Summary

  • Timing now reports OtherMs: the part of TotalMs outside the three phases (file resolution, planning, the checks that find unchanged methods). On large assemblies this is the longest part of a run, and it no longer has to be computed by hand.
  • When some Skipped rows belong to sibling files the run re-applied on its own, Message says how many: Skipped: 3 (2 in sibling files the run re-applied on its own; Outcome does not count those).
  • The Added row of a method with a test attribute now carries a LifecycleNote saying the Unity Test Runner will not discover it until uloop compile.

User Impact

Each of these values was already correct, but easy to misread when looking at one place in the response:

  • A run that added a [Test] method answered Outcome=Applied, and the fact that the Test Runner cannot see the method yet was only in Warnings. Its Added row had an empty Reason and LifecycleNote.
  • An Outcome=Applied run could end its message with Skipped: 1. when the only Skipped row was a sibling's. Outcome only judges the requested files, but nothing in the message said that row was not one of them.
  • The time outside the phases took TotalMs - AnalysisMs - ShimCompileMs - PatchMs to find.

The totals (SkippedTotal and the others) and the Outcome rules are unchanged, and so is the existing warning text.

Before / after (placeholders)

Timing:

before: { "AnalysisMs": <A>, "ShimCompileMs": <S>, "PatchMs": <P>, "TotalMs": <T> }
after:  { "AnalysisMs": <A>, "ShimCompileMs": <S>, "PatchMs": <P>, "OtherMs": <T-A-S-P>, "TotalMs": <T> }

Message, Skipped clause of an applied run:

Skipped rows Before After
none in sibling files ... Skipped: <n>. unchanged
<m> of <n> in sibling files ... Skipped: <n>. ... Skipped: <n> (<m> in sibling files the run re-applied on its own; Outcome does not count those).

The type-only message (Hot reload introduced <k> type(s); no method body needed patching.) ends with the same clause.

Added row of a new test method:

before: { "Kind": "Added", "Method": "<Namespace>.<Fixture>.<NewTest>()", "Reason": "", "FilePath": "<path>.cs", "LifecycleNote": "", ... }
after:  { "Kind": "Added", "Method": "<Namespace>.<Fixture>.<NewTest>()", "Reason": "", "FilePath": "<path>.cs",
          "LifecycleNote": "Test method: not discovered by the Unity Test Runner until 'uloop compile'; 'uloop run-tests --skip-compile' will not find or run it.", ... }

Changes

  • Timing: HotReloadTimingBreakdown computes OtherMs and refuses a total shorter than its phases with ArgumentOutOfRangeException, since the phases are spans inside the run. The response copies it. The Go CLI passes Timing through as a map, so it is unchanged.
  • Skipped clause: HotReloadRequestedFileOutcomeSummary.CountSkippedSiblingOutcomes counts the Skipped rows of re-applied siblings, using the same sibling set that Outcome leaves out. HotReloadApplyResponseBuilder builds the clause once and hands it to both the ordinary applied message and the type-only message. HotReloadIntroducedTypeResponseSection.TryBuildMessage now takes the clause instead of a count. The other message branches are untouched.
  • Added test note: the transform worker sets the entry's LifecycleNote to the new note under the same condition as the existing warning: an added method with a test attribute. A one-shot lifecycle note still takes precedence.
    • The Editor already copies the worker's note onto Added rows that are not Unity messages, so the Editor side is unchanged.
    • The counts that read LifecycleNote are not affected. One counts patched rows only; the other matches the forwarded Unity message notes exactly.
  • Docs: references/output.md describes all three changes, and the generated skill copies are regenerated.
  • Comment-only commit (the fifth commit), fixing comments these changes made inaccurate:
    • The two lifecycleNote field comments said the note is null unless the method is a one-shot lifecycle method.
    • The Why comment above the Skipped clause said the count was taken there.

