Summary

Fixes the remaining thread-unsafe global mutable state in praisonaiagents.main that was identified in issue #1158.

While most thread safety issues were resolved in previous PRs (#1175, #1177, #1191, #1193, #1206), the global state in main.py still lacked proper synchronization protection.

Issues Fixed

Thread-Unsafe Globals in main.py:

  • error_logs = [] - Unprotected list appends causing race conditions
  • sync_display_callbacks = {} - Unprotected dict mutations
  • async_display_callbacks = {} - Unprotected dict mutations
  • approval_callback = None - Unprotected variable assignment

Implementation Details

Thread-Safe Protection

  • Added _main_globals_lock = threading.Lock() to protect all global state mutations
  • Created thread-safe accessor functions for all global mutations
  • Updated internal functions to use thread-safe accessors

Backward Compatibility

  • All existing public APIs remain unchanged
  • Internal functions updated to use thread-safe accessors
  • Direct global references maintained for read access

Testing

Comprehensive Thread Safety Tests:

  • 20 concurrent workers registering callbacks simultaneously
  • 15 threads each logging 10 errors (150 total operations)
  • Zero race conditions or data corruption detected

Adherence to Repository Guidelines

  • Follows Multi-agent + async safe by default principle from AGENTS.md
  • Uses efficient locking with minimal performance overhead
  • Maintains existing patterns established in the codebase
  • Zero breaking changes to public APIs

Generated with Claude Code

- Add threading.Lock protection for error_logs, sync_display_callbacks,
  async_display_callbacks, and approval_callback globals
- Create thread-safe accessor functions with proper locking
- Update all mutation operations to use thread-safe helpers
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing API
- Add comprehensive thread safety test with 150+ concurrent operations

Resolves remaining thread safety issues identified in #1158.
Ensures multi-agent + async safe by default principle from AGENTS.md.
