What

Removes the CLI-side throwaway sorter construction from fgumi sort. Since #885 routed the sort command onto the declarative arena chain, execute_sort no longer runs the owned engine — but it still built a full RawExternalSorter via a private Sort::build_sorter helper purely to read three numbers off it for the startup banner (Phase-1/Phase-2 thread counts and the max-temp-files limit). This deletes that dead construction and sources those numbers directly from the command's own options.

Concretely, in src/lib/commands/sort.rs:

  • Adds Sort::phase1_threads() / Sort::phase2_threads() — small helpers that resolve the effective per-phase thread counts without constructing a sorter. They are deliberate, exact mirrors of RawExternalSorter::phase1_threads() / phase2_threads() (a two-line sort_threads.unwrap_or(threads).max(1) formula); duplicating rather than exporting a cross-crate function is intentional, because after this change the engine's own methods have only one internal caller (SortBuffer::from_sorter). The duplication is pinned against drift by a new test_phase_threads_match_engine, which constructs a RawExternalSorter directly and asserts the two implementations agree across representative inputs (including the zero-override clamp).
  • Sources the max-temp-files banner line from self.resolved_max_temp_files(soft_nofile) directly — an exact identity, since build_sorter set the sorter's limit via that same call and the banner read it back.
  • Deletes Sort::build_sorter and the already-#[allow(dead_code)] Sort::auto_initial_capacity helper, plus the tests that only existed to exercise them.

What is NOT changed

RawExternalSorter / SortWorkerPool remain live production code — used by fgumi merge, fgumi simulate, and the arena chain's own per-chunk in-memory sort (SortBuffer::from_sorter). crates/fgumi-sort is untouched. This PR only removes the CLI's throwaway construction of a sorter for banner values, not the engine itself.

Correctness

The startup banner text is unchanged: the new helpers reproduce the exact numbers the throwaway sorter reported (test_sort_thread_logging pins the literal banner line, and passes byte-identically). Output is unchanged: the fgumi sort cutover parity suite (test_sort_cutover_parity) is untouched and still passes byte-for-byte against the saved pre-cutover baseline binary across all four sort orders (coordinate, queryname, queryname-natural, template-coordinate), plus the spill/consolidation record-identity and stdin/CRC/write-index cases.

Test coverage is preserved: the deleted wiring/agreement tests were redundant with retained ones (test_memory_budget_threads keeps its full formula table; the new test_phase_threads_match_engine and the renamed test_resolved_max_temp_files assert the same properties without constructing a throwaway sorter), and the --max-temp-files consolidation-record-identity test was rewritten to build the engine directly rather than via the deleted helper.

No new unsafe. Full gate green (fmt, clippy -D warnings -W pedantic, doc -D warnings, test suite).

Risk: command output changes: none; existing chain sorting and parity tests pin output. unsafe changes: none; CLAUDE.md allowlist unchanged. Memory bounds, queue capacity, and thread/backpressure policy changes: none; helpers mirror existing engine formulas.

Fix: Removed the CLI-only RawExternalSorter construction from fgumi sort.

  • Added sorter-free phase-thread and max-temp-file resolution helpers.
  • Updated banner values to use command options.
  • Removed obsolete Sort::build_sorter and Sort::auto_initial_capacity.
  • Added tests for engine parity, consolidation, banner values, and record identity.

Walkthrough

The sort command no longer constructs RawExternalSorter. It resolves phase-thread and temporary-file settings directly, logs those values, and executes sorting through the chain builder. Tests now validate helper parity and direct engine behavior.

Changes

Sort engine integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command-side setting resolution
src/lib/commands/sort.rs
Sort resolves phase thread counts and temporary-file limits. Configuration logging uses these resolved values.
Resolution and engine behavior validation
src/lib/commands/sort.rs
Tests cover helper formulas, zero-value clamping, temporary-file resolution, and direct engine consolidation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8029c

fgumi sort can report one temporary-file limit while executing with another, potentially changing spill/consolidation behavior and making the startup banner misleading. Freeze the resolved value when building the sort chain.

Freeze the resolved temporary-file limit before building the chain.

execute_sort resolves max_temp_files, but build_sort_chain_spec still passes MaxTempFiles::Auto; add_sort then reads RLIMIT_NOFILE again. The chain can therefore use a different limit from the logged value. Pass MaxTempFiles::Fixed(max_temp_files) into SortOptions.

Sort::phase1_threads/phase2_threads hand-copied the chain's
resolve_phase_threads formula for the startup banner. Delegate to the
chain's own resolver instead (now pub(crate)) so the two cannot drift,
retarget a comment left dangling by the deleted Sort::build_sorter to
Sort::resolved_max_temp_files, restore a memory-budget/phase-1

test.
