ringo

ringo

Make and test phone calls from your terminal.

Two tools that share one engine:

  • ringo-phone — a terminal softphone: manage SIP accounts and place calls without leaving the keyboard.
  • ringo-flow — a telephony scenario test runner: write call flows as Rhai scripts and run them headlessly in CI.

The source is on GitHub.

Introduction

ringophone

ringo is a terminal SIP softphone built on baresip, with a full ratatui TUI. It manages multiple accounts side by side — each with its own profile, call history and configuration — while keeping baresip running headless in the background.

It’s part of the ringo workspace; the crate is ringo-phone, the binary is ringo.

Features

  • Profile picker — fuzzy-search selector with inline create / edit / clone / delete.
  • Headless baresip — spawns baresip without its stdio UI; no terminal clutter.
  • ratatui TUI — status bar, command bar (: with tab-completion), Normal/Dial split, call list, DTMF, hold/resume, mute.
  • Contact book — TOML contacts with fuzzy number matching and $EDITOR editing.
  • Blind & attended transfer with a contact picker.
  • Call history (per-profile, redial) and dial history (global, Ctrl+R).
  • MWI message-waiting indicator.
  • Theming — every UI color configurable, with ready-made themes.
  • Remote control — drive a running session from another terminal or a script.
  • Multiple instances — each profile gets its own dynamically assigned port.

Next steps

For scripted, multi-agent telephony testing (assertions, audio, HTTP), see the companion tool ringo-flow.

Getting started

Install

1. baresip

ringo needs baresip ≥ 3.14 in your $PATH (baresip -v to check). See Supported platforms; on most systems:

sudo pacman -S baresip   # Arch
sudo apt install baresip # Debian/Ubuntu (may need >= 3.14 from a PPA/source)
brew install baresip     # macOS

2. ringo

Pre-built binaries for Linux and macOS (x86_64 + arm64) are on the releases page — download, extract and put ringo on your $PATH.

From crates.io:

cargo install ringo-phone

From GitHub (no clone needed):

cargo install --git https://github.com/davidborzek/ringo ringo-phone

Quick start

ringo        # open the profile picker → Ctrl+N to create your first profile

Fill in your SIP credentials in the form, press Enter to save, then select the profile and press Enter to launch. See Profiles for the fields.

Usage

ringo              # open the profile picker (default)
ringo start <name> # launch a specific profile directly
ringo list         # list all profiles
ringo list --plain # one name per line (for scripting)
ringo list --json  # as a JSON array

From here, Using the TUI covers the keybindings, and Remote control covers driving a running session from a script.

Profiles

Each SIP account is a profile, stored as TOML at ~/.config/ringo/profiles/<name>/profile.toml. Create and edit profiles right in the picker (Ctrl+N / Ctrl+E), or write the file by hand:

username     = "user123"
password     = "secret"
domain       = "sip.example.com"
display_name = "My Name"               # optional
transport    = "tls"                   # optional: udp, tcp, tls
outbound     = "sip:proxy.example.com" # optional
stun_server  = "stun:stun.example.com" # optional
media_enc    = "dtls_srtp"             # optional
notify       = true                    # desktop notifications (default: true)
mwi          = true                    # message-waiting indicator (default: true)

Custom SIP headers

Add headers to every outgoing INVITE. Order is preserved and duplicate keys are allowed (e.g. RFC 4244 History-Info). Values are percent-encoded for baresip’s uaaddheader — write them as plain text, no manual escaping. The ${uuid} placeholder is replaced per call with a fresh UUIDv4 (shared across all headers in the same INVITE); use $$ for a literal $.

custom_headers = [
  ["History-Info", "<sip:1@example.com>;index=1"],
  ["History-Info", "<sip:2@example.com>;index=1.1"],
  ["X-Trace-Id",   "call-${uuid}"],
]

Using the TUI

Launching a profile opens the ratatui interface: a status bar (registration, MWI), the call list, and a mode line. Below are the keybindings per mode and overlay.

