Research direction

Reproduce the issue by setting HalyardTupleExprEvaluation.MAX_QUEUE_SIZE to 1 and evaluating "ASK {}" with HalyardTupleExprEvaluation.evaluateTupleExpr(root.pipe, expr, bindings) on a background thread. Trace the queue and evaluation flow to identify the deadlock, then verify that the same evaluation completes without blocking.
