Description

Fixes #13556

HyperionWebsocketService.send() calls .get() on the websocket send future,
blocking the current thread indefinitely. When the shared taskExecutor pool
is saturated by Hyperion code generation jobs (both threads parked), the
websocket send task — which runs on the same pool — can never execute,
creating a permanent deadlock.

Fix

Replace .get() with .whenComplete() (fire-and-forget). The websocket
progress update is informational — if it fails, the job continues without
issue, and the next progress event will be sent normally. This is the
simplest and most correct fix per the options described in the issue.

Changes

  • HyperionWebsocketService.java: remove .get() blocking call, use
    .whenComplete() callback for async logging
  • Removed unused java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException import

Testing

  • No behavioral change for the normal (non-deadlock) case — the send still
    executes and logs success/failure
  • Under pool saturation, the send no longer blocks the worker thread,
    preventing the deadlock entirely

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • WebSocket message delivery now completes asynchronously, helping avoid blocking operations and improving responsiveness.
  • Reliability

    • Success and failure outcomes are reported after message processing completes, providing more accurate delivery status.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Hyperion websocket message sending no longer blocks on .get(). The service now logs success or failure from an asynchronous whenComplete callback.

Changes

Hyperion websocket delivery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Asynchronous send completion
src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/hyperion/service/websocket/HyperionWebsocketService.java
send uses whenComplete to log websocket send failures or successful completion without catching InterruptedException or ExecutionException.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b80e4

The change prevents websocket sends from blocking worker threads, but completion or error messages may arrive before earlier progress or file events if clients rely on event ordering. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to confirm and, if required, preserve per-job event order.

The change directly satisfies issue #13556 by replacing blocking CompletableFuture.get() handling with asynchronous whenComplete processing, so WebSocket delivery cannot block Hyperion code generation workers.

Preserve Hyperion event order.

WebsocketMessagingService.sendMessageToUser submits each message independently to the 16-thread taskExecutor, and the websocket outbound channel also uses multiple workers. Therefore, DONE or ERROR can reach the client before an earlier progress or file event. Add a regression test with the configured executor and serialize sends per job and topic if the client contract requires ordering.
