Summary

Closes #10548

This implements the concrete control-plane slice of #5757:

  • accepted connections are admitted through an actor-owned bounded async pool (32 active / 64 queued) instead of one detached NSThread per connection;
  • socket reads and writes use cancellable DispatchSource-backed async transport, preserving per-connection FIFO while main-actor mutations suspend rather than blocking I/O threads;
  • topology/read-heavy v2 results are published as immutable typed snapshots and served lock-free from socket workers;
  • polling commands receive per-connection token-bucket backpressure;
  • EOF, revocation, timeout, and writable-backpressure paths cancel their sources so dead descriptors cannot spin.

The existing synchronous in-process handleSocketLine path remains for app-internal callers; socket traffic uses the async dispatcher and keeps the focus-policy stack and response ordering semantics.

Tests and validation

  • swift build --package-path Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket
  • focused Swift Testing suites for bounded admission, snapshot publication/concurrent readers, polling backpressure, async framing/revocation/write/timeout
  • python3 scripts/swift_warning_budget.py --log /tmp/cmux-final-build.log
  • python3 scripts/check-package-resolved-policy.py
  • ./scripts/check-pbxproj.sh
  • python3 scripts/normalize-pbxproj.py --check cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

The full standalone package suite reaches 396 tests on this checkout; an existing MobileTaskModelDiscovery fixture currently fails because it supplies a bare opencode/dynamic-* line while the parser requires the documented JSON record. No app/Xcode build or UI test was run locally per issue instructions.

Scope notes

No user-facing UI strings or localization catalogs changed. The workspace package-group file was regenerated by the repository checker to include the already-present CmuxPhonePush package.

Summary by cubic

Moves control-socket connections and I/O off the main actor to reduce contention and prevent kqueue spin. Old: one thread per connection that could block the main actor; new: a bounded async pool (32 concurrent / 64 queued) with cancellable DispatchSource transport preserves per-connection FIFO.

  • Adds ControlClientWorkerPool and ControlClientAsyncLineReader; cancels sources on EOF/error/revocation and explicitly captures the socket server to avoid lifecycle bugs.
  • Serves read-heavy methods from immutable snapshots via ControlReadSnapshotStore; snapshots expire to avoid stale responses and fall back to live when missing; exposes a coalesced snapshot refresh task.
  • Introduces per-connection token-bucket backpressure for polling; mutations and probes bypass limits.
  • Keeps the in-process synchronous handleSocketLine path and response-order semantics unchanged.
  • Makes SocketAuthorizationRevocationSignal.revoke and SocketTransport.configureBlocking public; introduces CmuxControlSocketAtomicsC for macOS 14-compatible atomics.
  • Removes unreachable mobile artifact error cases to simplify error handling; no user-visible change.

Written for commit 2685df9. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The control socket now uses asynchronous non-blocking transport and a bounded worker pool. Read-plane responses use immutable published snapshots with atomic storage. Polling commands use per-connection token-bucket limits. TerminalController integrates authentication, dispatch, snapshot refresh, and asynchronous response handling. Mobile artifact transfer errors use direct localized responses.

Changes

Control-socket asynchronous execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Atomic snapshot foundation
Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Package.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocketAtomicsC/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlReadSnapshotStore.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Wire/ControlCommandExecutionPolicy+ReadPlane.swift
The package adds C11 atomic storage. ControlReadSnapshotStore publishes immutable snapshots, tracks generations, supports canonical response keys, and enforces optional freshness limits.
Async connection primitives
Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlClientAsyncTransport.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlClientWorkerPool.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlClientRateLimiter.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Transport/SocketTransport+ClientSocket.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/SocketAuthorizationRevocationSignal.swift
The server adds bounded FIFO job admission, asynchronous line I/O, cancellation and timeout handling, polling admission decisions, and public socket lifecycle helpers.
Terminal controller integration
Sources/TerminalController.swift, Sources/TerminalController+ControlSocketAsync.swift, Sources/TerminalController+ControlReadSnapshots.swift
TerminalController replaces detached client threads with asynchronous worker jobs, routes read and polling commands through snapshots and limits, performs asynchronous main-actor hops, and refreshes snapshots after topology changes.
Validation and build wiring
Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Tests/CmuxControlSocketTests/*, Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/README.md, cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
Tests cover transport, pool limits, rate limiting, snapshot publication, method classification, and concurrent access. Documentation and Xcode project entries include the new components.

