How it works

Methodology

Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.

Relationship to Growth / Maintenance / Fixes

The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

Proposed API Endpoint

Currently computed client-side from commit and bug attribution data. Ideal server-side endpoint:

dbb7c7fThis commit **refactors** the error handling for missing argument separators in the `buck2 run` command, moving the `soft_error` from the client to the daemon. Previously, the client-side `soft_error` in **`buck2_client`** was not being logged correctly due to the absence of an `EventDispatcher` and `trace_id`. To address this, a new `run_args_missing_separator` boolean field is added to the **`buck2_cli_proto`** `BuildRequest` message. The client now communicates this state to the daemon, allowing the **`buck2_server_commands`** to issue the `soft_error` with proper logging context, significantly improving **debugging** and observability for this specific error condition.Feb 184grow
a70d5eeThis commit introduces a **deprecation soft error** for the **`buck2 run` command**, warning users when arguments are passed to the target binary without the `--` separator. This **feature enhancement** aims to standardize argument passing, aligning `buck2 run` with `buck2 test`, `buck2 install`, and `buck2 bxl`. Users will now see a warning guiding them to use `buck2 run //target -- my_arg`, though the command still succeeds unless `BUCK2_HARD_ERROR` is set. The change primarily affects the `buck2_client`'s `app/buck2_client/src/commands/run.rs` module and is validated by new tests in `tests/core/run/test_run.py`.Feb 122grow
c047894This commit performs **maintenance** by **removing the deprecated command-line flag** `--exit-when-different-state` from the system. It **refactors** the **client context initialization** within `app/buck2_client_ctx` to eliminate the handling logic for this flag, which was superseded by `--exit-when=differentstate`. Correspondingly, **test cases** in `tests/core/daemon/test_concurrency.py` are updated to use the current flag, ensuring consistency. This cleanup simplifies the codebase by removing an unused and redundant option.Feb 114maint
ad8fa22This commit performs **maintenance** on the **concurrency end-to-end test suite** to resolve **test flakiness**. It specifically increases the sleep duration within the `test_exit_when_not_idle_after_command_exits` function in `tests/core/daemon/test_concurrency.py` from 0.5 to 2 seconds. This adjustment provides more time for the test's operations to complete, preventing premature timeouts that previously caused unreliable test results. The change improves the stability and reliability of the **daemon concurrency tests**, ensuring more accurate reporting of actual regressions.Sep 181maint
425d241This commit **fixes a bug** in the **Buck daemon's concurrency handling** related to the `--exit-when=notidle` flag. Previously, this flag could incorrectly prevent new commands from executing even when the daemon was idle, if the new command's state differed from a previous one. The `enter` method in `app/buck2_server_ctx/src/concurrency.rs` is updated to correctly check for active commands early, ensuring the flag only triggers when the daemon is genuinely busy. New test cases in `tests/core/daemon/test_concurrency.py` validate this corrected behavior, improving the reliability of daemon interaction by preventing false "daemon busy" errors.Sep 74maint
3c602e0This commit introduces a **new `--exit-when` flag** to Buck, significantly enhancing **concurrency management** for daemon commands. This **feature enhancement** replaces and expands upon the deprecated `--exit-when-different-state` flag, allowing users to specify granular conditions for a command to fail if another is already active. The flag offers options like `=differentstate` to fail if another command with a different state is running, and `=notidle` to fail if the daemon is not idle, which is crucial for background processes to defer to user-initiated commands. This change impacts the **Buck client and server contexts**, the **daemon's concurrency logic** (`buck2_server_ctx/src/concurrency.rs`), and improves the overall **user experience** by preventing resource contention.Aug 2548maint
bc92d86This commit **fixes** a **bug** in Buck2's `representative_config_flags` logic, which was incorrectly including arguments intended for underlying binaries (passed after `--`) as Buck2 configuration modifiers for commands like `run` and `test`. The **argument parsing** within the **Buck2 client context** (`app/buck2_client_ctx/src/common.rs`) is now updated to **disregard anything after a bare `--`** when identifying these flags. This ensures that only actual Buck2 configuration modifiers are considered, significantly **improving the accuracy of build analysis** and configuration tracking. The fix is validated by **updated and new tests** in `tests/core/log/test_representative_config_flags.py`, preventing misinterpretation of user input and making post-hoc build comparisons more reliable.Aug 133waste
7259ec3This commit **disables default logging** of information from the **FBCC C++ compilation component** to Scuba. It modifies the `prelude/cxx/dist_lto/tools/dist_lto_opt_gnu.py` tool to **explicitly remove the `--log-fbcc` flag** during argument parsing, preventing unnecessary data collection by default. This **maintenance change** reduces logging overhead for Buck `build`, `run`, and `test` commands. Users can still opt-in to FBCC logging by setting the `-c cxx.log_fbcc=True` configuration flag, providing control over telemetry while improving default efficiency.Jun 131maint
873187aThis commit **expands parser support for `genrule()`**, allowing it to be used as a `default_global` rule in addition to its existing native rule support. This **new capability** broadens the applicability of `genrule()` within the build system. Additionally, it includes a **maintenance refactoring** in the `prelude/toolchains/android/tools/build_rules/utils.bzl` file. Specifically, the `is_oss_build` function is updated to call `read_config` directly instead of `native.read_config`, which was causing errors in the `autodeps` system. This resolves a blocking issue for `autodeps` users and improves the robustness of build rule utilities.Apr 81maint
f7bd454This commit **refactors** the `prelude/rules_impl.bzl` file by converting all **relative `load` paths to absolute paths**. This **maintenance** change primarily affects the **build rules implementation**, standardizing how other `.bzl` files are imported. The change improves **build system consistency** and addresses compatibility issues with certain tooling that struggles with relative imports, ensuring more robust and predictable behavior.Jan 21maint
