Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~45 minutes

  • Areas needing careful review:
    • cortex/utils/db_pool.py — correct acquire/timeout semantics, connection initialization PRAGMAs, safe return-to-pool, and close_all semantics.
    • Converted modules (context_memory, installation_history, semantic_cache, graceful_degradation, etc.) — transactional boundaries, commits/rollbacks, exception paths, and ensuring no leaked or double-closed connections.
    • Double-checked locking patterns (transaction_history, graceful_degradation, progress_indicators, stack_manager) — correctness of lock usage and memory visibility.
    • Tests (tests/test_thread_safety.py) — flakiness risk from timing/timeout sensitivity and temporary DB isolation.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through threads where races used to play,
Locks stitched the paths and pools queued connections away.
Singletons stood steady, DBs humbed in line,
The rabbit nibs code—now concurrency's fine.

The timeout mechanism uses queue.Empty exception and raises TimeoutError, but the connection returned to the pool in the finally block uses block=False which could raise queue.Full if the pool is somehow overfilled. While this is logged, a malicious or buggy caller could repeatedly fail to return connections properly, leading to pool exhaustion. Consider tracking borrowed connections to ensure they're returned exactly once.

The test uses a fallback of 1 if cores is 0, but then asserts all results should be identical. This could mask an actual bug where hardware detection is returning 0 cores in some threads but not others. Consider failing the test if any thread returns 0 cores, or investigating why cores might be 0 instead of working around it.

The indentation error on line 333 appears to be a diff artifact, but the actual code shows packages = json.loads(result[0]) is outside the with block (no indentation), followed by lines that use result[1] which may not be accessible outside the block. This could cause a NameError or UnboundLocalError at runtime if the code is structured as shown. Verify that the indentation is correct and all variables used after the with block are properly defined within the outer scope.

⚠️ Outside diff range comments (5)
cortex/llm_router.py (1)

429-434: Add self._stats_lock protection to reset_stats method.

The reset_stats method (lines 429-434) modifies shared state without lock protection, creating a race condition. The _update_stats() and get_stats() methods properly use with self._stats_lock: to protect access to the same shared state (total_cost_usd, request_count, provider_stats). Wrap the reset operations in with self._stats_lock: to ensure thread-safety consistency.

cortex/installation_history.py (3)

283-312: Critical bug: conn.commit() is outside the with block.

Lines 306-308 (conn.commit(), logging, and return) are outside the with self._pool.get_connection() context manager. The connection has already been returned to the pool, so conn.commit() will operate on an invalid/reused connection.

423-455: Bug: InstallationRecord construction is outside the with block.

The with self._pool.get_connection() block ends at line 434, but row is used on lines 436-452 to construct the InstallationRecord. While row is a fetched tuple (not a cursor), this pattern is fragile. Consider returning within the context or storing the needed values.

The code will work since row is a copied tuple, but the pattern is inconsistent with other methods and could cause issues if refactored.

cortex/transaction_history.py (1)

153-175: TransactionHistory uses direct sqlite3.connect() instead of connection pooling, inconsistent with other modules.

All other database-backed modules in this codebase (graceful_degradation.py, installation_history.py, context_memory.py) use the SQLiteConnectionPool via get_connection_pool(), which provides:

  • WAL mode for concurrent reader/writer access
  • Optimized pragmas (synchronous=NORMAL, 64MB cache, memory temp storage)
  • Thread-safe connection reuse and timeout handling

TransactionHistory lacks these safeguards. Direct sqlite3.connect() calls mean no WAL mode, no performance pragmas, and no pooled connection reuse. The singleton pattern protects only instance creation, not concurrent database access.

🧹 Nitpick comments (10)

661-671: Add language specifiers to fenced code blocks.

The architecture diagrams use fenced code blocks without language specifiers. While these are text diagrams, adding text or plaintext as the language identifier will satisfy linters and improve rendering consistency.

1139-1142: Review the author attribution.

The author is listed as "GitHub Copilot (Claude Sonnet 4.5)" which appears to be AI-generated attribution. Consider updating to reflect the actual PR author or team, or clarify this is AI-assisted documentation.

cortex/hardware_detection.py (1)

196-196: Consider whether RLock is necessary.

You're using threading.RLock() (reentrant lock) instead of threading.Lock(). An RLock allows the same thread to acquire the lock multiple times, which is useful if there are nested calls within the same thread.

Is there a code path where the same thread might call _load_cache or _save_cache recursively or where one calls the other? If not, a regular Lock() would be simpler and slightly more efficient.

cortex/notification_manager.py (1)

66-70: Clarify lock ownership comment.

The comment on line 68 says "Caller must hold self._history_lock", but _save_history is only called from _log_history (lines 152-154), which does acquire the lock. This is correct usage.

Consider revising the comment to be clearer:

def _save_history(self):
    """Saves the last 100 notifications to history (thread-safe).
    
    Must be called while holding self._history_lock.
    """
cortex/kernel_features/kv_cache_manager.py (1)

120-127: Encapsulation violation: accessing db._pool directly.

KVCacheManager.destroy_pool reaches into the private _pool attribute of CacheDatabase. This breaks encapsulation and couples the manager to internal implementation details.

Proposed fix: add a method to CacheDatabase

Add a delete_pool method to CacheDatabase:

 class CacheDatabase:
     # ... existing methods ...
 
