perf(fallback): add synchronous fast path - #7
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthrough
ChangesFallback execution handling
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The fallback now uses a synchronous fast path, while several tests may occasionally take that path instead of reliably exercising asynchronous behavior. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to make those tests deterministic. Poem

Greptile SummaryThe PR adds synchronous fast paths to the typed fallback strategy while retaining isolated asynchronous paths for incomplete continuations and fallbacks.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge, with no concrete behavioral regressions identified in the changed fallback paths. The synchronous and asynchronous branches consume each ValueTask once, preserve outcome conversion, and remain enclosed by the pipeline’s strategy exception handling.

|---|---|
| src/Kevlar/Strategies/Fallback/FallbackStrategy.cs | Introduces safe single-consumption ValueTask fast paths while preserving pipeline-level exception and outcome handling. |
| tests/Kevlar.Tests/FallbackEdgeCaseTests.cs | Adds focused tests for asynchronous fallback completion, asynchronous fallback failure, and bypass behavior after asynchronous success. |

Make the asynchronous-path tests deterministic.
Task.Yield() can resume before FallbackStrategy checks ValueTask.IsCompletedSuccessfully. These tests can then pass through the synchronous fast path.
Use an incomplete TaskCompletionSource<int> and assert that the execution remains incomplete before completing it. Apply the same pattern to the successful fallback, failing fallback, and successful primary execution tests.
Proposed test pattern
- var shield = Shield.For<int>().Fallback(static async _ =>
- {
- await Task.Yield();
- return 42;
- });
-
- var result = await shield.ExecuteAsync(_ => throw new InvalidOperationException());
+ var completion = new TaskCompletionSource<int>(
+ TaskCreationOptions.RunContinuationsAsynchronously);
+ var shield = Shield.For<int>().Fallback(_ => new ValueTask<int>(completion.Task));
+
+ var execution = shield.ExecuteAsync(_ => throw new InvalidOperationException()).AsTask();
+ await Assert.That(execution.IsCompleted).IsFalse();
+ completion.SetResult(42);
+ var result = await execution;Also applies to: 32-36, 52-56

Summary
Benchmark evidence
Linked run 32419743591 had two Polly wins:
Timeout pooling merged to main after linked run in PR #6, so no further timeout change is needed here. Same-machine current-main baseline measured fallback at Kevlar 88.31 ns versus Polly 84.14 ns. This branch lowers Kevlar to 63.44 ns: 28.2% faster than current main and 25.0% faster than Polly.
Triggered fallback also moves from Kevlar 1,366.55 ns versus Polly 1,325.69 ns to Kevlar 1,248.50 ns versus Polly 1,309.92 ns.
