fix(concurrency): add thread safety to InvariantService #11051

Open
HAL9000 wants to merge 3 commits from pr_fix/8209 into master
Owner

Summary

Add threading.RLock to InvariantService to protect shared state (_invariants dict, _enforcement_records list) from concurrent access by multiple threads during parallel plan execution. Prevents RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration and data corruption in multi-threaded environments.

Context

This fix addresses Issue #7524.

Epic: M3 — Decisions + Validations + Invariants (v3.2.0)

During parallel plan execution, multiple subplans may simultaneously call add_invariant(), list_invariants(), remove_invariant(), get_effective_invariants(), and enforce_invariants() without any locking, making concurrent access unsafe.

Changes

Code (src/cleveragents/application/services/invariant_service.py)

  1. Added self._lock = RLock() in init
  2. Wrapped all public methods with lock acquisition: add_invariant(), list_invariants(), remove_invariant(), get_effective_invariants(), enforce_invariants()
  3. Added three thread-safe helper read methods: get_enforcement_records(), get_invariant(), get_invariants_snapshot()
  4. Updated docstrings to document the thread safety model

BDD Tests (features/)

  • Added invariant_service_thread_safety.feature with 5 scenarios covering concurrent adds, lists, mixed access, enforcement, and mixed enforcement+listing
  • Added comprehensive step definitions in features/steps/invariant_service_thread_safety_steps.py

Documentation

  • Updated CHANGELOG.md under [Unreleased] / Fixed section

First Review — PR #11051: fix(concurrency): add thread safety to InvariantService

Overall Assessment

The core implementation is architecturally correct — adding threading.RLock to InvariantService is the right approach, it follows the existing pattern used by AutonomyController and AutonomyGuardrailService, and the lock scope covers all necessary shared state. Unfortunately, the PR cannot be merged in its current state because CI is failing on both lint and unit_tests, with the failures stemming from defects in the newly-added BDD step definitions. There are also process compliance issues that must be resolved.


CI Status (as of head 3041b444)

Check Result
lint FAILING — required gate
unit_tests FAILING — required gate
coverage ⚠️ SKIPPED (blocked by unit_tests; 97% gate not evaluated)
typecheck passing
security passing
build passing
status-check FAILING

BLOCKING: Test Quality — unit_tests failing

Two classes of defects in features/steps/invariant_service_thread_safety_steps.py cause unit_tests to fail with UndefinedStep errors:

Defect 1 — Wrong decorator type for And steps following When

In Behave, And inherits the keyword of the preceding step. In the feature file, all five scenarios contain an And step that directly follows the When step — meaning Behave treats them as additional When steps at runtime. However, all five are registered with @then, so Behave cannot find a matching @when definition and raises UndefinedStep.

Affected feature-file lines: 19 (And the service has no RuntimeError raised during concurrent access), 33 (And no thread raised RuntimeError during concurrent reads), 45 (And no thread raised RuntimeError during mixed access), 57 (And no thread raised RuntimeError during enforcement), 69 (And no thread raised RuntimeError during mixed enforcement and listing).

Fix option A: Change those five @then decorators to @when.
Fix option B (preferred — cleaner BDD semantics): Restructure the feature file to place these assertion steps as Then steps directly, e.g.:

Given an invariant service
When <n> threads concurrently add <count:d>d invariants through a barrier
Then the service has no RuntimeError raised during concurrent access
And the service should have exactly <total:d> active invariants
And all added invariants should be retrievable via get_invariant_snapshot

Defect 2 — ScenarioOutline @when decorators use literal <param> syntax instead of {param:d}

In Behave ScenarioOutline, angle-bracket placeholders (<n>, <count>) are substituted with the actual example values before step matching. So Behave looks for "2 threads concurrently add 5d invariants through a barrier" (with real values). The @when decorator contains the literal string "<n> threads concurrently add <count>d invariants through a barrier" — this does not match and Behave raises UndefinedStep.

Project convention (see features/steps/actor_service_steps.py:152) uses {param} or {param:d} (curly-brace Behave capture syntax). Fix: Replace all <param> occurrences in @when, @then, and @given decorators with {param:d} (or {param} for strings). For example:

@when("{n:d} threads concurrently add {count:d}d invariants through a barrier")
def step_concurrent_add(context: Context, n: int, count: int) -> None:

Apply the same fix to @given("an invariant service with {count:d} pre-existing invariants") (already correct) and all other angle-bracket decorators.


