# MCPM Comprehensive Bug Report **Date:** 2025-11-08 **Focus:** GUI and Backend Critical Issues --- ## 🚨 CRITICAL BUGS (High Priority) ### ⚠️ MEMORY SYSTEM CRITICAL ISSUES #### MEMORY-1. **Context Persistence Bug WAS FIXED** ✅ **Severity:** CRITICAL (NOW RESOLVED) **Location:** mcp_backend.py MemoryStore (Line 119) **Issue:** In old version, `add_context()` did NOT call `_save()`, so all context was lost on server restart. **Status:** FIXED - Line 119 now includes `self._save() # FIX: Persist context to disk immediately` **Impact:** Chat history and file operation context now persists across restarts. #### MEMORY-2. **Silent Write Failures** ⚠️ **Severity:** CRITICAL **Location:** mcp_backend.py `MemoryStore._save()` (Lines 80-94) **Issue:** Exceptions during save are caught and logged but NOT re-raised. If the directory doesn't exist or is read-only, writes silently fail. **Impact:** Users think data is saved but it's not. COMPLETE DATA LOSS. **Test Result:** Confirmed - write to `/nonexistent/path/.fgd_memory.json` logs error but doesn't raise exception. **Fix Required:** Re-raise exception after logging, or return boolean success/failure. ```python # Current code: except Exception as e: logger.error(f"❌ Memory save error: {e}") # SILENTLY CONTINUES - DATA LOST! ``` #### MEMORY-3. **Race Condition in Memory Store** ⚠️ **Severity:** CRITICAL **Location:** mcp_backend.py `MemoryStore` (entire class) **Issue:** No file locking mechanism. Multiple MemoryStore instances (API server + MCP backend) can overwrite each other's changes. **Impact:** DATA CORRUPTION - one process's writes overwrite another's. **Test Result:** Confirmed - Store2 completely overwrote Store1's data. **Fix Required:** Implement file locking (fcntl/msvcrt) or use database. #### MEMORY-4. **Timestamp Collision in Chat Keys** ⚠️ **Severity:** HIGH **Location:** mcp_backend.py `llm_query` tool (Line 851) **Issue:** Chat conversations keyed by timestamp: `f"chat_{timestamp}"`. In rapid succession, timestamps can collide. **Impact:** Second chat with same timestamp OVERWRITES first chat. Data loss. **Test Result:** 16 duplicate timestamps in 100 rapid calls (16% collision rate!) **Fix Required:** Use UUID or monotonic counter instead of timestamp. ```python # Current code: self.memory.remember(f"chat_{timestamp}", conversation_entry, "conversations") # If two chats in same microsecond, second overwrites first! ``` #### MEMORY-5. **Unbounded Memory Growth** ⚠️ **Severity:** HIGH **Location:** mcp_backend.py `MemoryStore` (Lines 96-104) **Issue:** Context is limited to 20 entries, but `memories` dict has NO SIZE LIMIT. Long-running servers accumulate unlimited data. **Impact:** Memory file grows to 10MB+ (tested with 10,000 entries = 10.39 MB). Slow loads, high memory usage. **Test Result:** Confirmed - no pruning mechanism exists. **Fix Required:** Implement memory pruning strategy (LRU, time-based, size-based). #### MEMORY-6. **World-Readable Memory Files** 🔒 **Severity:** MEDIUM (Security) **Location:** mcp_backend.py `MemoryStore._save()` (Line 88) **Issue:** Memory files created with default permissions (644 = world-readable). Contains sensitive data like API responses, file contents, chat history. **Impact:** INFORMATION DISCLOSURE - any user on system can read. **Test Result:** Confirmed - file permissions are `-rw-r--r--`. **Fix Required:** Set restrictive permissions (600) on memory files. #### MEMORY-7. **No Atomic Writes** ⚠️ **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** mcp_backend.py `MemoryStore._save()` (Line 88) **Issue:** Uses `write_text()` which is not atomic. If process crashes mid-write, file is corrupted. **Impact:** Corrupted memory file, data loss. **Fix Required:** Write to temp file, then atomic rename. ```python # Current non-atomic: self.memory_file.write_text(json.dumps(full_data, indent=2)) # Should be: temp = self.memory_file.with_suffix('.tmp') temp.write_text(json.dumps(full_data, indent=2)) temp.replace(self.memory_file) # Atomic