Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
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.
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.

| 2e890f6 | This commit **deprecates** the `IIdCompressorCore` interface within the **`id-compressor` package**, preparing for its internalization in a future release. This **API evolution** addresses its unintended exposure by introducing new public utility functions, `serializeIdCompressor` and `toIdCompressorWithCore`, to replace its functionality. The change includes adding detailed deprecation warnings and migration guidance in documentation and API reports, while suppressing warnings in internal usage across `container-runtime` and test utilities. This **refactoring** ensures a cleaner public API surface and provides a clear migration path for consumers ahead of a breaking change in version 2.100. | Mar 30 | 10 | grow |
| b00591c | This commit introduces a new **`resetUnfinalizedCreationRange` API** within the **`id-compressor`** module, representing an **improvement** for robust ID management. This method allows the `IdCompressor` to effectively discard ID ranges that were allocated but not finalized due to a dropped connection, by resetting its internal state. The **`container-runtime`** now integrates this API into its `replayPendingStates` mechanism, ensuring that previously unfinalized IDs are properly re-processed and finalized upon reconnection. This change significantly enhances the **consistency and reliability of ID allocation** across network disconnects, streamlining the state replay process by eliminating the need for an extra op. | Mar 25 | 9 | grow |
| f7bde54 | This commit **refactors telemetry logging** within the **`container-runtime`** module to **reduce logging overhead and noise** by consolidating boot-time Garbage Collection (GC) related events. It **removes the `GCFeatureMatrix` and `GarbageCollectorLoaded` telemetry events**, which previously fired on boot. Instead, relevant GC configuration details are now integrated into the existing `ContainerLoadStats` event, leveraging a new `serializedConfigs` getter on the `GarbageCollector` class and updating the `IGarbageCollector` interface. This **telemetry optimization** centralizes critical boot-time GC data, making event consumption more efficient and streamlined. | Mar 17 | 3 | maint |
| ca96c08 | This commit **corrects an inaccurate comment** within the **`container-runtime` package**, specifically in `containerRuntime.ts`. It updates the documentation for the `computeCurrentDirtyState` function to accurately reflect its logic, which was previously described in an inverted manner regarding the container's dirty state. This **documentation fix** improves code clarity and ensures developers correctly understand how the function determines if a container is dirty, preventing potential misinterpretations of the runtime's state management. | Mar 12 | 1 | maint |
| 34e51b3 | This commit **improves test stability** by **skipping** the `opCriticalPath` **benchmark test** within the **end-to-end test suite** when run against the **Routerlicious (R11s) driver**. A `beforeEach` hook in `packages/test/test-end-to-end-tests/src/test/benchmark/opCriticalPath.time.spec.ts` now conditionally disables this test for `'r11s'` or `'routerlicious'` configurations. This **maintenance change** addresses observed **flakiness** specific to these environments, ensuring more reliable CI/CD pipeline results without impacting the test's intended client-side performance measurement. | Jan 26 | 1 | maint |

| 6495c32 | This commit introduces a **fix** to the **container-runtime**'s error handling, specifically within the `ChannelCollection`'s `processMessages` method. It now **distinguishes between different causes of "Duplicate DataStore Id" errors**, classifying them as `DataProcessingError` when the duplicate ID refers to an unbound local DataStore, versus `DataCorruptionError` for already processed DataStores. This **prevents transient, single-client failures from being incorrectly reported as permanent data corruption**, improving the accuracy of telemetry and avoiding unnecessary container invalidation. The change includes new test cases in `channelCollection.spec.ts` to verify the correct error types and a refactor to `DataProcessingError.create` in `telemetry-utils` for more flexible error creation. This ensures that only truly unrecoverable issues are flagged as permanent corruption, providing a more accurate representation of container health. | Dec 13 | 4 | maint |
| bf869f5 | This commit delivers a crucial **bug fix** to address intermittent benchmark failures where the "benchmark end" event was not emitted if an error occurred during test execution. It introduces new utility functions, `emitResultsMocha` and `captureResults`, to robustly handle function execution, measure time, and capture results or exceptions within the **benchmark runner** framework. The **`mocha/customOutputRunner`** and **`mocha/runner`** modules are refactored to leverage `emitResultsMocha`, ensuring that the critical 'benchmark end' event is consistently emitted and errors are properly captured. This significantly improves the reliability and reporting accuracy of **benchmark tests** by preventing silent failures. | Dec 12 | 4 | waste |
| fb56480 | This commit performs a **revert** of PR #25915, specifically targeting changes within the **test versioning utilities** (`packages/test/test-version-utils`). The **maintenance revert** removes the previously introduced `SharedTree DDS` compatibility logic, related package loading simplifications, and adjustments to DDS factory handling in `compatUtils.ts` and `testApi.ts`. This action is taken to **address "Full Compat" failures in the test pipeline**, effectively **unblocking internal test pipelines** by restoring the prior stable state of the test infrastructure. | Dec 3 | 10 | waste |
