Completes the thread safety fixes for global mutable state identified in issue #1129 by adding protection for the remaining unprotected callback registries in main.py.

Changes Made:

  • main.py: Added threading.RLock() protection for callback registries
  • Protected sync_display_callbacks, async_display_callbacks, and approval_callback
  • Used lock/execute separation pattern to avoid deadlocks
  • Added comprehensive thread safety tests

Thread Safety Status - Now Complete:

  1. bus/bus.py: _default_bus - already thread-safe with _bus_lock
  2. trace/protocol.py: _default_emitter - atomic assignment, thread-safe
  3. telemetry/integration.py: All globals - protected with _queue_lock
  4. paths.py: _data_dir_cache - atomic caching, thread-safe
  5. main.py: Callback registries - now fixed with _callbacks_lock

Testing Results:

  • Event bus concurrent access: PASS
  • Trace emitter concurrent operations: PASS
  • Telemetry performance mode thread safety: PASS
  • Callback registry concurrent registration: PASS
  • Mixed registration/execution scenarios: PASS

Resolves #1129

Analyzing thread safety issue and implementing fix

I'll analyze this issue and implement a fix following the AGENTS.md guidelines as requested.

Todo List:

Analysis Results

After examining the codebase, I found that issue #1158 has NOT been fully resolved despite the PR description claiming it's complete. The following thread safety issues still exist:

1. Unprotected Global State in main.py (CRITICAL)

File: src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/main.py:27-34

# Still unprotected global variables:
error_logs = []                    # Global list — no synchronization
sync_display_callbacks = {}        # Global dict — no synchronization  
async_display_callbacks = {}       # Global dict — no synchronization
approval_callback = None           # Global var — no synchronization

2. Unprotected Lazy Loading Caches (22 locations found)

Multiple _lazy_cache, _module_cache, and similar dictionaries across the codebase still lack thread synchronization.

Implementation Plan

Since the issue is NOT resolved as claimed, I'll implement the missing thread safety fixes:

  1. Add threading.RLock() protection for callback registries in main.py
  2. Implement lock/execute separation pattern to avoid deadlocks
  3. Add comprehensive thread safety tests
  4. Verify all lazy caches are properly protected

Proceeding with implementation...