BLOCKING: Code Style — lint failing

Two ruff violations in features/steps/invariant_service_thread_safety_steps.py:

  1. F401 — Unused import: from typing import cast (line 14) is never used. Remove it.
  2. F841 — Unused local variable: In step_service_with_invariants(), inv = context.service.add_invariant(...) assigns the return value but inv is never referenced. Either use _ or remove the assignment.

Style note (non-blocking): Line 17 (from behave.runner import Context) is missing the # type: ignore[import-untyped] comment that all other step files in this project carry on this import. This does not cause a CI failure (Pyright excludes features/) but should be added for consistency.


BLOCKING: Process Compliance

Branch name: The branch pr_fix/8209 does not follow CONTRIBUTING.md conventions. For a Type/Bug fix on milestone v3.2.0 (M3), the branch must be bugfix/m3-<descriptive-name> (e.g. bugfix/m3-invariant-service-thread-safety). The pr_fix/ prefix is not a recognized branch type.

Missing PR→issue dependency link: CONTRIBUTING.md requires the PR to be configured as blocking the linked issue (PR → blocks → issue). Issue #7524 currently has dependencies: null — no Forgejo dependency link exists. On this PR, add issue #7524 under "blocks". Getting the direction wrong (issue blocks PR) creates an unresolvable deadlock per the CRITICAL warning in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Missing TDD companion issue: Issue #7524 is Type/Bug. CONTRIBUTING.md requires a companion Type/Testing TDD issue to be created alongside every bug, with the bug issue depending on the TDD issue (TDD blocks bug). No such issue has been created and the PR does not reference one. Note: the @tdd_issue @tdd_issue_7524 tags on the feature file indicate intent, but the standalone Type/Testing issue with Forgejo dependency is still required.


What Is Done Well

  • invariant_service.py — clean, minimal implementation following existing RLock patterns; lock placement is correct for all five public methods plus three new helper methods
  • Feature file scenarios are logically comprehensive (concurrent adds, reads, mixed add/remove, enforcement, mixed enforce+list)
  • CHANGELOG and CONTRIBUTORS updated properly
  • Commit footer includes ISSUES CLOSED: #7524
  • Milestone (v3.2.0) and Type/Bug label correctly set on the PR
  • @tdd_issue_7524 tag present in the feature file

Required Actions Before Re-Review

  1. Fix @when/@given decorators: replace <param> angle-bracket syntax with {param:d} Behave parameter syntax throughout the step file
  2. Fix And steps following When: change the five @then RuntimeError-check decorators to @when, or restructure feature file to use Then directly
  3. Remove unused from typing import cast import
  4. Fix unused variable inv in step_service_with_invariants()
  5. Configure Forgejo dependency: PR #11051 → blocks → issue #7524
  6. Create a companion Type/Testing TDD issue for bug #7524 and link it (TDD issue blocks bug issue)
  7. Rename branch to bugfix/m3-invariant-service-thread-safety (or equivalent per CONTRIBUTING.md)

All CI gates must be green (lint, typecheck, security, unit_tests, coverage ≥ 97%) before this review can progress to APPROVED.

Prior Feedback — Address Status

Thank you for the follow-up commit ca860eb6. Here is the status of each blocker from the previous REQUEST_CHANGES review:

Comment Issue Status

#255293 BLOCKING: @then / @when keyword-inheritance mismatch Fixed — And steps restructured in the feature file

New Blocking Issues Found

Two new blocking issues were introduced in the fix commit.

BLOCKING 1 — Feature file ScenarioOutline uses {n} (step-definition syntax) instead of <n> (ScenarioOutline placeholder syntax)

Lines 18 and 44 of the feature file use {n} in a Scenario Outline step. In a Behave feature file, ScenarioOutline column substitution uses angle-bracket syntax (<n>), not curly-brace syntax. Curly braces ({n:d}) belong exclusively in step definition decorators (Python).

