Previously the tokio runtime was stashed in a hidden attribute on the reactor object, installed lazily by whichever Rust code first needed it, and started via callWhenRunning (which never fires under trial's MemoryReactorClock, hence reactor.run() workarounds in several tests). Instead, introduce: * `Reactor`, a typed Rust wrapper around the Twisted reactor. The duck type is validated once at the FFI boundary, and the wrapper is the single place naming the Twisted API surface Rust relies on. * `RustRuntime`, a frozen pyclass wrapping `Arc<RustRuntimeInner>`, constructed once per homeserver via `hs.get_rust_runtime()`. The tokio runtime starts lazily on first use; shutdown is driven by a reactor shutdown trigger holding only a `Weak` reference (so there is no uncollectable reference cycle through the Rust struct), with a `Drop` backstop for reactors whose triggers never fire. Rust consumers (`HttpClient`, `VersionsHandler`, the Python DB pool wrapper) now receive the runtime or reactor handle explicitly instead of fishing state out of reactor attributes, and the reactor.run() / manual-startup workarounds in tests are no longer needed.

You can directly run and manage the source code in this repository, available under an AGPL license (or alternatively under a commercial license from Element). There is no support provided by Element unless you have a subscription from Element. 🚀 Getting started ================== This component is developed and maintained by `Element <https://element.io>`_. It gets shipped as part of the **Element Server Suite (ESS)** which provides the official means of deployment. ESS is a Matrix distribution from Element with focus on quality and ease of use. It ships a full Matrix stack tailored to the respective use case. There are three editions of ESS: - `ESS Community <https://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm>`_ - the free Matrix distribution from Element tailored to small-/mid-scale, non-commercial community use cases - `ESS Pro <https://element.io/server-suite>`_ - the commercial Matrix distribution from Element for professional use - `ESS TI-M <https://element.io/server-suite/ti-messenger>`_ - a special version of ESS Pro focused on the requirements of TI-Messenger Pro and ePA as specified by the German National Digital Health Agency Gematik 🛠️ Standalone installation and configuration ============================================ The Synapse documentation describes `options for installing Synapse standalone <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/setup/installation.html>`_. See below for more useful documentation links. - `Synapse configuration options <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/config_documentation.html>`_ - `Synapse configuration for federation <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/federate.html>`_ - `Using a reverse proxy with Synapse <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/reverse_proxy.html>`_ - `Upgrading Synapse <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade.html>`_ 🎯 Troubleshooting and support ============================== 🚀 Professional support ----------------------- Enterprise quality support for Synapse including SLAs is available as part of an `Element Server Suite (ESS) <https://element.io/pricing>`_ subscription. If you are an existing ESS subscriber then you can raise a `support request <https://ems.element.io/support>`_ and access the `Element product documentation <https://docs.element.io>`_. 🤝 Community support -------------------- The `Admin FAQ <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/administration/admin_faq.html>`_ includes tips on dealing with some common problems. For more details, see `Synapse's wider documentation <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/>`_. For additional support installing or managing Synapse, please ask in the community support room |room|_ (from a matrix.org account if necessary). We do not use GitHub issues for support requests, only for bug reports and feature requests. .. |room| replace:: ``#synapse:matrix.org`` .. _room: https://matrix.to/#/#synapse:matrix.org .. |docs| replace:: ``docs`` .. _docs: docs 🛠️ Development ============== We welcome contributions to Synapse from the community! The best place to get started is our `guide for contributors <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html>`_. This is part of our broader `documentation <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest>`_, which includes information for Synapse developers as well as Synapse administrators. Developers might be particularly interested in: * `Synapse's database schema <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/database_schema.html>`_, * `notes on Synapse's implementation details <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/internal_documentation/index.html>`_, and * `how we use git <https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/git.html>`_. Alongside all that, join our developer community on Matrix: `#synapse-dev:matrix.org <https://matrix.to/#/#synapse-dev:matrix.org>`_, featuring real humans!