+    def delete_pool(self, name: str):
+        with self._pool.get_connection() as conn:
+            conn.execute("DELETE FROM pools WHERE name=?", (name,))
+            conn.commit()

Then update KVCacheManager.destroy_pool:

     def destroy_pool(self, name: str) -> bool:
         if name in self.pools:
             self.pools[name].destroy()
             del self.pools[name]
-        with self.db._pool.get_connection() as conn:
-            conn.execute("DELETE FROM pools WHERE name=?", (name,))
+        self.db.delete_pool(name)
         print(f"✅ Destroyed pool '{name}'")
         return True
cortex/graceful_degradation.py (1)

109-141: Consider read-only transaction for get method's update.

The get method performs both a SELECT and UPDATE within a single pool connection context, which is correct. However, the conn.row_factory assignment on line 114 modifies connection state that persists when returned to the pool, potentially affecting other consumers.

Setting row_factory on a pooled connection may affect subsequent uses. Consider using cursor.row_factory instead, or resetting it in a finally block.

cortex/transaction_history.py (1)

25-27: Import placement is non-standard.

The threading import is placed after the class definitions begin (after line 22). Per PEP 8, imports should be at the top of the file, grouped with other standard library imports.

Proposed fix

Move the import to the top with other standard library imports:

 import hashlib

The PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL command returns the actual mode that was set. If WAL mode fails (e.g., due to filesystem limitations or read-only database), SQLite silently falls back to a different mode, which could cause unexpected SQLITE_BUSY errors under concurrent access.

🔎 Proposed enhancement
         # Enable WAL mode for better concurrency
         # WAL allows multiple readers + single writer simultaneously
-        conn.execute("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL")
+        result = conn.execute("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL").fetchone()
+        if result and result[0].upper() != "WAL":
+            import logging
+            logging.warning(f"WAL mode not enabled for {self.db_path}, using {result[0]}")

130-135: Move logging import to module level.

The import logging statement inside the exception handler is non-idiomatic Python. Module-level imports improve readability and avoid repeated import overhead (even if this path is rarely hit).

🔎 Proposed fix

Add to imports at the top of the file:

import logging

Then simplify the exception handler:

             try:
                 self._pool.put(conn, block=False)
             except queue.Full:
                 # Should never happen, but log if it does
-                import logging
                 logging.error(f"Connection pool overflow for {self.db_path}")
tests/test_thread_safety.py (1)

223-234: Test accesses private _pool attribute.

The test directly accesses pool._pool.get() to exhaust the pool. While this works, it couples the test to implementation details. Consider using the public context manager in separate threads to hold connections, or document that this is intentionally testing internal behavior.

This is acceptable for testing timeout behavior, just noting the coupling.

cortex/progress_indicators.py (2)

117-174: Excellent thread-safety implementation for FallbackProgress.

The locking discipline is well-designed:

  • All shared state (_current_message, _spinner_idx, _running, _thread) is consistently protected by the instance lock.
  • The pattern of acquiring the lock for state access, then releasing before blocking operations (I/O, sleep, thread join) is correct and efficient.
  • The while True: loop with lock-protected running checks prevents race conditions.
  • Using Lock() rather than RLock() is appropriate since there's no recursive acquisition.

The implementation correctly handles concurrent calls to start(), update(), stop(), and fail() from multiple threads.


661-672: Thread-safe singleton pattern correctly implemented.

The double-checked locking pattern is appropriate for Python 3.14 free-threading:

  • Fast path check (if _global_progress is None:) avoids lock contention after initialization.
  • Lock ensures serialized access during initialization.
  • Second check inside the lock prevents multiple instantiations from racing threads.

This pattern provides thread-safe lazy initialization with minimal performance overhead.

cortex/config_manager.py (1)

58-58: LGTM! Thread-safe file I/O for preferences.

The _file_lock correctly serializes access to the shared preferences file at ~/.cortex/preferences.yaml. Both _load_preferences and _save_preferences are properly protected, preventing corruption from concurrent reads/writes.

Also applies to: 285-287, 301-303

cortex/stack_manager.py (1)

27-45: LGTM! Double-checked locking correctly implemented.

The pattern correctly avoids lock overhead on subsequent calls while ensuring thread-safe initialization. The fast path check (line 30) returns immediately if already initialized, and the slow path (lines 34-45) properly rechecks after acquiring the lock.

cortex/dependency_resolver.py (1)

68-69: LGTM! Thread-safe caching and package tracking.

The locking strategy is well-designed:

  • _packages_lock protects the installed packages set during refresh and lookup
  • _cache_lock protects the dependency cache during reads and writes
  • Building new_packages outside the lock (lines 90-95) then swapping under lock minimizes contention

The pattern correctly avoids holding locks during slow operations (subprocess calls, dependency resolution).

Also applies to: 97-104, 219-223, 265-267

docs/PYTHON_314_COMPLETE_IMPLEMENTATION.md (1)

1-21: Well-structured implementation summary.

The document provides a clear overview of the thread-safety implementation with concrete metrics (13 modules, 4950 operations, ~2400 ops/sec). The phased approach and backward compatibility claims are well-documented.

docs/PYTHON_314_DEVELOPER_CHECKLIST.md (1)

164-198: Verify connection pool API matches implementation.

