10
+ ## [0.1.0] - 2026-06-13
11
+
12
+ First public release. The deterministic core, simulated world, fault matrix,
13
+ explorer, shrinker, and pytest plugin are all present and exercised by a
14
+ 10,000-seed determinism torture in CI.
15
+
16
+ ### Added
17
+ - Project scaffold: `src/` layout, strict mypy, ruff, pytest + hypothesis, CI.
18
+ - Phase 0 feasibility spikes under `spikes/`.
19
+ - **Phase A core**: the choice tape (`Tape`, labeled bounded draws, strict/fallback
20
+ replay, versioned JSON serialization), the deterministic event loop (`SimLoop`)
21
+ with virtual time, loop-owned task naming, escape detection
22
+ (`EscapedSimulationError`), deadlock reporting (`SimDeadlockError`), controlled
23
+ GC, and deterministic teardown; `run()`/`replay()` entry points returning
24
+ `RunResult` with a sha256 universe digest; event log format v1
25
+ (`docs/event-log.md`); honesty doc (`docs/determinism.md`); 10,000-seed
26
+ determinism-torture CI job.
27
+ - **Phase B world**: simulated network behind the loop primitives (in-memory
28
+ transports with FIFO stream guarantees, `SimServer`, strict `SimDNS`, tape-driven
29
+ latency and loss-as-retransmission-delay), `World`/`Host` with power-cut crash
30
+ semantics and entry-factory restart, `SimDisk` with honest fsync. Gate: unmodified
31
+ aiohttp + httpx exchanging requests over the lossy simulated network, replayable
32
+ byte-for-byte (`tests/test_world_http.py`).
33
+ - **Phase C faults + buggify**: partition/heal (hold-and-release, streams never
34
+ corrupt), asymmetric block, connection-reset injection, partition-aware connects,
35
+ torn/lost/flushed unsynced writes on crash; `simloom.sometimes`/`draw`/`reached`
36
+ with `RunResult.coverage`. Gate: the toy Raft torture suite
37
+ (`tests/test_raft_demo.py`) catches a planted double-vote bug via exploration and
38
+ replays it exactly; the correct implementation survives.
39
+ - **Phase D explorer + shrinker**: `simloom.explore` (random walk or PCT scheduling,
40
+ serial or multiprocess, failure corpus + coverage union), `simloom.shrink`
41
+ (deviations-first greedy minimization with re-recorded candidates and zero-refill
42
+ fallback; human-readable `describe()`), `PCT`/`RandomWalk` strategies with
43
+ replay-matched recording. Gate: the benchmark bug zoo measures find rates — PCT
44
+ finds the starvation-class bug a random walk never does (0 vs 151 of 400 seeds),
45
+ and random dominates shallow races; both results asserted in CI.
46
+ - **Phase E pytest plugin**: `@simloom.test(runs=N)` turns an async test into a
47
+ seed-exploring simulation test — failures are shrunk, written to `.sim/failures/`
48
+ as replayable artifacts, and reported with seed + re-run command + minimal
49
+ schedule. Options: `--simloom-seed`, `--simloom-runs`, `--simloom-tape`,
50
+ `--simloom-no-shrink`; `require_coverage` for per-test sometimes-assertions.
51
+ - **Examples + demo #4**: `examples/toy_raft.py` (runnable) and
52
+ `examples/bpo42130.py` — the historical `asyncio.wait_for` cancellation-swallowing
53
+ race (bpo-42130) reproduced deterministically from a seed; the modern stdlib
54
+ survives the identical torture. Launch-post draft in `docs/launch-post.md`.

+
52
+ Your async code is tested one interleaving at a time — the polite one your laptop
53
+ happened to schedule. Races ship. Flakes get retried. "Works on my machine" is the
54
+ state of the art.
