ci(perf): measure a core's release PR against the head with only that core at its tag (LAB-12798) - #313
A core's release PR is now measured against the PR's own tree with only that core's package checked out at the core's last tag. Before, it was measured against the whole tree at that tag, so SDK changes made since then failed the core's release even though the core does not ship them. Those changes are already gated on the SDK's own release PR.
#273 (cachekit-core-wasm 0.2.2) shows it: get-l2-hit-metrics read +10.68% and l1-set-at-capacity-100k +2.14% against cachekit-core-wasm-v0.2.1. Both are SDK workloads, and the cost is SDK code released in cachekit 0.2.3. #272 passes the same workloads against cachekit-v0.2.3.
What changes
perf-ir-base.sh writes a third output, package. It is empty for a feature PR (base HEAD^1) and for the SDK's release PR (base: the whole cachekit-v<version> tree), both as before. For a core's release PR it names the core's package path, and the label reads this PR with packages/<core> at <tag> (<sha>), last release.
A PR on a core's release branch gets that base only when it changes nothing outside the core's package and .release-please-manifest.json. Anyone can name a branch, so any other PR on such a branch is measured against the whole tagged tree, as before. A branch name alone cannot hide an SDK change from the gate.
perf-ir.sh trees with BASE_PACKAGE lists the base's workloads from the tag's bench file, then moves the base tree to HEAD and runs git checkout --no-overlay <tag> -- <package>, which also removes files the core added since its tag. A workload added since the tag therefore still reads new if the tagged core cannot run it. The tagged core's package.json keeps the head's dependency fields, because the head's pnpm-lock.yaml resolves the install, so a devDependency bump since the tag does not fail the base's frozen install. It is still one base build per shard.
The workflow passes the output through.
Design choice
The other way to fix this was to have each workload declare the packages it exercises, and gate only the workloads that exercise the core being released. I picked the mixed tree instead, because it keeps every workload gated. The SDK workloads that run through the NAPI core still measure a cachekit-core-ts release, and no declaration list can drift out of date. It costs no extra build. On a core release PR every workload is still gated, so the comment needs no not-gated marker. As before, a workload that fails on either build reads INCOMPLETE.
Two trade-offs, both documented in CONTRIBUTING.md:
A core's dependency declarations are the head's on both sides, so a change to them since the tag is not measured on the core's release PR. The feature PR that made the change was measured, and the job warns when it skips one.
If the head's SDK imports by name a core export that the tag lacks, the mixed base fails to build and every workload reads INCOMPLETE. It fails closed, and the log says why. The SDK already reads optional core exports off the module namespace (src/cache.ts), and CONTRIBUTING now asks that a new core export be read that way until its core has released.
Testing
perf-ir-hash-selftest.sh, run in CI, now also builds each kind of base on a synthetic repo whose core tag sits one commit before the SDK's. Its release PRs edit what release-please edits: the package's version, its CHANGELOG.md and its manifest entry. On a core release PR, the base matches the head everywhere outside the core's package, so SDK drift since the core's tag cannot fail the gate. The core's own drift hashes apart. The base holds the core tag's file, a core file added since the tag is absent from it, and its core package.json is the tag's with only the head's dependency fields. A workload added since the tag is listed as new. A PR on a core release branch that changes the SDK gets the whole core tag tree. The SDK release PR gets the whole SDK tag tree, and a feature PR gets HEAD^1 with no package. It also checks that the dependency warning appears only when the core's dependencies changed. I checked that each of eight mutants fails the test: a base left at the core tag (no move to the PR head), no manifest exclusion in the guard, core releases measured against the whole tag again, no outside-files guard, the checkout without --no-overlay, no dependency rewrite, no dependency warning, and workloads listed after the mix.
I ran the real gate locally (Node 24.21.0, valgrind 3.22.0) on a merge commit of #273 onto main, using this PR's first commit. On that merge commit the second commit changes only which workloads may read new when their base run fails: the core's dependency fields are unchanged since its tag, and the PR touches only the core and the manifest. These rows all ran on both builds, so they still hold:

The seeded run adds a 2,000-iteration black_box loop to the head core's ByteStorage.pack. Only the workload that runs through it fails.
CONTRIBUTING.md's instruction-count gate paragraph now says how a core release PR is measured.
… core at its tag
A core's release PR was measured against the whole tree at the core's last
tag, so SDK changes made since then, already gated and released on the SDK's
own release PR, failed the core's release. The base is now the PR's own tree
with only that core's package checked out at its tag. The SDK's release PR
and feature PRs keep their bases. The build-hash self-test now also builds
each kind of base on a synthetic repo.

