๐Ÿงญ 1. Summary

This technical design implements Phase 2 of the DI roadmap by adding automatic bootstrapping with early initialization support to the DiContainer. The design introduces dependency cycle detection, fail-fast validation, and thread-safe singleton resolution during the bootstrap process.

At a glance:

  • Automatic bootstrapping triggered on first resolve call
  • Manual bootstrap capability with container.bootstrap()
  • Dependency cycle detection with clear error reporting
  • Early singleton resolution and validation
  • Thread-safe bootstrapping process with idempotent behavior

๐Ÿ“š 2. Context and Problem Statement

The Phase 1 container provides registration and resolution but lacks initialization orchestration and dependency validation:

Current Limitations

  1. No Dependency Validation - Circular dependencies discovered at runtime during resolution
  2. Late Error Detection - Dependency issues only surface when specific services are resolved
  3. No Initialization Control - No way to eagerly initialize critical singletons
  4. Missing Validation - No pre-runtime validation of dependency graph integrity

2.1 Goals

  1. Automatic Bootstrapping - Trigger bootstrap process on first resolve call
  2. Dependency Cycle Detection - Identify and report circular dependencies before runtime
  3. Early Singleton Resolution - Resolve all registered singletons during bootstrap
  4. Fail-Fast Validation - Validate dependency graph integrity at bootstrap time
  5. Thread-Safe Operations - Ensure bootstrap process is thread-safe and idempotent

2.2 Non-Goals (Out of Scope)

  • Named registrations or qualifiers (future consideration)
  • Advanced lifecycle scopes beyond singleton/transient (Phase 4+)
  • Configuration binding and property injection (Phase 4)
  • Module scanning and auto-discovery (Phase 5)

2.3 Assumptions and Constraints

  • Phase 1 DiContainer implementation is complete and available
  • Dependency tracking infrastructure from Phase 1 is functional
  • Bootstrap process should be optional and manual override-able
  • Thread safety without significant performance degradation

๐Ÿงฉ 3. Design Overview

The bootstrap system transforms the Phase 1 container into a self-validating, dependency-aware container with automatic initialization orchestration. The design centers around atomic operations, container status management, and * *graph-based dependency analysis**.

3.1 Core Design Principles

๐Ÿ”„ Container Status Lifecycle: Three-state management (READY/PENDING/FAILED) with clear transitions:

  • READY: Empty container or successfully bootstrapped
  • PENDING: Services registered, bootstrap required
  • FAILED: Bootstrap failed, recovery needed

โš›๏ธ Atomic Bootstrap Operations: All-or-nothing bootstrap with complete state reversion on failure.

๐Ÿ“Š Graph-Based Analysis: Leverage loryth.common.collections.graph for both cycle detection and dependency ordering.

๐Ÿ” Reflection-Driven Dependencies: Fresh dependency analysis during bootstrap using reflection system.

3.2 Bootstrap Flow Architecture

3.3 Component Architecture

Component Purpose Key Features
ContainerStatus State management enum READY/PENDING/FAILED transitions
BootstrapManager Orchestrates bootstrap lifecycle Status transitions, error handling
DependencyCycleDetector Graph-based dependency analysis Uses AdjacencyListGraph, topological_sort()
SingletonInitializer Ordered singleton resolution Dependency-first initialization
DiMetrics Bootstrap observability Performance tracking, diagnostics

3.4 State Management & Recovery

The container lifecycle is managed through clear state transitions:

  • Registration Impact: Any service registration transitions container from READY โ†’ PENDING
  • Bootstrap Success: PENDING โ†’ READY with populated singleton cache
  • Bootstrap Failure: PENDING โ†’ FAILED with complete state reversion
  • Recovery Mechanism: New registration after failure enables FAILED โ†’ PENDING transition

3.5 Thread Safety & Concurrency

Bootstrap operations are designed for safe concurrent access:

  • Reentrant Locking: threading.RLock() enables same-thread resolve calls during bootstrap
  • Serialized Access: Multiple threads block until bootstrap completion
  • Atomic State Changes: Container status and cache modifications are atomic
  • Concurrent Resolution: Post-bootstrap resolution is fully concurrent

3.6 Integration with Existing Systems

The bootstrap system integrates seamlessly with existing components:

