Source profiling through TSX adds generated function-naming helpers that are absent from the published JavaScript. On pinned large-document profiles these helpers accounted for roughly 6 to 12 percent of samples in several pipelines, making source attribution a misleading optimization lead.

The profiler now compiles the frozen checkout with the installed project compiler into its own output directory, loads that native JavaScript with plain Node, records emitted module and build-input hashes, and checks them again afterward. It leaves the working dist directory alone and rejects loader/preload instrumentation. The manual workflow and local instructions use the same path. Existing directory-preservation and raw-profile checks remain, with new native-module identity and loader-rejection coverage.

No library source, public API, dependency, bundle budget or release metadata changes. Native discovery controls already verified all 18 JavaScript modules against the actual 1.2.0 archive, with matching completed corpus outputs and no generated naming-helper samples. Exact-head normal CI and the corrected manual workflow remain the delivery gates for this tooling change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the core profiling guide to explain compiling fresh JavaScript for profiling without changing build output. The guide also describes which build details are recorded and how changes during a run are detected.
  • Chores
    • Core profiling now runs compiled JavaScript without TypeScript loaders or preload hooks, and records compiler and runtime-module details. Runs using loaders or preload hooks are rejected.
  • Tests
    • Updated profile checks to verify the JavaScript runtime, recorded details, and rejection of unsupported loader and preload configurations.

Walkthrough

Core profiling now compiles TypeScript modules into a runtime directory and profiles the emitted JavaScript without TSX. The workflow, instructions, and tests use and verify this native-JavaScript profiling path.

Changes: Core profiling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compile and profile runtime JavaScript
scripts/profile-core.mjs
The script rejects Node loader and preload hooks, compiles the configured TypeScript build into a runtime directory, and imports the emitted parser, HTML, and streaming modules. Receipts include compiler and build-input metadata, with runtime-module hashes when requested.
Wire and verify native JavaScript profiling
.github/workflows/core-profiles.yml, docs/guides/testing.md, tests/core-profiles.test.ts
The workflow and documented command no longer preload TSX. The instructions describe compiling before profiling and checking run inputs. Tests verify native-JavaScript receipts, module hashes, loader rejection, and CPU profile frames.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · previous review a920d

Profiling can accept quoted preload hooks and produce misleading native-runtime results. Slow runners also remain susceptible to smoke-test timeouts during compilation. These are bounded profiling and test-reliability risks.

Nitpick Assert the full runtimeModules inventory, not only parser.js.

19-20: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the full runtimeModules inventory, not only parser.js.

The assertion on line 20 checks only the parser.js hash. If snapshot() drops another emitted module, such as html.js or extensions/streaming.js, this test still passes. No other assertion in the repository reads runtimeModules. Compare the receipt keys with the emitted .js files.

Suggested fix
     const parserBytes = readFileSync(join(directory, 'runtime/parser.js'))
     expect(receipt.runtimeModules['parser.js']).toBe(createHash('sha256').update(parserBytes).digest('hex'))
+    const emittedModules = readdirSync(join(directory, 'runtime'), { recursive: true }).filter(path => path.endsWith('.js')).sort()
+    expect(Object.keys(receipt.runtimeModules).sort()).toEqual(emittedModules)

Add readdirSync to the existing node:fs import on line 3:

-import { mkdtempSync, readFileSync, rmSync } from 'node:fs'
+import { mkdtempSync, readFileSync, readdirSync, rmSync } from 'node:fs'

Update the runtime module assertion in the `snapshot()` test to compare the
complete `receipt.runtimeModules` key set with all emitted `.js` files under the
runtime directory, including nested modules, using consistent relative paths and
sorted ordering. Keep the existing `parser.js` hash assertion and reuse or add
the necessary filesystem import.