At test time, Behave substitutes <n> with the Examples value (e.g. 2) and then matches the text 2 threads concurrently add 5 invariants through a barrier against the step decorator. With {n} in the feature file, no substitution occurs — Behave tries to match the literal text {n} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier against the step definition, resulting in UndefinedStep. This is almost certainly why CI / unit_tests is still failing.

Fix: Change all {param} and {param:d} occurrences in When/Given/Then lines inside Scenario Outline blocks to <param> (the type specifier belongs only in the step decorator, not the feature file). See features/acms_pipeline.feature for the project-standard pattern.

Every commit on this PR must have an ISSUES CLOSED: #N footer per CONTRIBUTING.md. The original commit 3041b444 correctly has ISSUES CLOSED: #7524. The follow-up fix commit ca860eb6 does not have its own footer — its body contains the text of the previous commit (likely a rebase artifact) but no standalone footer.

Fix: Amend ca860eb6 to add ISSUES CLOSED: #7524 as the last line of the commit message (after a blank separator line).

The lint failure needs investigation — it may be pre-existing or triggered by a ruff rule on one of the new files. Please check nox -s lint output and address any findings introduced by this PR.

The benchmark-regression failure also needs investigation. If it is a pre-existing regression unrelated to this PR, document that in the PR body.

Non-Blocking Observations

  • invariant_service.py implementation: The RLock approach, helper methods, and docstrings are well-written. No issues.
  • Lines 108, 269 (steps file): _ = n * count and _ = n are dead-code suppressions with no functional purpose. Consider removing them entirely — the surrounding comments explain the intent without needing a dead assignment.
  • # type: ignore[import-untyped]: The non-blocking style note from comment #255290 (adding the suppress comment to the Context import) was not addressed.
  • Test structure: Once the {n} to <n> fix is applied, the five concurrency scenarios are logically sound and cover the right access patterns.

Summary

Good progress — three of the four blockers from the previous review are fixed and the core service implementation is solid. Two new blockers need to be resolved before this can be approved:

  1. Replace {n} with <n> (and all other ScenarioOutline params) in the feature file.
  2. Add ISSUES CLOSED: #7524 footer to the fix commit ca860eb6.
  3. Investigate and resolve the remaining lint CI failure.

