Adds GPU/CPU frame-timing instrumentation to @ifc-lite/renderer, and clears the two repo gates the work tripped.

Gate failures fixed

Both were confirmed branch-caused by running each gate against main first — main is clean for both, so neither is pre-existing.

check-api-surface.mjs (exit 1) — 16 new public exports were not in scripts/api-surface.json. Before regenerating, I checked whether all 16 were intended public API rather than a barrel leak, because adding an export to that snapshot is a semver commitment and the gate exists to make it explicit. They are: every one is an explicit named re-export in packages/renderer/src/index.ts:89-96, with no export * involved. The decisive evidence that the list was curated rather than swept is that frame-timing-gpu.ts also exports queryBufferSizeBytes, allocatePassQueryIndices and pairTimestampsWithLabels — extracted purely to be unit-testable — and the author deliberately left all three out of the barrel. A wildcard leak would have carried them along.

Regenerated with pnpm api-surface:update, never by hand. Diff is 16 insertions, 0 deletions, 4191 → 4207 exports — nothing silently dropped.

check-unused-locals.mjs (exit 1)frame-timing-gpu.ts:133, private readonly device: GPUDevice declared but never read (TS6133), surfacing as +1 in three baselines.

I did not delete it reflexively. GPU timestamp queries do need the device — and it is used, in the static create() factory where device is a parameter in scope: device.createQuerySet and the two createBuffer calls for the resolve and readback buffers. Those three resources are stored as fields and, per the class doc, sized once and never reallocated. Walking every instance method: beginPass uses the stored querySet and a pure helper; endFrame uses the caller's encoder; readback maps readbackBuffer (mapAsync already waits for pending work on that buffer per spec, so no missing onSubmittedWorkDone); destroy calls .destroy() on the three resources directly. The queue submit is explicitly the caller's responsibility. So the field is genuinely dead — removed, along with the constructor parameter and assignment.

No behaviour changed: the constructor is private, so the signature change is unobservable outside the class. No suppression, no _ rename, no baseline raised.

After, verified by running (full pnpm build before each gate)

  • check-api-surface.mjs✅ 4207 exports, exit 0
  • check-unused-locals.mjs✅ No new unused locals (50 packages, 956 known, none increased), exit 0
  • pnpm --filter @ifc-lite/renderer test1009 passed / 0 failed, 205 suites
  • pnpm --filter @ifc-lite/renderer typecheck → OK (81 test files)
  • cargo-side untouched; workspace clippy and pnpm typecheck both pass on this branch

A methodology note worth recording: a filtered build leaves a previous branch's dist in place and gives both of these gates a confident wrong answer. Run a full pnpm build after any branch switch before trusting them.

No second changeset — the exports are introduced by this branch's own feature commit and already described by .changeset/renderer-frame-timing.md. Adding another would claim a change that did not happen.

…erf gate)

The renderer has no per-frame or per-pass GPU cost measurement, which is
what the maintainer gated the sun-shadow work on: "This is a perf-sensitive
path that needs an end-to-end verdict before it can land." tests/benchmark
measures load/streaming KPIs, not per-frame GPU cost.

Adds:
- frame-timing-stats.ts: pure DurationStats (min/median/p95/max/mean) with
  an explicit empty-sample shape, and nsToMs. p95/max are the intended
  headline stats — mean hides the stutter a perf verdict cares about.
- frame-timing.ts: pure mode decision (GPU queries vs CPU fallback vs off)
  and multi-frame/multi-pass aggregation.
- frame-timing-cpu.ts: CPU-side frame-delta fallback for when the adapter
  lacks 'timestamp-query'; injected clock, fully synthetic-testable.
- frame-timing-gpu.ts: thin GPUQuerySet/timestampWrites/resolve/readback
  wrapper — the only part that cannot be exercised without a
  'timestamp-query'-capable WebGPU adapter (absent in this environment).
- device.ts: requests 'timestamp-query' only when the adapter already
  advertises it, exposes hasTimestampQueryFeature().
- index.ts: exports the new opt-in API. Nothing is wired on by default.

