🟡 Registration timeout uncaught on Python 3.10
When registration polling times out, asyncio.wait_for raises asyncio.TimeoutError, but except TimeoutError catches the builtin, which is a distinct class before Python 3.11. On the declared minimum Python 3.10 the descriptive RuntimeError is never raised and the bare timeout error propagates instead.

WalkthroughPrefill cancellation now propagates through linked contexts, uses a known SGLang request ID before the first result, waits for request registration, drains aborted streams, and completes asynchronous worker cleanup. ChangesPrefill cancellation lifecycle
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change improves cancellation of remote prefill requests, but shutdown can still hang if a consumer does not finish after cancellation, and timeout handling may fail on supported Python 3.10 environments.

Bound the shutdown wait on prefill consumers.
The previous synchronous cleanup() could not block. cleanup_async in components/src/dynamo/sglang/request_handlers/llm/prefill_handler.py Lines 77-97 cancels the consumer tasks and then awaits asyncio.gather with no timeout. A consumer that stays inside the post-abort drain loop (async for _ in results) keeps the worker process alive and prevents the deferred handlers from running. Add a bounded wait in cleanup_async and log the tasks that do not finish.

Python 3.10 asyncio.wait_for asyncio.TimeoutError built-in TimeoutError alias version 3.11 documentation
💡 Result:
Starting with Python 3.11, asyncio.TimeoutError is an alias for the built-in TimeoutError exception [1][2][3]. In Python 3.10 and earlier, asyncio.TimeoutError was a distinct exception class that did not inherit from the built-in TimeoutError [4][5]. Consequently, code catching built-in TimeoutError would not catch an asyncio.TimeoutError in those versions [4][5]. As of Python 3.11, the asyncio-specific exception was refactored to be a direct alias of the built-in TimeoutError [1][4][6]. This change was implemented to unify timeout handling across the language [5][6]. While asyncio.TimeoutError is maintained for backward compatibility, it is documented as a deprecated alias [1][2][3]. Developers are encouraged to catch the built-in TimeoutError directly [7][4]. You can verify this in Python 3.11 and later using: import asyncio print(asyncio.TimeoutError is TimeoutError) # Output: True [4]

Catch asyncio.TimeoutError for Python 3.10 support.
The project supports Python >=3.10, where asyncio.TimeoutError is distinct from built-in TimeoutError. Catch asyncio.TimeoutError so the timeout is converted to the intended RuntimeError.

Add a timeout around the cleanup_async await.
cleanup_async awaits asyncio.gather on the consumer tasks. If a consumer stops honouring cancellation, this test hangs instead of failing. Bound the lifecycle await.
💚 Proposed fix
- await handler.cleanup_async()
+ await asyncio.wait_for(handler.cleanup_async(), timeout=1)As per path instructions (.ai/pytest-guidelines.md): "add a timeout for tests involving waits, polling, or async lifecycle operations".