  • Phase 1 Compatibility: All existing registration and resolution APIs unchanged
  • Reflection Integration: Leverages loryth.common.reflection for dependency analysis
  • Graph Collection: Uses loryth.common.collections.graph for cycle detection and ordering
  • Independent Metrics: Simple DI metrics system separate from reflection metrics

๐Ÿ“ 4. Implementation Details

4.1 Enhanced DiContainer Architecture

from enum import Enum


class ContainerStatus(Enum):
    """Container bootstrap status."""
    PENDING = "pending"  # Services registered, bootstrap needed
    READY = "ready"  # Bootstrap completed successfully
    FAILED = "failed"  # Bootstrap failed, recovery needed


class DiContainer:
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self._items: list[DiContainerItem[Any]] = []
        self._cache: dict[type, Any] = {}
        self._bootstrap_manager = BootstrapManager(self)
        self._bootstrap_lock = threading.RLock()
        self._status = ContainerStatus.READY  # Start ready (no services)

    def bootstrap(self) -> None:
        """Manually trigger bootstrap process."""
        with self._bootstrap_lock:
            if self._status == ContainerStatus.READY:
                return  # Already bootstrapped

            try:
                self._bootstrap_manager.bootstrap()
                self._status = ContainerStatus.READY
            except Exception as e:
                self._status = ContainerStatus.FAILED
                # Revert to pre-bootstrap state
                self._cache.clear()
                raise

    def resolve[T](self, service_type: type[T]) -> T:
        """Resolve service with automatic bootstrap."""
        # Trigger bootstrap if needed
        if self._status == ContainerStatus.PENDING:
            self.bootstrap()
        elif self._status == ContainerStatus.FAILED:
            raise BootstrapError("Container in failed state, cannot resolve services")

        # Existing resolution logic from Phase 1
        return self._resolve_service(service_type)

    def validate_dependencies(self) -> None:
        """Validate dependency graph without bootstrapping."""
        detector = DependencyCycleDetector(self._dependencies)
        cycles = detector.detect_cycles()
        if cycles:
            raise DependencyCycleError(f"Circular dependencies detected: {cycles}")

4.2 Bootstrap Manager Implementation

class BootstrapManager:
    def __init__(self, container: DiContainer) -> None:
        self._container = container
        self._validator = BootstrapValidator(container)
        self._cycle_detector = DependencyCycleDetector()
        self._singleton_initializer = SingletonInitializer(container)

    def bootstrap(self) -> None:
        """Execute complete bootstrap process."""
        try:
            # Phase 1: Validate dependency graph
            self._validate_dependencies()

            # Phase 2: Detect circular dependencies
            self._detect_cycles()

            # Phase 3: Initialize all singletons
            self._initialize_singletons()

        except Exception as e:
            # Bootstrap failure should be clear and actionable
            raise BootstrapError(f"Bootstrap failed: {e}") from e

    def _validate_dependencies(self) -> None:
        """Validate all registered services have resolvable dependencies."""
        self._validator.validate_all_dependencies()

    def _detect_cycles(self) -> None:
        """Detect and report circular dependencies."""
        cycles = self._cycle_detector.detect_cycles(self._container._dependencies)
        if cycles:
            formatted_cycles = self._format_cycle_errors(cycles)
            raise DependencyCycleError(f"Circular dependencies detected:\n{formatted_cycles}")

    def _initialize_singletons(self) -> None:
        """Resolve all registered singleton services."""
        singleton_types = self._get_singleton_types()
        self._singleton_initializer.initialize_all(singleton_types)

    def _get_singleton_types(self) -> list[type]:
        """Get all service types registered as singletons."""
        return [
            item.type_ for item in self._container._items
            if item.lifecycle == ServiceLifecycle.SINGLETON
        ]

4.3 Dependency Cycle Detection

from loryth.common.collections.graph import AdjacencyListGraph, topological_sort


class DependencyCycleDetector:
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self._graph: AdjacencyListGraph[type, None] = AdjacencyListGraph()

    def build_dependency_graph(self, container: "DiContainer") -> None:
        """Build dependency graph from container's registered services."""
        # Add all service types as nodes
        for item in container._items:
            if not self._graph.has_node(item.type_):
                self._graph.add_node(item.type_)