## Re-Review: fix(concurrency): add thread safety to InvariantService ### Prior Feedback — Address Status Thank you for the follow-up commit `ca860eb6`. Here is the status of each blocker from the previous `REQUEST_CHANGES` review: | Comment | Issue | Status | |---------|-------|--------| | #255289 | BLOCKING: `from typing import cast` unused import (F401) | Fixed — removed; `import contextlib` added instead | | #255290 | Style: Missing `# type: ignore[import-untyped]` on `from behave.runner import Context` | Still not addressed | | #255291 | BLOCKING: `inv = ...` unused variable assignment (F841) | Fixed — changed to `_ = ...` | | #255292 | BLOCKING: Wrong angle-bracket syntax in step decorators | Fixed — step decorators now use `{n:d}` curly-brace format | | #255293 | BLOCKING: `@then` / `@when` keyword-inheritance mismatch | Fixed — `And` steps restructured in the feature file | ### New Blocking Issues Found Two new **blocking** issues were introduced in the fix commit. #### BLOCKING 1 — Feature file ScenarioOutline uses `{n}` (step-definition syntax) instead of `<n>` (ScenarioOutline placeholder syntax) Lines 18 and 44 of the feature file use `{n}` in a `Scenario Outline` step. In a Behave **feature file**, ScenarioOutline column substitution uses **angle-bracket** syntax (`<n>`), not curly-brace syntax. Curly braces (`{n:d}`) belong exclusively in **step definition decorators** (Python). At test time, Behave substitutes `<n>` with the Examples value (e.g. `2`) and then matches the text `2 threads concurrently add 5 invariants through a barrier` against the step decorator. With `{n}` in the feature file, no substitution occurs — Behave tries to match the literal text `{n} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier` against the step definition, resulting in `UndefinedStep`. This is almost certainly why `CI / unit_tests` is still failing. Fix: Change all `{param}` and `{param:d}` occurrences in `When`/`Given`/`Then` lines inside `Scenario Outline` blocks to `<param>` (the type specifier belongs only in the step decorator, not the feature file). See `features/acms_pipeline.feature` for the project-standard pattern. #### BLOCKING 2 — Fix commit `ca860eb6` is missing `ISSUES CLOSED: #7524` footer Every commit on this PR must have an `ISSUES CLOSED: #N` footer per CONTRIBUTING.md. The original commit `3041b444` correctly has `ISSUES CLOSED: #7524`. The follow-up fix commit `ca860eb6` does not have its own footer — its body contains the text of the previous commit (likely a rebase artifact) but no standalone footer. Fix: Amend `ca860eb6` to add `ISSUES CLOSED: #7524` as the last line of the commit message (after a blank separator line). ### CI Status | Job | Status | |-----|--------| | lint | Failing | | unit_tests | Failing (likely due to `{n}` syntax issue above) | | benchmark-regression | Failing | | typecheck | Passing | | security | Passing | | build | Passing | | integration_tests | Passing | | e2e_tests | Passing | The `lint` failure needs investigation — it may be pre-existing or triggered by a ruff rule on one of the new files. Please check `nox -s lint` output and address any findings introduced by this PR. The `benchmark-regression` failure also needs investigation. If it is a pre-existing regression unrelated to this PR, document that in the PR body. ### Non-Blocking Observations - **`invariant_service.py` implementation:** The RLock approach, helper methods, and docstrings are well-written. No issues. - **Lines 108, 269 (steps file):** `_ = n * count` and `_ = n` are dead-code suppressions with no functional purpose. Consider removing them entirely — the surrounding comments explain the intent without needing a dead assignment. - **`# type: ignore[import-untyped]`:** The non-blocking style note from comment #255290 (adding the suppress comment to the `Context` import) was not addressed. - **Test structure:** Once the `{n}` to `<n>` fix is applied, the five concurrency scenarios are logically sound and cover the right access patterns. ### Summary Good progress — three of the four blockers from the previous review are fixed and the core service implementation is solid.

Scenario Outline: Concurrent add_invariant() must not corrupt the dict
Given an invariant service
When {n} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier
Owner

BLOCKING — Wrong ScenarioOutline placeholder syntax: {n} must be <n>

In a Behave feature file, Scenario Outline column values are substituted using angle-bracket syntax <param>. Curly-brace syntax ({n:d}) is reserved exclusively for step definition decorators in Python files.

With {n} here, Behave will NOT substitute the Examples table value. It tries to match the literal text {n} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier against the step definition pattern {n:d} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier, which will produce UndefinedStep at runtime.

Fix:

    When <n> threads concurrently add <count> invariants through a barrier

Apply the same fix to all ScenarioOutline step lines in this file that use {param} or {param:d} syntax — change every one to <param> (no type specifier in the feature file; the type specifier belongs only in the step decorator).

See features/acms_pipeline.feature for the project-standard <param> ScenarioOutline pattern.

Re-Review — PR #11051: fix(concurrency): add thread safety to InvariantService

Overall Assessment

Good progress was made on several blocking items from the first review. However, CI is still failing on lint and unit_tests, and the root cause has partially changed. The invariant_service.py implementation itself remains correct and well-structured. The remaining blockers are all in the Behave test layer and process compliance.

BLOCKING: Feature file uses {n} curly-brace syntax instead of <n> angle-bracket syntax for ScenarioOutline placeholders

This project uses Gherkin's standard angle-bracket <param> syntax for ScenarioOutline example substitution — confirmed by every other feature file in this repo (e.g. features/cli.feature: "<command> --help", features/actor_service_coverage.feature: "<name>").

In Behave ScenarioOutline, <n> is replaced with the actual example value before step matching. Curly braces {n} are the step-capture syntax used in step definitions only — not in feature file step text.

Because the feature file uses {n} instead of <n>, no substitution occurs. Behave passes the literal text "{n} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier" to the step matcher. The step definition decorator is "{n:d} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier" — these do NOT match, causing UndefinedStep and unit_tests failure.

