Close created async generators before clearing their frames

When ag.ag_frame.clear() is called before the async generator starts, PyAsyncGen::del does not mark the generator closed, but this new fallthrough proceeds to erase its fast locals and stack. The generator therefore still exposes a non-None ag_frame, and a subsequent anext(ag) resumes a cleared frame—typically raising UnboundLocalError for an argument—whereas a cleared created async generator should be closed and raise StopAsyncIteration. Ensure the async-generator owner is synchronously marked closed before clearing its frame.

Report pending async-generator iterations as running

When an async generator is paused inside an inner await, running_async remains true for the outstanding anext()/asend(), but RunningGuard has already reset inner.running() to false. With this newly exposed property, inspect.getasyncgenstate() consequently sees ag_running == False and ag_suspended == True and reports AGEN_SUSPENDED; CPython reports AGEN_RUNNING until that outstanding asynchronous iteration completes. The public running state needs to account for running_async before enabling this state API.

Clear the escaped marker after temporary frame access

The new marker is permanent, so merely evaluating and discarding g.gi_frame causes every later close/completion to skip clear_frame_locals_on_close(). For example, after frame = g.gi_frame; del frame; g.close(), objects held only by generator arguments remain alive until g itself is deleted, unlike CPython, which releases them once no external frame reference remains; inspect.getgeneratorstate() can trigger the same retention for a created generator through its transient gi_frame access. Track whether an external frame reference is still live rather than whether one ever existed; the copied cr_frame and ag_frame paths have the same issue.

Release the frame lock before dropping generator locals

When the generator owns the only frame reference, this mutex guard remains held throughout clear_locals_and_stack(), which drops local Python objects and may execute their __del__ methods. A finalizer that re-enters the generator through an accessor such as g.gi_code or g.gi_yieldfrom calls self.frame() and attempts to acquire the same non-reentrant mutex, deterministically deadlocking generator completion or close(). Obtain the frame reference without retaining the guard across any Python-object destruction.

Keep the running claim until close publishes completion

In a threading build, when the injected GeneratorExit returns or raises, drop(claim) has already made running false before this branch publishes closed. Another thread can therefore pass the closed check, claim the same generator, and start resuming its finished frame while this thread stores closed and clears or replaces that frame. Keep the RunningGuard held through the closed-state update and frame cleanup, as maybe_close already does for the other completion paths.

Serialize frame cleanup with the uniqueness decision.

Coro::clear_except_code reads FrameObject::strong_count() under one self.frame mutex guard, then reacquires the mutex before calling FrameObject::clear_locals_and_stack(). Coro::frame() clones the stored reference, and gi_frame, cr_frame, and ag_frame expose those clones. A clone can arrive after the count is 1 and before cleanup. The cleanup then removes locals and stack references from an externally held frame instead of preserving them through ownership transfer.

Synchronize the uniqueness decision with the transition that empties or replaces the frame. Do not hold self.frame while clear_locals_and_stack() drops references, because that method documents that finalizers can re-enter the frame. Detach the references while the decision is protected, release the mutex, and then drop them.

Coro::clear_except_code to keep the uniqueness check synchronized with detaching
or replacing self.frame: under one mutex guard, decide whether the frame is
uniquely owned and remove the stored frame reference or transfer ownership
before releasing the lock; then call clear_locals_and_stack only on the detached
frame after unlocking, so re-entrant finalizers cannot deadlock and externally
cloned frames are preserved.

Preserve suspension after an ignored async-generator close

When an async generator catches GeneratorExit and yields from await agen.aclose(), PyAsyncGenAThrow::yield_close marks inner.closed even though execution remains paused at that yield. Consequently this new property returns false, inspect.getasyncgenstate() reports AGEN_CLOSED, ag_frame disappears, and a subsequent anext() cannot resume the generator; CPython instead reports AGEN_SUSPENDED and permits the final resume. The ignored-close path must retain the suspended state rather than publishing closure.

Security: Use safe atomic ownership for detachable frames

On the default threading build, a script that shares a generator/coroutine and an escaped frame across threads can race gi_frame/cr_frame/ag_frame with completion and release of that escaped reference. frame_opt() uses PyAtomicRef::to_owned(), which raw-loads then unconditionally increfs, while take_ownership() may swap(None) and drop the final reference. A reader paused after the load can therefore incref a destructed or freelist-reused FrameObject; subsequent frame access reaches cleared storage under unchecked release assumptions. RunningGuard does not cover these property reads. Atomically retire and cache-publish the frame, then use a revalidating try-incref before exposing it.

Close the frame_opt() race in clear_except_code.

PyAtomicRef::deref() performs only a relaxed load. frame_opt() then calls to_owned(), which loads the pointer and increments its reference count without revalidating the slot. Therefore, strong_count() == 1 does not reserve exclusive access. A concurrent frame_opt() clone can obtain the frame before clear_locals_and_stack() mutates localsplus. This violates the frame access contract, which requires no concurrent mutable access.

Detach the frame first, and make frame_opt() reject clones that began before the detach but completed after it. The post-swap count preserves externally held frames because their references keep the count above one.
