Bug: Async Test Pollution in test_a2a_tools_inbox_wrappers.py

Severity: Medium | Regression: Yes — introduced in commit abc3affc (test-only)

Description

workspace/tests/test_a2a_tools_inbox_wrappers.py adds 14 tests. Pass in isolation (14/14 pass) but fail in full suite (14 failed, 1959 passed, exit code 1).

Root Cause

Test methods use _run(coro) = asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(coro) which bypasses pytest-asyncio lifecycle. With asyncio_mode = auto, pytest-asyncio auto-await-ifies test methods but _run() creates a nested event loop. When conftest.py fixtures (from test_a2a_executor.py etc.) are loaded first, the event loop state is corrupted and coroutines never execute.

Evidence from full-suite run:

RuntimeWarning: coroutine tool_inbox_peek was never awaited
RuntimeWarning: coroutine tool_inbox_pop was never awaited
RuntimeWarning: coroutine tool_wait_for_message was never awaited

Expected Fix

Replace _run() with @pytest.mark.asyncio decorated async def test methods using await directly. Ensure pytest-asyncio owns the event loop lifecycle.

Environment

Python 3.11.15, pytest 9.0.3, pytest-asyncio 1.3.0, pytest.ini asyncio_mode=auto

[triage-operator] I-1..I-6 triage

I-1: 14 tests in test_a2a_tools_inbox_wrappers.py pass in isolation but fail in full suite — async pollution from asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete() leaking state between tests.

I-2 (PR?): Yes — PRs #333 and #341 both fix by replacing asyncio.run_until_complete with pytest.mark.asyncio async/await.

I-3 (Severity): MEDIUM — tests are non-deterministic in full suite, reducing test signal.

I-4 (Owner): fullstack-engineer.

I-5 (Milestone): Close once PR #333 or #341 merges.

I-6 (Acceptance criteria): All 14 tests pass in isolation AND in full suite. No asyncio event loop state pollution.

Recommendation: Label tier:low. Close as resolved by PR #333 (focused fix) or #341 (bundled).