on POSIX ``` --- ### gui_main_pro.py #### 1. **Race Condition in Subprocess Output Reading** (Lines 1555-1595) **Severity:** HIGH **Location:** `_read_subprocess_stdout()` and `_read_subprocess_stderr()` **Issue:** The background threads use `readline()` which can block indefinitely if the subprocess doesn't flush output or hangs. Daemon threads won't exit cleanly when the main program closes. **Impact:** Potential zombie threads, resource leaks, and application hang on exit. **Fix Required:** Implement non-blocking I/O or use `select`/`poll` with timeout. ```python # Current problematic code: def _read_subprocess_stdout(self): try: while self.process and self.process.poll() is None: try: line = self.process.stdout.readline() # BLOCKS INDEFINITELY if not line: break ``` #### 2. **Unchecked Process State Access** (Line 1598) **Severity:** HIGH **Location:** `toggle_server()` **Issue:** `self.process.poll()` is called without checking if process object is in valid state. Can raise AttributeError or OSError. **Impact:** Application crash when toggling server if process is in invalid state. **Fix Required:** Add try-except around `poll()` call. ```python # Current code: if self.process and self.process.poll() is None: # poll() can raise! ``` #### 3. **Memory Leak in Log Viewer** (Lines 1704-1736) **Severity:** HIGH **Location:** `update_logs()` **Issue:** Entire log file is read into memory every second with no size check. As logs grow (MB+), this causes severe performance degradation and eventual OOM. **Impact:** GUI freezes, high CPU usage, memory exhaustion on long-running servers. **Fix Required:** Implement log rotation, pagination, or tail-only reading. ```python # Current code reads ENTIRE file every second: lines = self.log_file.read_text().splitlines() # NO SIZE CHECK! ``` #### 4. **Path Resolution Fragility** (Lines 1664-1671) **Severity:** HIGH **Location:** `start_server()` **Issue:** Backend script path constructed from `__file__` will fail if GUI is: - Run from different directory - Frozen with PyInstaller/cx_Freeze - Symlinked **Impact:** Server fails to start with cryptic error. **Fix Required:** Use proper resource path resolution or require backend in same directory. ```python # Current fragile code: backend_script = mcpm_root / "mcp_backend.py" if not backend_script.exists(): # Will fail in many scenarios ``` --- ### mcp_backend.py #### 5. **Race Condition in Approval File Handling** (Lines 336-388) **Severity:** CRITICAL **Location:** `_approval_monitor_loop()` **Issue:** Approval file is read and deleted without file locking. If multiple processes or the GUI accesses simultaneously, data corruption or lost approvals can occur. **Impact:** Lost edit approvals, file corruption, inconsistent state. **Fix Required:** Implement file locking (fcntl on Unix, msvcrt on Windows) or use atomic operations. ```python # Current code has NO LOCKING: approval_data = json.loads(approval_file.read_text()) # ... process ... approval_file.unlink() # Race condition if GUI writes simultaneously ``` #### 6. **Silent File Watcher Failure** (Lines 315-323) **Severity:** HIGH **Location:** `_start_watcher()` **Issue:** If file watcher fails to start (permissions, inotify limits), the exception is caught and only logged as warning. Server continues without change detection. **Impact:** File changes not detected, broken functionality with no user notification. **Fix Required:** Fail fast or prominently warn user. ```python # Current code: except Exception as e: logger.warning(f"File watcher failed: {e}") # Server continues broken! ``` #### 7. **Unbounded Memory Growth** (Lines 115-119) **Severity:** MEDIUM-HIGH **Location:** `MemoryStore.add_context()` **Issue:** Context is limited to `context_limit` entries, but old entries are discarded without archiving. Long-running servers lose important historical context. **Impact:** Context loss, no audit trail, debugging difficulties. **Fix Required:** Implement context archiving or rotation