Summary
Fixes a TOCTOU race condition where the namespace filter was applied after releasing threading.RLock, creating a window where concurrent mutations to _actors (via discover() or clear()) could corrupt the iteration state.
Closes #8588
9dc329f275to6f59253b11Review Summary
Thank you for addressing this TOCTOU race condition — the core fix in
loader.py(moving the namespace filter insidewith self._lock:) is correct and well-motivated. However, there are several blocking issues that must be resolved before this can be merged.Blocking Issues
1. CI:
lintis failing — unused importsThree imports in
features/steps/tdd_actors_loader_lock_filter_steps.pyare never used:ExitStack(fromcontextlib),yaml, andValidationError. These will fail ruff's F401 check. Similarly,yamlis imported but never used intests/actor/test_loader_list_actors_thread_safety.py. Additionally, in the second test method's_list_worker(),all_actors,local, andremoteare assigned but never referenced (F841).2. CI:
unit_testsis failing — wrong TDD tag formatThe BDD feature file uses
@tdd_issue @issue_8660, but CONTRIBUTING.md requires@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_8588— whereNis the bug issue number being fixed (which is#8588, not#8660). The CI quality gate explicitly blocks a bug fix PR closing#8588if@tdd_issue_8588does not appear in the codebase. The@issue_8660tag is non-standard and will not satisfy this gate.3. Branch naming convention violation
Per CONTRIBUTING.md, bug fix branches must follow the pattern
bugfix/mN-<descriptor>. This branch is named8660-move-namespace-filter-inside-lock, which does not conform. For a v3.2.0 (M3) fix it should be something likebugfix/m3-actor-loader-namespace-lock.4. Missing
Type/label on the PRCONTRIBUTING.md requires every PR to carry exactly one
Type/label. This PR has no labels. AddType/Bug.5. Missing Forgejo dependency link (PR blocks issue)
The PR body includes
Closes #8588, but CONTRIBUTING requires a Forgejo dependency where the PR blocks the issue and the issue depends on the PR. This dependency is not set (checked via API). The PR must be added under the issue's "depends on" list (or equivalently, issue #8588 added under PR's "blocks").6. TDD workflow bypass
CONTRIBUTING.md mandates a two-PR TDD workflow for all bug fixes:
tdd/mN-branch introduces the test with@tdd_expected_failand is merged tomasterfirst.bugfix/mN-branch implements the fix, removes@tdd_expected_fail, and is opened as a separate PR.This PR introduces both the test and the fix in a single commit, bypassing the TDD workflow entirely. The feature file did not exist in
masterbefore this branch, and the required@tdd_issue_8588tag was never present with@tdd_expected_failin a prior merged commit. This is why the CI quality gate is blocking — it detects no prior@tdd_issue_8588test.Non-Blocking Suggestions
_error_collectoris defined instep_when_parallel_listbut never started as a thread or called. Remove it to keep the code clean.type: ignorecomments: The 22# type: ignore[attr-defined]annotations oncontext.xxxaccesses are acceptable in Behave step files (the BehaveContextobject is dynamic), but consider adding a typed context helper class to reduce the noise.What is correct
src/cleveragents/actor/loader.pyis exactly right — moving the filter inside the lock is the correct fix.### Fixedsection.ISSUES CLOSED: #8588) are correct.Automated by CleverAgents Bot

📋 Estimate: tier 1.
7-file change with +439/-6 lines. The core fix is small (moving namespace filter inside threading.RLock in list_actors()), but the bulk of the diff is new concurrency regression tests (BDD + unit). Concurrency test correctness is non-trivial — timing-sensitive assertions, multiple interacting threads — pushing this past tier 0. Multi-file scope and new test logic warrant tier 1. CI failures are all uniform infrastructure failures (Docker daemon misconfiguration on runners), not code issues.

ci-not-ready.Address CI lint + unit_tests failures on the namespace-lock test suite: - Step file: drop unused imports (yaml, ExitStack, ValidationError) and unused noqa directives flagged by ruff F401/RUF100; rewrite the collected-errors list to use iterable unpacking (RUF005); register the "I create an ActorLoader with initial actors from multiple namespaces" step under both @given and @when so scenario 3 is no longer reported as undefined; remove the dead _error_collector inner function the reviewer flagged. - Step regex fix: the concurrent-modifications step pattern ended with '' (two single quotes) instead of `` (two backticks), so it never matched the feature file's `(triggering ``discover()``)` literal. - Test fixtures: add the required `description` field to _make_actor_yaml in both the BDD step file and tests/actor/test_loader_list_actors_thread_safety.py so ActorConfigSchema validation passes (previously every scenario errored at discover() with "description: Field required"). - Concurrent worker names: collapse three-slash actor names like "conc/ns{i % 2}/concurrent_{i}" to the single-slash form "conc/concurrent_{i}" required by the schema's namespaced-name rule. - Test file: drop unused `yaml` import and three unused F841 assignments in _list_worker; apply ruff format. - Feature file: switch the @issue_8660 TDD tag to @tdd_issue_8588 to match the CONTRIBUTING.md tag convention for the bug issue this PR closes.
