Summary

  • add a batched FindBlobs request to the task-scoped cache agent
  • use blob-pack downloads for foreground rustc restore blob batches when the remote supports them
  • keep individual blob GET fallback through the existing remote client path

Tests

  • cargo check --locked -p mise-cache-core --all-features
  • cargo test --locked -p mise-cache-core blob_pack
  • cargo test --locked --bin mise cache::rustc
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check

Note

Medium Risk
Touches the cache agent wire protocol and shared remote blob download logic used by rustc restore and prefetch; changes are additive (single-blob API unchanged) and covered by blob-pack tests, but incorrect batching or semaphore behavior could affect restore latency or concurrency.

Overview
Batched blob resolution for foreground cache restores: the agent protocol gains FindBlobs / Blobs, and the rustc shim issues one agent request per multi-digest lookup instead of one FindBlob per digest, preserving input order (including duplicates) in the response.

Remote fetch path is generalized: prefetch_remote_blobs becomes fetch_remote_blobs with an optional prefetch semaphore. Prefetch callers pass Some(&prefetch_transfers); foreground find_blobs passes None so restores can use blob packs without competing for prefetch slots. Blob-pack HTTP calls now hold both prefetch (when set) and remote_transfers permits, with transfer timing recorded outside the permit scope on failure.

Tests add coverage that FindBlobs on the read path uses a single blob-pack request and zero per-blob GETs when the remote supports packs.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The agent protocol now supports batched blob lookup. It resolves cached and remote blobs in request order, including duplicate digests. Rust cache lookup sends one request for all digests. Prefetch transfers use generalized limited-fetch methods.

Changes

Batched blob lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent batch lookup protocol
crates/mise-cache-core/src/agent.rs
FindBlobs accepts multiple digests. Blobs returns optional paths in request order. The agent resolves local paths and fetches missing remote blobs. Integration coverage checks packed retrieval, duplicate digests, and response order.
Generalized remote blob fetching
crates/mise-cache-core/src/agent.rs
Prefetch, packed transfers, and fallback transfers use optional prefetch and shared transfer semaphores.
Rust cache batch integration
src/cache/rustc.rs
find_blobs sends one request, validates response length, supports single-blob compatibility, and preserves explicit errors.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 63845

The batched cache lookup change is merge-ready after normal checks; the only remaining concern is a trivial test improvement to verify that response ordering is preserved for non-sorted requests.

A rabbit sends one batch wide,
Paths return in ordered stride.
Packs fill missing cache space,
Semaphores limit the pace.
“Hop!” says the hare, “the blobs align!”

Greptile Summary

The PR batches foreground rustc blob lookups and enables blob-pack downloads while retaining individual-fetch fallback.

  • Adds ordered FindBlobs and Blobs agent messages with duplicate-digest support.
  • Applies the existing remote-transfer semaphore to blob-pack downloads.
  • Updates rustc restoration to validate batched responses and report missing blobs.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains; both previously reported issues are fixed by key-based duplicate reconstruction and transfer-permit coverage around blob-pack downloads.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
crates/mise-cache-core/src/agent.rs Adds batched blob resolution, preserves duplicate result positions, and correctly bounds foreground pack transfers with the shared semaphore.
src/cache/rustc.rs Replaces per-blob requests with one validated batch request while preserving transparent cache-miss fallback behavior.

Use a non-sorted response request order.

response_requested has the same order as sorted entries. A response implementation that returns sorted map order would still pass this test.

Request the second digest first, then the first digest, then the second digest. Keep the pack request assertion sorted.

         let response_requested = vec![
-            entries[0].0.clone(),

+            entries[1].0.clone(),
