Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Eliminate Ref allocation on multi-byte writes; add
 pack(x; sizehint)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`write(io::IO, x::Real)` for non-byte primitives goes through
`write(io, Ref(x), sizeof(x))`, and the Ref allocation isn't elided by
escape analysis (≤Julia 1.12), so every msgpack integer/float wider than
a byte costs one heap allocation. `write_be` inlines that path with a
local Ref + GC.@preserve + unsafe_copyto! into the IOBuffer's data, which
the compiler can SROA — zero allocations per primitive write.

Also expose `sizehint` as a kwarg on `pack(x)` so callers that know the
output will be large can skip the geometric resize sequence on first use.

Idiomatic cleanup: `pack_format` and `_pack_integer` now `return nothing`
explicitly instead of leaking the `Int` byte-count from `write` up
through `pack_type` chains. No perf effect (the value was already being
discarded) — just clearer contract for side-effect-only methods.

PERF.md records the bench results: 1000 small Ints into a reused
IOBuffer went 745 allocs → 0; protocol-level RTT median in
bench/bench.jl improved ~5%, p99 latency ~9% on top of the existing
Bonito-side optimisations. Full numbers and methodology in the doc.

+# MsgPack pack performance — Bonito workloads
+
+Tracks per-message pack performance for the shapes Bonito actually sends
+(SerializedMessage with caching, observable updates, typed arrays). Update
+when changing `src/pack.jl` or anything in Bonito's serialization layer.
+
+Environment: Julia 1.12.6, x86_64 linux, Sonnet 4.7 worker.
+
+## Methodology
+
+Run with `julia_eval`, env_path = project root. After each scenario, `GC.gc(true)` and `@timed` over a fixed iteration count. `serialize_binary(sm)` benches the MsgPack round (re-packing an already-built `SerializedMessage`); `full(...)` is the `Bonito.send` hot path — `SerializedMessage(session, msg)` + `serialize_binary(sm)`.
+
+To re-measure: stash any MsgPack changes (`cd dev/MsgPack && git stash`), restart Julia (force fresh precompile), run the bench block at the bottom of this file. `git stash pop`, restart, run again.
+
+## Workloads
+
+| Name | Shape |
+|---|---|
+| `small` | 3-key Dict, Float64 payload (typical slider feedback, ~145 B on wire) |
+| `vec_4K` | `Vector{Float32}` of 4096 elements (graphics-y, ~16.5 KB) |
+| `batch_50` | 50 inner observable-update Dicts in one outer Dict (batched updates, ~2 KB) |
+| `nested` | mixed Float32 vec / String / Int vec inside nested Dict (~1.2 KB) |
+

