Inline comments:
In `@xtest/conftest.py`:
- Around line 322-345: Update _parametrize_bench_cells so that, when --bench is
absent, benchmark tests are deselected rather than parametrized with an empty
bench_cell set. Use pytest’s collection-time deselection mechanism for the
affected metafunc, while preserving the existing cell derivation and
parametrization when --bench is enabled.
In `@xtest/fixtures/bench.py`:
- Around line 140-147: Update the payload generation loop to derive an
independent deterministic RNG for each payload from bench_config.seed and
payload.label, then use it for randbytes so cached or regenerated earlier
payloads do not affect later payload contents. Preserve the existing cache
validation and output mapping behavior.
- Around line 78-87: Update the fallback baseline selection in the
installed-release path to exclude prerelease builds before ordering, using a
clean-tag or dedicated final-release predicate such as the relevant helper from
tdfs.py. Keep the existing no-releases error and semantic-version max selection
for final releases, and ensure prerelease tags cannot become the selected
baseline.
In `@xtest/perf/measure.py`:
- Around line 136-163: Update the subprocess setup and watchdog logic in the
measurement function: start the child in its own session, have _kill signal the
entire process group with signal-based group termination, and record timed_out
only when the child is still running. Synchronize _kill with the post-os.wait4
bookkeeping using a threading.Lock so a late timer cannot mark a successful run
as timed out or signal a reused PID; retain watchdog cancellation and existing
timeout reporting.
In `@xtest/perf/runner.py`:
- Around line 342-354: Update analyze and the gate API so controls are tracked
per SDK rather than retaining a single last control_key; pass the SDK-to-control
mapping into apply_multiplicity_control, use each SDK’s control for matching
comparisons, and exclude all control keys from ordinary comparison adjustment.
- Around line 226-231: Update the warm-up loop in the runner around one_round
and config.warmup to check the absolute budget deadline before each round, stop
when it has passed, and raise BudgetExhausted with a clear warm-up-specific
reason instead of entering the measured loop without data.
In `@xtest/perf/stats.py`:
- Around line 143-166: In the BCa bootstrap handling around
_scipy_stats.bootstrap, replace the invalid exception clause with a Python 3
tuple exception and use warnings.catch_warnings() to promote RuntimeWarning to
an exception, allowing the existing percentile fallback to run for degenerate
intervals. Preserve the finite-bound checks and fallback behavior.

Correct the CI rationale.
Line 72 states that the CI condition cannot fire on pure noise. A 95% confidence interval can exclude the true effect through sampling variation. The CI condition can therefore fire without a real regression. State that the CI provides an effect-size bound, while the BH-adjusted test limits false discoveries across cells.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Disarm the timer before the wait can no longer be interrupted.
_Timeout can be raised after os.wait4 returns and before signal.setitimer(..., 0) runs in the finally block. In that window the exception escapes main, no result file is written, and measure() reports "the measurement launcher did not report". The child had already exited successfully, so a run that finished just under the timeout is reported as a measurement failure.
Catch _Timeout around the disarm-and-report path so a late alarm cannot escape.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Enforce the deadline during each invocation.
The deadline is checked only before one_round. Each invocation still receives config.timeout_s, which defaults to 600 seconds. A warm-up or first measured round that starts just before its deadline can exceed it by up to two invocation timeouts.
Cap each invocation timeout by the remaining cell budget. If a paired round cannot complete before the deadline, discard its partial data and stop the cell as budget-exhausted. This preserves pairing and prevents one cell from consuming later cells' shared budget or exceeding the workflow timeout.

Source: Coding guidelines
Nothing in this repo measured the cost of an SDK operation, so a performance regression in any SDK shipped silently. The obvious design -- record timings, store them, compare to last week -- does not work on GitHub-hosted runners. CPU models vary, tenancy is shared, and steal time is unbounded, so run-to-run variation on identical code exceeds any regression worth catching. A historical gate would produce false alarms until people muted it. So no history is stored and no absolute number is ever compared. Each cell runs the newest installed release and the branch build on the *same runner*, paired within randomized interleaved rounds. Runner speed is a shared term that cancels in the per-round ratio. Verdicts come from the median log-ratio with a BCa bootstrap CI, a one-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Benjamini-Hochberg control across the run. A cell fails only when the CI lower bound clears 1.15x *and* the adjusted p clears 0.05: the interval clause cannot fire on noise, and the p clause cannot fire on a trivial effect that got lucky across ~14 comparisons. Two guards make the verdict honest rather than merely computed: - An A/A control per SDK compares the baseline against itself through the identical pipeline, so its true ratio is 1.0 and anything it reports is the harness's own error. If it trips, the run reports but does not fail. Its interval width is the empirical noise floor; if that is wider than the threshold the run had no power, and no cell may report PASS. "We could not tell" must never be reported as "no regression". - Rounds stop on attained CI precision, never on significance. Stopping when p drops below alpha is optional stopping and inflates the false positive rate well past nominal. This is easy to "optimize" away -- significance-stopping finishes sooner -- and doing so silently invalidates every number the job produces. Confounders are pinned rather than hoped away: same plaintext, same RSA attribute, one container and target mode for both arms, and for decrypt both arms read one baseline-produced ciphertext, since letting each arm read its own output would measure two different files. A cell skips with a stated reason when the arms disagree on a feature in the measured path. Wall clock and peak RSS gate the build; CPU time is reported but never fails. Measurement uses Popen + os.wait4 rather than getrusage(CHILDREN), whose ru_maxrss is a process-lifetime high-water mark and so has meaningless deltas. CI runs nightly and on manual dispatch, one runner per SDK, serial -- the xdist guard is a hard error because parallel workers contending for the CPU under measurement would invalidate everything. Never on PRs. The harness tests demonstrate the gate catching a planted 25% slowdown and ignoring a planted 3% one; a gate never shown to do both is not yet known to work.