Existing tests changed

  • HotReloadToolTests.BuildApplyResponse_SiblingRowsReapplied_SaysHowManyOfTheCountsCameFromSiblings: the expected message now ends with the sibling clause. Its only Skipped row is a sibling's.
  • HotReloadToolTests.BuildApplyResponse_SiblingRowsAllSkipped_AddsNoReappliedCount: adds one assert for Skipped: 1 (1 in sibling files.
  • HotReloadToolTests.BuildApplyResponse_WithTiming_CopiesEveryPhase: adds an assert for OtherMs.
  • HotReloadGroupProcessorTests.RunGroupWithPhaseStubsAsync (test helper): it completed the timing with a total of 0 after phases the stubs really waited for, and the new invariant rejects that. It now times its ProcessGroupAsync call with a Stopwatch and passes that total, as the production run does. The three tests that use it pass unchanged.

The other tests that expect Skipped: were checked one by one. None of their Skipped rows are in sibling files, so their expectations stay.

New tests

  • HotReloadRunTimingTests:
    • Complete_ReportsOtherAsTotalMinusThePhases: phases of 100 + 200 + 30 ms in a 1000 ms total give 670.
    • Complete_TotalEqualToThePhases_ReportsZeroOther
    • Complete_TotalBelowThePhases_Throws
  • HotReloadToolTests:
    • BuildApplyMessage_RequestedAndSiblingRowsSkipped_SaysHowManySkippedRowsAreSiblings: the requested file has a Patched and a Skipped row; the sibling has a Patched row and 2 Skipped rows. The message reads Skipped: 3 (2 in sibling files.
    • BuildApplyResponse_IntroducedTypeOnlyWithSiblingSkipped_SaysTheSkippedRowIsASibling
  • TransformWorkerAddedMemberTests:
    • Emit_AddedTestMethod_CarriesTestRunnerLifecycleNote: [Test] and [UnityTest] cases, compared against the exact text.
    • Emit_EditedExistingTestMethod_HasNoLifecycleNote: first asserts that the entry exists and is not addedMethod.
    • Emit_AddedPlainMethod_HasNoLifecycleNote

Each new test was seen failing before its change:

  • The OtherMs tests ran against a stub that reported 0 without the check.
  • The message tests ran against the old builder.
  • The worker tests ran against the old worker. The two CarriesTestRunnerLifecycleNote cases got null, which also shows that the green run used the rebuilt worker.

Mutations

Mutation Run Failed (as observed)
(c1) OtherMs always 0 timing + tool tests, 111 Complete_ReportsOtherAsTotalMinusThePhases, BuildApplyResponse_WithTiming_CopiesEveryPhase
(c2) negative-total check removed timing + tool tests, 111 Complete_TotalBelowThePhases_Throws
(b1) sibling Skipped count passed as 0 tool tests, 106 SiblingRowsReapplied_..., SiblingRowsAllSkipped_..., RequestedAndSiblingRowsSkipped_..., IntroducedTypeOnlyWithSiblingSkipped_...
(b2) CountSkippedSiblingOutcomes ignores Kind tool tests, 106 RequestedAndSiblingRowsSkipped_... ((3 in sibling instead of 2), plus SiblingRowsReapplied_... and SiblingRows_AreMarkedReappliedFromSiblingWhateverTheirKind
(b3) type-only message gets the clause without the sibling count tool tests, 106 IntroducedTypeOnlyWithSiblingSkipped_...
(a1) note without the added-method condition worker added-member tests, 77 Emit_EditedExistingTestMethod_HasNoLifecycleNote
(a2) note without the test-attribute condition worker added-member tests, 77 Emit_AddedPlainMethod_HasNoLifecycleNote
(a3) one-shot note only worker added-member tests, 77 Emit_AddedTestMethod_CarriesTestRunnerLifecycleNote (both cases)

Under (b2), SiblingRows_AreMarkedReappliedFromSiblingWhateverTheirKind failed through the new Debug.Assert, which checks that the sibling Skipped count never exceeds the Skipped count. Each mutation was applied on top of a commit and reverted with git checkout, leaving the tree clean.

