#10281: fix(infra): clear seqByRun entry when agent run context is cleared
stale
Cluster:
Memory Leak Fixes and Cleanup
## Problem
The `seqByRun` Map in `agent-events.ts` tracks event sequence numbers per `runId`, but entries are never cleaned up:
```typescript
const seqByRun = new Map<string, number>();
const runContextById = new Map<string, AgentRunContext>();
export function clearAgentRunContext(runId: string) {
runContextById.delete(runId); // ✓ Cleaned
// seqByRun is NOT cleaned!
}
```
In long-running gateway processes, `seqByRun` grows unbounded as agent runs complete, causing a memory leak.
## Impact
- Each completed agent run leaves behind a `runId -> number` entry (~50-100 bytes)
- Over time, thousands of completed runs accumulate
- Gateway memory usage grows continuously without bound
## Solution
Clear the `seqByRun` entry alongside `runContextById` in `clearAgentRunContext`:
```typescript
export function clearAgentRunContext(runId: string) {
runContextById.delete(runId);
seqByRun.delete(runId); // Add this line
}
```
## Notes
- This is a one-line fix with no behavioral change
- Sequence numbers are only meaningful during an active run
- Once a run ends, the sequence counter is no longer needed

<h2>Greptile Overview</h2>
<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>
- Updates `src/infra/agent-events.ts` to clean up per-run sequence tracking (`seqByRun`) when clearing an agent run context.
- Intended to prevent unbounded growth of `seqByRun` in long-running gateway processes.
- Current diff appears to accidentally replace `getAgentRunContext` and introduce a duplicate `clearAgentRunContext` export, which will break compilation and/or callers.
<h3>Confidence Score: 2/5</h3>
- This PR should not be merged as-is because it introduces compile-time breakages in agent-events exports.
- The change meant to delete `seqByRun` entries also (1) creates a duplicate exported `clearAgentRunContext` function and (2) removes/replaces `getAgentRunContext`, which will break existing imports/usages. These are definite failures that need fixing before merge.
