Problem
s3proxy pods crash with exit 139 and no Python traceback under backup load. Faulthandler traces from today's three crashes (2026-07-16) all show the same thing: when the backend drops connections under load, an fd gets closed while uvloop is still polling it — libuv hits an assertion in
uv__io_polland callsabort(), killing every in-flight upload on the pod.uvloop 0.22.1, Python 3.14.6.
Change
Skip
uvloop.install()unlessS3PROXY_UVLOOP=1. Stock asyncio is slightly slower but has no native abort path.
