Load logos as local assets, pause Activity polling while hidden, and cache audit summaries while streaming changed logs. Add one-command verification, offline browser fixtures with screenshots and traces, and CI bundle budgets. Fix delayed dialog cleanup in UI tests and isolate the gateway benchmark.

Measured locally on Linux:

  • Startup JavaScript gzip: 210.86 kB → 170.40 kB (19% smaller).
  • Unchanged audit stats, 10,000-row release fixture: 8.00 ms → 0.42 ms median.
  • Audit fixture peak process RSS: 20,272 KiB → 9,744 KiB.

Validation: full npm run verify passed, including 657 frontend tests, 1,715 headless Rust tests (one existing ignored), browser smoke, and all ten gateway smoke checks. Native desktop startup and Windows/macOS behavior still need platform checks.

Details and measurement limits: performance audit.

Note

Add exact-content audit stats cache, visible-window Activity polling, and repeatable verification tooling

  • Audit statistics are now cached by exact file content in src-tauri/src/audit.rs; unchanged logs skip re-aggregation while oversized logs are streamed and not retained
  • ActivityView live polling stops when the native window is hidden and restarts on visibility return, replacing the previous skip-tick approach in src/components/ActivityView.tsx
  • Client and server logos now load as emitted URL image assets instead of inline raw SVG, reducing startup bundle size in src/components/ClientLogo.tsx and src/components/ServerLogo.tsx
  • Adds scripts/verify.mjs (ordered step runner with per-step logs and timeout), scripts/doctor.mjs (environment checker), and scripts/browser-smoke.mjs (headless fixture smoke test) as repeatable verification commands; CI now enforces a 580,000-byte raw / 185,000-byte gzip startup bundle budget
  • Risk: ClientLogo and ServerLogo switch from inline SVG to image URLs; any out-of-tree usage relying on raw SVG injection will break. vitest.config.ts splits tests into separate Node and jsdom projects with a two-worker default, which may change local test execution order or parallelism

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds automated verification, browser smoke testing, bundle budgets, performance benchmarks, audit statistics caching, frontend visibility polling, and URL-based logo rendering. It also separates Vitest logic and UI projects and improves process cleanup.

Changes

Tooling and runtime updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build and test foundation
vite.config.ts, vitest.config.ts, src/test/setup.ts, src/test/setup.test.tsx
Vite emits a build manifest. Vitest now separates logic and UI projects. Test cleanup waits for delayed Radix focus restoration.
Browser fixtures and smoke validation
fixtures/index.html, src/test/browser-fixture.tsx, src/components/ClientLogo.tsx, src/components/ServerLogo.tsx, scripts/browser-smoke.mjs, .github/workflows/ci.yml, package.json
The browser fixture provides mocked application data and logo previews. Playwright validates fixture pages, blocks external requests, captures diagnostics, and runs in CI with Chromium. Logo components use emitted URL assets.
Verification commands and environment checks
scripts/verify.mjs, scripts/doctor.mjs, scripts/smoke-headless.mjs, benchmark/bundle.mjs, .gitignore
Verification runs bounded frontend and headless steps with logs, summaries, timeouts, and process cleanup. Doctor checks local tools. Headless paths support environment overrides. Bundle size budgets are enforced.
Audit statistics cache and benchmark
src-tauri/src/audit.rs, src-tauri/examples/audit-performance.rs, src-tauri/Cargo.toml
Audit statistics use exact-content caching with bounded retention and streaming aggregation. The benchmark measures cached, uncached, rewritten-content, and memory-mode performance.
Latency benchmark process lifecycle
benchmark/latency.mjs
The benchmark adds RPC failure and timeout handling, configurable binary paths, filtered runtime variables, tracked child processes, signal handling, and centralized cleanup.
Frontend visibility and asset rendering
src/components/ActivityView.tsx, src/components/ActivityView.test.tsx
Activity polling starts only while the window is visible and resumes after visibility returns. Tests cover the pause and resume behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 17639

Latency reporting can overstate tail performance, and an invalid configured Chromium path can pass the environment check before browser smoke fails. These are bounded verification issues that should be corrected.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate that the selected Chromium binary can run.

existsSync(browser) accepts directories and non-executable files. browser-smoke.mjs passes the selected path to chromium.launch({ executablePath }), so npm run doctor can report success before the smoke test fails. Check command(browser, ["--version"]); Chromium supports this flag on the supported platforms.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Calculate the p95 index with nearest-rank semantics.

For the 20-sample rewrite benchmarks, this expression selects index 19. That value is the maximum sample, not p95. Use ceil(samples * 0.95) - 1 for the zero-based index.

Proposed fix
 fn measure(mut work: impl FnMut(), samples: usize) -> serde_json::Value {
+    assert!(samples > 0);
     for _ in 0..5 {
         work();
