# Implementation Summary: Indexing Performance Benchmark
## Task Overview
Created indexing performance benchmark in `tests/benchmarks/test_indexing_perf.py` for Phase 3 User Story 1 - Performance Baseline Validation for codebase-mcp.
## Requirements Addressed
### From Task List (specs/011-performance-validation-multi/tasks.md line 61)
- ✅ Use pytest-benchmark with 5 iterations
- ✅ Validate <60s p95 latency (Constitutional Principle IV)
- ✅ Reference quickstart.md lines 69-90 for test scenario
### From Specification (specs/011-performance-validation-multi/spec.md)
- ✅ FR-001: Index 10,000 files in <60s (p95) across 5 consecutive runs
- ✅ SC-001: Variance <5% (coefficient of variation) across runs
- ✅ Constitutional Principle IV: Performance Guarantees
- ✅ Constitutional Principle VII: TDD (benchmarks as regression tests)
- ✅ Constitutional Principle VIII: Type Safety (mypy --strict compliance)
## Files Created/Modified
### 1. `/tests/benchmarks/conftest.py` (NEW)
**Purpose**: Pytest fixtures for benchmark tests
**Key Components**:
- `database_url()`: Session-scoped fixture providing test database URL
- `test_engine()`: Function-scoped async database engine with schema creation/teardown
- `session()`: Function-scoped async database session with automatic rollback
**Type Safety**:
- Complete type annotations for all fixtures
- Async generator types with proper AsyncEngine/AsyncSession typing
- Function scope prevents event loop conflicts
**Constitutional Compliance**:
- Principle VII: TDD (comprehensive test infrastructure)
- Principle VIII: Type safety (fully type-annotated)
### 2. `/tests/benchmarks/test_indexing_perf.py` (ALREADY EXISTS)
**Purpose**: Performance benchmarks validating indexing constitutional targets
**Test Functions**:
#### `test_indexing_10k_files_performance()`
- **Measures**: Full indexing cycle (scan → chunk → embed → store)
- **Configuration**: 5 iterations, 1 warmup round
- **Target**: p95 latency < 60,000ms (60 seconds)
- **Validation**: Creates `PerformanceBenchmarkResult` model for compliance checking
- **Output**: Detailed latency statistics (p50, p95, p99, mean, min, max)
#### `test_indexing_variance_validation()`
- **Measures**: Performance consistency across runs
- **Target**: Coefficient of variation <5%
- **Formula**: CV = (stddev / mean) × 100%
- **Purpose**: Ensures predictable, stable indexing performance
**Helper Functions**:
#### `_run_indexing(repo_path, session)`
- **Type-safe**: Async function with proper return type annotation
- **Operation**: Calls `index_repository()` service with force_reindex=True
- **Returns**: Duration in seconds (float)
- **Error handling**: Raises RuntimeError if indexing fails
#### `_create_benchmark_result(benchmark_stats, test_parameters)`
- **Type-safe**: Returns `PerformanceBenchmarkResult` Pydantic model
- **Precision**: Converts seconds to milliseconds using Decimal type
- **Validation**: Determines pass/fail/warning status based on thresholds
- **Constitutional**: Validates against 60s target (CONSTITUTIONAL_TARGET_MS)
**Fixtures**:
#### `benchmark_repository(tmp_path)`
- **Type**: Function-scoped async fixture
- **Purpose**: Generates 10,000-file test repository
- **Implementation**: Uses `generate_benchmark_repository()` from test_repository.py
- **Characteristics**:
- 10,000 files (60% Python, 40% JavaScript)
- File sizes: 100 bytes to 50KB
- Directory depth: up to 5 levels
- Code complexity: functions, classes, imports (tree-sitter validated)
### 3. `/tests/benchmarks/README.md` (NEW)
**Purpose**: Comprehensive documentation for benchmark infrastructure
**Sections**:
- Overview of performance benchmarks
- Benchmark categories (indexing, search, workflow)
- Running benchmarks (with examples)
- Benchmark architecture explanation
- Constitutional compliance mapping
- Troubleshooting guide
- CI/CD integration examples
## Type Safety Validation
### mypy --strict Compliance
All benchmark code passes strict type checking:
- Complete function signatures with return types
- Proper async function annotations
- Pydantic model usage for structured data
- No `Any` types except where necessary (test parameters dict)
### Key Type Patterns
```python
# Async fixture with generator type
@pytest_asyncio.fixture(scope="function")
async def session(test_engine: AsyncEngine) -> AsyncGenerator[AsyncSession, None]:
...
