Context

Arius.Core is already architected for bounded memory — channel-connected stages, streaming decorators, a SQLite-backed chunk index, filetree staging — and that architecture holds up. What had never had a pass is per-item allocation churn inside those bounded stages.

Each commit is one optimization, independently buildable and revertable, with its own measurement in the commit message.

Where the memory actually was

This started from Andrew Lock's article on removing byte[] allocations with ReadOnlySpan<T>. That specific technique (static readonly byte[] → static ReadOnlySpan<byte>) applies to exactly three sites here, worth ~30 bytes of process-lifetime allocation. It's done (63acf128) for correctness, but it changes nothing measurable.

The real costs were elsewhere:

  • TarBuilder grew a MemoryStream from zero capacity to 64 MB. MemoryStream doubles, so one bundle allocated and abandoned every intermediate array — measured at 276 MB of mostly-LOH garbage per 64 MB bundle.
  • SparseFingerprint.Sampler buffered every small file in its entirety while it was hashed. Regions() returns a single region equal to the whole file for anything under ~1 MiB, and files under 1 MiB are exactly the small/tar route. This runs on every full hash, not just --fast-hash.

Measured results

AllocationBenchmarks (new in 67ae231b; in-process, [MemoryDiagnoser], no Docker):

Component Before After
TarBuilder, seal one 64 MB bundle 276,498,485 B 85,592,289 B 3.2×
Sampler, 64 GB file 16,787,173 B 1,570 B 10,700×

Chunk-index lookup, one 256-hash batch 610,000 B 210,408 B 2.9×
ChunkIndexLocalStore read, 1000 rows 656,952 B 474,552 B 1.4×
ChunkIndexLocalStore write, 1000 rows 979,488 B 867,600 B 1.13×
FileTreeSerializer.Deserialize, 1000 entries 1,758,748 B 1,606,748 B 1.09×
HashCodec.ToLowerHex 304 B, 32.5 ns 152 B, 9.9 ns 3.3× faster
HashCodec.NormalizeHex (canonical input) 152 B 0 B —

Gen0/Gen1/Gen2 are now zero on both Sampler benchmarks.

End-to-end, ArchiveStepBenchmarks at RepresentativeScaleDivisor=1: 478.22 MB → 407.74 MB (−14.7%).

That is measured against a base run of the branch point (ee4e9f3e) on the same machine, Docker daemon and session — not against the committed 2026-05-01 row, which reports 33.16 s where this host runs the same commit in ~4 s. An earlier comparison against that row implied an implausible 9× speedup. Only Allocated is treated as signal here: with InvocationCount=1, no warmup and 3 iterations, the base reported Mean 4.089 s ± 30.995 s, so wall-clock and GC counts are inside the noise. The figure also includes the Azurite client and TestContainers fixture, so 14.7% sits on top of a large fixed overhead none of this touches.

Throughput changes beyond allocation

  • ChunkIndexService.LookupAsync issued up to 512 SQLite statements per "batch" — one FindPendingFlushEntry then one FindEntry per hash, each with its own pooled connection and PRAGMA synchronous round-trip. Now two set-based IN (…) queries per batch, with the parameter count padded to fixed buckets so the prepared statement is reused (a3e957a6).
  • ChunkDownloadStream was missing the async read path, so CopyToAsync fell through to BeginEndReadAsync, blocking a thread-pool thread per buffer for every restored byte — while every stream underneath it implements async correctly (12659ab8).
  • FileTreeStagingWriter opened, wrote and closed the node file per line, plus a Directory.CreateDirectory before each. Staging paths are flat, so that was the same directory re-created thousands of times per run. Handles are now kept open per stripe (a9bdefa7).
  • fs.GetFileSize was called four times per file — enumerate, hash, and both dedup branches. Now once, carried on BinaryFile (0ae0798c).
  • ProgressStream reported after every read, and consumers wrap it in Progress<T>, which posts a thread-pool work item per report — one per ~64–80 KiB of every archived and restored byte. Coalesced to 500 ms (8f367c6f).
  • The CLI had no FileDedupedEvent handler at all (the Mediator generator has been warning about it), so deduped files stayed in TrackedFiles for the whole run — a dictionary the display snapshots ~10×/second (10947e7b).

Three things the measurements corrected

Worth reviewing, because in each case my initial assumption was wrong:

  1. SqliteDataReader.GetBytes into a reused buffer made reads 5.6× worse (641 → 3620 KB per 1000 rows), because the provider routes it through a SqliteBlob. Reverted, with a comment so it isn't retried. Also: (byte[])reader.GetValue(...) does not box — byte[] is a reference type.
  2. FileTreeService.SerializeStorageAsync's ToArray() is load-bearing. Disposing the codec chain closes the underlying MemoryStream, and ToArray() is the only buffer accessor still valid after close. Switching it to ToArraySegment() produced 66 failures with "Cannot access a closed Stream".
  3. FileShare.None on the staging handles broke 56 tests — FileTreeBuilder reads staged nodes, so holding them exclusively for the length of an archive is a real behaviour change, not a test inconvenience. Now FileShare.Read, matching what File.AppendAllTextAsync used.

No persisted format changes

Blob names, the ArGCM1 envelope, filetree node lines, snapshot JSON and both SQLite schemas are byte-identical. GoldenFileDecryptionTests and RecoveryScriptTests (which exercise recover-chunk.py) pass, as does SparseFingerprintTests.Sampler_MatchesSeekingFingerprint_ForSameContent, the guard that both fingerprint compute paths still produce identical digests.

One note: SparseFingerprint now writes the size prefix with an explicit little-endian write instead of BitConverter.GetBytes, which was platform-endian. The design doc already specified "size as 8-byte LE", so this makes the documented framing explicit. No supported platform is big-endian, and the hashcache is a disposable local cache regardless.

Verification

Arius.E2E.Tests                        — Azurite workflow passes

The 4 real-Azure E2E tests fail on DNS locally (ariuscibec.blob.core.windows.net is NXDOMAIN, no ARIUS_AZURE_* vars set) — environmental, and they need CI credentials.