to separate file. #### 8. **Incomplete .gitignore Support** (Lines 436-460) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `_matches_gitignore()` **Issue:** Uses `fnmatch` which doesn't support: - Negation patterns (`!important.log`) - Double-asterisk globbing (`**/test/*.py`) - Full .gitignore specification **Impact:** Files incorrectly ignored or included. **Fix Required:** Use proper gitignore library (e.g., `pathspec`). #### 9. **Ambiguous Edit Detection** (Lines 674-679) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `edit_file` tool **Issue:** Only checks if `old_text` exists in file, not if it appears multiple times. If text appears multiple times, wrong occurrence might be replaced. **Impact:** Incorrect edits, data corruption. **Fix Required:** Require exact match or line number specification. ```python # Current code: if old_text not in content: return [TextContent(type="text", text="Old text not found")] # But what if old_text appears 5 times? ``` #### 10. **Git Operations Without Timeout** (Lines 476-491, 751-820) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `_check_git_available()`, `git_diff`, `git_log` **Issue:** Git commands run without timeout. If git hangs (network repo, corrupted index), the server hangs. **Impact:** Server deadlock, unresponsive application. **Fix Required:** Add timeout to all git subprocess calls. --- ### server.py (API Server) #### 11. **Silent Provider Validation Failure** (Lines 106-113) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `StartRequest.validate_provider()` **Issue:** Invalid provider is silently converted to 'grok' with only a log warning. User doesn't know their requested provider was ignored. **Impact:** Unexpected behavior, wrong LLM used. **Fix Required:** Raise ValidationError for invalid providers. ```python # Current code: if v not in valid_providers: logger.warning(f"Invalid provider '{v}', falling back to 'grok'") return 'grok' # SILENT FAILURE ``` #### 12. **Denial of Service via Directory Traversal** (Lines 195-198) **Severity:** HIGH (Security) **Location:** `/api/suggest` endpoint **Issue:** Uses `rglob("*")` on filesystem without depth limit. Attacker can cause DoS by requesting suggestion on root directory. **Impact:** Server hang, resource exhaustion. **Fix Required:** Limit recursion depth and total files scanned. ```python # Current code: dirs = [str(p.relative_to(base)) for p in base.rglob("*") if p.is_dir()] # No depth limit! Can scan entire filesystem! ``` #### 13. **Race Condition in Server State** (Lines 269-289) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `/api/start` endpoint **Issue:** `RUN` dictionary is modified without locking. Concurrent API requests can cause race conditions. **Impact:** Corrupted server state, crashes. **Fix Required:** Use threading lock or asyncio lock for RUN dict. #### 14. **Private Method Encapsulation Violation** (Line 474) **Severity:** LOW-MEDIUM **Location:** `/api/llm_query` endpoint **Issue:** Calls `RUN["server"]._get_mcp_status_context()` - private method from another class. **Impact:** Brittle code, breaks if backend refactored. **Fix Required:** Make method public or use proper interface. --- ## ⚠️ MODERATE BUGS ### gui_main_pro.py #### 15. **Toast Notification Memory Leak** (Line 996) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `show_toast()` **Issue:** Toast removal lambda can fail if toast already removed, and positions aren't recalculated when toasts close. **Impact:** Overlapping toasts, memory leak with many notifications. **Fix Required:** Use WeakSet or proper cleanup mechanism. #### 16. **Timestamp Comparison Fragility** (Lines 1828-1830) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `check_pending_edits()` **Issue:** Timestamp comparison uses string equality which works but is fragile. **Impact:** Changes missed if timestamp format varies. **Fix Required:** Parse timestamps and compare as datetime objects. ```python # Current fragile code: if self.pending_edit