What

Reset $_current_mocks and $_last_call_for when a child thread is created under ithreads.

Why

The XS CLONE handler correctly starts each child interpreter with all ops unmocked (is_mocked = 0), but the Perl-level $_current_mocks hash was deep-copied with stale entries from the parent. This caused mock_file_check() in child threads to croak "-X is already mocked" for any op that was mocked in the parent thread.

How

  • Added _clone_init() in FileCheck.pm that resets both $_current_mocks and $_last_call_for
  • Called from XS CLONE via call_pv() after the OverloadFTOps struct is allocated

Testing

  • New t/ithreads-clone.t — verifies child threads can mock independently, parent state doesn't leak, parent mock survives child exit. Skips on non-threaded perls.
  • All existing tests pass.

The XS CLONE handler correctly starts child threads with all ops
unmocked (is_mocked=0), but the Perl-level $_current_mocks hash
was not cleared. This caused mock_file_check() in child threads
to croak "already mocked" for ops mocked in the parent.

Add _clone_init() called from XS CLONE to reset $_current_mocks
and $_last_call_for. Add ithreads-clone.t (skips on non-threaded
perls).

The previous approach called call_pv("_clone_init") from XS CLONE to
reset Perl-level mock state, but call_pv during CLONE is unreliable
on some Perl builds (ubuntu CI failure).

New approach: add _xs_is_mocked() query function and make
mock_file_check() itself resilient — when it finds a stale entry in
$_current_mocks but XS says the op is not mocked, it clears the
stale entry and proceeds. This works regardless of CLONE timing.

Older perldocker/perl-tester images (5.10-5.22) no longer ship cpm
pre-installed, causing CI failures on all PR branches. Fall back to
cpanm --installdeps when cpm is not found.