RED/GREEN + a mutation run (broke the percentile off-by-one, confirmed 2
tests catch it, restored, diffed byte-identical) verify the pure layer.
The GPU-facing wrapper has no test file and is unverified here by design.

Producing an actual #2670 perf verdict still needs: a WebGPU-capable test
harness with 'timestamp-query', a representative model, and a defined
shadows-off-vs-on comparison at a stated shadow-map resolution.
nsToMs did not guard against endNs < startNs, which the module's own docs
call out as reachable ("GPU timestamps are not guaranteed monotonic across
a device reset"). One corrupted sample could drag min/mean into a
physically impossible negative reading, contradicting the module's own
EMPTY_STATS philosophy of never reporting a number it cannot stand behind.

nsToMs now clamps a negative delta to 0 — the guard sits there rather than
in computeDurationStats, because frameTotalMs/passDurationsMs sum nsToMs's
output directly without ever routing through computeDurationStats, so a
guard placed only downstream would miss that summation path entirely.
isNegativeDelta is exported alongside nsToMs so a caller can detect the
clamp instead of it silently reading as an ordinary fast frame;
aggregateFrameTimings surfaces this as FrameTimingReport.invalidSampleCount.

Also extracts the parts of frame-timing-gpu.ts decidable without a live
WebGPU device — query-index allocation, buffer-size arithmetic, and the
readback timestamp/label pairing — into pure, unit-tested functions
(queryBufferSizeBytes, allocatePassQueryIndices, pairTimestampsWithLabels),
plus tests for the previously-untested hasTimestampQueryFeature. Only
GpuFrameTimingRecorder's actual WebGPU calls remain unverified here.
…mps buffer

pairTimestampsWithLabels had no bounds/parity check between labels.length
and timestamps.length. Not reachable through GpuFrameTimingRecorder.readback()
today (it sizes the readback slice from the same cursor beginPass pushed
each label against), but the function is exported to be called standalone,
and a short buffer produced a sample with an undefined startNs/endNs where
the type says bigint: summing it in frameTotalMs either threw a TypeError
mixing BigInt and undefined (one element short), or silently computed NaN
(two elements short) — two different failure shapes for the same input
error, neither matching this module's "never throws, never fabricates"
contract.

A label whose (start, end) pair does not fully fit in timestamps is now
dropped rather than pushed with a missing field. The exact-length case
(what the shipped recorder always produces) is unaffected — same output as
before.

Amends the branch's existing renderer-frame-timing changeset rather than
adding a second entry, since this belongs to the same unreleased feature.
…r's unused device field

Two gates that pass on main fail on this branch.

`check-api-surface` — the 16 frame-timing symbols this branch adds to
`packages/renderer`'s barrel were never recorded in
`scripts/api-surface.json`. All 16 are explicit named re-exports in
`index.ts`, not wildcard leakage: `queryBufferSizeBytes`,
`allocatePassQueryIndices` and `pairTimestampsWithLabels` are exported
from their module for direct unit testing and deliberately left out of
the barrel, so the public list was curated rather than swept. Snapshot
regenerated with `pnpm api-surface:update`; the diff is 16 additions and
no removals.

`check-unused-locals` — `GpuFrameTimingRecorder.device` was declared,
assigned, and never read (TS6133, surfacing in the apps/viewer,
apps/viewer-embed and packages/renderer baselines). It is genuinely
dead, not a latent bug: every device call the recorder needs happens in
the static `create()`, where `device` is a parameter in scope — the
query set and both buffers are allocated there and stored as fields, and
the class documents that it never reallocates them. No instance method
has anything left to ask the device for: `endFrame` uses the caller's
encoder, `readback` maps the readback buffer (`mapAsync` already waits
on pending GPU work per spec), `destroy` destroys the three resources
directly, and the queue submit is the caller's, per the module doc. The
field and its constructor parameter are removed; the constructor is
private, so nothing outside the class can observe the signature change.
No public export and no runtime behaviour changes, so the branch's
existing changeset still describes this package accurately.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1b387

This PR adds frame-timing APIs and GPU readback state, but the current implementation can produce incorrect timing data or WebGPU validation failures when labels use reserved names or when readback overlaps with the next frame; smaller input-validation and result-mutation issues also remain. It is not merge-ready until the runtime correctness issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

I’m a rabbit with timestamps bright,
Measuring passes from left to right.
GPU hops or CPU feet,
Stats grow neat with every beat.

