Issue Reference

No issue filed. Found by heap-profiling an LLM call after #5111 (now merged).

This branch also carries #5119 ("Run schema-aligned parsing as VM natives"), which was merged into it: SAP as $rust_function natives, the shared definition reader, the @skip fix, and the parse memory guards. See #5119 for its description and measurements.

Changes

After #5111, one small LLM call still allocated 3.4 MB, and each prompt message added 1.56 MB (debug build). A heap profile (dhat) put 77% of it in runtime match type tests (IsType / NarrowBind → value_matches_template → normalize::is_subtype):

  • openai.internal._prune_nulls (and the Bedrock copy) runs once per node of the request JSON and tests map<string, baml.json.json>, then baml.json.json[].
  • A hit is cheap (the sub == sup fast path). A miss is not: heads_definitely_differ decided only same-variant nominal pairs, so a string or a list tested against map<string, json> canonicalized both sides and expanded the recursive json alias through the μ automaton: about 187 KB per string, 377 KB per list.

Two fixes:

  1. Cross-category refutation in the type algebra (baml_type/src/normalize.rs). heads_definitely_differ and its interned twin now also return true when both heads have a Category and the categories differ, so all five entry points (is_subtype/equivalent, the interned free functions, InternedCanonicalCache) reject those pairs before canonicalizing. Heads that canonicalization can rewrite or that a context-driven rule relates across kinds — alias, union, projection, interface, type variable, inference variable, unknown, never, error — have no category and are never refuted. A literal and its base, and an enum variant and its enum, share a category. This follows TYPE_SYSTEM.md §Concrete Types (no concrete type is a subtype of another); interface membership, associated types, and type variables stay with the full algebra. The Ty and interned category tables come from one macro_rules! table.
  2. Tag test for narrowing container arms (baml_compiler2_mir/src/lower.rs). MIR already emits a coarse IsTypeTag when the scrutinee's static type proves it suffices (parametric_arm_tag_sufficient), and a json parameter is already unfolded to … | json[] | map<string, json>. But a let x: T arm tests a snapshot of the scrutinee, and the guard compared against the match local only, so the shortcut never fired for narrowing arms. MatchScrutinee now records snapshot copies, and both the container-arm gate and the switch gate ask whether the tested local holds the scrutinee. An element-specific arm (let xs: int[] on a json scrutinee) stays structural.
Measure (debug build) #5111 this PR
Bytes allocated per small LLM call about 3.4 MB about 0.70 MB
Extra bytes per call per prompt message about 1.56 MB about 35 KB

Testing

  • baml_type unit tests: an oracle over a 37-kind corpus (every Ty variant, plus facts that make the interface, type-variable, projection, and recursive-alias rules fire) checks that is_subtype and equivalent give the canonical relation's verdict for every pair, on the plain and the interned paths. Cost tests count the context's alias_def lookups and assert that cross-category pairs never ask for one (they failed before the change). A test pins that rewritable and context-driven kinds are not refuted.
  • MIR tests: json_container_arms_test_only_the_runtime_tag (failed before) and json_scrutinee_keeps_element_specific_arms_structural.
  • Corpus tests in ns_json_alias/json_alias.baml: every json kind reaches its own arm, and a recursive null-pruning function over nested json gives the right result.
  • Regression test: llm_call_memory.rs call_cost_does_not_grow_with_conversation_length compares a 1-message and a 21-message prompt and bounds the bytes per extra message at 128 KiB (it failed at 1,559,878). The per-call bound drops from 8 MiB to 2 MiB.
  • CI suites, locally: the general job passed 4,891 tests. The snapshot job passed 1,595; its 12 CLI-driven tests (baml_corpus, pack_e2e, type_quiz) stopped only at the local agent-skill check and pass with BAML_AGENT_SKILL_CHECK=off (14 of 14, including type_quiz_conformance and the new corpus tests). No snapshot changed.
  • cargo clippy on the changed crates is clean.

Additional Notes

  • Not done: caching the canonical form of constant type templates in the VM. After these two fixes the type tests cost about nothing in an LLM call, and a cache would hold NormalTy<TypeHead> (no GC head walk) built from facts that runtime impl registration can change.
  • Soundness of fix 2 rests on the same invariant the existing gate uses: a value's runtime container type matches its static type. let j: json = xs with xs: int[] is a type error, so a list in a json slot is stamped json[].

Note

Medium Risk
Changes type subtyping fast paths and MIR match lowering (soundness-sensitive) plus the SAP/LLM parse pipeline; broad test and allocation guards reduce regression risk.

Overview
Cuts LLM-call allocation by fixing two hot paths and moving schema-aligned parsing (SAP) onto the VM.

