Performance
Key patterns and highlights from this developer's activity.
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.

| e45c882 | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Apple code signing tools**, enabling the `--profiles-dir` CLI argument to accept multiple directory paths. The argument parsing in `prelude/apple/tools/bundling/signing_context.py` and `prelude/apple/tools/code_signing/main.py` has been updated to support this multi-value input. For **backward compatibility**, the system currently only utilizes the first directory provided, ensuring no immediate change in behavior for existing workflows. This **feature enhancement** lays the groundwork for future improvements in profile selection logic, allowing for more flexible and robust fallback mechanisms. | Mar 26 | 2 | grow |
| 0d2c864 | This commit introduces a **new feature** to the **Apple bundling and codesigning process**, enabling the consumption of multiple provisioning profile sources. The `assemble_bundle` function within `prelude/apple/apple_bundle_part.bzl` is updated to utilize `AppleProvisioningProfileSourcesInfo` when `apple.provisioning_profile_sources_enabled` is true. This allows passing each profile source as a distinct `--profiles-dir` argument to the `codesign` tool, preserving priority ordering. This enhancement provides more flexible and granular control over provisioning profile management, with full multi-directory support in the Python `codesign` tool expected in a follow-up. | Mar 26 | 1 | grow |
| 8a244f0 | This commit **enhances the Apple build system** by wiring up new attributes for **provisioning profile management** within `apple_bundle` and `apple_test` rules. It introduces `_provisioning_profile_sources` to point to a new `apple_provisioning_profile_sources` target and `_provisioning_profile_sources_enabled` as a buckconfig-controlled flag to switch between old and new profile selection flows. Concurrently, this change performs **maintenance** by removing deprecated attributes such as `_system_provisioning_profiles` from `_apple_bundle_like_common_attrs` in `prelude/apple/apple_rules_impl_utility.bzl`. This work lays the foundation for a more flexible provisioning profile selection, which is currently gated and will be enabled in a future update. | Mar 20 | 1 | maint |
| a311688 | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Bazel prelude for Apple builds** by defining the `apple_provisioning_profile_sources` rule. This rule provides a structured way to manage and wrap **Apple provisioning profiles**, which are essential for signing and deploying Apple applications. The change involves adding the rule's implementation in `prelude/apple/apple_provisioning_profile_sources.bzl` and declaring it in `prelude/apple/apple_rules_decls.bzl`.

| b5f4841 | This commit **fixes entitlement verification** for **macOS applications** by **ignoring `com.apple.security.*` entitlements** during the code signing process. Previously, these entitlements, which are not present in provisioning profiles for native macOS apps, caused false-positive mismatches and build failures. The `_verify_entitlements` function in `codesign_bundle.py` is updated to accept an `ApplePlatform` parameter, enabling platform-specific verification that now correctly bypasses these problematic keys for macOS. This **bug fix** prevents incorrect build failures and improves the reliability of the **code signing process** for macOS targets. | Mar 5 | 2 | waste |
| b3467bc | This commit introduces a **new capability** within the **Swift toolchain** to enforce deduplication eligibility for build actions. It adds an `enforce_dedupe_eligibility` boolean attribute to the `swift_toolchain` rule definition in `prelude/apple/apple_rules_decls.bzl`, which is then passed to and stored within the `SwiftToolchainInfo` provider. When this attribute is enabled, it will ensure that all Swift build actions are explicitly marked as eligible for deduplication, preventing regressions and improving build efficiency. This mechanism supports a **gradual rollout** of stricter deduplication policies for Swift targets. | Mar 5 | 3 | grow |
| 83d5c15 | This commit **enhances the Mockingbird build system** by enabling content-based pathing for additional outputs.