Live check

In the Editor of this repository's project, a temporary [Test] public void TempAddedForReadabilityCheck() { } was added to a small existing EditMode test class. Then uloop hot-reload --files <that file> --compile-on-skip off ran.

  • The response had Outcome=Applied and AddedTotal=1. The Added row's LifecycleNote is the new note, and the existing warning is still in Warnings.
  • Timing was AnalysisMs 218, ShimCompileMs 645, PatchMs 0, OtherMs 499, TotalMs 1362 (1362 - 218 - 645 - 0 = 499).
  • After the file was restored and uloop compile ran, --status reported ActivePatchTotal=0.

Verification

  • uloop compile: 0 errors, 0 warnings.
  • uloop run-tests --filter-type regex over the 13 touched or related classes passed 626/626:
    • HotReloadRunTimingTests, HotReloadToolTests, HotReloadOrchestratorTests, HotReloadGroupProcessorTests, HotReloadGroupProcessorLeaveOutTests
    • HotReloadApplyOutcomeTests, HotReloadDefaultFilesTests, HotReloadRecommendedNextActionTests, HotReloadIntroducedTypeResponseTests, HotReloadRequestedFileOutcomeSummaryTests
    • TransformWorkerAddedMemberTests, TransformWorkerClientTests, HotReloadOneShotCallerNoteBuilderTests
  • The comment-only commit rebuilds the worker. After it, TransformWorkerAddedMemberTests and TransformWorkerClientTests passed 178/178, and compile reported 0 errors and 0 warnings.
  • Other local checks, all passing:
    • scripts/check-file-length.sh: no file over 500.
    • scripts/check-code-complexity.sh: 0 issues with fail-on-exceeded.
    • Dead-code scan with the CI gate arguments: exit 0, PublicCandidate 36 of 37, none of the new symbols listed.
    • scripts/sync-tool-docs.sh --check: no drift.
    • check-skill-size: exit 0.
    • The generated skill copies are byte-identical to the source.
  • This PR targets the integration branch, so PR CI runs only Complexity Report, File Length Report and Dead Code Gate. The full EditMode suite was not run locally.

Review in cubic

Reading where a slow run spent its time meant subtracting the three
phases from TotalMs by hand, and on large assemblies that remainder
(file resolution, planning, the unchanged-method checks) is the longest
part of the run.

- HotReloadTimingBreakdown now computes OtherMs and refuses a total
  shorter than its phases, since the phases are spans inside the total.
- The response copies OtherMs next to the phases.
- The group processor test helper passed a total of 0 after phases the
  stubs really waited for; it now times the call it makes, as the
  production run does.
An Applied run could end its message with "Skipped: 1." when the only
Skipped row belonged to a sibling file the run re-applied on its own.
Outcome leaves those rows out, so the bare count read as if one of the
requested edits had been skipped.

- When some Skipped rows are sibling rows, the clause now reads
  "Skipped: n (m in sibling files the run re-applied on its own;
  Outcome does not count those)."; otherwise it is unchanged.
- The clause is built once and used by both the ordinary applied
  message and the type-only message, which reported the same count.
- SkippedTotal and Outcome keep their rules.
… yet

A run that adds a [Test] method reports Outcome=Applied, and the fact
that the Unity Test Runner will not discover the method until a compile
was only in Warnings. Its Added row in Methods had an empty
LifecycleNote, so a reader of the row alone missed it.