Fix — in the feature file, replace all {param} / {param:d} outline placeholders with <param> (angle brackets):

Before:

When {n} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier
Then the service has no RuntimeError raised during concurrent access
And the service should have exactly {total:d} active invariants

After:

When <n> threads concurrently add <count> invariants through a barrier
Then the service has no RuntimeError raised during concurrent access
And the service should have exactly <total> active invariants

All outline parameter references in step text must use <param> — no type specifiers (:d) in the feature file. Type specifiers belong in step definition decorators only. Apply to all scenarios.


BLOCKING: lint CI still failing

The lint CI gate is still failing on ca860eb6. Run nox -s lint or ruff check features/steps/invariant_service_thread_safety_steps.py locally to identify and fix all remaining ruff violations before re-submitting.


BLOCKING: Process Compliance (carried from first review)

PR→issue dependency not configured: CONTRIBUTING.md requires this PR to be configured as blocking issue #7524 in Forgejo. Issue #7524 currently has dependencies: null. Add issue #7524 under "blocks" on this PR page.

Missing TDD companion issue: Issue #7524 is Type/Bug. CONTRIBUTING.md requires a companion Type/Testing TDD issue with dependency: TDD issue → blocks → bug issue → blocks → PR. No such issue was found. Must be created and linked.

Branch name still pr_fix/8209: While branch bugfix/m3-invariant-service-thread-safety exists (same commit content), this PR still points to pr_fix/8209. Either update this PR to target the correctly-named branch, or close this PR and proceed with PR #11086 which already targets the correct branch.


What Has Improved

  • invariant_service.py: clean, correct implementation; all lock placements sound and complete
  • from typing import cast removed; # type: ignore[import-untyped] present on behave import
  • Unused variable inv replaced with _ — ruff F841 resolved
  • Feature file structure: Then correctly used for assertion steps (And-after-When issue resolved)
  • Step definition decorators: {n:d} Behave capture syntax now correct in all @when decorators
  • CHANGELOG and CONTRIBUTORS entries are well-written
  • Commit footer includes ISSUES CLOSED: #7524

Required Actions Before Next Review

  1. Fix feature file outline placeholders: Replace all {param} / {param:d} in feature file step text with <param> (angle brackets, no type specifier) — this is the primary unit_tests failure
  2. Fix lint: Run nox -s lint and fix all remaining ruff violations
  3. Confirm all CI gates green: lint, unit_tests, coverage >= 97%, typecheck, security must all pass
  4. Configure Forgejo dependency: PR #11051 → blocks → issue #7524
  5. Create TDD companion issue: Type/Testing issue for bug #7524 with TDD-blocks-bug dependency
  6. Resolve branch naming: Update this PR to target bugfix/m3-invariant-service-thread-safety, or close and consolidate into PR #11086

Scenario Outline: Concurrent add_invariant() must not corrupt the dict
Given an invariant service
When {n} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier
Owner

BLOCKING — ScenarioOutline placeholder syntax: {n} should be <n>

This line uses {n} as a ScenarioOutline placeholder, but this project uses angle-bracket <param> syntax for ScenarioOutline substitution (standard Gherkin convention, confirmed by features/cli.feature, features/actor_service_coverage.feature, etc.).

Curly-brace {param} is the step-capture syntax in step definitions only. Since {n} is not a valid outline placeholder, no substitution occurs and Behave passes the literal text "{n} threads concurrently add {count:d} invariants through a barrier" to the step matcher — which does not match the step definition "{n:d} threads concurrently...". This causes UndefinedStep and is the primary cause of the unit_tests CI failure.

Fix:

When <n> threads concurrently add <count> invariants through a barrier

Apply the same fix to every outline placeholder throughout this feature file: replace all {param} and {param:d} in step text with <param> (no type specifiers in feature file text).

Add threading.RLock to InvariantService to protect shared state
(_invariants dict, _enforcement_records list) from concurrent access
by multiple threads during parallel plan execution. Prevents
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration and data
corruption in multi-threaded environments.

All five public methods (add_invariant, list_invariants, remove_invariant,
get_effective_invariants, enforce_invariants) are now thread-safe via
lock acquisition. Three helper read accessors added: get_enforcement_records,
get_invariant, get_invariants_snapshot.

Includes comprehensive BDD test coverage in features/invariant_service_thread_safety.feature.
