From 30785c92c0ca8bd584a125954d01176b6439a475 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: giles Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 20:47:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?sx-http:=20non-blocking=20server=20=E2=80=94=20?= =?UTF-8?q?fast=20path=20for=20cached,=20render=20workers=20for=20misses?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replace blocking domain pool with non-blocking architecture: - Main accept loop handles ALL connections immediately - Cached responses: served in microseconds from main loop (no queuing) - Static files: served immediately from main loop - Cache misses: queued to render worker pool (domain workers) - Socket timeouts (5s recv, 10s send) prevent connection hangs - TCP backlog increased to 1024 No more connection resets under load. 22/26 Playwright tests pass (4 failures from stale worktree test copies, 0 from main tree).
