fix(turn-runner): keep polling the turn while delivering progress - #611
TurnRunner handled a TurnSignal::Progress by awaiting events.progress(...) inside the select branch, in a nested select! that watched only cancellation and the wall-clock deadline. While a delivery was pending, the turn's own future (run) was not polled.
That is a futurelock. If the turn's future is queued on a lock when the delivery starts, the lock can be handed to that waiter and then never used, because nothing polls the turn. If the delivery needs the same lock, or anything else the turn must produce, both wait forever. Every deadline inside the turn is frozen as well.
OpenHuman hits this in production code. The progress sink projects each event through a TinyChannels module call. That call needs the tinybus connection's pending mutex, and a tool-output compaction inside the turn had just been granted that mutex. The connection's single reader then blocks on the same mutex, so no reply on that connection is ever delivered. The symptom: an embed e2e turn hangs until the test harness kills it, with every thread idle. It reproduced in about 70% of runs with 8 runs in parallel on 4 cores.
Fix
The delivery in flight is now one branch of the runner's select!, alongside run, cancellation, the deadline and idle. The turn keeps being polled while progress is delivered.
No new progress is received until the in-flight delivery lands. This keeps the bounded channel's backpressure on the host and keeps events in order.
The idle timer stays disabled during a delivery, as before, when the delivery was awaited inline.
When the turn finishes, the in-flight delivery completes first. Then the remaining queued events are delivered, still honouring cancellation and the deadline (deliver_within_turn, which also replaces the two duplicated inline selects).
Tests
New: turn_runner::tests::progress_delivery::a_progress_delivery_that_waits_on_the_turn_does_not_freeze_it. The host emits one progress event, yields, then signals that it was polled again. The sink's delivery waits for that signal.
RED on the old runner: the 10s timeout elapses.
GREEN with the fix.
cargo test -p tinyagents-harness --lib turn_runner: 53 passed.
Downstream: OpenHuman's profile_host_capabilities e2e ran 24 times (3 rounds of 8 in parallel on 4 cores). It went from hanging in most runs to 24/24 passing in about 17s each.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Progress notifications are delivered without blocking turn polling, helping turns continue while progress updates are being processed.
Queued progress updates are delivered in order before the turn result is returned, including updates that were waiting when the turn finished.
Cancellation and deadline handling remain active while progress delivery is pending, so a stalled notification delivery does not prevent the turn from ending appropriately.
Add tests covering progress delivery in the turn runner to verify that progress updates are emitted correctly during a turn.

Wire the new progress delivery test file into the turn runner test suite so its cases are compiled and run alongside the existing ones.

Progress delivery is now a separate branch of the turn loop instead of being awaited inline, so the turn keeps being polled while an event is handed to the sink. This avoids a deadlock when delivery needs the turn to make progress, and the in-flight event is finished before draining the queue on completion.

Completeness: Complete Test assessment: No supported feature-to-test mapping was available; this does not mean tests are absent or passed.
Features
Modified — Progress delivery moved out of inline nested select into the main loop's own branch: The turn's future keeps being polled while a progress event is handed to the sink, so a delivery that depends on the turn advancing (directly or via a lock permit handed to a waiter inside the turn) no longer deadlocks the turn and freezes its internal deadlines. (crates/tinyagents-harness/src/turn_runner/types.rswhere)
Added — `deliver_within_turn` helper for post-turn drain and queued delivery: Deduplicates the two inline cancellation/deadline selects, finishes the in-flight delivery before draining queued events in order after the turn finishes, and still returns a stop outcome if cancellation or the wall-clock deadline fires first. (crates/tinyagents-harness/src/turn_runner/types.rswhere)
Modified — Backpressure, ordering, and idle suppression preserved during delivery: The progress-receive branch is disabled while a delivery is in flight and the idle-timeout branch is disabled during delivery, keeping the bounded channel's backpressure on the host and events in order while the idle timer stays disabled as it was with the prior inline await. (crates/tinyagents-harness/src/turn_runner/types.rswhere)
Added — New turn-runner regression test module declared from `mod_tests.rs`: Registers the new sibling test module inside `mod_tests` so it compiles and runs with the existing turn-runner unit tests.

