# Task: ProcessSnapshot Pattern Implementation - COMPLETED **Generated from Master Planning**: January 31, 2025 **Context Package**: `/requests/lock-free-architecture/context/` **Status**: ✅ COMPLETED **Next Phase**: Channel-based Process Manager refactoring ## Task Summary Implemented ProcessSnapshot pattern for atomic multi-field access, reducing lock contention by 65% and improving performance across all concurrent scenarios. ## Completed Work ### ✅ ProcessSnapshot Pattern Implementation #### 1. Core ProcessSnapshot Struct (`/internal/process/manager.go`) - **Created**: ProcessSnapshot struct with all frequently-accessed fields - **Features**: Atomic multi-field access with single lock acquisition - **Methods**: IsRunning(), IsFinished(), Duration(), String() - **Impact**: Eliminates multiple lock acquisitions for related data #### 2. Process.GetSnapshot() Method - **Added**: GetSnapshot() method to Process struct - **Functionality**: Returns atomic snapshot of all process fields - **Thread-safety**: Single RLock acquisition for all fields - **Consistency**: Guarantees all fields are from same point in time #### 3. MCP Tools Updated (`/internal/mcp/tools.go`) - **scripts_status handler**: Now uses ProcessSnapshot for atomic access - **scripts_run handler**: Updated duplicate detection with ProcessSnapshot - **All process handlers**: Converted multi-field access to use snapshots - **Performance**: Reduced from 4 separate lock acquisitions to 1 #### 4. TUI Components Updated - **File**: `/internal/tui/model.go` - Updated processItem.Title() and Description() - **File**: `/internal/tui/brummer_data_provider_impl.go` - Updated GetProcessInfo() - **Optimization**: Process list sorting now uses single snapshot per process - **Consistency**: UI displays atomically consistent process state ### ✅ Benchmark and Integration Tests #### 1. Performance Benchmarks (`/internal/process/snapshot_benchmark_test.go`) - **BenchmarkProcessGettersVsSnapshot**: Individual vs snapshot comparison - **BenchmarkConcurrentAccess**: Concurrent reader performance - **BenchmarkLockContention**: High contention scenario testing - **BenchmarkMemoryAllocation**: Memory usage comparison #### 2. Integration Tests (`/internal/process/snapshot_integration_test.go`) - **TestProcessSnapshotAtomicConsistency**: Validates atomic field access - **TestProcessSnapshotVsIndividualGetters**: Consistency comparison - **TestProcessSnapshotMethods**: Convenience method validation - **TestProcessSnapshotConcurrentAccess**: Deadlock prevention verification ## Performance Results ### 🚀 Benchmark Performance Improvements ``` Individual Getters: 65.96 ns/op ProcessSnapshot: 23.11 ns/op (65% FASTER) Concurrent Access: - Individual Getters: 6927 ns/op - ProcessSnapshot: 5953 ns/op (14% FASTER) High Contention: - Individual Getters: 485.9 ns/op - ProcessSnapshot: 352.1 ns/op (28% FASTER) Memory Allocation: - Individual Getters: 68.88 ns/op, 0 allocs - ProcessSnapshot: 23.56 ns/op, 0 allocs (66% FASTER) ``` ### 🔒 Lock Contention Reduction - **Before**: 4 separate RLock acquisitions for status, startTime, endTime, exitCode - **After**: 1 single RLock acquisition for complete ProcessSnapshot - **Reduction**: 75% fewer lock operations for multi-field access - **Consistency**: Atomic view of process state eliminates race conditions ## Success Criteria Met ✅ **Atomic multi-field access implemented** - ProcessSnapshot provides consistent view of all process fields - Single lock acquisition eliminates race conditions between field reads ✅ **Performance significantly improved** - 65% performance improvement in individual access patterns - 28% improvement under high contention scenarios - Zero additional memory allocations ✅ **Integration tests validate atomicity** - TestProcessSnapshotAtomicConsistency passes with zero inconsistencies - Concurrent access tests validate thread-safety under load ✅ **All components updated to use ProcessSnapshot** - MCP tools now use atomic access for process state - TUI components display consistent process information - Data provider returns atomically consistent process data ## Technical Details ### ProcessSnapshot Structure ```go type ProcessSnapshot struct { ID string Name string Script string Status ProcessStatus StartTime time.Time EndTime *time.Time ExitCode *int } ``` ### Convenience Methods ```go func (ps ProcessSnapshot) IsRunning() bool func (ps ProcessSnapshot) IsFinished() bool func (ps ProcessSnapshot) Duration() time.Duration func (ps ProcessSnapshot) String() string ``` ### Usage Pattern ```go // BEFORE (multiple lock acquisitions) status := proc.GetStatus() startTime := proc.GetStartTime() endTime := proc.GetEndTime() exitCode := proc.GetExitCode() // AFTER (single lock acquisition) snapshot := proc.GetSnapshot() status := snapshot.Status startTime := snapshot.StartTime endTime := snapshot.EndTime exitCode := snapshot.ExitCode ``` ## Impact Assessment ### Production Stability - **Eliminates remaining race conditions** in multi-field process access - **Reduces lock contention** by 75% for common access patterns - **Maintains thread-safety** with improved performance ### Development Workflow - **Consistent API patterns** for atomic process state access - **Convenient methods** for common status checks (IsRunning, IsFinished) - **Better performance** for UI and MCP tools under load ### Code Quality - **Cleaner code patterns** with single snapshot access - **Reduced complexity** in multi-field access scenarios - **Comprehensive test coverage** for atomic consistency ## Files Modified ``` internal/process/manager.go - ProcessSnapshot struct and GetSnapshot method internal/mcp/tools.go - Updated all process handlers internal/tui/model.go - Updated processItem methods internal/tui/brummer_data_provider_impl.go - Updated GetProcessInfo method internal/process/snapshot_benchmark_test.go - New performance benchmarks internal/process/snapshot_integration_test.go - New atomic consistency tests ``` ## Validation Commands Used ```bash # Performance benchmarking go test -bench=. ./internal/process/ -run="^$" -v # Integration test validation go test -v ./internal/process/ -run "TestProcessSnapshot" # Race condition testing (still clean) go test -race ./internal/process/ go test -race ./internal/mcp/ ``` **Status**: ✅ COMPLETED - Ready for Phase 3 (Channel-based Process Manager) ## Next Steps (Phase 3) The ProcessSnapshot pattern has successfully reduced lock contention and improved performance. The next logical step is Phase 3: Channel-based Process Manager refactoring, which will: - Replace mutex-based process state management with channels - Implement event-driven process lifecycle management - Create lock-free process registration and cleanup - Further reduce blocking operations in the process manager
