Reduce Hypervel Data transformation overhead - #33
Conversation
Represent unevaluated, empty, and populated partial definitions explicitly so ordinary data objects do not retain an empty mutable store after transformation. Skip empty nested propagation and preserve class-owned defaults and temporary partial consumption semantics. Use non-retaining raw object casts on the general and fixed-recipe paths while keeping hook-aware bulk reads unchanged. Add focused coverage for root objects, collections, nested values, defaults, and explicit sentinel upgrades.
Compile transformation recipes only for classes that implement TransformableData. DTOs retain their creation metadata without carrying an unreachable ordered transformation recipe or bulk-copy flag. Update the two existing metadata fixtures to extend Data because those tests intentionally assert transformation behavior and the production repository accepts BaseData classes. Keep lower-level plain fixtures unchanged so declaration analysis remains independently covered.
Extend the Data comparison harness with a typed preparation callback and report retained memory before and after transformation for flat and wide objects. This separates package-owned object state from PHP's property-table materialization and keeps future memory comparisons honest across both Data and the removed lightweight DataObject fixture.
Show how to reuse a creation factory within one operation to avoid repeating per-call setup, while keeping mutable factories out of request-spanning state. Recommend collect() when payloads form one collection so supported shapes, keys, validation rules, and collection hooks retain their intended semantics.

Greptile SummaryThis PR reduces transformation overhead while preserving existing transformation semantics.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge, with no outstanding actionable findings. The latest change correctly distinguishes statically disabled defaults from deferred closure-backed definitions, so the empty sentinel does not remove definitions that could later apply. The earlier interface-compatibility thread was manually resolved after binaryfire clarified that the package had not yet been released.

- Line 51: Update the method containing the unconditional return true near the
PartialsDefinition population logic to return whether the store was actually
populated. When the default definition contains no enabled fields and no
definition is added, return false so the empty-store fast path remains
consistent with hasPartialsDefinition(); preserve true for genuinely populated
stores.

Build class-owned partial defaults into a local store and retain it only when at least one definition survives normalization. Defaults expressed as an associative false value now resolve to the empty sentinel instead of reporting a populated store. Add focused coverage proving the predicate, internal sentinel, and transformed output remain consistent when a conditional default is disabled.

Summary
This change reduces per-object transformation overhead in
hypervel/datawithout adding a new execution mode or changing its public creation and transformation APIs.DtoclassesMotivation
Every includeable object previously allocated a mutable
PartialsDefinitionwhen its transformation context was first requested, even when the class and instance had no partial selections. That cost was retained for the lifetime of every transformed object. Nested traversal could also create empty stores while propagating a selection that did not apply to the child.The general and fixed-recipe transformation paths also used
get_mangled_object_vars(). PHP retains an expanded property table after that call. Those paths need raw storage, not the public hook-aware view, so an object-to-array cast provides the same values without retaining the table.Design
The existing partial-definition field now has three explicit states:
null: class defaults have not been inspectedfalse: defaults were inspected and no definitions existPartialsDefinition: a mutable store is requiredExplicit partial methods upgrade the empty sentinel transparently. Class-owned defaults are still evaluated once, temporary definitions are still consumed at the same boundary, and populated stores retain their existing behavior. Resolved nested selections are checked once before any child store is allocated.
The raw-storage change is intentionally limited to the general and fixed-recipe paths. Bulk copy continues to use
get_object_vars()because public property hooks own the logical output there. Source-object normalization also remains hook-aware.DataClassFactorynow compiles transformation recipes only when a class implementsTransformableData. This removes metadata that aDtocan never execute while leaving creation metadata unchanged.Performance
Measurements were taken in repeated isolated runs on PHP 8.4. The focused medians were stable across three runs.
toArray()The comparison harness now reports retained memory on equivalent transformed states:
DataObjectfixtureDataThe hook-aware bulk path still pays the PHP property-table cost because replacing it would change property-hook semantics. This PR does not add a classifier, cache, alternate transformer, or mode switch to avoid that correct behavior.
Documentation
The creation factory section now explains that one factory may be reused within a single operation to avoid repeating setup for every payload. It recommends
collect()when inputs form one collection so shape preservation, keys, collection validation rules, and hooks retain their intended semantics. Mutable factories should not be stored across requests.Verification
