feat(telemetry): report L1 hit latency and add a telemetry off switch (LAB-12080) - #299
The CachekitIO backend now reports L1 hit latency to the API, and every telemetry header it sends can be turned off. This implements the protocol's L1 hit latency and Telemetry switch sections (spec/saas-api.md, Optional Metrics Headers, merged in cachekit-io/protocol#223).
Closes LAB-12080
Change
What is timed. On Node.js, every call that can count an L1 hit (get() and every wrap() call) first draws whether to time itself, before its outcome is known: one call in 1024, by a per-call xorshift32 draw seeded from Math.random (API-81). A drawn call reads process.hrtime.bigint() at its first step and again in the synchronous step where L1 produces its value, so the interval covers the whole call as the caller sees it, key generation, decode and a stale serve's synchronous start of its revalidation included (API-79). A drawn call that turns out a miss or an L2 hit is discarded. A joined call, exists() and the reads inside wrap() are never timed (API-80). The paths: the memoised hit, the L1 read by key with and without SWR, a get() that L1 serves, and a wrap() cold-path read that L1 serves (after a lock wait, for instance).
The report. Each CachekitIOCore keeps one 16-bucket accumulator (backends/telemetry.ts). A cache times into its backend's accumulator, whether the backend came from a { apiKey } config or a cachekitio() instance; the wrappers (cachekitioWithLocking, cachekitioWithTTL, the full client) forward it. request() takes the report and resets it in one synchronous step on every attempt (API-85), so a report rides one attempt and is consumed whatever its outcome; a retry by the reliability stack takes a fresh, usually empty, report (API-86). Native fetch makes no retries of its own. A report with sum 0 stays in the accumulator. health() never carries one (API-84). Durations over 60 s, and a hit that would take the sum past 2^53 − 1, are discarded (API-87).
Runtimes.CacheRuntime gains l1HitClock. The Node runtime supplies process.hrtime.bigint when it runs on Node.js; under Bun or Deno it supplies none, because the protocol names no clock for them. The Workers runtime supplies none: its clock does not advance during an in-memory hit, so Workers sends no latency header at all, never zeros (API-82).
The switch.telemetry?: boolean on CachekitIOBackendConfig and on createCache.io(), undefined by default, plus CACHEKIT_TELEMETRY, parsed by the spec's own rule: trimmed, case-insensitive, false/0/off/no off, true/1/on/yes on, empty unset, anything else off with one warning through the library logger. On Workers the variable is read from process.env and from the Worker's bindings (env from cloudflare:workers, read through the module namespace so an older workerd still loads the entry). Under the disallow_importable_env compatibility flag that import is empty; the README says to use telemetry: false there. The truth table reduces to "off from any control wins, otherwise on". Both are read once, at backend construction (API-94, API-95). A non-boolean telemetry throws ConfigurationError, so a JavaScript caller's 'false' is never read as on.
Off. No X-CacheKit-Session-ID, -Session-Start, -L1-Hits, -L2-Hits, -Misses, -L1-Hit-Rate or any latency header, on any request; X-CacheKit-L1-Status and User-Agent still go (API-96). No session id is created and no report is accumulated.
Hit rate.X-CacheKit-L1-Hit-Rate already computed L1-Hits / (L1-Hits + L2-Hits + Misses); a test now pins it (API-78).
Workers bundle guard.scripts/check-workers-bundle.mjs marks cloudflare:* external, as wrangler does.
Hook. The ESLint pre-commit hook excludes .d.ts: eslint.config.js already ignores them, and an ignored file passed by name fails --max-warnings 0. The new src/workers/cloudflare-workers.d.ts types the one export read.
Unchanged: L1 hit and miss counting, the session headers' content, metricsProvider, and every cache that is not on a CachekitIO backend, which never draws or reads a clock.
Tests
Each test names the requirement it pins.
backends/telemetry.test.ts: the spec's worked encoding example; every bucket bound and the nanosecond after it; 0 ns and 60 s; over 60 s discarded; the grammar and the 2^53 − 1 cap (API-87). Take-and-reset, and a 0-sum report kept (API-85). All 14 parse cases and the warn-once unknown value; a non-boolean setting refused. All nine cells of the truth table through process.env, and all nine through the Workers bindings reader; off from either side; a JSON false binding; read once at construction (API-94, API-95). Off through the setting and through the variable: none of the nine headers on GET, PUT, HEAD, DELETE, TTL, lock and health, with L1-Status and User-Agent kept (API-96). The report on the next request only; never on health and kept for the next request (API-84); consumed by a rejected fetch and by a 503 (API-86); only to the configured API with redirect: 'manual' (API-77); every backend starting with an empty accumulator of its own (API-83: Node has no fork(), and a child process starts afresh); forwarded by all four factories, cachekitioWithTTL included.
cache.l1-latency.test.ts, on a fake clock: the memoised hit, the L1 read by key, an object-argument hit, get(), a cachekitio() instance as backend, a stale serve whose revalidation's synchronous part shows in the duration, and a cold-path read that L1 serves after a lock wait (API-79); a miss and an L2 hit read the clock at their start and are discarded, so the draw precedes the outcome; a joined call and exists() never timed, and the cold-path test pins that a read inside wrap() adds no second duration (API-80). Sampling: over 40,000 calls alternating two keys at 1 in 4, each key gets 1/4 of the timed calls and the gaps vary, so no counter pattern (API-81). With every call drawn for timing, a non-CachekitIO cache and a telemetry-off cache still never read the clock; createCache.io takes the setting; the default times about 1 in 1024.
metrics-headers.test.ts: the hit-rate formula and format (API-78), and L1-Status only when off.
test/workers/telemetry.workers.test.ts, in workerd: with every call drawn for timing, 50 hits record nothing and send no latency header (API-82); CACHEKIT_TELEMETRY=off in the bindings turns telemetry off.
Local: vitest run passed 2,724 (1 skipped). test:workers passed 303. eslint src/, type-check, type-check:tests and check:workers-bundle are clean. prettier --check flags serialization/envelope.ts and the JSON fixtures, which this PR does not touch.
Benchmarks
Two workloads join bench/ir-workload.mjs: wrap-l1-hit-cachekitio and wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio, wrap-l1-hit and wrap-l1-hit-int on a cache whose backend is { apiKey }, so its telemetry is on. They set no option the base lacks, so the gate measures them on both builds. fetch is stubbed in the workload; the measured hits make no request.

