From c432e90f62cf356437db71edd07d90b5901230ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ZdenekSrotyr Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 22:36:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix(bq-materialize): TTL reclaim was dead code (Devin Review on extractor.py:166) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `_try_acquire_file_lock` opened the lock file with `open(mode='w')` BEFORE the mtime check, which truncated the file and refreshed mtime to now. The subsequent age check always saw ~0, so the TTL reclaim branch was never reachable and `materialize.lock_ttl_seconds` was a silently no-op config knob. Repro: before open(w): mtime age = 100000s after open(w): mtime age = 0s Fix: stat the lock path BEFORE any open(). If pre-probe mtime is older than TTL, unlink (forcing a fresh inode for the open + flock that follows). Order is now stat-then-decide-then-probe, not probe-then-stat-then-decide. Two regression tests added in tests/test_bq_materialize_concurrency.py: - test_stale_held_lock_is_reclaimed_despite_live_holder — exercises the full reclaim path with a still-living fcntl holder. Pre-fix this returned None (in_flight forever); post-fix returns a holder fd on a new inode. - test_failed_probe_does_not_self_refresh_lock_mtime — sister test pins that a failed acquisition's mode='w' truncate doesn't pathologically loop. Residual cross-process risk (genuinely overrunning materialize past TTL races a fresh attempt — both write to the same parquet.tmp, inode-level flock independence means new acquisition succeeds while old holder is still alive) stays documented in the helper docstring. In-process threading.Lock keyed on table_id blocks the single-process race; cross-process protection relies on TTL being well above longest plausible COPY (24h default). --- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + connectors/bigquery/extractor.py | 93 +++++++++++++---------- tests/test_bq_materialize_concurrency.py | 97 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 151 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 42ee5e5..dae2c4f 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -39,6 +39,7 @@ End-to-end clean-analyst-bootstrap rewrite.

The subsequent `time.time() - lock_path.stat().st_mtime` always saw age ~0, so `age > TTL` never fired, and `materialize.lock_ttl_seconds` was a silently no-op config knob. Fix: stat the lock path BEFORE any `open()` to read the real pre-probe mtime; if older than TTL, unlink (forcing a fresh inode for the next `open + flock`); only then probe. Two regression tests added: `test_stale_held_lock_is_reclaimed_despite_live_holder` exercises the full reclaim path with a still-living fcntl holder, `test_failed_probe_does_not_self_refresh_lock_mtime` pins that a failed acquisition doesn't pathologically loop. Residual cross-process risk (a genuinely overrunning materialize past TTL races a fresh attempt) is documented in the helper docstring; in-process `threading.Lock` keyed on `table_id` blocks the single-process race. - **`agnes init --token X` now correctly uses the explicit token in the verify call**, even when `~/.config/agnes/token.json` already holds a stale token from a prior install. Pre-fix `cli.config.get_token()` read the on-disk file first and only fell back to env vars, so step 2 (PAT-verify) ran with the stale token and failed with a confusing 401 — even though the `--token` arg was valid (Devin Review on `init.py:99`). Fix: a `ContextVar`-based override in `cli.config` short-circuits `get_token()` before the file read; `_override_server_env` (used by both `agnes init` and `agnes pull`'s `run_pull`) sets it for the duration of the call. Async-safe (each task sees its own override) and leak-proof (resets on context exit). - **`agnes status` sessions counter now reads the same source as `agnes push`** — `~/.claude/projects//` (Claude Code's actual write path) with the legacy `/user/sessions/` as a fallback, via `cli.lib.claude_sessions.list_session_files()`. Pre-fix the counter only checked the legacy dir and always reported 0 in workspaces bootstrapped with `agnes init` (since Claude Code never writes there). - **BigQuery materialize lock-reclaim docstring** at `connectors/bigquery/extractor.py:_try_acquire_file_lock` corrected: a still-running holder's `fcntl.flock` does NOT block the post-unlink reacquisition (new file = new inode = independent lock). The in-process `threading.Lock` keyed on `table_id` is the actual concurrency guard; cross-process protection (two schedulers on one workspace) relies on operators not running multiple concurrent schedulers AND on the TTL being well above the longest plausible COPY (24 h default). Documenting the residual risk so it isn't masked by a misleading "we're safe" comment (Devin Review on extractor.py:111). diff --git a/connectors/bigquery/extractor.py b/connectors/bigquery/extractor.py index 86dae0a..c140dd6 100644 --- a/connectors/bigquery/extractor.py +++ b/connectors/bigquery/extractor.py @@ -105,7 +105,16 @@ def _try_acquire_file_lock(lock_path: Path): on conflict.
