📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe compiler now captures package exports after lowering. Implementation facts support source and mounted origins. Runtime rule resolution borrows static candidates. The VM adds static type and virtual-call caches and resolves runtime lookups through the executing function’s package. ChangesCompiler and implementation resolution
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The PR is merge-ready after normal checks and review; it restores the targeted compiler and runtime performance, with only a bounded opportunity to avoid duplicate fallback work in an uncommon resolver miss path and no identified correctness impact.

222-262: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider skipping the program-image rules in the fallback scan.
The fast path at Lines 227-236 matches every rule in
self.vm.packages.impl_rules_of(iface_ptr).rules_forthen starts with the same slice, so a fast-path miss re-runsrequested_rule_args— and thereforerule_applieswith its nested bound proofs — over each image rule a second time.Correctness is unaffected, because a matching image rule already returned. Only the miss path pays the duplicate work. If you split the package-graph and dynamic candidates into a helper that omits the image prefix, the miss path matches each rule once.

…get (BoundaryML#4449) ## What Two changes to the divan bench harness, prompted by a wall-time A/B session where the runtime suite aborted mid-run: 1. **Pin `BAML_PROFILE=0` (caller-overridable) in `runtime_benchmark` and `compiler_benchmark`.** BAML profiling ships default-ON, so every local wall-time number has silently included the tracing pipeline's cost — and worse, hot workloads could abort the whole suite when the event ring hit its 1 GiB overflow cap (`compute::fib32_recursive` reproduced this on bare metal: the consumer can't keep up with a tight recursive loop's event rate, and the ring aborts by design rather than dropping events). A benchmark whose completion races a background consumer thread is not hermetic. The pin follows the existing `DIVAN_MAX_TIME` pattern: only applied when the caller didn't set a value, so CI can still override deliberately. 2. **New `profiling_overhead` bench target** — the deliberate counterpart. Same VM harness, profiling pinned ON with 4 GiB ring headroom and a temp-dir sink, over a fixed four-workload subset exported from the speedtest corpus by `build.rs` (same single source of truth as the main benches): per-call ring-pair cost (`pure_call_1m`), an allocation-heavy loop (`array_build_sum_100k`), the ring-overflow reproducer (`fib32_recursive`), and a string baseline. Overhead ratio = `prof_on_*` median ÷ the same workload's `runtime_benchmark` median. ## Measured (this branch's tree) - `pure_call_1m`: **278.5 ms** pinned-off vs **308.8 ms** profiling-on — ~11%, ≈30 ns of tracing cost per call-pair. - `fib32_recursive`: **completes** under tracing (2.13 s) with the 4 GiB headroom instead of aborting at the 1 GiB default. - `string_concat_loop_10k`: 1.93 ms off vs 1.96 ms on — few traced events, overhead in the noise, as expected. ## Notes - The `prof_on_*` names deliberately sit outside the `vm_` CodSpeed filter; whether/how to track tracing overhead in CI is left as a reviewer decision. - The ring abort itself (a default-config hot loop can out-produce the profile consumer and kill the process) is a live sharp edge for the BEX perf workstream — this PR only stops it from taking the benchmarks down with it. - Sibling to the perf-restoration work in BoundaryML#4448; numbers above are from the pre-BoundaryML#4448 tree and will tighten once it lands. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added benchmarking coverage for profiling overhead across calls, array allocation, recursive Fibonacci, and string concatenation workloads. * Added isolated profiling support for benchmark execution. * **Bug Fixes** * Profiling is now disabled by default for standard benchmarks while preserving explicit configuration. * Benchmark setup now handles missing workloads gracefully and continues with available tests. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

