Bug Report: [concurrency] — VectorStoreService._cache Unprotected in Singleton Context

Severity Assessment

Impact: VectorStoreService._cache is a plain dict[int, ...] with no locking. The acms_vector_store_service is registered as providers.Singleton, meaning all concurrent ACMS context queries share the same instance. Concurrent search(), refresh_for_plan(), and invalidate() calls can race on _cache, causing RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration or reading a partially-updated cache entry.
Likelihood: Medium — triggered during parallel plan execution with concurrent ACMS context assembly.
Priority: High

Location

File: src/cleveragents/application/services/vector_store_service.py
Also: src/cleveragents/application/container.py:610
Lines: vector_store_service.py:100-102

Description

The DI container registers the ACMS vector store as a Singleton:

# container.py lines 610-611
acms_vector_store_service = providers.Singleton(
    VectorStoreService,
    ...
)

But VectorStoreService._cache has no locking:

class VectorStoreService:
    def __init__(self, ...):
        self._cache: dict[int, _FaissPlanStoreProtocol] = {}  # NO LOCK
        self._acms_store: _FaissAcmsStoreProtocol | None = None  # NO LOCK

Concurrent access patterns:

refresh_for_plan(plan_id) writes self._cache[plan_id] = vector_store
search() reads self._cache.get(plan_id)
invalidate(plan_id) calls self._cache.pop(plan_id, None)

These operations can race under concurrent plan execution.

Evidence

# vector_store_service.py
self._cache: dict[int, ...] = {}    # No lock

# refresh_for_plan:
self._cache[plan_id] = vector_store  # Write without lock

# search:
store = self._cache.get(plan_id)    # Read without lock

# invalidate:
self._cache.pop(plan_id, None)      # Write without lock

Expected Behavior

Add self._lock = threading.RLock() and protect _cache access.

Actual Behavior

Concurrent ACMS queries can corrupt _cache state.

Suggested Fix

import threading

def __init__(self, ...):
    self._cache: dict[int, ...] = {}
    self._lock = threading.RLock()

def invalidate(self, plan_id):
    if plan_id is None: return
    with self._lock:
        self._cache.pop(plan_id, None)

TDD Note

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