…bench runner otdfctl Two bugs the first dispatched benchmark run exposed. A run where every cell skipped reported "No regressions" and exited 0: an empty run and a clean run have the same empty regression list, so a benchmark that has quietly stopped measuring can pass indefinitely. GateResult grows a nothing_measured property, the summary says NOTHING MEASURED instead of describing a noise floor it never established, and pytest_sessionfinish fails the run. The bench job only installed the SDK under measurement, but conftest.py loads otdfctl at import time to provision attributes and the KAS registry, so the java and js runners died during collection on a missing sdk/go/dist/main/ otdfctl.sh. Every bench runner now configures and builds go for otdfctl, and OTDFCTL_HEADS points at go's heads rather than the matrix SDK's.

X-Test Failure Report |

Adds a paired A/B performance regression benchmark for the SDK CLIs, plus the CI job that runs it nightly.
Two builds — the newest installed release and the branch build — are measured on the same runner, interleaved round by round, and only their ratio is reported. Nothing is compared against stored history, because absolute timings from a hosted runner are not comparable across runs.
📖
xtest/perf/README.mddocuments this in full: section 1 is how to read a result (for SDK/platform developers whose build gets flagged), section 2 is how the harness works and why (for whoever maintains it). This description covers only what a reviewer needs.What's here
perf/stats.pyperf/measure.py,perf/_launcher.pyperf/runner.pyperf/report.pyperf/cells.pyxtest/fixtures/bench.py,xtest/test_benchmarks.py,xtest/conftest.py.github/workflows/xtest.yml(nightlybenchjob),.github/workflows/check.yml(harness unit tests on every PR)Nothing is collected without
--bench. The nightly job adds ~45 min per SDK on its own runner; PRs are unaffected.Where to focus review
The decision rule (
stats.py). A cell fails only if the 95% CI lower bound exceeds 1.15x and the BH-adjusted p < 0.05. Both clauses are load-bearing — the module docstring argues why neither is redundant. If you disagree with the threshold or alpha, that's the conversation to have.Stopping on precision, never significance (
runner.py). The loop ends when the CI is narrow enough, never when p drops below alpha. Stopping on significance is optional stopping and silently invalidates every number the job produces. It would also be faster, which is what makes it a tempting future "optimization" — hence the docstring and the_precise_enoughcomment.The A/A control. Each SDK compares its baseline against itself through the identical pipeline; true ratio 1.0 by construction. If it trips, the run cannot fail the build. Its interval width is the noise floor, and a cell whose floor is wider than the threshold reports INCONCLUSIVE rather than PASS — "we could not tell" must not read as "no regression".
Why measurement needs a separate process (
_launcher.py). On Linux a forked child inherits the parent's RSS accounting and exec does not clear it, so measuring from pytest reports pytest's ~165 MiB for every cell — a stable1.000xthat looks like a clean pass.posix_spawnandsh -c 'exec'were both measured and neither helps. Two things in that file look wrong and aren't (except BaseExceptionin the forked child;killpg/SIGKILLon timeout); both are commented, and both are flagged by SonarCloud as hotspots needing a "safe" review rather than a code change.Sonar item declined:
runner.py:316suggests>in place ofnot (... <= ...). Not equivalent under NaN — an unusable interval must read as "keep going", andNaN > bisFalse, which would end the loop and call it precise. Kept with a comment andNOSONAR.Testing
117 offline tests — no platform, no subprocesses, injected clock and measurement function, so a 40-round cell runs in microseconds:
The gate is tested against planted regressions: a 25% slowdown must be caught, a 2% slowdown must not be, and an A/A pair must not fire. These run on every PR via
check.yml.Not yet exercised: the benchmark has never run end-to-end against real SDKs. The first nightly is where a wrong payload size or a shim that ignores
--outputwould surface.Summary by CodeRabbit
