⚡ Tier 3 Native Rust Fast-Path Routes (app.add_native_route)

Tier 3 routes execute 100% inside compiled machine code inside Tokio/Hyper, completely bypassing Python's CPython interpreter, GIL, and object allocation.

🔬 Detailed Analysis of Core Write-Path Optimizations

1. Async GIL Semaphore Pre-Acquisition

Replaced try_acquire() with non-blocking async acquire_owned().await before Tokio worker thread dispatch. Prevents worker threads from contending simultaneously on CPython GIL.

2. SQLite WAL Mode Connection Pool

Configured SqliteConnectOptions with journal_mode=WAL, synchronous=NORMAL, and busy_timeout=10s. Eliminates database file locking bottlenecks.

3. Tokio Handle Reuse (try_current)

Directly reuses the server's primary Tokio runtime handle (Handle::try_current()) inside db.execute(), eliminating secondary runtime context switching.

4. Rust Native JSON Parsing

Implemented serde_to_pyobject in Rust to parse JSON directly into PyObjects via serde_json, bypassing Python's standard json.loads() FFI dispatch.