Mobile transfer error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Direct artifact transfer errors
Sources/TerminalController+MobileSurfaces.swift
Permission, non-regular-file, and read-failure cases now use direct localized error responses instead of the removed helper calls.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 2685d

Moving control-socket work off the main actor improves responsiveness, but the current implementation still risks leaking authorization state between connections, starving socket handling, mishandling descriptors, and returning stale or incorrect control data; these issues should be fixed before merge.

Pre-merge checks failed

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Cmux Swift Blocking Runtime ❌ Error The production async transport adds Task.sleep for authorization deadlines and a DispatchSourceTimer for socket receive timeouts; the rule flags production sleeps and timers by default. Replace Task.sleep and the ad hoc runtime timer with a cancellation-aware event or approved scheduler abstraction, and document the real completion signal.
Cmux Algorithmic Complexity ❌ Error The new socket fallback caches each parameterized read at ControlReadSnapshotStore.swift:231, copying all existing entries on every publish; with 1000 workspace IDs this becomes O(m²), with no boun... Use a bounded per-method cache or retain only the fixed no-parameter snapshot entries, and add a size/scale benchmark for parameterized reads.
Cmux Swift Concurrency ❌ Error New ControlSocketAsync.swift launches unowned MainActor Tasks at two request paths to schedule global snapshot refreshes; neither Task is stored or cancellable. Replace each fire-and-forget Task with an awaited MainActor hop, such as await v2MainAsync { self.scheduleSocketReadSnapshotRefresh() }, or store and cancel the task.
Cmux Swift @Concurrent ❌ Error The new socket path adds bare nonisolated async handlers and parsing work, including processSocketLineAsync and v2SystemTopAsync, with no @concurrent despite the explicit off-main design. Add compiler-compatible @concurrent annotations to the new nonisolated async socket work, while retaining explicit MainActor.run hops for UI-bound mutations.
Cmux Full Internationalization ❌ Error New production socket responses use literal English Polling rate limited for this connection without a localization API; no catalog changed and no matching socket rate-limit key exists. Route the rate-limit message through String(localized:defaultValue:) and add its matching Resources/Localizable.xcstrings entry with translations for all supported locales.
Cmux Architecture Rethink ❌ Error New withSocketCommandPolicyAsync writes the Thread.current.threadDictionary stack, then awaits; async resumption can use another executor, so focus policy can be lost or leak. Make an immutable SocketCommandPolicyContext the single source of truth and pass it through async calls (or use TaskLocal); remove thread-local writes from the async path.
Cmux No Ambient Global State ❌ Error The PR adds empty private struct CanonicalJSON at ControlReadSnapshotStore.swift:63, used only as a static string/escape namespace at lines 64 and 87. Remove CanonicalJSON; use private/fileprivate pure file-scope helpers for canonicalization, or make the behavior owned by ControlReadSnapshot and called by its key API.

P1 system.top snapshots never refresh

When a client repeats system.top with identical parameters, this branch returns the result cached by the first request instead of capturing current process state, causing process lists, resource values, and window annotations to remain frozen until an unrelated full snapshot publication discards the entry.

Addressed in 82da670: volatile entries now carry per-entry monotonic publication timestamps. system.top hits expire after 500 ms (system.memory 2 s, surface.read_text 100 ms), so repeated polls refresh off-main rather than remaining cached indefinitely; focused expiry coverage is included.

In
`@Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlClientAsyncTransport.swift`:
- Around line 128-147: Consolidate preauthorization deadline handling in the
existing reader-owned DispatchSourceTimer instead of creating a Task.sleep in
the deadlineTask block. Remove the redundant deadlineTask and limitsActive
state, and retain a single timer-driven deadline path while preserving
nextLine’s timeout behavior and cancellation semantics.

