  • cargo clippy -p agentflare-resource-gate --lib --tests -- -D warnings -A unsafe_code -A clippy::pedantic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Resource-gate policy updates now stay consistent when a forced-resume setting changes, including before the gate is initialized. Changes to the setting are applied immediately when the gate is active.

…olicy() reads

Serializing writers by holding STATE's RwLock write guard across
sample_policy() (per CodeRabbit's suggested fix on PR #805) fixed the
stale-overwrite race but introduced a new problem: sample_policy() sleeps
~250ms inside Signals::sample()'s CPU probe, and holding the write guard
across that sleep blocks current_policy()'s .read() on the hot dispatch
path it's supposed to be a cheap read from.

Add a separate WRITER_LOCK mutex to serialize the sampler thread against
force_resume()/clear_force_resume() (fixing the original race) while
keeping STATE's write guard held only for the final assignment, so readers
never block on the slow sample. Also dedupe force_resume/clear_force_resume
into a shared set_force_resume() helper.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The sampler and force-resume operations now serialize policy updates through a shared writer mutex. The sampler computes policy before acquiring the state write lock. Force-resume updates the override flag and re-samples policy when state is initialized.

Changes

Policy writer synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Serialize policy updates
crates/agentflare-resource-gate/src/gate.rs
The sampler now holds the writer mutex while sampling, then acquires the state write lock to store the result. force_resume and clear_force_resume use set_force_resume, which updates the override flag and re-samples policy when state is initialized.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ddddd

A concurrent override during library initialization can briefly delay gate-controlled work. The dashboard is unaffected; merging is reasonable with a follow-up to serialize initialization.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Serialize initial sampling with override updates.

init_global() can publish Policy::Paused { reason: UserDisabled } after a library consumer calls force_resume(). The supervisor then defers discovery and repair work, which remains retryable, until the next sampler tick, up to 30 seconds. The inverse race with clear_force_resume() can temporarily publish an Auto-derived policy after Off mode is restored.

The dashboard initializes the gate before accepting requests, but the public library API permits this race.

🐛 Suggested fix
     let cfg = GateConfig::from_env();
+    let _writer = WRITER_LOCK.lock().unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner());
     let initial = sample_policy(&cfg);
