* Keep a list's items field by field in its leaveseunhhu2026-09-281-231/+343
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An item was its own allocation (a share stamp and a cell per field) that a leaf pointed to, so reading a field of items one after another chased a pointer to wherever each was made: a count over 100,000 accounts built by HTTP took 14.5 ms, against 4.6 ms after a restart laid them out in order. A leaf now holds its items' cells field by field, numbers as binary64 arrays and texts as spans, and pure_list_run gives a leaf's columns to read item after item. Copy on write moves to the leaf: a change copies the path including its leaf, whose texts stay shared; texts carry the share stamp items had, so one a snapshot may read is retired, not freed. An event's log keeps a removed item's cells until the event is kept or undone. A node split at the end of the list leaves the full node full, so lists that grow at their end (histories, keyed lists filled in key order) fill their leaves. An account of three numbers and a text now takes 41 bytes in a leaf, not some 130 across its allocation and the leaf's pointer. The same count now takes 4.7 ms however the list was built, below SQLite's 6.1 ms on the same rows. list_trees passes unchanged, and the app model's tests under ASan and UBSan.
* Keep a list's items in a persistent treeeunhhu2026-09-271-108/+462
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A list was one array of item pointers: an item's place in the stored form was found by adding up the sizes of every item before it, so each change and each appended row cost O(n); a snapshot copied a changed list's whole array at each save; and a list held at most 65,536 items. A bank of 30,000 accounts ran transfers at 299 us of CPU each, and set up in time growing with the square of its rows. Items now live in a B+tree of fanout 32 whose nodes know the items below them, their stored bytes and the first of them: positions, keys (keyed lists) and stored offsets are found in O(log n). Nodes carry the list's share count when made, as items do: one a snapshot may read never changes, so a change copies the path to it and retires the nodes it replaced, and a share is a root and a count. Reads in order go through a finger, each thread's last leaf. A list may hold 2^24 items. list_trees checks it against a model array: 6,000 events of inserts, removals and field changes, 1,195 of them undone, up to 8,983 items (three levels), the stored form equal byte for byte, four shares kept whole while the list changes on, and 13,959 keyed items found by key as a binary search finds them. The app model's tests pass under ASan and UBSan too.
* Lay Pure out as a core with the parts selected around iteunhhu2026-09-271-0/+428
The app model, the tree store and the HTTP host lived in prototypes/connections among the earlier document runtime, the store was known only by its format's name, and Vega compiled six Pure sources by path. Now, as the README's principle has it: core/ runtime, flow and the app model (module*.c), with what the core asks of storage (state.h, store.h) store/ the tree store (PURETRE3, PUREREC1) serve/ pure-serve: HTTP host, outbound delivery, JSON in place cli/ pure-run, pure-edit-module A top-level make builds libpure.a (app model and store, for hosts to link) and the hosts; make check runs the store's and the app model's tests. The earlier runtime still builds from prototypes/connections against core/ and store/ (check, check-tree and check-core pass). Design 009 records the rule: parts by role behind libraries; git repositories split by coupling, so the store stays here while its contract moves with the core, and Vega stays apart.
