The managed-scope disposal cases in subprocess-local and bash-sandbox run past
the 5000ms default when this lane's four partitions, six workers per gate, and
sibling gates share one host. The same commit stays inside the budget on the
in-house pool: the hosted image exceeded it (run 34449848541) and the lane is
green with 90000 (run 34457655892). The Windows coverage lane already grants
the same budget for the same class of teardown.
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).
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.
client-bundle.client.spec.ts reads packages/client/ui-trajectory/lib/client.js
and skips all three cases when the bundle is absent, so it is a fourth
lib-consuming suite in the instrumented corpus. List it beside built-package
in the ci.yml comment, the ci-workflow.spec.ts comment, and the
partitioned-coverage note (both languages).
Strengthen the ci-workflow.spec.ts guard to match any 'pnpm run build'
spelling (corepack prefix, multi-line run blocks) instead of one exact
string, and complete the lib-consuming self-skip inventory with the
webworker-runtime transform-corpus import sweep alongside the packer
image assertions and the built-package check. Update the ci.yml comment
and the partitioned-coverage note (both languages) to match, and drop the
stale 'post-build' phase wording and the native-Windows build-wait
rationale from the coverage-exempt comment.
