bytecode_cache.rs

//! Content-addressed on-disk cache for compiled `.harn` pipelines.
//!
//! Cold-start `harn run` re-parses, type-checks, and compiles the entry
//! pipeline before the VM gets a single instruction to execute. For short
//! Harn subcommands that wrap a few `llm_call`s in a small pipeline, that
//! compile cost dominates wall-clock time.
//!
//! This module persists [`Chunk`] bytecode under
//! `$HARN_CACHE_DIR/<source-hash>.harnbc` (XDG-aware). The cache key is
//! derived from the source plus its compilation context. Entry chunks include
//! the content of every transitively-imported user file because they compile
//! the complete program. Module artifacts compile exactly one file and retain
//! unresolved import specs, so their context includes compiler and embedded
//! stdlib identity but deliberately excludes user dependencies. Any change to
//! an artifact's actual compilation inputs flips the key and recompiles it.
//!
//! File layout — little-endian throughout:
//!
//! ```text
//! magic        : [u8; 8]   = "HARNBC\0\0"
//! schema_ver   : u32       = SCHEMA_VERSION
//! version_len  : u32
//! harn_version : [u8; version_len]
//! fp_len       : u32
//! codegen_fp   : [u8; fp_len]   CODEGEN_FINGERPRINT of the producing build
//! compiler_tag : u8        bitmask of active CompilerOptions
//! kind         : u8        1 = entry chunk, 2 = module artifact
//! source_hash  : [u8; 32]
//! context_hash : [u8; 32]
//! payload      : postcard-serialized payload for `kind`
//! ```
//!
//! The header lets a stale binary detect a future-version artifact
//! without crashing: a magic mismatch, schema mismatch, or version
//! mismatch is returned as `Ok(None)` so the caller transparently
//! recompiles. Real I/O errors propagate.
//!
//! Concurrency: writes go through [`crate::atomic_io`] (write-tmp, fsync,
//! rename, fsync parent dir), and parallel invocations on a cache miss race
//! safely — the last writer wins, but every reader observes a consistent file
//! because the rename is atomic on every supported filesystem.
