Problem

After any edit, vp run typecheck for apps/server, and the t3 leg of check:changed, runs a full effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit over the whole server program. Nothing is kept between runs, so a one-line change costs 9-11 s on Windows. Inside the package the run isn't cached either: typecheck is a package.json script, so vp run typecheck there prints "cache disabled" and takes about 13 s every time.

#22716 solved the caching half for web, desktop and marketing by making their typecheck a Vite+ task and excluding the state file the checker rewrites from the task's inputs. The server was left as a plain script and keeps no compiler state.

Change

In apps/server, typecheck moves from a package.json script to a task in apps/server/vite.config.ts, next to the existing build task (a script and a task can't share a name).

• The command is effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit --incremental --tsBuildInfoFile node_modules/.cache/tsc/typecheck.tsbuildinfo. effect-tsgo tsrs passes the flags through to tsrs, which reads and writes that file.
• The state path is fixed, so the task's cache key does not change per commit.
• At config load, git rev-parse HEAD is compared with node_modules/.cache/tsc/revision. When they differ, the whole node_modules/.cache/tsc folder is removed and the new revision is written. State from another revision can hide Effect-rule diagnostics (see below), so a new HEAD starts cold. Without git (a source tarball, a Docker build without .git) the revision is the empty string and nothing is ever cleared.
• cache.input and cache.output keep automatic tracking and exclude node_modules/.cache/tsc/**.

composite is not used in tsconfig.json, because it also turns on declaration and requires every source file to be listed by include or files. The state lives in node_modules/.cache, which isn't tracked and is removed by clean, and it is excluded from outputs, so a task-cache hit never restores or uploads it.

Entry points are unchanged: vp run typecheck, vp run --filter t3 typecheck, the root typecheck, check:changed's filtered typecheck, CI's vpr typecheck, and release's vp run typecheck.

History of this branch: opened before #31028 (effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit for every package). A maintainer merged main into it and a follow-up moved the command from tsc to effect-tsgo tsrs to keep Effect's rules. A maintainer then took it over and pushed three changes: fix(server): typecheck config passes effect rules and survives a missing git checkout (namespace node: imports with the nodeBuiltinImport directive that apps/web/vite.config.ts uses, since the Effect rule TS377057 failed Build and Typecheck and lint rejected the named imports; a no-git fallback for git rev-parse; deleting stale state), a merge of main (141f0be66a), and c7c1d31b85 (a fixed state path plus a revision file, so the task cache key no longer changes per commit).

Scope and approval

Build-tooling maintenance with no product change. It follows #22716's pattern for the other three apps. Described first in Ideas discussion #30871. A maintainer has since taken this PR over. If you'd rather settle it in the discussion first, I'm happy to close this.

Evidence

Windows 11, 32 threads, Node 26.12.1, Vite+ 1.4.0, @effect/tsgo 0.67.1, below-normal priority, exclusive timing lock held for the timed runs, head c7c1d31b85. Each figure is the wall time of vp run <task> from apps/server on a task-cache miss unless stated, n=5, median (min), pair order alternating. "Before" is a cached task running effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit, the command of the current script. Rows: raw-{body,sig,contract,cold,noop,commit,regen}.jsonl.

Workload	Before	After: incremental task
Body-only edit in a leaf (src/cli/doctor.ts), state warm	9.60 s (9.06)	3.50 s (3.22), faster 5/5
Export-signature edit, 8 importers (src/auth/utils.ts)	10.07 s (9.05)	8.73 s (7.53), faster 5/5
Contract edit (packages/contracts/src/project.ts, whole graph)	9.63 s (8.85)	10.42 s (9.45), faster 1/5: no gain, +0.8 s
Cold: no task cache, no state file (what CI starts with)	10.10 s (9.42)	9.24 s (8.59), faster 4/5
No-op rerun, cached task	2.51 s	2.39 s (task hit in both)

Notes on the rows:

• The first two incremental runs after the state was created are slower than the median suggests. In the body-edit rows the first run was 9.7 s and the second 6.8 s, then 3.2-3.5 s. The medians include them.
• Today's script, run uncached inside the package, takes 13.2 s (13.0), n=5 (raw-noop.jsonl, arm B0). As a task it is cached by default, so an unchanged rerun becomes a 2.4 s hit. That is a caching effect, not incrementality.
• Absolute times drift on this shared machine: the same baseline took 9.6 s in this run and 11.5 s in my previous one. The cold row used to read slower than baseline (+1.3 s) and now reads faster; treat it as "no meaningful cost", not as a gain.

What a commit costs

The state is cleared whenever HEAD changes, so the first typecheck after a commit has nothing to reuse, and the state a cold run writes does not give full speed on the next run. raw-regen.jsonl, n=5, state cleared, then successive body edits, C only:

Run after the state was cleared	Time (median, min)
0: cold, unedited	10.97 s (10.7)
1st edit	8.25 s (7.52)
2nd edit	4.02 s (3.62)
3rd to 5th edit	3.5-3.9 s
Baseline, for reference	11.50 s (10.46)

raw-commit.jsonl, n=5, one commit (touching an unrelated file, so the task hits), then three body edits:

Step	Incremental	Baseline
Typecheck right after the commit (task-cache hit; state is gone)	2.17 s	-
1st edit	10.24 s (9.48)	10.44 s (9.95)
2nd edit	8.36 s (7.05)	-
3rd edit	3.69 s (2.91)	-

So the 3.5 s body-edit figure holds only for the third and later typecheck after a commit. Someone who commits after every change sees little or no gain: the first edit costs the same as the baseline and the second about 2 s less. Rows from an earlier version of this run (raw-commit-run1-unprimed.jsonl) did not hit the task cache after the commit, because my harness changed the tree between runs; they are kept but not used.

Correctness

After every step, the incremental task and a clean effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit (no cache, no state) were compared on exit code and on the full diagnostic set, including Effect-rule errors and suggestions. 92 comparisons: raw-corr.jsonl (58), raw-state.jsonl (10), raw-new.jsonl (24). All 92 match.

• A leaf type error and its fix; an Effect-rule error in one file (85 errors).
• An Effect-rule diagnostic in an unchanged importer after only the imported file changed, introduced three ways.
• A contract export rename (389 errors) and a contract type change (18); a server tsconfig.json option (2,313); tsconfig.effect.json rule changes (an Effect rule turned on, 5,369 errors; a new rule, 475; a rule switched off) and noUncheckedIndexedAccess off in tsconfig.base.json.
• A corrupt state file, a missing one, a half-truncated one and one filled with garbage bytes, each with a type error; two simultaneous runs.
• Branch switches by git checkout -f --detach. To origin/main~40, ~150, ~300, ~350, ~380 and ~400 and back each time, plus the three commits that stood for ~350, ~380 and ~400 when I first reported the mismatch (72f05f6d8e, 638947e7db, fc1d604e39). All equal, including the three that previously differed (7,197 to 7,245 errors, exit 2 in both arms). The earlier mismatch was 7,120 against 7,180 errors. For the large switches I also ran effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit directly, without vp run, and its diagnostics equal the clean vp run output.
• A switch back to a revision whose task result is cached. After each switch back, the task hit the cache, the state file was absent (the folder holds only revision), and the output was correct. A type error introduced right after such a hit was reported, and so was its fix, in the ~400 and head round trips (raw-corr.jsonl, corr4).
• A task-cache hit across a commit. Two rounds of: prime, commit a change to an unrelated file, typecheck (hit; state absent), then a valid edit, a type error, the fix, a no-op rerun; and a variant with the type error right after the hit. 12 comparisons, all equal. The first typecheck after the hit is a cold run (13.6-16.3 s in these unlocked runs), then incremental again.
• Working tree changed without a HEAD change. git checkout origin/main~400 -- <server src, packages, tsconfig> leaves HEAD, so the state is kept: 7,375 errors, equal to the clean run, and equal again after git reset --hard. Same for ~40 (21 errors).