In
`@Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlClientRateLimiter.swift`:
- Around line 66-84: Update refill() in ControlClientRateLimiter so that after
granting tokens for completed refill intervals, lastRefillNanoseconds advances
only by the consumed whole intervals rather than being set to the current
timestamp; preserve the elapsed sub-interval remainder for subsequent refills.

In
`@Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlClientWorkerPool.swift`:
- Around line 124-136: Update the pending-job flow around
ControlClientWorkerPool to record each job’s enqueue time and enforce a bounded
queue wait; when a job exceeds that deadline, remove it from pendingJobs, invoke
its onDrop() callback, and close the client connection. Preserve normal
admission for jobs within the wait limit and ensure the cleanup remains safe
during stop().

In
`@Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlReadSnapshotStore.swift`:
- Around line 223-242: Bound the snapshot entries managed by publishResponse:
remove entries older than the largest configured freshness window during
publication, then enforce a documented maximum entry count by evicting the
oldest entries when necessary. Keep the existing generation and publication
behavior, and ensure the retention and count limits prevent unbounded dictionary
growth and copy costs.
- Around line 16-17: Update the publication logic in the store’s publish and
publishResponse methods to assign or validate generation atomically, preventing
a refresh value based on a stale read from regressing a newer worker-published
generation. Preserve monotonicity so generation never decreases and newer
responses cannot be overwritten.
- Around line 63-85: Update CanonicalJSON.string to emit distinct stable
prefixes for the .int, .double, and .decimal cases so numerically equivalent
values cannot share snapshot keys, while preserving existing encoding for other
JSONValue cases. Add a regression test covering publication and lookup with
differently typed numeric parameters through ControlReadSnapshotStore.

In
`@Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/SocketAuthorizationRevocationSignal.swift`:
- Line 36: Make the descriptor exchange in revoke() atomic by guarding
writeFileDescriptor with OSAllocatedUnfairLock or an equivalent atomic exchange,
ensuring only one caller obtains and closes the active descriptor while others
observe the revoked state; keep deinit’s revoke() behavior intact.

In

- Around line 62-68: Update the documentation for configureBlocking(_:) to state
that it serves both the legacy long-lived event-stream bridge and
configureAcceptedClientSocket(_:) for accepted clients, while retaining its
purpose of restoring blocking mode.

In
`@Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Wire/ControlCommandExecutionPolicy`+ReadPlane.swift:
- Around line 7-22: Update readSnapshotMethods and
snapshotMaximumAgeNanoseconds(for:) so every entry in readSnapshotMethods has an

lines 10-14, retain memory_order_seq_cst and add documentation that acquire
ordering is insufficient, or rename CmuxControlSocketAtomicPointerLoadAcquire to
remove the misleading Acquire suffix; in
Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Sources/CmuxControlSocket/Server/ControlReadSnapshotStore.swift
lines 98-177, extend the ControlReadSnapshotStore type documentation to state
that reader-count and published-pointer operations must share one sequentially
consistent order.

In
`@Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket/Tests/CmuxControlSocketTests/ControlPlaneConcurrencyTests.swift`:
- Around line 103-130: Replace the three polling loops in
ControlPlaneConcurrencyTests with completion-signal awaits. Extend PoolProbe
with awaitStarted and awaitCompleted methods backed by stored continuations, and
resume matching waiters from started() and finished(_:). Update the test to
await the specific started or completed counts before asserting metrics or
opening the next gate.

In `@Sources/TerminalController.swift`:
- Around line 520-536: Ensure the block-based observers stored in
socketReadSnapshotObservers are explicitly removed during TerminalController
teardown, such as from deinit, using NotificationCenter’s removeObserver for
each token; if TerminalController is intentionally process-lifetime, document
that invariant instead.
- Around line 1771-1790: Move the handleEventsStreamRequest path out of
ControlClientWorkerPool so its blocking CmuxEventSubscription.next(timeout:)
loop runs in a dedicated legacy stream task or thread and cannot consume the
worker pool. Before invoking the loop, call
SocketTransport.configureBlocking(_:) for the socket so writeAll can apply
blocking backpressure rather than terminating on EAGAIN. Preserve the existing
authorization and connection-admission behavior.