Type tests on json: Failed runtime match checks used to canonicalize the recursive json alias on every miss (e.g. when pruning request JSON). heads_definitely_differ now rejects cross-category pairs before canonicalization. MIR MatchScrutinee tracks narrowing-arm snapshots so json[] / map<string, json> arms can use coarse LIST/MAP tag tests when the scrutinee is statically json, while arms like int[] stay structural.

SAP: Internal SAP entry points are $rust_function VM natives (not sys ops). Parsing builds a model from declarations the target reaches, writes results directly on the heap (no external value tree), and fills @skip fields with type empty values. Definition extraction is centralized in bex_vm::definitions.

Tests: Corpus and MIR coverage for json container matching; SAP skip-field behavior; llm_call_memory bounds per-call bytes, per-message growth, large/streamed parses, and types only referenced by skipped fields.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added schema-aligned parsing that fills missing skipped fields with appropriate empty values.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved JSON matching so list and map patterns distinguish containers from scalars while preserving structural checks for typed collections.
    • Improved type comparisons to reject incompatible concrete types without disrupting checks that depend on aliases or context.
  • Performance
    • Tightened the per-call allocation limit for LLM calls and added limits for allocation growth as conversations get longer.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for nested removal of null-valued JSON entries, JSON parsing and stringifying, skipped fields, and allocation limits.

aaronvg and others added 2 commits October 2, 2026 15:46
Every LLM parse built a schema-aligned-parsing model of every class, enum, and type alias in the program, the standard library included: about 4 MB per model and two models per call, held by a VM object whose native size the GC budget does not count. A busy engine never collected it, so RSS grew with the call count.

TypeCtx::for_target now keeps only the definitions the parse target reaches, walked with RuntimeTy::visit_heads (the head walk bex_vm::reachable uses). A small LLM call drops from about 13.3 MB to about 3.4 MB allocated, and 400 unrelated classes add about 22 KB per call instead of 6.3 MB.

baml_tests/tests/llm_call_memory.rs counts every allocation with a global allocator and bounds both, so the runtime cannot regress to per-program parse cost again.

… match arms

A runtime match type test that missed canonicalized both sides: heads_definitely_differ decided only same-variant nominal pairs, so a string or a list tested against map<string, json> expanded the recursive json alias. openai.internal._prune_nulls tests every node of the request JSON that way, so each prompt message cost about 1.56 MB per LLM call.

heads_definitely_differ and its interned twin now also refute two heads of different categories. Heads that canonicalization can rewrite (alias, union, projection) or that a context-driven rule relates across kinds (interface, type variable) have no category, nor do the sentinels; a literal and its base, and a variant and its enum, share one. One macro table serves the plain and interned kinds.

In MIR, a let x: T arm tests a snapshot of the match scrutinee, so the coarse LIST/MAP tag shortcut never fired for narrowing arms. MatchScrutinee now records the snapshot copies, so json[] and map<string, json> arms on a json scrutinee test only the runtime tag.

A small LLM call drops from about 3.4 MB to 0.7 MB allocated, and a prompt message from 1.56 MB to 35 KB. llm_call_memory.rs bounds both.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes update MIR match lowering and type relations, add JSON alias examples and allocation tests, and move SAP parsing from sys_ops into VM builtins. The VM adds shared declaration readers, target-scoped parsing, heap-value conversion, and typed Rust-data access.

Changes

VM schema-aligned SAP parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define SAP type conversion and model context
baml_language/crates/bex_sap/src/lib.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_sap/src/sap_model/convert.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_sap/src/to_baml_ty.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_sap/src/to_external.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_sap/Cargo.toml
The SAP model now accepts caller-provided definitions. A type-conversion trait maps SAP model types to SapTy; the external-value conversion and target-reachability helper are removed.
Build definitions from reachable declarations
baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/definitions.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/reachable.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/lib.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_engine/src/lib.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_vm/Cargo.toml
The VM adds class and enum definition readers and shared declaration traversal. The engine uses the readers for compiled definitions and runtime overlays.
Parse SAP values into VM values
baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/package_baml/sap.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/package_baml/mod.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/vm.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_vm_types/src/errors.rs
VM natives build parse caches and run final or partial parsing. They convert parsed values to heap values and generate empty values for absent skipped fields. Typed Rust-data access and a SAP-value error are added.
Wire SAP parsing to VM builtins
baml_language/crates/baml_builtins2/baml_std/baml/ns_sap/sap.baml, baml_language/crates/baml_builtins2_codegen/src/extract.rs, baml_language/crates/sys_ops/*, baml_language/crates/sys_ops/Cargo.toml, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_parse_companions/parse_companions.baml
SAP natives change from IO-function placeholders to VM-function placeholders. The sys_ops SAP module and dependency are removed. Tests check builtin extraction and defaults for skipped fields.
Use typed VM Rust-data access
baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/package_baml/csv.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/package_baml/regex.rs
CSV and regex code retrieve typed Rust data through rust_data_field instead of local field inspection and downcasting.

