From e0fc80185a32e0635d3c2020305c40986e258b50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hulkito Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 23:18:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf: event-driven msg_wait wake-up via asyncio.Event Replace the 1s asyncio.sleep polling loop in handle_msg_wait with an asyncio.Event-based notification mechanism. When msg_post inserts a message successfully, it signals the per-thread event, waking up all waiters immediately instead of waiting for the next poll tick. - Add _thread_events registry (dict[str, asyncio.Event]) at module level - Add _get_thread_event() helper for lazy event creation - In _poll(): replace asyncio.sleep(1.0) with event.clear() + asyncio.wait_for(event.wait(), timeout=1.0) for fallback safety - In handle_msg_post: signal event after successful message insertion The 1s timeout fallback preserves correctness in multi-process/stdio mode where in-memory events are not shared across processes. Estimated improvement: inter-message latency from ~500ms to ~10ms.

Scope the mock to src.main.asyncio.wait_for so it only intercepts calls from main.py, leaving dispatch.py's event-based wait unaffected. Note: test_api_threads_success was already failing on main before this PR (TypeError: 'coroutine' object is not iterable — caused by the threads_agents_map refactor). This fix addresses both the pre-existing failure and the new interference introduced by the event-driven msg_wait.

Mock the CRUD layer directly instead: - patch get_db to return a mock db connection - patch crud.thread_list, crud.thread_count, crud.threads_agents_map as AsyncMocks with controlled return values This is the correct level of abstraction: tests verify endpoint logic, not asyncio plumbing. Also fixes the pre-existing failure on main introduced by the threads_agents_map refactor (missing mock for the new third await call).
