Rip out the old name<->pid bimap; rebuild registry.rs as the live mailbox
directory. A name resolves to a SINGLE actor (many-per-label is pg's job); that
actor owns a SET of typed channels (channels are typed, so no single mailbox),
keyed by message TypeId. Resolution: name -> pid (one actor) -> Mailbox ->
channel for type M. Same name + different type parameter selects different
channels of the one actor, so capability separation (§4.7) needs no new type.
- register<M>(Name<M>, Sender<M>): captures the current actor's channel under a
name (one step, per decision). Adds channels cumulatively; NameTaken only vs a
different LIVE holder; stale/dangling bindings pruned on contact.
- send<M>(Name<M>, msg): the payoff — resolve, clone the Sender UNDER the Leaf
lock, release, then send (Leaf -> Channel; a send can unpark). Returns the msg
on Unresolved / NoChannel / Closed.
- whereis -> single live pid; unregister frees only the name (mailbox/other
names survive). name_of (reverse lookup) dropped — deferred to introspection.
- Contained erasure: each channel is Box<dyn Any+Send> filed under TypeId::of M
and downcast to its own keying type, so the downcast can't fail on good data
(debug-asserted via the stored type_name). Phantom M on Name re-imposes type.
- One Leaf RawMutex (the fold), so a name send stays on a single Leaf — two
Leaves at once is a hard panic. runtime.rs field/init unchanged (same Registry
name + new()).
tests/registry.rs rewritten for the new semantics: send-by-name delivery,
many typed channels on one actor, same-name/different-type routing, NameTaken,
takeover across slot reuse, Unresolved/NoChannel. Also fold in a Phase 1 fixup:
the phantom test key was an enum whose variants tripped dead-code under the test
build (only caught now that I run -D warnings on --tests). Full suite +
order-checker green, warning-free across all targets.
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.
