Summary of Changes

Hello @fatelei, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request implements a robust distributed locking mechanism using Redis to safeguard the critical process of initializing Python virtual environments for local plugins. By preventing concurrent modifications to these environments across different instances or pods, the changes significantly enhance the stability and integrity of plugin deployments, resolving potential race conditions and ensuring consistent setup.

Highlights

• Distributed Locking for Python Environments: Introduced a Redis-based distributed locking mechanism to prevent race conditions during the initialization of Python virtual environments for local plugins.
• Enhanced Environment Stability: The distributed lock ensures that only one process or pod can create or modify a specific Python virtual environment at a time, improving the reliability and consistency of plugin setups.
• New Redis Lock Utilities: Added Lock and Unlock functions within the pkg/utils/cache package to manage distributed locks.
• Comprehensive Testing: Included a new test file (pkg/utils/cache/redis_lock_test.go) utilizing miniredis to thoroughly validate the distributed lock's exclusive acquisition and timeout behavior.