and self.pending_edit.get("timestamp") == pending_data.get("timestamp"): return # String equality! ``` #### 17. **Duplicate Process Termination Logic** (Lines 1597-1626, 2030-2045) **Severity:** LOW-MEDIUM **Location:** `toggle_server()` and `closeEvent()` **Issue:** Process termination logic duplicated in two places. Maintenance burden and potential inconsistency. **Impact:** Code smell, harder to maintain. **Fix Required:** Extract to `_terminate_process()` method. #### 18. **Memory Update Race Condition** (Lines 1754-1756) **Severity:** LOW **Location:** `update_memory_explorer()` **Issue:** Uses file mtime for change detection. If file written multiple times in same second, changes missed. **Impact:** Stale memory view. **Fix Required:** Use file hash or content comparison. #### 19. **Missing Highlighter Cleanup** (Line 1236) **Severity:** LOW **Location:** `_create_explorer_tab()` **Issue:** Syntax highlighter created but not stored for cleanup or reconfiguration. **Impact:** Minor resource leak. **Fix Required:** Store as `self.preview_highlighter` (it's done correctly elsewhere). --- ### mcp_backend.py #### 20. **Missing Memory Save Retry Logic** (Lines 80-94) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `MemoryStore._save()` **Issue:** No retry mechanism for transient failures (disk full, temporary permissions issues). **Impact:** Lost memory data. **Fix Required:** Implement exponential backoff retry. #### 21. **Generic Exception Handling Loses Context** (Lines 206-212) **Severity:** LOW-MEDIUM **Location:** `LLMBackend.query()` **Issue:** Catches generic Exception, loses specific error information for debugging. **Impact:** Hard to diagnose LLM failures. **Fix Required:** Catch specific exception types separately. #### 22. **Hardcoded Timeout** (Line 139) **Severity:** LOW **Location:** `LLMBackend.query()` **Issue:** 30-second timeout hardcoded for all LLM providers. Some might need longer (complex prompts) or shorter. **Impact:** Premature timeouts or excessive waits. **Fix Required:** Make timeout configurable per provider. #### 23. **File Size Limit Without Chunking** (Lines 622-634) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `read_file` tool **Issue:** 250KB file size limit with no way to read larger files in chunks. **Impact:** Large files completely inaccessible. **Fix Required:** Add chunk reading support or increase limit with warning. #### 24. **Git Add All Behavior** (Line 785) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** `git_commit` tool **Issue:** Runs `git add .` which stages ALL changes. User might want selective commits. **Impact:** Unintended files committed. **Fix Required:** Add parameter to specify files to commit. ```python # Current code: subprocess.run(["git", "add", "."], ...) # Adds EVERYTHING ``` --- ## 🔍 MINOR BUGS & CODE SMELLS ### gui_main_pro.py #### 25. **Multiline Highlighting Edge Case** (Lines 305-306) **Severity:** LOW **Location:** `PythonHighlighter._match_multiline()` **Issue:** Complex boolean return logic might not handle all edge cases correctly. **Impact:** Occasional syntax highlighting glitches. #### 26. **Property Naming Convention** (Lines 467-468) **Severity:** VERY LOW **Location:** `AnimatedButton` **Issue:** PyQt properties use camelCase (`hoverProgress`) instead of Python snake_case. **Impact:** Style inconsistency. #### 27. **No Backend Validation Before Launch** (Lines 1677-1690) **Severity:** LOW **Location:** `start_server()` **Issue:** Only checks if backend script exists, doesn't validate it's executable or correct version. **Impact:** Cryptic startup failures. --- ### server.py #### 28. **Deprecated FastAPI Event Handlers** (Lines 614-640) **Severity:** LOW **Location:** `startup_event()`, `shutdown_event()` **Issue:** Uses deprecated `@app.on_event()` decorator. Should use lifespan context manager. **Impact:** Will break in future FastAPI versions. #### 29. **Arbitrary Suggestion Limit** (Line 198) **Severity:** VERY LOW **Location:** `/api/suggest` endpoint **Issue:** Hardcoded 100 directory limit with no explanation. **Impact:** Inconsistent user experience. --- ### claude_bridge.py #### 30. **Fragile Command Parsing** (Lines 74-101) **Severity:** MEDIUM **Location:** Main command loop **Issue:** Uses `"command" in user.lower()` which matches ANY string containing the word (e.g., "I want to commit later" triggers commit). **Impact:** Unintended command execution. **Fix Required:** Use proper command parsing with exact match or regex. ```python # Current fragile code: elif command == "commit" or "commit" in user.lower(): # Matches "I don't want to commit" !! ``` #### 31. **Fallback Parsing Loses Quoted Paths** (Lines 38-41) **Severity:** LOW **Location:** `parse_command()` **Issue:** If `shlex.split()` fails, falls back to simple split, losing quoted path support. **Impact:** Paths with spaces break. --- ### test_path_validation.py #### 32. **Incomplete Windows Path Detection** (Lines 18-20) **Severity:** LOW **Location:** `validate_paths()` **Issue:** Regex doesn't handle UNC paths (`\\server\share`), network paths, or other Windows formats. **Impact:** False negatives on validation. --- ### test_watch_dir_validation.py #### 33. **Hacky Test Object Creation** (Lines 12-14) **Severity:** VERY LOW **Location:** `_make_server()` **Issue:** Creates server object without calling `__init__` using `object.__new__()`. Brittle if `__init__` changes. **Impact:** Tests might not catch real initialization bugs. --- ## 🛡️ SECURITY CONCERNS ### 1. **Path Traversal Risk** **Location:** mcp_backend.py `_sanitize()` (Line 416-421) **Issue:** While there's path traversal protection, it relies on string prefix checking which can be bypassed with symlinks. **Fix Required:** Use `os.path.realpath()` and compare canonical paths. ### 2. **No Input Sanitization on Edit Operations** **Location:** mcp_backend.py `edit_file` (Lines 667-741) **Issue:** Old text and new text parameters not sanitized. Could contain malicious content. **Impact:** Potential code injection if misused. ### 3. **Unrestricted Git Command Execution** **Location:** mcp_backend.py git commands (Lines 751-820) **Issue:** Git commands run with user-provided input (commit messages, file paths) without sanitization. **Impact:** Command injection risk. --- ## 📊 PERFORMANCE ISSUES ### 1. **Log File Reading** (gui_main_pro.py:1704-1736) - Reading entire log file every second without size check - Can cause UI freezes with large logs (10MB+) ### 2. **Directory Recursion** (server.py:195-198) - Unbounded `rglob("*")` can scan millions of files - DoS vulnerability ### 3. **Memory Store Growing Unbounded** (mcp_backend.py:96-104) - Memories dict never pruned, only context limited - Long-running servers accumulate data --- ## 🧪 TESTING GAPS ### Missing Test Coverage: 1. **No GUI tests** - Critical UI logic untested 2. **No integration tests** - Components tested in isolation only 3. **No error injection tests** - Failure scenarios not tested 4. **No performance tests** - No regression detection for perf issues 5. **No security tests** - Path traversal, injection not tested --- ## 🎯 RECOMMENDED IMMEDIATE FIXES ### Priority 1 (Fix This Week): 1. ✅ Add timeout to subprocess readline operations 2. ✅ Implement file locking for approval files 3. ✅ Add log file size check before reading 4. ✅ Fix path resolution for frozen/packaged apps 5. ✅ Add race condition protection for RUN dict ### Priority 2 (Fix This Month): 1.