Deliberately not done

  • Directory.Build.props + Server GC. The props file would newly enable nullable on Arius.Explorer.Tests (it declares neither Nullable nor ImplicitUsings), so it isn't the behaviour-neutral refactor it looks like, and it delivers consistency rather than performance. Server GC can't be evaluated here: the E2E benchmark's ±31 s error swamps the 10–20% it might move, and Arius targets NAS hardware where per-core heaps are a real footprint cost. If wanted, it's one line in Arius.Cli.csproj.
  • Per-item logging guards. The eager Bytes().Humanize() / Short8 arguments at ArchiveCommandHandler.cs:399,491,507,534,573,588,595 and ~17 sites in ChunkIndexLocalStore are still evaluated when the level is disabled. Excluded by scope, still real.
  • PBKDF2 per blob. 100,000 SHA-256 iterations run per encrypted blob on both write and read — including per filetree node, so ls pays a full PBKDF2 per directory listed. Deriving once per run is format-compatible, but sharing a key makes GCM nonce uniqueness a cross-blob invariant (DeriveNonce XORs the block index into the low 4 bytes, so two blobs whose random nonce₀ agree on the high 8 bytes get overlapping nonce sequences, and reuse under a shared key leaks the authentication subkey). Needs a structured nonce₀ and its own ADR plus security review.
  • Inline-digest hash representation. 8fc47fe5 contains the measurement this was waiting on: the remaining per-row chunk-index read cost is the two hash strings (~304 B/row), not the arrays (~112 B). It changes ADR-0003's shape, so it needs its own ADR.
  • ProgressState.ContentHashToPath is never trimmed. Doing so safely needs a decision about which event marks a hash definitively finished — a tar entry's content hash and its parent tar's chunk hash are different keys.
  • ShardSerializer's ToArray() has the same shape as the filetree one but is the smallest payload (~100 KB, once per run at flush), and changing its return type ripples through ~35 test call sites plus two fake blob-service signatures.

Dead code flagged but not removed, per AGENTS.md: StreamExtensions.ToImmutableArray() has no callers, and ArchiveCommandHandler.cs:592 builds a ContentHashes list per bundle for TarBundleSealingEvent that no consumer reads.

ArchiveStepBenchmarks is end-to-end against Azurite, where fixture and SDK
overhead dominate and no single optimization is separable. At divisor=8 it
reports 115.94 MB allocated for a ~32 MB / 254-file repository; at divisor=1,
444.88 MB with 4000 Gen2 collections. Useful as a regression gate, useless for
attributing a specific fix.

Add AllocationBenchmarks: [MemoryDiagnoser], in-process, no Docker. One
benchmark per byte-pushing component that is a candidate for optimization —
HashCodec, SparseFingerprint.Sampler, FileTreeSerializer, TarBuilder, and the
ChunkIndexLocalStore read/write/lookup paths.

Program.cs gains a --class switch so both classes are runnable without editing
code, and --filter so one component can be re-measured on its own. The archive
path keeps its existing single-invocation job and tail-log append unchanged;
micro-benchmarks use BenchmarkDotNet's normal warmup/invocation defaults (which
the single-invocation job would make meaningless) and deliberately do not touch
benchmark-tail.md, whose schema is archive-specific.

Baseline on this machine (Apple M4, .NET 10.0.5):

  TarBuilder seal one 64 MB bundle              276,498,485 B  Gen2 1666

  HashCodec.NormalizeHex (already canonical)            152 B

Note the ToLowerHex fixture uses a digest with a-f nibbles on purpose. An
all-zero digest hexes to "000...0", and ToLowerInvariant then returns the same
instance via its no-change fast path, reporting 152 B and hiding the second
allocation the method really makes.

TarBuilder opened each bundle with `new MemoryStream()` — capacity zero — then
accumulated up to TarTargetSize (64 MB default). MemoryStream grows by doubling,
so reaching a 64 MB bundle allocated and abandoned every intermediate array
(256 B, 512 B, ... 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB). Measured: 276 MB of transient garbage
to seal one 64 MB bundle, nearly all of it on the LOH. This is the source of the
Gen2 collections that show up in ArchiveStepBenchmarks at divisor=1.

Pre-size the buffer instead. The capacity includes 25% headroom for tar framing:
a bundle seals on the summed *file* sizes, but the stream also carries two
512-byte header blocks plus an optional PAX extended block per entry, so the
serialized tar always runs over the target — presizing to exactly TarTargetSize
still took one growth step (measured 193.75 MB). A bundle of very many very
small files can still exceed the headroom and grow once; that is accepted rather
than worked around, since the entry count is not known up front.

AllocationBenchmarks, TarBuilder seal one 64 MB bundle:

  before  276,498,485 B (263.7 MB)  46.92 ms  Gen2 1666
  after    85,720,268 B ( 81.8 MB)  28.46 ms  Gen2  562

3.4x less allocated, 39% faster. Live footprint is unchanged: SealedTar.Content
already retained an oversized backing array (128 MB post-doubling), and now
retains an 80 MB one.

Not pooling the buffer here on purpose: SealedTar.Content is an ArraySegment
that outlives the MemoryStream and escapes through sealedTarChannel to the tar
upload stage, so pooling needs a defined return point. Presize first, measure,
then decide.

Verified: dotnet test src/Arius.Core.Tests — 662 passed, 1 skipped (includes
TarBuilderTests).

SparseFingerprint.Sampler allocated one byte[] per region, eagerly, in its
constructor — once per file. Regions() returns a *single region equal to the
whole file* for anything under ~1 MiB (size <= k*BlockSize), and files under
1 MiB are exactly the small/tar route, i.e. the bulk of files. So the sampler
duplicated every small file in memory while it was hashed, and TarBuilder then
buffered the same bytes again. For a large file it is up to 64 x 256 KiB =
16 MiB per in-flight file, times HashWorkers=4, all on the LOH.

This runs on *every* full hash, not just --fast-hash: Record is always called so
that a later --fast-hash run finds a warm cache.

Lay the regions back-to-back in one ArrayPool buffer and make Sampler
IDisposable, returning it from SparseSamplingStream.Dispose. The lifetime was
already clean — SparseSamplingStream is `await using`-scoped per file and
Fingerprint() is called before scope exit, and Finish() returns a fresh 32-byte
digest rather than the capture buffer.