### [1/1] .github/scripts/perf-ir.sh:59
Issue identified during code review:
Mixed-version base in perf-ir.sh trees: when BASE_PACKAGE is set, the base pairs HEAD's SDK (packages/cachekit, whose src/cache.ts and src/workers/runtime.ts import `@cachekit-io/cachekit-core-ts` / `-core-wasm` directly) with the core checked out at its last tag. The comment block (lines 17-21), CONTRIBUTING, and the self-test cover only lockfile/dependency mismatch and additive drift, not this API skew. When a core gains an export after its tag and an SDK PR on main starts using it, that core's release PR hits a tsc/import error in the base's `pnpm build` inside `perf-ir.sh measure`, every shard reads INCOMPLETE, and the release is blocked. Fix: fail `trees` with a clear `::error::` when the base SDK build cannot resolve the core's exports, or fall back to the whole tagged tree when the SDK's use of the core changed since the tag; at minimum, emit a notice documenting that this case reads INCOMPLETE.
Reference implementation (from code review):
// .github/scripts/perf-ir.sh:59
if [[ -n ${BASE_PACKAGE:-} ]]; then
git worktree add --quiet --detach "$root/base" HEAD
git -C "$root/base" checkout --quiet --no-overlay "$BASE_SHA" -- "$BASE_PACKAGE"
# The head SDK now builds against the tagged core: if it uses a core API
# added since the tag, the base build fails and the gate reads INCOMPLETE.
echo "::notice::base = HEAD with $BASE_PACKAGE at $BASE_SHA; an SDK using core APIs newer than the tag cannot build here"

Walkthrough
The instruction-count gate now selects different release baselines for SDK and core PRs. It can build a base tree with one package from the release tag, and its self-test checks baseline selection and hash comparisons.

Summary
Select the baseline .github/scripts/perf-ir-base.sh, .github/workflows/instruction-counts.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md
Release PRs select the component’s last-release tag. SDK releases use the full tagged tree; core releases select that core’s package. Feature PRs use HEAD^1 without a package selection. The workflow exposes the package selection.
Build the selected base tree .github/scripts/perf-ir.sh, .github/workflows/instruction-counts.yml
The workflow passes the selected package to perf-ir.sh. When set, the script creates a worktree from HEAD and checks out only that package from the base SHA with --no-overlay.
Validate baseline and hash behaviour .github/scripts/perf-ir-hash-selftest.sh, .github/workflows/ci.yml
The self-test creates synthetic release and feature PR scenarios and checks selected files and base/head hashes. The CI comment describes expected hash comparisons for core release PRs.

Head 44c5343 and base 4b3fece7adbc0f51f828f00d1009ba0ba58cdfa8 hash alike (--build-hashd5b8bb1c30b79534): nothing the workloads run has changed, so there is nothing to measure.
Give the SDK and core release tags separate commits in the selftest.
Both release tags point to one commit. As a result, the release scenarios cannot detect a core release that resolves from the SDK tag, or an SDK release that resolves from the core tag. The base tree and package stay the same, so those cases still pass. The file helper also reads the SDK tag when it checks core files such as packages/cachekit-core-wasm/pkg/glue.js.
Create the core release tag on a separate commit. Change the file helper so it takes the tag for the component under test, and check each base against its own tag. Changing only the tags can make the core glue check compare against the SDK tag and fail.

…s new
Review findings on the mixed base. A core dependency bump since the tag made
the base's frozen install fail on every later release of that core, so the
base now keeps the head's dependency fields. A workload added since the tag
read INCOMPLETE where the tagged core could not run it, so the base's
workload list now comes from the tag's bench file again. A PR on a core's
release branch that changes anything outside that core and the manifest
now gets the whole tagged tree, so a branch name alone cannot hide an SDK
change from the gate.
The self-test's synthetic release PRs now bump the package version and its
manifest entry, as a real release PR does, so the guard's manifest exclusion
is tested. The core tag sits one commit before the SDK's, so a base taken
from the wrong tag fails. The base's core package.json must be the tag's
with only the head's dependency fields.
CONTRIBUTING and perf-ir.sh name the two things a core release PR does not
measure alone: dependency drift since the tag, which the job now warns
about, and an SDK named import of a core export the tag lacks, which fails
the base build. A failed mixed base build now says so in the log, and a
core release PR that falls back to the whole tree names the files why.
… commit
The check that the base is the PR's own tree outside the core compared the
base worktree with its own HEAD, so a base left at the core tag passed. It
now diffs against the PR merge commit. The trees step's stdout goes to a
log instead of the job, so the self-test no longer raises a dependency
warning on every PR, and the test asserts that the warning appears only
when the core's dependencies changed. Comments that said a core release
measures only the core's drift now point at the two exceptions.

A core's release PR is now measured against the PR's own tree with only that core's package checked out at the core's last tag. Before, it was measured against the whole tree at that tag, so SDK changes made since then failed the core's release even though the core does not ship them. Those changes are already gated on the SDK's own release PR.