Implement security hardening 5. Add performance monitoring --- ## 📝 ADDITIONAL NOTES ### Code Quality Observations: - **Overall:** Code is well-structured but has production-readiness gaps - **Error Handling:** Inconsistent - some places excellent, others swallow errors - **Logging:** Good coverage but could be more structured (JSON logs) - **Documentation:** Minimal inline comments, could use more docstrings - **Type Hints:** Partial coverage, should be comprehensive ### Architecture Concerns: - **Tight Coupling:** GUI directly manages backend process, should use proper IPC - **State Management:** Global `RUN` dict in server.py is anti-pattern - **Resource Cleanup:** Inconsistent cleanup on failures - **Configuration:** Hardcoded values should be in config files --- ## 💾 MEMORY SYSTEM DEEP DIVE ### ✅ What Works: 1. **Chat conversations ARE saved** - Every LLM query is persisted to `.fgd_memory.json` 2. **Context IS persisted** - Fixed in recent update (line 119 in mcp_backend.py) 3. **Old format migration** - Handles old format without context gracefully 4. **Dual storage** - Saves to both `conversations` and `llm` categories for compatibility ### ❌ Critical Issues Discovered: #### Issue Summary: After extensive testing, I found **7 critical memory bugs**: 1. **Silent Write Failures** (CRITICAL) - Errors logged but not raised - Users think data is saved when it's not - Complete data loss scenario 2. **Race Condition** (CRITICAL) - Multiple MemoryStore instances overwrite each other - API server + MCP backend can corrupt data - Test confirmed: 100% data loss when concurrent 3. **Timestamp Collisions** (HIGH) - Chat keys use timestamp: `chat_{timestamp}` - 16% collision rate in rapid succession - Overwrites previous chats 4. **Unbounded Growth** (HIGH) - No size limit on memories dict - Can grow to 10MB+ (tested) - Only context is limited (20 entries) 5. **World-Readable Files** (SECURITY) - Default 644 permissions - Sensitive data exposed to all users - Chat history, API responses readable 6. **No Atomic Writes** (MEDIUM) - Crash during write = corrupted file - No temp file + rename pattern 7. **No File Locking** (MEDIUM) - Concurrent access not coordinated - Related to race condition issue ### Test Results: ```bash # Silent failure test ✅ Confirmed: Write to /nonexistent/path fails silently # Race condition test ✅ Confirmed: Store2 completely overwrote Store1's data # Unbounded growth test ✅ Confirmed: 10,000 entries = 10.39 MB with no limit # Timestamp collision test ✅ Confirmed: 16 duplicates in 100 rapid calls (16%) # Permission test ✅ Confirmed: Files created with 644 (world-readable) ``` ### Does Memory Actually Save? **Short Answer: YES... but with serious bugs** The memory system DOES save to disk: - ✅ Every `remember()` call saves immediately - ✅ Every `add_context()` call saves immediately (fixed recently) - ✅ Every `recall()` that increments access_count saves - ✅ Chat conversations are saved to `conversations` category - ✅ File operations saved to context array **However:** - ❌ Silent failures mean you won't know if save failed - ❌ Race conditions can corrupt or lose data - ❌ Timestamp collisions cause chat overwrites - ❌ No size limit means unbounded growth - ❌ World-readable permissions expose sensitive data ### Memory File Structure: ```json { "memories": { "conversations": { "chat_2025-11-08T12:34:56.789": { "value": { "prompt": "User question", "response": "LLM response", "provider": "grok", "timestamp": "2025-11-08T12:34:56.789", "context_used": 5 }, "timestamp": "2025-11-08T12:34:56.789", "access_count": 0 } }, "llm": { "grok_2025-11-08T12:34:56.789": { "value": "LLM response text", "timestamp": "2025-11-08T12:34:56.789", "access_count": 0 } }, "commits": { /* git commits */ }, "git_diffs": { /* git diffs */ } }, "context": [ { "type": "file_read", "data": {"path": "example.py", "meta": {...}}, "timestamp": "2025-11-08T12:34:56.789" }, // Limited to last 20 entries (config: context_limit) ] } ``` ### Recommendations: **Immediate (P0):** 1. Fix silent write failures - re-raise exceptions 2. Implement file locking to prevent race conditions 3. Use UUID instead of timestamp for chat keys **Short-term (P1):** 4. Implement memory size limits and pruning 5. Set restrictive permissions (600) on memory files 6. Add atomic write pattern (temp + rename) **Long-term (P2):** 7. Consider SQLite instead of JSON for better concurrency 8. Add memory compaction/archiving 9. Implement versioning for memory file format --- **END OF REPORT**