In `@Sources/TerminalController`+ControlReadSnapshots.swift:
- Around line 21-49: Update publishSocketReadSnapshot() and the
workspaceCurrentDirectoryDidChange/workspaceTitleDidChange refresh path to avoid
rebuilding all eleven read payloads for a single workspace notification. Track
only affected snapshot methods and rebuild those entries, or apply a bounded
debounce that coalesces bursts, while preserving snapshot generation and
existing responses for unrelated topology changes.

In `@Sources/TerminalController`+ControlSocketAsync.swift:
- Around line 112-136: In Sources/TerminalController+ControlSocketAsync.swift
lines 112-136, extend the bounded maximumAgeNanoseconds freshness check to
topology methods so expired snapshots fall back to the authoritative main-actor
read. In Sources/TerminalController+ControlReadSnapshots.swift lines 11-19,
update the snapshot publication flow around publishSocketReadSnapshot() to track
a pending refresh and publish again when a notification arrives during an
in-progress publication.
- Around line 294-329: Replace the threadDictionary-based focus-allowance
handling in withSocketCommandPolicyAsync and
currentSocketCommandFocusAllowanceStack with `@TaskLocal` task-scoped state that
survives await and propagates to child tasks. Scope the appended allowance only
around body execution, and update v2MainAsync to capture and explicitly forward
the task-local stack to the MainActor without relying on the resuming thread.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consolidate the preauthorization deadline onto one owner.

The deadline is now represented three times: deadlineUptimeNanoseconds (polled in nextLine), deadlineTask (a Task.sleep that finishes the stream), and limitsActive (a lock that gates the task). The reader already owns a DispatchSourceTimer for idle deadlines. Schedule the preauthorization deadline on that same timer source. That removes the Task.sleep, the extra lock, and the third copy of the deadline state.

As per coding guidelines: "In non-test Swift application and runtime code, flag Thread.sleep, usleep, sleep, Task.sleep, DispatchQueue.asyncAfter, timers, and polling loops used for synchronization, retry backoff, keepalives, readiness waits, or delayed coordination."

Refill discards the sub-interval remainder.

refill sets lastRefillNanoseconds = current after granting elapsed / refillIntervalNanoseconds tokens. The leftover elapsed % refillIntervalNanoseconds is dropped, so the bucket refills slightly slower than the configured rate under sustained polling. Advance the timestamp by the consumed whole intervals instead.

♻️ Proposed fix
         guard elapsed >= configuration.refillIntervalNanoseconds else { return }
-        let additions = Int(elapsed / configuration.refillIntervalNanoseconds)
+        let wholeIntervals = elapsed / configuration.refillIntervalNanoseconds
+        let additions = Int(clamping: wholeIntervals)
         tokens = min(configuration.burst, tokens + additions)
-        lastRefillNanoseconds = current
+        lastRefillNanoseconds = lastRefillNanoseconds
+            &+ (wholeIntervals &* configuration.refillIntervalNanoseconds)

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Queued jobs keep their descriptor open with no admission deadline.

A job can wait in pendingJobs indefinitely while 32 long-lived connections hold every slot. The queued client sees no response and no error, and its descriptor stays open until the peer gives up. The bound of 64 caps the leak, so this is not a resource exhaustion risk, but consider recording the enqueue time and dropping jobs that exceed a bounded wait so the client receives a fast close instead of an unbounded stall.

Preserve monotonicity across publish and publishResponse. The refresh path reads generation and publishes the increment later, while socket workers can call publishResponse between those operations. A worker can advance the store to G + 2 before the refresh publishes stale G + 1, which regresses generation and can overwrite newer responses. Make publication assign or validate the generation atomically.

