● I see you've invoked the /gp-common-reference skill, which loads the reference
   for the x:\gp\common Delphi unit library. The skill overview is now
  available.

  What would you like to do? Some examples:
  - Find which unit provides a specific capability (e.g. "thread-safe event
  bus", "MPEG-TS parser")
  - Look up the API of a specific unit (e.g. GpStreams, DSiWin32, GpEventBus)
  - Browse a category (time, threading, networking, media, VCL, files, AI, etc.)

● I have a clear picture of the leak now. Here's what's happening:

  Diagnosis

  The leak is a race between Fire (on an ICS HTTP thread) and UnregisterThread 
  (on the FAB worker thread). Version 1.04's fix closed two windows but missed
  this third one.

  The race

  TEventBus.Fire<T> (GpEventBus.pas:697–747) takes the read lock only to
  snapshot the subscription list, then releases it. Dispatch happens outside the
   lock:

  FLock.BeginRead;
  try
    ...
    subscriptions := list.GetActiveSubscriptions;
  finally FLock.EndRead; end;        // <-- lock released here
  ...
  for sub in subscriptions do begin
    ...
    state := GetThreadState(sub.ThreadID);   // briefly locks, AddRefs state
    try
      DispatchToBackgroundThread(state, ...) // NO LOCK during PushItem / 
  QueueUserAPC
    finally state.Release; end;
  end;

  So an ICS-thread Fire can be parked between GetThreadState (refcount bumped to
   2) and DispatchToBackgroundThread (line 734), holding nothing but its AddRef.
   While it's parked there:

  1. The FAB worker calls TTSReceiverClient.Stop → UnsubscribeFromEvents →
  UnregisterThread.
  2. UnregisterThread takes BeginWrite — succeeds (the ICS thread isn't holding
  the lock anymore, only an AddRef).
  3. state.Deactivate, state.Release (refcount 2 → 1).
  4. SleepEx(0, true) — but the ICS thread hasn't queued an APC yet, so SleepEx
  returns immediately with nothing to drain.
  5. FThreadStates.Remove(threadID), EndWrite. UnregisterThread returns.
  6. Now the ICS thread proceeds with DispatchToBackgroundThread: PushItem,
  Exchange APCSignaled 0→1, state.AddRef (refcount 1 → 2), QueueUserAPC to the
  worker's thread handle.
  7. The worker thread continues its cleanup, exits the OTL message dispatcher,
  never enters alertable wait again, and terminates. The queued APC is discarded
   by the kernel.

  After this, state.RefCount stays at 1 forever — the AddRef from step 6 is
  orphaned. Since FThreadStates.Remove already happened in step 5, the bus's own
   Destroy won't see this state either and can't drain its queue.

  That accounts for every entry in the leak report:
  - TThreadDispatchState (52 B) — the state, ref leaked.
  - TThreadedQueue<TProc> (68 B) + the 8308-byte block + 3× TObject (semaphores)
   — internals of EventQueue, freed only when state is freed.
  - UnicodeString "TS Live Source Worker" (68 B) — state.ThreadName.
  - MakeCallback$ActRec<TTSEvtDataAvailable> (52 B) — the TProc pushed in step
  6, sitting in the never-drained queue.
  - TGpBuffer (36 B), TGpMemoryStream (36 B), and the 8308-byte payload —
  captured inside that TProc via TTSEvtDataAvailable.PES.
  - TTSReceiverClient.SubscribeToEvents$ActRec (52 B) — the activation record
  holding the handler method references; freed only when Bus.Destroy clears the
  subscription lists. Since the shared bus is freed normally at finalization but
   the state was already Removed, this isn't directly connected to the state
  leak — it suggests the shared bus's Destroy ran but cleared subscriptions
  while the handler closure was still pinned somehow. Need to verify.

  Why 1.04's fix doesn't cover this

  1.04's UnregisterThread.SleepEx drains APCs queued before BeginWrite, but not
  ones queued after EndWrite. 1.04's Destroy drains queues for states still in
  FThreadStates, but this state has already been removed.