MIR match lowering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track match scrutinee copies
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_mir/src/lower.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/src/compiler2_mir/mod.rs
MIR lowering tracks locals that hold a match scrutinee and uses its static type for switch and parametric tag checks. Tests cover runtime container tags and a structural int[] check.

Type-head mismatch checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Classify type heads and filter mismatches
baml_language/crates/baml_type/src/normalize.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_type/src/normalize/tests.rs
Shared category mappings support cross-category rejection for plain and interned type-head checks. Tests compare relation results across type kinds and check alias lookups and cached verdicts.

JSON alias examples

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add JSON kind and null-removal helpers
baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_json_alias/json_alias.baml
Added map, list, and scalar matching examples. Added recursive null removal for map values and array elements, with a nested JSON serialization test.

LLM call allocation tests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Measure allocations across call scenarios
baml_language/crates/baml_tests/tests/llm_call_memory.rs
Allocation tests cover per-message growth, complete and streamed parsing, and types referenced only by skipped fields. The per-call ceiling decreases from 8 MiB to 2 MiB.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3691a

The streamed-parse test now distinguishes a genuine partial yield from a result available only after the full reply. No actionable mergeability risk remains from the reviewed changes.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3691a

The parsing ownership change warrants review, but inspected paths preserve schema scoping and final-error handling. No introduced security defect was established. Incomplete evidence about interruption and failure cleanup prevents a minimal-risk assessment.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected exposure is caller-supplied parsing text reaching schema coercion and the executing engine's result heap through existing SAP interfaces. The source establishes this in-process scope, but does not establish deployment-specific tenant isolation or process-wide resource limits.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The input text is interpreted against a model selected from the call's generic target. Parsed declaration names are not unrestricted heap lookups: they must resolve through the target-scoped type-tag mapping.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Native dispatch publishes a returned value only on success and converts native errors into VM errors. SAP may allocate child objects before a later conversion fails; the inspected dispatch does not prove immediate allocation rollback or subsequent reclamation timing.
  • observed — The former SAP handlers were synchronous Ready operations, not asynchronous waits. The new native path also runs synchronously. The system-operation dispatcher has a cancellation pre-check, while equivalent interruption behavior for the changed native path remains incompletely verified.

ALLOCATED counts every thread, and cargo test runs a binary's tests on parallel threads, so one test's bytes could land in another test's measurement and fail it at random. Each test now holds a process-wide lock for its whole run. nextest gives each test its own process, so CI never showed it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Base automatically changed from aaron/sap-reachable-types to canary October 3, 2026 06:45
## Issue Reference
No issue filed. Stacked on #5113 (which is stacked on #5111): it removes
`TypeCtx::for_target` from #5111 and extends `llm_call_memory.rs`.
Retarget to `canary` once those merge.

## Changes
Schema-aligned parsing (SAP) was three sys ops (`$rust_io_function`)
although it does no IO: before `spawn`, sys ops were the only way to get
concurrency. As sys ops, each parse:

- received `T` as an owned copy (`SapTy`), and the engine copied the
class and enum tables into the per-call `SysOpContext` (twice more for
runtime-built types);
- built the parse model from those copies (`TypeCtx::for_target`);
- returned a `BexExternalValue` tree that the engine landed on the heap
by looking every class and enum up again by name.

The SAP ops already returned `SysOpOutput::Ready`, so they ran inline on
the VM task under the heap permit. Moving them into the VM changes
nothing about what they block.

This PR makes them VM natives (`$rust_function`,
`bex_vm/src/package_baml/sap.rs`):

- **`_new_parse_cache<T>`** reads `T` from the call's type arguments,
walks the declarations it reaches (`reachable::all_declarations`), reads
each with the shared definition reader, and builds the same
`CompiledSapModel` through the unchanged `TypeCtx::new` / `build_db` /
`convert_ty`. The model stays in the `_ParseCache<T>` `RustData` (one
model per cache, only the types `T` reaches); it holds tagged names,
never heap pointers, because `RustData` is a GC leaf. The instance now
carries its real `T`.
- **`_parse_final` / `_parse_partial`** run jsonish and the coercer as
before and allocate the result directly on the heap, mapping the model's
tagged names back to the declarations the target reaches. Error behavior
is unchanged: a final failure is `baml.errors.LlmClient` with the same
messages, a partial that does not parse yet is `_NoYield`.