Apple Foundation JSONSerialization jsonObject number NSDecimalNumber exact decimal representation NSNumber

💡 Result:

The Foundation class JSONSerialization does not guarantee a specific numeric type when deserializing JSON numbers, and you cannot rely on it to produce an NSDecimalNumber for every input [1]. When JSONSerialization parses a numeric value from JSON, it attempts to represent the number using the most appropriate underlying type, typically by checking if the value fits into standard integer or floating-point types [1][2][3]. The internal logic generally follows this hierarchy: 1. Integer Types: It first attempts to parse the number as an Int64 or UInt64 if it has no decimal or exponent components and fits within those ranges [2][3]. 2. NSDecimalNumber: It may return an NSDecimalNumber if the number has more than 17 digits, an exponent between -128 and 127, and can be successfully initialized as a Decimal [2][3]. This is an implementation detail that can change and is not a guaranteed behavior for all decimal numbers [1][2]. 3. Double: If the number does not fit the above criteria, it typically falls back to a standard Double [2][3]. Because JSONSerialization does not know the intended type of the number during deserialization, it chooses a representation based on the string format of the JSON number [4]. Consequently, using JSONSerialization to preserve exact decimal precision is unreliable [1]. If you require exact decimal representation (e.g., for financial data), you should not assume the output will be an NSDecimalNumber [1]. To ensure precision, a common practice is to serialize decimal numbers as strings in your JSON [1]. Alternatively, if you receive a number as an NSNumber, you can attempt to convert it using [NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithDecimal:[number decimalValue]], but be aware that if the original JSON was parsed into a Double, the precision may have already been lost before the conversion occurs [1][4].

NSDecimalNumber description trailing zeros JSONSerialization parses decimal JSON number NSDecimalNumber

💡 Result:

When working with NSDecimalNumber and JSONSerialization, it is important to understand that JSONSerialization does not have a native, consistent mapping for decimal types, and NSDecimalNumber's string representation behavior often complicates data interchange [1][2][3]. NSDecimalNumber Description and Trailing Zeros The description method of NSDecimalNumber (and its parent class NSNumber) is designed for general-purpose string representation and does not strictly preserve trailing zeros [2]. When you call description on an NSDecimalNumber, it often formats the output based on internal logic that may strip trailing zeros [2]. Because JSONSerialization relies on these underlying types when processing objects, you cannot assume that a trailing zero in an NSDecimalNumber object will be preserved when that object is serialized into a JSON string [1][4]. JSONSerialization Behavior JSONSerialization does not provide a type hint mechanism to distinguish between Double and Decimal during deserialization [5][3]. Its behavior is as follows: - Parsing Priority: JSONSerialization attempts to parse JSON numbers into the most efficient type available (e.g., integer types for whole numbers, then Double, and finally NSDecimalNumber for values exceeding double precision or specific criteria) [1][6][7]. - Precision Loss: Because it defaults to Double for most numbers, precision loss is common [1][8]. Even when NSDecimalNumber is used, the conversion process often happens through intermediate representations that may not maintain the exact trailing zero count you require [2][5]. Recommendations If maintaining exact precision and trailing zeros is critical for your application (e.g., for currency or high-precision financial data): 1. Use String Representation: The most reliable way to pass precise decimal values, including trailing zeros, through JSON is to encode them as strings (e.g., "10.50" instead of 10.5) [9]. 2. Custom Serialization: If you must use numeric JSON types, you may need to implement custom serialization logic (e.g., using NSDecimalNumberHandler to explicitly round and scale values before serialization) to ensure they are formatted as desired before they are processed by JSONSerialization [10][4]. 3. Avoid Double: Never convert high-precision decimals to a Double or float64 intermediate type, as this inherently causes precision loss before serialization even begins [8].

Make numeric JSONValue cases distinct in CanonicalJSON.

ControlRequestParser can preserve Foundation numbers as .int or .decimal, but CanonicalJSON.string maps .int(1) and .decimal("1") to the same key. The snapshot store uses this key for both publication and lookup, so one response can satisfy a request with different typed params. Prefix numeric values with stable case tags and add a regression test for this collision.

Store and remove the notification observers, or explain why they outlive the controller.

socketReadSnapshotObservers holds five block-based observers that the type never removes. Block-based observers registered with addObserver(forName:object:queue:using:) are retained by NotificationCenter until they are removed explicitly. Each block captures self weakly, so the controller can still deallocate, but the observer tokens and their blocks stay registered for the process lifetime and keep firing scheduleSocketReadSnapshotRefresh() on a nil self. If TerminalController is a process-lifetime singleton this is harmless; add a short comment stating that. Otherwise remove the tokens in deinit.

