Call semantics, pools, and failures

When to use

Use explicit methods when execution differs from the service default or requires a pool, priority, parallelism, or error path.

Behavior

• function_call invokes the target directly under normal in-process semantics.
• task_pool_call submits work to a named pool; priority_task_pool_call also requires an explicit priority.
• parallel_call expresses concurrent fan-out rather than relying on declaration order.
• An Error stream and error edge represent failure flow; they are not equivalent to a normal data edge.

Example

process_inventory.priority_task_pool_call(
    reserve_inventory,
    pool=inventory_workers,
    priority=10,
)
process_inventory.error_to(inventory_error)
