The Truthiness algorithm accumulates statistics in mutable member variables from a const process() method, creating race conditions when called concurrently from multiple threads.

Changes

  • m_event_count: Changed from uint64_t to std::atomic<uint64_t> for lock-free atomic operations
  • m_stats_mutex: Added mutex to protect m_average_truthiness updates during the online average calculation
  • Accessors: getAverageTruthiness() now locks, getEventCount() uses atomic .load()
// In process()
{
  std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(m_stats_mutex);
  m_event_count++;
  m_average_truthiness += (truthiness - m_average_truthiness) / m_event_count;
}

Pattern follows existing thread-safe implementations in the codebase (e.g., UniqueIDGenSvc).
