Bug Report

Metadata

Module: src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py
Class: LangGraph
Method: _setup_node_stream_subscriptions
Severity: High (resource leak, prevents garbage collection)
TDD Testing Issue: #10396

Summary

LangGraph._setup_node_stream_subscriptions() calls observable.subscribe(observer) but discards the returned Disposable object. In RxPY, subscribe() returns a disposable that must be called to unsubscribe. Since the disposables are never stored, stop() cannot clean them up, causing a resource leak and preventing garbage collection of the LangGraph instance.

Code Evidence

In src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py (lines ~152-169):

def _setup_node_stream_subscriptions(self) -> None:
    for node_name in self.nodes:
        stream_name = f"__{self.name}_node_{node_name}__"
        if stream_name in self.stream_router.observables:
            observable = self.stream_router.observables[stream_name]

            def on_next(_msg: Any) -> None:
                pass

            def on_error(error: Exception, name: str = stream_name) -> None:
                self.logger.error("Error in node stream %s: %s", name, error)

            def on_completed() -> None:
                pass

            observer = Observer(
                on_next=on_next, on_error=on_error, on_completed=on_completed
            )
            observable.subscribe(observer)  # ← Disposable DISCARDED!

And stop() (lines ~260-262):

def stop(self) -> None:
    self.is_running = False
    # ← No subscription disposal!

Impact

Resource leak: Node stream subscriptions remain active after stop() is called
Memory leak: The on_error closure captures self (via self.logger), preventing garbage collection of the LangGraph instance as long as subscriptions are active
Unexpected behavior: Node executors may continue processing messages after stop() is called
Observable subjects never complete: The Subject objects in stream_router.streams are never completed, so subscriptions cannot be cleaned up by the observable completing

Fix

Store the disposables returned by subscribe() and dispose them in stop():

def __init__(self, ...):
    ...
    self._subscriptions: list[Any] = []  # Store disposables
    ...

def _setup_node_stream_subscriptions(self) -> None:
    for node_name in self.nodes:
        stream_name = f"__{self.name}_node_{node_name}__"
        if stream_name in self.stream_router.observables:
            observable = self.stream_router.observables[stream_name]
            # ...
            observer = Observer(on_next=on_next, on_error=on_error, on_completed=on_completed)
            disposable = observable.subscribe(observer)  # Store disposable
            self._subscriptions.append(disposable)

def stop(self) -> None:
    self.is_running = False
    # Dispose all subscriptions
    for disposable in self._subscriptions:
        with contextlib.suppress(Exception):
            disposable.dispose()
    self._subscriptions.clear()

Acceptance Criteria

LangGraph.__init__ initializes self._subscriptions: list[Any] = []
_setup_node_stream_subscriptions stores each Disposable in self._subscriptions
stop() disposes all subscriptions and clears the list
TDD test from #10396 passes
All existing tests continue to pass
Coverage >= 97%

Subtasks

Add self._subscriptions: list[Any] = [] to __init__
Store disposables in _setup_node_stream_subscriptions
Dispose subscriptions in stop()
Verify TDD test from #10396 now passes
Run nox and verify all tests pass

Implementation Attempt — Tier 3: sonnet — Success

Implemented the RxPy Disposable cleanup fix in src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py.

Changes Made

LangGraph.__init__: Added self._subscriptions: list[Any] = [] to store disposables
_setup_node_stream_subscriptions: Now stores each Disposable returned by observable.subscribe() in self._subscriptions
stop(): Now disposes all stored subscriptions using contextlib.suppress(Exception) and clears the list
New BDD tests: Added features/tdd_langgraph_disposables.feature and features/steps/tdd_langgraph_disposables_steps.py with 4 scenarios covering the fix
