+### Fixed
+- **CI/CD Segmentation Fault**
+  - Fixed segmentation fault in CI pipeline caused by nested multiprocessing conflicts
+  - Added platform-specific multiprocessing configuration (use `spawn` method on Linux)
+  - Separated performance tests to run serially (without pytest-xdist) to avoid multiprocessing conflicts

+### Changed
+- Performance tests now run separately from main test suite to prevent multiprocessing conflicts
+- Updated pytest configuration to use `spawn` multiprocessing method on Linux (CI environment)
+- Regular tests still run in parallel for optimal performance; only performance tests run serially
+
+### Technical Details
+- Root cause: pytest-xdist worker processes + ProcessPoolExecutor created nested multiprocessing
+- Solution: Force `spawn()` instead of `fork()` on Linux + isolate multiprocessing tests
+- Files modified: `tests/conftest.py`, `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `tests/performance/test_cpu_bound_multiprocessing.py`

+# CI/CD Segmentation Fault Fix
+
+## Problem
+The CI/CD pipeline was experiencing segmentation faults when running tests with pytest-xdist parallel execution. The issue occurred at ~1h 58m into the test run, causing the pipeline to hang indefinitely.
+
+## Root Cause
+The segfault was caused by **nested multiprocessing** conflicts:
+
+1. **pytest-xdist** spawns worker processes for parallel test execution (`-n auto`)
+2. **Performance tests** (`test_cpu_bound_multiprocessing.py`) use `ProcessPoolExecutor` internally
+3. On Linux, the default `fork()` method for multiprocessing can cause issues when combined with pytest-xdist
+4. This created a resource conflict resulting in segmentation faults
+
+## Solution
+
+### 1. Fixed Multiprocessing Start Method (tests/conftest.py)
+Added platform-specific multiprocessing configuration to use `spawn` instead of `fork` on Linux:
+
+```python
+def pytest_configure(config):
+    """Configure pytest markers and multiprocessing settings."""
+    import sys
+    import multiprocessing
+
+    # Fix multiprocessing segfaults on Linux (CI environment)
+    if sys.platform == "linux":
+        try:
+            multiprocessing.set_start_method("spawn", force=True)
+        except RuntimeError:
+            pass  # Method already set
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- `fork()` copies the parent process memory, which can conflict with pytest-xdist's worker processes
+- `spawn()` starts a fresh Python interpreter, avoiding memory conflicts
+- Only applies on Linux where fork is the default (macOS/Windows already use spawn)
+
+### 2. Separated Performance Tests (.github/workflows/ci.yml)
+Moved performance tests to run **serially** (without pytest-xdist) to avoid nested multiprocessing:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Run comprehensive test suite
+  run: |
+    python -m pytest tests/ \
+      --ignore=tests/performance/ \
+      -n auto \  # Parallel execution for non-performance tests
+      ...
+
+- name: Run performance tests (no parallel execution)
+  run: |
+    python -m pytest tests/performance/ \
+      --timeout=600 \  # No -n auto flag
+      -v \
+      --tb=short
+```
+
+### 3. Added Test Marker
+Added `@pytest.mark.no_parallel` marker for tests that use multiprocessing internally:
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+@pytest.mark.no_parallel
+async def test_gil_contention_demonstration():
+    ...
+```
+
+## Files Modified
+1. **tests/conftest.py** - Added multiprocessing configuration
+2. **.github/workflows/ci.yml** - Separated performance tests from parallel runs
+3. **tests/performance/test_cpu_bound_multiprocessing.py** - Added `no_parallel` marker
+
+## Benefits
+- ✅ Eliminates segmentation faults in CI/CD
+- ✅ Maintains parallel execution for regular tests (faster)
+- ✅ Runs performance tests safely in serial mode
+- ✅ Platform-specific fix (only applies on Linux)
+- ✅ No performance regression for non-performance tests
+
+## Testing
+To test locally:
+
+```bash
+# Run regular tests in parallel (should work)
+pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/performance/ -n auto -v
+
+# Run performance tests serially (should work)
+pytest tests/performance/ -v
+
+# Run all tests
+pytest tests/ -v
+```
+
+## Expected CI/CD Behavior
+- Regular tests: Run in parallel with pytest-xdist (~10-15 minutes)
+- Performance tests: Run serially after regular tests (~5-10 minutes)
+- Total time: ~20-25 minutes (down from 2+ hours with hangs)
+- No more segmentation faults ✅
+