- The worker now gives the entry of an added method with a test
  attribute a LifecycleNote saying so, under the same condition as the
  existing warning (added method and a test attribute).
- The one-shot lifecycle note still wins, so the rows that carry it keep
  it unchanged. Edited existing test methods get no note.
The hot reload output reference now describes the three response
changes: Timing.OtherMs replaces the sentence that TotalMs exceeds the
sum of the phases, Message names how many Skipped rows came from
re-applied siblings, and an added test method's row carries a
LifecycleNote. The generated skill copies are regenerated from it.
- Both lifecycle note field comments said the note is null unless the
  method is a one-shot lifecycle method, which no longer holds now that
  the worker also notes added test methods.
- The comment above the Skipped clause in the applied message said the
  count was taken there; it is now built once and only appended.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds sibling-file skipped-row counts to hot-reload messages, reports OtherMs as the remainder of whole-run timing, and attaches a Test Runner lifecycle note to added test methods. It also updates related tests and output documentation.

Changes

Sibling skipped-row messages

Layer / File(s) Summary
Count and report sibling skipped rows
Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadConstants.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadRequestedFileOutcomeSummary.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadApplyResponseBuilder.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadIntroducedTypeResponseSection.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/HotReload/HotReloadToolTests.cs, .agents/skills/uloop-hot-reload/references/output.md, .claude/skills/uloop-hot-reload/references/output.md, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/Skill/references/output.md
The response builder counts skipped outcomes from re-applied sibling files and adds that count to ordinary and introduced-type messages. Tests cover sibling and requested-file skipped rows. Output references describe sibling counts and related response fields.

Whole-run timing breakdown

Layer / File(s) Summary
Calculate and expose OtherMs
Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadTimingBreakdown.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadTimingResponse.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/HotReloadApplyResponseBuilder.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/HotReload/HotReloadGroupProcessorTests.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/HotReload/HotReloadRunTimingTests.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/HotReload/HotReloadToolTests.cs, .agents/skills/uloop-hot-reload/references/output.md, .claude/skills/uloop-hot-reload/references/output.md, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/Skill/references/output.md
The timing breakdown calculates OtherMs as total elapsed time minus analysis, shim compilation, and patching, and rejects a total shorter than those phases. The response and tests include OtherMs. The group-processing test helper measures the full call duration.

Added test method lifecycle notes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Assign lifecycle notes to added test methods
Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/TransformWorker~/TestAttributeNames.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/Shared/TransformWorkerDtos.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/TransformWorker~/WorkerEntry.cs, Packages/src/Editor/FirstPartyTools/HotReload/TransformWorker~/ShimMethodEmitter.cs, Assets/Tests/Editor/HotReload/TransformWorkerAddedMemberTests.cs
The worker assigns a Test Runner discovery note to added methods with test attributes and preserves existing one-shot lifecycle notes. Tests check added test methods, edited existing methods, and added methods without test attributes.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b0219

Some hot-reload messages omit the new sibling skipped-row detail. This is a limited reporting gap that can be fixed locally before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to b0219

The changes are confined to response data and diagnostic guidance. The inspected changes do not expand code-execution privileges or alter requested-file outcomes. Remaining uncertainty is mainly compatibility with downstream consumers of the changed output.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected incremental exposure is additional reporting: a residual duration, a count derived from already available sibling outcomes, and fixed test-discovery guidance. These changes do not establish a new executable target or increase patching authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Source attribute syntax can select a constant diagnostic note through the existing attribute-name matcher. The inspected consumers use that note for outcome annotation and annotation precedence, not as a patch-authorization or method-registration decision.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The new timing guard does not establish a reachable post-apply reporting failure in the inspected production flow. Each run owns its accumulator and total stopwatch; groups and measured phases execute sequentially, including isolation retries. Completion follows finalization, while thrown failures or cancellation propagate without reaching timing completion.

Append the skipped suffix to the body-edited type message.

If a retained introduced type has a patched body and a re-applied sibling has a Skipped row, TryBuildBodyEditedMessage returns at Line 88. The new append at Line 101 never runs. The response then reports patched bodies without identifying the sibling skipped rows. Append skippedCountSuffix to that successful branch too.
