This is an automated cherry-pick of #2034

Fix #2033

RunLoop.Append could block indefinitely when racing with cancellation of a waiting RunLoop.Exec.

Append changes the state from StateWaiting to StateIdle under the mutex, then sends a notification through the
unbuffered ready channel after releasing the mutex. If Exec selected ctx.Done() and returned before receiving that
notification, the Append caller was left blocked. When invoked from an async batch response callback, this could stop
the batch receive loop from retiring the request and processing later responses on the same stream.

Changes:

• Make the cancellation path distinguish between a run loop that is still waiting and one for which an Append has
  already committed to sending a notification.
• Consume the committed notification before returning from Exec, ensuring the notifying Append can complete.
• Document the notification handshake and its single-Exec safety invariant.
• Add regression coverage for the cancellation race, queued-task preservation, and subsequent Exec behavior.
• Make the concurrent Exec test deterministic by synchronizing on the first executor entering StateRunning.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a race between canceling an operation and adding work, helping ensure cancellation returns promptly and queued work remains available for the next execution.
• Tests
  • Added coverage for cancellation and concurrent execution scenarios to verify expected behavior.

Walkthrough

Exec now handles cancellation while waiting without leaving a concurrent Append blocked on the ready notification. Tests cover this ordering and concurrent Exec calls.

Changes: RunLoop cancellation handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cancellation and notification handshake util/async/runloop.go	Exec resets StateWaiting if Append has not transitioned the state. If Append has transitioned it to StateIdle, Exec consumes the pending ready notification before returning the context error.
Regression and concurrency tests util/async/runloop_test.go	A repeated test checks that Append completes after cancellation and that its queued task runs on a subsequent Exec. The concurrent-execution test now uses channels to coordinate the task and collect the first Exec result.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the primary change: Append no longer blocks when an Exec is canceled. The raw summary confirms the fix in util/async/runloop.go, where cancellation during the waiting state consumes the committed notification, and the PR objectives describe the same blocking scenario. The title is specific, concise, and matches the changeset. The PR number reference (#2034) is the original issue number from the cherry-pick, which is acceptable context.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within the stated RunLoop cancellation-race scope. The implementation updates the notification handshake, and the tests cover the race, queued-task preservation, subsequent Exec behavior, and deterministic concurrent Exec coordination. No unrelated change is identified.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Synchronize cancellation selection in the regression test.

runtime.Gosched() does not prove that Exec entered the cancellation branch before Append sends on l.ready. If Exec selects l.ready, run(ctx) sees the canceled context before executing the queued task, so the test assertions still pass. The test can therefore pass without covering the new branch that consumes the committed notification.

Add explicit barriers for notification entry and cancellation-branch selection.
