# ๐Ÿšจ Issue: SocketBox State Separation Problem - Method Call Clone State Loss **Priority**: ๐Ÿ”ฅ **HIGH** - Critical for HTTP Server functionality **Impact**: Phase 9 HTTP server implementation blocked by state management failure **Status**: Ready for immediate investigation ## ๐Ÿ“‹ **Problem Summary** SocketBox state changes are lost between method calls due to improper clone state synchronization. Each method call creates a new clone instance, causing state mutations to be isolated and not reflected back to the original variable. **Core Issue**: `bind()` successfully sets `isServer = true` on Socket ID=36, but subsequent `isServer()` call creates Socket ID=51 clone and reads `false`. ## ๐ŸŽฏ **Root Cause Analysis Completed** ### โœ… **Confirmed Working Components** - SocketBox creation: `new SocketBox()` โœ… - Method execution: All methods (bind, toString, isServer, close) execute without deadlock โœ… - Arc reference sharing: Proper Arc sharing within single method โœ… ### โŒ **Identified Core Problem** ```bash # Evidence from execution logs: toString(): Socket ID = 17, Arc ptr = 0x560a2455e300 isServer(): Socket ID = 26, Arc ptr = 0x560a2455e600 # Different Arc! bind(): Socket ID = 36, Arc ptr = 0x560a2455e600 # State change applied here isServer(): Socket ID = 51, Arc ptr = 0x560a2455e600 # New clone, state lost ``` **Problem Pattern**: Method call resolution creates new clones without proper state back-propagation to original variable. ## ๐Ÿงช **Complete Reproduction Test Cases** ### **Test 1: State Persistence Failure** ```bash # Command ./target/release/nyash test_socket_state_preservation.hako # Current Result (BROKEN): [Console LOG] Before bind: isServer = false [Console LOG] Bind result = true [Console LOG] After bind: isServer = false # โŒ Should be true Result: FAIL: State preservation broken # Expected Result (FIXED): [Console LOG] After bind: isServer = true # โœ… State preserved Result: PASS: State preservation works ``` ### **Test 2: Clone ID Analysis** ```bash # Command ./target/release/nyash test_socketbox_fix_validation.hako # Current Evidence: ๐Ÿ”ฅ SOCKETBOX DEBUG: bind() called - Socket ID = 36 ๐Ÿ”ฅ AFTER MUTATION: is_server value = true # โœ… State set correctly ๐Ÿ”ฅ SOCKETBOX DEBUG: isServer() called - Socket ID = 51 # โŒ Different ID! ๐Ÿ”ฅ IS_SERVER READ: is_server value = false # โŒ Reading wrong instance ``` ### **Test 3: Other Boxes Comparison** ```bash # Command ./target/release/nyash test_other_boxes_working.hako # Result: All other Box types work correctly [Console LOG] โœ… ArrayBoxๆญฃๅธธ: size=1 [Console LOG] โœ… MapBoxๆญฃๅธธ: value=test_value [Console LOG] ๐ŸŽ‰ ไป–ใฎBoxๅ…จใฆๆญฃๅธธๅ‹•ไฝœ: 4ไปถๆˆๅŠŸ ``` ## ๐Ÿ” **Technical Analysis Required** ### **Primary Hypothesis** The issue lies in the **clone state synchronization mechanism** during method resolution: ```rust // Problem area (suspected): // Method resolution creates new clones but doesn't sync state back if let Some(socket_box) = obj_value.as_any().downcast_ref::() { let result = self.execute_socket_method(socket_box, method, arguments)?; // State changes in socket_box clone not propagated back to original } ``` ### **Investigation Focus Areas** 1. **Clone Back-propagation**: How method results update original variables 2. **Arc Reference Management**: State container sharing vs instance isolation 3. **SocketBox vs Other Boxes**: Why other Box types maintain state correctly 4. **Method Resolution Pipeline**: Clone creation and state synchronization timing ### **Architecture Comparison** ```rust // Working Boxes (maintain state): ArrayBox.push() โ†’ state change โ†’ โœ… reflects in original variable MapBox.set() โ†’ state change โ†’ โœ… reflects in original variable // Broken Box (loses state): SocketBox.bind() โ†’ state change โ†’ โŒ lost in clone, not in original ``` ## ๐Ÿ“Š **Required Investigation Approach** ### **NO Band-aid Fixes Allowed** - **NO** symptom-only patches - **NO** guesswork solutions without root cause analysis - **NO** incomplete testing - all test cases must pass ### **Systematic Analysis Required** 1. **Method Resolution Analysis**: How clones are created and managed during method calls 2. **State Sync Architecture**: Mechanism for propagating clone changes back to variables 3. **Comparative Study**: Why ArrayBox/MapBox work but SocketBox doesn't 4. **Arc Pattern**: Proper state container sharing implementation ## โœ… **Success Criteria - All Must Pass** ### **Must Achieve** ```bash # Basic state preservation local socket = new SocketBox() local result = socket.bind("127.0.0.1", 8080) local isServer = socket.isServer() # isServer.equals(true) == true โœ… # Field-based state preservation me.server = new SocketBox() me.server.bind("127.0.0.1", 8080) local status = me.server.isServer() # status.equals(true) == true โœ… # Multiple method calls maintain state socket.bind("127.0.0.1", 8080) # Set state socket.toString() # Access state socket.isServer() # Must still return true โœ… ``` ### **Validation Required** ```bash # All existing tests must pass ./target/release/nyash test_socket_state_preservation.hako # Expected: PASS: State preservation works ./target/release/nyash test_socketbox_fix_validation.hako # Expected: isServer() after bind returns true ./target/release/nyash test_other_boxes_working.hako # Expected: Continue working (regression check) ``` ## ๐Ÿงช **Test Files Provided** All reproduction test files are ready for execution: - `test_socket_state_preservation.hako` - Primary reproduction case - `test_socketbox_fix_validation.hako` - Comprehensive method testing - `test_other_boxes_working.hako` - Regression verification ## ๐ŸŽฏ **Implementation Requirements** ### **Architecture Consistency** - Solution must align with "Everything is Box" philosophy โœ… - Maintain Rust safety guarantees โœ… - Preserve existing performance characteristics โœ… - No breaking changes to other Box types โœ… ### **Quality Standards** - **Root cause fix**: Address clone state synchronization mechanism - **Complete validation**: All test scenarios must work - **Performance impact**: No degradation to method call performance - **Memory safety**: Maintain Arc safety model ## ๐Ÿ“ **Reporting Requirements** ### **Complete Issue Communication** - **Report ALL findings**: Every discovered issue, even minor ones, must be reported - **NO silent fixes**: Do not fix issues without explicitly documenting them - **Progressive updates**: Provide regular progress updates during investigation - **Detailed analysis**: Include technical reasoning for all changes made ### **Forbidden Behaviors** - โŒ **Silent bug fixes**: Fixing issues without reporting them - โŒ **Assumption-based changes**: Making changes without explaining reasoning - โŒ **Incomplete reporting**: Only mentioning major issues while hiding minor ones - โŒ **Black box development**: Working without progress communication --- **๐Ÿšจ This issue blocks Phase 9 HTTP server implementation. SocketBox state management is critical for server functionality (bind โ†’ listen โ†’ accept flow). Immediate resolution required.** **๐Ÿ“‹ Critical: Report every bug found, no matter how small. Communication and transparency are essential for this complex state management fix.**
