The per-platform failover repository variables (DSH_CI_FAILOVER_LINUX and
DSH_CI_FAILOVER_WINDOWS) accept a third value alongside the existing
selfhosted routing. Set by a repository writer, the value retargets the
always-on pull-request and master lanes onto the matching hosted-runner
labels (16-core pools map to the 16-vCPU tier, standard legs to 4-vCPU);
unset or any other value keeps today's runners, so the leg is dormant until
a writer opts in - a canary path for capacity fallback, never the default.
Participating jobs: the three enterprise Linux workers, the node-compat
legs, the four Windows lanes, and the all-checks-passed verdict in ci.yml;
expected-filenames; the sandbox bwrap leg; and the two manual benchmark
matrices (4-32 vCPU tiers map to equivalents; 64/96-core rows keep the
fleet labels). Everything pinned to its own runner by spec, credential, or
host capability keeps it under every value, and the release-shaped chains
stay entirely hosted. request-review.yml was retired on master while this
work was in flight and the branch takes the deletion.
Specs pin the new branches: ci-workflow.spec.ts asserts the labels appear
in the extended selectors, and ci-compatible-selfhosted.spec.ts evaluates
the routing mode.
Add a benchmark lane (`vitest.bench.config.ts`, `pnpm run test:bench`,
gate mode `ci-bench`) and a required `node 24 / benchmarks` CI job that
runs it alone. Benchmarks synthesize their input in-process from fixed
parameters and fail on documented budgets:
- `open-generation.bench.ts`: a 200-turn released-v0 log with 500 text
and 125 reasoning deltas per reply (127,400 events, ~2.8 MB) encoded
through the frozen v0 codec; the migrating first `open()` must finish
within 2,000 ms in a child process capped at 128 MB of old space, and a
fresh process must open the published current generation within 500 ms.
- `conversation-fold.bench.client.ts`: 200 replies whose compact streams
hold 2,000 text + 500 reasoning deltas each, folded through every Chat
Definition by the real assembler; the fold must finish within 150 ms
and stay within 3x the fold of the same window with 100 deltas per
reply.
On this commit both gates fail: the migration exhausts the 128 MB heap
(4.8 s and 696 MB peak RSS without the cap; the pre-stack decode of the
same bytes took 34 ms and 168 MB) and the fold scales 11x with the delta
count. The stacked fixes bring both paths to O(records).
render() loaded the workspace manifests once per external dependency
name through workspaceLinkedManifest, an O(names x manifests) file
read on the cold path; on the loaded self-hosted Windows host with
coverage instrumentation the freshness spec crossed Vitest's default
5000ms budget and failed the serial-windows standby gate four times in
a week. Load the manifests once in render() and thread the map through
the collectors instead.
The serial-windows lane also ran the coverage inventory at the strictest
budget of any lane: add DSH_COVERAGE_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS=90000 to match the
pull-request windows-coverage lane, pinned by ci-workflow.spec.ts.
Resolve the 08-08 note conflict (keep the zero-build rewrite, drop the
SQLite busy-journal sentence removed with the SQLite backend) and drop the
now-removed session-persistence-sqlite built-package suite from the
lib-consuming self-skip inventory in the ci.yml comment, the
ci-workflow.spec.ts comment, and the partitioned-coverage note; the
inventory is now image-loadable, transform-corpus, and client-bundle.
