fix: Fixed the bug where the bus was closed and consumers had unfinished messages. (#1179)

* fix: Fixed the bug where the bus was closed and consumers had unfinished messages.

* fix: remove unnecessary blank line in Close method

* fix: refactor message bus and channel handling for improved performance and reliability

* fix: improve message handling and bus closure logic for better reliability

* fix: reduce sleep duration in agent loop for improved responsiveness

* fix the test case