Profile picker

KeyAction
EnterStart selected profile
Ctrl+NCreate new profile
Ctrl+EEdit selected profile
Ctrl+YClone selected profile
Ctrl+DDelete selected profile (confirmation)
/ Navigate (wrap-around)
EscQuit

Normal mode (default)

KeyAction
dEnter Dial mode
aAccept incoming call
b / DelHang up
h / rHold / Resume
mToggle mute
t / TBlind / attended transfer
0-9 * #DTMF tones (during a call)
f / TabOpen contacts (Tab switches calls when several are active)
e / l / cEvent log / baresip log / call history
Ctrl+RFuzzy-search dial history
Ctrl+EEdit profile (no active call)
Ctrl+PSwitch profile (back to picker)
:Open the command bar
q / Ctrl+CQuit (with / without confirmation)

Dial mode

KeyAction
EnterDial and return to Normal mode
EscCancel
BackspaceDelete character / exit when empty
/ Home EndMove / jump the cursor
/ Navigate dial history
TabOpen contacts
Ctrl+RFuzzy-search dial history

Transfer mode

KeyAction

EnterSelect number (dial or transfer)
/Search
a / e / dAdd / edit / delete contact
EOpen contacts in $EDITOR
f / EscClose

Command bar

Open with :. Tab-completes commands; Enter runs, Esc closes.

Commands: dial <n>, hangup, accept, hold, resume, mute, dtmf <digits>, transfer <uri>, contacts, events, log, history, edit, switch, help, quit.

Call history / log views

KeyAction
/ , g / GNavigate / jump
Enter(history) copy peer to dial input — redial
/(history) search
d / D(history) delete entry / clear all
e / l / cSwitch between event log / baresip log / call history
EscClose

Remote control

Drive a running session from another terminal — or a script — over a per-session Unix socket. ctl is an alias for control.

ringo control list                   # running sessions: PID, profile, account
ringo control -t <target> <command> [args]

# examples
ringo control -t work dial 4711      # target by profile name
ringo control -t 215709 hangup       # ...or by PID
ringo control -t work dtmf 123#      # send DTMF into the active call
ringo control -t work status         # registration + active calls

<target> is a profile name or a PID — use the PID (from ringo control list) when a name is awkward to type or the same profile runs more than once.

Commands: dial <n>, hangup, accept, hold, resume, mute, dtmf <digits>, transfer <uri>, status, shutdown.

Headless sessions

For scripting and automated testing, run a session without the TUI — it still binds the control socket and registers, so you drive it entirely via ringo control:

ringo start --headless work &    # runs in the background, no terminal needed
ringo control -t work status     # …drive it…
ringo control -t work shutdown   # stop it cleanly (or Ctrl-C the process)

JSON output

Add --json (-j) for machine-readable output: list emits an array of sessions, status a structured object (registration, active calls, and the most recently closed call under last_call with its reason/duration), and every other command an { "ok", "data", "error" } envelope. The exit code reflects success.

ringo control list --json
ringo control -t work status --json
ringo control -t work dial 4711 --json   # {"ok":true,"data":"Dialing 4711","error":null}

For full Rhai-scripted telephony test scenarios (multiple agents, assertions, audio verification), see ringo-flow.

Configuration

Global config lives at ~/.config/ringo/ringo.toml. Everything below is optional.

Picker subtitle

[picker]
# Fields shown next to each profile name in the picker. Available: aor, username,
# domain, display_name, transport, auth_user, outbound, stun_server, media_enc.
info = ["aor"]   # default

Theme

All UI colors are configurable — named values or #rrggbb hex.

RoleDefaultUsed for
accentcyanLogo, picker selection, DTMF input, history popup
subtledark_grayHints, log text, subtitles, unfocused labels
successgreenRegistered, established call, toggle on
dangerredMuted, missed calls, registration failed
attentionyellowSelected call, ringing, MWI, focused field
transfermagentaTransfer-mode input
[theme]
accent    = "cyan"
subtle    = "dark_gray"
success   = "green"
danger    = "red"
attention = "yellow"
transfer  = "magenta"

Ready-made themes (Catppuccin Mocha, Gruvbox, Nord, Tokyo Night) live in themes/.

baresip

ringo auto-detects the baresip module path and audio driver; override any of these in ringo.toml:

[baresip]
module_path  = "/usr/lib/baresip/modules"  # baresip modules
audio_driver = "pipewire"                   # alsa | pulse | pipewire | coreaudio
audio_player_device = "default"
audio_source_device = "default"
audio_alert_device  = "default"
sip_cafile   = "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"  # SIP TLS CA file
sip_capath   = "/etc/ssl/certs"                       # CA dir ("" to disable)

# Arbitrary baresip config overrides, appended last (last value wins).
# ⚠️ Incorrect values can break ringo. See the baresip Configuration wiki.
[baresip.extra]
dns_server     = "10.0.0.1:53"
call_max_calls = "8"

Contacts

Contacts live at ~/.config/ringo/contacts.toml; names resolve in the call list and history, and numbers match across formats (01555…, +491555…, 491555…).

