Joshua Valderrama 35b4dd2824 fix: session context drifting — messages leaking between chats (#135) (#267)
* docs: add implementation plan for fixing chat context drifting (#135)

* fix: make Session.history immutable + fix {}.history crash

- Session.history now exposes a COPY of the internal _history list
- add_message() replaces history with a fresh copy each time
- get_context_messages() derives from _history directly
- replace_messages() updates both _history and history
- truncate_messages() updates both _history and history
- _persist_message() line 207: fixed {}.history fallback crash
- Added 11 tests for session isolation and edge cases

Addresses #135 root cause #1: shared mutable references

* fix: task scheduler uses SessionManager methods instead of overwriting sessions

- Added ensure_task_session() to SessionManager (checks cache first)
- Task scheduler now uses ensure_task_session() instead of direct dict assignment
- Task scheduler now uses SessionManager.add_message() for message persistence
- Removed direct sess_obj.history.append() that was silently losing data

Addresses #135 root causes #2 and #3

* fix: add age guard to cleanup_empty_sessions — don't delete sessions <1h old

Prevents the cleanup task from deleting sessions that were just created
and haven't received any messages yet (message_count == 0).

Addresses #135 root cause #5

* test: comprehensive session isolation tests (10/10 passing)

* refactor: consolidate _session_manager into singleton pattern

- Added set_session_manager_instance / get_session_manager_instance to core/models
- kept backward-compat aliases (set_session_manager, get_session_manager)
- session_manager.py re-exports the singleton functions
- ai_interaction.set_session_manager now syncs with the core singleton
- context_compactor uses get_session_manager_instance() instead of getattr hack
- app.py initializes the singleton once

Addresses #135 root cause #4: fragile global wiring

* test: add concurrent session isolation integration tests

Verifies:
- Concurrent add_message to different sessions doesn't cross-contaminate
- Rapid parallel writes maintain isolation
- Read-write concurrent access is safe

All 3 async tests pass, proving the immutable history fix works under concurrency

* fix: pre-import core.models in conftest to prevent test pollution

test_agent_loop.py stubs sys.modules['core.models'] = MagicMock() at
module level during collection. Any test collected after it imports
Session as a MagicMock. Pre-importing core.models in conftest.py
before test_agent_loop.py's module-level code runs prevents this.

* fix: make .history authoritative mutable list, address PR review

Per review feedback: keep .history as the authoritative mutable list so
existing code doing .history.pop(), .history = [...], etc. still works.
Fix the cross-contamination bug by ensuring __post_init__() gives each
Session its OWN unique history list (never shared).

Changes:
- core/models.py: .history IS the authoritative list. _history aliases it.
  Each Session gets its own list in __post_init__.
- core/session_manager.py: add_message() delegates to Session.add_message()
  instead of appending directly — no double-append, single source of truth.
- tests/test_session_manager.py: updated test to reflect that .history
  references see new messages (same list, not a snapshot).
- docs/plans/2026-06-01-fix-chat-context-drifting.md: removed (not for
  shipping — useful design context but too much process/doc to ship).

All 272 tests pass (3 pre-existing failures unrelated).

* Fix session manager message persistence

* Fix session history alias regressions

* Fix session history aliasing and task delivery