The earlier mismatch (a stale-state loss of 60 missingEffectError diagnostics) does not reproduce on this head. I still do not know its root cause, so I can't say the revision key fixes the cause rather than avoiding the trigger. It never reproduced for a same-HEAD working-tree change here, but I only tried two ranges.

Checks of the revision logic

• After a new commit. The state is cleared at the first vp command that loads the config, whichever command it is (vp test run <file> cleared it, then a typecheck was cold and equal to clean). With a task-cache hit, the folder holds only the new revision and nothing recreates the state until the next real run. Resetting to the old commit clears it again.
• GIT_DIR=/nonexistent. vp run typecheck exits 0, revision is empty, the state is kept in the same fixed file; with a type error the exit code and diagnostics equal the clean run. Back with git, the folder is cleared (empty against HEAD) and the next run is correct.
• Linked worktree. Every correctness run here happened in a linked worktree (.git is a file), where git rev-parse HEAD from import.meta.dirname returns the worktree's HEAD. It also returns the right HEAD in the main checkout, and it fails with exit 128 outside a repository, which the catch turns into the empty revision.
• Cost of git rev-parse HEAD at config load. 24.5 ms median, 19.8 ms min, 41.5 ms max (n=30) in isolation. End to end, vp test run src/os-jank.test.ts in apps/server with the git call against the same config with it replaced by a constant, n=12 alternating: 2.70 s against 2.67 s, +29 ms median (raw-new.jsonl and timing-c). It is paid by every vp command that loads this config.
• Two commands at once, same HEAD. A cold typecheck with a second command (vp test run, another typecheck, or the clean task) starting 1.5-11.5 s in: 9 runs, both commands exit 0, the typecheck's diagnostics equal the clean run, and the state file is written. Nothing is cleared when HEAD is unchanged.
• Two commands at once, HEAD changes in between. The cleared folder can sit under a running tsrs. 9 runs (cold and incremental, offsets 0.3-11.8 s): the running typecheck exits 0 with the correct diagnostics in every run, and the second command exits 0, with no EBUSY/EPERM from the delete. What is lost is the state: in the 6 runs where the second command started 6-11.8 s in, the state file was gone afterwards and the next run was cold. No incorrect result. A state file that tsrs writes after the folder was cleared (the 0.3-1.5 s cases) carries the new revision, which is harmless for a commit with an unchanged tree but is untested for a checkout that changes files while tsrs is running.
• vp run and a hidden error line. The note about vp run dropping the end of a long tsrs output does not reproduce on Windows. For a clean tree and for a tree with one type error, the output is 132 KB (476 lines), and across 5 runs each, vp exec effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit, vp run --no-cache tcbase and vp run typecheck returned the same diagnostic set, the error line included, with the same last line, and stdout piped. The large ~350-~400 outputs (7,000+ errors) also matched. vp run adds two lines (its task header); nothing is dropped. I did not test an interactive terminal.

Behaviour differences

• pnpm run typecheck and pnpm --filter t3 typecheck stop working in apps/server, as they already did for web, desktop and marketing after build: upgrade Vite+ to 1.3 and cache typecheck #22716. vp run typecheck works.
• vp run typecheck in apps/server is now cached by default.
• A shared task cache misses once after this lands, because the command changed. After that the key is stable across commits.
• Each checkout keeps about 1.6 MB of compiler state and a revision file in node_modules/.cache/tsc/.
• Every vp command in apps/server runs git rev-parse HEAD once (about 25 ms) at config load, and may delete the folder.
• The first typecheck after each commit is cold, and a task-cache hit after a commit leaves no state, so the next edit is cold as well.
• Without git the state is never cleared on a revision change.

