## Summary
Fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/11207.
The server would hang after handling a shutdown request on
`IoThreads::join()` because a global sender (`MESSENGER`, used to send
`window/showMessage` notifications) would remain allocated even after
the event loop finished, which kept the writer I/O thread channel open.
To fix this, I've made a few structural changes to `ruff server`. I've
wrapped the send/receive channels and thread join handle behind a new
struct, `Connection`, which facilitates message sending and receiving,
and also runs `IoThreads::join()` after the event loop finishes. To
control the number of sender channels, the `Connection` wraps the sender
channel in an `Arc` and only allows the creation of a wrapper type,
`ClientSender`, which hold a weak reference to this `Arc` instead of
direct channel access. The wrapper type implements the channel methods
directly to prevent access to the inner channel (which would allow the
channel to be cloned). ClientSender's function is analogous to
[`WeakSender` in
`tokio`](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/sync/mpsc/struct.WeakSender.html).
Additionally, the receiver channel cannot be accessed directly - the
`Connection` only exposes an iterator over it.
These changes will guarantee that all channels are closed before the I/O
threads are joined.
## Test Plan
Repeatedly open and close an editor utilizing `ruff server` while
observing the task monitor. The net total amount of open `ruff`
instances should be zero once all editor windows have closed.
The following logs should also appear after the server is shut down:

The Ruff Language Server
Welcome! ruff server is a language server that powers editor integrations with Ruff. The job of the language server is to
listen for requests from the client, (in this case, the code editor of your choice) and call into Ruff's linter and formatter
crates to create real-time diagnostics or formatted code, which is then sent back to the client. It also tracks configuration
files in your editor's workspace, and will refresh its in-memory configuration whenever those files are modified.
Setup
We have specific setup instructions depending on your editor. If you don't see your editor on this list and would like a setup guide, please open an issue.
- Visual Studio Code: Install the Ruff extension from the VS Code Marketplace. The language server used by the extension will be, by default, the one in your actively-installed
ruffbinary. If you don't haveruffinstalled and haven't provided a path to the extension, it comes with a bundledruffversion that it will use instead. Since the new Ruff language server has not yet been stabilized, you will need to use the pre-release version of the extension and enable theExperimental Serversetting. - Neovim: See the Neovim setup guide.
