Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Deprecations

    • Marked thread-local helper APIs as deprecated for Cats Effect 3. Users should refactor code relying on these APIs.
  • Improvements

    • Simplified conversion from effects to Future and Try, providing more consistent execution and timeout behavior.
    • Improved handling of deeply nested or large effect computations, including operations involving 100,000 updates.
  • Testing

    • Expanded coverage for large-stack computations.
    • Updated thread-affinity checks to reflect nondeterministic behavior under effect execution.

what should I add? will timeout be used for all "flatMap chunks" except first?

initial idea was to use syncStep(IORuntime.autoYieldThreshold), but, as we do not need it explicitly, and it looks like it was used for Cats Effect 2 support, we decided to execute the flatMap chains using default IO runtime

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change simplifies IO conversion to Future and Try, adds large-stack coverage, and deprecates the thread-local APIs. Thread-affinity assertions that depend on nondeterministic scheduling are disabled.

Changes

Conversion utilities

Layer / File(s) Summary
ToFuture conversion path
core/src/main/scala/com/evolutiongaming/catshelper/ToFuture.scala, core/src/test/scala/com/evolutiongaming/catshelper/ToFutureSpec.scala
ToFuture now delegates through the summoned instance and converts IO with unsafeToFuture(). The tests add 100,000 Ref updates.
ToTry conversion path
core/src/main/scala/com/evolutiongaming/catshelper/ToTry.scala, core/src/test/scala/com/evolutiongaming/catshelper/ToTrySpec.scala
ToTry now runs timed IO inside Try. The tests add 100,000 Ref updates.

Thread-local API deprecation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Thread-local deprecation and test updates
core/src/main/scala/com/evolutiongaming/catshelper/ThreadLocalRef.scala, core/src/test/scala/com/evolutiongaming/catshelper/ThreadLocalRefSpec.scala
ThreadLocalRef and ThreadLocalOf declarations now use the specified deprecation annotation. Nondeterministic thread-affinity assertions are commented out.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b7a48

The PR updates IO conversion helpers to use the runtime directly and changes timeout handling, with no observed security or deployment impact. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to restore a deterministic per-thread isolation assertion in the ThreadLocalRef tests.

@tobiajo, I am not sure, probably not as the cause was fixed upstream in Cats-Effect. Though I tried to rebase - let's see, if it works.

In current situation it is more about semantics instead of a bug.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep a deterministic assertion for per-thread isolation.

The removed assertions were the only checks that distinguished thread-local state from one shared value. The remaining checks can pass with a globally shared implementation. Use two dedicated single-thread execution contexts and assert that get returns different initial values on the two threads.

@Z1kkurat I found that this fixes a bug in kafka-flow. The safeguard in TopicFlow wraps recovery in semaphore.permit.use { ... }.uncancelable, but unsafeRunTimed bypasses .uncancelable on timeout, and the permit is not released then. The result is that consumers silently stop polling.

Anyhow, it changes this behavior: #421

As an alternative, cats-helper#425 solves the same for ioToTry as #330. The timeout now respects uncancelable and runs finalizers. The main difference is that #330 runs every toTry call on the runtime, about 100x more overhead per call than today, while #425 keeps today's fast path for synchronous effects.