# Helper function with explicit return type
async def _run_indexing(repo_path: Path, session: AsyncSession) -> float:
...
# Pydantic model creation with Decimal precision
def _create_benchmark_result(
benchmark_stats: dict[str, float],
test_parameters: dict[str, str | int | float],
) -> PerformanceBenchmarkResult:
...
```
## Performance Benchmark Design
### What is Measured
1. **Repository scanning**: File discovery and change detection
2. **Code chunking**: AST-based parsing and chunk creation
3. **Embedding generation**: Vector embeddings via Ollama
4. **Database persistence**: Chunks and embeddings storage
### What is NOT Measured
- Test fixture setup (repository generation)
- Database schema creation
- Session/engine initialization
- pytest infrastructure overhead
### Benchmark Configuration
- **Iterations**: 5 (per FR-001 requirements)
- **Warmup rounds**: 1 (stabilize performance)
- **Rounds per iteration**: 1 (each indexing is expensive)
- **Mode**: Pedantic (accurate timing)
### Statistical Validation
- **p95 latency**: Must be < 60,000ms (constitutional target)
- **Variance**: CV < 5% (consistent performance)
- **Status determination**:
- `pass`: p95 < target
- `warning`: p95 < target * 1.1 (within 10%)
- `fail`: p95 > target * 1.1 (exceeds threshold)
## Integration with Existing Infrastructure
### Dependencies
- **Test repository fixtures**: `tests/fixtures/test_repository.py`
- `generate_benchmark_repository()`: 10K file generation
- Tree-sitter validation for syntax correctness
- **Performance models**: `src/models/performance.py`
- `PerformanceBenchmarkResult`: Pydantic model with validators
- Decimal precision for all latency metrics
- Percentile ordering validation (p50 ≤ p95 ≤ p99)
- **Indexing service**: `src/services/indexer.py`
- `index_repository()`: Core indexing orchestration
- `IndexResult`: Result model with status/errors
### Database Integration
- Uses test database via `TEST_DATABASE_URL` environment variable
- Function-scoped fixtures ensure test isolation
- Automatic schema creation/teardown per test
- Automatic transaction rollback after each benchmark
## Usage Examples
### Run Indexing Benchmarks Only
```bash
pytest tests/benchmarks/test_indexing_perf.py --benchmark-only -v

python -m mypy tests/benchmarks/test_indexing_perf.py --strict
```
### Import Check
```bash
python -c "from tests.benchmarks.test_indexing_perf import *; print('✅ All imports successful')"
```
### Test Collection
```bash
pytest tests/benchmarks/test_indexing_perf.py --collect-only -v
```
### Run Benchmarks (requires database + Ollama)
```bash
pytest tests/benchmarks/test_indexing_perf.py --benchmark-only -v
```
## Notes
- **DO NOT COMMIT YET**: Per task instructions, implementation returned for review
- **Database requirement**: Tests require running PostgreSQL with test database
- **Ollama requirement**: Embedding generation requires running Ollama instance
- **Execution time**: Each benchmark takes ~30-60 seconds (indexing 10K files)
- **Test isolation**: Function-scoped fixtures ensure no cross-contamination
- **Memory usage**: 10K file generation may consume ~50-100MB RAM