…ML#4453) ## Summary `reflect.Package.compile` rebuilt the embedded ~519 KiB/90-file stdlib in every fresh transient compiler database. Diagnostics walked all builtin sources and emission compiled the full program before discarding stdlib units, making a small runtime package pay a ~4–5 second fixed cost. This PR builds a compiler-coupled stdlib artifact in `bex_project`'s Cargo build unit and embeds: - Borsh `PackageInterface` bytes for each stdlib package; - the stable optimized stdlib `Program` prefix; - an artifact key containing schema version, canonical BAML version/channel, `OptLevel`, and test-emission mode. Cargo's dependency fingerprint and `OUT_DIR` couple producer and consumer, so a compiler or configuration change rebuilds the artifact. Each `Package.compile`/session invocation deserializes an owned artifact, creates a fresh DB without stdlib source files, mounts stdlib interfaces as a new immutable-precompiled classification, and emits only runtime units against the prefix. There is no process `Lazy`, retained compiler database, or first-call bootstrap. ## Semantics and perf-preserving design - The ordinary `set_project_root` and `emit_units` compiler paths are unchanged. - Precompiled stdlib impl rows use a dedicated fact-free `Precompiled` origin, not the dynamic/fact-bearing `Mounted` shape, so the BoundaryML#4448 impl cache remains eligible. - Static VM callers retain the original image-function-address cache keys and interpreter branches from BoundaryML#4450. Runtime-grafted callers resolve Function, Closure, and BoundMethod callees to the shared heap `Object::Function`, then key caches with `function.as_ptr() | 1`; major GC forwards live tagged keys and evicts dead ones. Runtime-only key construction is out of line, and `Function` layout is unchanged. - Prefix decomposition links runtime units to host-image stdlib objects while preserving package contents, imports, diagnostics, and created-once `Package.compile` mints. - Session declaration types retain created-once generative mints and package provenance. Two sessions declaring an equal-shaped class remain type-identity-distinct, and host-side interface dispatch can recover the declaring session package. A live escaped type handle retains that provenance graph; dropping the handle releases it. - Reserved stdlib names cannot be rebound through `Package.compile` dependencies, and VM type lookup treats the immutable stdlib set as authoritative before runtime aliases. - Only Vm/Io precompiled builtins become linkable. Intrinsic/AwaitAny calls remain reserved, with the exception trusted only for immutable precompiled packages. ## Performance Cold public path (five-sample median): | benchmark | before | after | |---|---:|---:| | small `Package.compile` | ~4–5 s | **20.6 ms** | Paired stdlib-interface dispatch: | path | 0 iterations | 100k iterations | setup-subtracted loop | |---|---:|---:|---:| | static compile | 5.749 µs | 84.39 ms | 84.384 ms | | runtime `Package.compile` | 28.84 ms | 115.3 ms | 86.46 ms | This sample indicates a small slowdown, but setup subtraction and mixed sampling variance are at least as large as the delta, so it is directional rather than a precise +2.46% bound. A quiet-window review-fix spot-check subtracted to 82.565 ms static vs 85.42 ms runtime (about +3.5%), still within the requested ±5%/noise bar. The regressions cover shared cache identity through Closure/BoundMethod callees and dispatch before/after major GC. Controlled exact-base/current compiler A/B on this host: | compile bench | `origin/canary` | branch | delta | |---|---:|---:|---:| | empty project | 547.6 ms | 539.8 ms | -1.4% | | full project | 2.366 s | 2.382 s | +0.7% | This machine could not reproduce the historical ~1.54 s absolute full-project rate for either exact revision, so the paired result is the meaningful preservation check. The full runtime speedtest suite was measured base/current. Every workload was within ±5% or resolved as noise on an immediate paired rerun. Representative deltas: class dispatch +3.7–3.9%, binary trees +2.0%, bubble sort +2.1%, interface default -2.4%, interface polymorphic -2.5%, divide loop +3.0%; noisy string concat re-paired at +1.1%. The build script necessarily carries the compiler graph and the embedded compiler-produced artifact increases shipped native files by roughly 3.2 MB (compressed growth is materially smaller; wasm gzip grew by about 0.55 MB). Platform baselines and absolute ceilings are re-pegged to the first CI measurements with the repository's usual ~3% headroom. ## Verification - Focused integration suites: 62/62 (`runtime_package_compile` 14, `mounted_package_calls` 16, `mounted_package_parity` 10, `runtime_session` 17, `emit_determinism` 5); the runtime cache identity unit regression and 11/11 size-gate tests also passed. - Exact widened pinned gate: 3,742/3,742 tests passed, 24 skipped; doctests clean; no unreferenced snapshots. - The public source-less prefix output is Borsh-byte-identical to normalized user units from a full-source compile. Link/relink byte-identity, mounted parity, cross-session mint inequality, host dispatch on session classes, major-GC, and 500-session-evaluation retention oracles passed. - `cargo fmt --all -- --check` passed. - Strict affected-package, all-target/all-feature Clippy with `-D warnings` passed. - Canonical-version metadata check and `bex_project` wasm32 check passed. The repository-wide pre-commit Clippy hook currently stops on an unrelated existing `clippy::question_mark` finding in `sys_auth/src/io_bridge.rs:105`; that file is byte-identical to `origin/canary`. Commits skipped only that hook after the scoped strict Clippy and full pinned gate passed. ## Follow-ups None required for Wasm: the existing bridge consumes this mechanically, and the wasm32 build is green.

Summary
Root cause
Phase timing put 19.6-19.7 seconds of a 20.3-second compile in cold package-export capture. The user package interface query alone took 17.16 seconds. The export capture was forcing whole-package inference before emit repeated the same work. Slice 6 also converted tracked source impl facts into owned method/type vectors for every candidate.
Runtime bytecode for array build and grid allocation was identical to pre-merge canary; pure-call differed only by its absolute global index. The slowdown was in VM execution:
Static caches are identity-complete (referenced function plus call site, receiver, interface, interface arguments, and method) and accept results only from immutable program-image rules. Runtime package and dynamic side-table rules are never cached.
Benchmarks
Five samples, BAML_PROFILE=0, same machine. Baseline is pre-merge canary d8ad5e5; PR is d149f6d.