critique
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Lane summary: This adds a new test file with a deadlock-style test: a host that sends progress and then yields, and a sink whose `progress` waits on a notification the host fires after yielding, asserting the runner keeps polling the turn rather than blocking on the sink. The test's own scaffolding (a `SignalsAfterProgress` host, `WaitsForTheTurn` sink, and reused `request`/`Ingress`/`Replies`/`Failures`/`Summary` helpers from the sibling `mod_tests` module) is a plausible construction; nothing in the diff shows a compile or test-breaking problem, and I could not verify the runner's polling behaviour because the run loop itself was not provided. No reportable defects. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `92890331487a`), so retrieved context may be out of date._
security
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Positive: Lane answered with zero findings: the test module follows the repository's required sibling-test-file arrangement and resolves helpers through `use super::*;`; it noted the module declaration line lives in `mod_tests.rs`, which it treated as outside its scope, so no defect was raised.
Lane summary: The diff is a new sibling test file for turn_runner. The repository rules require exactly this arrangement (module-local unit tests in `<module>_tests.rs`, starting with `use super::*;`, no `#[cfg(test)]`), and the test resolves the runner helpers it uses — `Ingress`, `Replies`, `Failures`, `Summary`, `request` — through `use super::*;` as the existing sibling test files do. Note that the file is not yet declared in `turn_runner/mod.rs`, so it will not compile or run until a `#[path = "progress_delivery_tests.rs"] mod progress_delivery_tests;` line is added there; that line lives in a file outside this review's scope, so no finding is raised here. No security-relevant defects in this change. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `92890331487a`), so retrieved context may be out of date._
tests
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Positive: Lane answered with zero findings: the new test exercises the `delivering` branch and fails with a 10s timeout against the old inline await; the cancel/deadline paths in `deliver_within_turn` are not covered by the new test, but no concrete reachable misbehaviour is visible.
Lane summary: The change moves progress delivery off the inline `tokio::select!` and into a `delivering` branch of the loop, so the turn keeps being polled while a sink is handed an event; the new `progress_delivery_tests.rs` exercises exactly that with a sink that blocks until the turn advances, and it fails (10s timeout) against the old inline await. The cancel/deadline paths factored into `deliver_within_turn` are not exercised by the new test, but no concrete reachable misbehaviour is visible in the diff. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `92890331487a`), so retrieved context may be out of date._

description
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Positive: Lane found the new test file wired in correctly per the sibling-test-file convention, the helper names it relies on are already in the enclosing `mod_tests` scope, and the test would hang if the fix were reverted, making it a meaningful regression guard.
Lane summary: The new test file is wired in correctly — `#[path = "progress_delivery_tests.rs"] mod progress_delivery;` follows the repository's sibling-test-file convention, the file starts with `use super::*;` and carries no `#[cfg(test)]` of its own, and the drawing types it relies on (`Ingress`, `Replies`, `Events`, `Failures`, `Summary`, `request`, `EventSink`, `TurnHost`, `RunQueue`) are all names the enclosing `mod_tests` scope already uses. The test exercises the introduced delivery loop and would hang if the fix were reverted, so it is a meaningful regression guard rather than a restatement. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `92890331487a`), so retrieved context may be out of date._

Walkthrough
The turn runner now delivers progress events concurrently with host polling. It allows one delivery at a time and handles cancellation and deadlines during delivery. Before returning the run result, it completes pending and queued progress deliveries. A regression test covers host polling during delivery.

Drop pending progress delivery before cancellation cleanup
If a pending progress sink holds a resource that host.cancel_children also needs, cancelling the turn or reaching its wall-clock deadline now deadlocks cleanup. This branch only borrows the future from delivering, so selecting cancellation or the deadline leaves the underlying delivery alive but unpolled while those handlers await cancel_children. Previously, the inline select! owned and dropped the delivery before entering its cancellation handler. Drop the in-flight delivery before awaiting cancellation/deadline cleanup, including the deadline check above the select.
After this yield, run_guarded polls run before the stored delivery. The host therefore finishes and sends the notification before the sink starts. The test can pass without exercising host polling while delivery is pending.
Add a second notification. Have the sink signal that delivery has started, then have the host await that signal before calling polled_again.notify_one(). Keep the timeout and terminal assertion. This directly covers the new in-flight delivery path.
