Phase 10.6b — Scheduler Prep (Single-Thread Queue)
Whats added
- `src/runtime/scheduler.rs` with `Scheduler` trait and `SingleThreadScheduler`.
- Queue + delayed tasks (spawn/spawn_after) and `poll()` to run work.
- VM calls `scheduler.poll()` at MIR `Safepoint` to integrate cooperative scheduling.
- Poll budget via env `NYASH_SCHED_POLL_BUDGET` (default: 1)
- Trace via `NYASH_SCHED_TRACE=1` (diagnostic)
How to use (dev)
- Build runtime with default SingleThreadScheduler (already default via builder), or inject custom via:
`NyashRuntimeBuilder::new().with_single_thread_scheduler().build()`
- Schedule tasks from boxes/host code via `runtime.scheduler.spawn(...)`.
- At safepoints, queued tasks run (1 per safepoint) and due delayed tasks are enqueued.
How to validate quickly
- Run any Nyash program that contains loops or function entries (safepoints exist by default).
- Optionally enable the demo hook: set `NYASH_SCHED_DEMO=1` and run the VM backend
to observe scheduler tasks firing at safepoints.
- Control throughput by `NYASH_SCHED_POLL_BUDGET` (e.g., 3 runs up to 3 tasks/safepoint).
- GC trace pairs well: set `NYASH_GC_COUNTING=1 NYASH_GC_TRACE=1` to see safepoints.
Next (10.6c+)
- Expose scheduling APIs to script level (Box API).
- Optional multi-thread scheduler implementation behind feature flag.
