M6 of design 011: with a 50 Mbit/s bottleneck, a link carries 21-41
times quinn's goodput when packets reorder, the same under random loss,
and 1.3-3.5 times with both; its p99 at 50 records a second is the same
or shorter; beside TCP CUBIC it takes 0.48-0.55 of the path, inside the
guardrail. Only on a clean path is it 3-5% below quinn.

libpure-link.a holds them; pure-serve and the M5 harness link it instead
of naming its source files.

Between two pure-serve nodes, 16 KiB records drain at 33,600 a second
(23,000 before), the links spending 58 us a record (76), under quinn's 60
while the receiver also stores each one. 1,013 bytes: 406,000 a second
(347,000). Saving sends one by one: 5,000 of 16 KiB in 0.91 s (84.8).

M5 of design 011. At first a link spent eight times quinn's CPU on a small
record: scans of the backlog, a system call and allocations a record, 19
bytes of framing. After the seven changes before this one, the transport
alone (transport.c; a backlog drained, every record checked) spends per
record 0.30 us for 61 bytes (quinn 0.27: 1.06 to 1.12 times over three
campaigns, at the design's 10 % line), 2.91 us for 1,013 bytes (quinn
3.88) and 45.2 us for 16,013 bytes (quinn 60.9): 25 % less for the larger
ones, and 30 % more records a second. What is left for small records is
per packet: the stream's names and the RECORDS head. quinn's numbers carry
no confirmation of storing and no exactly once.
Between two pure-serve nodes the links spend more per record, woken at
the receiving app's pace. Filling the sender showed the outbox is written
whole at every save, as the numbers heard were (094): the next thing to
change.
run.py gains --transport and --drain; the quinn service reads a drain a
chunk at a time and its client writes 64 KiB at a time.

M2 and M4 of design 011. Ten thousand devices send an order every five
seconds (2,000 a second); the receiver is killed (-9) at about 21 s and
started again at once. With its secrets remembered the node shows no
100 ms step without an order stored, catches up in 0.2 s, spends no more
CPU than before and makes no X25519; 34 orders were sent again, and
every order made was applied once (three rounds; on the SD card the
same, with 0.2 s silent). Without the memo it makes 10,000 X25519, 1.6 s
of CPU. quinn under the same load stops for 1.0 s and catches up after
10.9 s: 10,115 new connections, about 7 s more of the service's CPU and
8 s of the clients'. A first contact takes Pure one round trip and QUIC
two, at 10, 50 and 100 ms of RTT.
run.py --restart and --first-contact make them; the quinn harness gains
a fixed port with a reset key from its key, clients that connect again,
and a drain for M5.

M1 of design 011. A Pure node allows 1,000 to 1,000,000 senders; each
sends one order and, once told it is stored, rests. At rest a link costs
the node 132 bytes (the sender allowed, 73; its number heard, about 60)
and no transport state; with a million the node runs in 139 MB. A quinn
0.11 service holding the same exchange's clients connected at rest costs
38,106 bytes a connection: 289 times as much, past the design's 1/100.
A link at rest takes its next record in 0.56 ms to stored, one X25519 on
the node included; a new QUIC connection takes 1.06 ms and 2.8 times the
receiver's CPU, without storing.
research/experiments/019-idle-links: links.c, many senders written from
serve/link.h's packet format alone (a second implementation), and the
quinn service and clients (quic/, built offline); run.py makes both
measurements.

pure-serve --send OUTPUT=pure://host:port/INPUT sends an output's saved
sends to another node's --link-port with no handshake: the first packet
carries records. Keys come from the two nodes' keys (X25519, HKDF-SHA256,
AES-128-GCM), with a random run in each packet's header so no nonce
repeats across restarts; nothing is stored for them. What lasts is the
apps' own: the sender's outbox and the receiver's heard numbers
(pure_app_heard, new). The sender detects losses as RFC 9002 says, with
NewReno, and trims a send once the receiver says it stored it; the
receiver hands the owner whole records in order, which it applies from
the one after the source's last heard number, stopping at a gap, and
answers how far it stored with every acknowledgment. Stored bytes are
the bytes on the wire: an output and an input of one shape need no JSON.
server_links_udp kills the receiver, the sender, then both (-9) while
four clients buy: every saved order is applied once, with no handshake
(five runs, 10k-11k orders each). server_links_udp_lossy does it again in
a namespace of its own with the link's packets delayed, lost (3 %) and
reordered (10 %) by netem (three runs, 11k-12k orders).