Two details that keep the digest a function of the content:

- The rented buffer is cleared. A rented array arrives dirty, and a region never
  offered to Capture (a file that shrank mid-read, or a read that stopped early)
  must contribute zeros exactly as the previous `new byte[]` did.
- Finish() hashes the whole span in one AppendData call. The regions are
  contiguous and in order, so this is byte-identical to appending each region
  individually, which is what the framing contract with ComputeBySeeking needs.

Also pools ComputeBySeeking's read buffer (up to 1 MiB per fingerprint-floor
check) and replaces BitConverter.GetBytes(size) with an explicit little-endian
write. BitConverter is platform-endian; the design doc already specifies
"size as 8-byte LE", so this makes the documented framing explicit rather than
incidental. No supported platform is big-endian, and the hashcache is a
disposable local cache regardless.

AllocationBenchmarks:

  Sampler small file (200 KB)   205,256 B ->    304 B   88.0 -> 68.1 us
  Sampler large file (64 GB)  16,787,173 B ->  1,570 B  6270 -> 5258 us

Gen0/Gen1/Gen2 all drop to zero on both. What remains is the Regions list, the
offsets array, and the returned digest.

Verified: dotnet test src/Arius.Core.Tests — 662 passed, 1 skipped, including
SparseFingerprintTests.Sampler_MatchesSeekingFingerprint_ForSameContent, which
is the guard that both compute paths still produce identical digests.

HashCodec is the funnel every ContentHash/ChunkHash/FileTreeHash construction
passes through, so both of these are per-hash costs.

ToLowerHex did Convert.ToHexString(digest).ToLowerInvariant() — allocating the
uppercase string and then a second lowercased copy. Convert.ToHexStringLower
(.NET 9+; this targets net10.0) does it in one vectorized pass.

NormalizeHex always built a new string from its stackalloc scratch buffer, even
when the input was already canonical lowercase — which is the dominant case,
since it parses values Arius itself wrote to SQLite, snapshot JSON, blob names,
and pointer files. Track whether any character actually changed and return the
input when none did. Every character is still validated for length and alphabet,
and the FormatException messages are unchanged.

Returning the caller's string is safe: .NET strings are immutable and standalone
(no substring buffer sharing, so nothing large is retained), and hash equality
is by value, not reference.

AllocationBenchmarks:

  ToLowerHex                        304 B -> 152 B   32.53 -> 9.14 ns
  NormalizeHex (already canonical)  152 B ->   0 B   42.46 -> 27.09 ns
  NormalizeHex (uppercase input)    152 B -> 152 B   53.30 -> 43.94 ns

The uppercase case still allocates, correctly — it has to build a new string.

ArchiveCommandHandler called fs.GetFileSize for the same file at four points in
one run: the enumerate stage, the hash stage, and both branches of the dedup
router. Each call is `new FileInfo(root.Resolve(path)).Length` — a FileInfo
allocation, a stat syscall, and ~4 strings from LocalDirectory.Resolve.

Carry the size on BinaryFile instead, captured once by LocalFileEnumerator when
the entry is discovered. This extends an invariant the pipeline already has
rather than inventing one: HashedFilePair captures the source timestamps at hash
time for exactly this reason, documented as "no downstream stage re-reads file
metadata".

Net effect per archived file: 4 stat syscalls and 4 path resolutions become 1.

The enumerate and hash sites use `Binary?.FileSize ?? 0L` because pointer-only
pairs legitimately reach both and have no binary. The two dedup sites use
`Binary!.FileSize`: the `Binary is null` branch above them has already
continued, so zero is not a reachable outcome there and `?? 0L` would imply
otherwise. (The old code called GetFileSize unconditionally at those two sites,
which would have thrown FileNotFoundException on a pointer-only pair had that
guard not existed.)

Verified:
  dotnet test src/Arius.Core.Tests        — 662 passed, 1 skipped
  dotnet test src/Arius.Integration.Tests — 82 passed, 4 skipped (Azurite)

No micro-benchmark for this one: it removes syscalls, not allocations, so it
shows up in ArchiveStepBenchmarks rather than AllocationBenchmarks.

Two full copies of every filetree node, on paths that run once per directory —
thousands of times per run, with SynchronizeWorkers=32 in flight:

- DeserializeStorageAsync copied the decompressed node out of its MemoryStream
  (ms.ToArray()) purely to hand it to FileTreeSerializer.Deserialize. Widen
  Deserialize to ReadOnlySpan<byte> and pass the stream's own buffer via the
  existing StreamExtensions.ToArraySegment(). This is the read path behind ls,
  restore, and the archive tree build.
- WriteCacheAtomicallyAsync called plaintext.ToArray() on a ReadOnlyMemory<byte>
  only because RelativeFileSystem.WriteAllBytesAsync took a byte[]. Add a
  ReadOnlyMemory<byte> overload beside the array one, mirroring
  File.WriteAllBytesAsync which offers both, so no existing call site changes.

SerializeStorageAsync deliberately keeps its ToArray(). Disposing the
encryption/compression chain also closes the underlying MemoryStream, and
ToArray() is the only buffer accessor that stays valid after close — Length and
TryGetBuffer both throw ObjectDisposedException. The test suite caught this:
switching it produced 66 failures with "Cannot access a closed Stream". Removing
that copy needs a leaveOpen on IEncryptionService.WrapForEncryption or a
non-closing stream shim, which is a wider change than this warrants.

ShardSerializer has the same ToArray() shape and is also left alone: the shard
payload is the smallest of the three (~100 KB, once per run at flush), and
changing its return type would ripple through ~35 test call sites plus two fake
blob-service signatures.

No micro-benchmark moves for this one — the copies are in FileTreeService, which
AllocationBenchmarks does not cover, so it is verified by the test suite and by
inspection, and will show up in ArchiveStepBenchmarks. (The FileTreeSerializer
rows did improve, 1.68 -> 1.53 MB and 22% faster, but that is step 3's
NormalizeHex change becoming visible — ~1000 entries x 152 B — not this one; the
baseline predates it.)

Verified: dotnet test src/Arius.Core.Tests — 662 passed, 1 skipped.

