perf(macros): build the #[cachekit] key prefix once per function (LAB-12104) - #212
Every #[cachekit] call rebuilt its interop key from scratch. interop_key re-validated the namespace and operation segments, which the macro had already checked at compile time, encoded the arguments into a buffer grown from empty, hashed them, hex-encoded the digest one char at a time (hex::encode collects into a String) and joined the parts with format!. On an L1 hit that was 74% of the call's instructions.
What
Per-function prefix. The macro now keeps a staticinterop::__KeyPrefix per function. Its first call validates the two segments and stores {namespace}:{operation}:; every later call only encodes and hashes its arguments. The runtime check behind the macro's compile-time mirror stays: only a valid prefix is stored, so a segment the mirror wrongly accepted fails every call with InvalidKey, never only the first. The prefix depends on the function alone and holds no argument. The arguments are evaluated in an outer block, and the static is declared in an inner one. An item is visible throughout its block, so a parameter that happens to share the static's name still names the parameter.
One key routine.interop_key and __KeyPrefix::key share checked_prefix and push_args_hash. checked_prefix validates both segments and joins them into a String sized for the whole key. push_args_hash hashes canonical_args with BLAKE2b-256, hex-encodes the digest from a 16-entry table into a stack buffer, and appends it. interop_key keeps its per-call validation and its signature. Direct callers get the faster hash segment too. The stack buffer beat pushing one char per digit by about 475 Ir per call.
canonical_args starts at 64 bytes of capacity: one allocation where growing from empty took three for macro_hit's 20-byte argument list.
Key bytes are unchanged. No key format, vector or wire change.
Bench case.bench_hot_path gains macro_hit: an L1 hit through a #[cachekit] function with a 120 B interop key, plain, rel, and enc through a secure function. It needs the macros feature. make bench and make bench-instr now build with it, and a build without it lists no macro_hit case.
No argument memo. A bounded memo from canonical argument bytes to key would also skip BLAKE2b, which is now about 1,960 of the 5,571 Ir in macro_hit/plain/64. Net of a lookup and a key clone, it would save well under that. It would also keep plaintext arguments in a process-wide map that outlives the entries, their TTL and clear(). It would add shared mutable state to the hit path, and it would need a runtime check to stay off clients with encryption. This PR keeps no state beyond the prefix.
Measured

A/A, two ways. Build A against a copy of itself reads +0.00% on all 12 macro_hit cases, and each floor is the 0.5% minimum. The swept head against the final head (identical hot-path code; the final head changes only an error string and tests) reads +0.00% on every macro_hit case. The same comparison reads −0.40% to +0.04% on l1_hit and −0.19% to +0.11% on l2_hit. In that run one binary was launched from a longer path, and that alone moves the small cases by a few instructions. The other-case deltas below are that size.
Every other case was run against A too. None moved by more than +0.30%, and all are within their floors:

None of these cases derives an interop key. delete has wide floors from its per-key lock map, which is reseeded in each process.
Sibling paths
Plaintext and encrypted: both changed and measured above. secure functions use the same prefix: it holds no argument.
L1 hit, L2 hit, cold miss: every #[cachekit] call derives its key first, so all three save the same ~4,800 Ir per call. Only the L1 hit is benched; the saving is a smaller share of the costlier paths.
Client API:interop_key callers get the hash segment, buffer and exact-capacity changes. They keep per-call validation, because their segments are not compile-time constants.
wasm32: same code; OnceLock is available there. The wasm32 build with workers,cachekitio,encryption,macros and the wasm32 test build compile.
#207's CI job builds the example with default features, so it will not measure macro_hit until that build passes --features macros.
Tests
key_vectors_all_pass also runs all 44 key vectors through __KeyPrefix::key, on the call that builds the prefix and on one that reuses it, and compares the bytes with each vector's expected_key.
error_vectors_all_reject runs all 34 error vectors through it, on a fresh prefix and on a reused one: each is rejected with interop_key's error.
macro_key_matches_interop_key_on_random_input: a seeded property test. It runs 400 random segment pairs, some outside the grammar, with one prefix per pair as in the macro, and 10 random argument lists each. The lists cover nested arrays, maps and sets, width-boundary and out-of-range integers, NaN/±Inf and collapsing floats, multibyte strings, bytes, datetimes and UUIDs. Every key equals interop_key's and the pre-change format! + hex::encode formula, and every error matches. The test also asserts minimum counts of keys, of argument errors on a built prefix, and of cases with both a bad segment and a bad argument.
key_prefix_rejects_an_invalid_segment_on_every_call pins the runtime guard. Reserved, uppercase, .., trailing-newline, empty and spaced segments fail three calls in a row with interop_key's error. One of the three calls also passes a NaN argument, and the segment error still wins. No prefix is stored. Moving argument encoding ahead of validation fails this test. key_prefix_keeps_a_valid_prefix checks that an argument error leaves a valid prefix in place.
macro_key_matches_interop_key (renamed from macro_key_delegates_to_interop_key) ties the expansion to interop_key's bytes.
parameter_named_like_the_key_prefix_static_keys_by_its_value decorates a function whose parameters are named __CK_KEY_PREFIX and __ck_args. The stored key must equal interop_key's for their values. It does not compile when the arguments are evaluated inside the static's block.
The head after these fixes reads +0.00% on macro_hit against the measured head (largest move −0.09%, all within floor), so the figures above stand.
cargo fmt --check, make clippy and the native test suite (make test features, --no-fail-fast) pass locally.
Docs
The README's Measuring performance section now describes macro_hit and the macros feature its A/B build needs. It also says to build the base from this tree's bench_hot_path.rs: a base without a case fails it, and the run exits 2. The #[cachekit] reference and docs.cachekit.io need no change: they say the segments are validated at compile time, which is still true, and the key bytes and errors are unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Performance
Cache key generation now reuses validated prefixes while preserving existing key results.
Benchmarking
Added a macro-based cache-hit benchmark for plain, reliability and encrypted modes. It requires the macros feature and is excluded from prev, ns and nsenc modes.
Benchmark targets now build the example with the macros feature enabled.
Documentation
Updated A/B benchmarking instructions to build the base example with the macros feature. If the base commit lacks a benchmark case, the run exits with an error.
Walkthrough
The changes add reusable interop key prefixes and use them in macro-generated cache keys. They also add a macro-backed cache-hit benchmark, enable the macros feature in benchmark targets, and update the benchmark documentation.
Changes
Interop key prefixes and benchmark
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Build and validate reusable key prefixes crates/cachekit/src/interop.rs, crates/cachekit/tests/interop_vector_tests.rs
interop_key uses shared helpers for prefix validation and argument hashing. __KeyPrefix caches valid prefixes. Tests compare fresh and reused prefix keys and errors with interop_key, using fixed and generated inputs.
Use cached prefixes in generated keys crates/cachekit-macros/src/lib.rs, crates/cachekit/tests/macro_tests.rs
The macro uses a function-local static __KeyPrefix to derive cache keys from arguments. Tests check key equivalence and parameter-name hygiene.
Add and document the macro-backed benchmark crates/cachekit/examples/bench_hot_path.rs, Makefile, README.md
The benchmark adds a feature-gated macro_hit case and uses its macro-derived key. Benchmark targets enable macros. The README describes the case and A/B build requirements.

Conflicts in README.md and examples/bench_hot_path.rs: this branch adds
the macro_hit op, main adds the ns and nsenc modes. Both kept.
The union also paired macro_hit with ns and nsenc, and those cases fail:
a namespaced client refuses interop reads. is_case now leaves them out,
so every listed case runs.
Resolved README.md and crates/cachekit/examples/bench_hot_path.rs (this branch's macro_hit op + main's ns/nsenc modes, both kept; is_case now skips macro_hit/ns and macro_hit/nsenc, which a namespaced client refuses as interop reads) — auto-rebased onto main; CI will re-run.

Release the coordinated runtime and macro change as 0.14.0.
The published 0.13.0 runtime accepts any later 0.13.x cachekit-macros release. The new expansion calls cachekit::interop::__KeyPrefix, which 0.13.0 does not define. An existing user who updates dependencies can therefore fail to compile at every supported #[cachekit] site.
The current exact pin protects only releases published after the pin was added. It cannot repair the published 0.13.0 metadata.

