Summary

User Impact

  • Before: the only figure was captureMs in hot_reload_source_snapshot_captured. A capture that held the main thread for one or more seconds after a compile did not show which part was slow.
  • After: one hot_reload_source_snapshot_breakdown entry per capture gives the time of each phase and how much work it did. Only builds with ULOOP_DEBUG write it, like every VibeLog entry. Nothing a user sees without debug logging changes.

Changes

  • New HotReloadSnapshotCaptureStats collects the time of each phase and the counts of one capture.
    • Phases: listing assemblies, Package Manager lookup, stamps, MVID read, stat, read/write, PDB check, publish, cleanup.
    • Counts: assemblies (total, immutable, unchanged, captured), files and bytes copied, files checked against the PDB.
  • CaptureAssemblies now returns these stats, and CaptureAfterDomainReload writes one breakdown entry just before the existing captured entry. The entry is written even when Unity lists no assembly, and not when the capture throws. CaptureAtomically takes the stats as a new last argument.
  • Branches, ordering and exception handling are unchanged. This PR only adds timing.
  • docs/vibe-logs.md describes the new entry and each of its fields.

Verification

  • Local, Unity 2022.3, uloop compile: 0 errors. The only warnings are pre-existing ones in test fixtures; none points at a changed file.
  • EditMode, one class at a time, 0 failed:
    • HotReloadSnapshotAssemblyEnumerationTests 22/22
    • HotReloadSourceSnapshotTests 19/19
    • HotReloadSourceSnapshotterTests 9/9
    • HotReloadSnapshotEditedDuringCompileTests 4/4
  • The two new tests ran (regex filter on their names: 2/2 passed):
    • CaptureAssemblies_ReturnsWhatItCopiedAndWhatItSkipped
    • CaptureAfterDomainReload_LogsOneBreakdownWithEveryPhase
  • filesChecked is pinned by the two tests around the recorded compile start: one checked file inside the window, none of one copied outside it. Two mutations each failed one of them:
    • dropping the increment
    • counting every copy as checked
  • scripts/check-file-length.sh and scripts/check-code-complexity.sh report no findings.
  • Live check on the development project. I changed one method body in a sample editor script, ran uloop compile, then reverted the change and compiled again. The two breakdowns:
field edit revert
getAssembliesMs 86 70
packageLookupMs 2 1
stampMs 13 13
mvidMs 582 572
statMs 0 0
readWriteMs 2 1
pdbCheckMs 0 0
publishMs 1 0
cleanupMs 2 1
totalMs 704 669
captureMs (captured entry) 716 680
assemblies / immutable / unchanged / captured 112 / 48 / 63 / 1 112 / 48 / 63 / 1
filesCopied / bytesCopied / filesChecked 6 / 8654 / 0 6 / 8649 / 0
  • The phases add up to within 16 ms and 11 ms of totalMs (2.3% and 1.6%).
  • filesCopied equals the source count of the edited assembly.
  • On this small project, most of the time is the MVID read of the one recompiled dll.

A compile on a large project spends one to several seconds of the main
thread in the source snapshot capture, and the single captureMs figure
does not say which phase to attack. The capture now sums the time of
each phase and its counts, returns them from CaptureAssemblies, and
writes one hot_reload_source_snapshot_breakdown entry per capture.
Behavior is unchanged.

Snapshot capture now records phase timings, assembly outcomes, copied-file counts, and copied bytes. The snapshotter emits these metrics in a breakdown log, with tests and documentation covering the reported fields.

The snapshotter records assembly-level timings and outcomes, then emits a breakdown event. Tests check capture counts, copied bytes, and logged fields. The documentation describes the event and its timing fields.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 225f3

Capture logs can report an assembly as captured with zero copied files when its sources are missing or unreadable. This is a bounded observability ambiguity; clarify the metric description before relying on it.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 225f3

The change adds debug-only aggregate timings and counts without changing access controls or captured-data publication. No material security risk was identified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The introduced exposure is aggregate performance information through the existing debug logger. The concrete routed test changes do not create a new attacker-facing execution interface or grant additional authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Existing DLL metadata, compile-start timestamps, and PDB verification remain the inputs governing snapshot identity and source validity. The added measurements do not replace these controls, and snapshot readers continue to require published, verified content.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Breakdown emission occurs after snapshot publication, cleanup, and stamp writing. If logging exceptionally prevents callback completion, the unchanged wrapper leaves its captured flag unset and permits retry rather than declaring incomplete work complete. Logger file-save failures already have fallback handling.

117-118: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Correct the stale timing descriptions.

The _captured guard runs before captureMs starts, so captureMs excludes that guard. totalMs includes work that the phase timers do not measure. Name that work explicitly.

Suggested documentation fix
-  The phases add up to `totalMs` except for the loop overhead; `captureMs` in the captured entry
-  also includes the gate.
+  The phase timings omit work such as `Directory.CreateDirectory`, per-assembly `File.Exists` and
+  `FileInfo` checks, and loop/control overhead, so their sum can be lower than `totalMs`.
+  `captureMs` in the captured entry covers the capture callback and completion bookkeeping, but
+  excludes the `_captured` guard.

docs/vibe-logs.md:118-119
📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the timing-boundary description.

totalMs also includes snapshot-root path setup and directory creation, so the phase sum can differ from totalMs by more than loop overhead. captureMs starts after the _captured gate check, so it does not measure the complete gate duration. Operators may misattribute setup time and treat captureMs as an end-to-end capture measurement.

Suggested fix
-  The phases add up to `totalMs` except for the loop overhead; `captureMs` in the captured entry
-  also includes the gate.
+  The phases do not cover all of `totalMs`: it also includes snapshot-root path setup and directory
+  creation, in addition to loop overhead. `captureMs` starts after the `_captured` gate check and
+  measures the snapshotter call and wrapper work.

No test told a capture that counts every copy as checked from one that
counts none. The two tests around the recorded compile start now also
assert one checked file when the source falls inside the window and
none, of one copied, when it does not.
The gate's done check runs before its stopwatch starts, so the gap is
the breakdown entry's own synchronous write, not the gate.

🟡 Minor · Describe assembliesCaptured as published snapshot directories. · vibe-logs.md:110-114

docs/vibe-logs.md:110-114
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe assembliesCaptured as published snapshot directories.

When an assembly has source paths but every source copy is skipped, CaptureAtomically still publishes the snapshot directory. CaptureAssemblyIfNeeded then increments assembliesCaptured, while filesCopied remains zero. The current description therefore overstates what this metric counts and can mislead capture-performance analysis.

Suggested fix
-  - `assembliesCaptured`: those whose sources were copied into a new snapshot directory.
+  - `assembliesCaptured`: those for which a new snapshot directory was published.
