Chinesezjc 8f7d9121d1 fix(code-runtime-python): bound three child-side walks by depth, not width
Three separate paths in the CPython child allocated state proportional to a
value's width or a string's length, so a legitimate input the byte budgets
admit could die as the program's own MemoryError.

`_lossless_json_violation` enqueued one traversal tuple per member while
running, in `dispatch`, over MODEL-CONSTRUCTED binding arguments that no
child-side byte budget bounds first. It now uses the same (kind, container,
iterator) cursor the other two walks already had, checking dict keys as the
cursor pulls each entry. Measured over `[0] * 6_000_000` (~17 MB of JSON):
459.1 MiB of traversal tuples before, 0.0 MiB after.

`_decode_json_plain` matched JSON strings with a `(?:[^"\\]|\\.)*` repetition,
which makes CPython's engine retain backtracking state proportional to the
string's width: 146 MiB for a 1 MiB string, 557.8 MiB for 4 MiB. A legitimate
multi-megabyte binding reply raised MemoryError inside `_pump_replies`, and
because that pump is the only settler of the call's future, the run stranded
until the wall clock reported `timeout`. Strings now scan chunk-to-chunk over a
character class, which the engine matches without backtracking state; the same
4 MiB decode peaks at the 4.0 MiB result.

`_check_done_value` charged strings and dict keys what
`_dump_string(...).encode()` returned, building the escaped copy plus its
encode to MEASURE it -- ~6x the original each for control-heavy text, so
metering a value the budget then rejects could itself breach RLIMIT_AS and
report `exception` where the seam promises `output-limit`. The new
`_json_str_cost` counts instead, reusing `_json_string_cost`'s C-level passes
and reproducing `_dump_string`'s exact surrogate rules (fold spelled-out pairs,
charge six ASCII bytes per lone surrogate). Identical values, 228.9 MiB -> 19.1
MiB of peak on a 20M-NUL string.

Each fix ships a regression test. The two RLIMIT_AS repros are Linux-only:
Darwin does not apply the limit, so the peaks above are measured directly and
recorded in the test comments.

Package map for the code-execution capability family: what program execution does for you, and which package owns each part. package-group

code-runtime/ — code-execution capability family

English | 中文

Summary

The code-runtime/ group provides program execution: a model writes one program that calls host-provided functions as ordinary async calls, and a runtime executes it in isolation and returns only what the program printed and returned. One package defines the shared capability (ctx.codeRuntime), a second executes TypeScript programs in a fresh Node worker thread, and a third owns the wire protocol between a Node host and a CPython subprocess for the Python backend. Every run is independent — no state carries from one program to the next — and failures come back as part of the result, so the caller can see why a program failed and feed that back to the model.

Table of Contents


Packages

These three packages together provide program execution; each README describes what its part does.

Package Role ctx key
code-runtime/ Defines what a code runtime does: run one program against host-provided bindings and report what it printed and returned ctx.codeRuntime
code-runtime-worker-thread/ Executes TypeScript programs, each in a fresh Node worker thread registers ctx.codeRuntime
code-runtime-python/ Owns the fd-3 wire protocol between a Node host and a CPython subprocess, the Python backend's protocol layer

Start with the subsystem reference for the service contract, then the PTC mode design that consumes this capability and the capability-seam model it follows.
