- IScriptRunner.RunBatch: one EvalBatch frame per worker for every evaluation ready to run; per-item, streamed results.
The default (InProcessScriptRunner) is RunAsync per item. Used by the Calculation pump (dequeue all, split at a
repeated tag, publish in dequeue order), the VirtualTag seam (ScriptBatchCoalescer, no timer) and the scripted-alarm
engine (whole dirty set). In process the pump and the engine stay one at a time, unchanged.
- Exact per-item deadlines: the worker hands work to an idle evaluation thread or defers it (EvalResults
deferred_eval_ids); the host stops that run's clock and restarts T then G when it starts (started_eval_ids). A run
queued behind a runaway is neither timed out nor struck and is a victim, not the culprit, at the kill.
- Scripted-alarm seam behind Scripting:Runner:Seams; unset Seams now means VirtualTag + Calculation, so alarms run out of
process only when listed. Load still compiles each predicate (to PE bytes only) so a broken one fails the load; passes
batch and apply in the serial order under the gate. Script faults freeze the condition BadInternalError; runner faults
freeze it BadResourceUnavailable and re-evaluate on recovery; a dead worker never clears an alarm. IScriptRunnerProvider
carries the runner to DriverHostActor.
- Perf harness: batch throughput (RunBatch vs RunAsync x n) and alarm-pass latency (in process / batched / serial);
design §12.3 records macOS + windev. On windev the serial out-of-process alarm pass misses 250 ms from ~500 alarms;
batched p99 <= 53 ms at 1,000.
