One job on main renders the benchmark chart and publishes the result for each measured PR, including forks. The publisher caches the Linux executable in GitHub Actions under fff-perf-chart-v1-<tree>, where <tree> is the Git tree hash of perf/chart/. On a cache hit it runs the renderer directly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • Performance results are published after the performance workflow completes, including for pull requests from forks. Eligible runs are checked to ensure the pull request remains open and its latest commit matches the completed run.
    • Results identify skipped comparisons when core Rust or dependency changes are absent, and report successful or failed comparisons or measurement errors. A chart is attached when rendering and release operations succeed. Comments include a link to the workflow run.
  • Documentation
    • Updated performance documentation to describe the publishing flow, chart caching and release, and local chart instructions.

Walkthrough

The performance workflow now uploads a comparison plan and benchmark measurements. A publisher triggered by workflow completion validates the plan and PR, processes results, renders charts when possible, and reports eligible results.

Changes: Performance publishing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Comparison plan and benchmark setup
.github/workflows/performance.yml, .github/workflows/performance-reference.yml
The plan job writes comparison kind, PR number, and base SHA to the fff-plan artifact for PR and skip runs. Build setup and artifact action references also change.
Workflow-run processing and chart rendering
.github/workflows/performance-publish.yml
The publisher handles eligible completed runs, validates the plan, restores or builds the chart renderer, and downloads measurements.
PR verification and result publication
.github/workflows/performance-publish.yml, .github/workflows/performance.yml, perf/README.md
The publisher checks PR state and revision before reporting results. It posts eligible comments and attaches charts only after rendering and release operations succeed. The old report and publish jobs are removed, and the README describes the updated flow.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

The new publishing flow is valid and builds the chart renderer only from trusted main-branch code. One small issue remains: the PR number read from the plan file is checked only for digits. A malformed value can make that publishing run fail instead of being rejected cleanly. This is a narrow failure and is fine to fix as a follow-up.

Remove the write token from the renderer step.

GH_TOKEN has contents: write at job level. It is visible to everything in this step. This includes the cargo build scripts and the downloaded release binary. The binary has no checksum check. It parses .bench files that PR-controlled code produced.

Run the build and render with no token. Move gh release create and gh release upload into a separate step. That step gets GH_TOKEN and receives only the trusted renderer.

Add timeout-minutes to the publish job.

This group now holds up to 100 runs, one at a time. The job can run cargo build and has no timeout. One hung build blocks every PR for up to 6 hours. Set timeout-minutes: 30 on the job.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Validate the PR number range.

^[0-9]+$ accepts 0, 007 and 30-digit strings. The value goes into an API URL and a file name. An out-of-range number makes gh api fail with 404, and the step then fails. Reject bad values here, as the retrieved learning requires.

Proposed fix

-          [[ "$kind" =~ ^(pr|skip)$ && "$number" =~ ^[0-9]+$ && "$base" =~ ^[0-9a-f]{40}$ ]]
+          [[ "$kind" =~ ^(pr|skip)$ && "$number" =~ ^[1-9][0-9]{0,8}$ && "$base" =~ ^[0-9a-f]{40}$ ]]

Based on learnings: validate parsed numeric identifiers against a sane range before use.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Do not build the renderer in the privileged job.

This job has contents: write, pull-requests: write and statuses: write. It builds perf/chart with Cargo and saves the result to a shared cache. The checkout uses github.sha, which is trusted base code. That limits the risk. But the build runs with GH_TOKEN in the job env, and build scripts and dependencies execute with it. The cache key uses only the tree hash. Another job could write a poisoned entry under the same key, and this job runs the restored binary with a write token. Move the build to a separate job without the token. Pass the binary on as an artifact. Alternatively, publish the binary only from a trusted main run.