Supporting changes:

- **One definition reader** (`bex_vm::definitions`): `class_definition`
/ `enum_definition` replace the engine's three class readers and two
enum readers, which disagreed on `@skip` (the runtime-type overlay
dropped skipped fields; the program table and the runtime-package
overlay kept them flagged). Every consumer (output-format rendering,
`json.schema`, SAP) already filters on the flag, so the reader keeps
skipped fields flagged and drops skipped enum variants.
- **`reachable::all_declarations`**: every declaration a type reaches,
aliases included; `all_nominals` now filters it, and the walk uses a
`HashSet` instead of `Vec::contains`.
- **`BexVm::rust_data_field`**: one helper for "clone the `Arc` out of a
`$rust_type` field", replacing the copies in `regex.rs` and `csv.rs`
(which also reported a misleading `MissingNativeFunction`).
- **Deleted:** `sys_ops/src/sap.rs` and the SAP sys-op impls,
`CompiledSapModel::from_sys_op_context`, `TypeCtx::for_target` /
`reachable_definitions`, and the value half of `bex_sap::to_external`
(the type half remains, renamed `to_baml_ty`). `bex_sap` no longer
depends on `bex_external_types`; `sys_ops` no longer depends on
`bex_sap`.

### Bug fixed: `@skip` fields
Parsing into a class with a `@skip` field failed: SAP drops the field
(the prompt never shows it), and the heap landing required every field
(`Missing field \`age\` in external Instance for class
\`user.Person\``). The native fills a skipped field with its type's
empty value: `null` for nullable types, `0` / `0.0` / `0n`, `false`,
`""`, an empty list or map, a literal's own value, an enum's first
variant, and a class of its fields' empty values. A skipped field whose
type has none (media, functions, a self-containing class) panics with a
message naming the field.

### Memory

Measured with the counting allocator in `llm_call_memory.rs` (debug
build). The gain grows with the size of the parsed output, because the
parse no longer builds an external copy of the value and lands it by
name.

| Parse of a 13 KB JSON reply with 200 items (`Item { id, name, tags
}[]`) | #5113 | this PR |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Final parse (`baml.sap.parse<Item[]>`) | 1,149,933 bytes | 664,622

| Same reply streamed in 52 batches of 256 characters, each reparsed
through one `_ParseCache` (as `ai.stream.Stream` does) | 45,427,554
bytes | 32,301,944 bytes (−29%) |

(SAP's own bytes: the totals minus a baseline function doing the same
work without parsing, about 4-6 KB.)

| Small LLM call (a one-line reply) | #5113 | this PR |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Bytes allocated per call | 699,060 | 687,584 |
| Extra bytes per call from 400 unrelated classes | 21,918 | 0 |
| Extra bytes per call per prompt message | 35,023 | 34,967 |

The streamed case is still large because every batch reparses the whole
text so far; incremental parsing is not in this PR.

## Testing
- [x] `bex_sap` unit tests unchanged and passing (they build `TypeRefDb`
directly).
- [x] New `bex_vm` unit tests: `definitions` keeps skipped fields
flagged and drops skipped variants.
- [x] New corpus test `sap_parse_fills_skipped_fields_with_empty_values`
(failed before with the missing-field error).
- [x] `baml_builtins2_codegen`: `test_sap_parse_is_a_vm_builtin`
replaces the IO-builtin assertion for `_parse_final`.
- [x] New memory guards in `llm_call_memory.rs`:
`large_parse_allocates_little` (limit 900 KiB) and
`streamed_parse_allocates_little` (limit 40 MiB). Both limits sit
between the numbers above, so a return to the external-copy path fails
them.
- [x] Locally, the tests this touches: `bex_sap`, `bex_vm`,
`baml_builtins2_codegen`, `sys_ops`, and the `baml_tests` library plus
`llm_call_memory` and `reflect_call_any` (1616 passed); the corpus
namespaces that parse (`parse_companions`, `generic_union_returns`,
`streaming_partial_parse`, `stdlib_runner_stream_batching`,
`runtime_type_bindings_phase1_wrapped`, `runtime_identity_seams`,
`provider_stdlib`, and every `llm_*` namespace: 498 passed). CI runs the
rest.
- [x] `prek` passes (cargo fmt, cargo clippy, cargo stow, baml fmt).

## Additional Notes
- Not in this PR: yielding to BAML code for custom coercion (the
`YieldToCall` continuation path `baml.json.to<T>` uses), and moving
`ctx.output_format()` / `baml.json.schema`, the last users of the
`SysOpContext` tables, to natives.
- `StreamStateTy` still has no production constructor; left as is.

VM with definition-walk semantics changes.
> 
> **Overview**
> **Schema-aligned parsing (SAP)** moves from async sys ops to **VM
natives** (`baml.sap` uses `$rust_function` with `//baml:mut_vm`).
Parsing no longer copies definition tables into `SysOpContext`, builds
models via `TypeCtx::for_target`, or returns `BexExternalValue` for a
second heap landing—`_new_parse_cache<T>` walks only declarations `T`
reaches on the heap, and `_parse_final` / `_parse_partial` allocate
results directly.
> 
> Supporting cleanup: shared **`bex_vm::definitions`** for class/enum
tables (skipped fields stay flagged),
**`reachable::declarations_reached`**, **`BexVm::rust_data_field`**,
removal of **`sys_ops` SAP** and **`bex_sap::to_external`** (types live
in **`to_baml_ty`**).
> 
> **`@skip` fields** are filled with type empty values instead of
failing parse/landing. New corpus and **allocation guards** in
`llm_call_memory.rs` lock in lower parse memory (~42% on large final
parses).