The CodeRabbit check on this PR is a false pass. Its only comment is a "Review limit reached" notice — the org is rate-limited to ~1 review/hour and a rate-limited review still renders green — with zero inline comments. No review happened.

That matters more here than on a small PR: 13 files, +1226, landing in the published @ifc-lite/renderer.

So I ran the CLI locally against your merge-base (bc179f6a1). It read all 13 files and found 3 findings, one Major. Verified the Major against your code myself rather than relaying it.

Major — frame-timing-gpu.ts:205-220: the recorder is reused before its readback completes

readback() reads this.labels and this.nextQueryIndex after await mapAsync(...):

async readback(): Promise<PassTimingSample[] | null> {
  if (!this.resolved) return null;
  await this.readbackBuffer.mapAsync(GPUMapMode.READ);
  const raw = this.readbackBuffer.getMappedRange(0, this.nextQueryIndex * BYTES_PER_TIMESTAMP);
  ...
  return pairTimestampsWithLabels(this.labels, timestamps);
}

and beginFrame() resets exactly those fields:

beginFrame(): void {
  this.labels = [];
  this.nextQueryIndex = 0;
  this.resolved = false;
}

If the next frame starts while a readback is still suspended at the await, the resumed readback reads the next frame's nextQueryIndex and pairs the bytes against the next frame's labels. WebGPU may also reject use of the buffer while a map is pending. I grepped the file for inFlight|pending|isReading|busy — there is no coordination of any kind.

The part I would want you to look at is the doc comment. The class header already names this hazard:

One instance is good for one frame's worth of passes up to maxPasses, then must be recreated (or reset via beginFrame()) for the next — this keeps the query-set/readback-buffer lifetime unambiguous rather than trying to make it silently reusable across frames while a previous frame's readback might still be pending.

So the hazard was identified, and then beginFrame() is offered as an equivalent to recreation — while beginFrame() is precisely the operation that reintroduces it. Recreation is safe because it allocates fresh buffers; the reset shares them. The comment argues for the safety that the alternative it offers does not have.

Fix directions from the review: block beginFrame() until the pending readback resolves, or use per-frame ring-buffer resources with immutable frame snapshots.

No test covers this. grep -nE "beginFrame|readback" frame-timing-gpu.test.ts returns one hit, and it is about pairTimestampsWithLabels being called standalone. GpuFrameTimingRecorder is never driven across overlapping frames, so the suite cannot observe the interleaving.

Minor — frame-timing.ts:81-87: prototype collisions in caller labels

label is caller-chosen and used as a plain object key, so "__proto__", "constructor" or "toString" collide with inherited properties — the label is dropped or the total comes back non-numeric, which then corrupts aggregateFrameTimings() downstream. Accumulate in a Map and materialise own properties for the returned record.

Minor — frame-timing-stats.ts:135-136: shared mutable empty object

return EMPTY_STATS hands out the module-level object, so one caller mutating an empty result corrupts every future empty report. One-character fix:

-  if (durationsMs.length === 0) return EMPTY_STATS;
+  if (durationsMs.length === 0) return { ...EMPTY_STATS };

Nothing here is a reason to stop — the change is well-tested elsewhere and the api-surface entry is correctly updated. But it should not merge on a green tick that represents no review, and the Major is a real data-integrity bug in a published package.

The CodeRabbit check on this PR is a false green, and the CLI could not substitute for it

The hosted CodeRabbit check renders as pass, but it never reviewed this PR. Its comment on
this thread is the "Review limit reached" warning under the Fair Usage policy, so no code was
looked at. A rate-limited CodeRabbit still reports the check as passing.

