Performance bottlenecks within the `agent-autoloop` kernel, worker, and host components, specifically concerning excessive I/O, redundant computation, and inefficient data access.

Technical Positioning
Scalable, efficient, and performant background agent orchestration. The goal is to minimize resource consumption and maximize throughput for long-running tasks and multiple concurrent workers, ensuring enterprise-grade operational stability.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This analysis reveals severe performance liabilities within `agent-autoloop`, stemming from linear scaling overheads in I/O, computation, and data access. Excessive `heartbeat` writes, full re-calculation of due tables on every input, and repeated parsing/freezing of configuration objects represent critical inefficiencies. These issues will directly impact scalability, increasing operational costs and degrading performance as worker counts or task histories grow. For a B2B SaaS offering background agent orchestration, such bottlenecks are detrimental. They limit the system's ability to handle enterprise workloads, leading to higher infrastructure expenses and potential service degradation. Proactive measurement and optimization, particularly through throttling, incremental updates, and caching, are imperative to achieve enterprise-grade performance and cost-efficiency.

几个随历史/worker 数线性放大的固定开销(建议先加测量再改)

# 几个随历史/worker 数线性放大的固定开销(建议先加测量再改)

**版本**:`3930f09`(2026-11-04 上游 HEAD) · **区域**:`kernel/`、`worker/`、`host/`

下面的数字不是实测,是代码路径;仓库已有 `scripts/benchmark.ts` 和 `scripts/history.ts`,建议先补对应场景再改实现。四项按「收益/风险」排序。

## 1. 忙碌时心跳每秒写一条 `seen` 事实(写放大)

- `worker/worker.ts:455-460`:手上有 run 时 `wait: 1`,每秒一轮;
- `kernel/http.ts:146`:每个 `/v1/work` 都 dispatch `heartbeat`;
- `kernel/decide.ts:480-489`:每次都更新 `seen_at` → 必然追加一条事实(WAL + FULL,一条一次 fsync)。
- 一次 30 分钟的任务约 1800 条事实,8 小时忙碌约 2.9 万条;而 `seen` 只用于 `WORKER_FRESH = 2 分钟` 与 `RUN_LEASE = 5 分钟`(`kernel/due.ts:6-12`),秒级精度完全过剩。
- 建议:`heartbeat` handler 里按 15–30 秒节流(`now - seen_at >= 15_000` 才写;run 的 `seen_at` 按 30–60 秒更新),worker 仍可每秒来问活/查取消,语义不变。节流后同样的测试(租约/离线)应全部通过,并断言 1 分钟心跳只产生 2–4 条事实。

## 2. 每个输入都全量重算到期表

- `kernel/decide.ts:63-71`:`decide` 末尾无条件调用 `deadlines()`;
- `kernel/due.ts:14-53`:扫描 schedules、timers、全部 queued runs、deliveries、`workers × waitingOn`。
- 忙碌时每秒心跳 × worker 数,每个输入都做一遍全量扫描;而外壳的 `arm()`(`host/server.ts:76-90`)只关心最小值。
- 建议(按风险递增):(a) 只对会改变到期时间的输入重算(tick、later/cancel、claim/finish、delivery 状态、rules);(b) 把 `due` 做成像 `projection_pending` 一样由 `evolve` 增量维护的投影。保持 `decide(view, input, now, environment)` 的确定性,用 `sim/invariants.ts` 校验「due 表 == 直接重算」。

## 3. 配置行与规则对象被反复查询/解析/深冻结

- `kernel/query.ts:7-11`:`configuration`/`workerOf` 每次 `view.get`;
- `kernel/query.ts:23-28`:`waitingOn` 对每个 worker 扫全部 queued+claimed run,并对每个 run 调 `workerOf`;
- `kernel/evolve.ts:97-104`:`View.get` 无缓存,每次 SQLite `SELECT` + `JSON.parse` + 递归 `Object.freeze`。
- 结果...