[[contacts]]
name = "Alice"
numbers = ["+491555123456", "alice.work"]

Manage them in the TUI (contacts overlay → a/e/d) or with $EDITOR (E).

Hooks

Run shell commands on events; each hook gets context via environment variables and runs in a background thread (errors go to /tmp/ringo-<name>.log).

[[hooks]]
event = "call_incoming"
command = "notify-send 'ringo' \"Call from $(echo $RINGO_EVENT_DATA | jq -r .number)\""
EventTriggerEvent data
profile_loadedProfile loaded, baresip spawned
call_incomingIncoming callcall_id, number, display_name
call_outgoingOutgoing call initiatedcall_id, number
call_endedCall closedcall_id, number, direction, duration_secs, reason, error

Each hook receives RINGO_EVENT, RINGO_PROFILE, RINGO_PROFILE_JSON (no password) and RINGO_EVENT_DATA (JSON).

Integrations

Shell completions

Completions are dynamic — profile names complete from your actual profiles under ~/.config/ringo/profiles/.

# fish — ~/.config/fish/config.fish
COMPLETE=fish ringo | source
# bash — ~/.bashrc
source <(COMPLETE=bash ringo)
# zsh — ~/.zshrc
source <(COMPLETE=zsh ringo)

After sourcing, ringo start <Tab> completes profile names.

rofi

cp scripts/ringo-rofi ~/.local/bin/

# sway / i3
bindsym $mod+p exec ringo-rofi

ringo-rofi uses $TERMINAL if set, otherwise tries kitty, alacritty, foot, wezterm, xterm.

tmux

cp scripts/ringo-tmux ~/.local/bin/
ringo-tmux

ringo-tmux uses fzf for multi-select profile picking and opens each selected profile in its own pane within a ringo tmux session. Requires tmux and fzf.

Call history format

One JSON object per line:

{"ts":"2024-01-15 14:30:05","dir":"outgoing","peer":"sip:alice@example.com","duration":"02:05:13","duration_secs":7513}
cat ~/.config/ringo/profiles/<name>/call_history | jq .

Introduction

ringoflow

ringo-flow is a declarative telephony scenario test runner for baresip. You write a scenario as a small Rhai script — bring up SIP agents, place and answer calls, assert on call state, DTMF, audio and HTTP — and run it headlessly, e.g. in CI.

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let dom = env("SIP_DOMAIN");

let a = agent("A", #{
    username: env("A_USER"),
    domain: dom,
    password: env("A_PASS"),
});
let b = agent("B", #{
    username: env("B_USER"),
    domain: dom,
    password: env("B_PASS"),
});

a.register();
b.register();
await_until(|| assert(b.registered).is_true(), "10s");

a.dial(b);
await_until(|| assert(b.state).equals(State::Ringing), "15s");
b.accept();
await_until(|| assert(a.state).equals(State::Established));
a.hangup();
}

Highlights

  • Headless — virtual audio, no devices needed; runs on a build server.
  • Suitessetup / scenario / teardown, each scenario isolated with fresh agents. Select with --scenario, tag with --tag / --exclude-tag, disable with skip, focus with only.
  • Audio — send tones / files and assert what the other side receives (Goertzel tone detection).
  • HTTP — call backend APIs mid-scenario, and stand up a built-in mock server to test webhook-driven call control.

Next steps

The Rust library API is on docs.rs.

Getting started

Install

1. baresip

ringo-flow needs baresip ≥ 3.14 in your $PATH (baresip -v to check). See Supported platforms for install instructions (pacman -S baresip, brew install baresip, …).

2. ringo-flow

Pre-built binaries for Linux and macOS (x86_64 + arm64) are on the releases page — download, extract and put ringo-flow on your $PATH.

