# Handoff Report: Hideout Instance Session Cleanup & Leak Remediation > **Role**: `teamwork_preview_explorer` (`explorer_m3_r2_3`) > **Mission**: Milestone 3 Remediation (Iteration 2) — Hideout Instance Session Cleanup > **Working Directory**: `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\explorer_m3_r2_3` > **Parent**: Orchestrator (`orchestrator_1` / `bc45a740-aa86-45b5-8706-381960281bc6`) > **Status**: Complete — Hard Handoff Ready for Downstream Worker --- ## 1. Observation ### 1.1. Current Portal Depletion in `server/world/hideout_engine.py` In `server/world/hideout_engine.py` (lines 313–320): ```python 313: # If exhausted all 6 portals, close device 314: if dev.portals_remaining == 0: 315: dev.active_map = None 316: msg = f"Đã bước qua cổng #{target_idx + 1}. Đây là CỔNG CUỐI CÙNG (0/6)! Tinh Đồ Nghi đã khép lại." 317: else: 318: msg = f"Đã bước qua cổng #{target_idx + 1}. Còn lại {dev.portals_remaining}/6 Cổng Tinh Đồ." 319: 320: return True, msg, result ``` - Line 315 sets `dev.active_map = None`. - `dev.active_instance_id` is NOT cleared and retains the string identifier `f"inst_map_{astral_map.map_id}_{uuid.uuid4().hex[:8]}"`. - The method signature on line 267 is `enter_map_portal(self, player_id: str, portal_index: Optional[int] = None) -> Tuple[bool, str, Optional[Dict[str, Any]]]`, lacking a parameter or channel to interact with `ZoneEngine`. ### 1.2. Stale Session Retention in `ZoneEngine.active_instances` In `server/world/hideout_engine.py` (lines 245–258), `create_map_instance_session` registers an `InstanceSession` into `ZoneEngine`: ```python 245: session = InstanceSession( 246: instance_id=dev.active_instance_id or f"inst_map_{astral_map.map_id}", 247: template_id=astral_map.map_id, 248: instance_zone_id=astral_map.zone_template_id, 249: leader_player_id=player_id, 250: member_player_ids=[], 251: current_layer=1, 252: max_layers=1, 253: lives_remaining=6, 254: time_limit_sec=7200, 255: start_timestamp_ms=int(time.time() * 1000), 256: spatial_grid=SpatialGrid(cell_size=64.0), 257: ) 258: zone_engine.active_instances[session.instance_id] = session ``` In `server/world/zone_engine.py` (line 66): ```python 66: self.active_instances: Dict[str, InstanceSession] = {} ``` Because `enter_map_portal` does not notify or remove the instance session from `zone_engine.active_instances`, each depleted map instance permanently remains in memory with its associated `SpatialGrid(cell_size=64.0)`. ### 1.3. Test Gap in `tests/unit/test_hideout_engine.py` In `tests/unit/test_hideout_engine.py`: - `test_map_portal_consumption_lifecycle` (lines 101–125) consumes all 6 portals and asserts `res_last["portals_remaining"] == 0`, but does not assert `hideout.map_device.active_instance_id is None`. - `test_map_device_session_bridge_and_zone_isolation` (lines 239–267) verifies session registration on activation, but never simulates portal traversal to 0 or asserts removal from `zone_engine.active_instances`. ### 1.4. Quantitative Hygiene Constraints Auditing with `python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict`: - Current length of `server/world/hideout_engine.py`: 464 lines (Hard Cap <= 500 lines). Headroom is 36 lines. - Current length of `tests/unit/test_hideout_engine.py`: 283 lines (Soft Cap <= 350 lines, Hard Cap <= 500 lines). - `FUNCTION_HARD_CAP`: 50 lines. --- ## 2. Logic Chain 1. **Root Cause**: `enter_map_portal` transitions `dev.portals_remaining` from 1 to 0, which logically closes the Astral Map Device (`dev.active_map = None`), but fails to perform session lifecycle termination: - `dev.active_instance_id` is left populated. - Any reference in `ZoneEngine.active_instances` is left lingering indefinitely. 2. **Impact**: - Memory Leak: Every consumed map leaves a dormant `InstanceSession` and `SpatialGrid` in `ZoneEngine.active_instances`. - Inconsistent State: `dev.active_map is None` while `dev.active_instance_id` still points to an instance ID, creating an invalid intermediate state. 3. **Proposed Fix**: - Update signature to `enter_map_portal(self, player_id: str, portal_index: Optional[int] = None, zone_engine: Optional[Any] = None) -> Tuple[bool, str, Optional[Dict[str, Any]]]`. - Implement flexible argument normalization: if `portal_index` is provided as a non-integer object (e.g. `ZoneEngine`), treat it as `zone_engine` and reset `portal_index = None`. - In `dev.portals_remaining == 0`: - If `zone_engine is not None and hasattr(zone_engine, "active_instances")`: - If `dev.active_instance_id and dev.active_instance_id in zone_engine.active_instances`: `zone_engine.active_instances.pop(dev.active_instance_id, None)`. - Set `dev.active_map = None`. - Set `dev.active_instance_id = None`. 4. **Preservation of Return Value**: `result` dictionary is constructed at line 301 before `portals_remaining == 0` handling. Thus, `result["instance_id"]` still reflects the instance entered on the 6th portal, ensuring client and caller continuity for the final traversal. 5. **Code Hygiene & Size Compliance**: - Net change to `hideout_engine.py`: +11 lines (total 475 lines, well below 500-line Hard Cap). - `enter_map_portal` method length: exactly 49 lines (within 50-line `FUNCTION_HARD_CAP`). - Net change to `test_hideout_engine.py`: +23 lines (total 306 lines, well below 350-line Soft Cap). --- ## 3. Caveats - **Scope Boundary**: This remediation is strictly isolated to the Map Device instance session cleanup and associated unit tests. Client-side script import issues (`monster_pack_system.js` and `ambush_trigger_system.js`) and rendering calls are handled by peer remediation streams. - **Backwards Compatibility**: Callers that do not pass `zone_engine` (e.g. legacy unit tests or simple consumption tests) will still benefit from `dev.active_instance_id = None` being cleared without raising any exceptions. - **No Direct Modification**: Per read-only explorer guidelines, no production repository source files were permanently modified during this phase. All verification was executed using in-memory patch application and reversible checks. --- ## 4. Conclusion The session leak is accurately localized, a zero-regression solution has been designed and verified, and a complete unified diff patch is generated and ready for the downstream Worker. ### 4.1.
