fix: stop dropping tokio runtimes inside the async context - #211
Conversation
Three sites, all in the released binary, all the same panic: Cannot drop a runtime in a context where blocking is not allowed. **Shutdown.** `Gateway::load` builds a NATS publisher, a Kafka publisher and an LDAP client whatever the artifact contains, each carrying its own runtime for the synchronous calls WASM host functions make. Letting the gateway fall out of scope at the end of `run_serve` dropped all three inside the runtime. Every clean shutdown exited 101, which is how a supervisor decides a process crashed, so restart backoff, crash-loop counters and alerts fired on an ordinary stop. The drop moves to a plain thread, which has no async context. **Startup failure.** The same drop on every early return after the artifact loads: an invalid address, a taken port, an unreadable TLS config, a bad admin bind. The real cause was printed and then buried under a panic, and a configuration error and a crash became indistinguishable by exit code. **Compiling a URL-sourced plugin.** `reqwest::blocking` refuses to run inside a runtime on construction and on every request, so a manifest with a remote plugin could not be compiled at all from a dev-profile build. The download runs on a scoped thread, which can still borrow the URL. The lifecycle test spawns the binary, signals it and reads the exit code, which nothing did before: every other test drives the gateway in-process, which is exactly why this shipped. It fails against the old code with the panic in stderr. Closes #208.

Keep the profile directory in gateway_binary.
Cargo places integration-test executables under target/<profile>/deps. The two pop() calls therefore produce target/barbacane, while the gateway binary is under target/<profile>/barbacane. Both lifecycle tests return before exercising the gateway when that path does not exist. No repository configuration places the binary at target/barbacane.

Join gateway-owning tasks before final teardown.
SharedGateway is Arc<ArcSwap<Gateway>>. The MCP eviction task and hot-reload tasks capture SharedGateway clones, but run_serve does not retain or join their handles. Shutdown only signals these tasks.
If one task still holds its clone when drop_off_runtime(gateway) drops the local clone, that task can later drop the final SharedGateway on a Tokio worker. This can drop the Gateway and its runtime-owning resources in the async context.
Retain and join these tasks, or otherwise release their clones while the local gateway remains alive, before calling drop_off_runtime.

Moving the gateway's drop off the runtime fixed the shutdown path only because of ordering. `SharedGateway` is an `Arc` that the MCP eviction and hot-reload tasks clone, and neither is joined, so either could hold the last reference and drop it on a worker thread after the local one is gone. The panic would have come back, rarely, which is worse than reliably. Fixed where the runtimes live instead of where they happen to be dropped. `NatsPublisher`, `KafkaPublisher` and `LdapClient` now hand theirs to `shutdown_background` rather than waiting for workers to stop, so the last reference is safe to fall anywhere. The tests drop one inside `block_on` and inside a spawned task, and both fail with the original panic if the plain drop is restored. The download path gains the regression test it lacked: the lifecycle test uses a local plugin path, so nothing reached `download_plugin`. Calling it from inside a runtime and from a spawned task must return an error rather than take the process down. Both fail without the scoped thread.

Two of the three fixed in 946c759; declining the first, with evidence. Join gateway-owning tasks before final teardown (Major) — correct, and fixed at a better level than suggested. Rather than retain and join the handles, I fixed it where the runtimes live. Tests drop one inside Add a regression test for a real HTTPS plugin download — correct, that gap was real. The lifecycle test builds its fixture from a local plugin path, so nothing reached Added two tests that call it from inside a runtime and from a spawned task, against a I chose an unreachable host over a real download deliberately: the bug was reqwest refusing to run inside a runtime at all, which reproduces before any byte moves, and a test that needs the network would be flaky for no extra signal.

Review asked whether a background task holding the gateway could drop it on a runtime thread after `drop_off_runtime` has released the local reference. It can, and that is safe because each runtime-owning client shuts its runtime down in the background rather than waiting for it. Only `NatsPublisher` proved that; the same two tests now cover `KafkaPublisher` and `LdapClient`. Removing the `shutdown_background` call turns all six red, so they assert the invariant rather than describing it. `gateway_binary` resolves the same path it always did. The comments labelled the two `pop()` calls by the directory each left behind, which reads as though the file name is never removed; they now say what each call drops. The lifecycle tests no longer skip in silence. A missing binary or an unbuildable fixture returned early, which `cargo test` renders as a pass with the reason hidden in captured output. `build_artifact` returns the reason and both tests fail with it, matching every other test in the crate, which already refuses to run without the binary.

Closes #208. Three sites, all in the released binary, all the same panic.
Shutdown, the one that mattered
barbacane servepanicked on every graceful shutdown and exited 101:The drain was correct; only the exit code lied about it. That is how a supervisor decides a process crashed, so under Kubernetes, compose or systemd every clean stop produced restart backoff, crash-loop counters and alerts.
Cause.
Gateway::loadbuilds a NATS publisher, a Kafka publisher and an LDAP client whatever the artifact contains, each carrying its own tokio runtime for the synchronous calls WASM host functions make. A mock-only artifact still carried three. Letting the gateway fall out of scope at the end ofrun_servedropped all three inside the runtime.Worth noting separately: three unused runtimes per process is also waste, and making them lazy is a reasonable follow-up. This change fixes the panic without changing when they are built.
Startup failure
The same drop on every early return after the artifact loads: an invalid address, a taken port, an unreadable TLS config, a bad admin bind. The real cause was printed and then buried under a panic, and a configuration error became indistinguishable from a crash by exit code.
Compiling a URL-sourced plugin
reqwest::blockingrefuses to run inside a tokio runtime, both on construction and on every request, andcompileruns inside one. A manifest with a remote plugin could not be compiled at all from a dev-profile build. The download runs on a scoped thread, which can still borrow the URL.I found this one twice over: my first attempt kept the client in a
OnceLockto avoid dropping it, and the panic simply moved to construction; the second moved construction off-runtime, and it moved toexecute_request. Only taking the whole call off the runtime works.Verified
The test that should have existed
process_lifecyclespawns the binary, waits for it to serve, sends SIGTERM and asserts a clean exit; a second test holds a port and asserts the cause is reported without a panic.Nothing did this before. Every other test drives the gateway in-process, which is exactly why this shipped. The test fails against the old code with the panic in stderr, so it is not vacuous.
