register/whereis/unregister plus the inverse lookup name_of. Erlang
semantics: one name per pid, one pid per name, registering over a live
binding errors; same-binding re-register is an idempotent Ok.
Bimap = two HashMaps held in exact inverse under one Leaf RawMutex in
RuntimeInner; the invariant is debug-asserted on every mutation. The
inverse direction costs one extra String per binding and buys O(1)
pid->name for supervisors/tracing/diagnostics.
Cleanup is lazy: no finalize_actor hook, no Slot field (which would buy
into the reset-in-three-places invariant). Liveness rides the
generation-checked slot word - pids are never reused, so a stale binding
is detectable, never misdirected - and bindings to dead actors behave as
absent, pruned on contact by whereis/name_of/register/unregister.
Liveness checks under the registry lock read only the atomic slot word,
so the leaf rule holds trivially.
send_by_name is deliberately absent: smarm has no per-pid mailbox, so
there is nothing generic to send *to* - the registry yields a Pid,
usable with monitor/link/request_stop and as routing for user channels.
Tests: roundtrip both directions, idempotence, NameTaken on live holder,
one-name-per-pid, NoProc, death-evaporates-binding (via lookup pruning
and via register's own eviction path), unregister, cross-actor lookup
wired into request_stop, and a 4-scheduler name-contention churn test.
Phase 2 surfaced the hole this closes: channel guards were held with
preemption enabled, so a timeslice switch inside a channel critical
section could release the pthread mutex from a different OS thread (UB).
RawMutex disables preemption for the guard span and is
cross-thread-release sound by construction; poison goes away with it.
The strict single-class leaf rule cannot survive the migration: finalize
clones the supervisor/trap senders and monitor() clones the Down sender,
all under a cold lock, and those senders live in the slot - the nesting
is structural. The leaf check is therefore generalized to two classes:
Leaf (cold locks, free list, stack pool) and Channel. Order is
Leaf -> Channel, at most one of each; both directions of violation are
debug-asserted at the acquisition site. Channel critical sections call
only the lock-free unpark protocol, so the order is acyclic.
Tests: class-ordering unit tests in raw_mutex (allowed nesting + all
three rejected shapes), plus a multi-scheduler integration test driving
channels through monitor churn and actor death so any ordering
regression trips the debug assert instead of deadlocking.
