From 0cdcf9a44247a6711a1e022731160a3638560f5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Vogel Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 05:30:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] test(scale): calibrate the py-LSP quadratic detector to detect quadratic (#1527) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The detector's 100x bound blocked the v0.10.1 release twice on macos-15-intel with 101.1x — and control runs on a quiet arm64 host measure the SAME curve as 57-68x, deterministically. The resolve path has never been linear for this fixture shape: per-function cost grows 0.5ms -> 1.7ms from 100 to 2000 functions, the audited short-name-lookup/no-negative-memo superlinearity now tracked as #1527. A bound calibrated as "linear plus generous overhead" on a curve that was never linear measures host constants, not complexity. The bound moves to 200x — mid-way in log space between the known ~60-100x curve and clear quadratic near 400x — so a real quadratic regression still fails by 2x margin while known behavior stops producing release-blocking false alarms on slower hosts. The measured table is pinned in the test comment; when #1527 fixes the curve, the bound comes back down to ~40x.
