From c201ba2fcba3a7d8be910993e5b31a283be76f9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=E7=A7=A6=E5=A5=87?= Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 21:07:47 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf(cli): code-split lowlight to cut startup V8 parse cost MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Move the syntax-highlight engine out of the synchronously-parsed cli.js entry into a separately-emitted chunk and load it via dynamic import on the first code-block render. Until the chunk arrives, code blocks render as plain text; the next React commit of the surrounding subtree picks up the highlighted version, so users never see incorrect highlighting – just an imperceptibly later transition for the very first code block. Mechanics: - esbuild config: switch entry to outdir + splitting:true so that `await import('lowlight')` produces an actual on-disk chunk that's only parsed by V8 when first needed. - esbuild-shims: rename injected __dirname/__filename to qwen-prefixed symbols + use `define` to redirect free references. Previous inject collided with vendored libraries (yargs) that ship their own `var __dirname` ESM-compat polyfill once splitting flattens chunks. - prepare-package: include the new chunks/ directory in the published package's files list. - CodeColorizer: keep the public colorize{Code,Line} signatures and HAST rendering identical; on first call when the chunk hasn't loaded it returns the plain line and fires the dynamic import via a tiny standalone loader module. - lowlightLoader (new): isolates the lazy-load surface to a module with zero transitive imports (no themeManager, settings, or core). This lets test-setup prime the cache without dragging the whole UI module graph into every test file, which was observed to perturb theme and settings test outcomes when CodeColorizer was imported directly. - test-setup: await loadLowlight() once via the standalone loader so synchronous snapshot tests see the highlighted output deterministically. Measurements (real $HOME, n=15 interleaved A/B vs main HEAD, macOS): | Metric | Before (mean±sd ms) | After (mean±sd ms) | Δ | t | p | | ------------------ | ------------------- | ------------------ | -------- | ------ | -------- | | firstByte (wall) | 1633.5 ± 88.7 | 1475.8 ± 73.3 | -157.7 | 5.31 | 1.33e-5 | | idle (wall) | 2048.7 ± 93.6 | 1902.3 ± 80.2 | -146.3 | 4.60 | 8.71e-5 | | cli.js size | 25 MB | 6.9 MB | -18.1 MB | — | — | Both metrics clear the +50ms-or-10% Welch's t-test bar by an order of magnitude. cli.js drops 72%; total payload (cli.js + chunks/) is similar but only cli.js is parsed at module-eval time, which is the phase that dominates the user-visible startup gap.
