verification: static GitHub-only inspection of the FFI and relevant kio/UniFFI wake paths. I did not run the JVM probe, language bindings, interop suite, benchmarks, or blocking-pool saturation and concurrency stress tests.

Reviewed changes
One root driver — Runtime::new spawns a single task owning Root, which ingests local submissions from a kio::Shared inbox and polls every Background as a kio::Tasks child; Root::drop refuses late work and releases pending and enrolled children inside the InRoot marker.
Wake dispatch — host/Dispatch/Deferred move a host continuation's wake raised inside the root to the blocking pool (coalesced per call), so a blocking binding continuation no longer stalls other background children.
In-place binding calls — detached (spawn + AbortOnDrop) is replaced by run, polled in place under Polling accounting and enter(); MoqTrackDemand now watches a Polled cursor, so a cancelled-but-unfreed wait no longer consumes a demand change.
Coverage and bench — root teardown, blocking-continuation, teardown-wake, and demand-cancel tests, plus a nightly rust-background held/active sweep wired into the bindings nightly check.
ℹ️ The demand-cancel quest is done but still open
This PR makes MoqTrackDemand::wanted_changed poll a shared Polled cursor and adds demand_cancelled_before_free_leaves_the_change, which is exactly the fix and test quest/m1/demand-cancel-race.md calls for. That quest and its quest/m1/README.md bullet still describe the old crate::ffi::detached path, so leaving them open both invites duplicate work and points at a symbol this PR deletes.
Technical details
# Close the demand-cancel quest with this PR## Affected sites-`quest/m1/demand-cancel-race.md:18-29` — still says `MoqTrackDemand::wanted_changed` "runs the watch through `crate::ffi::detached`" and asks for the in-place shape plus the test; both land here.
-`quest/m1/README.md:185` — still lists the quest as open.
## Required outcome- Delete `quest/m1/demand-cancel-race.md` and its `quest/m1/README.md` entry (the same `chore(quest)` treatment `no-spawn/ffi.md` got in this PR), or record why it stays open.

Agreed, thanks. This PR does finish quest/m1/demand-cancel-race.md. MoqTrackDemand::wanted_changed now polls a shared Polled cursor in place (rs/moq-ffi/src/demand.rs:44-49), and demand_cancelled_before_free_leaves_the_change is the test that quest asked for. 8b0429e0d8 deletes the quest and its quest/m1/README.md link with quest rm.
The quest also asked to check moq-c's demand callbacks. They needed no change: each watcher task owns its own Demand clone, and closing the watcher ends the task, so no later call can lose a change (rs/moq-c/src/publish.rs:809-858).

Document that a continuation resumed during shutdown must not call moq_ffi_shutdown.
Runtime::shutdown holds the owner lock (runtime.thread) until after the worker join. It calls runtime.stopped.close() while that lock is held. Closing stopped wakes its waiters on the calling thread, before close returns. A parked run call wakes through the Dispatch waker. Outside the root, that wake calls the host waker inline. A host dispatcher that resumes the continuation inline on this thread, such as Dispatchers.Unconfined, can run that continuation while owner is still locked. If the continuation calls moq_ffi_shutdown, the nested call locks runtime.thread again on the same thread. A same-thread relock of std::sync::Mutex may panic or deadlock. The stop signal and the join then never run.
The base revision uses the same ordering, so this hazard does not come from this PR.
The fix is a contract statement on moq_ffi_shutdown: a continuation resumed during shutdown must not call it. Do not add an early return for reentrant calls. It would skip the join that concurrent shutdown callers wait on.

Cover blocking-pool dispatch with several teardown continuations.
root_teardown_wakes_host_calls_off_the_root wakes one host call. Its only assertion is that the woken thread differs from the test thread. The test body runs on the thread that calls block_on, so a wake dispatched with tokio::spawn passes the same assertion as one dispatched with spawn_blocking. The existing blocking-continuation test covers one continuation during root polling, not teardown.
Add a case that pins worker_threads to a small fixed count. The case should wake more blocking continuations than workers during teardown. It should then assert that an unrelated task on the runtime completes within a timeout. Pinning the count keeps the case independent of the host CPU count.

Assert the Rust background filter in the bindings test.
The bindings test checks the rust-background.json message, but the stubs write no reports. Removing bench::benchmark_background from the Rust test filter leaves this test passing.

Warmup calls round(n) with no timeout. If a child never acknowledges a pulse, warmup blocks. Nextest then kills the test after about 60 seconds, and the root wedged panic never runs. Apply the same timeout to warmup.

Problem
FFI origins, accept loops, cleanup, session drains, and JSON refresh loops each spawned a Tokio task. Demand and token-answer calls also escaped their UniFFI future, so a cancelled but unfreed demand wait could consume the next change.
This finishes the FFI quest: one runtime-owned root owns all background work, and host continuations no longer run inside it.
It also finishes the demand-cancel quest, as pullfrog's review noted.

The quest's other check, moq-c's demand watchers, needed no change: each watcher task owns its ownDemandclone, and closing the watcher ends the task (rs/moq-c/src/publish.rs:809-858).Decisions
Decided 2026-11-03 (maintainer, /quest-unblock): how foreign continuations coexist with the single root.
Backgroundstays under the one root owner.How this refines the "one runtime task" boundary of D4 on moq-dev/moq#7519: the root is still the only task that owns or polls background work. A wake the root raises for a parked host call goes to the runtime's blocking pool instead. There, a short-lived task only invokes the host's waker. Wakes are coalesced per call, so there is at most one task per continuation in flight. These tasks own no state and poll no
Background. Wakes raised anywhere else still reach the host inline, as before. The decision is also recorded in the quest's Plan in 37f6345; the final commit deletes the finished quest.Approach
Backgroundinkio::Tasksand accepts locally submitted batches. Dropping a completion handle does not cancel its operation.Polled. Fill-demand and token-answer calls stay in their call futures, with runtime entry and shutdown accounting. ExistingTask::runcalls share that boundary.ffi::host,Dispatch): every primitive a binding call parks in (run,Polled::wait,Background::finished,Background::watch, and the session drain's result) polls through a waker that wraps the host's. A thread-local marks the root's poll and teardown. A wake raised there is handed tospawn_blocking. If shutdown refuses that task, the wake is delivered when the task is dropped. Every other wake goes straight to the host.Recounted production spawn sites against current source: the three Tokio spawn paths in
ffi.rs(Background::new,Background::driver, anddetached) become one root spawn plus wake-only dispatch. Their consumers are origin drivers, server accepts, cancellation cleanup, session drains, two JSON refresh loops, track/fill demand, and token answers. Per-call futures remain separate. Dedicated blocking codec threads and transport-backend tasks are outside thisBackgroundscope.Impact
Dispatchers.Unconfinedresuming inline, now holds a blocking-pool thread instead of the root. Independent callbacks keep running concurrently, as they did before the root.Alternatives
Polling origins only from host reads fails when an origin has no reader. Per-operation Tokio tasks keep the ownership problem. Dispatching on a regular Tokio task instead of the blocking pool would let blocked continuations occupy the runtime workers the root needs. Weakening the JVM probe to expect one blocked callback was rejected: it would hide the concurrency the root had lost.