I tried to cover the gap with a local coderabbit review --base origin/main against head
0fe7904994d4808c77c5b623be3fd9b9ad602529. It failed twice with Error: Rate limit exceeded
(the org has hit its usage cap), exit 1 both times, with zero files analysed. I waited out a full
reset window between the attempts and stopped there rather than burning more.

So the automated review status of this PR is UNKNOWN, not clean. Nothing here should be read
as "CodeRabbit found nothing". It did not look.

What follows is hand review of the diff, not a CLI result.


Live: GpuFrameTimingRecorder has no coordination between readback() and beginFrame()

packages/renderer/src/frame-timing-gpu.ts:205-213 and :216-220.

readback() awaits mapAsync at line 207, then reads this.nextQueryIndex at line 208 and
this.labels at line 212. Both are instance fields that beginFrame() resets. Nothing guards the
gap.

Concrete failure. A caller that samples intermittently, which is exactly the pattern the module
doc at lines 37 to 41 recommends, does this:

recorder.endFrame(encoder);
device.queue.submit([encoder.finish()]);
const pending = recorder.readback();   // not awaited, it is a frame boundary
// ... next frame starts ...
recorder.beginFrame();                 // labels = [], nextQueryIndex = 0
const samples = await pending;         // []

getMappedRange(0, 0) returns an empty range and pairTimestampsWithLabels([], ...) returns [].
The caller gets an empty sample array, which reads as "a frame with no passes", not as "your
measurement was destroyed". Absence looks identical to a successful measurement of nothing.

Second consequence on the same path: endFrame() at line 193 does
copyBufferToBuffer(..., this.readbackBuffer, ...) into a buffer whose mapAsync is still
pending, and line 207 can call mapAsync on an already-pending buffer. Per the WebGPU spec both
are errors on a real adapter.

Two things worth being precise about:

  1. Nothing in this repo constructs GpuFrameTimingRecorder today. That is a fact about
    today's callers, not a property of the code. The class is exported from
    packages/renderer/src/index.ts:96 and recorded in scripts/api-surface.json:3799, so it is
    public API of @ifc-lite/renderer. Any consumer of the package can construct it now, and the
    first in-repo caller will hit this.

  2. The class has no test coverage at all. frame-timing-gpu.test.ts covers only the three
    pure helpers (hasTimestampQueryFeature, queryBufferSizeBytes, allocatePassQueryIndices,
    pairTimestampsWithLabels). There is not one test that instantiates the recorder. The module
    doc at lines 13 to 15 gives the reason (a mock GPUDevice would only prove the mock is
    self-consistent), and that reason is fair for the WebGPU calls. It does not cover this
    defect: the readback / beginFrame ordering is plain field bookkeeping and is decidable
    without a GPU, the same argument the file already makes for extracting
    allocatePassQueryIndices and pairTimestampsWithLabels.

The class doc at lines 127 to 130 claims the design "keeps the query-set/readback-buffer lifetime
unambiguous rather than trying to make it silently reusable across frames while a previous
frame's readback might still be pending". beginFrame() is exactly that silent reuse. The comment
is a claim the code does not hold up.

A generation counter captured at endFrame() and re-checked after the await, with readback()
returning null on a mismatch, would make the destroyed case distinguishable from the empty case.

Proof level, stated honestly: this is read from the source, not executed. navigator.gpu is
absent in this environment, as the module doc itself notes, so I did not run it on a
timestamp-query adapter. The field-reset race is visible at file:line; the WebGPU validation
consequences are spec reading, not a reproduction.

The rest of the diff

device.ts:113-124 only adds 'timestamp-query' to requiredFeatures when
adapter.features.has(...) already reports it, and hasTimestampQueryFeature() at :293 reads
back off this.device.features rather than the adapter, so the existing requestDevice fallback
path cannot report a feature that was not granted. That reads correct.

Two gaps found while verifying a sibling branch, both of which belong here rather than there.

Context: renderer-timing-pairing-guard turned out to be a strict git ancestor of this PR — 590add40b is 0fe790499's direct parent, and git diff between them is one-directional (+16 lines of api-surface.json, -4/+2 in frame-timing-gpu.ts). So it has zero additive content and should not be raised separately. But its two open findings survive into this PR.

