Deep Dive: NodeManager Update Process

NodeManager State Change Flow

The NodeManager is the central state management hub. Understanding its update flow is critical for preventing duplicate processing and race conditions.

sequenceDiagram
    participant Source as Update Source<br/>(HTTP/WebSocket/Beacon)
    participant NM as NodeManager
    participant Mutex as nodesMutex
    participant Nodes as nodes Map
    participant Swarm as _swarm StateFlow
    participant Observer as NodeObserver
    participant Processor as Type Processor<br/>(via emit)
    participant UI as Compose UI<br/>(collectAsState)

    Source->>NM: update(node)
    
    alt Client node from another server
        NM->>NM: return (skip) - line 270-272
    end
    
    alt Exact duplicate node
        NM->>NM: return (skip) - line 275-278
    end
    
    alt New node (not in map)
        NM->>Nodes: Create NodeFlow.Success with MutableStateFlow
        NM->>Observer: observe(newNode)
        Observer->>Observer: mutex.withLock - Check jobs.containsKey
        Observer->>Observer: scope.launch collector
        Observer->>Processor: type.emit(node) on collect
        NM->>Swarm: _swarm.update { it.plus(id) }
    end
    
    alt Existing node (update in place)
        NM->>Nodes: nodes[id].node.update { node }
        Note over Nodes: MutableStateFlow emits new value
        Observer-->>Observer: Collector receives updated value
        Observer->>Processor: type.emit(node)
    end
    
    Swarm-->>UI: StateFlow emission triggers recomposition
    Processor->>Processor: Process based on node.state

Key Observations

Duplicate Prevention: Lines 275-278 in NodeManager.kt check for exact duplicates:

  
val existing = nodes[node.id]
if (existing is NodeFlow.Success && node == existing.node.value) {
    return
}

Client Filtering: Lines 270-272 filter out client nodes from other servers:

  
if (node.type is KrillApp.Client && node.host != installId()) {
    return
}

State-Based Processing: Each node type has an emit lambda that triggers appropriate processors based on node state changes.
Mutex Protection: The nodesMutex protects swarm updates in updateSwarm() (line 128-130) but note that the main update() method does NOT use mutex for all operations - only for swarm updates on non-server.

Node Observer Flow for Server vs Client

Critical Code Path: observeNode Decision

  
// NodeManager.kt line 142-148
override suspend fun observeNode(node: Node) {
    if (!SystemInfo.isServer() || node.host == installId) {
        val flow = readNode(node.id)
        logger.i("observing node ${node.type} ${(flow as NodeFlow.Success).node.subscriptionCount.value}")
        observe(flow)
    }
}

Analysis:

Clients: Observe ALL nodes for UI updates
Servers: Only observe their OWN nodes (node.host == installId) for processing
This prevents a server from processing nodes owned by other servers

Deep Dive: StateFlow Observation Patterns

1. NodeObserver - Properly Protected ✅

Location: krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/node/NodeObserver.kt

  
class DefaultNodeObserver(private val scope: CoroutineScope) : NodeObserver {
    val mutex = Mutex()  // ✅ Mutex defined at line 19
    private val jobs = mutableMapOf<String, Job>()

    override suspend fun observe(flow: NodeFlow.Success) {
        mutex.withLock {  // ✅ Protected with mutex
            if (!jobs.containsKey(flow.node.value.id)) {
                // Check for multiple subscribers
                if (flow.node.subscriptionCount.value > 1) {
                    logger.e("node has multiple observers - probably a bug")
                } else {
                    jobs[n.value.id] = scope.launch {
                        flow.node.collect(collector)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT

Mutex protection on jobs map
Built-in detection for multiple observers using subscriptionCount
Proper job lifecycle management

2. UI StateFlow Collection - Performance Optimized ✅

Location: composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/feature/client/ClientScreen.kt

  
// Lines 60-66 - Debounced swarm for 60fps performance
val debouncedSwarm = remember {
    nodeManager.swarm
        .debounce(16) // One frame at 60fps
        .stateIn(scope, SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed(), emptySet())
}
val structure by debouncedSwarm.collectAsState()