The memoised CachekitIO hit pays about 80 instructions for the per-call draw and about 5 for the clock at 1 in 1024 (a timed hit costs about 5,000 more). Choices measured on the way: Math.random as the draw cost about 70 more than xorshift32; 1 in 64 cost +7.3% on this row and 1 in 512 +1.95%.
Node 22.23.3, at this head (not gated, 3 repeats): wrap-l1-hit +0.38%, wrap-l1-hit-int +1.12%, wrap-l1-hit-cachekitio +1.89% and wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio +5.45% (7,450 to 7,856). On Node 22 the memoised hit pays about 330 instructions for the same draw, close to the cost of interpreting it; the gate runs on Node 24, and Node 22 is the engines floor, so this row is the one to watch.
Docs
Package README: a Telemetry section under Observability listing the headers, the switch, the sampling, which runtimes report latency, and which backend form gets the counters automatically. The new parts are marked unreleased.
docs.cachekit.io: a companion PR follows in cachekit-io/docs.
Implements the protocol's L1 hit-latency headers and telemetry switch
(spec/saas-api.md, Optional Metrics Headers) for the CachekitIO backend.
- On Node.js, the cache times one call in 1024, drawn per call before its
outcome is known, with process.hrtime.bigint(), and adds each timed L1
hit's whole duration to its CachekitIO backend's 16-bucket report. The
report rides the backend's next request, never health, and is consumed
by the attempt that takes it. Workers, Bun and Deno time nothing.
- A telemetry setting on CachekitIOBackendConfig and createCache.io, plus
CACHEKIT_TELEMETRY (process.env, and the Worker's bindings on Workers),
resolved once at construction; off from either wins. Off sends none of
the nine optional metrics headers, only L1-Status and User-Agent.
- Two instruction-count workloads on a CachekitIO-backed cache.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
CachekitIO telemetry can include session identifiers, cache hit/miss metrics and sampled L1 cache-hit latency reports on Node.js. Latency reports are not sent by Workers, Bun or Deno.
Telemetry can be controlled through configuration or environment settings and is enabled by default. When disabled, optional session and metrics headers are omitted; the L1 status header remains.
Documentation
Updated CachekitIO guidance on telemetry headers, runtime availability, sampling, configuration options and header behavior.
Walkthrough
CachekitIO now supports configurable telemetry headers and sampled Node.js L1 hit-latency reports. The changes add backend and runtime wiring, tests, benchmarks, documentation, and an ESLint hook exclusion for declaration files.