The first draft replaced a few of QUIC's layers with what Pure already
has, every technique known and the gains constant factors, and it kept
the connection. This one removes it. Nodes have keys, links are the app's
wiring, paths are a cache of where the last authenticated packet came
from, and a link's transport state (key epoch, stored-through number,
heard numbers, packet-number reservation) is a row committed atomically
with the app's state; memory holds only active links and per-path
congestion state. So a restart of either node is invisible to the other
(no handshake, nothing lost or doubled), an idle link costs a row on
disk rather than process memory, and moving the store moves its links.
Forward secrecy comes from key epochs rather than per-connection
handshakes; replay protection survives restarts because heard numbers
are stored with the events they applied (OSCORE, the closest prior art,
needs an Echo round trip there).
Hypotheses H1-H4 and a measurement plan against quinn and ngtcp2:
memory per idle link at 10k to 1M links, kill -9 under load with 10k
active links, moving the store, first contact, and CPU, loss and fairness
as guardrails; stop if an idle link is not at least a hundred times
cheaper than a QUIC connection, if restarts need handshakes, or if
anything is lost or doubled. Beyond it: speculative execution of
verified, deterministic modules, for interactions that do not wait.

Outside feedback 002 asks for a protocol of Pure's own that beats QUIC.
Pure's delivery is already stored, numbered, applied once, and sealed per
link; QUIC and TCP with TLS own the same things again (retransmission
buffers, replay protection, encryption, flow control, acknowledgment).
The design takes the end-to-end argument literally: the sending app's
store is the retransmission buffer, one packet carries both the packet
ACK and the stored-through number, a direct link is sealed once with the
nodes' session keys, first contact carries records in its first packet
(the receiver's key is wired in advance and applying once makes replays
harmless), credits come from what the next save can take, the session is
known by its key rather than its addresses, and stored bytes are the
bytes on the wire. Loss detection, congestion control and cryptography
stay standard (RFC 9002, NewReno then CUBIC, HPKE), plain UDP sockets
rather than SOCK_RAW, HTTP stays the boundary to others.
Written before any code: the decision (this transport, QUIC with Pure's
format, or neither), the open questions, the smallest checks, a
measurement plan against quinn, ngtcp2 and the current HTTP delivery
(seven workloads, RAM and SD stores, loss and delay from unprivileged
namespaces with netem, checked to work on this Pi), and stop criteria:
no transport if it is under 30 % of a delivery's CPU; stop below 1.5x
the best QUIC per CPU; adopt at 2x with a round trip fewer, a quarter of
the memory per idle link, fair to TCP, every correctness and security
check passing, and under 5,000 lines.

A fold whose kind has PURE_FOLD_SLICED (128), and a walk whose argument
has PURE_EACH_SLICED (bit 0), first take two numbers, a low and a high
key, and run for the items of their list (keyed by a number) whose keys
are from low up to before high, found by key: the range is the program's
meaning, not an optimization, so their blocks may fault (items out of the
slice never run). A fold a leaf at a time now leaves out the lanes of a
leaf outside the items it runs for, and a leaf that would fault runs item
by item over those items alone. Slices are neither shaped nor given
automatic ranges.
ranges now checks a count over a slice whose test divides (a division by
zero failing it only when inside the slice) against a model, the same on
the item-by-item path, and a walk over a slice.

