Summary

For real-world agent scenarios with high concurrency requirements, use dedicated locks for BackgroundManager data members:

  • _tasks_lock: protects self.tasks dictionary
  • _queue_lock: protects _notification_queue

This fine-grained lock design provides:

  • Avoids blocking notification queue operations when querying task status
  • Supports high-frequency notification writes when multiple background tasks complete simultaneously
  • Reduces lock contention and improves overall throughput

Additional benefits:

  • Establishes a consistent pattern of acquiring lock before write operations on data members
  • Safer notification handling: append/clear operations on the notification queue are properly synchronized

Test plan

  • Run python agents/s08_background_tasks.py to manually test background task functionality
  • Verify correctness of task status reads and notification queue operations in multi-threaded scenarios
Use dedicated locks for BackgroundManager data members:
- _tasks_lock: protects self.tasks dictionary
- _queue_lock: protects _notification_queue

Benefits:
- Clearer code: consistent pattern of acquiring lock before write operations
- Better concurrency: reading tasks and draining notifications no longer block each other
- Safer notification handling: notification append/clear operations are properly synchronized
