Summary

Fixes a critical concurrency bug in the provider registry singleton pattern. Under concurrent access, the non-thread-safe get_provider_registry() function could create multiple duplicate registry instances, violating the singleton contract and causing inconsistent state. This PR introduces thread-safe synchronization using a module-level lock to ensure only one registry instance exists, even under high concurrency.

Changes

• Thread-safety implementation (src/cleveragents/providers/registry.py):

  • Added import threading for synchronization primitives
  • Introduced module-level _registry_lock: threading.Lock to guard critical sections
  • Wrapped get_provider_registry() body with lock context manager to ensure atomic singleton creation
  • Wrapped reset_provider_registry() body with lock context manager to ensure atomic state reset

• TDD feature coverage (features/tdd_registry_thread_safety.feature):

  • Added BDD feature file with @tdd_issue @tdd_issue_10409 @mock_only tags
  • Validates singleton invariants under concurrent access patterns

• Step definitions (features/steps/tdd_registry_thread_safety_steps.py):

  • Implemented step definitions for thread-safety test scenarios

Testing

All quality gates passed:

• Lint: ✓ Passed
• Type checking: ✓ Passed (0 errors, 3 warnings for missing module sources)
• Unit tests: ✓ Passed (15,238 scenarios, 0 failed)
• Coverage: ✓ 97.1% (exceeds 97% threshold)

fix(providers): add threading lock to get_provider_registry() singleton ... 6b9d81d590

Added import threading to src/cleveragents/providers/registry.py to enable a module-level lock.
Defined _registry_lock: threading.Lock = threading.Lock() at module scope.
Wrapped get_provider_registry() body with with _registry_lock: to ensure thread-safety.
Wrapped reset_provider_registry() body with with _registry_lock: to ensure thread-safety.
Added TDD support: features/tdd_registry_thread_safety.feature with @tdd_issue @tdd_issue_10409 @mock_only.
Added step definitions: features/steps/tdd_registry_thread_safety_steps.py.

🌱 Grooming: proceed — PR cleared for processing.

(check no_duplicates, category no_duplicates)

Anchor PR #10742 implements thread-safe singleton creation for get_provider_registry() using module-level threading.Lock. Related PR #10754 adds a failing TDD test scenario for the same issue, but this represents the intended test-first workflow phase, not duplication. No other open PRs address this specific provider registry concurrency issue.

📋 Estimate: tier 1.

3-file change: threading lock added to provider registry singleton (new logic branch), plus new BDD feature file and step definitions (additive test infrastructure). New logic branches (lock acquisition paths in both get and reset functions) and new test files consistently require tier 1 in this codebase. Core fix is conceptually simple but scope and test additions place it firmly in non-trivial territory.

auto/last-attempt-tier-min

In-cycle escalation: most recent attempt ran at the Tier -1 slot (`tier-min`). Slot's model defined in .opencode/models/tiers.yaml. Suffix is ``-min`` (not ``--1``) so the Forgejo UI reads naturally.

Train repeatedly lost master-tempo races. Driver excludes via merge_cycle until cooldown elapses; label persists as visible history.

  

auto/revert

Revert PR backing out an invariant violation. Fast-tracked through the merge driver.