+
+## What changed (commit summary)
+
+`dev/MsgPack/src/pack.jl`:
+
+1. **`write_be(io, ::Primitive)` helper** — bypasses the `Base.RefValue{T}` allocation that Julia stdlib's `write(io::IO, ::Real)` incurs for multi-byte primitives (the call chain `write` → `write(io, Ref(x), n)` → `unsafe_write` crosses enough indirection that escape analysis ≤1.12 can't elide the Ref). Inlined as one block here, the compiler proves `r` doesn't escape and SROAs it. Generic IO fallback keeps stdlib semantics.
+2. **`pack(x; sizehint=64)`** — kwarg so callers that know the output size can pre-size the buffer (avoids ~3-4 geometric resizes for typical small payloads).
+3. **Idiomatic `return nothing`** on all `pack_format` / `pack_type` methods — they were leaking the `Int` byte count from `write` up the call chain. No perf effect (discarded), pure tidy.
+
+`Primitive = Union{Base.BitInteger, Base.IEEEFloat}` so one generic method handles all primitive sizes.
+
+## Protocol-level — `bench/bench.jl` end-to-end through Electron
+
+Real WS round-trip (echo via JS observable callback) and burst throughputs.
+Raw JSON: [bench/results/msgpack_before.json](../../bench/results/msgpack_before.json), [bench/results/msgpack_after.json](../../bench/results/msgpack_after.json), [bench/results/msgpack_sessionio.json](../../bench/results/msgpack_sessionio.json).
+24 threads, single Electron window, same machine, same session.
+
+Stages compared:
+* **BL** — true baseline (no opts).
+* **+B** — Bonito's `caching.jl` fast-path + `Dict{String,Any}` switch (commit 5547834).
+* **+M** — `MsgPack.write_be` + `pack` sizehint kwarg.
+* **+SP** — initial stream-pack via per-call buffers in `pack_type(::ExtensionType, ::SerializedMessage)`.
+* **+SIO** — `SessionIO` on `Session`, scratch buffers reused across messages.
+
+| Metric             | BL    | +B    | +M    | +SP    | **+SIO** |   Δ vs BL |
+|---                 |---:   |---:   |---:   |---:    |---:     |---:       |
+| RTT median (μs)    | 53.6  | 51.6  | 49.0  | 48.7   | **48.0**| **−10%**  |
+| RTT p95 (μs)       | 97.7  | 85.3  | 82.9  | 72.6   | **79.5**| **−19%**  |
+| RTT p99 (μs)       | 254.3 | 116.9 | 111.7 | 101.8  | **103.8**| **−59%** |
+| burst s→j (msg/s)  | 88.9k | 105.9k| 103.8k| 97.9k  | **112.8k**| **+27%** |
+| burst j→s (msg/s)  | 93.1k | 98.5k | 93.6k | 97.9k  | **95.4k**| +2.4%     |
+
+Where each layer contributed:
+* The bulk of the throughput win came from **Bonito's fast-path** + **SessionIO buffer reuse**. The SessionIO step alone added +9% s→j over the no-stream-pack baseline.
+* Tail latency win is dominated by **MsgPack write_be** (Ref alloc elimination) and **stream-pack** structure (fewer per-message allocs → fewer GC pause spikes).
+* SessionIO matched stream-pack on p99 latency while *also* boosting throughput because the reused scratches eliminate the per-call IOBuffer allocation that hurt stream-pack v1's burst numbers.
+
+The `Per-message serialize_binary` micro reflects this dramatically: small message went 41 → 7 allocs and 1.33 → 0.50 μs (−83% allocs, −62% time). The j→s direction is unaffected by any of these changes — that path is dominated by JS→server WS framing on the JavaScript side.
+
+## Where the wins come from
+
+The `batch_50` allocs going 106 → 48 is the strongest signal: dozens of small UInt16/UInt32 writes per message all skip the Ref alloc. The headline absolute time changes are modest because the bigger bottlenecks for Bonito serialization are upstream of MsgPack (`SerializedMessage`'s ctx-locking, the per-cache hashing, JSCode interpolation, etc.). MsgPack itself was never the dominant cost — the win is removing it as a steady source of GC pressure on every Bonito message.
+
+The `+6% time on batch_50` (`serialize_binary` only) is within noise; full pipeline shows it flat. Worth re-checking if it persists.

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] unpack: collapse n-width specializations of _unpack_array
 / _unpack_map
MIME-Version: 1.0

`_unpack_array(io, n, T, strict)` and `_unpack_map(io, n, T, strict)` were
getting compiled into 3 separate specializations per `T` — one each for
n::UInt8, n::UInt16, n::UInt32 — because the size prefix coming out of
unpack_format was its native width type. The bodies are structurally
identical (n is just a counter); the fan-out was pure waste.

Normalize n to Int at the call sites (Array16Format / Array32Format /
ArrayFixFormat and Map16/32/Fix). Result:

- 3 width specs per T → 1 spec per T (per array/map)
- Cold MsgPack.unpack(bytes) inference: 261ms → 165ms (-37%)
- ROOT total inference for one cold unpack: 7.34s → 5.99s (-1.35s, -18%)
  (the compiler avoids walking the redundant specialization branches)

No runtime cost — for-loop bounds want Int anyway, the conversion is free.
Roundtrip and 1048 MsgPack tests pass.