From crates.io:

cargo install ringo-flow

From GitHub (no clone needed):

cargo install --git https://github.com/davidborzek/ringo ringo-flow

From a workspace checkout (no install):

cargo run -p ringo-flow -- run scenario.rhai

Run a scenario

Credentials and the SIP domain come from the environment (via env(...)), so nothing sensitive lives in the script:

SIP_DOMAIN=example.com A_USER=alice A_PASS=… B_USER=bob B_PASS=… \
  ringo-flow run scenario.rhai
ringo-flow run scenario.rhai     # one file
ringo-flow run scenarios/        # a directory (all *.rhai, recursively)
ringo-flow check scenario.rhai   # syntax-check only (no baresip)

The exit code is non-zero if any scenario fails.

Useful flags

  • --scenario <pattern> — run a subset by name (re: for a regex).
  • --tag <tag> / --exclude-tag <tag> — filter by tag (repeatable, comma-separated).
  • --env-file FILE — load variables for env(...) (a sibling <scenario>.env is layered on top per file).
  • --logs — print each agent’s SIP signaling at the end.
  • --save-audio — save sent/received WAVs to the working directory.
  • --json — emit NDJSON events (for CI).
  • -q / -v, --no-color.

See ringo-flow run --help for the full list.

Your first scenario

Let’s write a complete test: two agents place, answer and tear down a call. We’ll build it line by line — every concept you need for most scenarios is here.

You’ll need baresip in your $PATH and two SIP accounts.

The whole script

Save this as first.rhai:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let dom = env("SIP_DOMAIN");

let a = agent("A", #{
    username: env("A_USER"),
    domain: dom,
    password: env("A_PASS"),
});
let b = agent("B", #{
    username: env("B_USER"),
    domain: dom,
    password: env("B_PASS"),
});

a.register();
b.register();
await_until(|| assert(a.registered).is_true(), "10s");
await_until(|| assert(b.registered).is_true(), "10s");

a.dial(b);
await_until(|| assert(b.state).equals(State::Ringing), "15s");
b.accept();
await_until(|| assert(a.state).equals(State::Established));

wait(3); // the call must stay up
a.hangup();
await_until(|| assert(a.state).equals(State::Idle), "10s");
}

Run it:

SIP_DOMAIN=example.com A_USER=alice A_PASS=… B_USER=bob B_PASS=… \
  ringo-flow run first.rhai

Line by line

Credentials from the environment. env("SIP_DOMAIN") reads a variable, so no secrets live in the script. Pass them as shown above, or from an --env-file.

Create the agents. agent(name, #{ … }) connects a headless baresip instance and returns a handle you drive with verbs. name is just a label used in the log. See the Agents reference for every config field.

Register, then wait for it. SIP is asynchronous: register() only starts registration. await_until(|| <assertion>, "10s") re-runs the assertion until it holds or the timeout elapses — never sleep and hope. assert(a.registered) reads the agent’s state; .is_true() checks it.

Place the call. a.dial(b) calls B at its address (you can also dial a number or SIP URI as a string). We then wait until B is ringingb.state is one of State::Idle / State::Ringing / State::Established.

Answer and connect. b.accept() answers; both sides become Established. await_until without a timeout uses the default (overridable with default_timeout(...)).

Hold, then hang up. wait(3) holds for three seconds — and fails if an established call drops in that window, so it doubles as a stability check. a.hangup() ends the call; we confirm both return to Idle.

What failure looks like

Assertions report expect … — actual …, and the exit code is non-zero if any assertion fails — so this runs cleanly in CI. Add -v to see every assertion, or --logs to dump each agent’s SIP signaling when something’s off.

Next

Writing scenarios

A scenario is a Rhai script. The top level can be the whole test, or you can register several named scenarios as a suite.

Agents and call control

agent(name, #{ … }) connects a headless baresip instance and returns a handle you drive with verbs — register, dial, accept, hangup, hold, dtmf, transfer, … See Agents for the full set, the config options and the readable state (registered, state, …).

await_until

SIP is asynchronous, so assertions are polled: await_until re-runs an assert(...) until it holds or a timeout elapses. Use it instead of sleeping.