1. The device.ts change has no test. Reverse-applying the whole hunk — the timestamp-query feature request and the new public hasTimestampQueryFeature() — leaves the renderer suite at 1027 pass / 0 fail. Nothing observes either.

To be clear about a hazard that does not apply, since I raised it and was wrong: the request is not unconditional. It is

const requiredFeatures: GPUFeatureName[] = [];
if (this.adapter.features?.has('timestamp-query')) { requiredFeatures.push('timestamp-query'); }

gated on the adapter already advertising the feature, with a comment saying why, and requestDevice() keeps its pre-existing catch fallback. So it cannot make requestDevice fail on an adapter lacking the feature. The gap is coverage, not correctness.

2. A half-disclosed reachability claim in the changeset. It says pairTimestampsWithLabels "is exported to be called standalone" — it is a module-level export only, absent from the package's public surface (and from the 16-export drift list), so the guard it adds is unreachable through any published API. The changeset does admit it is "not reachable through GpuFrameTimingRecorder.readback() today", so this is half-disclosed rather than a flat overclaim — but the "exported to be called standalone" half reads as a reachability justification it does not have.

Neither blocks the api-surface or unused-locals fixes already on this branch; both are worth closing before merge.

… cursor

Every existing case feeds an EVEN cursor, because that is all `beginPass`
can produce. On even cursors `nextQueryIndex + 1 >= maxPasses * 2` and
`nextQueryIndex >= maxPasses * 2` are the same predicate, so the guard's
`+ 1` was unobservable: deleting it left all 53 frame-timing tests green
(verified by running).

The function is exported so it can be driven with synthetic cursors, and an
odd cursor is where the two differ. `allocatePassQueryIndices(15, 8)` must
be exhaustion — a BEGIN at 15 with its END at 16 against a count-16 query
set is a WebGPU validation error, not a truncated measurement. Paired with
cursor 13, which still has room for both, so the assertion pins the
boundary rather than merely refusing odd cursors.

RED against the `+ 1` deleted, GREEN as written.

154-168: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reject non-integer and negative maxPasses values before resource allocation.

WebGPU permits zero query counts and buffer sizes, so zero is not a WebGPU validation error. However, maxPasses = 1.5 allocates three query slots while beginPass() consumes only two. Validate maxPasses as a non-negative integer after the unsupported-feature check and before device.createQuerySet(). Add boundary tests that confirm invalid values fail before any GPU resource call.

Proposed fix

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

In the WebGPU specification, can a GPUBuffer with a pending GPUBuffer.mapAsync() operation be used as the destination of copyBufferToBuffer before it is unmapped?

💡 Result:

No, a GPUBuffer cannot be used as a destination for a copyBufferToBuffer operation if it has a pending (or active) mapAsync operation [1]. In the WebGPU specification, when a buffer is mapped, it is unavailable for use in any GPU commands [1]. The WebGPU API enforces strict rules regarding buffer states: 1. Mapping Restriction: While a GPUBuffer is mapped—or while a mapAsync operation is pending—it cannot be used as part of GPU-side operations such as copyBufferToBuffer [1]. 2. Synchronization: The mapAsync method is asynchronous and returns a promise that resolves only when the buffer is ready to be accessed on the Content timeline (i.e., by JavaScript) [2][1]. The buffer remains effectively "mapped" (and thus unusable for GPU commands) until the unmap method is explicitly called [1][3]. 3. Validation: If you attempt to encode a copyBufferToBuffer command using a buffer that is currently mapped or in a state incompatible with GPU usage, the command encoder will generate a validation error [2]. To use the buffer for a copy operation, you must first ensure it is unmapped by calling GPUBuffer.unmap [1][3]. Once unmapped, the buffer becomes available for GPU operations again, provided it was created with the appropriate usage flags (e.g., GPUBufferUsage.COPY_DST) [4][5].

