📊 Measured Results (non-blocking measurement spikes)

This PR contains two self-contained, non-blocking experimental workflows used to settle the "can we run everything on the merge gate, and how do we make compile fast" questions with real numbers:

  • .github/workflows/experimental-full-suite.yml — build-once nextest archive + mold + sccache + 4-way sharding.
  • .github/workflows/experimental-compile-bench.yml — compile-time A/B (llvm vs cranelift), --timings profiling, and a reborn-only scope to measure the cost of the v1 monolith.

All numbers below are from the workflows' own CI runs. Caches were cold-to-partial, so absolute times are near-worst-case; ratios are the robust signal.

A. Can we run the full deterministic suite on the merge gate? — Yes, ~21–24 min

Config Build (once) Slowest shard (of 4) Build + slowest shard 30-min budget Tests
all-features 1042s 409s ≈ 24.2 min PASS 17,623 pass / 171 fail (99.0%)
default 926s 319s ≈ 20.8 min PASS 16,781 pass / 143 fail (99.2%)
  • mold links the heavy Reborn crates in parallel with no OOM — i.e. CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 can be lifted. This was the core unknown; answered.
  • The ~1% failing tail is environmental, not harness/product bugs: the whole heterogeneous suite runs against one un-migrated Postgres in parallel (relation "memory_documents" does not exist, pg_type schema races, CLI-smoke env). A true all-pass "run everything" needs migrations + per-test DB isolation + env — a finite (~150-test), systematic workstream this spike has now quantified.

B. Compile-time A/B + profiling

Lever Result
mold linker ✅ Works, no OOM, lifts the serial-link constraint. Adopt across Reborn CI.
Cranelift codegen backend ❌ Fails to compile wasmtime (backend incompatible). Dead end for this workspace.
sccache Same build was 1042s @ 42% hit vs 1362s @ 14% hit → ~23% swing on cache warmth alone. Worth warming.
bedrock / AWS SDK Already gated out of default (cargo tree -i aws-lc-sys on default features → empty). The 67s aws-lc-sys C build and the aws-smithy-* tree appear only under --all-features/--features bedrock. No default-build AWS cost to remove — no-op.

Where compile time actually goes (top units, cargo --timings):

Unit Time
ironclaw lib (test) 426s root v1 crate
ironclaw lib 330s root v1 crate
ironclaw_reborn_composition (test+lib) ~145s
ironclaw build-script 71s
aws-lc-sys build-script 67s only via --all-features
individual tests/*.rs binaries ~20s each parallelize

→ The root ironclaw v1 crate (lib + test) is ~55% of total compile time in one crate. A single 426s unit is serial — more cores don't help until it's split.

C. The big one — cost of the v1 monolith: building only Reborn is ~4× faster

ironclaw_reborn_cli does not depend on the root ironclaw crate (cargo tree -p ironclaw_reborn_cli -i ironclaw → no match), so a Reborn-only build skips the monolith entirely:

Build Time (cold) Δ vs full workspace
Full workspace (--workspace --all-targets --all-features) 1326s (~22 min) baseline
Reborn-only (-p ironclaw_reborn_cli --all-targets --all-features) 343s (~5.7 min) ~74% faster (≈ 3.9×)

Dropping the v1 codebase roughly quarters the build — by far the single biggest compile lever, bigger than mold + sccache + cranelift combined.

D. Conclusions → roadmap (fully measured)

  1. Finish killing v1 — the ~4× build win. The Reborn migration is the CI-speed strategy. Post-v1, "run everything on the merge gate" lands well under 15 min.
  2. Adopt mold + lift CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 across reborn-tests.yml / reborn-integration.yml — proven, immediate, no-OOM.
  3. Warm sccache — measured ~23% swing.
  4. Secondary/dead: test-binary consolidation (helps but ~20s each), Cranelift (dead — wasmtime), bedrock feature-gate (already done).
  5. To make "run everything" truly green: migrations + per-test DB isolation + env (the ~150-test tail).

Original spike description

This PR adds self-contained, non-blocking experimental CI workflows. They are measurement spikes, not production merge-gate wiring — they run on pull_request + workflow_dispatch, are not wired into any existing workflow, and are not required checks.

Technique (full-suite): build one cargo nextest archive per feature config; compile with workflow-scoped mold + sccache; deliberately leave CARGO_BUILD_JOBS parallel to test whether mold makes parallel linking viable; fan each archive across 4 nextest shards with no recompile (--workspace-remap .); collect duration JSON for a later duration-balanced (LPT) sharding pass.

Deliverable: each workflow's CI run emits its measurement report in the job summary (build seconds, sccache hit rate, p50/max shard, build+slowest-shard vs a 30-min budget, mold/parallel-link status; and for compile-bench, the llvm-vs-cranelift delta, top-15 slowest units, and the reborn-only delta).

Follow-ups if promoted: duration-balanced LPT sharding from the uploaded artifacts; a real env layer (migrations + per-test DB) for a true all-pass gate; promote to a required merge_group gate only after the report shows it fits budget reliably.

