🚨 SocketBox Method Call Deadlock - Critical System Failure

Status: 🔥 CRITICAL - Complete SocketBox functionality failure
Impact: Phase 9 HTTP server implementation completely blocked
Priority: Immediate investigation required

📋 Problem Summary

All SocketBox methods (bind(), listen(), isServer(), toString()) cause infinite blocking/deadlock. Other Box types (StringBox, ArrayBox, MapBox) work normally.

🎯 Root Cause Analysis Completed

✅ Confirmed Working Components

• SocketBox creation: new SocketBox() ✅
• Arc reference sharing: Arc addresses match = true ✅
• Clone functionality: Proper Arc sharing ✅

❌ Identified Problem Location

// src/interpreter/expressions.rs:462-464
if let Some(socket_box) = obj_value.as_any().downcast_ref::<SocketBox>() {
    let result = self.execute_socket_method(socket_box, method, arguments)?;
    // ↑ Never reaches this line - execute_socket_method is never called
}

Core Issue: Deadlock occurs in method resolution pipeline BEFORE execute_socket_method is reached.

📊 Evidence from Execution Logs

🔥 Deadlock Reproduction Log

[Console LOG] SocketBox作成完了
[Console LOG] bind実行開始...
🔥 SOCKETBOX CLONE DEBUG: Arc addresses match = true  # ← Clone works fine
# Infinite block here - 🔥 SOCKET_METHOD: bind() called never appears

✅ Normal Box Comparison (ArrayBox)

[Console LOG] ArrayBox作成完了  
[Console LOG] push実行開始...
✅ ARRAY_METHOD: push() called    # ← Method reached normally
✅ ArrayBox push completed        # ← Completes successfully

🧪 Reproduction Test Cases

Test 1: Minimal Deadlock Reproduction

# Command
timeout 10s ./target/release/nyash test_socket_deadlock_minimal.nyash

# Expected: Timeout (deadlock)
# Actual Output:
# [Console LOG] SocketBox作成成功
# [Console LOG] bind()実行開始...
# (infinite block)

Test 2: Other Boxes Normal Operation

# Command
./target/release/nyash test_other_boxes_working.nyash

# Expected: Normal completion
# Actual Output:
# [Console LOG] ✅ ArrayBox正常: size=1
# [Console LOG] ✅ MapBox正常: value=test_value
# [Console LOG] 🎉 他のBox全て正常動作: 4件成功

Test 3: All SocketBox Methods

# Command  
timeout 30s ./target/release/nyash test_socket_methods_comprehensive.nyash

# Expected: Deadlock on first method call
# All methods (toString, isServer, bind, close) should deadlock

🔍 Technical Investigation Required

Primary Hypothesis

SocketBox's unique multiple Arc combination causing circular deadlock:

// SocketBox structure (PROBLEMATIC)
pub struct SocketBox {
    listener: Arc<Mutex<Option<TcpListener>>>,     // Mutex 1
    stream: Arc<Mutex<Option<TcpStream>>>,         // Mutex 2  
    is_server: Arc<Mutex<bool>>,                   // Mutex 3
    is_connected: Arc<Mutex<bool>>,                // Mutex 4
}

// vs Other Boxes (WORKING)
StringBox: Arc<String> only                       // No Mutex
ArrayBox: Arc<Mutex<Vec<T>>> only                 // Single Mutex  
MapBox: Arc<Mutex<HashMap<K,V>>> only             // Single Mutex

Investigation Areas

1. Lock ordering: Multiple mutex acquisition sequence
2. Recursive locking: Same mutex re-entry during method resolution
3. Cross-reference deadlock: Arc reference cycles
4. Interpreter pipeline: Method resolution vs execution stage bottleneck

🎯 Required Analysis

Systematic Approach Required

• NO band-aid fixes - Root cause identification essential
• NO guesswork solutions - Evidence-based analysis only
• Complete validation - All test cases must pass

Investigation Phases

1. Architecture Level: Compare SocketBox vs other Box memory/locking patterns
2. Runtime Level: Method resolution pipeline analysis
3. Concurrency Level: Arc deadlock detection
4. Parser/AST Level: If needed, verify AST generation differences

🧪 Test Files Provided

All test files are ready for immediate execution:

• test_socket_deadlock_minimal.nyash - Minimal reproduction
• test_socket_methods_comprehensive.nyash - All methods test
• test_other_boxes_working.nyash - Normal Box operation verification
• SOCKETBOX_ISSUE_REPRODUCTION.md - Complete reproduction guide

✅ Success Criteria

Must Achieve

# Basic functionality  
./target/release/nyash test_socket_deadlock_minimal.nyash
# Expected: Normal completion, no deadlock

# State management
socket.bind("127.0.0.1", 8080)
socket.isServer()  # Must return true

# All methods working
./target/release/nyash test_socket_methods_comprehensive.nyash  
# Expected: All methods complete successfully

Validation Required

• Before/After comparison: Detailed behavior analysis
• Performance impact: Ensure fix doesn't degrade other functionality
• Memory safety: Maintain Rust safety guarantees
• Architecture consistency: Solution aligns with "Everything is Box" philosophy
