From 218a4f5a55bff81e0bc0e4bcbeff14f5ff4351dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Burak Yigit Kaya Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 21:31:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf(scan): fast-path known-binary extensions in classifyByExtension MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Extends the existing text-extension allowlist with a companion `BINARY_EXTENSIONS` set (images, fonts, archives, media, documents, executables, databases, generic binary). Files matching these return `{ isBinary: true }` from `classifyByExtension` without a disk read, skipping the 8 KB NUL-sniff that otherwise costs ~30-50 µs per file. ## Scope Only helps callers that don't set `extensions` — walker hits `classifyFile`'s sniff path for every file whose extension is neither text nor (now) binary. Production callers with an explicit extensions set (`scanCodeForDsns`, `sourcemap/inject`) already short-circuit classifyFile and see no change. The primary beneficiary is the init-wizard grep path (`collectGrep` called without `extensions`), which the agent uses to find user-supplied patterns across the project tree. ## Correctness The included extensions are unambiguously binary by file-format spec — misclassifying one would require someone to, e.g., save plain text as `.png`. The conservative rule: if there's any realistic chance the file is text (`.log`, `.lock`, `.map`, `.svg`, `.yaml`, `.xml`, etc.), it's NOT in the list and falls through to the NUL-sniff. `.svg` specifically is XML text and is excluded. ## Measured impact (synthetic/large fixture, 10k files, 1000 `.bin`) - `scan.walk` 240ms → 217ms (−10%) - `scan.walk.noExt` 286ms → 275ms (−4%) - `detectDsn.cold` 4.63ms → 3.95ms (−15%) - Other ops unchanged (they set `extensions` and skip classifyFile) ## Test plan - [x] `bunx tsc --noEmit` — clean - [x] `bun run lint` — clean - [x] `bun test test/lib/scan/binary` — 19 pass, 0 fail - [x] `bun test test/lib/scan test/lib/dsn test/lib/sourcemap test/lib/init` — 588 pass - [x] `bun test test/lib test/commands test/types` — 5705 pass - [x] `bun run bench --size large` — wins as listed, no regressions --- src/lib/scan/binary.ts | 128 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- test/lib/scan/binary.test.ts | 29 ++++++-- 2 files changed, 140 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/lib/scan/binary.ts b/src/lib/scan/binary.ts index ab521c8a6..d652b5a05 100644 --- a/src/lib/scan/binary.ts +++ b/src/lib/scan/binary.ts @@ -9,9 +9,10 @@ * * Two entry points: * - * - `classifyByExtension` — O(1) fast path.

MSVC compiler `.obj` outputs live in `build/`/`target/` dirs which `DEFAULT_SKIP_DIRS` prunes anyway, so surviving `.obj` files are disproportionately text Wavefront models. - `.dump` and `.dat` have no format spec at all. `.dump` is commonly plain-text SQL (both `pg_dump` and `mysqldump` default to text output); `.dat` is used for countless text data formats. - Also removed `.bin`. Even though it's our fixture's synthetic binary, the real-world `.bin` namespace spans firmware blobs AND text dumps — no format spec. The NUL-sniff classifies it correctly by content. All three fall back to the NUL-sniff which classifies by actual content. This trades ~30µs per file for correctness on the misclassified-text case, where `collectGrep` would have silently skipped text matches. Tests updated: moved `.bin` from the "known binary" case to the "ambiguous, must sniff" case; added `.obj`, `.dat`, `.dump` to the same group; added `.pdf` and `.wasm` to the positive case for more varied coverage. --- src/lib/scan/binary.ts | 20 ++++++++++++++------ test/lib/scan/binary.test.ts | 14 ++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/lib/scan/binary.ts b/src/lib/scan/binary.ts index d652b5a05..b6173cd2c 100644 --- a/src/lib/scan/binary.ts +++ b/src/lib/scan/binary.ts @@ -92,6 +92,10 @@ export const BINARY_EXTENSIONS: ReadonlySet = new Set([ ".ods", ".odp", // Executables and compiled artifacts + // NOTE: `.obj` is deliberately EXCLUDED — it's shared with the + // Wavefront OBJ 3D model format (plain-text ASCII), common in + // game-dev / AR / 3D-printing repos.

Added a `binaryExtensions` field to `FixtureSpec` (backward-compat: defaults to `[".bin"]` when unspecified). All three presets now use a realistic webapp mix: `.png .jpg .woff2 .mp3 .pdf .bin`. Five out of six hit the fast-path; `.bin` still falls through to the NUL-sniff so both code paths are exercised. The spec-hash update means the cached fixture directory gets a new hash, so benches regenerate cleanly — the old `.bin`-only tree is obsolete and would confuse future runs. ## Measured impact On the regenerated `fx-large` fixture (10k files, ~1000 binary blobs distributed across 6 extensions — ~850 hit the fast-path, ~150 `.bin` fall through to sniff): | op | baseline (main) | with PR | Δ | |---|---:|---:|---:| | `walkFiles` no-ext **parallel** (conc=4) | 290.4ms | 273.7ms | **−6%** | | `walkFiles` no-ext **serial** (conc=1) | 446.5ms | 383.1ms | **−14%** | | `collectGrep` zero-match uncapped | 312.3ms | 295.9ms | **−5%** | | `collectGrep` zero-match cap=100 | 316.9ms | 304.2ms | **−4%** | Serial walker benefits more (less I/O overlap to hide the sniff).
