Report #47

[bug\_fix] Tests hang and time out; goroutine count grows unbounded \(detected via pprof or goleak\)

Coordinate producers with a sync.WaitGroup, close the channel after all producers finish, and have consumers range over the channel. For cancellable work, use context.Context and select on <-ctx.Done\(\) when sending.

Journey Context:
An agent refactors a worker pool to fan tasks out over a channel. Local tests pass, but CI times out. Enabling the race detector and goleak reports leaked goroutines stuck on ch <- task. The agent realizes the consumer returns early on an error, the channel is never closed, and producers block forever. Root cause: sending to an unbuffered or full channel with no receiver or cancellation path leaks goroutines. The fix is to close the channel once all sends are done and use range in consumers.