Summary
Telemetry configuration and runtime controls packages/cachekit/src/backends/telemetry.ts, packages/cachekit/src/backends/types.ts, packages/cachekit/src/intents-core.ts, packages/cachekit/src/workers/*, packages/cachekit/README.md
Telemetry settings can come from backend configuration, environment variables, or Workers bindings. The documentation describes telemetry controls, headers, and runtime-specific latency reporting.
Cache calls sample eligible reads and record elapsed time when L1 serves the value. Node.js supplies the monotonic clock. Tests cover included and excluded call paths; benchmarks add two CachekitIO-backed hit workloads.
Telemetry headers and report delivery packages/cachekit/src/backends/metrics-headers.ts, packages/cachekit/src/backends/cachekitio.ts, packages/cachekit/src/backends/cachekitio-*.ts, packages/cachekit/src/backends/one-attempt-dispatcher.ts, packages/cachekit/src/backends/*test.ts
CachekitIO conditionally sends telemetry headers and attaches accumulated latency reports to requests. Wrapper backends expose the report, and the dispatcher removes latency headers from retry attempts. Tests cover header behaviour and report delivery.
Workers integration and validation packages/cachekit/src/workers/*, packages/cachekit/test/workers/*, packages/cachekit/vitest.workers.config.ts, packages/cachekit/scripts/check-workers-bundle.mjs
Workers and Miniflare tests cover binding-based telemetry controls. The Workers test project is separated from the Miniflare project, and the bundle guard externalises Cloudflare imports.
ESLint declaration-file exclusion
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Exclude declaration files from ESLint hook .pre-commit-config.yaml
No material issue remains identified in this review; the telemetry behavior checked for inaccessible Workers bindings matches the documentation.

- Stop a timed read inside wrap() in the step that produces the value,
getEntry's L1 hit, not in wrapRead's continuation.
- buildMetricsHeaders takes telemetry as a required argument, so no caller
can fall back to on.
- request() takes latencyReport: false in its options; the report resets
its buckets in place.
- Tests: cachekitioWithTTL forwards the report; the Workers lane checks
nothing is recorded; exact checks replace 5,000-call loops; a test that

Head 2ce359b against base 173ce65e90dc80e4fe3ab2b71913658640027280, Node v24.22.1, valgrind-3.22.0. Instructions per op on the main thread (bench:ir --compare); median of the repeats, A/A = (max − min) / median. A workload fails above +2.00% and warns above +1.00% (its own threshold: plaintext-set-1mb at +10.00%, napi-encrypted at +4.00%, warning at half); an A/A over 0.40% reads INCONCLUSIVE.
…eport to one attempt
Workers under disallow_importable_env: cloudflare:workers exports an empty
env, so CACHEKIT_TELEMETRY=off in the bindings went unread and telemetry
stayed on. The bindings reader now throws when workerd reports that flag
(Cloudflare.compatibilityFlags), or exposes no flags or env, and
resolveTelemetry reads any source it cannot read as off, with one warning.
The same covers a process.env read that throws (Deno without --allow-env).
A Miniflare test bundles the Workers entry and runs it in workerd with the
flag on and the binding off: no optional metrics header goes out.
Node's fetch resends a request that drew a 421 on a new connection without
returning to request(), so a latency report rode two wire attempts. A
request that carries a report now goes through its own dispatcher, which
hands the first attempt to undici's global dispatcher as is and every later
one without the report's headers. A test counts the attempts on a real HTTP
server; it passes on Node 22, 24 and 26.
Also: rename the cache's hit counters to hitCounters, assert the sampling
field exists before tests force it, name the per-instance accumulator test
after the Reports section, and drop a duplicate test, a redundant runtime
check and a duplicated bench stub.