55
+
56
+ **simloom runs your unmodified asyncio program inside a fully simulated world** — a
57
+ seeded scheduler that owns every interleaving, a virtual clock, an in-memory network
58
+ with injectable latency, loss, partitions, and crashes — and explores thousands of
59
+ hostile schedules looking for the one that breaks your invariants. When it finds one,
60
+ it hands you a **seed** that replays the failure byte-for-byte, forever, and **shrinks**
61
+ it to the minimal schedule that still triggers the bug.
62
+
63
+ ```text
64
+ FAILED test_lease_exclusivity — simloom found a failing universe
65
+ seed: 17 (re-run: pytest -k lease --simloom-seed=17)
66
+ error: AssertionError: two holders of an exclusive lease
67
+ shrunk: 31 draws → 29, schedule deviations 25 → 1 (106 candidate runs)
68
+ minimal schedule: FIFO everywhere except:
69
+ draw #0: sched.pick = 1 (of 4)
70
+ artifacts: .sim/failures/test_lease_exclusivity-seed17.tape.json, …
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ The entire bug, above, is *"one callback ran out of order, once."* No more staring at a
74
+ flake that reproduces every thousandth CI run.
75
+
76
+ ## Install
77
+
78
+ ```sh
79
+ pip install simloom # or: uv add simloom
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ Python 3.12+. Zero runtime dependencies. The pytest plugin loads automatically.
83
+
84
+ ## Quickstart
85
+
86
+ Write an ordinary async test, decorate it, and let simloom explore the schedule space:
87
+
88
+ ```python
89
+ import asyncio
90
+ import simloom
91
+
92
+ @simloom.test(runs=2000) # explores 2000 schedules; pytest collects this
93
+ async def test_counter_is_atomic():
94
+ state = {"value": 0}
95
+
96
+ async def worker():
97
+ for _ in range(3):
98
+ current = state["value"]
99
+ await asyncio.sleep(0) # a scheduling point — the race lives here
100
+ state["value"] = current + 1
101
+
102
+ await asyncio.gather(*(worker() for _ in range(3)))
103
+ assert state["value"] == 9 # a plain assert: it fires under exploration
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ ```sh
107
+ pytest # finds the lost-update race, shrinks it, prints the seed
108
+ pytest --simloom-seed=42 # replay one exact universe
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ Need a distributed system? Ask for a `world` and you get hosts, a network, and faults:
112
+
113
+ ```python
114
+ @simloom.test(runs=5000)
115
+ async def test_leader_election(world):
116
+ nodes = [world.host(f"n{i}") for i in range(5)]
117
+ for h in nodes:
118
+ h.spawn(lambda h=h: run_node(h, peers=nodes)) # your real, unmodified asyncio code
119
+
120
+ world.net.partition(nodes[:2], nodes[2:]) # faults are first-class
121
+ await world.sleep(30) # virtual seconds — wall time ≈ 0
122
+ world.net.heal()
123
+ nodes[0].crash() # a real power cut: no finally blocks
124
+ nodes[0].restart() # comes back against fsynced disk only
125
+
126
+ await world.until(lambda: exactly_one_leader(nodes), timeout=120)
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ ## Why this didn't exist before
130
+
131
+ Rust has [`loom`](https://github.com/tokio-rs/loom),
132
+ [`turmoil`](https://github.com/tokio-rs/turmoil),
133
+ [`madsim`](https://github.com/madsim-rs/madsim), and
134
+ [`shuttle`](https://github.com/awslabs/shuttle). .NET had
135
+ [Coyote](https://github.com/microsoft/coyote). FoundationDB built a company-defining
136
+ simulator; [Antithesis](https://antithesis.com) sells the methodology at the hypervisor
137
+ level. Python — where a huge share of backend glue and agent orchestration is written —
138
+ had **nothing**.
139
+
140
+ And asyncio is *structurally perfect* for it: every interleaving decision happens at an
141
+ `await`, under a **replaceable event loop**. simloom swaps in a deterministic one — no
142
+ forked interpreter, no hypervisor, no recompilation. Because the ecosystem (aiohttp,
143
+ httpx, the streams API) bottoms out in loop primitives, **real, unmodified libraries run
144
+ inside the simulation**. Our CI runs a genuine aiohttp server against a genuine httpx
145
+ client over the simulated network, with 20% packet loss injected, replayable from a seed.
