fix(daemon-pool): support Python 3.14 _worker signature change (#58596)

[nankingjing]

Summary

Python 3.14 changed _worker from 4 params to 3 params, replacing initializer/initargs with a WorkerContext. This caused DaemonThreadPoolExecutor._adjust_thread_count to crash with AttributeError: DaemonThreadPoolExecutor object has no attribute _initializer.

Fix

• Detect _worker signature at import time via inspect.signature
• Branch in _adjust_thread_count:
  • Python >= 3.14: pass self._create_worker_context() as the ctx arg
  • Python <= 3.13: pass self._initializer/self._initargs as before

Files changed

• tools/daemon_pool.py — add signature detection and version branch
• tests/tools/test_daemon_pool.py — 4 regression tests

Test results

tests/tools/test_daemon_pool.py ........    [100%]
============================== 8 passed in 0.98s ==============================

All 4 existing tests + 4 new regression tests pass on Python 3.11 (which exercises the <= 3.13 code path).

Closes #58596

Duplicate of #57459 (earlier open PR, created 2026-07-03). Both patch the same site -- DaemonThreadPoolExecutor._adjust_thread_count in tools/daemon_pool.py -- for the identical Python 3.14 crash (_initializer/_worker signature change). The mechanism difference (this PR's inspect.signature/_WORKER_USES_CTX branch vs #57459's getattr fallback) is minor and doesn't rescue the later PR; #57459 is the canonical (earliest open). #47634 / #50077 fix a different file (tools/async_delegation.py) and are related. Fixes #58596.

The arg-order handling is correct. I checked the CPython 3.14 source and _worker(executor_reference, ctx, work_queue) matches what you pass, and _create_worker_context is a genuine instance attribute set in ThreadPoolExecutor.__init__, so the call resolves. The <=3.13 branch is identical to the original tuple, so this is a clean no-op on the versions we currently ship. I ran tests/tools/test_daemon_pool.py in a clean Python 3.11 container matching CI: 8 passed.

Two things worth sorting before this lands, neither a bug in the diff itself.

First, pyproject.toml still pins requires-python = ">=3.11,<3.14", so a standard install will not even run on 3.14 and the fix is only reachable if you bypass that constraint. Do you want to bump the ceiling in this same PR so the fix is actually usable, or is the intent to hold off on 3.14 for now? That decision changes whether this should merge yet.

Second, the 3.14 path has no test coverage. CI provisions only 3.11, and each test here exercises whichever branch the running interpreter picks. I confirmed this directly: reverting daemon_pool.py to main makes the module fail to import (_WORKER_USES_CTX no longer exists) rather than fail a behavioral assertion, so on 3.11 the new tuple could be wrong and nothing would catch it. Could you add a test that patches _WORKER_USES_CTX = True and asserts the exact args tuple passed to the thread target, so the 3.14 branch is validated even when we run on 3.11? A 3.14 CI slice would be ideal, but the mocked test is the cheap floor.

Thanks for the thorough review, @AmirF194. Two responses:

1. Mocked test for 3.14 branch (done)

I've added test_py314_worker_args_when_ctx_mocked in [bb3f09e]. It patches _WORKER_USES_CTX=True, stubs _create_worker_context (which doesn't exist on 3.11) via create=True, and asserts the exact 3-tuple (executor_ref, ctx, work_queue) passed to _worker. This validates the 3.14 code path on any Python version, so CI running 3.11 still catches regressions in the branch that ships for 3.14 users. All 9 tests pass (5 existing + 4 regression = 9 total).

2. pyproject.toml ceiling: keep <3.14 for now

The <3.14 upper bound in requires-python is load-bearing, not cosmetic (see the comment at pyproject.toml lines 13-19). Rust-backed transitives like pydantic-core don't have cp314 wheels yet, so a >=3.11,<3.14 pin makes uv refuse 3.14 with a clear error instead of falling back to a maturin source build that fails. This PR's fix is a forward-facing safety net — harmless on current Python (the <=3.13 branch is identical to the original tuple) and ready to work the moment we raise the ceiling when cp314 wheels ship. Bumping the ceiling should be its own intentional PR (test 3.14 in CI, verify all Rust transitives have wheels, etc.), not a side effect of this bug fix.

Fair flag — this does overlap #57459 (@gysyl), same call site in `_adjust_thread_count`. One substantive difference for whoever consolidates: the two fixes are not equivalent on real 3.14.

• fix(tools): Python 3.14 compatibility for DaemonThreadPoolExecutor #57459 keeps the 4-arg call _worker(executor_ref, work_queue, initializer, initargs) and only swaps the two attrs to getattr(self, "_initializer"/"_initargs", None). That silences the missing-attribute error, but CPython 3.14's _worker is now 3-arg — (executor_reference, ctx, work_queue) — so passing 4 positional args still raises TypeError once a worker thread spins up. It does not actually clear the 3.14 crash.
• This PR detects the signature at import (inspect.signature(_worker) → _WORKER_USES_CTX) and branches: the correct 3-tuple (executor_ref, ctx, work_queue) on ≥3.14, the original 4-tuple on ≤3.13 (a no-op there). It also adds regression tests, including a mocked 3.14-branch test that validates the new path on 3.11 CI.

@AmirF194 verified the arg order against the CPython 3.14 source and ran the suite green. Happy to defer to maintainers on which to land or whether to consolidate — just noting the mechanism difference is load-bearing here, not cosmetic.

[nankingjing]

Verified: branch is cleanly rebaseable on main (merge-base 1388cd1, test merge succeeds). The _worker signature detection at import time is a clean approach, and the mocked 3.14 test gives CI coverage on all Python versions. No conflicts, no surprises.

Thanks for adding a targeted cross-version fix and a mocked 3.14-path test. The implementation addresses the current main compatibility gap in tools/daemon_pool.py:55-59; its context argument order also matches CPython 3.14’s _worker(executor_reference, ctx, work_queue) contract (Lib/concurrent/futures/thread.py:97).

Problems

• tests/tools/test_daemon_pool.py:197 asserts not _WORKER_USES_CTX. On CPython 3.14, the PR computes that flag as true from the three-parameter _worker signature (tools/daemon_pool.py:39), so this test fails on the target interpreter rather than being skipped.

Suggested changes

• Mark the legacy-shape test skipped when _WORKER_USES_CTX is true, or otherwise make its assertion conditional on the legacy runtime.

Automated hermes-sweeper review.

[teknium1]

On CPython 3.14 this flag is true by construction because _worker has the new three-argument signature, so this test fails on the target interpreter. Please skip this legacy-path test when _WORKER_USES_CTX is true, rather than asserting the runner is <=3.13.

[nankingjing]

Fixed in b88d4fb — replaced the hard assert not _WORKER_USES_CTX with @pytest.mark.skipif(_WORKER_USES_CTX, reason="legacy 4-arg _worker signature only exists on Python <= 3.13"), so the legacy-shape test skips on 3.14+ instead of asserting the interpreter version. Verified both ways: Python 3.12 → 10 passed (test still exercised); CPython 3.14 → 9 passed, 1 skipped with that reason.
