# Iteration 11 — fibers (green threads on the shard scheduler)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Format: `product/story-iteration-template`. Part of
|
||||||
|
> [Story — one language, one runtime, one database, one binary](00-story.md).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Goals
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Concurrency **inside** a shard the doctrine way: cooperative fibers
|
||||||
|
scheduled by the VM — a fiber is the interpreter state wovm already
|
||||||
|
isolates (register windows + frame stack + pc), made per-fiber. One
|
||||||
|
kernel task per core stays the rule; thousands of fibers run above it
|
||||||
|
where the kernel tops out at hundreds of threads (CFS O(log N),
|
||||||
|
~8 MiB + ~20 µs per thread vs an arena-allocated fiber context).
|
||||||
|
- **Preemption by reduction budget**, the Erlang shape: the dispatch loop
|
||||||
|
counts down and parks the fiber at zero — no signals, no safepoints, no
|
||||||
|
stack copying, deterministic replay.
|
||||||
|
- **Blocking builtins park instead of block** on server shards: the same
|
||||||
|
`net`/`time`/`fs` calls that block the thread in program mode hand their
|
||||||
|
fd to the shard's epoll/io_uring loop and resume on completion. One API,
|
||||||
|
same source text, no async/await, no function coloring — ever.
|
||||||
|
- Cross-fiber sends follow the iteration 8 rule — ownership moves — on the
|
||||||
|
cheaper same-heap path.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- What to achieve?
|
||||||
|
- **Given** a shard running thousands of spawned fibers with one hot
|
||||||
|
compute loop among them,
|
||||||
|
- **when** the reduction budget expires,
|
||||||
|
- **then** the hot fiber parks, every other fiber makes progress
|
||||||
|
(starvation-free corpus fixture), and output is identical across
|
||||||
|
runs (deterministic scheduling).
|
||||||
|
- What to achieve?
|
||||||
|
- **Given** a fiber blocked in a stdlib builtin on a server shard,
|
||||||
|
- **when** the completion arrives on the shard's event loop,
|
||||||
|
- **then** the fiber resumes with the result while the shard served
|
||||||
|
other fibers in the interim — one OS thread, verified by TID.
|
||||||
|
- What to achieve?
|
||||||
|
- **Given** a parked fiber at shard shutdown,
|
||||||
|
- **when** the shard unwinds it,
|
||||||
|
- **then** every drop map runs (ASan zero leaks) — parked fibers die
|
||||||
|
as cleanly as trapped ones. (Iteration 12's blue-green drain reuses
|
||||||
|
exactly this unwind path.)
|
||||||
|
- What to achieve?
|
||||||
|
- **Given** `@gc` objects referenced only from a parked fiber's frames,
|
||||||
|
- **when** the per-shard cycle collector scans,
|
||||||
|
- **then** fiber stacks are roots — nothing live is collected, nothing
|
||||||
|
dead survives.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Out Of Scope
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fiber migration across shards (ownership doctrine forbids it; cross-shard
|
||||||
|
is a message send, iteration 8).
|
||||||
|
- Priorities, timers, structured-concurrency policy — recipe-box
|
||||||
|
capabilities for a later `.wo` library, not runtime policy.
|
||||||
|
- Program mode: stays single-fiber in v1 (blocking legal, log-watcher
|
||||||
|
needs nothing more).
|
||||||
|
- async/await keyword — permanently rejected surface, not deferred.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Info
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Research note: [`docs/plan/exploration/fibers/00-fibers.md`](../../plan/exploration/fibers/00-fibers.md)
|
||||||
|
— kernel's-eye evidence (task_struct costs, CFS collapse at high task
|
||||||
|
counts) and the precedent survey (BEAM reductions adopted; Go stack
|
||||||
|
copying and Tokio coloring rejected; Loom's park-under-blocking-API
|
||||||
|
matches the stdlib posture).
|
||||||
|
- Vision origin: [blue-green vision §3](../../plan/exploration/blue-green-vm/00-vision.md);
|
||||||
|
iteration 8's scheduler is the substrate this extends.
|
||||||
|
- Open questions to settle in the spec: spawn surface (handle vs actor
|
||||||
|
address), budget size and check granularity, parked-fiber drop
|
||||||
|
semantics, run-queue fairness (FIFO v1).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Proposed Solution
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- No implementation plan exists yet — this iteration starts with the
|
||||||
|
brainstorming → spec → writing-plans chain (the superpowers path every
|
||||||
|
prior iteration followed), then executes that plan. The research note
|
||||||
|
above is the brainstorm's entry material.

