# Bug Fix #8: Race Condition in Event Processing

## ⚠️ **HIGH SEVERITY BUG** - CORRUPTED SHARED STATE

**Location:** `core/events/executor.py:62-65`
**Severity:** High
**Impact:** Corrupted shared state from timed-out hooks

## 📋 **Bug Description**

The event executor processes hooks with timeouts but doesn't properly isolate shared state, leading to race conditions where hooks can partially modify shared data before timing out, leaving the system in an inconsistent state.

### Current Problematic Code
```python
# core/events/executor.py:62-65 (approximate)
class HookExecutor:
    async def execute_hooks(self, event, hooks):
        """Execute hooks for an event."""
        results = []

        for hook in hooks:
            try:
                # ← PROBLEM: Direct access to shared state with timeout
                result = await asyncio.wait_for(
                    hook.execute(event),
                    timeout=self.hook_timeout
                )
                results.append(result)
            except asyncio.TimeoutError:
                logger.warning(f"Hook {hook.name} timed out")
                # ← PROBLEM: Hook may have partially modified shared state!
                continue

        return results
```

### The Issue
- **No state isolation** during hook execution
- **Partial modifications** when hooks timeout mid-execution
- **Shared state corruption** from incomplete hook operations
- **No rollback mechanism** for failed hooks
- **Race conditions** between concurrent hook executions

## 🔧 **Fix Strategy**

### 1. Implement State Snapshot and Rollback

```

### 2. Create Data Structures for Hook Management
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Any, Optional

@dataclass
class HookResult:
    hook_name: str
    success: bool = False
    result: Any = None
    error: Optional[str] = None
    traceback: Optional[str] = None
    execution_time: float = 0.0

@dataclass
class ValidationResult:
    is_valid: bool
    error: Optional[str] = None
    warnings: List[str] = None

    def __post_init__(self):
        if self.warnings is None:
            self.warnings = []
```

### 3. Add Hook Isolation Context Manager
```python
@asynccontextmanager
async def hook_execution_context(hook: 'Hook', event: 'Event'):
    """Context manager for safe hook execution with automatic rollback."""
    state_snapshot = None
    hook_success = False

    try:
        # Create snapshot if hook modifies shared state
        if hasattr(hook, 'modifies_shared_state') and hook.modifies_shared_state:
            state_snapshot = await _create_state_snapshot(event)
            logger.debug(f"State snapshot created for hook {hook.name}")

        yield hook

        hook_success = True
        logger.debug(f"Hook {hook.name} completed successfully")

    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"Hook {hook.name} failed: {e}")
        raise

    finally:
        # Rollback if hook failed and we have a snapshot
        if not hook_success and state_snapshot:
            try:
                await _restore_state_snapshot(event, state_snapshot)
                logger.info(f"Rolled back state for failed hook {hook.name}")
            except Exception as e:
                logger.error(f"Failed to rollback state for hook {hook.name}: {e}")

# Usage in execute_hooks:
async def execute_hooks_with_context(self, event: 'Event', hooks: List['Hook']) -> List[Any]:
    """Execute hooks using context managers for safety."""
    results = []

    for hook in hooks:
        try:
            async with hook_execution_context(hook, event):
                result = await asyncio.wait_for(
                    hook.execute(event),
                    timeout=self.hook_timeout
                )
                results.append(result)

        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            logger.error(f"Hook {hook.name} timed out - state automatically rolled back")
            break  # Stop processing on timeout
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Hook {hook.name} failed - state automatically rolled back: {e}")
            break  # Stop processing on failure

    return results
```

### 4. Add Configuration and Monitoring
```python
# core/config/hook_config.py
class HookConfig:
    execution:
        default_timeout: float = 30.0
        enable_state_snapshots: bool = True
        enable_rollback: bool = True
        max_data_size: int = 10 * 1024 * 1024  # 10MB

    validation:
        enable_pre_validation: bool = True
        enable_post_validation: bool = True
        custom_validators: List[str] = []

    monitoring:
        track_execution_time: bool = True
        track_state_changes: bool = True
        enable_detailed_logging: bool = False

# Hook monitoring and metrics
def get_execution_metrics(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    """Get hook execution metrics."""
    total = self.execution_stats['total_executions']
    if total == 0:
        return self.execution_stats

    return {
        **self.execution_stats,
        'timeout_rate': self.execution_stats['timeouts'] / total * 100,
        'failure_rate': self.execution_stats['failures'] / total * 100,
        'rollback_rate': self.execution_stats['rollbacks'] / total * 100
    }
```

### 5. Add Hook Interface Enhancements
```python
class Hook:
    """Enhanced hook interface with state management support."""

    def __init__(self, name: str):
        self.name = name
        self.modifies_shared_state = False  # Set to True if hook modifies shared state

    async def execute(self, event: 'Event') -> Any:
        """Execute the hook - must be implemented by subclasses."""
        raise NotImplementedError

    async def validate_event(self, event: 'Event') -> bool:
        """Validate event before execution - optional."""
        return True

    async def validate_result(self, result: Any) -> bool:
        """Validate result after execution - optional."""
        return True

    async def rollback(self, event: 'Event'):
        """Rollback changes - optional but recommended for state-modifying hooks."""
        pass
```

## ✅ **Implementation Steps**

1. **Implement state snapshot system** for hook isolation
2. **Add rollback mechanisms** for failed or timed-out hooks
3. **Create comprehensive error handling** with proper cleanup
4. **Add validation layers** before and after hook execution
5. **Implement monitoring and metrics** for hook performance
6. **Enhance hook interface** with state management capabilities

## 🧪 **Testing Strategy**

1. **Test state isolation** - verify hooks don't interfere with each other
2. **Test rollback mechanisms** - verify state is restored on failures
3. **Test timeout handling** - verify proper cleanup on timeouts
4. **Test concurrent execution** - verify no race conditions
5. **Test validation layers** - verify invalid changes are caught
6. **Test complex scenarios** - multiple hooks with mixed success/failure

## 🚀 **Files to Modify**

- `core/events/executor.py` - Main fix location
- `core/events/hook.py` - Enhance hook interface
- `core/config/hook_config.py` - Add configuration
- `tests/test_hook_executor.py` - Add comprehensive tests

## 📊 **Success Criteria**

- ✅ Hook executions are properly isolated from shared state
- ✅ Rollback mechanisms restore state on failures
- ✅ Timeout scenarios are handled gracefully
- ✅ No race conditions between concurrent hook executions
- ✅ Comprehensive monitoring and metrics available
- ✅ All execution failures are properly logged and handled

## 💡 **Why This Fixes the Race Condition**

This fix eliminates race conditions by:
- **State isolation** through snapshots before each hook execution
- **Automatic rollback** when hooks fail or timeout
- **Comprehensive validation** of state changes
- **Proper error handling** with guaranteed cleanup
- **Execution tracking** and monitoring for visibility
- **Enhanced hook interface** supporting state management

The race condition is eliminated because shared state is never directly modified - instead, hooks work with isolated copies, and changes are only applied after successful completion. If anything goes wrong, the original state is automatically restored, preventing corruption.
