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.

This **feature improvement** ensures that temporary files are more readily available and consistently located across both local and remote build environments. The change primarily impacts the **Rust build process**, improving its compatibility and reliability by standardizing temporary file locations. | Sep 17 | 1 | grow |
| 05850486 | This commit provides a **bug fix** to the **C++ symbol extraction process**, specifically within the `prelude` module's `symbols.bzl` configuration. It prevents the stripping of the weak symbol `_ZTHN3c104impl26raw_local_dispatch_key_setE`, which previously caused it to be incorrectly promoted to an undefined symbol. By adding a new `sed` command, this **maintenance** change resolves **linker errors** that would otherwise occur during compilation, ensuring the symbol retains its weak status. This improves the robustness of the build system by correctly handling specific weak symbol definitions. | Aug 28 | 1 | waste |
| 46e6dcf1 | This commit introduces **CUDA library support** to the **Antlir distribution platform**, making these libraries available as build-time dependencies for CUDA-dependent binaries. It specifically configures support for CUDA versions 12.4 and 12.8, utilizing `select` logic to manage version and architecture placeholders. As a **new capability**, this change ensures hermeticity by bundling CUDA libraries directly into packaged artifacts, which will **increase binary size and startup time** but facilitates testing in environments without GPU passthrough. Additionally, the `_is_select` function is now exposed in `prelude/utils/selects.bzl` to support this integration. | Jul 9 | 1 | grow |
| 8c6dc04e | This commit **fixes a build-time linking issue** by adding `MallocExtension_Internal_GetNumericProperty` to the **C++ symbol filter list** defined in `prelude/cxx/symbols.bzl`. This specific symbol, which is a weak symbol, was causing **missing symbol errors** when incorrectly promoted during **omnibus linking** by **Antlir's upstream linker**. The change ensures that the symbol is properly filtered out during symbol extraction, preventing build failures for projects that rely on Antlir's linking process. This is a **maintenance update** to the build system's symbol handling to improve linking robustness. | Jun 26 | 1 | waste |
| a4e7df4f | This commit performs **toolchain maintenance** by **upgrading the GCC toolchain** to `gcc-toolset-14` for `platform010`, resolving `libstdc++` symbol mismatches that caused linker errors. It also includes a **refactoring** of the **linking process** within `prelude/linking/link_info.bzl`, specifically in `append_linkable_args`. This **fixes a build issue** by ensuring that the entire `.so` extension is correctly stripped from library names when sonames are not extracted, preventing incorrect linker flags like `-lgcc_s.so`. This change enables successful compilation and linking with newer GCC versions, particularly for the `platform010` environment. | Jun 24 | 1 | maint |
| bee93166 | This commit **fixes a build issue** affecting **TEE builds** by preventing specific linker errors. It **excludes** the `_ITM_deregisterTMCloneTable`, `_ITM_registerTMCloneTable`, and `__gmon_start__` symbols from the undefined symbols listing within `prelude/cxx/symbols.bzl`. This change addresses a problem where the CentOS linker incorrectly promoted these weak symbols to strong weak, leading to build failures. By updating the **linker configuration**, this ensures these symbols are properly handled, allowing **TEE builds** to complete successfully. | Jun 24 | 1 | waste |
| 90f34402 | This commit introduces a **new capability** for the `buck2 debug chrome-trace` command, allowing users to specify a `--trace-id` directly. This enhancement to the **Buck2 client's debugging tools** enables the command to download and process chrome traces from a given ID, eliminating the need to first materialize the trace file locally. The `ChromeTraceCommand` in `app/buck2_client/src/commands/debug/chrome_trace.rs` was refactored to leverage `EventLogOptions` for this improved log retrieval, streamlining the analysis of remote or non-locally generated traces. This significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of debugging builds by simplifying trace acquisition. | May 28 | 2 | grow |
| 23e2acbc | This commit implements a **bug fix** for the **Buck2 remote execution (RE) subsystem**, addressing an issue where the `remote_execution_dynamic_image` attribute was not being correctly applied. Previously, an incorrect conditional check in `prelude/tests/re_utils.bzl` prevented this crucial configuration from being set on `CommandExecutorConfig` instances. The change removes this faulty conditional logic within the `get_re_executors_from_props` function, ensuring that the specified dynamic image is always properly configured. This guarantees that custom remote execution environments are now correctly utilized when expected, resolving an unexpected behavior for users relying on specific RE images. | Mar 12 | 1 | waste |
| a3a2b680 | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **ROCm build system** by adding a `hip_toolchain_override` mechanism. This allows C/C++ source files, even those not ending in `.hip`, to be compiled using the ROCm toolchain by explicitly configuring `hip_compiler_info` instead of `cxx_compiler_info`. The change primarily affects the **toolchain override logic** and includes modifications to `prelude/cxx/archive.bzl` to support the `amdclang` archiver type in archive functions. This enhancement provides greater flexibility for building ROCm-related projects and aims to streamline future linking processes by potentially replacing `hip_link` actions with standard `cxx_library` rules. | Feb 20 | 1 | grow |
| 3d4660eb | This commit implements a **compatibility fix** within the **remote execution utilities** (`prelude/tests/re_utils.bzl`) by conditionally setting the `remote_execution_dynamic_image` attribute.