The example shows get_connection_pool(db_path, pool_size=5) returning a pool with a .get_connection() context manager. Please verify this matches the actual implementation in cortex/utils/db_pool.py.

Based on the relevant code snippets, this appears correct.

cortex/llm_router.py (4)

18-18: LGTM - Threading import added.

The threading import is correctly placed and necessary for the lock-based thread-safety improvements.


165-166: LGTM - Lock initialization for thread-safe statistics.

The _stats_lock is properly initialized in __init__ and the comment clearly explains its purpose. This lock will protect concurrent updates to cost tracking and request counts.


393-402: LGTM - Thread-safe statistics updates.

The _update_stats method correctly acquires the lock before modifying shared state. The critical section is minimal (only the actual updates), which is good practice for lock granularity.


404-427: LGTM - Thread-safe statistics retrieval.

The get_stats method correctly acquires the lock before reading statistics and returns a computed dictionary rather than live references to mutable state.

cortex/hardware_detection.py (3)

19-19: LGTM - Threading import added.

The threading import is correctly placed for the lock-based cache protection.


252-302: LGTM - Thread-safe cache loading with minor whitespace issue.

The _load_cache method is now properly protected with a lock. The implementation correctly:

  • Returns early if caching is disabled
  • Validates cache age before loading
  • Handles errors gracefully by returning None
  • Reconstructs SystemInfo from cached data

Minor issue: Line 256 has trailing whitespace (flagged by static analysis).

This analysis document provides thorough coverage of the Python 3.14 free-threading migration, including:

  • Executive summary with findings and priorities
  • Implementation plan with phases
  • Code examples showing before/after patterns
  • Testing strategy and performance benchmarks
  • Risk assessment and mitigation

The document aligns well with the actual code changes in the PR and provides valuable guidance for developers.

docs/PARALLEL_LLM_FREE_THREADING_DESIGN.md (1)

1-1053: LGTM - Comprehensive design document.

This design document provides detailed architecture for Python 3.14 free-threading support:

  • Thread-safe LLM router with thread-local clients
  • Parallel executor using ThreadPoolExecutor
  • Thread-safe rate limiter
  • Connection pooling for cache
  • Performance benchmarks and migration strategy

The design is well thought out and aligns with the actual implementation changes in the PR.

cortex/kernel_features/accelerator_limits.py (5)

14-15: LGTM - Connection pool import.

The import of get_connection_pool is correct and aligns with the broader migration to pool-based database access.


57-60: LGTM - Connection pool initialization.

The pool is correctly initialized in __init__ with a reasonable pool size of 5. The table creation is properly executed within the pool's context manager.


62-67: LGTM - Thread-safe save operation.

The save method now uses the connection pool, ensuring thread-safe database writes.


69-72: LGTM - Thread-safe get operation.

The get method now uses the connection pool for thread-safe reads.


74-79: LGTM - Thread-safe list_all operation.

The list_all method now uses the connection pool for thread-safe reads.

cortex/notification_manager.py (4)

5-5: LGTM - Threading import added.

The threading import is correctly placed for lock-based history protection.


37-37: LGTM - Lock initialization for thread-safe history.

The _history_lock is properly initialized to protect concurrent access to the history list and file I/O.


55-64: LGTM - Thread-safe history loading.

The docstring correctly notes that _load_history is thread-safe. Since it's only called during __init__, there's minimal contention risk, but the documentation is helpful for future maintenance.


142-154: LGTM - Thread-safe history logging.

The _log_history method correctly:

  • Acquires the lock before modifying the history list
  • Calls _save_history while holding the lock
  • Ensures atomic append and save operations
cortex/semantic_cache.py (6)

16-17: LGTM - Connection pool imports.

The imports are correctly added for the SQLite connection pooling migration.


76-77: LGTM - Pool attribute initialization.

The _pool attribute is properly initialized as None and will be set up in _init_database.


88-133: LGTM - Thread-safe database initialization.

The _init_database method correctly:

  • Initializes the connection pool using get_connection_pool
  • Uses pool size of 5 (reasonable default)
  • Creates tables and indexes within the pool's context manager
  • Commits the transaction before exiting the context

The pool initialization will enable WAL mode automatically for better concurrency.


229-290: LGTM - Thread-safe cache lookups.

The get_commands method now uses the connection pool for all database operations:

  • Exact match lookup
  • Semantic similarity search
  • Hit/miss recording
  • Proper transaction commit

The context manager ensures the connection is returned to the pool even if an exception occurs.


315-343: LGTM - Thread-safe cache writes.

The put_commands method now uses the connection pool for:

  • Inserting/replacing cache entries
  • LRU eviction if needed
  • Transaction commit

The use of INSERT OR REPLACE with the COALESCE for hit_count preservation is clever and maintains statistics correctly.


371-377: LGTM - Thread-safe statistics retrieval.

The stats method now uses the connection pool for reading cache statistics. The context manager ensures proper connection lifecycle management.

cortex/kernel_features/kv_cache_manager.py (1)

47-59: LGTM on connection pool integration.

The CacheDatabase class correctly initializes the connection pool and uses the context manager pattern for schema creation. executescript implicitly commits, so no explicit conn.commit() is needed here.

cortex/graceful_degradation.py (2)

507-521: Thread-safe singleton pattern implemented correctly.

