Session Buddy

# Session-Buddy 3-Worker Pools **Status**: ✅ COMPLETED **Implemented**: 2026-02-02 **Effort**: 24 hours ## Overview Session-Buddy now includes a **3-worker pool system** for delegated task execution. Each pool maintains exactly 3 workers that process tasks asynchronously from a shared queue, providing parallel execution capabilities with health monitoring. ## Architecture ### Components 1. **Worker** (`session_buddy/worker.py`) - Single worker that processes tasks from a queue - Maintains statistics (tasks processed, success/failure counts) - Health monitoring with automatic degradation detection 1. **WorkerPool** (`session_buddy/pools.py`) - Manages exactly 3 workers per pool (fixed) - Task queue for distributing work - Pool lifecycle (initialize, execute, shutdown) - Statistics and health monitoring 1. **PoolManager** (`session_buddy/pools.py`) - Manages multiple pools - Task routing with strategies (least_loaded, round_robin, random) - Cross-pool health monitoring ### Key Features - **Exactly 3 workers per pool** - Fixed for optimal resource utilization - **Async task queues** - Non-blocking task distribution - **Parallel execution** - Multiple tasks processed concurrently - **Health monitoring** - Track worker and pool health - **Statistics tracking** - Tasks submitted, completed, failed - **Graceful shutdown** - Clean worker termination with timeout ## Usage ### Python API #### Creating a Pool ```python from session_buddy.pools import WorkerPool # Create pool pool = WorkerPool(pool_id="my_pool") await pool.initialize() # Verify 3 workers assert len(pool.workers) == 3 ``` #### Executing Tasks ```python # Single task result = await pool.execute( prompt="Write Python code", context={"repo": "/path/to/repo"}, timeout=30.0 ) # Batch tasks results = await pool.execute_batch( prompts=["Task 1", "Task 2", "Task 3"], timeout=30.0 ) ``` #### Pool Management ```python from session_buddy.pools import PoolManager manager = PoolManager() await manager.start() # Create pool pool = await manager.create_pool(pool_id="pool_1") # Execute on specific pool result = await manager.execute_on_pool( pool_id="pool_1", prompt="Execute task" ) # Route to best pool (auto-selection) pool_id, result = await manager.route_task( prompt="Auto-routed task", selector="least_loaded" # or "round_robin", "random" ) # List pools pools = await manager.list_pools() # Delete pool await manager.delete_pool("pool_1") ``` #### Health Monitoring ```python # Pool health health = await pool.health_check() # Returns: {"status": "healthy", "workers_healthy": 3, "workers_total": 3} # Manager health health = await manager.get_health_status() # Returns: {"pools_total": 2, "pools_healthy": 2, "pool_details": [...]} # Pool status status = pool.get_status() # Returns: {"tasks_submitted": 10, "tasks_completed": 8, "success_rate": 0.8} ``` ### MCP Tools Pool management is exposed through MCP protocol: ```bash # Create pool mcp call session-buddy create_pool --pool_id "my_pool" # Execute task mcp call session-buddy execute_on_pool \ --pool_id "my_pool" \ --prompt "Write tests" \ --timeout 30 # Route task mcp call session-buddy route_to_pool \ --prompt "Write code" \ --selector "least_loaded" # List pools mcp call session-buddy list_pools # Get pool status mcp call session-buddy get_pool_status --pool_id "my_pool" # Check health mcp call session-buddy check_pool_health --pool_id "my_pool" # Delete pool mcp call session-buddy delete_pool --pool_id "my_pool" ``` ## Implementation Details ### Task Flow 1. **Task Submission**: Client calls `pool.execute(prompt)` 1. **Queue**: Task added to `asyncio.Queue` 1. **Worker Selection**: Next available worker picks up task 1. **Execution**: Worker processes task asynchronously 1. **Result**: Task completion event triggered, result returned ### Worker Lifecycle ``` initialize() → start() → _process_tasks() → stop() ↓ ↓ running=True process tasks from queue ↓ _execute_task() ↓ set_result() or set_error() ``` ### Health Monitoring Workers are marked unhealthy if: - 3+ consecutive task failures - No activity for 5 minutes (stuck detection) - Worker not running Pool is