Finishes quest/m2/speed/ed25519-verify-bench.md.

Summary

rind-bench's ed25519-verify group now parses the public key once, outside the timed loop, wherever the library's API allows, matching the aws-lc-rs (ParsedPublicKey) and dalek (VerifyingKey) rows. Found in moq-dev/rind#415.

  • rind, graviola, and OpenSSL: the key parse moved out of the loop. OpenSSL still builds its Verifier per call, since that is the per-signature context.
  • ring (UnparsedPublicKey) and libcrux (verify takes raw bytes) have no parsed key, so they still parse on every verify, now noted beside their rows.
  • No parsed-per-call row was added: nothing consumes one, and the rustls handshake rows already time the per-certificate path end to end.
  • The m3 report refresh quest now notes that its run is the first whose rind, graviola, OpenSSL, aws-lc-rs, and RustCrypto Ed25519 verify rows time the same work, and should drop any gaps.toml entry they close. It also warns that ring's and libcrux's rows still include the parse, so triage does not read rind beating them as a verify-only win.

Validation

  • After merging main (165545e), just check origin/main passes; cargo clippy -p rind-bench --benches --features __bench_openssl -D warnings passes.
  • One local A/B on the shared i7-8700 (ADX on, load around 12, so noisy), criterion 3 s per row:
Row Before After
rind 37.25 µs 31.29 µs
graviola 33.44 µs 29.64 µs
dalek - 29.00 µs
aws-lc-rs - 32.82 µs

Choices made without asking

  • Report re-render left to the m3 refresh. The quest's last step, re-rendering from the next nightly and dropping any Ed25519 gaps.toml entry the fix explains, cannot happen in this PR: admin/bench-report nightly reads only scheduled runs on main, so the first nightly with this change runs after merge. The nightly CPU tiers compare rind only with aws-lc-rs and ring, so they will reflect the change automatically. No current gaps.toml entry is explained by this fix: the only Ed25519 entry (the OVH VPSes) is moq-dev/rind#415's, and render refuses to drop a gap the data still shows. So this PR deletes the quest and hands the re-render to quest/m3/bench-report-refresh.md, which already reruns every host, rather than leaving an XS quest that only waits on a nightly.
  • Labels are code comments. The report has no per-cell notes, and renaming the ring row would break its column mapping.

Public API

None. Only the unpublished rind-bench crate and quests change.

Caused by

No single PR: the rind row has parsed inside the loop since the bench was written.

Follow-ups

None.

Review

mechanical fix by quest land watch: merged main at ca783ef47d1ddc930f6d3f62971f8da0d141e819 with the quest merge driver (head 76a067c)

Rewritten by quest review after each round.

  • Reviewer: Codex, gpt-6.1-sol, low effort
  • Session: 01a1b718-5057-72c0-bb57-3e19df4c48df, round 1
  • Head: 6048047
  • Base: origin/main at 165545e
  • Score: 10/10, The diff correctly moves public-key construction outside timed verification loops where supported, with no actionable defects; builds and benchmarks were not run in the read-only environment.
  • Findings: none

Written by hand: quest review printed record skipped because the review ran from a local branch named fix/ed25519-bench-conflict, while the quest branch was checked out in another worktree.

rind's, graviola's, and OpenSSL's ed25519-verify rows parsed the public
key inside the timed loop, charging them a point decompression the
aws-lc-rs and dalek rows skip. ring and libcrux have no parsed key and
keep parsing per verify, now noted beside their rows.

Walkthrough

The Ed25519 benchmarks now parse keys before timed loops for rind and graviola, and construct the OpenSSL public key before timing. Comments clarify parsing behavior for ring and libcrux. The m3 refresh plan records the prior timing difference and notes removing gap entries closed by comparable results. The m2 required list drops the Ed25519 benchmark, and its planning document is deleted.

- Settled with the maintainer when the report was planned (2026-11-03), so don't reopen them: the hosts `nixos`, `desktop`, `nixos2`, and `kixtop`, each on its native path; the libraries rind, aws-lc-rs, ring, RustCrypto with dalek, graviola, libcrux, and OpenSSL; a ✓ only where a published proof covers the whole computation that library runs on that host, padding included. A gap becomes a [speed](/quest/m2/speed/README.md) quest when the operation is common or the gap is large, and otherwise gets a recorded reason; verified code within about 10% stays.
- Recheck the README's opening against the new results: its claims, such as which operations trail aws-lc-rs and ring, must still hold.
- The first report's `nixos2` gaps in Ed25519 verify (1.13 against RustCrypto) and ML-KEM-768 encapsulation (1.23 against graviola) come from its older run. Recheck them with a fresh `nixos2` run, and plan a speed quest for either that still holds.
- Every report so far timed rind's Ed25519 verify with a key parse, about 4 µs, that RustCrypto's and aws-lc-rs's rows skip. [moq-dev/rind#464](https://github.com/moq-dev/rind/pull/464) parses it once, so this run's Ed25519 verify rows for rind, graviola, OpenSSL, aws-lc-rs, and RustCrypto are the first that time the same work: drop any `gaps.toml` entry they close. ring's and libcrux's APIs take raw key bytes, so their rows still include the parse: rind beating them does not show its verify alone is faster, and a `gaps.toml` reason that rests on those rows says so.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Qualify the OpenSSL and aws-lc-rs comparisons.

Creating their key objects outside the loop does not remove point decoding from verification. OpenSSL 3.5.9 decodes the public key on each verify, and the pinned AWS-LC implementation also passes raw key bytes to verification. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

These rows do not time the same work as rind. Include them in the parsing caveat so gap triage does not treat the comparison as verification-only.

quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at 6048047 because it conflicts with main (merge_conflict).

The land fixer works on it in the background, and the watcher re-enqueues it at the back of the queue once it is fixed or judged flaky, or hands it back here with what it needs.
