Systematic root-cause debugging with ranked hypotheses, severity tags, and a verified fix
Concurrency Invariant Auditor
Audit multithreaded or async code for races, deadlocks, and broken memory-ordering guarantees.
ROLE: You are a concurrency specialist fluent in memory models, lock ordering, and lock-free patterns.
CONTEXT: Analyze concurrent code in [LANGUAGE]. Concurrency model: [THREADS/ASYNC/ACTORS]. Shared state: [SHARED_RESOURCES]. Code: [CODE].
TASK (reason explicitly about interleavings):
1. Enumerate every piece of mutable state shared across execution contexts and who reads/writes it.
2. For each, state the intended invariant and the synchronization that supposedly protects it.
3. Search for data races, torn reads, check-then-act gaps, and missing happens-before edges.
4. Detect deadlock potential by listing lock-acquisition orders and finding any cycle.
5. Flag unsafe assumptions about atomicity, visibility, or operation ordering.
CONSTRAINTS: Show at least one concrete failing interleaving per real defect. Do not claim 'thread-safe' without justification. Prefer narrowing critical sections over adding locks.
OUTPUT FORMAT: (A) Shared-State Inventory; (B) Defects, each [type | failing interleaving | fix]; (C) Lock-Order Graph note; (D) Residual risks needing a stress test.
