Root cause: test_full_live_workflow in batch context (with prior sims
running AI discussion turns) would queue its _do_project_switch behind
the auto-pruner's scan of tests/logs/ (154MB, 6519 files). The 4-worker
pool was saturated, so the switch would never run within 30s.
Fix: bump IO_POOL_MAX_WORKERS from 4 to 8. This gives the pool enough
capacity to run: 2 pruners + the project switch + 5 spare.
Also: add /api/io_pool_status endpoint + get_io_pool_status +
wait_io_pool_idle helpers (kept in api_hooks.py and api_hook_client.py
for the test_api_hook_client_io_pool.py tests, even though the test
itself no longer uses them - they remain useful for future tests that
want to assert pool state directly).
Also: add wait_for_warmup at the start of test_full_live_workflow to
ensure SDK modules are loaded before AI ops.
Test verification:
- test_full_live_workflow in isolation: 11.83s PASS
- test_full_live_workflow in batch (with 4 prior sims): 83.46s PASS
- 30/30 related unit tests PASS
Phase 2 Tasks T2.1-T2.4 of the startup_speedup_20260606 track.
NEW: src/io_pool.py
make_io_pool() factory: 4-worker ThreadPoolExecutor with
thread_name_prefix='controller-io'. The sanctioned way for any
background work. Replaces ad-hoc threading.Thread() calls per
the 'no new threads' rule.
NEW: src/warmup.py
WarmupManager: manages a list of modules to import on the shared
pool. Public API:
.submit(modules) - start warmup (call once)
.status() - {pending, completed, failed}
.is_done() - bool
.wait(timeout) - block until done
.on_complete(callback) - register completion callback
.reset() - clear state
Thread-safe (lock-guarded). 10 tests cover all paths.
NEW: tests/test_io_pool.py (4 tests):
- ThreadPoolExecutor returned
- 4 workers
- Threads named 'controller-io-*'
- Jobs run in parallel (barrier test)
NEW: tests/test_warmup.py (10 tests):
- One job per module submitted
- Initial pending list correct
- Failed imports tracked
- Done event set after all complete
- wait() blocks until done
- on_complete callback fires (and immediately if already done)
- Modules actually end up in sys.modules
- reset() clears state
- Jobs run concurrently (not serially)
All 14 tests pass. AppController integration is the next commit.
