Code Review
This pull request enhances the Agent class by improving thread safety and cache management. It replaces lazy lock initialization with eager initialization for history and cache locks, introduces a new lock for snapshot and redo operations, and implements an LRU caching mechanism using OrderedDict. Feedback focuses on adhering to PEP 8 by moving imports to the top level and optimizing LRU updates by using the move_to_end() method instead of manual deletion and re-insertion.

According to PEP 8 style guidelines, imports should be placed at the top of the file. Moving from collections import OrderedDict to the top-level imports will improve code readability and maintain consistency.

The current implementation for updating the LRU cache uses del and re-assignment to move an existing key to the end. A more idiomatic and efficient way to achieve this with OrderedDict is to update the value and then use move_to_end(). This is an O(1) operation, whereas del can be less performant.

When retrieving an item from the LRU cache, you are using del and re-assignment to move it to the end. This can be made more efficient by using OrderedDict.move_to_end(), which is an O(1) operation and more clearly expresses the intent.

Pull request overview
This PR addresses issue #1164 by introducing eager lock initialization and helper methods intended to make Agent state (chat history, caches, snapshot stacks) safer under concurrent use.
Changes:
- Eagerly initializes locks for
chat_historyand caches; introduces thread-safe helper methods for chat history and an LRU cache helper for prompt/tool formatting caches. - Adds locking around undo/redo stack operations and around snapshot stack updates during autonomous runs.
- Switches system-prompt and formatted-tools caching to an
OrderedDict-based LRU approach with eviction.

In _chat_impl, the duplicate-prevention check reads self.chat_history and self.chat_history[-1] without holding _history_lock, and chat_history_length is captured earlier via len(self.chat_history) without a lock. This still leaves race windows where another thread can truncate/append concurrently (lost messages / IndexError / inconsistent duplicate detection). Consider guarding the entire check-then-append sequence under _history_lock, capturing the rollback length under the same lock, and using the thread-safe helpers (or a locked snapshot copy) for any subsequent reads/rollbacks of chat_history within this method.

Thread-safety for chat_history is only enforced if all call sites use these helpers (or take _history_lock). There are still many direct self.chat_history.append(...) usages elsewhere in this file (e.g., at lines 5994, 6030, 6475, 6530, 6809, 8131, etc.), which means races can still occur even with the new lock. To fully address #1164, replace the remaining direct mutations/rollbacks with _add_to_chat_history / _truncate_chat_history or wrap them in with self._history_lock:.

_snapshot_lock returns self.__snapshot_lock, but __snapshot_lock is only initialized in _init_autonomy when autonomy is enabled. When autonomy is disabled, _init_autonomy returns early without setting __snapshot_lock, so any accidental access to _snapshot_lock would raise AttributeError.

OrderedDict is imported inside __init__, which reintroduces per-instance import work despite this module explicitly moving lightweight imports out of __init__ for performance. Import OrderedDict at module scope (top of file) and reference it directly here.

chat_history is still a racy public list.
These helpers only protect the custom-LLM path. The standard OpenAI, async, streaming, restore/autosave paths in this file still read/append/replace self.chat_history directly, and src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/session.py / src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py also bypass _history_lock. In concurrent runs that still allows lost turns, mid-iteration mutation, and stale references after slice assignment. To actually fix this, chat_history needs to be fully encapsulated behind a thread-safe API/container instead of exposing the raw list.

Snapshot locking is still only partially applied.
undo()/redo() now serialize stack mutation, but diff() still reads _snapshot_stack without _snapshot_lock, and run_autonomous_async() never records the pre-autonomous snapshot at all. Under concurrent undo/redo/diff or async autonomy, you can still get spurious empty diffs or nothing to undo.

undo()/redo() error handling currently raises NameError.
logger is never defined in this module, so any failure inside these blocks hits a second exception on the debug line instead of returning False. The adjacent logger.debug(...) calls at Line 2258 and Line 2362 have the same problem.

The port can be marked started before any server is actually available.
_server_started[port] flips before the background thread is created and long before uvicorn is listening. A concurrent launch() will then skip startup even if thread creation or server boot fails, leaving that port wedged until restart. The shared _registered_agents / _shared_apps maps are also still read outside _server_lock, so the global launch state remains racy. Based on learnings: Never maintain shared mutable global state between agents; use explicit channels (EventBus, handoff) for multi-agent communication.