354-355: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Require a yield before the complete reply.

The loop includes the complete reply, so a parser that yields only for upto == text.length() still makes yields > 0 pass. Count only yields from prefixes shorter than the complete reply.

🐛 Suggested fix
         match (parsed) {{
-            let items: Item[] => {{ yielded = yielded + 1; }},
+            let items: Item[] => {{
+                if (upto < text.length()) {{
+                    yielded = yielded + 1;
+                }}
+            }},
             _ => {{}},
         }};

This improves test coverage. It does not show that the current parser is broken.

The loop ends with the whole reply, so a parser that yields only then would still have passed. Suggested by CodeRabbit.

## Issue Reference
No issue filed. Found while profiling LLM-call memory (see BoundaryML#5111 and
BoundaryML#5113, which this PR does not depend on).

## Changes
`ai.Agent` parsed each accepted candidate twice:

1. `_attempt_turn` decided whether to accept a turn with `_parses`,
which ran `baml.sap.parse<Out>(candidate)` and discarded the value.
2. `run` then ran `baml.sap.parse<Out>(candidate)` again on the same
text to get the result.

On `canary` every parse builds a parse model, so the second parse
doubled that cost. This PR keeps the accepting parse:

- `_parses` splits into `_fits_without_text<Out>(turn) -> bool?` (the
provider-decoded output or the turn's media decides; `null` when only
the text can tell) and `_parse_text<Out>(candidate) -> ParsedOutput?`
(the parsed value, wrapped so a parsed `null` is distinct from no
parse).
- `_attempt_turn` returns `_AcceptedTurn { turn, text_output }`.
- `run` takes the value from `turn.parsed_output ??
accepted.text_output`, or builds it from the turn's media. Exactly one
of the three accepted the turn, so the duplicated three-way logic in
`run` goes away.

`_media_value` still runs in `run`, after the turn is on the record, as
its doc requires.

| Measure (debug build, `canary`) | before | after |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Bytes allocated per small LLM call | 13.5 MB | 8.5 MB |
| Extra bytes per call from 400 unrelated classes | 6.3 MB | 3.2 MB |

(Measured with `llm_call_memory.rs` from BoundaryML#5111. With BoundaryML#5111 the parse
model is small, so the saving there is the cost of one parse instead of
most of the call.)

## Testing
- [x] BAML corpus (`baml-cli test --from crates/baml_tests/baml_src`):
5082 passed, 2 tolerated (the deliberate test-runner tests). This covers
the runner's repair re-ask, provider-decoded outputs, and the `image?` /
`image[]` media cases.
- [x] CI snapshot job (`cargo insta test --test-runner nextest --dnd -p
baml_tests -p baml_cli -p baml_pack_host --all-features
--unreferenced=reject`): 1615 passed, no snapshot changes.
- [x] CI general job: 4971 passed.
- [x] `runner.baml` is `baml fmt`-clean.

## Additional Notes
No new test asserts the parse count: nothing in the test harness
observes how many times SAP runs, and the memory numbers above show the
change.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved handling of AI responses that contain decoded results, text,
or media. Results now use available decoded output first, retain text
parsing when needed, and otherwise return the media value. This helps
ensure the final result matches the accepted response and avoids
repeating text parsing when a parsed value is already available.

…yML#5125)

The native corpus was spending ~6.6 seconds registering tests serially,
then concurrent compilation contended on one global type-interner mutex.
On the same 18-core machine this change reduces the full corpus from
**21.32s to 13.63s**, and the same subset without four intentional
timeout waits from **11.67s to 3.64s (3.20× faster)**. These controlled
runtime measurements used the same 5,098 case identities and outcomes on
both sides. Follow-up test consolidation preserves the assertions while
moving 32 additional Rust regression cases into native BAML.

## Issue Reference

Builds on BoundaryML#5113.