A filter, a fold or a walk's where (a test at the start of its block and a
jump to its end when it fails) that ANDs comparisons of a keyed list's key
with values reading no item gets a range at load (PureRange: a lower bound
GT or GE, an upper LT or LE, EQ both). When it runs, the bounds are found
once and looked up by key, and only the leaves between the two positions
are read: O(log n + k) where it read every item. A filter leaves the items
out of range out anyway, so it always may; a fold or a walk only when the
rest of its test and its value cannot fault (no division, sum or product
that may overflow, key or item that may be missing), since the items it
skips would have run them; a walk's bounds must also read no state, local
or list its block writes, as the where reads them anew for every item.
A bound that faults leaves the test to run for every item, as written.
A fold of kind 5 (distinct) counts the different values its included
items give (-0 as 0), with a set per fold; it runs a leaf at a time and
is never shaped. max, min and first alone fault over no item.
ranges checks, against the same module reading every item, over 60 lists
of up to 400 keyed items and 3,600 views: a count between two bounds, a sum
between a lower and an upper bound with another condition, first equal to
a key, min with the bound on the right, a count whose test may fault (no
range), a filtered table in bounds, 359 walks changing and removing the
items in bounds, and a walk whose body moves its bound (no range).
lane_folds now makes distinct folds too.

LOCAL_LOAD and LOCAL_STORE name one of an event's 64 slots, what it holds
(a number, or an index of a list) and that list: slots start at 0 when an
event begins, are shared by its handlers, the walks in them and the folds
in those, and are never saved nor in the states' namespace. A handler uses
a slot for one thing, so its type is verified as a state's is; views have
no locals (IN_LOCALS: a handler's block, a walk in it, a fold in either;
stores only in a handler and its walks). A fold reading a local still runs
a leaf at a time (one value for every item) and a shaped fold takes one
only on its key's side. The signature table's where widens to 16 bits.
locals checks a handler that sums items into a local in a walk, counts in
a fold the items below it, keeps an index in a local and reads it back,
over 80 events against a model, and five refusals. server_rows' shop now
takes stock through an index local and counts in one.

GET /views/name?argument=value gives a view that takes arguments its
arguments: the query as it came is kept on the request's work slot (it
outlives the connection, which may go before the view is shown), and when
the view is shown, on the connection thread from a snapshot or by the
owner, its pairs (values %XX decoded) are laid out as a payload of the
arguments' shape and given before the view is evaluated. from and count
still page a table. An argument missing, unknown, given twice, not of its
type or badly escaped answers 400 invalid. A registered query takes its
view's arguments the same way (GET /queries/name?k=4). An arguments input
is not an input to post to.
server_arguments opens 200 accounts, then asks 83 times against a model:
balances by key (404 no_value for a key not there), counts above an
argument, texts with &, =, % and non-ASCII shown back, a table filtered by
two arguments whose column folds with one, paged, counts by an owner's
name, a registered query with an argument, and six refusals. The format's
document (008) describes arguments.

A rows field's JSON value is an array of objects naming the record's
fields (numbers, strings; a field left out takes its default). The
connection thread encodes them as the list's stored form, which may be
longer than the JSON, grows the request's input by that much
(pure_runtime_grow: charged to the payload budget as admission charges an
input, 503 payload_budget when it does not fit) and places them after the
body, so the owner still applies a message it need not parse. A message
whose only variable field is rows takes a body that is not JSON as those
rows in their stored form: a bulk insert without JSON. An API's answer
(--reply) gives rows the same way. A delivered batch holds no rows.
server_rows loads 30,000 stock rows in one JSON request (some 250,000
rows a second, against 6,500 with a request a row) and 20,000 more as
bytes, refuses a load with a key already there whole (409 exists), then
checks 400 random orders against a model (294 applied, 106 refused with
none of their rows applied), texts with escapes and Korean, a walk that
removes, and a restart that keeps every state and no rows.
The format's document (008) describes walks, rows fields and lists of
rows, and OUTER_ROW.