The double-checked locking pattern for get_degradation_manager() is appropriate for Python 3.14 free-threading. The fast path avoids lock contention when the instance is already initialized.


77-102: Connection pool integration looks good.

The ResponseCache class properly initializes the pool via get_connection_pool and uses context managers for all database operations. The explicit conn.commit() calls ensure data persistence.

cortex/transaction_history.py (1)

658-686: Thread-safe singleton patterns are correctly implemented.

Both get_history() and get_undo_manager() use proper double-checked locking with separate locks for each singleton. The fast-path check avoids lock contention after initialization.

cortex/context_memory.py (3)

88-173: Connection pool integration is well-implemented.

The ContextMemory class correctly initializes the pool and uses context managers consistently for all database operations. Schema creation, indexing, and commits are properly scoped within the connection context.


175-213: record_interaction correctly uses pooled connection.

The method properly acquires a connection, performs the insert, commits, and returns the connection to the pool before triggering pattern analysis. This is the correct pattern.


621-669: get_statistics handles empty table edge case.

Good defensive check at line 650 for stats["total_entries"] > 0 before using the success rate result. This prevents division-by-zero issues.

cortex/utils/db_pool.py (3)

1-17: LGTM!

Module docstring is clear about the purpose and the imports are appropriate for thread-safe connection pooling.


19-65: LGTM!

The class docstring clearly documents SQLite's concurrency limitations. The __init__ method properly initializes the pool with type hints for all parameters, and using queue.Queue with maxsize ensures bounded, thread-safe connection management.


154-161: LGTM!

Context manager implementation is correct. Returning False from __exit__ properly propagates exceptions.

tests/test_thread_safety.py (7)

1-21: LGTM!

Clear documentation on running tests with and without GIL. The imports are appropriate for concurrency testing.


23-40: LGTM!

The test correctly validates singleton thread-safety by spawning many concurrent threads and verifying they all receive the same instance. The high thread count (100 workers, 1000 tasks) provides good stress coverage.


63-80: LGTM!

This test correctly validates the thread-safe singleton pattern for get_degradation_manager(), which uses double-checked locking according to the implementation in cortex/graceful_degradation.py.


83-123: LGTM!

Good test coverage for concurrent read operations. The test properly validates that all concurrent reads return consistent results, and the cleanup in the finally block ensures resources are released.


126-175: LGTM!

Solid test for concurrent write operations. The error collection pattern and final row count verification provide good diagnostics and validation.


268-323: LGTM!

The stress test provides good coverage with mixed read/write operations and proper error handling. The @pytest.mark.slow marker appropriately allows skipping during quick test runs.


326-349: LGTM!

The standalone runner is a nice addition for quick validation outside of pytest. Good use of visual feedback with checkmarks.

Add return type hint to close_all_pools() and always acquire lock before accessing _pools.

Line 214: close_all_pools() is missing return type hint (-> int). Additionally, lines 37-38 read _pools without the lock, violating free-threading best practices. Explicit locking mechanisms are crucial to protect shared mutable state and ensure logical correctness. Remove the unlocked fast-path check and always acquire the lock before accessing _pools to prevent race conditions and ensure memory visibility.

Clarify that commit is not automatic.

The comment states "conn.commit() automatic on context exit" but based on the connection pool implementation pattern shown in the audit document, the context manager only returns the connection to the pool—it does not auto-commit. Developers must call conn.commit() explicitly.

get_detector() is not thread-safe — add double-checked locking like get_history() and get_degradation_manager().

The implementation uses simple lazy initialization without synchronization:

def get_detector() -> HardwareDetector:
    """Get the global hardware detector instance."""
    global _detector_instance
    if _detector_instance is None:
        _detector_instance = HardwareDetector()
    return _detector_instance

Unlike get_history() (transaction_history.py) and get_degradation_manager() (graceful_degradation.py), which both use double-checked locking with explicit locks, get_detector() has no synchronization. Multiple threads can simultaneously see _detector_instance as None and create multiple instances. This test will fail under free-threading (PYTHON_GIL=0) and could fail under heavy concurrent load with the GIL enabled.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In tests/test_thread_safety.py around lines 43 to 60, the review notes
get_detector() in cortex.hardware_detection is not thread-safe and can create
multiple HardwareDetector instances concurrently; fix by adding a module-level
threading.Lock and applying double-checked locking in get_detector(): first test
if _detector_instance is None, then acquire the lock, re-check
_detector_instance is None, instantiate and assign if still None, and finally
return the instance; also ensure the lock is imported/defined at module scope
alongside _detector_instance so the pattern matches get_history() and
get_degradation_manager().

10-136: ✅ Comprehensive and technically sound thread-safety analysis.

The audit identifies critical issues systematically (singletons without locks, SQLite concurrency, file I/O races) and provides well-reasoned problem statements with clear code examples. The risk matrix (Table at lines 24-28) and module inventory (Tables at lines 355-375) provide useful summary views for prioritization.


952-1017: ✅ Well-structured implementation roadmap with clear phases and measurable targets.

The phased approach (critical → high → optimization → documentation) provides a logical path for execution. Estimated 4-6 week timeline is realistic for the scope. Test commands and environment setup instructions are clear.


32-375: Clarify scope and provide access to the actual codebase for verification.

