Bug Report: [concurrency] — SkillService Uses Unprotected OrderedDict as DI Singleton

Severity Assessment

Impact: SkillService stores skills in a plain OrderedDict with no locking. It is registered as a providers.Singleton. Concurrent add_skill(), remove_skill(), and list_skills() calls can race on self._skills, causing RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration or silent data loss.
Likelihood: Medium — skills may be registered/unregistered concurrently during parallel plan execution.
Priority: High

Location

File: src/cleveragents/application/services/skill_service.py
Also: src/cleveragents/application/container.py:743
Function/Class: SkillService.init
Lines: skill_service.py:50-55, container.py:743

Description

SkillService is registered as a DI Singleton:

# container.py line 743
skill_service = providers.Singleton(...)

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

class SkillService:
    def __init__(self, ...):
        self._skills: OrderedDict[str, Skill] = OrderedDict()  # NO LOCK
        self._config_paths: dict[str, str] = {}                 # NO LOCK
        self._created_at: dict[str, datetime] = {}              # NO LOCK
        self._updated_at: dict[str, datetime] = {}              # NO LOCK

There is no threading.Lock or threading.RLock anywhere in skill_service.py.

Evidence

# skill_service.py lines 50-55
self._skills: OrderedDict[str, Skill] = OrderedDict()  # No lock
self._config_paths: dict[str, str] = {}                # No lock

# container.py line 743
skill_service = providers.Singleton(...)

# grep result
# grep -n "threading|lock|Lock" skill_service.py -> no output

Expected Behavior

SkillService should use threading.RLock() to protect all access to _skills, _config_paths, _created_at, and _updated_at, consistent with other Singleton services in the codebase.

Actual Behavior

Concurrent skill registration/removal can corrupt the service state.

Suggested Fix

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

TDD Note

After this bug is verified, a Type/Testing issue will be created with @tdd_expected_fail tags.

## Bug Report: [concurrency] — SkillService Uses Unprotected OrderedDict as DI Singleton ### Severity Assessment - **Impact**: `SkillService` stores skills in a plain `OrderedDict` with no locking. It is registered as a `providers.Singleton`. Concurrent `add_skill()`, `remove_skill()`, and `list_skills()` calls can race on `self._skills`, causing `RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration` or silent data loss. - **Likelihood**: Medium — skills may be registered/unregistered concurrently during parallel plan execution. - **Priority**: High ### Location - **File**: src/cleveragents/application/services/skill_service.py - **Also**: src/cleveragents/application/container.py:743 - **Function/Class**: SkillService.__init__ - **Lines**: skill_service.py:50-55, container.py:743 ### Description SkillService is registered as a DI Singleton: ```python # container.py line 743 skill_service = providers.Singleton(...) ``` But all state is stored in plain dicts with no locking: ```python class SkillService: def __init__(self, ...): self._skills: OrderedDict[str, Skill] = OrderedDict() # NO LOCK self._config_paths: dict[str, str] = {} # NO LOCK self._created_at: dict[str, datetime] = {} # NO LOCK self._updated_at: dict[str, datetime] = {} # NO LOCK ``` There is no `threading.Lock` or `threading.RLock` anywhere in `skill_service.py`. ### Evidence ```python # skill_service.py lines 50-55 self._skills: OrderedDict[str, Skill] = OrderedDict() # No lock self._config_paths: dict[str, str] = {} # No lock # container.py line 743 skill_service = providers.Singleton(...) ``` ```python # grep result # grep -n "threading|lock|Lock" skill_service.py -> no output ``` ### Expected Behavior SkillService should use `threading.RLock()` to protect all access to `_skills`, `_config_paths`, `_created_at`, and `_updated_at`, consistent with other Singleton services in the codebase. ### Actual Behavior Concurrent skill registration/removal 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