Run the legacy event stream outside ControlClientWorkerPool. handleEventsStreamRequest runs inline in one of 32 detached jobs and repeatedly blocks in CmuxEventSubscription.next(timeout:), so concurrent subscriptions can starve other socket and main-actor work. Also call SocketTransport.configureBlocking(_:) before the loop. ControlClientAsyncLineReader sets O_NONBLOCK, and SocketTransport.writeAll returns false on EAGAIN, which can terminate streams under backpressure.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Every topology notification rebuilds all eleven read payloads on the main actor.

publishSocketReadSnapshot() runs window.list, workspace.list, surface.list, pane.list, pane.surfaces, system.identify, and system.tree on each refresh. system.tree alone walks every window, workspace, pane, and surface. The refresh is triggered by workspaceCurrentDirectoryDidChange and workspaceTitleDidChange, which fire on ordinary shell activity such as each cd report. The cost per notification is therefore proportional to the full topology, on the main actor, for a signal that affects one workspace.

At the ~1000-workspace scale this project targets, a burst of pwd reports turns into repeated full-topology walks on the main thread. Consider marking only the affected methods dirty and rebuilding those entries, or debouncing the refresh with a bounded interval instead of rebuilding everything on the next actor turn.

As per coding guidelines: "Avoid repeated full scans, sorting, filtering, or per-item nested scans over scalable collections in production code, especially in UI, event-driven, backend, and persistence paths."

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Stale topology answers can persist indefinitely. The read snapshot is treated as authoritative for workspace, pane, and surface identity with no freshness bound, while invalidation is best-effort and can drop an update. Either failure alone produces a stale answer; together they make it permanent until an unrelated notification fires.

  • Sources/TerminalController+ControlSocketAsync.swift#L112-L136: apply a bounded maximumAgeNanoseconds to the topology methods as well, so an aged entry falls back to the authoritative main-actor read instead of being served forever.
  • Sources/TerminalController+ControlReadSnapshots.swift#L11-L19: track a pending-refresh flag so a notification that arrives while publishSocketReadSnapshot() is running triggers another publish instead of being coalesced away.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The focus-allowance stack is thread-local but now spans await.

withSocketCommandPolicyAsync pushes the allowance onto Thread.current.threadDictionary, awaits body(), and pops in a defer. Swift concurrency does not pin a task to a thread across a suspension point. The push and the pop can therefore run on different cooperative-pool threads. Three concrete failures follow:

  1. The pushing thread keeps a frame forever. A later socket command that resumes on that thread reads a stale true and is allowed to mutate in-app focus.
  2. The resuming thread pops a frame that a different connection pushed, so that other connection loses its allowance mid-command.
  3. v2MainAsync at Line 297 snapshots currentSocketCommandFocusAllowanceStack() from whichever thread resumed the caller, so the main actor can observe another connection's allowance.

The pool admits 32 concurrent connection tasks that share the cooperative-pool threads, so this interleaving is reachable under normal load, not only in tests. Focus allowance decides whether a socket command may steal window/workspace focus, so a wrong value is a user-visible correctness bug.

Carry the stack as task-scoped state instead of thread-scoped state. @TaskLocal follows the task across suspensions and across child tasks, and v2MainAsync can then forward the value explicitly.

142-144: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Tie snapshot refresh scheduling to an owned async operation.

The Task { @mainactor ... } calls are unstructured fire-and-forget work. Each command can enqueue a separate main-actor hop, and the socket task cannot await or cancel that hop. Use await MainActor.run { ... } at both sites, or store a controller-owned task if the refresh must outlive the command.

Proposed fix
-Task { `@MainActor` [weak self] in
-    self?.scheduleSocketReadSnapshotRefresh()
-}
+await MainActor.run { [weak self] in
+    self?.scheduleSocketReadSnapshotRefresh()
+}
