What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Cancelling a turn locally no longer tears down non-durable registry tasks.
Details
interrupt takes a second options argument and forwards scope.- Local cancels pass
{ scope: "turn-cancel" }; remote cancels pass nothing. - On the receiving side, the branch that tears down non-durable registry tasks is skipped when the scope is
turn-cancel. - The SDK consumer-error path also interrupts with this scope.
Evidence
turn-cancel
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
