chore: Hot reload's startup log separates rebuilding the compilation list from waiting for the main thread - #3292
Merged
hatayama merged 7 commits intoOct 12, 2026
Conversation
The rebuild log gives one total that mixes the pool work with the wait for the main thread after a reload, so a slow total cannot be read as slow work. These tests pin both parts, and null for a step the run never finished.
The rebuild log's total started during domain load and ended after the switch back to the main thread, so a 6-7 s total could not tell slow pool work from a main thread that had not started running yet. The time spent in the rebuild is measured inside the pool work, so waiting for a pool thread does not count; the switch is measured around its await. A step the run did not get through stays null instead of 0.
The doc did not cover the rebuild and save entries, and still said the list is normally asked of Unity once per domain, which stopped being true once the list is rebuilt from a saved one at startup.

The rebuild reads the compiler's own PDB when a rewrite dropped documents, so the reason means neither PDB shows every source.

The class comment still said the list is asked of Unity once per domain, and the superseded save reason named only a compile, while an import that changes the script set invalidates the cache too.

Include the caller-first fetch case.
The RefillInBackground contract allows a caller to ask Unity before the refill completes, which supersedes the refill. This comment says Unity is asked only after an empty rebuild or cache drop. Include the earlier caller request in this condition.

No test ran the work handed to the pool through a throw, so recording the background time even when the rebuild stopped part way was not caught.

hot_reload_compilation_list_reconstructedhad onlyreconstructMs, measured from the start of the rebuild during domain load until after the switch back to the main thread. On a large project it read 6-7 s, which cannot tell rebuilding work from a main thread that had not started running after the reload.backgroundMs(rebuilding on a pool thread) andmainThreadWaitMs(waiting for the main thread afterwards).reconstructMsis kept as it was, so it stays comparable with earlier measurements. Logging only; no behavior changes.Changes
HotReloadCompilationListRefill:backgroundMsis measured inside the work handed to the pool, around the rebuild only. The time the work waited for a pool thread is therefore not counted. This is guaranteed by where it is measured; no test pins it, because it depends on timing.mainThreadWaitMsis measured around the await of the switch to the main thread.tool_disabledentry written at startup when the hot-reload tool is disabled is unchanged: it starts no rebuild, so it has no time fields.docs/vibe-logs.md: the paragraph onhot_reload_compilation_assemblies_fetchednow says the list is normally rebuilt from a saved list, so Unity is asked only when that rebuild kept nothing or the cache was invalidated. New paragraphs describehot_reload_compilation_list_reconstructed(every reason value, the three times, null), what happens after a rebuild that kept nothing, andhot_reload_compilation_list_saved/_save_skipped/_save_failed.HotReloadCompilationAssembliessaid the list is asked of Unity once per domain; it now says the list is normally rebuilt on a pool thread after a domain reload and Unity is asked only when that kept nothing or the list was dropped.reasonbackgroundMsmainThreadWaitMscancelledReconstructAndFill_CancelledDuringTheRebuild_LogsNeitherTimeReconstructAndFill_WhenTheRebuildFails_LogsNeitherTimecancelledReconstructAndFill_CancelledBeforeTheMainThread_LogsOnlyTheBackgroundTimeReconstructAndFill_WhenFilled_LogsTheBackgroundAndMainThreadWaitTimescompilation_failed/ failure reason /superseded/ typetool_disabledReconstructAndFill_WhenHotReloadIsDisabled_DoesNotStartEvenIfPausePointIsEnabledVerification