| ba8d782 | This commit **fixes an incorrect assertion** `0xb7b` that would prematurely trigger within the **`container-runtime`'s `outbox` module**. Previously, the `flush` method could be called reentrantly during incoming op processing, such as during connection state transitions, leading to the assertion firing even when there were no actual operations to flush. The **bug fix** introduces a check in `packages/runtime/container-runtime/src/opLifecycle/outbox.ts` to ensure the assertion only fires if there are pending operations, preventing unnecessary runtime errors. This improves the **robustness of the runtime's operation processing** by correctly handling reentrant `flush` calls. New test cases have been added to verify the `flush` method's behavior under these reentrant conditions. | Oct 23 | 2 | waste |
| f3dcdd9 | This commit **enhances test coverage** for the **`dataStoreRuntime`** module by adding a new test case to `packages/runtime/datastore/src/test/dataStoreRuntime.spec.ts`. The test specifically asserts the content of the error message thrown when `FluidDataStoreRuntime.getChannel` cannot find a requested channel. This is a **temporary stop-gap** to ensure the stability of this specific error string, as external partners currently rely on inspecting this message to detect "channel not found" scenarios. This is particularly crucial for handling **`MultiFormatDataObject`** probing, where distinguishing this error from others is essential for proper functionality. | Oct 17 | 1 | maint |
| 38eb2e8 | This commit **fixes a bug** in the **`id-compressor` runtime package** where `logger` and `sessionId` parameters were incorrectly dropped in overloaded `deserialize` methods and the `IdCompressor` constructor. This issue led to the `logger` being `undefined` for components like the `Summarizer`. The fix ensures proper parameter passing and initialization, improving the reliability of logging and session management within the `id-compressor` subsystem. New test cases were added to `idCompressor.spec.ts` to verify the correct wiring of the `logger` and parameter handling, alongside updates to existing performance and utility tests. | Aug 19 | 4 | waste |
| c33dbd3 | This commit introduces a **fix** to the **test logging mechanism** within the **Mocha test setup**, specifically addressing an issue in `packages/test/mocha-test-setup/src/mochaHooks.ts`. Previously, environment-specific properties like `displayName` were incorrectly overwriting the `details` field in test logs, obscuring actual code-generated details. The change renames the logging property dictionary and moves the serialization of these environment properties to a new, dedicated `testEnvProps` field. This ensures the `details` property is no longer squashed, significantly improving the **accuracy and clarity of test log analysis** by correctly separating environment context from test-specific details. | Aug 12 | 1 | waste |
| 7cdef85 | This commit performs a **cleanup and refactoring** by **removing the deprecated `bind` method** from the `IFluidHandleInternal` interface and its concrete implementation, `RemoteFluidObjectHandle`. This change primarily affects the **Fluid runtime utilities** and associated handle management, enforcing the deprecation introduced in version 2.40. To accommodate this removal, test infrastructure in `packages/dds/tree` and `packages/test/test-end-to-end-tests` was updated, adjusting mock and test handle classes like `MockSharedObjectHandle` and `TestFluidHandle` to no longer reference the removed method. The overall scope is to streamline the handle API and remove obsolete functionality from the codebase. | Jul 3 | 35 | maint |
| bed0be2 | This commit **refactors** the **handle binding** mechanism in preparation for the removal of `IFluidHandleInternal.bind`, a deprecated interface method. It moves the core `bind` implementation logic from `FluidObjectHandle` to `SharedObjectHandle` within `packages/dds/shared-object-base`, where it is more appropriately located. Additionally, various **test suites** in `packages/dds` and `packages/test` are updated to remove direct `bind` calls or introduce dummy `bind` functions for **serialization** scenarios. This **maintenance** work ensures continued functionality during the transition, streamlining the handle system and paving the way for a cleaner API by eliminating deprecated functionality. | Jun 30 | 5 | maint |
| f0681fc | This commit significantly **enhances test coverage** for the **Staging Mode** feature by introducing comprehensive unit tests for key components like **`ContainerRuntime`** and **`PendingStateManager`**. The new tests validate `ContainerRuntime`'s staging mode entry/exit, `commitChanges`, and `discardChanges` behaviors, alongside `PendingStateManager`'s `replayPendingStates` and `popStagedBatches` logic under various scenarios. Crucially, this work also includes a **bug fix** for an **infinite loop** in `PendingStateManager.popStagedBatches` that could occur when discarding changes with empty staged batches, improving the **stability** of the staging mechanism. Beyond testing, minor **refactoring** and **maintenance** adjustments were made to related files, collectively ensuring the **reliability and correctness** of the **Staging Mode** implementation. | Jun 20 | 12 | maint |
| 1dbfc16 | This commit introduces a **bug fix** to the **Container Runtime**'s **staging mode functionality**. It enhances the `exitStagingMode` API by adding crucial error handling, ensuring that the **container is explicitly closed** if an exception occurs during the staging mode exit process. This prevents the system from being left in an invalid or inconsistent state, significantly improving the **robustness and stability** of the runtime during staging mode transitions. | Jun 10 | 1 | waste |
| 4d43ec6 | This **bug fix** addresses an issue within the **local-server-stress-tests** package, specifically in the `maybeSaveFluidOpsTofile` function located in `localServerStressHarness.ts`. Previously, this function would throw an error if a Fluid container never attached, leading to test failures. The commit now adds checks to gracefully handle **detached containers**, ensuring that operations are either saved correctly or an empty array is written. This improves the robustness and stability of the **local-server-stress-tests** by preventing crashes when containers are not attached. | Jun 10 | 1 | waste |