# Iteration 12 — blue-green in-runtime deployment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Format: `product/story-iteration-template`. Part of
|
||||||
|
> [Story — one language, one runtime, one database, one binary](00-story.md).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Goals
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The story's closing promise: the running binary updates its own code.
|
||||||
|
Two fixed VM slots (activity alternating); a proposal pipeline —
|
||||||
|
propose → approve → in-runtime compile → additive schema migration →
|
||||||
|
load → health → atomic switch — with the previous version staying
|
||||||
|
resident as the instant rollback target.
|
||||||
|
- The developer drives it remotely: `wo remote pull / propose / diff /
|
||||||
|
approve / rollback / status` over a loopback management transport,
|
||||||
|
every stage streaming live and WAL-audited.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- What to achieve?
|
||||||
|
- **Given** a running fixture app and an additive code+schema change,
|
||||||
|
- **when** the developer proposes and approves it,
|
||||||
|
- **then** the deploy completes with zero dropped requests (in-flight
|
||||||
|
work — including parked fibers — drains on the old slot through
|
||||||
|
iteration 11's unwind path), and the binary's embedded source
|
||||||
|
trailer matches the new active version afterward.
|
||||||
|
- What to achieve?
|
||||||
|
- **Given** a failure at any pipeline stage (compile diagnostic,
|
||||||
|
destructive-change rejection, load failure, health failure, drain
|
||||||
|
timeout),
|
||||||
|
- **when** it occurs,
|
||||||
|
- **then** the active slot keeps serving untouched, the failure is
|
||||||
|
visible in the SSE stream and the WAL trail, and a destructive
|
||||||
|
change was rejected at propose time naming the offending
|
||||||
|
declaration.
|
||||||
|
- What to achieve?
|
||||||
|
- **Given** a completed deploy,
|
||||||
|
- **when** `wo remote rollback` runs,
|
||||||
|
- **then** the previous version serves again in under one second with
|
||||||
|
no compile and no data change — additive-only migration guarantees
|
||||||
|
old code runs correctly against the migrated schema.
|
||||||
|
- What to achieve?
|
||||||
|
- **Given** kill -9 during COMPILING / MIGRATING / SWITCHING /
|
||||||
|
trailer-rewrite,
|
||||||
|
- **when** the unit restarts,
|
||||||
|
- **then** it serves one consistent version and the WAL shows whole
|
||||||
|
migrations only.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Out Of Scope
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Script-based/destructive migrations, in-runtime editing workspace,
|
||||||
|
MCP/agent wrapper over the management plane — all recorded follow-ups.
|
||||||
|
- New scheduler work — fibers landed in iteration 11; this iteration's
|
||||||
|
drain unwinds parked fibers through 11's shutdown path, it does not
|
||||||
|
extend it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Info
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Approved spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-03-blue-green-vm-design.md`;
|
||||||
|
its implementation plan is deliberately authored only after iterations
|
||||||
|
9–10 ship (prerequisites: a catalog to diff, HTTP machinery to build on).
|
||||||
|
- VMs own code; the engine owns data — the separation that makes the
|
||||||
|
switch cheap and rollback unconditional.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Proposed Solution
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Author the implementation plan from the approved spec once iterations
|
||||||
|
9–10 land, then execute it (slots, deploy state machine, additive
|
||||||
|
differ, management surface + SSE, `wo remote` verbs, crash battery).