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
a.dial(b);
await_until(|| assert(b.state).equals(State::Ringing), "15s");
}

The matchers — equals, is_true, contains, … — are all on the assertion handle.

Suites: setup / scenario / teardown

setup() runs before each scenario and returns the context passed to it; each scenario(name, body) runs in isolation with fresh agents; teardown() runs after each (even on failure).

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
setup(|| {
    let caller = agent("Caller", #{
        username: env("A_USER"),
        domain: env("SIP_DOMAIN"),
        password: env("A_PASS"),
    });
    caller.register();
    await_until(|| assert(caller.registered).is_true(), "10s");
    #{ caller: caller }
});

scenario("answered call", #{ tags: ["smoke"] }, |ctx| {
    ctx.caller.dial("+49301234567");
    await_until(|| assert(ctx.caller.state).equals(State::Established), "15s");
});
}

Selecting, tagging and skipping

The scenario(name, #{ … }, body) options control which scenarios run:

  • Tags#{ tags: ["smoke"] }, then --tag smoke / --exclude-tag slow.
  • Skip#{ skip: true | "reason" } disables a scenario statically; or call skip("reason") at runtime (e.g. env-gated).
  • Focus#{ only: true } runs only the focused scenario(s), run-wide.

Skipped scenarios are reported but don’t fail the run.

More

Audio testing

ringo-flow runs baresip with virtual audio, so it can both play audio into a call and check what the other side receives — headless, no devices, CI-safe.

Send audio

agent.send_audio(source) switches the agent’s active-call audio source:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
a.send_audio(tone(440));          // a 440 Hz sine tone
a.send_audio(file("prompt.wav")); // a WAV file
a.send_audio(silent());           // stop sending
}

tone, file and silent build an AudioSpec.

Verify what’s received

agent.verify_audio(freq, within) asserts the agent is receiving a tone at freq Hz within the time window (detected with a Goertzel filter):

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
a.send_audio(tone(440));
b.verify_audio(440, "5s"); // B hears A's tone within 5s
}

For a quick two-way check, verify_audio_connection(a, b) sends a tone each way and asserts both arrive:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
verify_audio_connection(a, b);
}

Debugging

Run with --save-audio to write each agent’s sent/received WAVs to the working directory, so you can listen to what actually flowed.

See the Agents → Methods reference for the exact signatures.

HTTP & webhooks

Telephony rarely lives alone — there’s usually a backend that records calls or drives them. ringo-flow can both call an HTTP API mid-scenario and mock one your system under test calls back.

Call an API

http(method, url) makes a request and returns a response you can assert on:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let res = http("GET", env("API_URL") + "/calls/last");
res.expect_status(200);
assert(res.json("from")).equals("+49301234567");
}

res.json("a.b.0.c") walks a dotted JSON path; res.status / res.body / res.header(name) are there too. For requests with headers or a body, pass an options map — see HTTP:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
http("POST", env("API_URL") + "/calls", #{
    headers: #{ "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: #{ to: "+49301234567" },
});
}

Mock a webhook (webhook-driven call control)

Some telephony APIs call your webhook for a call and expect you to answer with the actions to perform. Stand up a built-in mock server, point the API at it, and assert on what it received.

mock_server() starts the server; on(...) answers a route dynamically, json_response builds the body, and last_request / request_count inspect what arrived:

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
let hooks = mock_server();

// Answer the webhook with the call actions to perform.
hooks.on("POST", "/voice", |req| {
    if req.json("event") == "incoming_call" {
        json_response(#{ actions: [ #{ type: "answer" } ] })
    } else {
        json_response(#{ actions: [ #{ type: "hangup" } ] })
    }
});

// Tell the system under test where to send its webhooks.
http("PUT", env("API_URL") + "/config?webhook=" + hooks.url + "/voice");

a.dial(env("API_NUMBER"));

// Wait for the webhook the same way you wait for anything else.
await_until(|| assert(hooks.request_count("/voice")).equals(1), "10s");

let req = hooks.last_request("/voice");
assert(req.json("event")).equals("incoming_call");
}

Notes:

  • The on(...) responder runs on a worker thread, so keep it pure (request → response): no agent verbs inside it.
  • Routes match by exact path or regex("/calls/.*"), and by a method or any ("*" / omit the method). Re-register a route with respond(...) to stage the next answer between webhooks.
  • The server is stopped automatically at the end of the scenario.