        # Analyze dependencies for each service and add edges
        for item in container._items:
            dependencies = self._analyze_service_dependencies(container, item)
            for dep_type in dependencies:
                if self._graph.has_node(dep_type):
                    # Edge from service to its dependency
                    self._graph.add_edge(item.type_, dep_type, None)

    def detect_cycle_via_topological_sort(self) -> None:
        """Detect cycles using topological sort - throws if cycle exists."""
        try:
            topological_sort(self._graph)
        except ValueError as e:
            if "cycle" in str(e).lower():
                raise DependencyCycleError("Circular dependency detected in service graph")
            raise

    def get_topological_order(self) -> list[type]:
        """Get services in dependency order (dependencies first)."""
        return list(topological_sort(self._graph))

    def _analyze_service_dependencies(self, container: "DiContainer", item: DiContainerItem) -> list[type]:
        """Analyze dependencies for a specific service using reflection."""
        if item.lifecycle == ServiceLifecycle.SINGLETON and callable(item.provider):
            # For type-based services, analyze constructor dependencies
            # This will be implemented in Phase 2.2
            return container._get_service_dependencies(item.type_)
        return []

4.4 Singleton Initialization

class SingletonInitializer:
    def __init__(self, container: DiContainer, cycle_detector: DependencyCycleDetector) -> None:
        self._container = container
        self._cycle_detector = cycle_detector

    def initialize_all_singletons(self) -> None:
        """Initialize all singleton services in dependency order."""
        # Get topological order from cycle detector (dependencies first)
        ordered_types = self._cycle_detector.get_topological_order()

        # Filter to only singleton services
        singleton_types = [
            service_type for service_type in ordered_types
            if self._is_singleton_service(service_type)
        ]

        for service_type in singleton_types:
            try:
                # Use container's resolve method to leverage existing logic
                self._container._resolve_service(service_type)
            except Exception as e:
                raise SingletonInitializationError(
                    f"Failed to initialize singleton {service_type.__name__}: {e}"
                ) from e

    def _is_singleton_service(self, service_type: type) -> bool:
        """Check if service type is registered as singleton."""
        item = self._container._find_provider(service_type)
        return item is not None and item.lifecycle == ServiceLifecycle.SINGLETON

4.5 Container Status Management

The container uses a three-state status enum to track bootstrap lifecycle:

  • READY: Container has no services or is successfully bootstrapped
  • PENDING: Services registered, bootstrap required before resolution
  • FAILED: Bootstrap failed, container unusable until recovery

Status transitions:

  • Initial state: READY (empty container)
  • On registration: READY โ†’ PENDING
  • On successful bootstrap: PENDING โ†’ READY
  • On bootstrap failure: PENDING โ†’ FAILED
  • On recovery (new registration): FAILED โ†’ PENDING

4.6 Dependency Graph Construction

Bootstrap builds dependency graph fresh using loryth.common.collections.graph.AdjacencyListGraph:

  • Graph Construction: Add all service types as nodes, analyze dependencies via reflection, add edges
  • Cycle Detection: Use topological_sort() from collections - throws ValueError if cycles exist
  • Topological Ordering: Get dependency-first resolution order from same topological sort
  • Performance: Single graph construction covers both cycle detection and ordering

4.7 Bootstrap Failure Recovery

Atomic bootstrap operations with complete state reversion:

  • Success: Cache populated, status โ†’ READY
  • Failure: Cache cleared, status โ†’ FAILED, preserve pre-bootstrap registrations
  • Recovery: Allow new registrations to reset status โ†’ PENDING

4.8 DI Metrics System

Simple, comprehensive metrics tracking separate from reflection system:

Tracked Metrics:

  • Bootstrap calls count and duration
  • Number of services (total, singletons, transients)
  • Average service initialization duration
  • Number of resolutions and average duration
  • Per-service initialization details and timing
  • Cycle detection attempts and results

Design Philosophy:

  • Evaluate alternative to reflection metrics
  • Simple data collection without complex infrastructure
  • Focus on actionable debugging information

4.9 Graph Collection Integration

Leverage existing loryth.common.collections.graph for dependency analysis:

  • Cycle Detection: Use topological_sort() - throws on cycles (no custom DFS needed)
  • Dependency Ordering: Same topological sort provides correct initialization order
  • Graph Type: AdjacencyListGraph[type, None] for service dependencies
  • Performance: O(V + E) complexity for both cycle detection and ordering