Not verified

• macOS. The Linux verification in this thread was by a maintainer.
• The remote task cache, and check:changed end to end on Windows.
• A dependency change at an unchanged HEAD (a pnpm install with a changed lockfile edit that is not committed): the revision does not change, so the state is kept. I did not test it.
• A branch switch followed by a reinstall.
• A checkout that changes files while a typecheck is running.
• The cause of the dropped diagnostics seen when one state file was reused across revisions.
• Interactive-terminal output of vp run for long tsrs output.

Walkthrough

The server package’s typecheck script is removed. The Vite configuration adds a typecheck task with incremental checking and a build-info path keyed by Git HEAD. It clears the TypeScript cache directory when that build-info file is absent.

Changes: Server typecheck

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Incremental typecheck task apps/server/vite.config.ts, apps/server/package.json	The Vite configuration derives the build-info path from Git HEAD, falling back to no-git if Git lookup fails. If the build-info file is absent, it removes the TypeScript cache directory. The typecheck task uses incremental checking and excludes the build-info file from task cache inputs and outputs. The package’s typecheck script is removed.

Merge of main at 5eabf66076

• merged current github/main (c52df24d28) with a merge commit. The one conflict was in apps/server/package.json: kept main's new speech:catalog:* scripts and left out the typecheck script, which this PR moves to the vite.config.ts task.
• vp run check:changed against c52df24d28 on a Blacksmith testbox: format, lint, knip, graphql, unused patches, typecheck (40 packages) and the nearby test passed. vp run --no-cache typecheck in apps/server exited 0 and wrote revision and typecheck.tsbuildinfo.

Takeover update at c7c1d31b85

What changed since 92aba9a:

• merged current github/main (298cb24140) with a merge commit, no conflicts.
• Build and Typecheck failed because effect's nodeBuiltinImport rule (TS377057) rejected the node:child_process import in apps/server/vite.config.ts. The error was buried under the suggestion output. The imports now use namespaces with the same nodeBuiltinImport:off directive apps/web/vite.config.ts uses. That also fixes the Lint namespace-node-imports error.
• the state path and the task command no longer contain the HEAD sha. Before, every commit changed the task's cache key, so the server typecheck could never hit the shared task cache across commits. Config load now writes HEAD to node_modules/.cache/tsc/revision and clears the state when HEAD changes. That keeps one state file and still never reuses state from another revision.
• without a git checkout, the revision is empty instead of making config load throw.

Verified on a Blacksmith testbox (linux):

• vp run typecheck in apps/server: exit 0. The second run hit the task cache.
• after an empty commit: still a task-cache hit, and the stale state file was cleared.
• an injected type error exited 2 and passed once it was removed. Running effect-tsgo tsrs --incremental directly printed the error with cold state, warm state plus a new file, and warm state plus an edited file.
• with GIT_DIR=/nonexistent: exit 0.
• vp run check:changed against 298cb24140: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (40 packages) and the nearby test all passed.

Not related to this PR: vp run sometimes drops the end of tsrs's long suggestion output, including the error line. The exit code stays correct. Main's plain effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit task does the same, so I left it alone.

Not verified: windows/macOS, and Pyseph's main~350+ branch-switch case on this exact head. That case now starts from cleared state.

• reproduced on github/main (9e85538535c8): two vp run typecheck runs from apps/server reported "cache disabled" and created no incremental state.
• on this head, the same command created a 1,544,880-byte compiler-state file and the next run hit the task cache.
• temporary leaf and shared-contract type errors produced the same diagnostic messages and failing exit codes as clean tsc --noEmit. a failed check failed again on rerun. restoring sources passed. a corrupt state file still detected a new error, and missing state was recreated on a forced recompute. a task-cache hit did not restore the excluded compiler-state file. the filtered typecheck entry point passed too.
• vp run check:changed github/main passed through blacksmith-check: format, lint, knip, graphql, unused patches, affected typechecks, and the existing nearby test. all temporary edits were restored.
• started the real dev app after vp i, with isolated state and only one dev server at a time. used repo Playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome to pair, add a project pointing at a real git repo, and select Codex gpt-6.1-sol. a real provider turn read README.md, created verification.txt, and confirmed its contents. after reloading the client, the conversation persisted, the checkpoint diff showed the added line, and a second real turn read the file and replied RESUME_OK_30879.

