Research direction

Start by locating the PoolManager implementation and the closure call path described in the issue. Inspect how pool state is shared when closures run on multiple threads, then reproduce the concurrent case before choosing a thread-safety approach. Done means concurrent closure calls no longer expose unsafe PoolManager behavior, with coverage for that case.
