Fastify drops one FFI context handle after every response. Its binaries did not initialize the node:http pump that previously owned quarantine draining, so completed handles remained quarantined. At 262,143 requests, register_handle exhausted the common ID band and aborted the server.

Move quarantine promotion to an outer-pump lifecycle hook and install it idempotently before the first FFI handle allocation. Thread-local depth keeps nested awaited-handler pump calls in the current tick. A process-wide active-pump count and serialized zero-to-one transition group overlapping platform callbacks into one logical tick, so no OS thread can promote handles while another pump is dispatching callbacks. Exception savepoints restore both the nested depth and the process-wide contribution after caught JS throws. The HTTP-local drain is removed because the lifecycle hook now covers every FFI handle user.

This is the focused extraction of the Fastify handle-recycling fix from #9998, whose broader release branch currently conflicts with main.

Validation:

  • cargo test --release -p perry-runtime stdlib_pump::tests --lib (8 passed)
  • cargo test --release -p perry-ext-fastify --lib (32 passed)
  • cargo test --release -p perry-ffi --lib (33 passed)
  • cargo check --release -p perry-ffi --features runtime-link
  • Release Fastify stress run: 350,000 requests, 0 incorrect responses, server remained alive after crossing the old 262,143-ID ceiling
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • python3 scripts/check_thread_locals.py

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved stability for long-running Fastify servers under sustained traffic, preventing resource exhaustion that could interrupt request handling.
    • Improved event-loop processing reliability when callbacks and promise handling are nested or re-entered.
    • Fixed exception recovery scenarios that could leave subsequent runtime processing in an inconsistent state.
  • Reliability

    • Improved cleanup timing across server and runtime event processing, supporting more consistent behavior during extended workloads.
    • Improved handle reuse across extensions during ongoing event-loop activity.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now drains quarantined handles at the start of each outer pump tick. It adds re-entrant pump-depth tracking and restores that state during exception unwinding. The HTTP pump no longer drains handles independently.

Changes

Handle recycling lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Outer pump tick lifecycle
crates/perry-runtime/src/lib.rs
The runtime tracks nested pump depth, runs registered tick-begin hooks only for outer ticks, and tests registration and lifecycle behavior.
Exception pump-depth restoration
crates/perry-runtime/src/exception.rs
Exception handlers save and restore pump depth during JS throw unwinding and test restoration paths.
FFI and HTTP handle recycling
crates/perry-ffi/src/event_pump.rs, crates/perry-ffi/src/handle.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/server/server.rs, changelog.d/10002-fastify-handle-recycling.md
The FFI event pump registers handle quarantine draining at tick begin. Handle creation ensures registration. The HTTP pump removes its independent drain call. The changelog records the handle recycling fix.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d7edb

FFI-only workloads may still fail after sustained handle allocation if quarantine recycling is not initialized. This should be resolved before merge.

Register the quarantine drain on FFI handle allocation.

register_aux_event_pump is the only perry-ffi path that registers js_register_aux_tick_begin, while reserve_handle_id and register_handle can allocate IDs without it. Without the tick hook, repeated allocate/free operations consume fresh IDs until reserve_handle_id returns INVALID_HANDLE or register_handle panics at FFI_HANDLE_ID_END. Add an idempotent perry-ffi registration path that runs before any ID allocation.

- Around line 661-663: Ensure platform background-task callbacks are dispatched
to the owning event-loop thread before invoking js_run_stdlib_pump, including
the iOS path where usingQueue is nil. Preserve the single outer-tick ordering so
run_aux_tick_begin_hooks cannot drain the process-wide quarantine concurrently
from another thread; do not rely on thread-local PUMP_DEPTH for this
synchronization.

Audit follow-up landed in #10003: actual allocation-only/outer-pump recycling
coverage, bounded overlap/restoration bookkeeping coverage, and the unfinished
HTTP comment repair. All6430 Rust tests and12 native Fastify checks passed;
post-merge main is exactly the validated tree. Full receipts are on #10003.

This is a follow-up to the already-landed #10002, not a duplicate of its merge.