Thanks for the merge. It kept the task's tsc --noEmit --incremental command, though, while #31028 moved every package to effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit. As it stood, the server typecheck would have stopped applying Effect's rules. I pushed a one-line fix on top of your merge, a7e128dad5, with no rebase, so the command is now effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit --incremental --tsBuildInfoFile ….

So this head differs from the one you verified, and only in that line. I've checked it on Windows: effect-tsgo passes the flags through to tsrs, and the incremental task matched a clean effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit on exit code and diagnostics in 35 of 35 comparisons so far. Those cover a leaf error, renamed and changed contract types, tsconfig options, base rule changes, Effect rule diagnostics, corrupt, missing, truncated and garbage state files, and two concurrent runs.

Branch switches and new before/after timings against the effect-tsgo baseline are still running. The numbers in the description are from the old tsc command, and I'll update them when those finish.

[Pyseph]

Note

Written by Claude Opus 5.5 on behalf of Pyseph

Please hold off on merging for now: one of the branch-switch comparisons I mentioned has come back different. After switching to origin/main~400, the incremental effect-tsgo task reported 7,120 errors and a clean run reported 7,180, so the incremental run missed 60. The same switch was identical with the old tsc command. The switches to ~40 and ~150, and the switch back each time, match a clean run. That checkout has heavy dependency drift, and CI starts cold so it wouldn't be affected, but a local check shouldn't report fewer errors than a clean run. I'm investigating whether it reproduces and what causes it, and I'll report back here.

I saw 92aba9a, thanks. I won't push on top of you while you're working on this. Here's what the investigation found, in case it helps.

The miss:

• It reproduces, and it persists. After switching to origin/main~400 with state from the branch head, the incremental run reports 7,852 diagnostics against 7,912 from a clean run, and a rerun with the same state still reports 7,852.
• Every missing diagnostic I've seen is an Effect-rule error, for example src/auth/http.ts:354:9 error TS377003: Missing errors unknown in the expected Effect type. effect(missingEffectError).
• There are none in the other direction. Clean runs are deterministic, and dropping the state makes the incremental run match. So state from another revision can hide Effect-rule errors.
• A smaller run to find how large a jump triggers this is still going.

Keying the state by HEAD targets the right thing. Some things to weigh:

• execFileSync("git", …) at config load runs on every vp command in apps/server, and it throws where there's no git checkout, such as a source tarball or a Docker build without .git. It probably needs a fallback.
• Every commit leaves another state file of about 1.5 MB in node_modules/.cache/tsc/, and nothing prunes them.
• The first typecheck after each commit is cold, so the gain only applies to edits between commits.
• Lint wants import * as NodeChildProcess from "node:child_process".

Build and Typecheck says 39/40 tasks succeeded with exit code 2, but I can't find an error-severity line in the log, only suggestions. a7e128d passed with the same command apart from the file name, so I don't know the cause yet.

Tell me if you'd rather I take this from here.

[Pyseph]

Note

The final numbers for the incremental task under effect-tsgo are in, measured on a7e128d's command (Windows, n=5 alternating, median). Rows and scripts: https://gist.github.com/Pyseph/6443c0670fd25d5c329d6732f5acb1b3

Workload	effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit task	Incremental
Body-only edit	11.47 s	4.58 s, faster in 4/5
Export-signature edit	13.55 s	12.39 s
Contract edit	12.02 s	11.60 s, faster in 2/5, so no gain
Cold	11.26 s	12.54 s, slower in 4/5
No-op rerun	2.95 s	3.43 s

Correctness: 55 of 60 comparisons matched a clean run. That includes an Effect-rule error that appears in an unchanged importer after only the imported file changed, every state-damage case, and branch switches back to main~300.

