perf: Hot reload's source snapshot capture lists assemblies from the compiled files instead of asking Unity on the main thread - #3283
Merged

…ir PDBs The capture no longer asks Unity's compilation pipeline for the assembly list, which only answers on the main thread. It lists the dlls in the compiled assemblies folder that have a PDB beside them and reads an assembly's sources from its PDB's document table, which runs on any thread. - The stamp is checked before the PDB is read, so only the assemblies whose dll changed pay for reading their PDB. - A read-only package's assembly gets a marker in the stamp's form, so later captures skip its PDB until the dll changes. - An assembly whose PDB belongs to another build, as while a compile replaces them, is skipped without a stamp instead of failing the capture. - The startup touches the compilation assembly list once so its compilationStarted subscription is made on the main thread, and every fetch of that list is logged so the move of GetAssemblies out of the domain load can be measured.
… dlls and their PDBs getAssembliesMs now times the dll listing, pdbSourcesMs and assembliesSkippedPdbMismatch are new, the read-only marker is described, and the new compilation assemblies fetched entry shows where GetAssemblies lands in a domain.

Classify only PDB/DLL mismatches as mismatches.
ReadSourcesOrNull catches the entire ReadSources delegate. HotReloadPdbDocumentIndex.ReadCodeViewGuid can throw InvalidOperationException when the DLL has no CodeView entry. That is not a PDB/DLL GUID mismatch. The current catch counts it as a mismatch and bypasses the per-assembly warning.
The candidate receives no stamp, so capture retries it on the next domain. It does not remain skipped until the DLL changes. FromDocuments uses loops and collections; it does not contain the claimed LINQ path.
Use a dedicated exception for the GUID mismatch. Route other InvalidOperationException values through the per-assembly warning path.

Combining the project root with the "Library/ScriptAssemblies" constant keeps its "/" on Windows, while the listing returns paths with "\" throughout, so the path assertions would fail there whatever the listing did.

Summary
CompilationPipeline.GetAssemblies, which only answers on the main thread). It lists the compiled dlls that have a PDB beside them and reads an assembly's sources from its PDB, both of which can run on any thread.User Impact
GetAssembliesin each domain, so the domain load paid for listing every compilation assembly on the main thread (hundreds of milliseconds on a large project), even after a one-line edit.GetAssembliesmoves to whichever later caller needs the list first, and a new log entry shows where that happens.Changes
HotReloadCaptureAssemblyEnumerator.ListCompiledlists the dlls inCompiledAssemblyLayout.CompiledAssembliesDirectory(the main project's for a Virtual Player) that have a PDB, in ordinal order.ReadSourcesreads the PDB's document table and maps it to asset paths and the read-only classification through the existingHotReloadCompiledSourceMap.HotReloadSourceSnapshotter.CaptureAssembliestakes the per-assembly steps in this order (one row per case, each pinned by a test):CaptureAssemblies_ImmutableMarkerMatchingTheDll_SkipsWithoutReadingThePdbCaptureAssemblies_UnchangedStamp_SkipsWithoutReadingThePdbCaptureAssemblies_ImmutablePackageAssembly_WritesTheMarkerAndCopiesNothingCaptureAssemblies_PdbOfAnotherBuild_SkipsThatAssemblyAndCapturesTheRestListCompiled_DllWithoutPdb_IsNotListed, existing..._WhenCompiledOutputIsMissing_...CaptureAssemblies_StaleImmutableMarker_IsIgnoredWhenTheDllChangedCaptureAssemblies_WhenAssemblyHasNoSources_WritesNothing, now fed a real PDB whose sources lie outside the temporary root<assemblyName>.immutablebeside the snapshot directories, in the stamp'stag,mtime,lengthform withimmutablewhere the stamp has the MVID, so writing it does not open the dll. The stale-directory cleanup only removes<name>-<MVID>directories, so it leaves the marker alone.CaptureAssembliestakes the PDB source reader as an argument, so tests can see whether a PDB was read and can name sources for a planted copy of this test assembly's PDB, whose real sources lie outside a temporary root. It also takes aCancellationToken, checked between assemblies; the capture passesCancellationToken.Noneuntil it moves off the main thread.HotReloadSnapshotCaptureInputsno longer carries the assembly list;ReadOnMainThreadno longer callsGetAssemblies. The asset-path read-only rule from the previous PR is removed with it, since the PDB source map now decides that.HotReloadCompilationAssemblies.EnsureInitialized()first, so the list'scompilationStartedsubscription is still made on the main thread at domain load now that the capture no longer touches the list.hot_reload_compilation_assemblies_fetchedwithfetchMsandassemblyCount.getAssembliesMsnow times the dll listing; newpdbSourcesMs(reading changed assemblies' PDBs) andassembliesSkippedPdbMismatch.docs/vibe-logs.mdanddocs/hot-reload.mdare updated.Verification

The warnings are the existing test fixtures' (CS0067 / CS0414 / CS0436).scripts/check-file-length.shandscripts/check-code-complexity.sh: no findings.HotReloadCaptureAssemblyEnumeratorTests.CompiledAssemblyEnumeration_ListsTheSameAssembliesAndSourcesAsGetAssemblies: 112 assemblies listed from disk, the same 112 names Unity lists with a PDB beside the dll; the read-only classification agrees with the Package Manager for all of them (48 read-only); for the 64 editable ones the PDB sources equal Unity'ssourceFiles(2311 sources). As in the existing cross-check, the sources of read-only assemblies are not compared: the capture copies none of them, and two such packages list files their PDB does not. Those are files with no method body (interfaces, enums, an assembly-attribute file, a file emptied by#if): 3 inUnity.Collections, 19 inUnity.MemoryProfiler.Editor. The compiler's own PDB in the Bee artifacts lists them (57 and 227 documents); the IL post-processed PDB that lands inLibrary/ScriptAssembliesdoes not (54 and 208), so an IL post-processor rewrote those two PDBs and dropped the documents no sequence point refers to. An editable assembly rewritten the same way would lose the same kind of file from the capture, but that changes nothing: a run verifies a snapshot against the PDB's document, so such a file already had no baseline (NoDocumentInPdb) whether or not a copy existed.HotReloadSourceSnapshotTests,HotReloadSourceSnapshotterTests,HotReloadSourceSnapshotCaptureTests,HotReloadSnapshotAssemblyEnumerationTests,HotReloadIncrementalSnapshotCaptureTests,HotReloadSnapshotEditedDuringCompileTests,HotReloadCompiledSourceCrossCheckTests,HotReloadCompiledSourceMapTests,PausePointScriptPathFormTests,HotReloadOrchestratorTests,HotReloadDefaultFilesTests,HotReloadSnapshotCaptureInputsTests,HotReloadSnapshotLookupPathTests,HotReloadCompilationAssemblyCacheTests,HotReloadCompilationAssembliesTests,HotReloadEditorStartupTests,HotReloadPdbDocumentTableTests,HotReloadCompilationAssemblyListStoreTests, and the newHotReloadCaptureAssemblyEnumeratorTests...._ImmutableMarkerMatchingTheDll_SkipsWithoutReadingThePdb...._ImmutablePackageAssembly_WritesTheMarkerAndCopiesNothing...._PdbOfAnotherBuild_SkipsThatAssemblyAndCapturesTheRest.ListCompiled_DllWithoutPdb_IsNotListedand..._WhenCompiledOutputIsMissing_...(".pdb").ULOOP_DEBUG: one method-body edit, thenuloop compile.