  Fix options

  The cleanest fix is option A: hold the read lock for the entire Fire dispatch 
  loop, so UnregisterThread's BeginWrite waits for any in-flight Fire to
  complete. That requires inlining GetThreadState's lookup (SRWLock isn't
  recursive) but the change is small. After this fix, by the time
  UnregisterThread deactivates and SleepEx-drains, no more QueueUserAPC calls
  can target the state.

  Alternatives:
  - B: Don't Remove the state from FThreadStates in UnregisterThread. Keep it
  until refcount reaches 0 (the bus's Destroy would still drain it). Simpler but
   the state lingers per registered thread name.
  - C: Add an "APC ref claimed" flag so UnregisterThread can atomically claim
  the orphaned AddRef without risking a double-release if the APC eventually
  fires anyway. More complex.

  Want me to implement option A?

✻ Worked for 11m 46s

※ recap: Goal: fix a GpEventBus leak triggered by a race between Fire and UnregisterThread. Current task: diagnosis is done and a fix proposed. Next action: get your go-ahead to implement option A (hold the read lock across Fire's dispatch loop). (disable recaps in /config)

> Will option A break existing code? Can it introduced multithreading-specific  
  problems such as deadlocks?                                                   

● Good question. Option A has real risks that depend on how it's implemented.
  Let me lay them out.

  Risks if implemented naively

  Holding FLock.BeginRead over the entire dispatch loop introduces three
  deadlock hazards:

  1. Recursive lock acquisition on SRWLock. TLightweightMREW wraps Windows
  SRWLock, which is not recursive — same thread calling BeginRead twice is
  documented as undefined behavior, and reliably deadlocks if any other thread
  is waiting on BeginWrite. Currently Fire calls GetThreadState which itself
  does BeginRead. So the inlining isn't optional — it's required for
  correctness.
  2. Same-thread synchronous handlers run under the lock. Look at line 723–725:
  if sub.ThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId then
    TEventHandler<T>(sub.Handler)(eventData);
  2. With the lock held, if any such handler calls Fire (BeginRead), Subscribe
  (BeginRead + maybe BeginWrite), UnsubscribeAll (BeginWrite), or
  UnregisterThread (BeginWrite) on the same bus — deadlock.
  3. PushItem holding the lock. TThreadedQueue.PushItem has a 100 ms
  PushTimeout. If the queue is full, the read lock is held for up to 100 ms.
  That delays any UnregisterThread / Subscribe call on another thread. Annoying
  but bounded.

  Risks NOT introduced

  - Main-thread handlers use TThread.Queue — asynchronous, so the lock is
  released before the handler runs. No new risk.
  - Background handlers run via QueueUserAPC on the subscriber thread, not under
   the firing thread's lock. No new risk.
  - Producer–consumer deadlock (worker blocked on PushItem while
  UnregisterThread waits): doesn't form a cycle. PushItem times out at 100 ms,
  dispatch fails (the well-known minor weakness already documented in
  DispatchProof.md), lock releases, UnregisterThread proceeds.

  Mitigation

  Risk 1 is mandatory to fix — inline the FThreadStates lookup directly in Fire
  (4 lines).

  Risk 2 is the actual breaking concern. The clean mitigation is to collect 
  same-thread subs into a small local list during the locked loop and invoke 
  them after EndRead:

  FLock.BeginRead;
  try
    if not FSubscriptions.TryGetValue(typeInfo, list) then Exit;
    subscriptions := list.GetActiveSubscriptions;

    for sub in subscriptions do begin
      if sub.ThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId then
        Continue;  // defer
      if sub.ThreadID = MainThreadID then
        DispatchToMainThread(MakeCallback<T>(...))
      else begin
        if FThreadStates.TryGetValue(sub.ThreadID, state) then begin
          state.AddRef;
          try DispatchToBackgroundThread(state, MakeCallback<T>(...));
          finally state.Release; end;
        end;
      end;
    end;
  finally FLock.EndRead; end;

  // same-thread handlers OUTSIDE the lock, in subscription order
  for sub in subscriptions do
    if sub.ThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId then
      TEventHandler<T>(sub.Handler)(eventData);

  After this, no handler runs under the lock — only the dispatch plumbing does —
   so handler code can call back into the bus freely, exactly as today.

