Overview

This PR implements the core PubSub framework infrastructure for the C# Valkey GLIDE client, providing the foundational components needed to support PubSub functionality.

Addresses: #102

What's Implemented

This PR completes tasks 1-7 of the PubSub framework specification:

✅ Core Infrastructure (Tasks 1-7)

  • Message handling and routing logic (callback vs queue)
  • Thread safety under concurrent access scenarios
  • Async operations with cancellation token support
  • Configuration validation and builder pattern functionality
  • FFI integration and callback management workflows

…mory management

Add missing Rust FFI implementations for PubSub functionality:

- Add PubSubMessageInfo struct for FFI message data
- Add PubSubCallback type for callback function pointers
- Add register_pubsub_callback() function for callback registration
- Add free_pubsub_message() function for memory cleanup
- Include placeholder implementations with proper safety documentation

These functions provide the Rust-side implementation for the C# FFI
declarations added in the previous commit, enabling proper interop
between C# PubSub infrastructure and the Rust glide-core library.

Replace placeholder PubSub FFI implementation with working callback system:

- Add pubsub_callback field to Client struct with thread-safe Mutex protection
- Implement proper callback registration in register_pubsub_callback()
- Add invoke_pubsub_callback() helper for glide-core integration
- Add create_pubsub_message() helper for message creation from Rust strings
- Use Arc reference counting for safe client pointer access
- Maintain proper memory management and thread safety

This provides a complete callback infrastructure ready for integration
with glide-core PubSub functionality when it becomes available.

This commit addresses a critical memory leak in the FFI layer where Rust-allocated
memory was not properly freed after C# marshaling during PubSub message processing.

Key Changes:

Rust FFI Layer (rust/src/lib.rs):
- Replaced std::mem::forget() with scoped lifetime management in process_push_notification
- Vec<u8> instances now remain alive during callback execution and auto-cleanup on exit
- Added comprehensive message structure validation based on PushKind type
- Implemented proper error logging for invalid message formats and unexpected value types
- Enhanced validation ensures message structure matches expected format for each PushKind

Memory Leak Detection Tests:
- Added PubSubFFIMemoryLeakTests.cs with comprehensive memory leak detection
- Tests process 100,000+ messages and verify memory usage remains bounded
- Includes tests for various message sizes, GC pressure, concurrent access, and extended duration
- Added PubSubMemoryLeakFixValidationTests.cs for simple validation scenarios

Test Cleanup:
- Removed tests dependent on deleted PubSubCallbackManager and ClientRegistry classes
- Deleted PubSubCallbackIntegrationTests.cs (tested removed PubSubCallbackManager)
- Deleted PubSubFFIWorkflowTests.cs (tested removed PubSubCallbackManager)
- Deleted ClientRegistryTests.cs (tested removed ClientRegistry)
- Updated PubSubFFIIntegrationTests.cs to remove tests using removed infrastructure
- Updated PubSubFFICallbackIntegrationTests.cs to remove ClientRegistry tests
- Fixed Lock type to object for .NET 8 compatibility
- Changed explicit type declarations to var to avoid type resolution issues

All unit tests (242) now pass successfully.

- Remove unused PubSubConfigurationExtensions class and all extension methods
- Remove unused EnableMetrics and MetricsInterval properties from PubSubPerformanceConfig
- Simplify Validate() method to only check used properties
- Keep core functionality: ChannelCapacity, FullMode, and ShutdownTimeout

The extension methods were never integrated into the codebase and the metrics
properties were not being used. This cleanup reduces code complexity and
maintenance burden while preserving all actively used functionality.

@jbrinkman jbrinkman force-pushed the jbrinkman/pubsub-core branch from ad3669e to d59edfd Compare October 20, 2025 20:43
- Fix Rust FFI logic to create push notification channel when PubSub subscriptions are configured
- Previously required both subscriptions AND callback, preventing queue-based message retrieval
- Now creates channel whenever subscriptions exist, spawns callback task only when callback provided
- Update cluster pattern subscription test to account for cluster mode behavior
- Increase subscription establishment wait time from 1s to 5s for cluster propagation
- Remove unreliable assertion on PUBLISH return value in cluster mode
- Pattern subscriptions may be on different nodes than where channel is hashed

This fixes the ClusterPatternSubscription_WithServerPublish_ReceivesMatchingMessages test
and enables both callback-based and queue-based PubSub patterns in cluster mode.

- Remove SimpleConfigTest.cs (trivial test covered elsewhere)
- Remove 2 weak FFI marshaling tests that only verified no exceptions
- Remove 1 duplicate Dispose_MultipleCalls_DoesNotThrow test
- Remove 2 redundant concurrent processing tests in PubSubThreadSafetyTests
- Remove 2 generic timeout tests not specific to PubSub
- Consolidate 2 async tests into single comprehensive test
- Rename test to accurately reflect behavior (disposal completion vs logging)

These changes improve test suite maintainability by removing 8 redundant
or misleading tests while maintaining comprehensive coverage (85%+ for
PubSub components). All 132 remaining PubSub tests pass successfully.

Test Results:
- Unit tests: 252 total, 119 PubSub-specific
- Integration tests: 1,777 total, 13 PubSub-specific
- Combined coverage: 72.7% line, 49.9% branch
