Fix race condition in FileStorage dequeue#19
Merged
Conversation
Use atomic rename() instead of read+write+unlink to prevent duplicate job processing when multiple workers try to claim the same job. The previous implementation had a TOCTOU race: 1. Worker A reads the file 2. Worker B reads the same file 3. Worker A writes to processing dir and deletes original 4. Worker B already has the data, writes to its processing dir Now rename() ensures only one worker can claim each job, as it's atomic on the same filesystem.

Summary
rename()instead ofread()+writeFileAtomic()+unlink()Problem
The previous implementation had a race condition:
Both workers end up with the same job in their processing queues.
Solution
rename()is atomic on the same filesystem, so only one worker can successfully move the file.Test plan
