Summary

  • Fixes two hangs in the init tracking added by feat: pass the bound domain to provider init and support domain-scoped providers #345. Copilot found them in review, and the fixes landed on the branch just after it merged, so they missed 0.6.7.
    • Replacing a provider whose init is still running used to leave anyone in set_provider_and_wait on it blocked, even after shutdown. They now get ProviderInitializationError.
    • set_provider_and_wait called from inside the provider's own init (for example, from a handler of an event it emits there) used to wait on itself forever. It now raises ProviderInitializationError instead of deadlocking, and never reports the unfinished init as successful.
  • Part of Spec v0.9.0 compliance #300.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- Replacing a provider whose init is still running marks that attempt
  failed and wakes anyone waiting on it, the same as shutdown does.
- set_provider_and_wait called from inside the provider's own init
  (e.g. a handler of an event it emits) raises instead of waiting on
  itself forever.

📝 Walkthrough

Provider initialization attempts now retain their initializing thread. Reset and provider replacement fail pending attempts and release their waiters. Synchronous registration raises an initialization error for same-thread re-entry and for attempts that do not succeed.

Changes: Provider initialization lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track and abandon initialization attempts
lib/open_feature/sdk/configuration.rb, sig/open_feature/sdk/configuration.rbs
Initialization attempts now retain their thread. Reset and provider replacement abandon pending attempts. Private declarations cover the new helper methods.
Handle re-entry and incomplete initialization
lib/open_feature/sdk/configuration.rb, spec/specification/flag_evaluation_api_spec.rb
Synchronous registration raises ProviderInitializationError instead of waiting on an attempt running on the current thread. Other waiters receive the stored error or an incomplete-initialization error unless initialization succeeds. Specs cover provider replacement and same-thread re-entry.

Comment thread lib/open_feature/sdk/configuration.rb Resolved
If another thread replaces or shuts down the provider while
set_provider_and_wait is running its init, the call now raises
ProviderInitializationError, matching what waiters on the same attempt
get. The abandoned attempt also no longer dispatches READY.