BindEntry called Convert.FromHexString(hash.ToString()) for both hash columns of
every row, allocating a fresh byte[32] per hash. The upsert commands are already
reused across a batch (CreateUpsertCommand is hoisted out of the loop), so the
buffers can be too: allocate two per command and overwrite them in place. Each
ExecuteNonQuery completes before the next row rewrites them, so a 256-row batch
binds 2 arrays instead of 512. Same treatment for the EnrichThinChunks bind loop.

  ChunkIndexLocalStore.UpsertRemoteBacked (1000 rows)
    before  956.5 KB  1944 us
    after   847.3 KB  1475 us

The 109 KB delta is exactly 1000 rows x 2 x (32 B + 24 B array header), so it is
attributable rather than coincidental. 24% faster as a bonus.

The read path is deliberately left on (byte[])reader.GetValue(...). Reading into
a reusable buffer via SqliteDataReader.GetBytes was tried and measured 5.6x
WORSE — ReadRangeEntries went 641 KB -> 3620 KB per 1000 rows and 3.4x slower —
because the provider routes GetBytes through a SqliteBlob. A comment records
this so it is not retried.

Two corrections to earlier assumptions, for the record:

- (byte[])reader.GetValue(...) does not box. byte[] is a reference type, so the
  cast is free; the only allocation is the array itself.
- The remaining per-row read cost is dominated by the two hash *strings*, not
  the arrays (~304 B vs ~112 B per row). Eliminating it needs the deferred
  inline-digest hash representation, not a better reader accessor. That is the
  measurement the hash-representation decision was waiting on.

The read rows did improve in this run (ReadRangeEntries 641 -> 463 KB, FindEntry
x256 656 -> 610 KB) but that is the earlier ToLowerHex change becoming visible,
not this commit — the recorded baseline predates it.

ChunkIndexService.LookupAsync is documented as doing "one batched lookup per
batch instead of a round-trip per file". That is true of *remote* round-trips
but not of local ones: it looped over the 256 hashes calling
FindPendingFlushEntry, then looped again calling FindEntry, so a single batch
issued up to 512 statements — each with its own pooled connection, its own
PRAGMA synchronous round-trip, its own command, and its own parameter bind.

Add FindEntries / FindPendingFlushEntries to ChunkIndexLocalStore, each issuing
one `content_hash IN (...)` query, and call those instead. The two phases stay
separate because they have to: the dirty-row probe decides which hashes need
remote coverage, and the entry probe must run after coverage completes. So this
is two set queries per batch rather than one, down from 512 single-row ones.

The parameter count is padded to fixed buckets (1/4/16/64/256) so the command
text repeats across calls and SQLite can reuse the prepared statement instead of
compiling fresh SQL for every distinct batch size. Padding slots repeat the
first hash, which is safe because this is a set membership test — duplicates
cannot add rows. SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER is 32766, well above the top bucket.

Semantics are unchanged: dirty rows still win over remote-backed rows, hashes
absent from both are absent from the result, and the caller already deduped via
Distinct().

AllocationBenchmarks, one 256-hash dedup batch:

  FindEntry x256 (per-hash)   610.00 KB  1002.0 us
  FindEntries x1 (batched)    205.48 KB   381.8 us

3x less allocated, 2.6x faster — and LookupAsync performs this twice per batch,
so the per-run saving is roughly double that.

The single-hash FindEntry/FindPendingFlushEntry remain for the single-hash
LookupAsync overload, which IChunkIndexService already flags with a TODO as
having no production callers. Left in place rather than removed, per AGENTS.md
on pre-existing dead code.

ChunkDownloadStream overrode only Read(byte[], int, int). Stream's base
implementations therefore routed ReadAsync(Memory<byte>) back through
ReadAsync(byte[], ...) and on to BeginEndReadAsync, which blocks a thread-pool
thread on the synchronous Read for every buffer of every restored byte — while
every stream underneath it (AesGcmDecryptingStream, AutoDetectDecompressionStream,
PrefixedStream, ProgressStream) implements the async path correctly.

Add the span/memory/async overrides as straight delegation, plus CopyToAsync so
the restore pump does not re-enter the base copy loop. This is the whole restore
download path: blob -> progress -> decrypt -> decompress -> here.

Pure delegation, no behavioural change. The Interlocked.Exchange double-dispose
guard is untouched.

No AllocationBenchmarks row: this frees thread-pool threads rather than reducing
allocation, so it shows in ArchiveStepBenchmarks' "Completed Work Items" and in
restore wall-clock.

ProgressStream reported after every read, and its consumers wrap the callback in
Progress<T> (ArchiveVerb, JobRunner), which posts a thread-pool work item per
report. That is one queued work item per ~64-80 KiB of every archived and
restored byte, and it is what ArchiveStepBenchmarks' "Completed Work Items"
counts — 39,835 at divisor=1, 506,427 on the full workflow.

Throttle to at most one report per 500 ms, using Stopwatch (monotonic) rather
than wall-clock time.

Three properties are preserved deliberately, each of which the test suite
insisted on:

- The first read always reports, so a progress bar moves immediately instead of
  after a blank interval — and a stream consumed in a single read still reports
  before it ever reaches EOF.
- The true total is emitted at EOF (a read returning 0) and again on dispose for
  a stream abandoned early. Flushing only on dispose was my first attempt and it
  was wrong: a consumer that reads to the end and then inspects progress before
  disposing would see a stale figure, which is exactly what
  ReadAsync_FinalProgressEqualsLength and ReadSpan_ReportsProgress caught.
- A zero-length source still reports nothing (Read_ZeroLengthSource_NoProgressReported),
  so an empty stream does not emit a spurious 0.

Two tests encoded the old per-read contract and are updated to the new one,
keeping their intent:

- Read_ReportsProgressAfterEachChunk asserted exactly 4 reports for 4 reads.
  Renamed to Read_CoalescesReports_ButStillReportsTheTotal, asserting progress
  starts, never goes backwards, and ends at the total.
- UploadLargeAsync_RetryAfterMetadataConflict_ReportsSingleProgressSequence
  asserted the literal sequence [512, 1024, 1536, 2048]. It is named for a
  property — a retry must not restart or duplicate the sequence — so it now
  asserts that property: strictly increasing, no repeats, finishing on the true
  total.

streaming.md is updated: its "Open seams" previously said smoothing was left to
the consumer, which is no longer true.