## Changes

- Cache the 15 primitive type handles and shard compound
interning/eviction across 64 locks. Canonical identity and compound
reclamation remain intact.
- Move duplicate-registration scans into native code. The
equality/suffix predicate is unchanged, and scans read current public
arrays and records, including in-place mutations. This removes
interpreted per-entry work; the scan remains quadratic overall.
- Read package symbols directly where dependency resolution is
unnecessary, and skip coherence preparation when a package owns no
implementations. A query-event regression checks both avoided work and
invalidation when overlapping implementations are added.
- Share the runtime I/O table instead of cloning all 89 callback handles
per sys-op. A concurrent native→RuntimeIo regression checks results and
invocation context isolation.
- Upgrade Salsa 0.26.2→0.28.5. Preserve owned query/field APIs with
explicit `returns(clone)`, preserve `no_eq`, and replace obsolete unsafe
`Update` implementations with owned-value retention markers. The upgrade
gives modest memory savings, not the main corpus speedup.
- Decode only the requested stdlib optimization variant in each nextest
process. Extract the artifact producer and helpers into
`baml_test_support`, shared by engine/VM/telemetry test dev-dependencies
without depending on the full harness or creating dependency cycles.
Stow restricts regular dependency use to the test harness. Ordinary test
callers use this path; uncached compiler helpers remain independent
parity controls. All-level bytecode/interface parity checks pass.
- Consolidate redundant whole-corpus determinism checks while preserving
fresh databases, all three optimization-level identity checks, explicit
one/four-thread comparisons, and complete linked/program/package bytes.
Three fresh corpus compilations now cover serial/parallel equality and
repeat determinism. A test-only cache recorder captures the exact
package outputs fed to the linker.
- Share the fixed 120-turn quiz session across six reporting checks
while retaining a second independent generation for determinism. Seed,
sampling budget, thresholds, and every compiler verification are
unchanged.
- Move the already-native type-quiz harness into `baml_cli` so it uses
Cargo's prebuilt CLI instead of spawning nested Cargo builds. Preserve
snapshot-job CI ownership on musl and Windows. Host/FFI/bytecode tests
remain in Rust.

- Remove or consolidate **70 compiler/runtime Rust test cases**: 28
duplicates already covered by stronger native assertions, 32 migrated
native regression cases, and 10 eliminated through shared setup while
retaining assertions. Keep host marshalling, timing, GC, bytecode,
diagnostics, and type-shape checks in Rust. Three proposed diagnostic
migrations were retained in Rust because native full emission is a
different contract.
- Reuse filesystem fixtures across grouped glob assertions, eliminating
four repeated setups/scans/cleanup calls. The native corpus now contains
**5,126 cases**.
- Comment out the extra release-mode trace-heap rerun in the normal and
shadow workflows, as requested. Its five tests remain in the normal
workspace suite. Cycle-tracker `pop()` remains outside
`debug_assert_eq!`; `debug_assert_with_mut_call` remains enabled in
strict Clippy.
- Consolidate SDK wrappers that repeat the same work: C++ keeps one
compile-and-run per fixture (five builds instead of ten), Java keeps one
compile-and-JUnit invocation (four active invocations instead of eight),
and C# checks all three host-callable markers from one consumer
execution. Generated SDK compilation, no-test fixtures, runtime
assertions, setup guards, and platform isolation are preserved.
- Replace millions of generated C# byte literals with a compact Base64
UTF-8 data literal and a checked, exact-size decoder. Repeated clean
fixture builds improve **24.01/26.14s → 3.68/3.55s**; runtime
registration still verifies the original bytecode fingerprint. The
prototype fixture DLL grows from 3.17MB to 4.13MB (Base64 adds ~33% to
embedded payload size), with no intermediate managed string and one
exact-size decoded byte array.
- Compile all four negative C# generic cases against the already-built
public fixture/bridge assemblies. Preserve their independent artifacts,
one `CS0411` each, and warning rejection; local wall time improves
**35.55s → 1.41s**.
- Preserve cached C# outputs while generated clients are temporarily
missing before codegen. Keep immediate invalidation for changed
protobufs/ordinary sources and strict validation after codegen; seven
regression checks cover both phases and interrupted generation. Cache
hashes and outputs are now published only after successful validation,
and the cache namespace advances to v3 so entries published under the
previous policy cannot be reused.
- Include the packed telemetry test in nextest's one-time host setup on
Unix and Windows, avoiding its nested build fallback, and share its
packing bytecode cache. Both telemetry e2e tests pass in **9.060s
including 7.933s setup**, with the packed case itself **0.873s**;
recording-root and telemetry-off assertions are unchanged.
- Address review feedback by making both runtime-I/O callbacks
rendezvous at a bounded barrier, so the concurrent-context regression
requires actual overlap.

## Measurements

Measurements use CI's opt-level 1 debug/test builds, `heap_debug`,
medium telemetry, warm bytecode caches, and `BAML_NO_DISCOVERY_CACHE=1`.
Every timed process ran alone, with no build/test alongside it. Values
are medians of three warm runs. This table uses the identical 5,098-case
corpus before the later test consolidation/migrations above.

| Measurement | Canary baseline | This change |
|---|---:|---:|
| Full 5,098-case corpus, wall | 21.320 s | 13.630 s (**36% less**) |
| Same 5,094-case subset, wall | 11.670 s | 3.642 s (**3.20× faster**) |
| In-VM discovery/registration | ~6.6 s | ~0.13 s (**~50× faster**) |
| Full-corpus CPU time (user + system) | 49.041 s | 19.859 s (**60%
less**) |
| Full-corpus system CPU time | 22.747 s | 3.160 s (**86% less**) |
| Full-corpus peak RSS | 1.058 GB | 0.812 GB (**23% less**) |

The subset uses 5.55 average cores versus 4.19 before. Full-run
utilization falls after the change because much less CPU work remains
under the unchanged timeout-test tail. The four subset exclusions are
`chat_stream_total_timeout_after_delta`,
`first_token_timeout_ends_on_tool_input`,
`stream_token_timeout_waits_for_first_content`, and
`stream_token_timeout_does_not_charge_slow_consumer`; their ~10s, 12s,
3s, and 3s waits remain in the full run. Both versions retain the same
two expected tolerated failures.

