Examples are documentation-first programs. They show how the public API is expected to be used in small readable scenarios. They are executed by the validation script to avoid bit rot, but the regression guarantees live in the tests/ folder.

Rules

No external service is required.
No fixed local path is used.
No network listener is opened.
Examples avoid panic() as a control-flow pattern.
Cancellation remains cooperative; examples show jobs checking ctx.done() when they may run for more than a tiny unit of work.

Examples

basic_group.v: first error propagation and cooperative sibling cancellation.
basic_task.v: one value-returning task consumed with wait().
worker_pool.v: fixed concurrency and explicit try_submit() backpressure.
bounded_pool_submit.v: wait for pool admission with a timeout or context while jobs keep using the pool context.
periodic.v: a blocking every() loop stopped by context cancellation.
timeout.v: one cooperative job bounded by with_timeout().
net_http/: synthetic net.http request/response processing with Pool.
net_websocket/: in-memory websocket.Message processing. It is not an end-to-end websocket server example.
mcp/: in-memory MCP request/response dispatch with Task[T].
veb/: synthetic veb.Context response lifecycle with Task[T].

Use tools/validate.sh for the guarded module validation path. It isolates V temporary/cache directories and keeps validation runners serialized.
