concatList.Size() recomputes the total size by recursively calling Size() on prevList and nextList. After N concatenations, Size() on each iteration produces O(N^2) total time, bypassing CostLimit. Cache the result in a sync.Once field so repeated calls return in O(1).

According to your last comment, I have added a newConcatList() constructor that precomputes the size, both Add() methods go through it now and removed the sync. |

concatList.Size()recomputes the total size by recursively callingSize()onprevListandnextList. After N concatenation operations, the resulting tree has depth N, and eachSize()call traverses the full tree. List operations likeexists(),all(), andfilter()callSize()on each iteration, producing O(N^2) total time.This means the CEL cost tracker (which uses
Size()for cost estimation) reports O(N) cost while the actual evaluation time is O(N^2), bypassingCostLimit.With N=1000 and
CostLimitset: reported cost is 17011 (within budget), but actual evaluation takes 12s (706x the expected time).The fix caches the computed size in a
sync.Oncefield so repeated calls return in O(1).Files changed:
