Closes: #7527
Fixed a bug in CleanupService._purge_sandboxes() where _sandbox_dirs_cache was not cleared after stale sandbox directories were deleted via shutil.rmtree(). Subsequent calls to _get_sandbox_dirs() returned the cached list containing paths to already-removed filesystem entries.
The cache is now reset to None at the end of _purge_sandboxes() so that subsequent reads always re-scan the filesystem for an accurate directory list.
Closes #7527
faa3fe0248to55905bb22955905bb229to8d6bb95a9aReview — PR #11040: fix(cleanup): invalidate sandbox_dirs_cache after purge (#7527)
Thank you for this fix — the core production change in
_purge_sandboxes()is correct and well-motivated. The one-line cache invalidation (self._sandbox_dirs_cache = None) precisely addresses the stale-cache bug described in issue #7527, and the updated docstring clearly explains the rationale.However, there are several blocking issues that must be resolved before this PR can be approved.
🔴 BLOCKING — CI is failing
Two CI jobs are currently failing:
CI / lint— Failing after 1m50sCI / benchmark-regression— Failing after 2m15sPer company policy, all CI gates must pass before a PR can be approved and merged. The lint failure is directly caused by a syntax error in the new test step file (see inline comment). The benchmark-regression failure may be pre-existing but must be verified.
🔴 BLOCKING — f-string syntax error causing lint failure
In
features/steps/cleanup_service_uncovered_lines_steps.pyline 441:The brace
{ i}contains a leading space beforei, which is a ruff-flagged syntax issue. It should be{i}without the space. This is almost certainly the cause of theCI / lintfailure.Fix: Change
{ i}to{i}→f"ca-sandbox-plan{i}-stub{i}".🔴 BLOCKING — Missing
@tdd_issue_7527regression test tagPer CONTRIBUTING.md, bug fixes must have a
@tdd_issue_Ntag on the regression test scenario to permanently mark it as a regression guard. Thesandbox_cache_invalidation.featurefile has no such tag on either scenario.The issue body also notes: "After this bug issue is verified, a corresponding Type/Testing issue will be created for TDD with @tdd_expected_fail tags." — This implies a companion TDD issue was expected. No TDD companion issue for #7527 appears to exist. The TDD workflow requires:
Type/Testingissue with@tdd_expected_failscenarios (created BEFORE the fix).@tdd_expected_failis replaced with@tdd_issue_7527to mark the scenario as a regression guard.If the TDD companion issue was skipped, the
@tdd_issue_7527tag must at minimum be present on the regression scenario.Fix: Add
@tdd_issue_7527tag to at least the primary regression scenario insandbox_cache_invalidation.feature.🔴 BLOCKING — Missing trailing newline in feature file
The file
features/sandbox_cache_invalidation.featureis missing a trailing newline (the diff shows\ No newline at end of file). Ruff/editors require files to end with a newline. This will also contribute to lint failures.Fix: Add a trailing newline at the end of the file.
🔴 BLOCKING — Branch name does not follow convention
Per CONTRIBUTING.md, bug fix branches must follow
bugfix/mN-<name>format whereNis the milestone number. Issue #7527 is in milestone v3.5.0 (m5), so the branch should bebugfix/m5-sandbox-cache-invalidation(or similar). The current branchfix/7527-sandbox-cache-invalidationuses the wrong prefix (fix/instead ofbugfix/) and is missing the milestone number (m5-).Note: This cannot be changed retroactively without force-pushing. The project maintainer may waive this requirement, but it should be acknowledged.
🔴 BLOCKING — PR milestone does not match issue milestone
The PR is assigned to milestone v3.2.0, but the linked issue #7527 is in milestone v3.5.0. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, the PR must be assigned to the same milestone as the linked issue.
Fix: Update the PR milestone to v3.5.0.
🔴 BLOCKING — Missing Forgejo dependency link (PR must block issue)
Per CONTRIBUTING.md, the PR must be linked to block the issue it closes (
PR → blocks → issue). Currently the PR has no dependency links at all. Without this, the automatic closure of issue #7527 on merge may not work correctly in the Forgejo workflow.Fix: On this PR, add issue #7527 under "blocks" in the Forgejo sidebar.

with patch(...) as mock_tmp:block patches thetempfilemodule butmock_tmpis never used inside the block. The comment even acknowledges this: "but we patched gettempdir directly above". Thepatch()context does nothing meaningful here — the test already works via thetempfile.gettempdir = fake_gettempdirmonkey-patch set above the try block.Suggestion: Remove the
with patch(...) as mock_tmp:wrapper and callsvc._purge_sandboxes(report)directly. This makes the test cleaner and removes the misleading impression that patching the module is needed.Automated by CleverAgents Bot

This PR has been deferred for re-evaluation. The controller has stepped back
from processing it. To resume, a human or scope-evaluator must clear the
deferral flag AND re-add the auto/sentinel label.

📋 Estimate: tier 1.
Core fix is trivial (1-2 lines: reset _sandbox_dirs_cache = None in _purge_sandboxes), but the PR adds ~106 lines of new BDD step definitions and has 4 failing CI gates. The implementer must: (1) fix a lint error (unused variable mock_tmp in the new step file), (2) investigate actor_run_signature.feature failures in unit and integration gates that appear unrelated to the cleanup change, and (3) determine whether e2e CI profile failure is pre-existing or introduced. Multi-file scope, test-additive work, and cross-gate failure triage require tier 1 capability.
📋 Estimate: tier 1.
Core fix is a single-line cache reset in CleanupService._purge_sandboxes(), but 6 files changed with +109 lines indicating BDD step additions for coverage. CI has four failing gates: (1) lint — F841 unused variable
mock_tmpin the new test steps, a trivial fix but requires editing the contributed test file; (2) unit_tests — failures in actor_run_signature and plan_service_coverage features that appear unrelated to cleanup changes but must be triaged to confirm they are pre-existing; (3) integration_tests — same actor_run_signature failures; (4) status-check aggregating the above. Multi-file scope, test additions, lint fix, and unrelated-CI triage all push above tier 0.e153b20aebtoaa8ab78e66✅ Approved
