From eb5cd2a9452603f8ba0f887ee7bd51e45f3d1e8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: carlos-alm Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 01:43:45 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] perf(native): skip backfill on incrementals when orchestrator preserved files MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit #1069 made `backfillNativeDroppedFiles` run on every successful orchestrator pass — including incrementals — to repair `nodes`/`file_hashes` rows the orchestrator deleted for files outside its narrower file_collector (Clojure, Julia, R, Erlang, F#, Gleam, etc.). #1070 then taught the orchestrator's `detect_removed_files` to skip those extensions, so a current-binary 1-file rebuild reports `removedCount=0` and the orchestrator never deletes the dropped-language rows in the first place. But the JS side kept calling backfill unconditionally — wasting ~45ms per incremental on this repo (fs walk + 2 DB queries + WASM re-parse of all 48 unsupported-extension fixture files) repairing a gap that no longer exists. Gate the backfill call on `result.isFullBuild || result.removedCount > 0`: - Full builds: backfill runs (orchestrator never inserted dropped-language files, gap-fill is the whole point). - Incrementals on a current binary with #1070: `removedCount=0`, backfill skipped, no work needed. - Incrementals on a legacy binary (≤3.9.6) without #1070: `removedCount>0`, backfill runs, gap-repair behavior preserved. Local measurement on this repo (incremental-benchmark.ts, native engine): before: 1-file rebuild ~108ms (post-revert main, no fix) after: 1-file rebuild ~60ms Closes #1075. --- src/domain/graph/builder/pipeline.ts | 20 +++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/domain/graph/builder/pipeline.ts b/src/domain/graph/builder/pipeline.ts index 33df7345..e9e1f52c 100644 --- a/src/domain/graph/builder/pipeline.ts +++ b/src/domain/graph/builder/pipeline.ts @@ -753,15 +753,17 @@ async function tryNativeOrchestrator( // stale native binaries).

The 25% threshold was flagging these as regressions even when the underlying work hadn't changed. Empirically verified the v3.10.0 No-op rebuild slowdown is real but small: ~3-7ms / ~25-35% locally (v3.9.6 source+binary measured at 14-19ms steady-state vs HEAD at 18-22ms). CI's +120% reflects metric noise floor on a sub-30ms baseline, not a 2x slowdown. Confirmed by toggling the JS-side fast-skip pre-flight (#1064) off — the orchestrator-only path is the same speed, ruling out #1064 as cause. Add 3.10.0:No-op rebuild to KNOWN_REGRESSIONS with the empirical breakdown. Likely contributors are the is_supported_extension filter in detect_removed_files (#1070), the larger file_hashes row set after #1069, and tree-sitter 0.24→0.25 — each costs a few hundred μs and together explain the local delta. Prune 6 dead entries (3.9.0/3.9.1/3.9.2 across 1-file rebuild, fnDeps depths, Full build) — these only fire when their version is `latest`, which never happens with current committed history (latest is 3.9.6 across all three benchmark files). Document the convention so future pruning is mechanical.