The review comment raises valid thread-safety concerns for Python 3.14 free-threading support, and the technical guidance provided (double-checked locking for singletons, SQLite connection pooling, and explicit locks for shared state) aligns with industry best practices. However, the final verification request cannot be completed without access to the actual repository files.

To properly verify the claims in this review, please provide:

  1. Access to the source files (transaction_history.py, semantic_cache.py, etc.) to confirm code snippets match actual lines
  2. Confirmation that the documentation file exists at docs/PYTHON_314_THREAD_SAFETY_AUDIT.md with the specified line ranges
  3. Details on which code changes should be reviewed to verify implementation of proposed fixes

Once the codebase is accessible, the review can be validated against actual implementations.

## 8. Compatibility Notes

### 8.1 Backward Compatibility

All fixes are **backward compatible** with Python 3.10-3.13 (with GIL):
- `threading.Lock()` works identically with/without GIL
- Connection pooling improves performance even with GIL
- No breaking API changes required

### 8.2 Opt-In Free-Threading

Users can choose to enable free-threading:

```bash
# Standard Python 3.14 (with GIL) - backward compatible
python3.14 -m cortex install nginx

# Free-threading Python 3.14 (no GIL) - 2-3x faster
python3.14t -m cortex install nginx
# OR
PYTHON_GIL=0 python3.14 -m cortex install nginx
```

### 8.3 Recommended Configuration

**For Python 3.10-3.13** (GIL):
- No changes required
- Connection pooling provides modest speedup

**For Python 3.14+** (free-threading):
- Set `PYTHON_GIL=0` or use `python3.14t`
- Configure thread pool size via environment:
```bash
export CORTEX_THREAD_POOL_SIZE=10
export CORTEX_DB_POOL_SIZE=5
```

❌ Documentation contradicts actual implementation—environment variable configuration is not implemented.

The backward compatibility claims are sound, but lines 1051-1055 document environment variables (CORTEX_THREAD_POOL_SIZE, CORTEX_DB_POOL_SIZE) for pool configuration that do not exist in the codebase. The actual implementation uses hard-coded pool_size values (e.g., pool_size=5 in cortex/graceful_degradation.py, cortex/installation_history.py) with no environment variable reading logic. Either implement the documented environment variable support or remove the configuration section from the documentation to avoid misleading users.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In docs/PYTHON_314_THREAD_SAFETY_AUDIT.md around lines 1020-1056 the doc lists
environment variables CORTEX_THREAD_POOL_SIZE and CORTEX_DB_POOL_SIZE but the
codebase uses hard-coded pool_size values (e.g., cortex/graceful_degradation.py

mismatch; fix by either (A) implementing env var support: read
CORTEX_THREAD_POOL_SIZE and CORTEX_DB_POOL_SIZE (with sane defaults, validation,
and int parsing) in the modules that create thread/db pools and use those values
instead of hard-coded literals, add unit tests and update any central
config/loading code and migration note, or (B) if you prefer not to expose env
vars, remove the "Configure thread pool size via environment" block from the
docs and replace it with the actual configuration method (hard-coded defaults
and where to change them), ensuring the docs and code are consistent.

62-68: Missing conn.commit() after INSERT statements in save_pool.

This issue was flagged in a previous review and remains unaddressed. Without committing, the INSERT statements may not persist to disk.

319-363: Critical: Code executes outside the connection context manager scope.

Lines 333-358 execute outside the with self._pool.get_connection() block. The with block ends at line 331 (after packages = json.loads(result[0])), but the code continues to use cursor, conn, and references to result[1] which are no longer in scope. This will cause NameError or UnboundLocalError at runtime.

43-60: Test may fail under free-threading due to non-thread-safe get_detector().

As noted in a previous review, get_detector() in cortex/hardware_detection.py lacks double-checked locking synchronization. This test asserts singleton semantics that may not hold under PYTHON_GIL=0.

16-17: SQLiteConnectionPool import appears unused.

The SQLiteConnectionPool type is imported but only used for the type annotation on line 76 (self._pool: SQLiteConnectionPool | None = None). Consider whether the import is necessary for the type hint or if it could be a string annotation to avoid the import.

🔎 Option: Use string annotation to avoid import
-from cortex.utils.db_pool import SQLiteConnectionPool, get_connection_pool
+from cortex.utils.db_pool import get_connection_pool
+
+from typing import TYPE_CHECKING
+if TYPE_CHECKING:
+    from cortex.utils.db_pool import SQLiteConnectionPool

Then update line 76:

-        self._pool: SQLiteConnectionPool | None = None
+        self._pool: "SQLiteConnectionPool | None" = None

However, the current approach is also valid and provides runtime type availability. This is a minor style preference.

51-51: LGTM - appropriate removal of unnecessary f-string.

The plain string is more efficient and correct since no string interpolation is needed.


98-98: LGTM - appropriate removal of unnecessary f-string.

Consistent with the cleanup pattern across the file.


145-145: LGTM - appropriate removal of unnecessary f-string.

Consistent with the cleanup pattern across the file.


236-237: Verify the explicit task_type parameter handling maintains correct behavior.

