  • EventBus protocol adds unsubscribe(subscription_id) -> bool
  • subscribe() now returns EventSubID (ULID string)
  • ReactiveEventBus, LoggingEventBus track subscriptions by ULID for targeted removal
  • EventBusBridge.start() now gets proper subscription ID from subscribe()

Closes #10356

Add individual handler unsubscription to the EventBus protocol and all
implementations (ReactiveEventBus, LoggingEventBus, TrackingEventBus).

Changes:
- EventBus protocol adds `unsubscribe(subscription_id) -> bool` and changes
  `subscribe()` return type from None to EventSubID (ULID string)
- EventSubID = str type alias for subscription IDs
- ReactiveEventBus stores subscriptions as (sub_id, handler) tuples per
  EventType, enabling individual unsubscription by ULID
- LoggingEventBus uses the same pattern for consistent protocol conformance
- TrackingEventBus mock updated with subscribe/unsubscribe support
- EventBusBridge.start() now receives a proper subscription ID return from
  subscribe(), resolving existing subscription handle tracking
- robot/helper_event_bus.py gain unsubscribe test commands

This resolves issue #10356 and makes all bus implementations satisfy the
full EventBus protocol with per-handler lifecycle management.

Review Summary

This PR implements subscription-ID-based unsubscribe() across EventBus protocol, ReactiveEventBus, LoggingEventBus, and TrackingEventBus. The core design is sound, but there are several blocking issues that must be resolved before this can be approved.


CI Status

CI is currently failing on two required gates:

  • CI / lint — failing after 1m31s
  • CI / unit_tests — failing after 5m19s
  • CI / coverage — skipped (depends on unit_tests)
  • CI / status-check — failing (rollup of above)

All CI gates must pass before this PR can be approved. Please fix the lint and unit test failures before re-requesting review.


BLOCKING Issues

1. EventBusBridge.stop() does not actually unsubscribe (functional regression)

In src/cleveragents/a2a/events.py, EventBusBridge.stop() was written expecting subscribe() to return a disposable object with a .dispose() method. After this PR, subscribe() returns a ULID string. Strings do not have .dispose(), so hasattr(self._subscription, "dispose") is False, and stop() silently sets _subscription = None without calling unsubscribe(). The bridge never removes its handler from the bus. This is a functional regression — EventBusBridge.stop() now leaks the subscription instead of cleaning it up.

2. EventBusBridge.start() calls subscribe() with wrong arity

The updated EventBus.subscribe() requires two arguments: (event_type, handler). The start() call self._event_bus.subscribe(self._on_domain_event) passes only one argument and will raise TypeError at runtime. If the intent is to subscribe to all event types, the protocol needs a subscribe_all() method or a sentinel EventType.

3. No Behave BDD unit tests for the new unsubscribe() behavior

features/event_bus.feature has 31 scenarios covering the old API but zero scenarios for the new behavior:

  • No scenario verifying subscribe() returns a non-empty string
  • No scenario verifying unsubscribe(sub_id) returns True on first call
  • No scenario verifying the unsubscribed handler is not called on subsequent emit()
  • No scenario verifying unsubscribe(sub_id) returns False on repeated call
  • No scenario verifying unsubscribe() on an unknown ID returns False

The step definitions in features/steps/event_bus_steps.py still call subscribe() without capturing the return value, so the new return type is untested at unit level.

Furthermore, the blocked-by TDD issue #10354 is still open and no @tdd_issue_10354 regression test tag appears in any Behave scenario. Per project policy, bug fixes must have a companion @tdd_issue_N regression test.

4. CHANGELOG not updated

CHANGELOG.md was not modified in this commit. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, every commit that changes user-visible behaviour must include a CHANGELOG entry under [Unreleased].

5. No milestone assigned

Linked issue #10356 is in milestone v3.2.0. The PR has no milestone set. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, the PR must be assigned to the same milestone as the linked issue.

6. No Type/ label

The PR has no labels. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, exactly one Type/ label must be applied. This is a bug fix, so Type/Bug is appropriate.

7. Commit footer missing ISSUES CLOSED: #10356

The commit message says "This resolves issue #10356" in prose, but CONTRIBUTING.md requires the exact footer format ISSUES CLOSED: #N.

8. Interface departs from accepted acceptance criteria without documented rationale

Issue #10356 specifies unsubscribe(event_type, handler). This PR implements unsubscribe(subscription_id). While the subscription-ID approach is arguably better, it departs from the accepted specification. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, departures from accepted acceptance criteria require either updating the issue criteria before implementing, or an ADR documenting the rationale. Neither was done.


