Build Optimization (Phase 1):

  • Add [profile.ci] with strip=true for faster builds
  • Add [profile.ci-release] with strip=symbols for smaller binaries
  • Add sccache cache layer to ci-main.yml
  • Create weekly cleanup workflow (.github/workflows/cleanup-target.yml)
  • Create local cleanup script (scripts/cleanup-build.sh)
  • Document build optimization strategies in CLAUDE.md

Expected savings: 95-150 GB (addresses 200+ GB problem)

Changes:
- terraphim_automata: Add file existence check before loading thesaurus from local path
- terraphim_automata: Use path.display() instead of path in error messages to fix clippy warning
- terraphim_service: Check for "file not found" errors and downgrade from ERROR to DEBUG log level

This fixes issue #416 where OpenDAL memory backend logs warnings for missing
optional files like embedded_config.json and thesaurus_*.json files. Now these are
checked before attempting to load, and "file not found" errors are logged at DEBUG
level instead of ERROR.

Code Review: Build Optimization PR

Thank you for working on build optimization! However, there are several critical issues that must be fixed before merge.

Critical Issues

1. Compilation Errors

  • Line 442: Typo e.to().to_string() should be e.to_string()
  • Lines 366-368: Type mismatches - blocks don't return Result

2. Breaking Change

  • Removes read_url() without proper feature flag
  • Breaks AutomataPath::Remote functionality
  • No migration guide provided

3. CI Profiles Not Used

  • New profiles defined but CI still uses --release
  • PR doesn't achieve optimization goal

4. Cleanup Workflow Issue

  • Runs on GitHub-hosted runners where it has no effect
  • Should use self-hosted or be removed

5. Code Duplication

  • Error handling logic duplicated 4 times
  • Extract to helper function

Required Actions

Must fix before merge:

  1. Fix compilation errors
  2. Restore read_url() or document breaking change
  3. Update CI to use --profile ci-release
  4. Fix cleanup workflow
  5. Extract duplicate code

Testing

Run: cargo build && cargo test && cargo clippy

See diagnostics showing compilation errors at lib.rs:442 and lib.rs:366-368

Code Review for PR #487: Build Optimization

Summary

This PR addresses an important problem (200+ GB disk usage) with targeted optimizations. The approach is generally sound, but there are several critical issues that need to be addressed before merging.


Critical Issues

1. Compilation Error in terraphim_service/src/lib.rs:442

Location: crates/terraphim_service/src/lib.rs:442

let is_file_not_found = e.to().to_string().contains("file not found");

Issue: Typo - e.to().to_string() should be e.to_string(). This will not compile.

Fix:

let is_file_not_found = e.to_string().contains("file not found");

2. Unsafe Cleanup Script Patterns

Location: scripts/cleanup-build.sh

Issues:

  • Uses eval on line 62, which is a security risk
  • Uses find ... -delete and find ... -exec rm -rf {} + without confirmation
  • No input validation on paths being deleted

Recommendations:

  • Remove eval and execute commands directly
  • Add a confirmation prompt for non-dry-run mode
  • Add safety checks to ensure we're in the correct directory
  • Use more specific patterns to avoid accidental deletions

Example improvement:

# Instead of eval, use direct execution
if [ "$DRY_RUN" = false ]; then
    find target/release -name '*.rlib' -mtime +7 -delete 2>/dev/null || true
fi

3. Ineffective Cleanup Workflow

Location: .github/workflows/cleanup-target.yml

Issue: This workflow runs cargo clean on a GitHub Actions runner, but:

  • Runners are ephemeral - each run starts fresh
  • The cleanup doesn't affect persistent storage
  • No disk space is actually saved by this workflow

Recommendation: Either remove this workflow or repurpose it to clean up actual persistent artifacts (like caching directories, old releases, etc.).


Code Quality Issues

4. Fragile Error Detection

Location: Multiple places in terraphim_service/src/lib.rs

Issue: Checking for "file not found" by string matching is fragile:

let is_file_not_found = e.to_string().contains("file not found")
    || e.to_string().contains("not found:");

Better approach: Check the error type/kind directly:

let is_file_not_found = matches!(
    e.downcast_ref::<std::io::Error>(),
    Some(io_err) if io_err.kind() == std::io::ErrorKind::NotFound
);

5. Breaking Change Without Documentation

Location: crates/terraphim_automata/src/lib.rs:359

Issue: Remote loading is now completely disabled unless the remote-loading feature is enabled. This is a behavioral change that should be:

  1. Documented in the PR description
  2. Considered for semantic versioning impact
  3. Potentially gated differently (e.g., return the original behavior if feature is enabled, otherwise error)

Performance Considerations

6. CI Profiles Look Good

Positive: The new CI profiles in Cargo.toml are well-designed:

  • [profile.ci] with strip = true for faster builds
  • [profile.ci-release] with strip = "symbols" balances size and debuggability
  • Appropriate incremental compilation settings

Suggestion: Add comments in Cargo.toml explaining when to use each profile:

# Use for fast CI checks: cargo build --profile ci
[profile.ci]
# ...

# Use for smaller CI release binaries: cargo build --profile ci-release  
[profile.ci-release]

Security Concerns

7. Script Security

  • The cleanup script uses eval which can execute arbitrary code
  • No validation of the working directory before deletion operations
  • Missing safety bounds on find operations

Test Coverage

8. Missing Tests

Missing test coverage for:

  • Error handling changes in terraphim_service (logging level changes)
  • Error message format in terraphim_automata (remote loading disabled)
  • Cleanup script functionality

Recommendations:

  • Add unit tests for the new error detection logic
  • Add integration tests verifying the error messages
  • Add shell script tests for the cleanup script (using dry-run mode)

Suggestions for Improvement

  1. Immediate fixes needed:

    • Fix the typo at terraphim_service/src/lib.rs:442
    • Remove or fix the ineffective cleanup workflow
    • Secure the cleanup script (remove eval, add confirmations)
  2. Code quality improvements:

    • Use error type checking instead of string matching
    • Document the breaking change for remote loading
    • Add tests for error handling logic
  3. Documentation:

    • Add comments explaining CI profile usage
    • Document when to run the cleanup script
    • Update PR description to mention the remote loading change

Positive Points

  • Addresses a real problem (disk usage)
  • Good use of Cargo profiles for CI optimization
  • Thoughtful error logging improvements (downgrading noise)
  • Well-structured cleanup script with dry-run support

Overall Recommendation

Request Changes - The typo at line 442 is a blocker (compilation error). The other issues should be addressed before merge for code quality and security reasons.

Once the critical issues are fixed, this will be a solid optimization PR.