Prevent frame reset and buffer reuse while readback is pending.

readback() reads this.nextQueryIndex and this.labels after mapAsync() resolves. beginFrame() can reset them first, which can pair old GPU data with new labels or return an empty report. endFrame() can also reuse readbackBuffer while its map is pending, causing WebGPU validation failure. Block reset and reuse until unmap() completes, or use per-frame resources. Add a controlled pending-mapAsync() test.

…buffer limits

`WebGPUDevice.init()` shared one try/catch between two asks of very different
weight. `requiredLimits` raises maxBufferSize/maxStorageBufferBindingSize to
what the adapter advertises — without it a large model's vertex buffer exceeds
the 256 MiB default, the buffer is invalid, and nothing renders.
`requiredFeatures` asks for 'timestamp-query', a purely opt-in diagnostic that
does nothing unless a caller constructs a GpuFrameTimingRecorder. Before this
branch only the limits could cause a rejection, and the single fallback gave up
exactly that; adding the feature to the same request meant a feature-caused
rejection now silently surrendered the limits too.

Degrade one ask at a time instead: full request, then limits-only, then the
bare requestDevice() last resort (still reachable — that is the path for
drivers that reject limits they nominally advertise). Each degradation is
logged rather than silent. The limits-only retry is skipped when no feature was
requested, where it would be identical to the request that just failed.

Also in this branch's new code:

- passDurationsMs and aggregateFrameTimings' report.passes accumulate into
  null-prototype maps. Labels are caller-chosen free text used directly as
  keys, so on a plain literal a '__proto__' label was silently dropped (the
  assignment hit the prototype setter, no own property) and a 'constructor'
  label read the inherited Object function as its running total and
  string-concatenated instead of summing.
- computeDurationStats([])'s EMPTY_STATS is frozen. It is handed back by
  reference to every caller, so one in-place edit would have rewritten what
  every later empty result reported.

Tested both directions against a stubbed adapter: one accepting everything
still receives both asks in one call; one rejecting the feature still ends up
with the limits, not a default device. This also gives device.ts's
requiredFeatures request — the only non-opt-in part of the branch — its first
coverage, including that hasTimestampQueryFeature() reports what the DEVICE
granted rather than what the adapter advertised.

The pre-existing deepStrictEqual expectations for passDurationsMs are now built
null-prototype too; deepStrictEqual compares prototypes, so this keeps the
comparison exactly as strict and additionally pins the prototype.

Self-review found four issues, all fixed and all tested — none had to ship untested. Pushed 7eda4a061.

1. An opt-in diagnostic could have cost a user their render

device.ts:120-131 — the new requiredFeatures shared one try with the pre-existing requiredLimits, so a rejection caused by the feature also silently gave up maxBufferSize and maxStorageBufferBindingSize. That is the raise whose own comment says a large IFC's vertex buffer "fails with Buffer size … exceeds the max buffer size limit, the buffer is invalid, and nothing renders."

I reported this as untestable here. That was wrongdevice-adapter-info.test.ts already drives the real init() against a hand-stubbed navigator.gpu under node, so the same shape works with a recording adapter that rejects per descriptor.

RED, verbatim, with the collapsed single try restored:

not ok 1 - retries with the limits ALONE and keeps them, rather than dropping to a bare device
  + actual   undefined
  - expected { maxBufferSize: 1073741824, maxStorageBufferBindingSize: 536870912 }

not ok 1 - is still reached when even the limits-only request is rejected
  full request, limits-only retry, then bare
  2 !== 3

The first is the defect exactly: the retry descriptor was undefined — the limits were gone.

Now a staged fallback, with all four directions pinned: accepts-everything gets one call carrying both limits and the feature; rejects-features gets a second call carrying the limits with requiredFeatures === undefined, the feature-drop warning firing and the limits-lost warning not; rejects-everything still reaches the bare call; and no-feature-requested skips the limits-only retry, because it would be byte-identical to the request that just failed — so that case degrades exactly as it did before the feature existed.

Worst case if the staging is wrong, bounded: reachable outcomes go from {limits+features} or {} to {limits+features}, {limits}, or {} — a strict superset, every added outcome strictly better than the bare device it replaces. No outcome is removed, so nothing can end up worse than before. The only new cost is one extra requestDevice() on an already-failing path.

