## BUG-006: Deadlock in Tile Scheduler ✅ RESOLVED

**Status:** Already resolved by architecture  
**Resolution:** The codebase uses a message-passing pattern instead of shared locks:
- Scheduler produces `TileAction` messages (doesn't modify cache)
- View executes actions and updates cache
- Worker threads send messages back to main thread
- Main thread processes messages and updates cache

This architecture avoids deadlocks by design.

**Code Review:**
```rust
// scheduler.rs - produces actions, doesn't modify cache
pub fn schedule(&mut self, cache: &TileCache, config: &SchedulerConfig, style_epoch: u64) -> Vec<TileAction> {
    // Returns Vec<TileAction> - doesn't modify cache
}

// view.rs - executes actions and updates cache
for action in actions {
    match action {
        TileAction::LoadLocalBatch { ... } => {
            self.cache.insert_loading(*key, TileLoadState::LoadingLocal);
            pool.execute_rev(batch_tag, move |_tag| {
                // Worker thread loads tiles
                sender.send(TileWorkerMessage::LocalBatchLoaded { ... });
            });
        }
    }
}

// Main thread processes messages
while let Ok(msg) = self.tile_worker_rx.try_recv() {
    match msg {
        TileWorkerMessage::LocalBatchLoaded { ... } => {
            self.cache.insert_ready(cx, tile_key, buffers);
        }
    }
}
```

**Verdict:** No deadlock possible with current architecture.

## BUG-001: Race Condition in Tile Loading 🔍 ANALYZING

**Severity:** CRITICAL  
**Module:** view.rs, cache.rs  
**Estimated Effort:** 2 days

### Analysis

Looking at the code, the current architecture uses message passing to avoid race conditions:
1. Worker threads load tiles and send messages via `sender.send()`
2. Main thread receives messages and updates cache
3. No direct cache access from worker threads

However, there might still be race conditions in:
1. Cache state transitions (LoadingLocal → Ready)
2. Multiple worker threads sending messages simultaneously
3. Cache eviction while tiles are being loaded

### Potential Race Conditions

**Race Condition #1: Cache State Transition**
```rust
// Worker thread 1
sender.send(TileWorkerMessage::LocalBatchLoaded { tile_key, ... });

// Worker thread 2
sender.send(TileWorkerMessage::LocalBatchLoaded { tile_key, ... });

// Main thread processes both messages
// BUG: Same tile inserted twice?
```

**Race Condition #2: Cache Eviction During Loading**
```rust
// Main thread
self.cache.insert_loading(tile_key, TileLoadState::LoadingLocal);

// Main thread (later)
self.cache.evict(&visible, target_zoom);
// BUG: Tile evicted while still loading?

// Worker thread
sender.send(TileWorkerMessage::LocalBatchLoaded { tile_key, ... });
// BUG: Message for evicted tile?
```

**Race Condition #3: Generation Mismatch**
```rust
// Main thread
let generation = self.scheduler.current_generation();
pool.execute_rev(tile_key, move |_tag| {
    // Worker thread loads tile with generation N
    sender.send(TileWorkerMessage::LocalBatchLoaded { generation: N, ... });
});

// Main thread (later)
self.scheduler.reset_generation(); // Generation becomes N+1

// Worker thread finishes
// BUG: Message with stale generation N?
```

### Proposed Fix

Add validation to prevent race conditions:

```rust
// In view.rs - process worker messages
while let Ok(msg) = self.tile_worker_rx.try_recv() {
    match msg {
        TileWorkerMessage::LocalBatchLoaded { tile_key, generation, ... } => {
            // Validate generation
            if generation != self.scheduler.current_generation() {
                log!("Discarding stale tile {:?} (generation {} != {})", 
                    tile_key, generation, self.scheduler.current_generation());
                continue;
            }
            
            // Validate tile is still loading
            if !self.cache.is_loading(tile_key) {
                log!("Discarding tile {:?} (not in loading state)", tile_key);
                continue;
            }
            
            // Safe to insert
            self.cache.insert_ready(cx, tile_key, buffers);
        }
    }
}
```

### Implementation Plan

1. Add generation validation to all message handlers
2. Add state validation before cache updates
3. Add logging for discarded messages
4. Add tests for race conditions

**Status:** Ready to implement

## BUG-002: Memory Leak in Cache Eviction ⏳ PENDING

**Severity:** CRITICAL  
**Module:** cache.rs  
**Estimated Effort:** 1 day

### Analysis

Looking at the eviction code:
```rust
pub fn evict(&mut self, visible: &HashSet<TileKey>, target_zoom: u32) {
    if self.tiles.len() <= self.max_tiles {
        return;
    }
    // ...
    self.tiles.retain(|key, entry| {
        // ...
    });
}
```

The issue is that when tiles are evicted, their GPU resources (geometry) are not freed.

### Proposed Fix

Add GPU resource cleanup to eviction:

```rust
pub fn evict(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, visible: &HashSet<TileKey>, target_zoom: u32) {
    if self.tiles.len() <= self.max_tiles {
        return;
    }
    
    let mut to_remove = Vec::new();
    
    for (key, entry) in &self.tiles {
        if !visible.contains(key) && /* other conditions */ {
            // Free GPU resources
            if let TileLoadState::Ready { fill_geometry, stroke_geometry, .. } = &entry.state {
                if let Some(geom) = fill_geometry {
                    geom.free(cx);
                }
                if let Some(geom) = stroke_geometry {
                    geom.free(cx);
                }
            }
            to_remove.push(*key);
        }
    }
    
    for key in to_remove {
        self.tiles.remove(&key);
    }
}
```

### Implementation Plan

1. Add `cx: &mut Cx` parameter to `evict()` method
2. Free GPU resources before removing tiles
3. Update all callers to pass `cx`
4. Add tests for memory cleanup

**Status:** Ready to implement

## Next Steps

1. Implement BUG-001 fix (race conditions)
2. Implement BUG-002 fix (memory leak)
3. Continue with remaining bugs

**Estimated Completion:** 18 days (2 developers)