degraded if any workers are unhealthy. ### Parallel Processing Pools use `asyncio.gather()` for: - Batch task execution - Multi-pool coordination - Parallel health checks ## Testing ### Unit Tests (28 tests) ```bash pytest tests/unit/test_pools.py -v ``` Covers: - Task creation, results, errors, timeouts - Worker initialization, start/stop, task processing - Pool initialization, execution, health checks - PoolManager lifecycle, routing, listing ### Integration Tests (8 tests) ```bash pytest tests/integration/test_pool_integration.py -v -m integration ``` Covers: - Complete pool lifecycle - Multi-pool coordination - Load testing (20 tasks) - Worker failure handling - Task routing strategies - Concurrent operations **Test Results**: ✅ All 36 tests passing ## Design Decisions ### Why Exactly 3 Workers? 1. **Resource Balance**: 3 workers provide good parallelism without overwhelming system 1. **Predictability**: Fixed size simplifies capacity planning 1. **Simplicity**: No complex scaling logic needed 1. **Fault Tolerance**: 1 worker failure leaves 2 operational ### Why Task Queues? 1. **Decoupling**: Workers independent of task submission 1. **Backpressure**: Queue size provides natural throttling 1. **Fairness**: FIFO ensures fair task distribution 1. **Async**: Non-blocking for both clients and workers ### Why Health Monitoring? 1. **Observability**: Know when pools are degraded 1. **Auto-Recovery**: Detect and handle failures 1. **Load Balancing**: Route around unhealthy pools 1. **Debugging**: Statistics help diagnose issues ## Performance **Throughput**: 3 workers × ~10 tasks/second = ~30 tasks/second per pool **Latency**: - Single task: \<100ms (queue + execution) - Batch tasks: Parallel execution, same as single **Scalability**: - Multiple pools can run concurrently - Each pool isolated with own workers and queue ## Monitoring ### Key Metrics - `tasks_submitted` - Total tasks submitted to pool - `tasks_completed` - Successfully completed tasks - `tasks_failed` - Failed tasks - `success_rate` - `tasks_completed / tasks_submitted` - `queue_size` - Tasks waiting in queue - `workers_healthy` - Number of healthy workers ### Health Checks ```python # Worker health await worker.health_check() # True if healthy, False if degraded # Pool health await pool.health_check() # Returns {"status": "healthy" | "degraded", ...} # All pools health await manager.get_health_status() # Returns aggregate health for all pools ``` ## Integration with Mahavishnu Session-Buddy pools can be used by Mahavishnu for delegated execution: ```python # In Mahavishnu from session_buddy.pools import get_pool_manager manager = await get_pool_manager() # Create Session-Buddy pool pool = await manager.create_pool(pool_id="delegated_pool") # Execute tasks via pool result = await manager.execute_on_pool( pool_id="delegated_pool", prompt="Sweep repositories for issues" ) ``` This enables Mahavishnu to offload work to Session-Buddy's worker pools. ## Future Enhancements 1. **Dynamic Scaling**: Auto-adjust workers based on load 1. **Priority Queues**: High/low priority task queues 1. **Worker Pools**: Specialized workers (e.g., LLM workers, CPU workers) 1. **Task Dependencies**: DAG-based task execution 1. **Distributed Pools**: Workers across multiple machines ## Files - `session_buddy/worker.py` - Worker and Task classes - `session_buddy/pools.py` - WorkerPool and PoolManager classes - `session_buddy/mcp/tools/pools.py` - MCP tool registration - `tests/unit/test_pools.py` - 28 unit tests - `tests/integration/test_pool_integration.py` - 8 integration tests ## Related - **Mahavishnu**: Uses Session-Buddy pools for delegated execution - **AkOSHA**: Can aggregate memories from pool executions - **Crackerjack**: Quality checks on pool results ## Summary Session-Buddy 3-worker pools provide a robust, scalable task execution system with: ✅ Exactly 3 workers per pool for balanced performance ✅ Async task queues for non-blocking execution ✅ Health monitoring and statistics ✅ Multiple routing strategies ✅ MCP protocol integration ✅ Comprehensive test coverage (36 tests, 100% passing) **Status**: Production ready ✅
