Bug Report: [concurrency] — CorrectionService Uses Unprotected Dicts as DI Singleton

Severity Assessment

  • Impact: CorrectionService stores all state in plain Python dicts (_corrections, _impacts, _attempts, _results) with no locking. It is registered as a providers.Singleton in the DI container. Concurrent correction requests (e.g., from parallel subplan execution) can race on these dicts, causing lost updates, duplicate entries, or RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration.
  • Likelihood: Medium — triggered during parallel plan corrections.
  • Priority: High

Location

  • File: src/cleveragents/application/services/correction_service.py
  • Also: src/cleveragents/application/container.py:884
  • Function/Class: CorrectionService.init
  • Lines: correction_service.py:82-90, container.py:884

Description

CorrectionService is registered as a DI Singleton:

# container.py line 884
correction_service = providers.Singleton(CorrectionService, ...)

But all state is stored in plain dicts with no locking:

class CorrectionService:
    def __init__(self, ...):
        self._corrections: dict[str, CorrectionRequest] = {}   # NO LOCK
        self._impacts: dict[str, CorrectionImpact] = {}        # NO LOCK
        self._attempts: dict[str, list[CorrectionAttempt]] = {} # NO LOCK
        self._results: dict[str, CorrectionResult] = {}        # NO LOCK

Concurrent request_correction() calls from multiple threads will race on _corrections and _attempts.

Evidence

# correction_service.py lines 82-90
self._corrections: dict[str, CorrectionRequest] = {}   # No lock
self._impacts: dict[str, CorrectionImpact] = {}        # No lock
self._attempts: dict[str, list[CorrectionAttempt]] = {} # No lock
self._results: dict[str, CorrectionResult] = {}        # No lock

# container.py line 884
correction_service = providers.Singleton(CorrectionService, ...)

Expected Behavior

CorrectionService should use threading.RLock() to protect all dict mutations, consistent with AutonomyController, AutonomyGuardrailService, and CostBudgetService in the same codebase.

Actual Behavior

Concurrent correction requests can corrupt the service state.

Suggested Fix

Add self._lock = threading.RLock() and wrap all public methods with with self._lock:.

## Bug Report: [concurrency] — CorrectionService Uses Unprotected Dicts as DI Singleton ### Severity Assessment - **Impact**: `CorrectionService` stores all state in plain Python dicts (`_corrections`, `_impacts`, `_attempts`, `_results`) with no locking. It is registered as a `providers.Singleton` in the DI container. Concurrent correction requests (e.g., from parallel subplan execution) can race on these dicts, causing lost updates, duplicate entries, or `RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration`. - **Likelihood**: Medium — triggered during parallel plan corrections. - **Priority**: High ### Location - **File**: src/cleveragents/application/services/correction_service.py - **Also**: src/cleveragents/application/container.py:884 - **Function/Class**: CorrectionService.__init__ - **Lines**: correction_service.py:82-90, container.py:884 ### Description CorrectionService is registered as a DI Singleton: ```python # container.py line 884 correction_service = providers.Singleton(CorrectionService, ...) ``` But all state is stored in plain dicts with no locking: ```python class CorrectionService: def __init__(self, ...): self._corrections: dict[str, CorrectionRequest] = {} # NO LOCK self._impacts: dict[str, CorrectionImpact] = {} # NO LOCK self._attempts: dict[str, list[CorrectionAttempt]] = {} # NO LOCK self._results: dict[str, CorrectionResult] = {} # NO LOCK ``` Concurrent `request_correction()` calls from multiple threads will race on `_corrections` and `_attempts`. ### Evidence ```python # correction_service.py lines 82-90 self._corrections: dict[str, CorrectionRequest] = {} # No lock self._impacts: dict[str, CorrectionImpact] = {} # No lock self._attempts: dict[str, list[CorrectionAttempt]] = {} # No lock self._results: dict[str, CorrectionResult] = {} # No lock # container.py line 884 correction_service = providers.Singleton(CorrectionService, ...) ``` ### Expected Behavior CorrectionService should use `threading.RLock()` to protect all dict mutations, consistent with `AutonomyController`, `AutonomyGuardrailService`, and `CostBudgetService` in the same codebase. ### Actual Behavior Concurrent correction requests can corrupt the service state. ### Suggested Fix Add `self._lock = threading.RLock()` and wrap all public methods with `with self._lock:`. ### Category concurrency ### TDD Note After this bug is verified, a Type/Testing issue will be created with @tdd_expected_fail tags. --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: Bug Hunt Pool | Agent: bug-hunt-pool-supervisor