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff Major at crates/cachekit-macros/src/lib.rs:570-574 ("release the coordinated runtime and macro change as 0.14.0"): no change needed here. The next release from main is already 0.14.0 for both crates. main carries feat commits since 0.13.1 and bump-minor-pre-major is on, so the open release PR #200 proposes cachekit-rs 0.14.0 and cachekit-macros 0.14.0, with the workspace pin at =0.14.0. The published 0.13.0 and 0.13.1 runtimes require cachekit-macros ^0.13.0 and ^0.13.1, which cannot resolve 0.14.0, so no published runtime can meet the __KeyPrefix expansion. release-please owns the version numbers, so hand-editing them in this PR would fight the release tooling.
@27Bslash6 Agreed. I withdraw the Major finding at crates/cachekit-macros/src/lib.rs, Lines 570–574.
I verified that release PR #200 updates both crates to 0.14.0 and the workspace dependency to =0.14.0. The release configuration also enables bump-minor-pre-major.
Cargo requirements ^0.13.0 and ^0.13.1 exclude 0.14.0. The coordinated release therefore addresses the compatibility concern. No manual version change is needed in this PR.
Merged main (c9aa33c) into this branch; resolved Makefile (kept both --features macros and --jobs) and README.md (main's measuring text, plus --features macros for the base build). CI will re-run.
118 of 118 cases measured. A case fails when its median is slower than the base by its floor or more (SLOWER). The floor is 0.5%, and such a case also fails when the head's runs spread by more than that (NOISIER), except l2_hit, whose floor is 2% because its count varies between runs. delete cases are reported, never failed.

PR head 9971e67c102b009f8fbaa3cec5f432212c931a90 merged into its base, measured against c7e63f3d3ea143ff0cc0bf5463aae7d64ef4deab on the same runner. Workflow run
Merged main (c7e63f3) into this branch; resolved crates/cachekit/examples/bench_hot_path.rs (kept main's parked delete modes and the macro_hit case side by side; is_case takes main's size-aware signature with the macro_hit arm and both doc notes). CI will re-run.

