Reduce sync work: faster snapshot projection + benchmarks - #86
Conversation
Previously AddSnapshots projected each snapshot by calling FindAsync per entity, which issued one database query per snapshot (and, on an initial sync of new data, every query returned null after a round-trip). Pre-load the projected rows that already exist for the batch with a single tracked query per object type. ProjectSnapshot then resolves existing entities from the change tracker and skips the lookup entirely for entities that have no projected row yet, collapsing N queries down to roughly one per distinct object type.

Adds a BenchmarkDotNet suite that measures CrdtRepository.AddSnapshots on its own, across 7 workloads mirroring DataModelSyncBenchmarks. Expensive DB seeding runs once in a template DB; each iteration forks the DB and recomputes the snapshot batch so no EF-tracked state leaks across iterations. - SnapshotWorker.ComputeSnapshotsToPersist: returns the exact snapshot list UpdateSnapshots would persist, without writing it. - DataModelTestBase: internal CreateRepository() and CrdtConfig accessors. - BenchmarkWorkloadBuilders: shared commit builders extracted from DataModelSyncBenchmarks (+ BuildUpdateExisting). - Program.cs: run both suites via BenchmarkSwitcher (handles --filter/args). - Remove leftover Console.WriteLine debug lines from AddSnapshots.

Two experimental fast AddSnapshots implementations that keep the EF snapshot insert unchanged but populate projected tables with raw INSERT ... ON CONFLICT upserts instead of going through EF's change tracker: - FAST: one upsert command per entity row - FAST_JSON: one command per entity type, rows passed as a single JSON array expanded with SQLite json_each/json_extract FastProjection derives table/column names, primary key, the SnapshotId shadow FK, and value converters from the EF model (no per-entity code). It dedups to the latest snapshot per entity, runs deletes before upserts (children-first) then upserts (parents-first) for FK/unique-constraint safety, and reuses the caller's transaction. CrdtRepository.AddSnapshots now selects via #if FAST_JSON / #elif FAST / #else. Program.cs adds a third FAST_JSON benchmark job and DataModelSyncBenchmarks enables [MemoryDiagnoser]. Benchmarks (CreateWords, 1000): both fast paths ~35% faster and ~32% fewer allocations than baseline; per-query vs JSON-batch shows no measurable difference against in-memory SQLite. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The JSON-batch projection benchmarked identically to the per-query path against in-memory SQLite (same time and allocations), so remove it and keep only the per-query raw-SQL upsert path. FastProjection loses the useJsonBatch parameter and all json_each/json_extract code; CrdtRepository.AddSnapshots collapses to #if FAST / #else; the benchmark drops the FAST_JSON job. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Remove the EF change-tracker slow path and the #if FAST conditional so AddSnapshots always uses FastProjection. Deletes the now-dead slow-path helpers (ProjectSnapshot, GetEntityEntry, LoadExistingEntityIds, LoadExistingEntities). The benchmark collapses to a single job since FAST vs DEFAULT are now identical. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
FastProjection is now an injected singleton (registered in AddCrdtDataCore and resolved into CrdtRepository via ActivatorUtilities) instead of a static class. Its per-type projected-table SQL metadata cache moves from a static field onto an internal ConcurrentDictionary on CrdtConfig, so it's shared across repositories/contexts and tied to config lifetime.

# Conflicts: # src/SIL.Harmony/Config/HarmonyConfig.cs # src/SIL.Harmony/SnapshotWorker.cs
Notify DI interceptors and HarmonyConfig.OnProjectedEntitiesChanged after projected SQL with the latest upsert or delete per entity.
Keep the slnx migration from main and include SIL.Harmony.Benchmarks in the solution.
Main now uses Microsoft.Testing.Platform, so solution-wide dotnet test was launching the Benchmarks exe and failing on unknown MTP flags.

Addresses review feedback on the raw-SQL projection path: - Scope ProjectedTableInfoCache by (IModel, Type) so a config shared across multiple EF models/providers can't reuse another model's metadata. - Use the property's relational type-mapping converter instead of GetValueConverter(), and reject models FastProjection can't source (non-SnapshotId shadow properties, TPH discriminators) up front. - Order same-type rows by their self-referencing FK so a referenced row is upserted before the row pointing at it (acyclic; cycles remain unsupported). Each fix has a regression test verified to fail before the change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The projected-table upserts use SQLite's INSERT ... ON CONFLICT ... excluded dialect, so fast projection only supports the SQLite provider. Throw a clear NotSupportedException at the projection entry point when projected tables are enabled on any other provider, pointing at HarmonyConfig.EnableProjectedTables.

I think the perf tests are failing due to a change I made in DataModel that we now always query snapshots. |

Measures batch writes editing existing entities against a 10k-snapshot db and asserts that forcing prefetch on (breakpoint=0) is slower below the breakpoint while forcing it off (breakpoint=int.MaxValue) is slower well above it, confirming the configured value sits at the crossover.

| batch size | query per entity (no prefetch) | bulk prefetch | winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | ~32ms | ~34ms | query per entity (barely) |
| 250 | ~40ms | ~38ms | prefetch takes over |
| 300 | ~47ms | ~43ms | prefetch |
| 400 | ~65ms | ~55ms | prefetch |
| 500+ | grows fast | grows slowly | prefetch, widening |
So 220 lands right at the empirical crossover — a slightly conservative, well-chosen value.
Caveats:
- New-entity batches get no benefit from prefetch at any size (no current snapshot to fetch), but the penalty is small and large all-new batches are the rare local-creation case, not sync.
- Right at the crossover the margin is tiny and drifts with total DB size. In production (a real DB with per-query round-trip latency, unlike in-memory SQLite) a query per entity costs more, pushing the crossover lower — so 220 is comfortably safe there.
Added PrefetchSnapshotsBreakpointIsAGoodChoice to guard this: it asserts forcing prefetch on below the breakpoint (50 edits) is slower, and forcing it off well above (1000 edits) is slower. Uses best-of-3 runs to reject transient GC/scheduling stalls.