Verified: dotnet test src/Arius.Core.Tests — 662 passed, 1 skipped.

BlobPaths prefixes were expression-bodied properties, so every blob operation
re-ran `RelativePath.Root / PathSegment.Parse("chunks")` and allocated a fresh
path. ChunkPath/ThinChunkPath/FileTreePath compound two of them, and
ThinChunkPath runs 64-wide per tar bundle. Make them static readonly fields —
the sibling RepositoryLocalStatePaths already does exactly this, so this makes
the two consistent.

PathSegment.TryParse and RelativePath.TryParse used value.Any(char.IsControl).
LINQ over a string allocates a CharEnumerator (a class) per call, and Parse runs
for every blob path and every filetree entry. Replaced with a foreach over the
string, which the compiler lowers to indexer access and allocates nothing.
char.IsControl is still the predicate, so the accepted character set is
unchanged — this is not a hand-rolled range check.

And the referenced article's actual pattern: three static readonly byte[] magic
constants become static ReadOnlySpan<byte> properties, so the u8 literals point
at assembly RVA data instead of being defensively copied to the heap at static
init. Every use site was already .Length, SequenceEqual, or Stream.Write, all of
which take a span.

Worth being straight about the size of that last one: it removes three
process-lifetime allocations totalling ~30 bytes. It is correct and idiomatic,
and it is what the article asks for, but it is not where the memory was — the
preceding commits are.

Verified:
  dotnet test src/Arius.Core.Tests        — 662 passed, 1 skipped
  dotnet test src/Arius.Integration.Tests — 82 passed, 4 skipped, including
    GoldenFileDecryptionTests and RecoveryScriptTests, which are the guards that
    the ArGCM1 bytes and recover-chunk.py compatibility are untouched.

…ripe hash

Two problems in FileTreeStagingWriter.AppendLineAsync, which runs once per
archived file plus once per new directory edge.

The stripe hash boxed on every append:

    _lockStripes[(uint)StringComparer.Ordinal.GetHashCode(path) % ...]

RelativePath is a struct, so this bound to IEqualityComparer.GetHashCode(object)
— boxing the struct, then falling through to obj.GetHashCode() because it is not
a string. The StringComparer was doing nothing at all. Now path.GetHashCode().
This changes which stripe a path maps to, which is harmless: stripes only
partition a lock and carry no persisted meaning.

And the append opened, wrote, and closed the node file every time — via
File.AppendAllTextAsync, plus a Directory.CreateDirectory before each one.
Staging node paths are flat (Root / directoryId), so that was the *same*
directory being re-created thousands of times per run.

Give each stripe one open append handle. The stripe's gate already serializes
every write to a node, so it also guards that stripe's handle — no second lock,
and no race between a write and a re-target. A stripe re-points its handle when
a different node arrives; the archive walk is depth-first, so consecutive files
land in the same directory and hit the same node, which is the common case.
Handles are bounded by StripeCount (256), which matters on the small NAS
hardware Arius targets.

The line is written as pooled UTF-8 bytes plus a '\n' rather than `line + "\n"`,
so there is no per-line string concat, and no BOM — byte-identical to what
File.AppendAllTextAsync produced.

Two deliberate choices:

- Flush per line. Staging is disposable scratch (ADR-0006) so buffering would be
  durable enough, but flushing keeps failure semantics exact: a write error still
  surfaces from this call, which is what the claim-release in
  AppendDirectoryEntriesAsync depends on to avoid orphaning a subtree. The win is
  dropping the open/create-directory/close, not the write.
- FileShare.Read on the handle, matching what File.AppendAllTextAsync used.
  FileShare.None was the first attempt and it broke 56 tests: FileTreeBuilder
  reads staged nodes, and holding them exclusively for the length of an archive
  would be a real behaviour change, not just a test inconvenience.

Because the flush is per line and sharing is unchanged, Dispose stays
synchronous — no IAsyncDisposable churn across the ~10 construction sites.

Verified:
  dotnet test src/Arius.Core.Tests        — 662 passed, 1 skipped
  dotnet test src/Arius.Integration.Tests — 82 passed, 4 skipped (Azurite)
  dotnet test src/Arius.E2E.Tests         — the Azurite workflow passes; the 4
    real-Azure tests fail on DNS (ariuscibec.blob.core.windows.net is NXDOMAIN
    and no ARIUS_AZURE_* vars are set locally), i.e. environmental, not caused
    by this change.

Two problems in the CLI's archive progress bookkeeping.

There was no FileDedupedEvent handler at all — the Mediator source generator has
been warning "found message without any registered handler" for it — so a
deduped file stayed in ProgressState.TrackedFiles in state Hashed for the entire
run. That dictionary grew unboundedly with the deduped file count, and
BuildDisplay snapshots it (ConcurrentDictionary.Values, which copies under every
bucket lock) about ten times a second. Redraw cost therefore scaled with total
files archived rather than with files in flight — worst on exactly the runs where
dedup is doing its job. Add FileDedupedHandler to remove those rows.

That is also why the .Values.Where(...) in BuildDisplay is left as it is: with
the leak fixed, TrackedFiles only holds files actually being hashed or uploaded,
which is bounded by the worker counts, so the snapshot is now cheap.

TarEntryAddedHandler ran, once per small file, a Values snapshot plus
Where(Accumulating).OrderByDescending(BundleNumber).FirstOrDefault() just to find
the bundle currently accumulating. TarBundleSealingHandler did the same. Hold the
reference on ProgressState instead: set it when a bundle starts, clear it when
one seals. Only the single-threaded TarBuilder stage raises those lifecycle
events, so the writes are ordered; the reference is published via Volatile for
the display thread.

Rendered output is unchanged — this is bookkeeping only.

Still outstanding and deliberately not touched here: ProgressState.ContentHashToPath
is never trimmed and allocates a ConcurrentBag per distinct content hash. Trimming
it safely needs a decision about which event marks a hash definitively finished
(a tar entry's content hash and its parent tar's chunk hash are different keys),
which is a bigger question than this commit.