The 5 that differ are all switches to main~350, ~380 or ~400, which predate the Effect 4.1.2 upgrade while the installed packages are newer. There, the incremental run omits 60 missingEffectError (TS377003) diagnostics out of 7,180 errors. Exit codes still agree, and I couldn't build a case where incremental passes and clean fails. A checkout that old with newer packages installed is unusual, but I don't have a root cause, so I can't say it's limited to that.

My read: the gain is smaller than the description claims. It's about 7 s on body edits, nothing on wide edits, and cold runs now cost 1.3 s more instead of 0.2 s. Whether that's worth a known case of dropped diagnostics, plus HEAD-keyed state with its git call and leftover files, is your call. I can see three options:

1. Keep one state file and document the limitation. CI starts cold, so it's unaffected.
2. Finish the per-revision approach, with a no-git fallback and pruning.
3. Close the PR. That's fine by me.

I'll update the description to match whichever you pick.

- Line 85: Keep the Vite Task typecheck command stable by removing the load-time
typecheckRevision value from its command string; select the revision-specific
TYPECHECK_BUILD_INFO path when the command executes instead. Verify that
changing only an unrelated file across two commits allows the cached typecheck
result to be reused.

I verified c7c1d31b85 on Windows, and the design holds up. I've updated the description with the details. Rows and scripts: https://gist.github.com/Pyseph/25be21264c5dda19ab5cd47310b5dc41

• Correctness: all 92 comparisons match a clean effect-tsgo tsrs --noEmit, including the switches to main~350, ~380 and ~400 that differed before, a task-cache hit across a commit, and every state-damage case.
• Timing (n=5 alternating, median): body edit 9.60 -> 3.50 s, export-signature edit 10.07 -> 8.73 s, contract edit 9.63 -> 10.42 s (no gain), cold 10.10 -> 9.24 s, no-op 2.51 -> 2.39 s.
• Your new risks: git rev-parse costs about 25 ms at config load. Clearing the folder under a running tsrs caused no failure in 9 runs; only the state is lost. The dropped error line doesn't reproduce on Windows with piped output; I didn't test an interactive terminal.

One real cost: every commit resets the speedup. After a commit, the first edit takes about 10 s (same as baseline), the second about 8 s, and the 3.5 s only holds from the third typecheck on. Someone who commits after every change sees little or no gain.

An idea, not yet tested: the dropped diagnostics only appeared across the Effect 4.1.2 upgrade; a switch to main~300 was fine and ~350 wasn't. A commit changes nothing a normal edit doesn't. So clearing on a hash of pnpm-lock.yaml instead of HEAD might keep the state across ordinary commits, still clear it across dependency changes, need no git call, and work in a tarball. I'm running that against the same matrix now and will post the numbers. I won't push anything to the branch; it's yours to take or leave.

The lockfile idea I floated doesn't hold up, so please keep your HEAD-keyed design. Rows: https://gist.github.com/Pyseph/bd786c6e60ff7e3d956c73a75116ed8d

Keying the state on a hash of pnpm-lock.yaml still drops Effect-rule diagnostics on switches that leave the lockfile unchanged. In 176 comparisons against a clean run, 12 differ, for example 7cf653bca6 -> 6b3b3b75bd (7,099 errors against 7,159) and two commits four apart, 5b9731cedc -> 55e2538561 (7,320 against 7,361). node_modules was identical at every step, so dependencies aren't the trigger.

Every mismatch is missingEffectError or missingEffectContext, in revisions that predate the Effect upgrade and carry about 7,000 errors on the installed packages, and exit code 2 either way. Revisions after the upgrade all matched. I haven't found the root cause, but this does mean clearing on HEAD is doing real work.

It would have saved about 8 s on the first edit after a commit (12.76 -> 4.29 s), so the commit cost stays as the known trade-off.
