Code Review
This pull request introduces a design specification for dynamic Python callable registration in L3+ workers, utilizing cloudpickle for serialization and POSIX shared memory for payload transport. It also updates project metadata and documentation to include cloudpickle as a mandatory runtime dependency. The review feedback identifies a necessary implementation update for the binary registration handler to ensure stale Python residues are cleared during CID reuse for correctness. Furthermore, it was noted that Python files using PEP 585 generic collections must include 'from future import annotations' to maintain compatibility with the target Python 3.9 environment.

The design specifies that for Worker-child handlers, an existing binary CTRL_REGISTER should remove registry[cid] from the dispatch registry to self-heal stale Python residue. This is a critical detail for correctness when reusing CIDs across target types. Please ensure the implementation of the binary CTRL_REGISTER handler in _child_worker_loop is updated to include this pop operation, as the current implementation in worker.py only performs the cascade into the inner worker.

The project targets Python 3.9 and uses PEP 585 generic collections (e.g., dict[int, Any]) in worker.py. Per the general rules, please ensure that from __future__ import annotations is present at the top of all Python files using these type hints to prevent runtime errors when annotations are evaluated at module load time.
References
- In Python projects targeting versions earlier than 3.10 (such as Python 3.9), include 'from future import annotations' at the top of files using PEP 604 union type hints (e.g., 'int | None') or PEP 585 generic collections to prevent runtime errors when annotations are evaluated at module load time.
Summary
Add dynamic Python callable registration for L3+
Worker.register()afterhierarchical child processes have already started.
Previously, Python callables only worked when registered before fork, because
SUB workers and L4+ Worker children only saw the parent registry through the
fork-time copy-on-write snapshot. This PR adds a serialized Python callable
control path so post-start registrations can be broadcast to already-running
Python-capable children.
What Changed

While validating this PR, CI exposed a few platform-specific issues that are
included here so the PR can go green:
SharedMemory.sizemay report the page-rounded shm mapping size, soPython callable payload validation now checks that the header-declared payload
fits within the shm instead of requiring equality.