Verified:
  dotnet test src/Arius.Cli.Tests — 164 passed
  dotnet build src/Arius.slnx    — succeeded; the FileDedupedEvent
    "no registered handler" warning is gone (RoutingCompleteEvent and
    FinalizingSnapshotEvent still warn, pre-existing and out of scope)

RepresentativeScaleDivisor=1 run of ArchiveStepBenchmarks after the allocation
work, with the divisor constant reverted to 8 afterwards as usual.

Allocated: 478.22 MB -> 407.74 MB, -14.7%.

That comparison is against a base run of ee4e9f3 (the branch point) executed on
this same machine, Docker daemon, and session — not against the committed
2026-05-01 row. That row reports 33.16 s where this host runs the same commit in
~4 s, so it is not a like-for-like reference, and an earlier attempt to compare
against it suggested an implausible 9x speedup.

Only Allocated is treated as a real signal here. With InvocationCount=1,
WarmupCount=0 and 3 iterations, the base run reported Mean 4.089 s with Error
+/-30.995 s (one iteration at 6.05 s against two near 3.1 s), so wall-clock and
the Gen0/1/2 collection counts are inside the noise at this sample size. Per
component, the attributable wins are in AllocationBenchmarks, recorded in the
individual commits.

Note this figure includes the Azurite client, the TestContainers fixture, and
synthetic-data materialization, so a 14.7% end-to-end reduction sits on top of a
large fixed overhead that none of these changes touch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds allocation benchmarks and changes archive progress tracking, TAR buffer sizing, chunk-index lookups, shared buffering, stream I/O, and progress reporting.

Changes

Performance optimizations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Micro-benchmarks and captured results
src/Arius.Benchmarks/*
Adds allocation benchmarks, a micro command, benchmark notes, and captured archive benchmark reports.
TAR buffer sizing
src/Arius.Core/Features/ArchiveCommand/TarBuilder.cs, src/Arius.Core.Tests/Features/ArchiveCommand/TarBuilderTests.cs
Estimates TAR buffer capacity while adding entries, reduces excess capacity when sealing, and tests capacity for small and partial bundles.
Archive progress tracking and deduplication
src/Arius.Core/Features/ArchiveCommand/{Events.cs,ArchiveCommandHandler.cs}, src/Arius.Cli/Commands/Archive/ArchiveProgressHandlers.cs, src/Arius.Cli/ProgressState.cs, archive event tests and fixtures
Adds the deduplicated file path to FileDedupedEvent. Progress handlers remove deduplicated or completed file rows and track the active TAR directly.
Chunk-index batched lookups and digest reuse
src/Arius.Core/Shared/ChunkIndex/*, src/Arius.Core.Tests/Shared/ChunkIndex/*
Adds paged local-store lookups, reuses digest buffers for database operations, and batches local lookups in ChunkIndexService. Tests cover batches larger than 256 entries and SQLite’s variable limit.
Throttled progress reporting
src/Arius.Core/Shared/Streaming/ProgressStream.cs, src/Arius.Core.Tests/Shared/Streaming/*, src/Arius.Core.Tests/Shared/ChunkStorage/ChunkStorageServiceUploadTests.cs, docs/design/core/shared/streaming.md
Throttles reports to one per 500 ms, reports the first positive read, and flushes withheld totals at EOF or disposal. Tests and documentation cover this behavior.
Shared buffering and allocation changes
src/Arius.Core/Shared/{Compression,Encryption,FileSystem,FileTree,HashCache,Hashes,Storage,ChunkStorage}/*, src/Arius.Core.Tests/Shared/{HashCache,FileSystem}/*, docs/design/cross-cutting/memory-boundedness.md
Adds pooled sparse-fingerprint buffers, span-based APIs and constants, direct memory writes, and allocation-reducing hash and path operations. ChunkDownloadStream forwards read and copy calls to its inner stream.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b85a3

This change reduces allocations. However, archives containing many tiny files can request a buffer of about 1 GiB. Deduplicating many files that share content can cause quadratic allocation. A failing progress callback can also leave the source stream open. Address these issues before merging, or explicitly accept them.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to b85a3

The traced archive paths remain validated, and the new event path is used for progress tracking rather than being sent to storage or API consumers. No new material security exposure was established, but the changed execution paths were not exhaustively verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — For the traced event consumers, a file-derived path reaches CLI in-memory progress state but not the API job aggregate or a filesystem sink. This bounds the observed effect of the added event field; it does not establish complete coverage of all consumers.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The examined path boundary uses validated RelativePath values, and the newly constructed batched SQL binds hash digests as parameters rather than interpolating their values into the query.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider clearing reverse hash ownership when a tracked file reaches a terminal skipped state, and checking the expected hash before path-keyed removal if a path can be registered again during one run. Neither condition is established as a new security finding in this PR.

- Line 117: Update the LocalFileEnumerator, ArchiveCommandHandler, and
TarBuilder flow to derive ContentHash, FileSize, ShardEntry.OriginalSize,

150-151: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Dispose the inner stream when final progress reporting fails.

ReportFinal() calls _progress.Report(...), and a progress callback can throw. Because _inner.Dispose() runs afterward, the wrapped stream can remain undisposed. Put _inner.Dispose() in a finally block around ReportFinal().

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Cache the large-file region list before the benchmark runs.

SparseFingerprint.Regions(LargeFileSize) creates a new tuple array on every benchmark invocation. This adds fixture allocation to the measured SparseFingerprint.Sampler result. Compute the regions in Setup and iterate the cached list by index.

Proposed fix
+    private IReadOnlyList<(long Offset, int Length)> _largeFileRegions = null!;
+
     public byte[] SparseFingerprint_Sampler_LargeFile()
     {
         using var sampler = new SparseFingerprint.Sampler(LargeFileSize);

-        foreach (var (offset, length) in SparseFingerprint.Regions(LargeFileSize))
+        for (var i = 0; i < _largeFileRegions.Count; i++)
+        {
+            var (offset, length) = _largeFileRegions[i];
             sampler.Capture(offset, _readBuffer.AsSpan(0, length));
+        }

         return sampler.Finish();
     }

… fails

Each stripe holds one open append handle. Retargeting it to a different node
disposed the old handle and then opened the new one — but on failure
(disk full, permission denied, too many open handles) the stripe was left with
`Handle` pointing at the just-disposed stream and `OpenPath` still naming the
old node. The next append to that old node then took the reuse branch and threw
ObjectDisposedException instead of surfacing the real I/O error.