Additional isolated results:

- Whole-corpus emission/link oracles: **33.393→12.725s** serial,
retaining all comparisons.
- Quiz fixed-session checks: **7.488→3.836s**, CPU **28.785→3.950s (86%
less)**; the seven assertions now share one native test.
- Eight host tests at missed prefix-helper call sites: **8.662→7.284s**
serial. Actual runtime compilation/session calls under test are
unchanged.
- Salsa alone: honest parallel `baml check` peak RSS **1.102→1.053GB**;
wall **0.584→0.542s**. A 100-call fresh `reflect.Package.compile` probe
was neutral (**0.985→0.990s**), so no runtime-compile speedup is
attributed to Salsa.
- Shared I/O table: a 16-task/1.6M-`env.get` probe improves
**2.179→1.932s** (11% less wall, ~16% less CPU); no separate
mixed-corpus gain is claimed.
- After all migrations/consolidation, the larger **5,126-case** corpus
passes three serial runs with **13.795s median wall**, including the
intentional timeout tail and the same two expected tolerated failures.
This is a final validation measurement, separate from the identical-case
before/after table.

## CI observations

All comparison jobs used `blacksmith-16vcpu-ubuntu-2404`. These are
observed runs, not controlled cache-independent benchmarks.

- Native corpus: **56.446s → 34.058s (40% less)** against the immediate
canary base. Compiler test execution: **150.611s → 121.131s (20%
less)**. Whole compiler job: **5m15s → 5m12s**, because build time
offsets the faster tests.
- Linux general job before this PR: **7m49s**; first PR run **9m41s**;
empty-commit rerun **8m57s** (96.57% sccache hits); after removing the
extra release build **5m17s**, **32% less than the canary baseline**.
The removed step alone took 4m10s on the warm rerun and ran five
already-covered tests in 0.00s after compiling.
- The CI timings above precede the final helper/test cleanup. A local
serial four-case host-inference probe improves **1.332s → 0.844s**
through the independent prefix helper, preserving all host argument
assertions. This is a narrow single-run comparison, not a whole-job
prediction. The final local general suite passed in **23.774s**, versus
**55.310s** before this follow-up (**57% less observed wall time**),
with 26 fewer Rust cases and the remaining host checks using the shared
prefix.

The subsequent `3bbf9bbbf` CI run validates the shared-helper cleanup:
general workspace **4,956 passed in 25.410s**, with a **4m04s** total
Linux job. Compiler/CLI **1,578 passed in 121.067s**; the larger native
corpus took **55.979s** in that concurrent run, so the earlier
native-corpus CI gain is not reproduced consistently. The controlled
local corpus measurements above remain isolated comparisons. The
subsequent SDK consolidation run (`59e0e724bd`, run 37115017183) reduces
C++ test execution **204.703s → 109.409s** and whole-job time **5m51s →
4m12s**, with near-identical setup time. Java execution improves
**55.734s → 47.792s**, while the whole job is nearly unchanged (**2m47s
→ 2m44s**). C# remained **8m02s** (369.927s nextest including 267.105s
setup), confirming that host-callable consolidation alone does not
address its compile bottleneck. The C# follow-up (`446e9a77a`, run
37116005075) passed all 15 enabled SDK tests and cut the whole job from
**8m02s to 2m26s (70% less, 3.3× faster)**. Both runs invalidated their
cached MSBuild outputs before compiling, so this result does not depend
on a warmer C# build cache. [Optimized C#
job](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/37116005075/job/111182912137).

| C# CI phase | Before | After |
|---|---:|---:|
| Fixture solution compilation | 209.68s | 14.62s |
| Documentation consumer compilation | 36.97s | 1.45s |
| Nextest setup | 267.105s | 34.952s |
| Four negative generic cases | 98.385s | 1.469s |
| Trimmed dynamic-values publish + execution | 102.821s | 6.757s |
| Nextest, including setup | 369.927s | 41.710s |
| Whole SDK job | 482s | 146s |

Binary-size warnings predate this PR: the original canary base already
reported both violations. This PR reduces the packed program from
**38,462,040 to 37,895,376 bytes** and compressed WASM from **7,404,042
to 7,306,935 bytes**; size baselines are unchanged. Sources: [canary

[current PR
run](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/37116005075).