See the HTTP mock server and Mock request reference for everything.

Running in CI

ringo-flow is built to run unattended on a build server: it’s headless (virtual audio), exits non-zero on failure, and can emit machine-readable output.

Exit code and output

The process exits non-zero if any scenario fails, so a CI step fails naturally. Add --json for one JSON object per event (NDJSON) instead of the human log:

ringo-flow run scenarios/ --json

Other handy flags: -q (only failures + result), -v (show every assertion), --logs (print each agent’s SIP signaling at the end), --save-audio (dump sent/received WAVs), --no-color.

Credentials and environment

Scenarios read secrets via env(...). Provide them as environment variables, or from a dotenv file:

ringo-flow run scenarios/ --env-file ci.env

A sibling <scenario>.env next to a file is layered on top automatically. Keep real credentials in your CI secret store, not in the repo.

Selecting what to run

Run a whole directory (all *.rhai, recursively) or a subset:

ringo-flow run scenarios/                       # everything
ringo-flow run scenarios/ --scenario "answered" # by name (re: for regex)
ringo-flow run scenarios/ --tag smoke           # by tag
ringo-flow run scenarios/ --exclude-tag slow    # drop tagged ones

See Writing scenarios for tags, skip and only.

Docker

A small image with baresip compiled in is published to GHCR on each release — nothing to install:

docker run --rm --network host \
  -e SIP_DOMAIN=example.com -e A_USER=alice -e A_PASS=… -e B_USER=bob -e B_PASS=… \
  -v "$PWD/scenarios:/scn:ro" \
  ghcr.io/davidborzek/ringo-flow:latest run /scn

--network host is the simplest way to get working SIP/RTP and DNS. Use :latest or pin :<version>. See the README for recordings, dotenv mounting and private-CA TLS.

Scenario structure

scenario(name: string, body: Fn)

Register a named scenario, run in isolation (fresh agents, torn down after). The body may take the setup() context: |ctx| { … }.

Example

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
scenario("answered call", |ctx| {
    ctx.caller.dial(ctx.callee);
    await_until(|| assert(ctx.callee.state).equals(State::Ringing), "15s");
    ctx.callee.accept();
});
}

scenario(name: string, options: map, body: Fn)

Register a scenario with options #{ tags: ["smoke"], skip: true|"reason", only: true }. --tag/--exclude-tag filter by tag; a skipped scenario is reported but not run; if any scenario sets only, only those run.

setup(body: Fn)

Run before each scenario; its return value is passed to the scenario (and teardown) as ctx. Typically creates and registers the agents.

Example

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
setup(|| {
    let caller = agent("Caller", #{ username: env("A_USER"), domain: env("SIP_DOMAIN"), password: env("A_PASS") });
    caller.register();
    #{ caller: caller }
});
}

skip()

Skip the current scenario at runtime (reported, not failed).

skip(reason: string)

Skip the current scenario at runtime with a reason (reported, not failed); e.g. if env("STAGE") != "prod" { skip("prod only") }.

Example

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
if env("STAGE") != "prod" { skip("prod only") }
}

teardown(body: Fn)

Run after each scenario (even on failure); receives the setup context.

Flow and timing

await_until(body: Fn)

Returns any

Re-run the expression until its assertion holds or the default timeout elapses: await_until(|| assert(a.registered).is_true()). Returns the body’s value, so .value() can bind a verified value.

await_until(body: Fn, within: string)

Returns any

Like await_until(body) but with an explicit timeout, e.g. "15s".

Example

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
await_until(|| assert(b.state).equals(State::Ringing), "15s");
}

default_timeout(duration: string)

Set the default await_until timeout for the rest of the script (e.g. "10s").

parallel(tasks: array)

Returns array

Run the given zero-arg closures concurrently and wait for all; returns their results as an array, and fails if any task fails. Use it for independent blocking work, e.g. verify_audio on several agents at once. Tasks may share captured variables (each gets an independent snapshot, so they can’t race). Don’t overlap await_until across tasks; its silencing is global.

wait(seconds: int)

Hold for N seconds; FAILS if a call that is established at the start drops.

Example

#![allow(unused)]
fn main() {
wait(3); // the call must stay up for 3s
}