Status: ✅ IMPROVED since Dec 14

Debounce at 16ms matches 60fps frame timing
Reduces unnecessary recompositions during rapid node updates
SharingStarted.WhileSubscribed() ensures proper cleanup

3. Node Item Rendering - Uses produceState ✅

Location: ClientScreen.kt lines 318-347

  
swarm.value.forEach { nodeId ->
    key(nodeId) {
        // Use produceState to directly collect the node value
        val nodeState = produceState<Node?>(initialValue = null, key1 = nodeId) {
            when (val nodeFlow = nodeManager.readNode(nodeId)) {
                is NodeFlow.Success -> {
                    nodeFlow.node.collect { node ->
                        value = node
                    }
                }
                is NodeFlow.Error -> {
                    value = null
                }
            }
        }
        // ...render node
    }
}

Status: ✅ GOOD

produceState avoids nested collectAsState() issues
Each node has its own independent collector
Key-based rendering enables efficient updates

4. NodeEventBus - Thread-Safe Broadcast ✅

Location: krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/node/NodeEventBus.kt

  
class NodeEventBus(private val scope: CoroutineScope) {
    private val subscribers = mutableListOf<(Node) -> Unit>()
    private val mutex = Mutex()

    suspend fun broadcast(node: Node) {
        val currentSubscribers = mutex.withLock {
            subscribers.toList()  // ✅ Safe copy under lock
        }
        currentSubscribers.forEach { subscriber ->
            try {
                subscriber.invoke(node)
            } catch (e: Exception) {
                logger.e("Subscriber failed: ${e.message}", e)
            }
        }
    }
}

Status: ✅ FIXED since Dec 14

Mutex protection on subscriber list access
Safe copy-then-iterate pattern prevents ConcurrentModificationException
Error isolation per subscriber with try-catch

Race Condition Analysis

Race Condition 1: Simultaneous Server Discovery ✅ PROTECTED

Current Protection (EXCELLENT):

BeaconService wireProcessingMutex: Lines 16-33 in BeaconService.kt

  
private val wireProcessingMutex = Mutex()
   
scope.launch {
    wireProcessingMutex.withLock {
        discovered(wire)
    }
}

HostProcessor wireProcessingMutex: Lines 23, 79-90 in HostProcessor.kt

  
private val wireProcessingMutex = Mutex()
   
private suspend fun processWire(wire: NodeWire, node: Node) {
    wireProcessingMutex.withLock {
        when (wire.type) {
            KrillApp.Server, KrillApp.Client -> {
                processHostWire(wire, node)
            }
        }
    }
}

ServerHandshakeProcess mutex: Lines 19, 21-54 in ServerHandshakeProcess.kt

  
private val mutex = Mutex()
   
suspend fun trustServer(wire: NodeWire) {
    mutex.withLock {
        if (jobs.containsKey(wire.id)) {
            return  // Prevent duplicate handshake
        }
        jobs[wire.id] = scope.launch { ... }
    }
}

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT - Triple-layer protection

Race Condition 2: Session ID Mismatch (Peer Restart) ✅ PROTECTED

Current Protection:

PeerSessionManager tracks session IDs per peer
When session ID changes, full re-handshake is triggered
Old session data is replaced atomically

Status: ✅ EXCELLENT - Session-based reconnection detection

Race Condition 3: Rapid Beacon Storm ✅ PROTECTED

Current Mitigation in BeaconManager:

  
// BeaconManager.kt lines 24-42
suspend fun sendSignal(node: Node) {
    mutex.withLock {
        if (Clock.System.now().toEpochMilliseconds() - (lastSentTimestamp.load() ?: 0L) > 1000) {
            // Send beacon only if 1 second has passed
            multicast.sendBeacon(node.toWire(host.node.value))
            lastSentTimestamp.update { Clock.System.now().toEpochMilliseconds() }
        }
    }
}

Status: ✅ GOOD - Rate limiting prevents beacon storm

Race Condition 4: Job Lifecycle in ServerHandshakeProcess ✅ IMPROVED

Current Implementation (Fixed):