Automated agent-authored spike. Note: the regression-test-check red on this PR is a false-positive of that gate on a CI-only change (no product code → no regression test applies).

The spike failed at the mold-verification step before any build ran. The
rustc probe grepped the linker output for "mold", but rustc swallows the
linker stdout on a successful link, so that check could never pass even
with mold working. Switch to explicit clang --ld-path=/usr/bin/mold (no
ld.mold name resolution, no silent GNU ld fallback) and assert the
rustc->clang->mold link produces a runnable binary instead.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds two new GitHub Actions workflows: experimental-full-suite.yml (626 lines) measures test execution across 4 shards with a 30-minute budget verdict; experimental-compile-bench.yml (670 lines) measures compile-time delta between LLVM and Cranelift backends and tracks top slow compilation units.

Changes

Experimental Full Suite Measurement Workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow triggers, permissions, and global env
.github/workflows/experimental-full-suite.yml
Declares pull_request→main and workflow_dispatch triggers, read-only contents permission, concurrency cancellation, and global env vars (SHARDS=4, BUDGET_SECONDS=1800, feature-set matrix for all-features and default only).
build-archive job: toolchain, mold verification, sccache, nextest archive, and measurements
.github/workflows/experimental-full-suite.yml
Installs Rust (wasm32-wasip2), cargo-nextest, mold/clang; probes mold linkage via C and rustc→clang→mold binary; starts sccache; restores Rust cache; builds nextest archive per feature set with --all-targets fallback retry; records build duration, archive scope, and sccache stats into per-config JSON artifacts.
test-shard job: Postgres, archive download, 4-shard partitioned execution, duration capture
.github/workflows/experimental-full-suite.yml
Provisions Postgres, downloads matching nextest archive, runs cargo nextest run --partition count:N/4 --message-format libtest-json-plus for each of 4 shards, parses JSONL to extract per-test exec-time durations, uploads per-shard measurement JSON; treats exit codes 0 and 100 as success, 66 for missing archive, fails otherwise.
report job: artifact aggregation, max/p50 shard timing, budget verdict, Markdown summary
.github/workflows/experimental-full-suite.yml
Downloads all build and shard measurement artifacts, aggregates shard durations per config, computes max and p50 shard times plus estimated wall-clock total, compares against BUDGET_SECONDS for PASS/FAIL verdict, writes Markdown table and verdict bullets to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY with notes on count: v1 sharding and libsql-only omission.

Experimental Compile Benchmark Workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow triggers, permissions, and environment
.github/workflows/experimental-compile-bench.yml
Declares pull_request→main and workflow_dispatch triggers, scoped read permissions, per-ref concurrency with cancellation, and workflow-level env vars (keychain disable, cargo debug controls).
Toolchain and linker setup
.github/workflows/experimental-compile-bench.yml
Checks out repo, cleans runner disk, installs Rust with wasm32-wasip2 target, installs cargo-nextest, installs mold/clang, verifies mold linkage via end-to-end probe, starts sccache and restores Rust build cache.
Backend selection and verification: LLVM vs Cranelift matrix logic
.github/workflows/experimental-compile-bench.yml
For LLVM on stable: probes and reports version. For Cranelift on nightly: installs component, writes .cargo/config.toml to force backend, compiles probe crate with verbose output to confirm rustc invocation; exports status to GITHUB_ENV and downgrades failures to warnings.
Core measurement: nextest archive under timeout, compile status, sccache stats, JSON parse
.github/workflows/experimental-compile-bench.yml
Runs cargo nextest archive under timeout, captures exit status and duration, treats failure/timeout as data (setting compile_status rather than failing job), records sccache --show-stats, uses Python to parse build logs into structured JSON with inferred cache-hit metrics and failing crate extraction.
LLVM-only timing profiling: cargo build --timings, long-poles parsing, artifact uploads
.github/workflows/experimental-compile-bench.yml
For llvm-baseline arm only: runs cargo build --timings with JSON unstable flags, parses to produce top-15 slow compilation units, uploads measurement artifacts for all matrix arms and timing HTML/JSON for baseline only.
report job: variant comparison, delta computation, long-poles aggregation, Markdown verdict
.github/workflows/experimental-compile-bench.yml
Downloads all variant and baseline timing artifacts (continuing on errors), loads build JSONs, computes trusted-vs-untrusted deltas, generates markdown comparison table with top slow units, writes Verdict to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY with graceful fallback.

Poem

Two workflows measure what lies within—
one shards the tests by thread and spin,
one benchmarks backends side by side;
sccache hums, mold links with pride.
Budgets met when timing's true,
CI becomes a measuring queue. 📊🔧

Review ran into problems

🔥 Problems

Stopped waiting for pipeline failures after 30000ms. One of your pipelines takes longer than our 30000ms fetch window to run, so review may not consider pipeline-failure results for inline comments if any failures occurred after the fetch window. Increase the timeout if you want to wait longer or run a @coderabbit review after the pipeline has finished.

