Skill instructions
Testing with Behavior-Oriented Concurrency (BOC) This skill describes how to write tests for code that uses the bocpy library for behavior-oriented concurrency. BOC schedules work as behaviors — decorated functions that run once all required cowns (concurrently-owned data) are available. Testing BOC programs requires specific patterns because behaviors execute asynchronously on worker interpreters. Design guidance: if you find yourself reaching for time.sleep, threading.Event, polling loops, or waitfor helpers inside a behavior or in test code that drives one, stop and read thinking-in-boc first. The right answer is almost always to express the dependency through the cown graph, not through a classical synchronization primitive. Key Concepts | Concept | Description | |---------|-------------| | Cown(value) | A concurrently-owned wrapper. Behaviors receive exclusive temporal access to the cown's .value. | | @when(cowns) | Decorator that schedules the function as a behavior. The decorato