| 996f6b2 | This commit introduces a **configuration change** to explicitly manage content-based path hashing for `wa_apple_library` targets. It **refactors** the `apple_library` rule in `prelude/apple/apple_rules_decls.bzl` by replacing `uses_experimental_content_based_path_hashing` with a new `has_content_based_path` attribute. The `get_uses_content_based_paths` function in `prelude/apple/swift/swift_incremental_support.bzl` is updated to prioritize this new attribute, ensuring that `wa_apple_library` targets can reliably **disable content-based paths**. This **maintenance** update provides a more robust and explicit mechanism to control path generation, preventing potential build inconsistencies for these specific library types. | Feb 10 | 2 | grow |
| e7837b0 | This commit introduces a **pre-emptive validation check** within the **Swift compilation process** to address an incompatible build configuration. It modifies the `compile_swift` function in `prelude/apple/swift/swift_compilation.bzl` to **automatically fail the build** if both content-based path hashing and Swift incremental compilation are simultaneously enabled. This **improves developer experience** by providing an immediate and descriptive error message, preventing a less informative failure later in the build process. The change acts as a **guardrail** for the **build system's Swift module**, ensuring clearer feedback for developers attempting to use these incompatible features together. | Feb 5 | 1 | waste |
| aed17c2 | This commit performs a **cleanup** operation by **removing unused import statements** from the `assemble_bundle` module. This **maintenance** task eliminates dead code, specifically declarations that were no longer referenced within the bundling logic. The change improves **code hygiene** and readability within the **build system**, ensuring that the `assemble_bundle` script is leaner and easier to understand without introducing any functional changes or affecting the output of the bundling process. | Jan 30 | 2 | – |
| 377c898 | This commit introduces a **new validation step** for **iOS application builds** by integrating entitlement verification into the code signing process. It modifies the `signing_context_with_profile_selection` function within the `prelude/apple/tools/code_signing/codesign_bundle.py` module to conditionally invoke a new `_verify_entitlements` function. This **enhancement** ensures that **iOS builds** are checked for correct entitlements, improving the overall integrity and reliability of the generated application bundles. The change also updates `prelude/apple/tools/bundling/signing_context.py` to pass the `should_verify_entitlements` argument and adds a build dependency in `prelude/apple/tools/code_signing/BUCK` to support this new check. | Jan 30 | 3 | grow |
| 444fbc9 | This commit introduces a **new attribute**, `entitlements_verification_check_enabled`, to the common attributes defined in `_apple_bundle_like_common_attrs` for **Apple bundle-like rules**. This **enhancement** provides granular control over whether entitlements verification checks are performed during the build process for these targets. By exposing this option, developers can now explicitly enable or disable this verification step, impacting the build configuration and potentially the validation of **Apple applications**. | Jan 23 | 1 | grow |
| 76c681d | This commit introduces a **new feature** to the **Apple bundling process** by enabling the conditional passing of a `--verify-entitlements` flag to the `assemble_bundle` tool. It modifies the `assemble_bundle` function in `prelude/apple/apple_bundle_part.bzl` to forward this argument if an attribute is present and set to true. Concurrently, `prelude/apple/tools/bundling/main.py` is updated to recognize and parse the new `--verify-entitlements` command-line argument. This change lays the essential groundwork for future **entitlement verification** during the bundling process, preparing the system for a subsequent implementation that will perform the actual checks. | Jan 23 | 2 | grow |
| abe75b0 | This commit delivers a **bug fix** to restore **deduplication eligibility** for anonymous targets generated by **Swift compilation rules**. It updates the `_swift_pcm_compilation`, `_swift_sdk_pcm_compilation`, and `_swift_interface_compilation` rules, along with their respective `get_*_anon_targets` functions, to correctly pass `has_content_based_path=True`. This change rectifies a regression where anonymous targets built for the exec platform were no longer eligible for content-based path deduplication. By re-enabling this flag, the commit ensures proper build caching and avoids redundant work for **Swift modules** and their dependencies. | Jan 6 | 3 | waste |
| a5e168d | This commit introduces a **build system improvement** to **optimize Swift builds** by making `swift_macros` eligible for deduplication. It achieves this by enabling **content-based path hashing** for `swift_macros` by default, which helps reduce redundant build actions, and is implemented by updating the `get_uses_experimental_content_based_path_hashing` function in `prelude/apple/swift/swift_incremental_support.bzl` to check for a `has_content_based_path` attribute. This **optimization** is necessary because `swift_macros` are built against the execution platform, and a platform transition prevents the direct use of the toolchain's experimental content-based path hashing flag. The change ensures **more efficient builds** for projects utilizing `swift_macros` by allowing their build outputs to be properly deduplicated. | Dec 18 | 1 | grow |
