From baef5ba95d97c8b041d0dc82b529f35a1ccc2f6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: HUQIANTAO <58421104+HUQIANTAO@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 18:41:38 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf(prefix-cache): cache tool-catalog JSON serialization across checks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit PrefixFingerprint::compute is called once per turn by the turn loop prefix-stability check. The tool-side work serializes every tool to the chat-API JSON shape, sorts the resulting strings, joins with newlines, and SHA-256s the result. For a 60-tool catalog that is ~25-40 KB of allocation plus a sort, all of which produces a byte-identical output once the tool set is stable across turns (the common case after the first turn of a session). Introduce a process-local ToolCatalogCache that stores the joined+sorted catalog under a content-derived u64 identity (length + per-tool name + description + serialized input_schema). On a hit, the per-tool JSON serialization, sort, and join are skipped entirely — the pre-computed SHA-256 hex digest is returned directly. The cache lives on PrefixStabilityManager (per-session ownership) and backs a new PrefixFingerprint::compute_with_tool_cache entry point. check_and_update, PrefixStabilityManager::new, and pin() all use the cached path. The original compute() is kept as a fallback for callers that do not have a cache in hand (e.g. CLI tools that build a one-shot fingerprint). The cache is bounded (default capacity = 8) and uses insertion-order eviction, matching the eviction strategy already in transcript_cache.rs. invalidate() is exposed for tool-registry hot-reload and MCP attach paths. Tests: 8 new unit tests cover the miss/hit path (pointer-equal Arc on hit), identity collisions, schema change detection, capacity eviction, invalidate, empty slice, and the equivalence between cached and uncached fingerprints. The full 30-test prefix_cache suite passes; the wider prefix-cache contract tests in settings, prompts, and core::engine::tests continue to pass. --- crates/tui/src/prefix_cache.rs | 326 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 321 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/crates/tui/src/prefix_cache.rs b/crates/tui/src/prefix_cache.rs index d5a32f7a..45471d38 100644 --- a/crates/tui/src/prefix_cache.rs +++ b/crates/tui/src/prefix_cache.rs @@ -29,6 +29,11 @@ //! └─────────────────────────────────────────┘ //! ``` +use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher; +use std::collections::{HashMap, VecDeque}; +use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher}; +use std::sync::Arc; + use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; use sha2::{Digest, Sha256}; @@ -58,7 +63,6 @@ impl PrefixFingerprint { /// while ignoring internal-only fields like `allowed_callers` (#2264). pub fn compute(system_text: &str, tools: Option<&[Tool]>) -> Self { let system_sha256 = sha256_hex(system_text.as_bytes()); - let tools_sha256 = match tools { Some(tools) if !tools.is_empty() => { let mut serialized: Vec = @@ -69,10 +73,40 @@ impl PrefixFingerprint { } _ => sha256_hex(b""), }; + let combined = format!("{system_sha256}:{tools_sha256}"); + let combined_sha256 = sha256_hex(combined.as_bytes()); + Self { + system_sha256, + tools_sha256, + combined_sha256, + } + } + + /// Compute a fingerprint while reusing a [`ToolCatalogCache`] for the + /// tool-side work.
