Bug: BatchExecutor exhibits a memory leak leading to degraded performance over time #85

Description

@Jaydbrown

Description

During extensive QA testing, we identified a critical flaw where the BatchExecutor component exhibits a memory leak leading to degraded performance over time.

This results in a poor developer experience for anyone consuming our SDK.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Initialize the BatchExecutor module in a standard production environment.
  2. Trigger the specific edge case (e.g., rapid state changes or malformed input).
  3. Observe the system state. Notice that it exhibits a memory leak leading to degraded performance over time instead of returning the expected output or gracefully handling the error.

Technical Analysis

The root cause appears to be a missing boundary check or improper lifecycle management within the core logic of BatchExecutor. When the asynchronous operation resolves, the state may have already mutated, leading to this bug.

Requirements for Fix

  • Add explicit boundary and null checks before processing the payload.
  • Ensure all asynchronous callbacks are properly cleaned up.
  • Write a comprehensive regression test that simulates this exact failure mode to prevent future regressions.