Non-Blocking Observations

  • Suggestion: EventSubID = str could be a NewType("EventSubID", str) for better type-site safety, preventing accidental use of arbitrary strings where a subscription ID is expected.
  • Suggestion: TrackingEventBus.subscribe() in features/mocks/uko_indexer_mocks.py generates IDs from handler.__qualname__, meaning the same handler registered twice yields the same key and the second call silently overwrites the first. Use str(ULID()) or a counter for guaranteed uniqueness.
  • Note: The integration test helpers in robot/helper_event_bus.py are thorough and well-structured — the test logic itself is correct and serves as good documentation of the intended behavior.

Suggestion (non-blocking): subscribe() generates non-unique IDs when the same handler is registered twice.

The subscription ID is derived from handler.__qualname__, meaning registering the same callable twice yields the same key and the second call silently overwrites the first subscription entry. This will cause confusing test failures in any scenario that registers the same handler twice.

Consider using str(ULID()) or a monotonic counter to guarantee uniqueness, matching the production implementation:

from ulid import ULID
sub_id = str(ULID())

BLOCKING: start() calls subscribe() with only one argument; the updated protocol requires two.

The EventBus.subscribe() signature is now subscribe(self, event_type: EventType, handler: Callable[[DomainEvent], None]) -> EventSubID. This call passes only self._on_domain_event, omitting event_type. This will raise TypeError at runtime.

If the intent is to receive all event types, one option is to subscribe individually for every EventType member:

def start(self) -> None:
    if hasattr(self._event_bus, "subscribe"):
        self._sub_ids = [
            self._event_bus.subscribe(et, self._on_domain_event)
            for et in EventType
        ]
        logger.info("a2a.event_bridge.started")

Alternatively, introduce a subscribe_all(handler) convenience method in the protocol. Please clarify the intended semantics and fix accordingly.

BLOCKING: EventBusBridge.stop() silently leaks the subscription after this PR.

Before this PR, subscribe() returned None. After this PR, it returns a ULID string. The existing stop() checks hasattr(self._subscription, "dispose") — a plain Python str has no .dispose() attribute, so this check is always False. The method sets self._subscription = None without ever calling self._event_bus.unsubscribe(self._subscription). The handler registered in start() remains permanently subscribed even after stop() is called.

Fix by replacing the body of stop() with:

def stop(self) -> None:
    """Unsubscribe from the event bus."""
    if self._subscription is not None:
        if hasattr(self._event_bus, "unsubscribe"):
            self._event_bus.unsubscribe(self._subscription)
        self._subscription = None
        logger.info("a2a.event_bridge.stopped")

[GROOMED] Quality analysis complete.

Checks performed:

  • Duplicate detection: HIGH CONCERN. PR #11202 and PR #11210 have the SAME title ("fix(events): add unsubscribe() to EventBus protocol and implementations"), same additions (194), same deletions (20), same changed files (6). Both address issue #10356 with different branch names:
    • PR #11202: branch "pr-fix-10356-unsubscribe-eventbus" (sha c73543ef)
    • PR #11210: branch "pr-10356" (sha eb74094a)
      Different SHAs but otherwise identical metadata -- author should consolidate.
  • Hierarchy: Body contains "Closes #10356" auto-close keyword. POST /issues/11202/dependencies returned IsErrRepoNotExist on prior attempts -- blocking link could not be created via API.
  • Activity / staleness: PR is fresh (5/13 creation). HAL9001 requested review, no formal REVIEW object found yet. Not stale.
  • Labels (State / Type / Priority): State/In Progress (843) and Type/Bug (849) present from earlier grooming pass. Missing Priority/Critical and MoSCoW labels -- recommended for a protocol-level API addition.
  • Label contradictions: None. Current labels are non-conflicting.
  • Milestone: Pr has NO milestone assigned. Consider assigning based on what #10356 is filed against.
  • Closure consistency: Body contains "Closes #10356" -- if PR merges, issue will auto-close. However with the duplicate partner (#11210), only one can effectively claim the close.
  • Epic completeness: N/A -- this is a PR, not an Epic.
  • Tracking cleanup: N/A -- not an Automation Tracking issue.

Fixes applied: None needed -- State/In Progress and Type/Bug already present.

Notes:

  • DUPLICATE OF PR #11210: Same title, same stats, both addressing EventBus unsubscribe(). Choose one PR to keep (preferably the older branch or the one with better test coverage) and close the other as duplicate.
  • Neither PR body has a proper Closes/Fixes keyword in standard format -- they are bracket-style references (#10356). The actual keyword line "Closes #10356" was found but confirm it renders correctly.
  • Branch names use non-standard "pr-" prefix. Project convention uses bugfix/ or fix/. Consider renaming if keeping either PR.
  • Dependencies API unavailable for creating blocking PR link.
