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.

| 13c5fca | This commit introduces a **new capability** for **build performance observability** by adding a dedicated Azure DevOps pipeline and associated tooling within the `build-cli` package. This **feature addition** collects build metrics from ADO, processes them, and generates an interactive HTML dashboard, providing summary statistics, trend charts, and detailed stage/task duration breakdowns. The new pipeline, defined in `build-performance-observability.yml`, runs daily to monitor both PR and internal builds, publishing the dashboard as an artifact. This significantly enhances **developer tooling** by offering critical insights into build times, enabling proactive identification of regressions and optimization of the overall CI/CD process. | Mar 27 | 19 | grow |
| 8018a91 | This commit **fixes** an issue within the **test-service-load** package by ensuring that the `disableSchemaUpgrade` option is consistently set to `false` for all **stress tests**. Specifically, it modifies the `optionsMatrix.ts` file to enforce this configuration, which is crucial for scenarios where all connected clients are expected to share the same schema upgrade behavior. This adjustment improves the reliability and consistency of **stress test execution**, preventing potential misconfigurations that could affect test outcomes. The change ensures that the testing environment accurately reflects intended multi-client scenarios. | Mar 20 | 1 | maint |
| d8ec0f8 | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **`ContainerRuntime`** by adding a `disableSchemaUpgrade` option to `ContainerRuntimeOptions`. When enabled, this option prevents the runtime from sending `DocumentSchemaChange` operations and throws an error on incoming ones, effectively **disabling document schema upgrades**. This **maintenance** feature is primarily implemented within the **`DocumentsSchemaController`** to control schema message processing. It is particularly useful for applications that do not require schema evolution, ensuring greater stability by eliminating potential mid-session errors related to schema changes. | Mar 19 | 10 | grow |
| fc8bc3f | This commit **introduces a new Azure DevOps pipeline configuration** for **build performance observability**, adding the `tools/pipelines/build-performance-observability.yml` file. This is a **new feature** that serves as a **placeholder pipeline**, establishing the foundational infrastructure within the **CI/CD pipelines** subsystem. While not yet fully functional, this initial setup is critical for enabling future iteration and development on a dedicated test branch, laying the groundwork for comprehensive build performance monitoring. | Jan 27 | 1 | grow |