That matters because the failure is expected to be survivable. Stage 5b has no
per-file catch and Parallel.ForEachAsync keeps already-started iterations
running after one faults, so sibling workers do reach the poisoned stripe. And
AppendDirectoryEntriesAsync deliberately releases its directory-edge claim on
failure so a later writer can re-emit the edge — which a disposed handle makes
impossible.

Clear the stripe before opening, so a failed open leaves it empty and the next
append simply opens afresh.

Regression test drives the real path: it establishes a stripe on one node, makes
the second node unopenable by occupying its path with a directory, asserts the
retarget throws, then asserts an append to the original node still lands. The
colliding directory pair is found at runtime because string hashing is
randomized per process.

Sampler.Dispose returns the capture buffer to ArrayPool<byte>.Shared. Capture
and Finish had no guard, so using a disposed sampler would read or write an
array another consumer now owns: Capture corrupts that consumer's data, Finish
fingerprints it. Both are silent, and the damage surfaces far from here.

No caller does this today — SparseSamplingStream owns the sampler and calls
Fingerprint() before the stream leaves scope — but pooled buffers are exactly
where "trust internal code" fails destructively rather than obviously, so the
two public entry points now throw ObjectDisposedException.

Introduced in 52fcbb7, which moved the sampler from one byte[] per region to a
single pooled buffer.

a9bdefa gave each lock stripe a persistent append handle to avoid the
per-line open/close. That breaks every archive run on Windows.

FileTreeBuilder.SynchronizeAsync reads the staged node files (stage 6c, while
`stagingWriter` is still in scope at ArchiveCommandHandler.cs:272) via
File.ReadLinesAsync, which opens with access=Read, share=Read. Windows requires
compatibility in both directions: the reader's share mode must also permit the
*existing* handle's access. The open handle holds access=Write, which
FileShare.Read does not admit, so the read fails with a sharing violation. No
share mode on the writer can fix it — the reader's share mode is the half that
excludes Write. Unix does not enforce share modes, which is why the suite passed
locally.

The premise was wrong too. I argued the archive walk is depth-first so
consecutive files hit the same node and the handle stays put. But
fileTreeEntryChannel is fed by the upload stages, so entries arrive in
upload-completion order, not directory order. Past ~256 directories most appends
retarget their stripe — a Dispose plus an open per line, strictly more work than
the open/append/close it replaced.

Two further defects go away with it: 256 × 64 KiB FileStream buffers (16 MiB)
retained for the whole run while still flushing every line, and the switch from
File.AppendAllTextAsync's strict UTF-8 (throwOnInvalidBytes) to Encoding.UTF8's
replacement fallback, which would have silently mangled a name containing an
unpaired surrogate into U+FFFD and archived it under the wrong name.

The measured value never justified this: the win is ~2 avoided opens per file —
tens of milliseconds on a 2000-file run — and it was never isolated in a
benchmark. Correctness on a primary platform is not a trade worth making for it.

Kept from a9bdefa: the stripe-hash boxing fix (StringComparer.Ordinal.GetHashCode
on a RelativePath struct bound to the object overload, boxing per append and
doing nothing). Reverted with it: c8c7989, which fixed retarget recovery in the
code this removes, and RelativeFileSystem.OpenAppend, which this was its only
caller.

eef3d24 pre-sized every bundle's buffer to 1.25 × TarTargetSize — 80 MiB at the
default — to avoid MemoryStream doubling from zero to 64 MB. That helped the full
bundle it was measured on and quietly hurt everything else: a repository of a few
small files, and every run's partial tail bundle, reserved 80 MiB on the LOH for a
few KB of payload. SealedTar.Content then retained the whole array through the
bounded sealedTarChannel and the upload. A net peak-memory regression, on a branch
whose point is to reduce memory.

Grow in one step instead, and only once the bundle is actually heading for the
target: below 1 MiB accumulated, keep MemoryStream's own doubling (bounded by ~2 MiB
of churn); at the threshold, jump straight to full capacity so the 64 MB path still
makes a single large allocation rather than a doubling ladder.

AllocationBenchmarks:

  seal one 64 MB bundle          85,592 KB -> 85,621 KB   28.46 -> 28.30 ms
  seal one small bundle (5x1KB)  ~80 MiB   ->     40.8 KB

The full-bundle win is intact (the 276 MB baseline is unchanged) and the small-bundle
case is three orders of magnitude better. Adds the small-bundle benchmark, without
which this regression stayed invisible.

8fc47fe replaced Convert.FromHexString(string) — which throws FormatException —
with the span overload, which reports failure through an OperationStatus return
value that was discarded.

That combination is worse than it looks. The same commit made the digest buffers
reusable across a batch, so a non-Done conversion does not produce a zeroed or
partial digest: it leaves the *previous* row's bytes in the buffer. UpsertRemoteBacked
would then write a chunk-index row mapping the wrong content hash to a chunk —
silent, durable, and a deduplication-correctness failure rather than a crash. For a
backup tool that is the wrong direction to fail in.

The hash value objects do guarantee 64 canonical hex characters, so this is
unreachable today; the point is that the guarantee is now the only thing standing
between a conversion slip and a corrupt index, and it costs three lines to check.

10947e7 added the missing FileDedupedEvent handler and removed every tracked
path sharing the deduplicated content hash. That is the wrong key. A content hash
maps to several paths within one run — that is what deduplication means — and the
*first* copy is the one being uploaded.

So archiving two identical files removed both rows: the duplicate's, correctly,
and the original's while its upload was still in flight. Its progress row vanished
mid-upload, and the subsequent ChunkUploadingEvent then found no TrackedFile in
state Hashed, so SetFileUploading returned false, IncrementFilesUnique was skipped
(FilesUnique undercounts) and the handler fell through to the TAR branch.

FileDedupedEvent carried no path, which is why I keyed on the hash. Give it one:
every sibling file event already carries the path, the publish sites both have it
to hand, and per-file consumers cannot do anything correct without it. The handler
then removes exactly the file that deduplicated and no longer needs the
ContentHashToPath reverse lookup at all.