…d scrub it once dispatched
A global dispatcher the application installs, such as undici's RetryAgent, retries below the per-request dispatcher, so a report rode every attempt it made. The report now goes out only when fetch hands the request to undici's own Agent, whose clients resend no request they may have delivered; any other global dispatcher gets the request without it. The first attempt gets a copy of the headers from which the report is removed once dispatch returns, so a layer inside the Agent that keeps the options to resend them, as undici's retry interceptor does, resends without it. Wire tests against a real HTTP server cover fetch's 421 resend, a RetryAgent and a retrying Agent, on Node 22, 24 and 26.
…guard
Read each slot with Reflect.get and use it only if it has a dispatch method, so a slot holding anything else counts as empty rather than failing the request; tests read and write the slots the same way, with no cast of globalThis. Reword the README's unreadable-variable sentence, which read as telemetry being on under Deno.
An interceptor or Agent factory the application writes that copies a request's headers and resends from the copy, or a fetch wrapper that retries with a fresh init, sits outside what the SDK can inspect; say so in the module comment and the README rather than read undici's private fields, which would still leave the fetch wrapper. A wire test shows a wrapper that retries with the same init reuses the request's dispatcher, which strips the second attempt.
… constructed
Decide before taking the report: it is taken only while the global dispatcher Node's fetch reads (the second slot under undici 8, the first under 6 and 7) is undici's Agent as constructed. A RetryAgent, a MockAgent, a ComposedDispatcher, or an Agent that compose() wrapped in a proxy (its dispatch differs from its prototype's) leaves the report waiting, and fetch gets no wrapper, so a MockAgent keeps its isMockActive body handling. The wrapper also forwards isMockActive. An onRequestStart handler goes to the second slot only, never to the legacy adapter in the first. Document that a full pool can drop a report and that a fetch wrapper's own dispatcher is replaced on a report-bearing request. Finish the hit-counter rename in the backend hook. Wire tests cover a RetryAgent, a composed Agent, a MockAgent and an uncontended Agent on Node 22, 24 and 26.
…twice
An undici client with pipelining on writes an idempotent request behind a running one, and when the connection drops it fails the head and writes the rest again on a new connection, report included. The attempt that carries a report is now dispatched as not idempotent, so a client never pipelines it behind a running request: it is always the head, and a head whose connection drops fails. A raw-socket wire test drops the connection with a report-carrying GET pipelined behind a response body in flight; it saw the report twice before and once now, on Node 22, 24 and 26. A fetch of another undici major now sends the report through the slot it reads when that holds undici's Agent, instead of dropping it. Drop the isMockActive getter, which only ever wrapped an Agent. Document that on Node 26 requests queued while a new HTTP/2-probing connection is set up lose their report, and that every unreadable Workers source turns telemetry off.
… legacy slot
undici 6's HTTP/2 client, when any stream ends, requeues every other stream still in flight and writes it again, whatever its idempotency; it takes an Agent created with allowH2 and pipelining above 1, since a client's default pipelining of 1 runs one stream at a time. undici 6 and 7 Agents share the first global slot, and an Agent there now gets a report only while its private options, under the symbol undici 6 to 8 describe as 'options', say allowH2 is off; options it cannot read count as on. undici 8's HTTP/2 replays only undelivered streams and is unaffected. Unit tests read allowH2 from genuine npm undici 7 and Node 22 and 24 Agents. The pipelining wire test now waits on the first response's headers instead of a sleep and drops the connection only after the report-carrying request is issued. The README names the allowH2 case and the npm-undici fetch loss case.
Resolves the three conflicts in cache-core.ts between main's metrics change (countHit, countMiss, the metrics option checked before the backend is built) and this branch's hitCounters rename: both kept.
…h defaults
Blocking one option name left others: on undici 6, connect.allowH2, a connect function or a custom factory still turns HTTP/2 on, and its client writes streams in flight twice. A report now goes only through an Agent exactly as new Agent() builds it, which Node's own default dispatcher is on 22, 24 and 26: its options, under the symbol described 'options', are all undefined but maxOrigins: Infinity, and its factory is undici's defaultFactory. Any option set, or either field moved, leaves the report waiting. That drops the per-version HTTP/2 reasoning and the special case for the first slot. Genuine-Agent tests cover new Agent(), Node's default, and allowH2, connect.allowH2, a connect function, a factory, pipelining and a CA; wire tests show a retrying factory and a pipelining Agent get no report. The npm undici test loader moves to a shared fixture that fails unless miniflare's undici is major 7.

Each test names the requirement it pins.
backends/telemetry.test.ts: the spec's worked encoding example; every bucket bound and the nanosecond after it; 0 ns and 60 s; over 60 s discarded; the grammar and the 2^53 − 1 cap (API-87). Take-and-reset, and a 0-sum report kept (API-85). All 14 parse cases and the warn-once unknown value; a non-boolean setting refused. All nine cells of the truth table throughprocess.env, and all nine through the Workers bindings reader; off from either side; a JSONfalsebinding; read once at construction (API-94, API-95). Off through the setting and through the variable: none of the nine headers on GET, PUT, HEAD, DELETE, TTL, lock and health, with L1-Status and User-Agent kept (API-96). The report on the next request only; never on health and kept for the next request (API-84); consumed by a rejected fetch and by a 503 (API-86); only to the configured API withredirect: 'manual'(API-77); every backend starting with an empty accumulator of its own (API-83: Node has nofork(), and a child process starts afresh); forwarded by all four factories,cachekitioWithTTLincluded.cache.l1-latency.test.ts, on a fake clock: the memoised hit, the L1 read by key, an object-argument hit,get(), acachekitio()instance as backend, a stale serve whose revalidation's synchronous part shows in the duration, and a cold-path read that L1 serves after a lock wait (API-79); a miss and an L2 hit read the clock at their start and are discarded, so the draw precedes the outcome; a joined call andexists()never timed, and the cold-path test pins that a read insidewrap()adds no second duration (API-80). Sampling: over 40,000 calls alternating two keys at 1 in 4, each key gets 1/4 of the timed calls and the gaps vary, so no counter pattern (API-81).

Choices measured on the way:
Math.randomas the draw cost about 70 more than xorshift32; 1 in 64 cost +7.3% on this row and 1 in 512 +1.95%.Node 22.23.3, at this head (not gated, 3 repeats):

On Node 22 the memoised hit pays about 330 instructions for the same draw, close to the cost of interpreting it; the gate runs on Node 24, and Node 22 is theenginesfloor, so this row is the one to watch.Docs