One caveat I deliberately did not write into the code as a claim: per spec an adapter is consumed by requestDevice() regardless of outcome, so a retry could return an already-lost device. That was equally true of the pre-existing bare fallback, which demonstrably works in practice — so it is not a new assumption, but it is an assumption.

2. The one non-opt-in part of this PR now has coverage

Every WebGPU device requests timestamp-query where advertised, and that path had none. Covered by the same file, mutation-tested: deleting the requiredFeatures.push fails 3 of 7. It also pins that hasTimestampQueryFeature() reports what the device granted, not what the adapter advertised — a function previously called nowhere in the repo.

3. Prototype pollution — and the same shape a second time in the same file

passDurationsMs accumulated into a plain object literal, so a pass labelled __proto__ or constructor misbehaved. RED:

not ok 2 - + [Object: null prototype] {}   - 3.4
not ok 3 - 'function Object() { [native code] }2'   - 2

Grepping for the same shape found a second instance: aggregateFrameTimings's report.passes is a separate accumulator with the identical defect — passes['__proto__'] = stats assigns the prototype and creates no own key, so the label vanishes even once passDurationsMs is fixed. Both are Object.create(null) now, each with its own test.

Consumer check before changing the prototype: the only consumers are an Object.entries() walk and JSON.stringify, both fine. But assert.deepStrictEqual does compare prototypes, so three pre-existing expectations broke. I did not weaken them — a bareMap() helper builds the expectation the same way, keeping the comparison exactly as strict and additionally pinning the prototype.

4. EMPTY_STATS was shared and mutable

Returned by reference, unfrozen, so one caller mutating it poisoned every later empty result. Frozen, with tests for writes, added fields and deletes, plus that a later empty result is unaffected and a non-empty one is a fresh object.

Numbers

16 exports (10 value, 6 type), and I verified the body's "no consumer" claim rather than repeating it: grepping all 16 across packages and apps, excluding dist and the renderer's own src, finds zero. api-surface.json adds exactly those 16 lines.

Renderer 1066 → 1081 pass, 0 fail (+15). Note the baseline is 1066 rather than the 1065 I quoted earlier — your 1b38713e8 added one.

One prose point worth flagging: the changeset's pre-existing "never as a hard requirement" was arguably an overclaim before this fix, since the feature was a hard requirement of the only request made. It is accurate now.

Reviewed the four CodeRabbit findings against the current head rather than against the review, since three commits landed after it. Two are resolved, one I am refuting with evidence, and one still stands. Holding the merge on the last of those.

Resolved — frame-timing.ts:93, the __proto__ Major. Fixed at head, and the comment states the mechanism precisely (the __proto__ setter silently dropping the pass, constructor reading the inherited function so + ms string-concatenates):

const totals: Record<string, number> = Object.create(null) as Record<string, number>;

Refuted — frame-timing-stats.ts:145, "returns the mutable shared EMPTY_STATS". It is not mutable:

53: const EMPTY_STATS: DurationStats = Object.freeze({

ES modules are always strict mode, so a caller writing to it throws rather than silently corrupting the shared object. No change wanted.

Still stands — frame-timing-gpu.ts:220, the pending mapAsync Major. readback() awaits a map that destroy() can invalidate underneath it:

async readback(): Promise<PassTimingSample[] | null> {
  if (!this.resolved) return null;
  await this.readbackBuffer.mapAsync(GPUMapMode.READ);   // <- destroy() during this await
  const raw = this.readbackBuffer.getMappedRange(...);

destroy() is documented as "call when timing is turned off", so the reachable sequence is a user toggling the overlay off while a frame's readback is in flight. The spec rejects a pending mapAsync when the buffer is destroyed, so the await throws and readback() rejects with nothing attached to catch it. beginFrame() has the same shape: it resets labels and nextQueryIndex while a readback may still be reading them.