Api's FileDedupedForwarder is unaffected (it aggregates OriginalSize only); the
three test and fake construction sites are updated.

…eport throws

8f367c6 added a flush-on-dispose so a throttled stream still reports its true
total, but put ReportFinal() before _inner.Dispose() with nothing between them.
The progress callback is caller-supplied — a CLI or Api sink — so it can throw
during teardown, for instance reporting into a progress task a cancellation has
already completed. When it does, Dispose abandons the inner SparseSamplingStream
and the FileStream handle underneath it, and the callback's exception replaces
whatever was unwinding the using block.

Wrap the report in try/finally so disposal is unconditional.

The regression test has to let the first report succeed — the first read always
reports by design — then read again inside the throttle window so the total is
left unreported, and only then fail the flush on dispose.

…t padding

Two problems with the IN (...) lookup a3e957a introduced.

The parameter padding was justified by a claim that is simply false. I wrote that
rounding the count to 1/4/16/64/256 makes "the generated SQL — and its prepared
statement — repeat", but FindEntriesCore builds a new SqliteCommand and new
command text on every call, and Microsoft.Data.Sqlite does not cache prepared
statements across command objects. Nothing was ever reused, so the buckets only
padded every lookup with redundant parameters, digest buffers and binds — a
3-hash lookup bound 16. Removed; the query now uses exactly the hashes it has.

The bucket fallback also left the store unbounded (`_ => count`). 89f01ef fixed
the real call paths by chunking in ChunkIndexService, but FindEntries and
FindPendingFlushEntries are public on the store, so the invariant lived only in
the caller and the next one to skip it gets SQLite's "too many SQL variables" —
which CreateLocalStoreException reports as a corrupt cache the operator should
delete, an actively misleading diagnosis. Page inside the store instead, so the
bound holds wherever it is called from. The service-level chunking stays; it is
now belt and braces rather than the only guard.

Regression test looks up 40,001 hashes directly against the store and asserts the
one seeded entry comes back.

AllocationBenchmarks (one 256-hash dedup batch) is unchanged by the paging:
FindEntries 205.48 KB / 380.9 us against FindEntry x256 at 610 KB / 1017.7 us.

…ndles

The presize from b46fd6e jumped to a fixed 1.25 × TarTargetSize once a bundle
passed 1 MB. Two problems with that:

- Tar framing is ~1.5 KB per entry, so a full bundle of small files outgrows a
  25% headroom (4 KB files: ~37%, 1 KB files: ~150%). MemoryStream then doubled
  past it and retained more than master did: 160 MB vs 128 MB for 4 KB files,
  320 MB vs 256 MB for 1 KB files.
- A tail bundle that passed 1 MB (e.g. a 3 MB incremental) reserved the full
  80 MB and held it through the upload, where master held ~4 MB.

Grow once to the projected full size instead — tar bytes per file byte observed
at the threshold, applied to the target plus 1/8 headroom — and when a bundle
seals at less than half its buffer, trim it to its length so the tail does not
retain the presized array. The transient allocation for a >1 MB tail remains.

AllocationBenchmarks (64 KB entries):
  seal one 64 MB bundle          85,621 KB -> 79,157 KB
  seal one small bundle (5x1KB)      40.8 KB -> 40.8 KB

…pose

Reverts d0f6e3e. The try/finally did not do what its comment claimed: a
throwing ReportFinal still escaped Dispose and replaced the exception that was
unwinding the using block. It also guarded a path production never takes: every
sink handed to ProgressStream is Progress<long>, whose Report posts the callback
and never throws synchronously, and the upload path's CallbackProgress stream is
never disposed.

The regression test goes with it; it relied on two reads landing inside the real
500 ms throttle window, so it was timing-dependent on a loaded runner.

1477b3f changed FileDedupedHandler to drop only the deduplicated path's row,
without a test. Removing rows by content hash instead drops the original's row
mid-upload, so the following ChunkUploadingEvent finds nothing and FilesUnique
undercounts. The new test fails against that behaviour and passes now.

10947e7 stopped TrackedFiles growing, but ContentHashToPath still gained an
entry (with a ConcurrentBag) for every hashed file and never lost one — held for
the whole run, so a 1M-file archive kept 1M of them.

Remove a content hash's entry when its rows are done: when its chunk is uploaded
or it is added to a tar bundle (both already removed every row for the hash),
and when a deduplicated copy was the last tracked path for it. A copy
deduplicated while the original is uploading leaves the entry in place, since
the upload's events still need it. Files skipped after hashing still leave an
entry behind; they are rare and bounded by the failure count.

two optimizations the branch later reverted (0ae0798, a9bdefa) and predates
the later tar-buffer, lookup and progress-state fixes, so it did not describe

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Avoid copying the path bag for every deduplicated file.

When many paths share a content hash, each deduplication calls paths.Any(...). The net10.0 ConcurrentBag enumerator first copies the entire bag, including paths whose rows were already removed. Repeated deduplication therefore creates quadratic copying and allocation, even if Any finds a tracked path immediately. Track remaining paths in a removable per-hash collection or maintain a per-hash count instead. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @src/Arius.Cli/ProgressState.cs around lines 326 - 327:
Replace the `paths.Any(TrackedFiles.ContainsKey)` check in the content-hash
cleanup flow with a per-hash collection or count that can be updated as paths
are removed, avoiding full `ConcurrentBag` enumeration for every deduplicated
file. Preserve removal of a content hash once no tracked paths remain.

Bound the projected TAR capacity for tiny files.

When roughly 1,000 distinct 2-byte files push TAR framing past 1 MiB, _currentSize is only about 2 KiB. With a 64 MiB target, this projection exceeds the cap and requests an approximately 1 GiB buffer for a roughly 1 MiB archive. The allocation can exhaust memory before SealAsync has a chance to shrink it. Limit presizing by a practical capacity bound, or delay the projection until accumulated file bytes provide a representative estimate.

lines 99 - 101:
Bound the projected capacity calculation in the TAR sizing logic using
`_tarStream`, `_currentSize`, and `ProjectionHeadroomDivisor` so tiny
accumulated file sizes cannot trigger a roughly 1 GiB allocation; alternatively,
defer projection until accumulated file bytes provide a representative estimate.
