Adds `scheduler::spawn_dedicated_thread` (and inherent `spawn_dedicated` methods on `PlatformScheduler` and `TestScheduler`) so single-threaded actors that own `!Send` state can run on their own OS thread and freely do blocking I/O without disturbing any other executor. ### Why A single-threaded actor that needs to do blocking syscalls is currently stuck: it can't run on the shared foreground executor (blocking would stall every other foreground session), and it can't move to the background pool because its state isn't `Send`. `spawn_dedicated` gives each such actor its own thread and its own `LocalExecutor`, while still participating in the same testable scheduler infrastructure as everything else. ### Shape - `pub fn spawn_dedicated_thread(session_id, scheduler, f) -> Task<_>` in `scheduler`. Owns the OS thread, the per-session runnable channel, and the `LocalExecutor` setup. - Inherent `spawn_dedicated` on `PlatformScheduler` (allocates its own `SessionId`, delegates to the free function). - Inherent `spawn_dedicated` on `TestScheduler` (no real thread — runs as a fresh local session driven by the test scheduler's run loop, so determinism under `many` is preserved). - Renames `Scheduler::schedule_foreground` → `schedule_local` and `scheduler::ForegroundExecutor` → `scheduler::LocalExecutor` to reflect that these are session-pinned queues rather than "the main thread" (a dedicated session runs on its own thread). GPUI's wrapper `gpui::ForegroundExecutor` and the `foreground_executor` field/method names are unchanged to keep blast radius small. - `LocalExecutor::new` now takes an explicit dispatch closure, so the routing decision (default session, dedicated thread, or something else) lives at the construction site. ### Tests - `TestScheduler` side: round-trip, `!Send` future, `Send` closure capturing shared state, inner `executor.spawn`, determinism under `many` seeds, drop-cancels-future, detached child runs after root completes. - `PlatformScheduler` side: real separate thread (blocking syscalls don't stall the test), `!Send` future output, drop-cancels-future, thread tears down after work completes, detached child outlives root. cc @as-cii Release Notes: - N/A --------- Co-authored-by: Antonio Scandurra <me@as-cii.com> Co-authored-by: Conrad Irwin <conrad.irwin@gmail.com>