The other SDK carriers were audited. Rust already includes a binary
resource; Java/Go/TypeScript/Python/Swift use compressed payloads, and
Ruby reads a binary file. A C++ compressed-carrier experiment reduced
generated source size but showed no material isolated compile gain
(three-run median **0.878s → 0.854s**), so it was discarded.

## Testing

- Final general workspace suite: **4,956 passed**, 16 skipped,
**23.774s**. The strengthened callback barrier passed.
- Compiler/CLI suites: **1,578 cases passed across validation runs**,
including type quiz (**86.973s**). After recording two new warning
snapshots for migrated fixtures, the final snapshot check passed all
**1,577 other cases**, with no unreferenced snapshots. Existing golden
files are unchanged by this cleanup.
- All three prefix optimization levels remain byte-identical to
independent uncached compilation; user-file and whole-project
diagnostics match.
- Final complete native corpus: **5,126/5,126 expected outcomes**,
repeated three times.
- New native migrations and grouped glob fixtures: **58/58 targeted
cases passed**, including additional existing cases matched by the broad
glob filter.
- C# follow-up: **45/45 generator tests**, **15/15 enabled native SDK
tests** (including trimmed dynamic-value execution), **259 .NET decoder
edge cases**, and seven cache invalidation/recovery regressions passed.
The existing ignored cancellation test remains ignored. Full SDK
validation took **16.341s including 10.369s setup** locally; this
validation run is separate from the controlled clean-fixture compile
measurements above.
- SDK consolidation: **14/14 selected checks passed locally**, covering
all five C++ fixtures, four enabled Java fixtures, setup/manifest
guards, and the C# consumer with all three marker assertions. SDK parity
ratchet also passed.
- Full `prek` passed: Rust formatting, dependency policy,
manifest/Markdown validation, and strict workspace Clippy (`--workspace
--all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings`).

## Reproduction

Reproduce native-corpus builds from `baml_language/`:

```sh
CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_OPT_LEVEL=1 CARGO_PROFILE_TEST_OPT_LEVEL=1 \
  cargo nextest run -p baml_cli --test baml_corpus --all-features \
  --features baml_tests/heap_debug --no-run
```

Run the resulting `target/debug/baml-cli -v test --from
crates/baml_tests/baml_src` with `BAML_CLI_ALLOW_DIRECT=1`,
`BAML_AGENT_SKILL_CHECK=off`, `BAML_TELEMETRY=medium`,
`BAML_NO_DISCOVERY_CACHE=1`, an isolated `BAML_HOME` with automatic
update checks disabled, and an explicit shared `BAML_CACHE_DIR` outside
the source tree. Warm once before timing; use `-x` for each full
timeout-test name above to reproduce the subset. CPU/RSS were collected
per process with `wait4`; elapsed time with a monotonic clock. Baseline
is canary `490f6f55bef63c0d85bba97edc6aa1084a716d96`, pulled after BoundaryML#5113
merged, following `cargo clean` and removal of `.baml`.

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->

> [!NOTE]
> **High Risk**
> A workspace-wide Salsa upgrade touches incremental compilation across
HIR/TIR/MIR/LSP, and C# cache logic changes when stale MSBuild outputs
are invalidated versus preserved around codegen.
> 
> **Overview**
> Upgrades the compiler stack from **Salsa 0.26 to 0.28.5**, replacing
manual `salsa::Update` hooks with `SalsaValue` / explicit
`#[returns(clone)]` on inputs, interned ids, and tracked queries so
memoization behavior stays explicit under the new API.
> 
> Introduces **`baml_test_support`** with per–opt-level embedded stdlib
prefixes and moves many engine, VM, telemetry, and LSP tests off
`baml_db::testing` / `baml_tests` so they can share fast compile helpers
without pulling the full harness. **`type_quiz`** now runs from
`baml_cli` via `CARGO_BIN_EXE_baml-cli`, and CI excludes it from the
main nextest lanes (snapshot job ownership). **`RuntimeIoAdapter`**
holds a shared `Arc<SysOps>` instead of cloning every callback per
adapter construction.
> 
> **C# MSBuild cache** bumps to `csharp-msbuild-v3`, adds
`restore-before-codegen` (defer missing generated fixture clients until
after codegen, then strict `restore`), records/saves manifests only on
**success**, and ships Python unit tests for the two-phase behavior.
Workflows also drop the extra release `trace_heap` job and wire packed
telemetry e2e through the `baml-pack-host` nextest setup.
> 
> Smaller product/test changes: native **`_test_name_count` /
`_testset_name_count`** for mutable registration suffixes,
**`package_items`** instead of full resolution context in file checking,
coherence short-circuit when a package has no impls, and additional
**BAML corpus** cases migrated from Rust (compiler positives, future
combinators, generics).
