Addresses code review feedback from PR #44: consciousness bootstrap was executing twice on startup, and demo imports violated Python conventions.

Duplicate Bootstrap Prevention

Added guard to check bootstrap_complete flag before bootstrapping, preventing duplicate execution:

# backend/unified_server.py
ce = cognitive_manager.consciousness_engine
bootstrap_done = False
if (hasattr(ce, 'current_state') and 
    hasattr(ce.current_state, 'phenomenal_experience') and 
    ce.current_state.phenomenal_experience):
    bootstrap_done = ce.current_state.phenomenal_experience.get('bootstrap_complete', False)

if not bootstrap_done:
    await ce.bootstrap_consciousness()

Removed duplicate bootstrap call from unified consciousness engine initialization (previously at lines 481-497).

Import Organization

Moved 6 backend imports from function scope to module level in demo_consciousness.py:

  • ConsciousnessEngine
  • UnifiedConsciousnessEngine (2 occurrences)
  • GoalManagementSystem
  • MetaCognitiveMonitor
  • KnowledgeGraphEvolution

Net: -12 LOC, eliminates race condition risk, follows Python conventions.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a critical issue where consciousness bootstrap was executing twice during system startup, creating potential race conditions. It also reorganizes imports in the demo file to follow Python conventions by moving them from function scope to module level.

  • Adds a guard check using the bootstrap_complete flag to prevent duplicate consciousness bootstrap calls
  • Removes the redundant bootstrap logic from unified consciousness engine initialization (lines 481-497)
  • Moves 5 backend class imports from function scope to module level in demo_consciousness.py

The nested hasattr checks could fail if phenomenal_experience is not a dictionary. Consider adding a type check or restructuring the guard to be more defensive. For example, if (hasattr(ce, 'current_state') and hasattr(ce.current_state, 'phenomenal_experience') and isinstance(ce.current_state.phenomenal_experience, dict)) would prevent potential AttributeError if phenomenal_experience is None or another non-dict type.

Suggested change
ce.current_state.phenomenal_experience):
isinstance(ce.current_state.phenomenal_experience, dict)):

[nitpick] The log message uses a semicolon where a comma or dash would be more conventional. Consider changing to "Consciousness engine bootstrap already completed, skipping duplicate call" or "Consciousness engine bootstrap already completed - skipping duplicate call" for better readability.

Suggested change
logger.info("🟡 Consciousness engine bootstrap already completed; skipping duplicate call.")
logger.info("🟡 Consciousness engine bootstrap already completed, skipping duplicate call.")