Narrow, and it is an opt-in profiling feature rather than a default path, so I am not calling it severe. But it is a real unresolved Major and it is exactly the case where "toggle it off at the wrong moment" is the thing a user does when the overlay is confusing them.

Why I am holding rather than merging. This PR is in the small minority on the board that has a genuine CodeRabbit review at all, so the tick here means more than it does elsewhere, not less. Merging it with an open Major because the surrounding PRs have no review would be the wrong lesson to draw from that.

Not touching the branch. Happy to merge as soon as the readback/destroy interleaving is either guarded or dismissed on the record.

Withdrawing my hold on this PR. I blocked it on the mapAsync/destroy interleaving. Fable re-examined it under the arrangement where Fable and I now hold the review seat CodeRabbit vacated, and my hold does not survive.

The finding is mechanically correct and has zero call sites

GpuFrameTimingRecorder is constructed nowhere. On this PR's head, the only references to GpuFrameTimingRecorder, readback, beginFrame, destroy, decideTimingMode or createCpuFrameTicker outside the new module files are the re-exports at packages/renderer/src/index.ts:92-98. Current origin/main was grepped for the same names across apps/ and packages/: zero hits, so no caller landed in the ~69 commits since this branched.

There is no toggle path either. WebGPUDevice requests the adapter feature; it never creates a recorder. "On" means a future caller writes GpuFrameTimingRecorder.create(...) themselves.

So nothing can call destroy() or beginFrame() while a readback() is in flight, because nothing calls them at all.

And one part of my finding was overstated

I said the rejection would have "nothing attached to catch it". That is wrong: readback() returns its promise to the caller, so a rejection surfaces at the caller's own await. It is an unhandled rejection only if a caller fire-and-forgets, and the library never orphans it.

For the record, traced for whoever writes that first caller: destroy() during a pending map rejects it with AbortError per spec, so the await throws. beginFrame() during a pending map resets labels/nextQueryIndex, and the resumed readback() calls getMappedRange(0, 0) and returns [] — silent sample loss rather than a crash, or silent mis-attribution if new passes had begun. A pipelined endFrame() + queue.submit() while a map is pending fails submit validation and drops the frame. All real, all requiring a caller that does not exist.

Non-blocking ask, not a condition: one sentence on destroy() and beginFrame() saying not to call them while a readback() is pending, or an in-flight flag. The class doc half-acknowledges the hazard already but nothing enforces it.

The rest, reviewed

Timestamp-query availability is sound. 'timestamp-query' is added to requiredFeatures only when the adapter advertises it; the three-stage degradation keeps the load-bearing buffer limits when the feature is rejected; hasTimestampQueryFeature() reads the granted device rather than the adapter; create() returns null without it; decideTimingMode degrades to cpu-fallback/disabled. device-request-fallback.test.ts pins both directions including advertised-but-not-granted.

Tests can fail, proven by running them rather than by reading. 69/69 pass at head, then five hand mutations: freeze removed → 2 fail; null-prototype accumulator reverted to {} → 8 fail; pairTimestampsWithLabels short-buffer guard deleted → 4 fail; the +1 in allocatePassQueryIndices deleted → 1 fail (the odd-cursor test does the job its comment claims); negative-delta clamp deleted → 5 fail. Control clean.

Minor, none blocking

  • DurationStats is not Readonly in the type while EMPTY_STATS is frozen, so a caller patching a result in place compiles, works on every non-empty result, and throws only when count === 0. A data-dependent runtime throw the type system does not flag. Readonly<DurationStats> as the return type closes it.
  • createCpuFrameTicker's deltas array grows unboundedly and deltasMs() copies O(n) per call. Fine for a diagnostic; would matter if left on.
  • Sequential double readback() re-maps and returns the same stale data with no staleness signal, since resolved is never cleared. Same caller-misuse family as the finding above.
  • On the stage-1 device.ts rejection path with empty requiredFeatures, the error object is swallowed and the stage-3 warning omits it, so the driver's actual reason is never logged. Pre-existing.

CodeRabbit on this PR reads "pass — Review rate limited", so no bot review happened here. This is the replacement.

No blocking findings. My hold is released.