Why
Every
#[cachekit]call rebuilt its interop key from scratch.interop_keyre-validated the namespace and operation segments, which the macro had already checked at compile time, encoded the arguments into a buffer grown from empty, hashed them, hex-encoded the digest onecharat a time (hex::encodecollects into aString) and joined the parts withformat!. On an L1 hit that was 74% of the call's instructions.What
staticinterop::__KeyPrefixper function. Its first call validates the two segments and stores{namespace}:{operation}:; every later call only encodes and hashes its arguments. The runtime check behind the macro's compile-time mirror stays: only a valid prefix is stored, so a segment the mirror wrongly accepted fails every call withInvalidKey, never only the first. The prefix depends on the function alone and holds no argument. The arguments are evaluated in an outer block, and the static is declared in an inner one. An item is visible throughout its block, so a parameter that happens to share the static's name still names the parameter.interop_keyand__KeyPrefix::keysharechecked_prefixandpush_args_hash.checked_prefixvalidates both segments and joins them into aStringsized for the whole key.push_args_hashhashescanonical_argswith BLAKE2b-256, hex-encodes the digest from a 16-entry table into a stack buffer, and appends it.interop_keykeeps its per-call validation and its signature. Direct callers get the faster hash segment too. The stack buffer beat pushing onecharper digit by about 475 Ir per call.canonical_argsstarts at 64 bytes of capacity: one allocation where growing from empty took three formacro_hit's 20-byte argument list.bench_hot_pathgainsmacro_hit: an L1 hit through a#[cachekit]function with a 120 B interop key,plain,rel, andencthrough asecurefunction. It needs themacrosfeature.make benchandmake bench-instrnow build with it, and a build without it lists nomacro_hitcase.No argument memo. A bounded memo from canonical argument bytes to key would also skip BLAKE2b, which is now about 1,960 of the 5,571 Ir in
macro_hit/plain/64. Net of a lookup and a key clone, it would save well under that. It would also keep plaintext arguments in a process-wide map that outlives the entries, their TTL andclear(). It would add shared mutable state to the hit path, and it would need a runtime check to stay off clients with encryption. This PR keeps no state beyond the prefix.Measured
bench_hot_path instr: instructions per op under callgrind (measured loop only), 5 runs per arm interleaved ABBA, floormax(3 × spread, 0.5%). A is this PR's first commit, which adds only the bench case. B is the head.macro_hit/plainmacro_hit/relmacro_hit/enc(secure)A/A, two ways. Build A against a copy of itself reads +0.00% on all 12
macro_hitcases, and each floor is the 0.5% minimum. The swept head against the final head (identical hot-path code; the final head changes only an error string and tests) reads +0.00% on everymacro_hitcase. The same comparison reads −0.40% to +0.04% onl1_hitand −0.19% to +0.11% onl2_hit. In that run one binary was launched from a longer path, and that alone moves the small cases by a few instructions. The other-case deltas below are that size.Every other case was run against A too. None moved by more than +0.30%, and all are within their floors:
Other cases (A → B, Ir/op)
l1_hit/{plain,rel,enc,prev}plain/40)l2_hit/{plain,rel,enc,prev}rel/40)set/{plain,rel,enc}enc/40)exists/{plain,rel,enc}plain/40)oneshot/{enc,prev}enc/64, +211 Ir at every size)delete/{plain,rel,enc}rel/40; floor 18.9%)None of these cases derives an interop key.
deletehas wide floors from its per-key lock map, which is reseeded in each process.Sibling paths
securefunctions use the same prefix: it holds no argument.#[cachekit]call derives its key first, so all three save the same ~4,800 Ir per call. Only the L1 hit is benched; the saving is a smaller share of the costlier paths.interop_keycallers get the hash segment, buffer and exact-capacity changes. They keep per-call validation, because their segments are not compile-time constants.OnceLockis available there. The wasm32 build withworkers,cachekitio,encryption,macrosand the wasm32 test build compile.macro_hituntil that build passes--features macros.Tests
key_vectors_all_passalso runs all 44 key vectors through__KeyPrefix::key, on the call that builds the prefix and on one that reuses it, and compares the bytes with each vector'sexpected_key.error_vectors_all_rejectruns all 34 error vectors through it, on a fresh prefix and on a reused one: each is rejected withinterop_key's error.macro_key_matches_interop_key_on_random_input: a seeded property test. It runs 400 random segment pairs, some outside the grammar, with one prefix per pair as in the macro, and 10 random argument lists each. The lists cover nested arrays, maps and sets, width-boundary and out-of-range integers, NaN/±Inf and collapsing floats, multibyte strings, bytes, datetimes and UUIDs. Every key equalsinterop_key's and the pre-changeformat!+hex::encodeformula, and every error matches. The test also asserts minimum counts of keys, of argument errors on a built prefix, and of cases with both a bad segment and a bad argument.key_prefix_rejects_an_invalid_segment_on_every_callpins the runtime guard. Reserved, uppercase,.., trailing-newline, empty and spaced segments fail three calls in a row withinterop_key's error. One of the three calls also passes a NaN argument, and the segment error still wins. No prefix is stored. Moving argument encoding ahead of validation fails this test.key_prefix_keeps_a_valid_prefixchecks that an argument error leaves a valid prefix in place.macro_key_matches_interop_key(renamed frommacro_key_delegates_to_interop_key) ties the expansion tointerop_key's bytes.parameter_named_like_the_key_prefix_static_keys_by_its_valuedecorates a function whose parameters are named__CK_KEY_PREFIXand__ck_args. The stored key must equalinterop_key's for their values. It does not compile when the arguments are evaluated inside the static's block.macro_hitagainst the measured head (largest move −0.09%, all within floor), so the figures above stand.cargo fmt --check,make clippyand the native test suite (make testfeatures,--no-fail-fast) pass locally.Docs
The README's Measuring performance section now describes
macro_hitand themacrosfeature its A/B build needs. It also says to build the base from this tree'sbench_hot_path.rs: a base without a case fails it, and the run exits 2. The#[cachekit]reference and docs.cachekit.io need no change: they say the segments are validated at compile time, which is still true, and the key bytes and errors are unchanged.
