Summary

Add module_export_static! for Rust-addressable module entries that can coexist in one executable, while keeping module_export! and its C symbol names for standalone cdylib builds. Give each generated entry its own manifest storage.

Initialize linked entries without replacing the host's global tracing subscriber or panic hook. When a linked module sends a bus frame from its Tokio worker, enter a blocking section before the existing bounded send. The regression test attaches two linked entries to one broker and waits for both to become ready.

This is the TinyBus prerequisite for linking OpenHuman's native capabilities into the desktop and CLI binaries. OpenHuman's dynamic module loader remains in place until the host and every module repository have migrated.

Verification

  • cargo test -p tinybus-module
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The static-link feature adds per-generated-manifest caching and conditional symbol mangling. A test exports two modules with distinct bus names and checks their manifests, ABI symbols, and initialization symbols.

Changes

Static-link support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest caching and generated exports
crates/tinybus-module/Cargo.toml, crates/tinybus-module/src/lib.rs, crates/tinybus-module/src/static_link_tests.rs
The crate adds the static-link feature and manifest_slice_in, which accepts a caller-owned cache. Generated manifest functions use separate caches. Generated ABI, manifest, and initialization symbols use no_mangle only when static-link is disabled. Tests check manifests and symbols for two exported modules.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b68eb

The new static-link mode may not work as described. Enabling the feature on the shared module crate does not change the symbols that each module crate exports, so linking several modules into one desktop or CLI binary can still fail on duplicate symbols. Make the feature selection effective in consuming crates, or require and document feature forwarding in every module crate, before relying on this.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — crates (service) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/tinybus-module/Cargo.toml: Added the static-link Cargo feature with an empty dependency list; the accompanying comment describes its intended linking scenario.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/tinybus-module/src/lib.rs: manifest_slice now delegates to the new public manifest_slice_in, which accepts a caller-owned cache slot. The panic-protected builder uses that slot instead of always caching in the module-global manifest storage.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/tinybus-module/src/lib.rs: The generated ABI descriptor and manifest function now have unmangled symbols only outside static-link builds. Each generated manifest function owns a static OnceLock and passes it to manifest_slice_in.
  • observed — Modified behavior in crates/tinybus-module/src/lib.rs: The generated configured initialization export is now unmangled only when static-link is disabled.

Reliability and maintainability

  • inferred — Risk-relevant change factors for crates: blast_radius_2; blast_radius_3; direct_dependents_1

Gate static exports with the defining crate's feature

This macro is still exported unconditionally, so a consumer can invoke module_export_static! even when the feature that defines static-linked module support is disabled. That defeats the feature boundary and can expose an API/configuration that should be unavailable in that build. Gate this export and its supporting generated entry points using a configuration mechanism visible to macro consumers.


Additional security observation

Gate static exports with the defining crate's feature

[RULE] feature-gating

This macro is exported unconditionally, so consumers can instantiate the static-link entry-point machinery regardless of whether the defining crate's static-module support is enabled. Keep this export and its supporting linked-module APIs behind the defining feature, or make expansion fail when that feature is disabled, so unsupported module surfaces are not exposed in ordinary builds.

Gate static exports with the defining crate's feature

This only enables tinybus's modules feature for the dev dependency used while testing; it does not gate the exported static-module macro or its generated ABI symbols. Consumers can still expand the export unconditionally in configurations where static-link support is disabled, so the feature boundary remains ineffective. Gate the export surface using a configuration flag visible to macro consumers, or make expansion fail when the required feature is absent.

The earlier high-severity feature-gating concern remains: adding the modules feature only to this dev-dependency does not gate the exported macro or its generated static ABI symbols in tinybus-module/src/lib.rs. Consumers can still expand the static export surface without the defining crate's intended feature boundary.

Handle current-thread runtimes before calling block_in_place

Handle::try_current() is true for both multi-threaded and current-thread Tokio runtimes, but block_in_place panics when called from a current-thread runtime because there is no worker thread to hand work off to. A module callback running on such a runtime therefore reaches the outer catch_unwind and returns TB_BACKPRESSURE, dropping the frame instead of applying the promised bounded backpressure and reliable completion. Detect the runtime flavor and use a safe fallback (or avoid synchronous blocking from runtime threads) for current-thread runtimes.


Additional security observation

priority medium confident

Handle current-thread runtimes without panicking

[RULE] runtime-flavor-check

Handle::try_current() only establishes that some Tokio runtime is active; it does not establish that the runtime is multithreaded. tokio::task::block_in_place panics on a current-thread runtime, and the outer catch_unwind converts that panic into TB_BACKPRESSURE, so a linked module running under a current-thread executor cannot reliably deliver replies or messages. Check the runtime flavor before using block_in_place and use a nonblocking or otherwise dedicated-thread path for current-thread runtimes.


Additional tests observation

priority medium confident

Test the blocking send path for linked modules

[RULE] insufficient-test-coverage

The transport change adds block_in_place when a Tokio runtime is active, which is essential for linked modules that share the host's runtime. The new test linked_entries_attach_to_one_broker only attaches modules and waits for them to become ready; it never sends a method call. A regression in this path (e.g., a future change that removes the runtime check) would go undetected. Add a test that performs a method call on a linked module and asserts a reply arrives without a panic.

Gate static-link tests behind the defining feature

This file invokes module_export_static! and references the static module ABI/runtime surface without any cfg gate. When tinybus-module is built without the feature that provides static-link support, this test module is still compiled, so the crate can either expose/instantiate the static export machinery in an unsupported configuration or fail to compile because its required module support is unavailable. Gate the containing test module or each export with the feature mechanism used by the defining crate.

Avoid linking duplicate static module symbols

This second static export, together with the first and configured exports, generates the same exported ABI symbol names (TINYBUS_MODULE_ABI_V1, tinybus_module_manifest_v1, and tinybus_module_init_v1). Rust modules do not namespace linker symbols, so linking this test binary will fail with duplicate definitions before the test can run. Use uniquely named test exports or place each static module in a separate binary/library.

Gate static exports with the defining crate's feature

This test invokes the static-link export macro without a configuration gate. If the defining module support is disabled, the test still attempts to instantiate the module ABI surface, reproducing the earlier unresolved feature-boundary issue. Gate the containing test module or each invocation using a configuration flag that is actually visible in this crate.

Redact panic payloads for linked modules

When linked is true, the runtime skips installing the panic hook that records only the file and location. A panic in a linked module therefore falls through to the process's existing hook (the default hook prints the panic payload), so a payload containing credentials or confidential message data can be written to stderr. Preserve the redacting behavior for linked modules as well, or provide a process-wide hook that safely routes and redacts all linked-module panics.


Additional critique observation

priority high confident

Keep linked-module panic payloads out of the process output

[RULE] panic-handling

For linked = true, this skips the module's payload-redacting panic hook. A linked module panic still invokes Rust's global panic hook even when it is later caught; in an executable using the default hook, a panic such as panic!("secret-token") therefore prints the payload to stderr. This violates the repository rule that panic/error values must not be printed or cross the module boundary. Linked-mode panic handling needs a payload-redacting strategy that does not replace the host's hook.
