From 2fcf862c1ae953afa57b213288df7f659b688b28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 13:22:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf: keep what the TypeScript check found between runs A one-shot build, CI run or restarted dev server type checked the whole program from nothing: nothing the last run found was kept, and `readBuilderProgram` was never called. A program that writes nothing (the default `readonly` mode) is now built with `incremental` and a `tsBuildInfoFile` in the check's cache, by the EmitAndSemantic builder, whose state `emitBuildInfo` writes after each check. A compiler's first program reads it back. Files are versioned by a hash of what they hold rather than by time and size, so a state written by another process, after a checkout, is told from the files as they are. A mode that writes is left as it was; `cache: false` keeps nothing. 301 files, one-shot: 4.7 s / 12.2 s CPU / 560 MB -> 2.0 s / 6.0 s CPU / 460 MB on the second run. Watch rebuilds unchanged.