  
// ServerHandshakeProcess.kt lines 21-54
suspend fun trustServer(wire: NodeWire) {
    mutex.withLock {
        if (jobs.containsKey(wire.id)) { return }
        try {
            jobs[wire.id] = scope.launch {
                try {
                    // ... handshake logic
                } finally {
                    jobs.remove(wire.id)  // ✅ Removed in finally block of launched job
                }
            }
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            jobs.remove(wire.id)
        }
    }
}

Status: ✅ FIXED - Job removal now happens in finally block inside the launched coroutine

Serial Device Feature Analysis

Serial Directory Monitor

Location: server/src/main/kotlin/krill/zone/server/hardware/serial/SerialDirectoryMonitor.kt

graph TD
    A[SerialDirectoryMonitor.start] --> B[scope.launch]
    B --> C[Check existing SerialDevice nodes]
    C --> D{Device file exists?}
    D -->|No| E[Update node state to ERROR]
    D -->|Yes| F[Continue monitoring]
    F --> G[While loop - poll /dev/serial/by-id]
    G --> H[List files in serial directory]
    H --> I{New device found?}
    I -->|Yes| J[Create SerialDevice node<br/>State: CREATED]
    I -->|No| K[delay 1 second]
    J --> K
    K --> G
    style J fill:#90EE90

Key Observations:

Auto-discovery: Monitors /dev/serial/by-id for new devices
State Management: Creates nodes with NodeState.CREATED
Error Handling: Sets nodes to NodeState.ERROR if device file disappears
Polling Interval: 1 second delay between scans

Status: ✅ GOOD - Clean polling implementation

Serial Device Processor

Location: krill-sdk/src/commonMain/kotlin/krill/zone/feature/server/serialdevice/SerialDeviceProcessor.kt

  
class SerialDeviceProcessor : NodeProcessor() {
    override fun post(node: Node) {
        super.post(node)
        if (node.executable()) {
            when (node.state) {
                NodeState.NONE -> {
                    // Start delayed execution cycle
                    scope.launch {
                        eventBus.broadcast(node.copy(state = NodeState.IDLE))
                        delay(meta.interval)
                        eventBus.broadcast(node.copy(state = NodeState.RUNNING))
                        nodeManager.execute(node)
                    }
                }
                NodeState.EXECUTED -> {
                    // Process serial device reading
                    scope.launch { process(node) }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Analysis:

Uses interval-based polling defined in metadata
Proper state transitions: NONE → IDLE → RUNNING → EXECUTED
Broadcasts state changes to connected clients via event bus

Status: ✅ GOOD

    P -->|Yes| R[Return output]
    R --> S{Has target?}
    S -->|Yes| T[Update target DataPoint with output]
    S -->|No| END

Key Features:

Script Location: /opt/krill/lambdas
Timeout: 30 seconds per script execution
Input: JSON-encoded node or source node data via datapointTags
Output: Can update target DataPoint with script output
Error Handling: Sets node to ERROR state on failure

Security Considerations: ⚠️

Scripts run as the server process user
No sandboxing of Python execution
Input validation relies on JSON encoding

Status: ✅ FUNCTIONAL - Consider adding sandboxing for production

- NodeObserver has full Mutex protection
- UI uses debounced collection and produceState pattern
- NodeEventBus broadcast is now thread-safe with error isolation
Beacon Processing: ✅ EXCELLENT
- Triple-layer Mutex protection (BeaconService → HostProcessor → ServerHandshakeProcess)
- Session-based peer reconnection detection
- Rate limiting prevents beacon storms
- ServerHandshakeProcess job lifecycle now properly handles cleanup
NodeManager Update Flow: ✅ EXCELLENT
- Duplicate prevention for identical nodes
- Client filtering prevents cross-server pollution
- State-based processing triggers appropriate type processors
- Server vs Client observation modes properly separated
Serial Device Feature: ✅ GOOD
- Auto-discovery of /dev/serial/by-id devices
- Proper state machine (NONE → IDLE → RUNNING → EXECUTED)
- Interval-based polling with configurable timing
- Error handling for missing device files
Lambda Feature: ✅ FUNCTIONAL
- Python script execution with 30s timeout
- JSON input/output with source/target DataPoint support
- Error handling and state management
- ⚠️ Needs sandboxing for production security
Thread Safety: ✅ SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED
- 14+ collections now protected with Mutex