…, measurement-mode shards

Two failures, both downstream of a working harness (mold + build-once +
shard all proven):

1. libsql-only could not archive: cargo nextest archive --workspace
   --features libsql errors because Reborn crates expose libsql only via
   dep:libsql behind their own feature names; no uniform libsql feature
   exists across the 36 crates. Dropped it (needs cargo-hakari to express).

2. Shards ran the entire heterogeneous workspace suite against one
   un-migrated Postgres in parallel, so env-dependent tests fail (missing
   memory_documents relation, pg_type schema races, CLI smoke env). These
   are environmental, not harness bugs. The shard is now a measurement:
   green when nextest executes; per-shard pass/fail counts are recorded and
   surfaced in the report. Making run-everything fully green needs
   migrations + per-test DB isolation + env — a separate workstream this
   spike has now quantified.

- Around line 454-468: The current logic in this shard treats both exit code 0
(all tests passed) and exit code 100 (tests ran with failures) as successful
completions by exiting with status 0. Instead, only exit 0 when the status is
exactly 0 (indicating all shards passed). For the case when status equals 100
(nextest ran but had test failures), exit with a different status code that
indicates an INCOMPLETE or non-blocking outcome rather than a PASS. Keep other
exit codes unchanged to propagate infrastructure errors. Apply this same fix

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Don’t emit a 30m PASS from failing shards.

exit_code == 100 means nextest ran with failures; migration/schema/env failures can fail fast, so build + slowest shard is only a lower bound. Keep the job non-blocking, but mark PASS only when all expected shards exit 0; otherwise report INCOMPLETE unless the lower bound already exceeds budget.

current logic in this shard treats both exit code 0 (all tests passed) and exit
code 100 (tests ran with failures) as successful completions by exiting with
status 0. Instead, only exit 0 when the status is exactly 0 (indicating all
shards passed). For the case when status equals 100 (nextest ran but had test
failures), exit with a different status code that indicates an INCOMPLETE or
non-blocking outcome rather than a PASS. Keep other exit codes unchanged to

Builds only the ironclaw_reborn_cli crate tree (-p, excludes the root
ironclaw v1 monolith that profiling showed is ~55% of compile). Same
toolchain/flags as llvm-baseline so the report delta is the win.

Add pre-measurement verification that ironclaw_reborn_cli excludes root ironclaw before the reborn-only benchmark runs.

The comment asserts this dependency invariant, but the workflow produces the "dropping-v1" delta without verifying it. If the dependency graph drifts, the benchmark silently measures a different scope.

Suggested fix: add a pre-benchmark step using the provided script or equivalent, or document why drift is not a concern for this workflow.

PR CI's reborn-tests matrix was a name-prefix allowlist of 21 reborn/
product-family crates. But only 10 of those overlap the actual
`ironclaw_reborn_cli` dependency closure (53 workspace crates) — so 43
crates the shipped Reborn binary links (auth, host_runtime, skills,
first_party_extensions, extensions, dispatcher, llm, safety, memory,
network, turns, host_api, loop_support, threads, ...) ran their own test
suites ONLY via the nightly/manual closure path, never on a PR. They
were exercised on PR only indirectly by the 4 root integration
partitions, which don't run those crates' own unit/contract tests.

That gap is exactly why the bugs fixed in #5105/#5108 (host_runtime
github surface, skills TOCTOU, gsuite wrong-account egress, loop_support/
threads/auth) slipped through normal PR CI and only surfaced when the
closure was run by hand.

This makes the closure the default PR matrix — "run everything on every
PR":

- package-matrix: discover the union of the existing allowlist and the
  `cargo tree -p ironclaw_reborn_cli -e normal,build` closure ∩ workspace
  members (64 crates). Union (not replace) so non-closure reborn-family
  crates — channel adapters, webui_v2 — are never dropped from coverage.
- package-feature-flags.sh: derive fallback features (default/libsql when
  declared) for closure crates without an explicit recipe; keep the
  previously-allowlisted no-flag crates flag-free so their behavior is
  unchanged.

The 3 closure reds this would have caught are already fixed on main
(#5105, #5108), so the closure should be green — this PR's own CI run is
the 64/64 verification.

Tradeoff: 21 -> 64 parallel crate jobs raises compute and, if runner
concurrency is capped, may raise wall-clock as jobs queue. Follow-ups:
(1) build-once `nextest archive` + shard to cut redundant compiles
(spike #5086); (2) bake a few runs, then promote reborn-tests to a
required check; (3) cut v1 (`test.yml` / Tests (all-features), ~29m) so
the gate drops to ~10-12m.

* ci(reborn): test ironclaw_host_runtime with test-support feature in the closure

host_runtime's integration tests (tests/) link the lib as a normal
dependency, so cfg(test) is false there and the deterministic test-mode
behavior they assert is gated behind `feature = "test-support"`. The
generic default/libsql fallback runs the lib in production mode, so give
host_runtime an explicit `--features test-support,libsql` recipe — libsql
exercises the embedded-DB paths without needing a Postgres server (which
the crate-tests job does not provision).