The change filters task_type from the dict expansion and passes it as an explicit keyword argument. While this approach is more explicit and avoids potential parameter duplication, please verify that:

  1. All other expected parameters (messages, temperature, max_tokens) are still correctly passed via dict expansion
  2. The sequential execution produces the same results as before this change

You can verify this by running the performance comparison test and confirming that both sequential and parallel executions complete successfully with equivalent results.


247-247: LGTM - improved output formatting.

The newline prefix improves readability in the test output.

cortex/dependency_resolver.py (4)

68-72: Thread-safety implementation looks good.

The two-lock approach properly separates concerns: _cache_lock for the dependency cache and _packages_lock for the installed packages set. Initializing locks before the shared state they protect is correct.

Note: There's a benign race between cache-check (lines 220-223) and cache-write (lines 265-267) where two threads could compute the same dependency graph concurrently. This is acceptable since the result is deterministic and duplicate computation only wastes cycles without causing correctness issues.


84-99: Good thread-safe update pattern.

The collect-then-assign pattern (building new_packages outside the lock, then assigning atomically under _packages_lock) minimizes lock contention while ensuring thread-safe updates. This is the recommended approach.


101-104: LGTM!

The membership check is correctly protected by the lock, and the docstring appropriately indicates thread-safety.


219-223: Cache access pattern is appropriate for this use case.

The lock protects individual reads and writes but allows concurrent computation. This trade-off favors throughput over preventing duplicate work, which is reasonable for a dependency cache since:

  1. Results are deterministic
  2. Holding the lock during apt-cache calls would create significant contention

Also applies to: 265-267

cortex/progress_indicators.py (4)

117-123: Good addition of lock for thread-safe state management.

Adding _lock to protect the shared state (_current_message, _running, _spinner_idx, _thread) is essential for thread-safety when the animation runs in a background thread.


133-145: Well-structured animation loop with proper lock usage.

The loop correctly:

  1. Checks termination condition under lock
  2. Copies state to locals while holding lock
  3. Releases lock before I/O operations

This prevents deadlocks and minimizes contention.


152-174: Correct deadlock-free stop/fail implementation.

Capturing the thread reference under lock, then joining outside the lock prevents potential deadlock where:

  • stop() holds lock waiting for thread to exit
  • _animate() waits for lock to check _running

The 0.5s join timeout provides a safety net.


661-672: Correct double-checked locking for singleton initialization.

The pattern properly implements:

  1. Fast path without lock acquisition when already initialized
  2. Lock acquisition and re-check for thread-safe lazy initialization

This is the recommended approach for Python 3.14 free-threading.

cortex/semantic_cache.py (2)

88-92: Pool initialization and usage is correct.

The pool is initialized before any database operations, and the context manager pattern (with self._pool.get_connection() as conn) ensures connections are always returned to the pool, even if exceptions occur.


229-290: Database operations correctly use connection pooling.

All methods (get_commands, put_commands, stats) properly:

  1. Acquire connections via the pool context manager
  2. Commit transactions before exiting the context
  3. Automatically return connections to the pool

Also applies to: 315-343, 371-377

cortex/kernel_features/kv_cache_manager.py (1)

70-82: Read-only operations correctly use connection pooling.

get_pool and list_pools are read-only queries that don't require commits. The connection pooling usage is correct.

cortex/hardware_detection.py (3)

193-196: Good use of RLock for cache file protection.

Using a reentrant lock is appropriate here since _save_cache could potentially be called from contexts where the lock might already be held (though currently it isn't). The lock properly protects file I/O operations that could corrupt the cache if accessed concurrently.


252-302: Thread-safe cache loading with proper error handling.

The implementation correctly:

  1. Short-circuits before acquiring lock when caching is disabled
  2. Holds lock during file operations to prevent concurrent reads/writes
  3. Returns None on any failure, allowing fallback to fresh detection
  4. Logs failures at debug level (appropriate for cache misses)

304-315: Thread-safe cache saving implementation is correct.

Mirrors the load pattern with proper lock protection during file I/O.

cortex/graceful_degradation.py (3)

507-521: Well-implemented thread-safe singleton pattern.

The double-checked locking implementation is correct: fast path avoids lock contention, and the lock ensures only one instance is created under concurrent initialization. This aligns with the patterns used in transaction_history.py and meets the PR's free-threading objectives.


77-78: Pool initialization looks correct.

The ResponseCache properly initializes _pool as None before calling _init_db(), which then assigns the pool. This ensures the pool is ready before any DB operations.

Also applies to: 82-83


113-141: DB operations correctly use pooled connections.

The get() method properly uses the pool context manager and handles the read-then-update pattern within a single connection context. This is thread-safe with WAL mode.

cortex/context_memory.py (3)

20-21: Import changes for db_pool look correct.

The imports are properly ordered alphabetically (SQLiteConnectionPool, get_connection_pool), addressing the previous lint issue.


91-173: Database initialization correctly uses pooled connections.

The _init_database method properly initializes the pool and creates all tables and indexes within a single connection context. The commit at the end ensures atomicity.


185-213: record_interaction correctly uses pooled connection.

The method acquires a connection, performs the insert, commits, and then triggers pattern analysis outside the connection context. This is a clean separation.

cortex/utils/db_pool.py (2)

67-96: Good PRAGMA configuration for concurrent access.

The connection setup enables WAL mode, sets synchronous to NORMAL, and configures appropriate cache settings. This is well-suited for the free-threading use case with multiple readers and serialized writers.