091 measures four queries on pgbench's tables of 100,000 accounts, the
same rows and answers on Pure (registered queries, HTTP and JSON
included) and SQLite 3.46.1, through each step: items field by field in
leaves, folds and filters a leaf at a time, and one pass answering a fold
in a column for every row. Per-branch totals went from 398 ms to 4.9 ms
(SQLite 45, 14.3 with a DBA's indexes), a three-table join from 3.3 to
0.48 ms (1.47), and each rich account's rank from 9.2 s to 6.8 ms
(2.84 s, 7.6 ms with an index); counting accounts in credit takes 1.05 ms
where an index lets SQLite count 0.16 ms. Pure declares no index.

benchmarks/bank/bank.aup keeps accounts, tellers and branches as keyed
lists and a history list; a transfer changes a row of each and appends a
history row in one event, as pgbench's TPC-B-like transaction does in
SQL. run.py makes a scale's rows and drives transfers through the load
generator's new transfer kind; sqlite-bank.c runs the same tables and
SQL on SQLite 3.46.1, a connection a thread, WAL.
With lists as trees, transfers run at 30.5k a second on 1,000 accounts
and 24.5k on 100,000 (RAM store, one connection thread, HTTP and JSON
included), where they ran at 3.2k on 30,000 before. Durable on the SD
card, Pure makes 1,339 a second and SQLite with synchronous=FULL 84 to
153. SQLite in process with no HTTP makes about 40k in RAM: recorded as
it is, with the write amplification of 100,000-row tables on the card
and ad hoc queries as what comes next.

The roadmap's E2EE messenger made of the runtime's general parts, with
no messenger code in it: sealed, authenticated sessions between nodes
(086, 088), Vega on each node's display as a surface (design 010), the
app in Vega's examples. Vega's check runs two nodes through a recording
relay: a line typed on one display is drawn on the other, frames match
the vega command's, and the relay sees no text.
A line takes 0.79 ms at p50 and 1.1 ms at p99 from one node's program
to the other node's views with stores in RAM, both commits, the HTTP
delivery and the seal included (sealing adds nothing measurable); on the
Pi's SD card 3.5 ms at p50, the long tail being the card's syncs.

pure-serve --surface LIBRARY [-- ARGUMENTS] maps a library and runs its
pure_surface_run in a thread of its own (serve/surface.h). The surface
reads the app as of the last save where it is, a published snapshot in a
reader app, as a connection thread reads views; an eventfd tells it of
each new snapshot; and its events (a key pressed, text typed) are
requests without a host in the owner's queue, applied and saved with the
round, their results handed back to the surface's waiter. So one node
serves programs over HTTP and people on its display with one owner of
its states, and nothing between the states and the screen. pure-serve
exports its pure_* functions for the surface to call, one copy of the
app model in the process; the table carries sizeof(PureApp) and
sizeof(PureModule) so a surface built for another layout refuses.
The check builds a probe surface that types, presses and reads: its
events show in HTTP views, an HTTP input shows in it, wrong inputs are
refused, it stops with the server, and a module without states cannot
have one. Without a surface the request path measured the same (small
GETs 140.9k vs 139.9k, app totals 126.3k vs 126.3k over eight rounds);
the exported symbols cost 11 KB of the file and 24 KiB idle.

A sealed request cost three X25519 operations (about 0.5 ms), so sealed
sends drained at half the plain rate. A wire now keeps one HPKE context,
encapsulated at its first seal, and seals each request as the context's
next number (a failed seal or a restart starts a new session); the
header carries the session's encapsulated key and the number, so a
receiver opens a session once per connection thread (16 remembered, the
least used replaced) and each seal by its number, also after it restarts,
unasked. A sender with a key of its own seals in HPKE auth mode and names
that key in the header; a receiver started with --sender NAME=KEY takes
deliveries only from the senders it names, each sealed with its key
(403 sender otherwise). The body is now the ciphertext and its tag.
Sealed sends, sender authenticated, drain at 461-464k a second against
462-470k plain and 207-234k sealed a request at a time (Raspberry Pi 5).
The check adds: a wire's requests share one session numbered from 0; a
changed number or sender key does not open; a receiver restarted naming
its sender opens the same session again; another node claiming that
sender's name with its own key is refused and applies nothing.

What the app model, snapshot reads and delivery had cost small reads
(126.7k -> 116.1k GETs a second) and idle memory (2.0 -> 4.5 MiB), how
the sampler found it, and the four steps and the crypto split that took
it back: 139.9k and 2.3 MiB. Measured again today beside axum 0.8.9 and
drogon 1.9.0 on the same Pi: a one-thread pure-serve answers small GETs
at 139k/s (2.2x axum and drogon a CPU second), 1 MiB GETs at 2,362/s
(axum 1,304, drogon 754), durable app writes at 21.3k/s (both about
200), with the least idle memory of the three.