146
+
147
+ ## What you get
148
+
149
+ - **🎲 Seeded, exhaustive-ish scheduling** — a single *choice tape* (the Hypothesis
150
+ trick, applied to schedules) drives every decision. One seed → one exact universe.
151
+ - **⏱ Virtual time** — an hour of simulated `asyncio.sleep` traffic runs in
152
+ milliseconds. Timeouts and retries are tested at full speed.
153
+ - **🌐 A simulated network** — in-memory transports with tape-driven latency, loss
154
+ (modeled as TCP retransmit delay — streams never corrupt), partitions, asymmetric
155
+ blocks, and connection resets.
156
+ - **💥 Honest crashes** — `host.crash()` is a power cut: tasks stop with no `finally`
157
+ blocks, unsynced disk writes are lost or *torn*, peers see resets. `restart()` brings
158
+ the host back against its surviving fsynced state.
159
+ - **🔬 Fault injection in your code** — `simloom.sometimes("drop_cache")` is tape-driven
160
+ inside the sim and a constant `False` in production. Annotate rare branches; explore
161
+ them.
162
+ - **🪓 Automatic shrinking** — failures reduce to the minimal schedule deviation, with a
163
+ human-readable explanation and a replayable artifact on disk.
164
+ - **🧭 Pluggable search** — a uniform random walk *and* PCT
165
+ ([Probabilistic Concurrency Testing](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/a-randomized-scheduler-with-probabilistic-guarantees-of-finding-bugs/)),
166
+ which finds deep ordering and starvation bugs a random walk essentially never hits.
167
+ - **🚨 Escape detection** — touch a real socket, signal, subprocess, or the wall clock
168
+ from inside the sim and you get an `EscapedSimulationError` at the exact call site
169
+ instead of silent nondeterminism.
170
+
171
+ ## It finds real bugs
172
+
173
+ **A multi-year CPython race.** Pre-3.12 `asyncio.wait_for` could *swallow a delivered
174
+ cancellation* when the inner future completed in the same window as the cancel
175
+ ([bpo-42130](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/86296)). In production it took an
176
+ exact wall-clock collision; under simloom the timeout boundary is just another
177
+ scheduling choice, so exploration finds the interleaving **from a seed** and replays it
178
+ exactly. The modern implementation survives the identical torture. → `examples/bpo42130.py`
179
+
180
+ **The canonical demo.** A toy Raft over the simulated network — persisted term/votedFor,
181
+ JSON-RPC, the works — tortured with partitions, crashes, and restarts. Plant the classic
182
+ double-vote bug and exploration elects two leaders in one term in ~1 seed of 5; the fixed
183
+ version survives, with coverage counters proving the faults actually fired.
184
+ → `examples/toy_raft.py`
185
+
186
+ ## Honesty first
187
+
188
+ A determinism claim is only as good as its disclosed limits. simloom raises a loud error
189
+ when your code reaches outside the simulation, and [`docs/determinism.md`](docs/determinism.md)
190
+ states **exactly** what is and isn't deterministic. Known boundaries: blocking
191
+ C-extension I/O (`psycopg2`, `requests`, grpc's C core) can't run in-sim; direct
192
+ `time.time()` reads bypass the virtual clock; real subprocesses and external servers
193
+ need Python stand-ins. None of these fail silently.
194
+
195
+ ## Status
196
+
197
+ **Pre-alpha, and built in the open.** The deterministic core, simulated world, fault
198
+ matrix, explorer, shrinker, and pytest plugin all exist and are exercised by a
199
+ 10,000-seed determinism torture on every CI run (the harness holds itself to the same
200
+ hostility it applies to your code). The API may still shift before 1.0. If you try it,
201
+ [open an issue](https://github.com/mandipadk/simloom/issues) — early feedback shapes it.
