# Performance Closeout
Date: 2026-03-01
## Acceptance Criteria Mapping
1. CBO improves plan quality measurably on skewed/mixed workloads and remains within planning latency budgets.
- Status: Met.
- Evidence:
- Planner stats lifecycle + mode fallback landed (CBO/heuristic selection + stats versioning).
- Tests: `explain_uses_cbo_when_fresh_stats_available`, `explain_falls_back_to_heuristic_when_stats_are_stale`.
- Artifacts and implementation tracked under the corresponding maintainability and performance reports in governance history.
2. Hot-path kernels meet correctness parity and deliver benchmarked latency/throughput gains.
- Status: Met.
- Evidence:
- Batched cosine kernel path with Zig hook integrated.
- Parity test: `cosine_batch_kernel_matches_scalar_scores`.
- Runtime knob sweep artifacts:
- `artifacts/tuning_sweep_report.json`
- Recommended config: `default` (`morsel=256`, `workers=0`, `scan_mult=64`) with best burst p99.
3. p95/p99 telemetry is accurate, actionable, and tied to automated regression thresholds.
- Status: Met.
- Evidence:
- True percentile estimator implemented for p95/p99.
- Prometheus export and CLI metrics include p99.
- Regression gate automation:
- `scripts/slo_gate.sh`
- `scripts/release_gate.sh`
- Gate artifacts:
- `artifacts/slo_gate_report.json`
- `artifacts/release_gate_report.json`
4. Mixed ingest/query workloads sustain target throughput with stable tail latency.
- Status: Met.
- Evidence:
- Mixed workload matrix:
- `artifacts/mixed_workload_report.json`
- Soak + failure injection:
- `artifacts/soak_failure_report.json`
- `failure_injection.recover_failures = 0`
- Concurrent stress:
- `artifacts/concurrent_stress_report.json`
- All corresponding SLO/overall checks pass.
5. Benchmark and runbook artifacts are complete and reproducible for external users.
- Status: Met.
- Evidence:
- Scripts:
- `mixed_workload_matrix.sh`
- `soak_failure_check.sh`
- `concurrent_stress.sh`
- `tuning_sweep.sh`
- `release_gate.sh`
- Runbook:
- `docs/performance/performance_runbook.md`
- User-facing entrypoint:
- `README.md` performance testing section.
## Rollout Decision
- Alpha readiness: Pass (`artifacts/release_gate_report.json`)
- Beta readiness: Pass (`artifacts/release_gate_report.json`)
- Recommended runtime query config:
- `IR_QUERY_MORSEL_SIZE=256`
- `IR_QUERY_PARALLEL_WORKERS=0`
- `IR_QUERY_SCAN_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER=64`
- `IR_QUERY_SCAN_MIN=512`
## Residual Risks
- Current harnesses are local single-node workloads; production rollout should re-run gates on target hardware profiles.
- Release thresholds are currently implemented through shell-based parsers over JSON; if schema evolves, parser maintenance is required.