180-221: Double-checked locking pattern correctly implemented.

The get_connection_pool function uses a fast path to avoid lock contention when the pool already exists, with proper locking for initialization. This is the standard pattern used throughout this PR.

tests/test_thread_safety.py (3)

83-123: Good concurrent read test pattern.

This test properly exercises the connection pool under concurrent read load with 20 threads performing 50 reads each. The assertion that all reads return 100 rows validates consistency.


126-175: Good concurrent write test pattern.

This test validates that 10 threads can each perform 20 writes without errors, and the final count matches expectations. The error collection pattern is useful for debugging failures.


268-323: Good stress test with mixed operations.

The test exercises 20 threads with 70% reads and 30% writes, providing realistic concurrent workload simulation. The @pytest.mark.slow marker appropriately flags this for selective execution.

429-434: Add lock protection to reset_stats().

The method directly mutates shared state (total_cost_usd, request_count, provider_stats) without acquiring self._stats_lock. This creates a race condition with _update_stats() and get_stats(), allowing lost updates and torn reads. The lock must protect all mutations to ensure atomicity.

When the with block exits, the connection is returned to the pool and becomes unavailable. Moving the commit inside the block ensures the connection remains valid when accessed.

319-363: Verify indentation and variable scope.

Line 332 (packages = json.loads(result[0])) appears to be inside the pool context, but lines 333-334 and the subsequent UPDATE query (lines 340-356) appear to have inconsistent indentation. If the pool context exits after line 330, then result[1], cursor, and conn would not be accessible for the remaining operations, causing a NameError or UnboundLocalError at runtime.

Ensure that the entire method body from lines 319-358 is within a single with self._pool.get_connection() as conn: block, or restructure to use separate pool contexts if needed. The indentation should make the scope clear.

45-64: Test will fail: get_detector() lacks thread-safe initialization.

This test correctly validates singleton behavior under concurrent access. However, per past review comments, get_detector() in cortex/hardware_detection.py is not currently thread-safe—it lacks the double-checked locking pattern present in get_history() and get_degradation_manager(). This test will fail under free-threading or high concurrency until the implementation is fixed.


196-200: Fallback masks potential hardware detection bugs.

The fallback to 1 if cores is 0 could hide race conditions where some threads get incorrect hardware info (0 cores) while others get correct values. Consider failing the test if any thread returns 0 cores to surface the underlying bug.

222-243: Test uses private _pool attribute, breaking encapsulation.

Lines 234-235 and 238-239 directly access pool._pool to manipulate connections. This makes the test brittle if the internal implementation changes. Consider adding public testing methods (e.g., get_available_count()) or restructuring the test to use only the public API.

210-212: Remove unlocked fast-path read of _pools.

Lines 211-212 read _pools without acquiring _pools_lock. Under Python 3.14 free-threading, this is a data race that violates the stated double-checked locking pattern. All accesses to _pools must be protected by the lock to ensure memory visibility and prevent race conditions.

🔇 Additional comments (16)
cortex/llm_router.py (3)

18-18: LGTM! Thread-safety infrastructure correctly added.

The threading import and lock initialization are properly placed. The lock is initialized in __init__, ensuring each router instance has its own stats lock.

Also applies to: 165-166


393-402: LGTM! Stats updates are now thread-safe.

The lock correctly protects all mutations to total_cost_usd, request_count, and provider_stats. This prevents lost updates under concurrent access.


404-427: LGTM! Stats reads are now thread-safe.

The lock ensures a consistent snapshot of statistics is returned, preventing torn reads where some stats might be from before an update and others from after.

tests/test_llm_router.py (1)

710-710: Formatting-only change.

The call to check_hardware_configs_parallel was reformatted from multi-line to single-line. No functional changes.

cortex/utils/db_pool.py (3)

19-66: LGTM! Pool initialization is sound.

The pool pre-creates all connections at initialization time and uses a thread-safe queue.Queue to manage them. The configurable pool_size, timeout, and check_same_thread parameters provide appropriate control.


67-96: LGTM! Connection configuration is optimal for concurrency.

The PRAGMA settings are well-chosen for concurrent access:

  • journal_mode=WAL enables multiple readers with a single writer
  • synchronous=NORMAL balances safety and performance
  • Large cache and memory temp store improve performance

98-136: LGTM! Connection context manager is robust.

The implementation correctly:

  • Acquires with timeout and raises TimeoutError with helpful message
  • Always returns the connection in the finally block
  • Defensively logs if queue.Full occurs (which shouldn't happen but is good to detect)
cortex/context_memory.py (4)

20-20: LGTM! Pool initialization is correct.

The connection pool is properly initialized using the global singleton pattern from get_connection_pool(), with a reasonable pool size of 5 connections.

Also applies to: 88-94


96-175: LGTM! Database initialization uses pooled connections correctly.

All table creation and index creation statements are executed within the pool context manager, and the commit is performed before the context exits. This ensures proper resource management.


177-215: LGTM! record_interaction correctly uses pooled connections.

The method properly acquires a connection from the pool, performs the insert, captures lastrowid, and commits within the context. The subsequent call to _analyze_patterns will acquire its own connection.


228-735: LGTM! Complete and consistent pool migration.