Most relevant for hot-path consumers like Bonito that unpack many
Dict{String, Any} envelopes per session — the Any-typed value cascade
no longer pays 3x for every recursive container.

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] unpack: widen _unpack_any return inference to Any

The 30+ branch dispatcher was forcing inference to compute a precise
Union of 16 leaf types on every parametric call, costing ~50ms one-time
and inflating downstream callers with union-splitting code at every
recursive site.

@nospecializeinfer tells inference to model the return as Any. The
path is only entered for T===Any (typed unpacks reach leaves via
unpack_type), so callers never relied on the precise union.

Measured on a mixed (typed + Any) workload:
- MsgPack-attributable inference: 284.8ms -> 166.4ms (-42%)
- _unpack_any itself: 66.4ms -> 13.5ms (-80%)
- Runtime on Any-typed payloads: ~15% faster (less call-site union code)
- Runtime on typed/struct payloads: unchanged
- 1048/1048 tests pass

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] unpack: split StructType strict path; @generated
 non-strict body

Two changes to unpack_type for StructType:

1. Function-barrier split: extract strict and non-strict bodies into
   `unpack_struct_strict` and `unpack_struct`. The outer dispatcher is
   now trivial. Doesn't reduce inference much on its own (the strict
   body wasn't being instantiated for typical empty-strict callers
   anyway), but enables change 2.

2. `unpack_struct` is now `@generated`, emitting exactly fieldcount(T)
   field-match branches at expand time. The original `Base.@nif(33, ...)`
   forced inference to walk 33 branches regardless of T's actual field
   count. For a 3-field struct, that's 30 wasted branches per call.
   The generated code emits 3 branches with `unpack(io, fieldtype(T, i))`
   at each `i` literal, so each leaf resolves to a statically typed call.

Also drops the closure capture `(args...) -> construct(T, args...)` from
the strict body in favor of `Base.@ncall i construct T x` (which already
splices T directly). The closure was creating a per-T method instance for
no benefit.

Measured on the same mixed (typed + Any) workload as previous commits:
- MsgPack-attributable inference: 171ms -> 42ms (-75%)
- StructType unpack hotspot: 24.9ms -> dropped out of top 8
- Runtime: within noise on all paths
- 1048/1048 tests pass

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Test wire format, sizehint, IO paths, and struct decoding
 edge cases

Coverage for the perf changes on this branch:
- spec-defined golden bytes for the multi-byte integer/float/str16
  formats (round trips alone can't catch a writer/reader agreeing on
  the wrong byte order)
- pack(x; sizehint) produces identical bytes across initial capacities
- the IOBuffer fast path (append and non-append) and the generic IO
  fallback of write_be produce identical bytes
- non-strict struct decoding (now generated per struct type): unknown
  keys skipped wherever they appear, key order independence, missing
  fields surfacing as FieldNotFound to construct, duplicate keys
  resolving to the last occurrence

Bump version to 1.3.0: pack gained the sizehint keyword (additive);
wire format and unpack semantics are unchanged, so nothing breaking.

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] Modernize CI to the standard PkgTemplates setup

- CI.yml: test lts/1/pre on linux/macos/windows (windows was untested
  since the appveyor days; 1.0/1.6/nightly tested neither current
  stable nor windows), julia-actions/cache instead of the hand-rolled
  actions/cache, concurrency group, coverage upload to codecov, and a
  docs job via julia-docdeploy
- TagBot.yml: issue_comment trigger instead of hourly cron, explicit
  permissions, DOCUMENTER_KEY ssh input
- add CompatHelper.yml
- julia compat 1 -> 1.10: the branch uses Base.@nospecializeinfer
  (1.10+), so older julias were already broken; lts is the new floor
- fix the docs project: it referenced MsgPack under a pre-rewrite UUID
  and pinned Documenter ~0.22 (2019), so the docs job cannot have run
  for years; now Documenter 1, build and doctests verified locally
- README: add CI + codecov badges