  Behavioral changes

  - Subscription order across types: preserved within each group (same-thread
  vs. other-thread), but all same-thread handlers now run after all other
  dispatches. The current code intermixes them in registration order. If any
  caller relies on "same-thread handler observable to the firer before an async
  dispatch is queued," that's a behavior change. GpEventBus.md doesn't document
  an ordering guarantee, so the risk is low — but worth grepping subscribers.
  - UnregisterThread/Subscribe/UnsubscribeAll latency: up to ~100 ms under heavy
   load with a full queue. Same path that the dispatch proof already calls out
  as a minor weakness.
  - In the codebase at hand (TTSReceiverClient subscribes on a worker thread;
  producers fire from ICS/HTTP threads — different threads), the same-thread
  case doesn't even fire, so the behavioral change is moot.

  Want me to implement this and update GpEventBus.md (history + a note on
  dispatch ordering)? I'd also add a unit test for the race if one of the
  existing tests covers shutdown sequencing.

         +andler does not run before an `Fire` call's cross-thread dispat
         +ches have been queued.

      18  ## Overview
      19  
      20  `GpEventBus` is a thread-safe event bus for Delphi that enables
           type-safe, cross-thread event dispatch. It uses **QueueUserAPC
          ** for efficient background thread dispatch and **TThread.Queue
          ** for main thread dispatch.

● All 18 tests pass with my fix. Let me look at one more thing — whether the
  residual stress-test leak could be from a different scenario. Let me check if
  there's a path where state gets removed from FThreadStates without being fully
   released:

● Let me also add a defensive drain to DetectAndRemoveDeadThreads — currently it
   removes states without draining their queues, which orphans queued items if a
   state was leaked:

● Compiles clean, all 18 existing tests pass with zero leaks.

  Summary

  Two changes in x:\gp\common\GpEventBus.pas (bumped to v1.05):

  1. TEventBus.Fire<T> now holds the read lock for the entire cross-thread
  dispatch loop, blocking UnregisterThread's BeginWrite until in-flight
  dispatches complete. Same-thread synchronous handlers are deferred to after
  EndRead so they can freely call back into the bus without deadlocking on the
  non-recursive SRWLock. The inline FThreadStates.TryGetValue replaces
  GetThreadState (which would re-enter the read lock).
  2. TEventBus.DetectAndRemoveDeadThreads now drains each dead thread's
  EventQueue before releasing the bus's ref. Defense in depth: even if a state
  survives the Release because of a never-firing APC AddRef, the captured event
  records (TGpBuffer, etc.) are released.

  Verified:
  - Clean compile.
  - All 18 existing DUnit tests pass with zero leaks, including the v1.04
  regression test TestNoLeakOnSubscriberExitWithPendingAPCs and the stress tests
   (TestStressAPCQueueing, TestMultipleWorkersSimultaneousDispatch).
  - A stress test I wrote (not committed) showed the change reduces leak count
  under pathological producer/subscriber churn from ~9700 sentinels to ~1024 — a
   separate, less acute leak that we can investigate next.

  Updated: GpEventBus.md with new version, last-modified date, and a "Dispatch
  Order" section documenting the same-thread-runs-after-cross-thread behavior.

  Behavioral changes worth flagging to callers:
  - Same-thread synchronous handlers now run after all cross-thread dispatches
  in the same Fire call (documented in GpEventBus.md).
  - UnregisterThread/Subscribe/UnsubscribeAll can now block for up to ~100 ms
  under heavy producer load while Fire holds the read lock (PushItem timeout).

  For the sttwin.exe production leak you reported, the single-closure pattern
  (one MakeCallback$ActRec plus its captured TGpBuffer) is exactly the case fix
  #1 closes. The defensive drain in fix #2 catches the same data even if some
  other path orphans a state.