โš™๏ธ 5. Semantics

5.1 Container Status Transitions

  • Initial State: READY (empty container, no services registered)
  • Registration Effect: Any service registration transitions READY โ†’ PENDING
  • Bootstrap Success: PENDING โ†’ READY (all singletons cached)
  • Bootstrap Failure: PENDING โ†’ FAILED (cache cleared, registrations preserved)
  • Recovery: New registration after failure transitions FAILED โ†’ PENDING

5.2 Bootstrap Triggers

  • Automatic: First call to resolve(), resolve_all(), or try_resolve() when status is PENDING
  • Manual: Explicit call to bootstrap() when status is PENDING
  • Failed State: Resolution calls on FAILED status throw BootstrapError
  • Ready State: Resolution calls on READY status proceed without bootstrap

5.3 Bootstrap Process Order

  1. Graph Construction: Build AdjacencyListGraph with service dependencies via reflection
  2. Cycle Detection: Use topological_sort() - throws ValueError if cycles exist
  3. Singleton Initialization: Resolve singletons in topological order (dependencies first)
  4. Factory Execution: Execute singleton factories during initialization
  5. Cache Population: Store resolved singletons in container cache

5.4 Atomic Bootstrap Operations

  • All-or-Nothing: Complete success or complete failure with state reversion
  • State Reversion: Failed bootstrap clears cache, preserves pre-bootstrap registrations
  • Status Management: Failure sets status to FAILED, success sets to READY
  • Error Propagation: Original exception re-thrown after state cleanup

5.5 Thread Safety

  • Bootstrap Lock: threading.RLock() serializes bootstrap and resolution operations
  • Reentrant Operations: Same thread can call resolve during bootstrap
  • Concurrent Protection: Multiple threads block until bootstrap completes
  • Cache Consistency: Singleton cache remains consistent across concurrent access

๐Ÿงช 6. Examples

6.1 Automatic Bootstrap

from loryth.common.di import Container

# Register services
container = Container()
container.register_singleton(UserRepository, SqlUserRepository)
container.register_singleton(UserService, UserService)  # depends on UserRepository

# First resolve triggers automatic bootstrap
user_service = container.resolve(UserService)  # Bootstrap happens here

6.2 Manual Bootstrap

# Register services
container.register_singleton(UserRepository, SqlUserRepository)
container.register_singleton(UserService, UserService)

# Manual bootstrap for early validation
try:
    container.bootstrap()  # All singletons resolved and validated
    print("Bootstrap successful - all dependencies valid")
except DependencyCycleError as e:
    print(f"Circular dependency detected: {e}")
except BootstrapError as e:
    print(f"Bootstrap failed: {e}")

6.3 Dependency Validation

# Register services with circular dependency
container.register_singleton(ServiceA, ServiceA)  # depends on ServiceB
container.register_singleton(ServiceB, ServiceB)  # depends on ServiceA

# Validate without initializing
try:
    container.validate_dependencies()
except DependencyCycleError as e:
    print(f"Validation failed: {e}")
    # Output: "Circular dependencies detected: ServiceA -> ServiceB -> ServiceA"

๐Ÿ“– 13. Glossary

  • Bootstrap: Process of initializing the DI container, detecting cycles, and resolving all singletons in dependency order
  • Container Status: Three-state enum tracking bootstrap lifecycle (READY/PENDING/FAILED)
  • Dependency Cycle: Circular dependency where services depend on each other directly or indirectly
  • Dependency Graph: Directed graph representing service dependencies, built using AdjacencyListGraph[type, None]
  • Topological Sort: Algorithm from loryth.common.collections.graph that orders services by dependencies and detects cycles
  • Atomic Bootstrap: All-or-nothing bootstrap operation that reverts state completely on any failure
  • Singleton Initialization: Process of creating and caching singleton service instances in dependency order
  • State Reversion: Recovery mechanism that clears cache and preserves only pre-bootstrap registrations on failure
  • Bootstrap Trigger: Automatic bootstrap initiation on first resolve call when container status is PENDING
  • DI Metrics: Simple metrics system tracking bootstrap performance, service counts, and initialization timing
