Run kernels as deepnote_core.kernel.DeepnoteKernel, set with c.IPKernelApp.kernel_class in the IPython profile. It fixes two ways a restart waited 2.5 s for jupyter_client to SIGTERM the old kernel: - ipykernel stops the IOPub thread before the control thread, which may still be flushing through it. With history off, as in our profile, about half of restarts hit this. An exit hook registered after ipykernel's own stops the control thread first. - ipykernel's shutdown keeps signalling child processes that have exited but were never reaped (Linux only). The kernel now skips them.

ipykernel 6 registers the control handler before it creates _control_lock, so a control request that is already waiting fails with a TraitError and gets no reply.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Keep one control lock throughout startup.
In supported ipykernel 6 versions, super().start() registers the control callback and then replaces _control_lock. If an early control request acquires the first lock, a later request can acquire the replacement lock and run concurrently. Preserve the same lock for both requests. The current test replaces IPythonKernel.start, so it does not catch this case. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Summary
Before: about half of kernel restarts took about 2.6 s, and every Run notebook starts with a restart. The old kernel never exited by itself, so jupyter_client killed it with SIGTERM after 2.5 s. On Linux, restarting a kernel that had started a child process always took 2.6 s.
After: the old kernel exits by itself, in under a second.
Kernels now run
deepnote_core.kernel.DeepnoteKernel, a subclass of ipykernel'sIPythonKernel, set withc.IPKernelApp.kernel_classin the IPython profile.What's inside
deepnote_core/kernel.pyfixes two ipykernel shutdown bugs:ipython_kernel_config.pysets the kernel class.IPKernelAppis still inget_ipython().config, so tqdm and transformers still detect a notebook, andisinstance(kernel, IPythonKernel)still holds. Only the kernel object's class name changes.deepnote_toolkit, because it's loaded before the shell exists.ipykernel<7. This class can be removed once an upstream fix reaches our pods.Testing
tests/unit/test_kernel.pyboots a kernel with the toolkit's profile. It checks that the kernel is aDeepnoteKernel, and that a kernel with an exited, unreaped child shuts down without SIGTERM. It also tests the zombie filter and the exit hook.To check on the review app
Restart a kernel about 20 times, including Run notebook. The Jupyter log should have no "Kernel is taking too long to finish, terminating" line. That line is logged at DEBUG level.
