Research direction

Start by auditing the Crucible Rust code for tokio::Mutex usage across await points and cancellation through tokio::select!, using the linked PRs and cancellation references as background. Done means the audit identifies affected code and establishes what remediation is needed, but the issue does not name files or tests to begin with.
