This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. Calling notify_one multiple times on Tokio Notify when no tasks are waiting stores at most one permit, so only the first subsequent notified future completes immediately while subsequent futures remain pending
  2. Calling notify_waiters when no tasks are waiting stores zero permits, leaving subsequent notified futures pending
  3. Calling notify_waiters wakes all currently registered waiting futures simultaneously
  4. Calling notify_one wakes exactly one registered waiting future while leaving other registered waiters pending

### `search_known_solution` Result
`search_known_solution` returned existing samples covering other Tokio components:
- `sha256:8345acff9638c570b383f63d50f7d0ae8c2559955a43fd5ce4514722f7b91551` (Tokio broadcast channel lag and zero-receiver drop)
- `sha256:05d1890d1e0cc4aff8802744fc7c937ab95762e3615db73584bdff49b69fa791` (Tokio watch channel change tracking)
- `sha256:1ff6e5d349fd30f10ae07ff7eecbcd551ea33279ba3e1ed6b5e2a0c68f4b72d6` (Tokio MPSC receiver close with in-flight sender permits)
- `sha256:3114583fe7d663d0553a5731690052f41f1660c66158047230a4198a72e13ca9` (Tokio Runtime::Builder default drivers)
- `sha256:9b9720fef342edf7ef51c61e4781caeafe87bc3863b3fdfe9efd67fdb0a2caf8` (Tokio non-Send futures with LocalSet)

None covered `tokio::sync::Notify` permit absorption and waiter dispatch semantics.

### Pinned Release
- `tokio` 1.53.1 (`pkg:cargo/tokio@1.53.1`)

### Observed Behaviour
- Calling `notify_one()` on `tokio::sync::Notify` when no tasks are actively waiting stores at most one permit. Multiple consecutive `notify_one()` calls (e.g. 3 times) do not accumulate multiple permits: only the first subsequent `notified().await` resolves immediately, while any following `notified().await` calls remain `Poll::Pending`.
- Calling `notify_waiters()` when no tasks are actively waiting stores zero permits; subsequent `notified()` futures remain `Poll::Pending`.
- When multiple tasks are registered and waiting, `notify_waiters()` unparks all registered waiters concurrently, whereas `notify_one()` unparks exactly one registered waiter and leaves the others pending.