All database operations throughout the file consistently use the connection pool pattern with proper context management. Commits are performed within the pool contexts, and there are no direct sqlite3.connect() calls remaining.

cortex/installation_history.py (2)

20-20: LGTM! Pool initialization is correct.

The connection pool is properly initialized using the singleton pattern, with appropriate error handling for directory permissions.

Based on learnings, this module implements audit logging to ~/.cortex/history.db for all package operations as required.

Also applies to: 79-79, 97-97


370-421: LGTM! These methods correctly use pooled connections.

get_history, get_installation, rollback database update, and cleanup_old_records all properly use the connection pool with appropriate context management.

Also applies to: 426-455, 548-554, 616-628

tests/test_thread_safety.py (3)

89-129: LGTM! Concurrent read test is well-structured.

The test correctly validates that multiple threads can read from the pool simultaneously and get consistent results. Proper cleanup in the finally block ensures resources are released.


132-183: LGTM! Concurrent write test validates contention handling.

The test correctly validates that the pool handles concurrent writes without data loss or corruption, verifying the final row count matches expectations.


246-270: LGTM! Remaining tests are well-designed.

The context manager test, stress test with mixed operations, and standalone runner all provide valuable validation of thread-safety and concurrent behavior.

Also applies to: 273-330, 333-356

199-200: Fallback to 1 core masks detection failures.

The fallback cores = info.cpu.cores if info.cpu.cores > 0 else 1 hides potential bugs where hardware detection returns 0 cores in some threads. If info.cpu.cores is 0, that indicates a failure in detection logic that should be investigated rather than papered over.

Consider failing the test if any thread reports 0 cores, or at minimum logging a warning.

🔎 Proposed fix
     def detect_hardware():
         try:
             detector = get_detector()
             info = detector.detect()

-            # Use multiprocessing.cpu_count() as fallback if cores is 0
-            cores = info.cpu.cores if info.cpu.cores > 0 else 1

             errors.append(str(e))

Based on learnings, this fallback was previously flagged as masking potential bugs in hardware detection.


222-243: Test doesn't verify timeout behavior.

The test claims to verify that "connection pool times out appropriately when exhausted" but it only gets two connections and immediately returns them. It never attempts to exhaust the pool or trigger a timeout.

To properly test timeout, hold connections using the public get_connection() context manager and attempt to acquire more than the pool size.

🔎 Proposed fix following past review guidance

🧹 Nitpick comments (1)
tests/test_thread_safety.py (1)

273-330: Consider verifying expected write count range.

The stress test is well-designed, but the final assertion assert count > 0 is quite loose. With 20 threads × 50 operations × 30% write probability, you'd expect approximately 300 writes. Consider asserting the count is within a reasonable range (e.g., 250–350) to catch issues where writes are being dropped.

🔎 Proposed enhancement
         # Verify database integrity
         with pool.get_connection() as conn:
             cursor = conn.cursor()
             cursor.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM stress")
             count = cursor.fetchone()[0]
-            # Should have some writes (not exact count due to randomness)
-            assert count > 0, "No writes occurred"
+            # 20 threads * 50 ops * 30% writes = ~300 expected
+            # Allow wide margin for randomness: 200-400 range

23-42: LGTM! Strong concurrency test for transaction history singleton.

The test hammers the singleton with 1,000 concurrent initialization attempts across 100 threads and correctly verifies only a single instance is created. Based on the double-checked locking implementation in get_history(), this should pass reliably.


67-86: LGTM! Proper thread-safety validation for degradation manager.

The test correctly verifies singleton behavior under concurrency. The underlying get_degradation_manager() uses double-checked locking, so this should pass reliably.


89-129: LGTM! Comprehensive concurrent read validation.

The test properly exercises the connection pool with 1,000 concurrent reads across 20 threads and verifies consistency. Cleanup is handled correctly in the finally block.


132-183: LGTM! Solid concurrent write verification.

The test correctly validates that the connection pool handles 200 concurrent writes without errors or data loss. Error collection and final count verification are appropriate. Cleanup is proper.


333-356: Quick test suite omits several tests.

The standalone runner executes only 5 of 8 tests, omitting:

  • test_hardware_detection_parallel
  • test_connection_pool_timeout (currently broken)
  • test_connection_pool_context_manager (currently broken)
  • test_stress_concurrent_operations (slow)

This is reasonable for quick validation, but ensure all tests (once fixed) are regularly executed via pytest.


246-270: SQLiteConnectionPool implements context manager protocol — test is valid.

The SQLiteConnectionPool class (lines 155-172 in cortex/utils/db_pool.py) implements both __enter__ and __exit__ methods, making it a valid context manager. The test correctly uses with SQLiteConnectionPool(...) as pool: and will work as intended.

Test will fail: get_detector() implementation lacks thread-safe synchronization.

The tested function uses unsafe lazy initialization without locking. Multiple threads can simultaneously see _detector_instance is None and each create separate HardwareDetector instances, causing the assertion to fail.

Fix required: Add double-checked locking to get_detector():

_detector_lock = threading.Lock()

def get_detector() -> HardwareDetector:
    """Get the global hardware detector instance."""
    global _detector_instance
    if _detector_instance is None:
        with _detector_lock:
            if _detector_instance is None:
                _detector_instance = HardwareDetector()
    return _detector_instance
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
