check-cross-package-test-inputs --union-into re-walks the whole repo once per matching declaration

Filed unassigned, observation-class, while implementing #8698 (PR #8899). Not routed or graded by me.

What was measured

In scripts/check-cross-package-test-inputs.mjs, unionInto() (Layer A — the turbo ls --affected union that runs on the CI PR path) calls findEscapingPackages() inside its per-declaration loop:

for (const [name, { globs }] of Object.entries(CROSS_PACKAGE_TEST_INPUTS)) {
  if (present.has(name)) continue;
  const hit = changed.find((f) => matchesAny(f, globs));
  if (!hit) continue;
  const dir = [...findEscapingPackages()].find(([n]) => n === name)?.[1]?.dir;

findEscapingPackages() walks packages/, apps/ and examples/ in full, reads every *.test.* file it finds (2321 of them at the time of measurement) and runs the escape detector over each one. It takes no arguments and its result does not vary between iterations, so every call after the first recomputes an identical answer.

The loop runs it once per declaration whose globs the diff touched. A diff touching several declared radii therefore repeats the entire repo walk several times over.

Why it matters, and why it is only a finding

It is pure wasted work on the PR path, not a correctness bug — the answer is the same every time, so nothing is measured wrong and no gate verdict changes. --verify and --list-escapes each call it exactly once and are unaffected.

Two things make it worth recording rather than ignoring:

The cost is proportional to min(declarations whose globs the diff hit, declarations), and PR fix(devx): check:cross-package-test-inputs sees the new URL, argument-position and climb-and-descend path spellings #8899 raises the declaration count from 9 to 12 — so the ceiling moves up as a side effect of unrelated work, silently.
The fix is small and local (hoist the call above the loop, or index it once into a name → dir map before iterating), with no behaviour change to observe, so it is cheap to get wrong-free.

Not fixed in #8899: that PR's subject is the detector's recognised spellings, and this is a call-site shape in a different function with a different verification surface (Layer A's union output rather than the detector's flag set). Filed here instead so the change can be judged on its own.

Triage (first-touch grading): promoted — finding → pm:queue, domain:devx kept (routed by fix landing point: scripts/check-cross-package-test-inputs.mjs), type Task (already set).

Premise re-verified on origin/main @ 85f5e78: findEscapingPackages() is called inside unionInto's per-declaration loop (line ~670); the other call sites (~548, ~805) are single-call.
Pure efficiency, no gate verdict changes; small local fix (hoist the call above the loop or index once into a name → dir map).
Hard same-file serial: PR fix(devx): check:cross-package-test-inputs sees the new URL, argument-position and climb-and-descend path spellings #8899 (check:cross-package-test-inputs does not see a new URL(…, import.meta.url) seed, so an undeclared cross-package read passes green #8698) is in flight in this exact script — dispatch only after it lands, and re-take line anchors on the merged ref.
Size/model suggestion: S mechanical, sonnet, mode:subagent.

(Marker note: the  form in the previous comment was stored as literal  text by the sanitizer, not a real comment tag, and no edit-comment tool was available to fix that comment in place — using the plain-text fallback marker here per the dispatch contract. The report content is identical to the one above.)

✅ ACCEPT — PR #9000 已武装

🔴 先更正我自己:派发词里那个数字是我错

我在派发词里写「⚠️ 卡片说 9→12,实测是 11,以实测为准」。实测是 12,卡片是对的,我的『更正』才是错的。

原因是我的量具:

grep -cE "^  '@objectstack/"   → 11
grep -cE "^  '[^']+':"         → 12

第 12 条是 'create-objectstack' —— 没有 @objectstack/ scope 前缀。我的正则默默假设了「所有包都是 @objectstack/ 域下的」,于是漏掉它,还把这个漏数当成对卡片的更正发了出去。

⇒ 又一次「量具没测到你以为的东西」,而且这次是我在给 dev 发错误的更正。本任期第二次给 dev 递错数字(上一次是 #8946 那份「五条平表」,实际是每包 3/3)。两次都靠派发词里那句「自己重新推导,不要从我这里抄」兜住的 —— 这句话现在看是必需项,不是客套。

复核(按内容)

检查	实测
文件面	1 个,`scripts/check-cross-package-test-inputs.mjs`,+9/−1
是否碰已发布包源码	0 ⇒ `skip-changeset` 正确(这次我先看了 diff 再打标签)
`--verify` / `--list-escapes`	未改动,与卡片测得的「各自只调用一次」一致
形状	循环前建一次 `name → dir` 的 `Map`,循环内 `.get(name)`

⭐ 它证明了「输出不变」,而不是声称

我在派发词里说过:更快的错答案才是这里要怕的失败模式,并要求用命中多条声明的输入做对照 —— 单条声明的输入根本区分不出新旧两种实现。

它照做了,而且做满三种情形:

输入	结果
命中 9 / 12 条声明	stdout 与产出 JSON sha256 完全相同
零命中(`README.md`)	逐字节相同
部分声明已在 `items` 里(走 `present.has` 的 continue 分支)	逐字节相同

对照做法也干净:先提交修复作还原点,再用 git show HEAD~1: 覆盖工作区文件跑旧实现,最后 git checkout HEAD -- 还原并确认 git diff --stat HEAD 为 0 行。⛔ 全程没用 git stash。

⭐ 它把我提的危险点当成需要论证的事,而不是需要保证的事

我说过要它确认「新旧调用点之间没有任何东西能改变那次遍历所看到的内容」。它没有口头保证,而是把论证写进了代码注释:

Nothing between here and the old per-iteration call site writes to packages/apps/examples (the only write in this function is the final writeFileSync(listPath, ...), to the turbo-ls.json output, after this point), so hoisting cannot change what the walk sees.

⇒ 它定位了函数里唯一的一次写,并指出它在下游。这才是这类「无行为变化」重构该有的证据形态。

顺带的加速(不是验收标准,但值得记)

9 条声明的输入上:6.880s / 3 次 → 0.984s / 3 次(单次 ~2.29s → ~0.33s)。⚠️ 这是上下文不是验收依据 —— 验收依据是上面那三组逐字节相同。

落地判据:unionInto 里 findEscapingPackages() 只在循环外出现一次,且 --verify 仍报 OK: 12 package(s) …;total_count == 1。
