Summary#

Performance refactors that swap out a canonical implementation need an explicit equivalence phase, not just benchmarks. Reuse already-computed state where possible, but compare it against the old path until edge cases such as ignore precedence, symlinks, or platform quirks are closed.

Problem#

A faster repository-index path reduced repeated filesystem and process work, but initial behavior diverged from the established git-based path on subtle cases like nested .gitignore precedence and untracked symlinks.

Solution#

Introduce the optimized index/cache, run differential checks against the previous implementation, and add focused regression coverage for each semantic mismatch before making the new path authoritative.

Failure Modes#

  • Benchmarking only common cases and missing filesystem edge cases
  • Caching values whose correctness depends on mutable inputs without invalidation
  • Assuming near-equivalent outputs are good enough without oracle-based comparison