Linking OpenSSL cost every pure-serve 2.3 MiB of resident memory, 0.66
MiB of it the process's own (relocated data), though most servers never
reach an https receiver or seal a send. The code that uses OpenSSL (TLS
to https receivers, sealing) is now built as pure-crypto.so beside
pure-serve and exports one table; pure-serve maps it the first time a
wire to an https URL opens or a key is read or a seal wired
(serve/crypto.c), and a missing library is reported at startup. What
needs no OpenSSL, a key's hex and the suite this CPU seals with, stays in
pure-serve.
An idle server: RSS 4,496 -> 2,320 kB, PSS 1,639 -> 881 kB, private
dirty 1,296 -> 864 kB. A static OpenSSL was measured too and is worse
(RSS 3.8 MiB, but 2.3 MiB private: all of its tables relocated). The
checks, https webhooks and sealed sends included, pass unchanged.

--seal OUTPUT=KEY seals each request's body whole to the receiving node's
public key with HPKE (RFC 9180, base mode: X25519, HKDF-SHA256, AES-128-GCM
where the CPU has AES, else ChaCha20-Poly1305), bound to the request's
source, first number and count; X-Pure-Seal names the suite. A receiver's
--key is a raw 32-byte file, made 0600 when missing, held in OpenSSL's
secure heap; it opens the body where it lies (400 seal when it does not
open) and zeroes the plain text when the request's ticket goes.
--sealed-only refuses unsealed deliveries (403 unsealed).
The check puts a recording relay between two apps: every order applies
once, no body shows an item or a field name, a flipped bit is refused, a
replayed request applies nothing twice, and a seal to another key does not
open. Its hosts choose their own ports (--port 0). Sealed sends drain at
233-235k a second against 469-470k plain (Raspberry Pi 5): three X25519
operations a request, 164 us each. The plain request path measured the
same as before.

Commits grew the tree store's tail 256 KiB at a time, each growth a sync
that also committed the ext4 journal for the new size and blocks. A file
installed by compaction now carries written zeros up to where the next
compaction will come (4 x live + slack, plus a commit's margin), capped at
the size of the file it replaces, so a store never takes more space than
before and shrinks when its live data does. The cycle's commits then only
overwrite blocks the file has.
Store commits: 317.5 -> 385.5 a second, ext4 journal commits 109 -> 45 for
4,000 commits; durable app posts +5.3%, their p99 the same within this SD
card's noise. The new cycles test keeps sizes still between compactions
once the live data is whole, and shows the file shrinking with it.

Nothing a thread can give: with writes saturated the device's one line of
syncs is the bottleneck, so zeroing the tail or compacting on another
thread only queues that device work behind the commits, and the owner's
idle gap is shorter than one journal commit. Built without compaction the
store is no faster; without compaction and without tail growth durable
posts gain 1.4% and the p99 drops 24% (17.4 to 13.3 ms). New blocks are the
tail latency, so the way to it is a store that rewrites its space in place,
a ring cleaned forward instead of compacted into new files.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
It would not, on this device. One file's syncs or four at once, the SD card
completes the same 510-690 commits per second, the latency growing with the
number of files. The scoreboard app with two owners, each with a store of
its own, took 23% fewer durable posts than one owner (median 16,230 against
20,974 a second) with 2-3x the p99: syncs queue, and each carries half the
events. One owner's group commit stays; cores serve reads, and writes grow
by making the sync itself cheaper.

in aup's tests, so a change to the host was verified from the toolchain.
They now live in tests/check.py; make check builds their apps with the
sibling aup and runs them after the unit tests, which stay beside their
parts. Design 009 states the rule for all three repositories.

The benchmark runs an earlier pure-serve build in turn with the current one
(--baseline). Against the build before the move, linking through libpure.a
costs nothing: a one-command build with the library's object order has the
same size and the same CPU per request. What moved was code placement, so
the runtime links last again, as it did; the two orders now differ by less
than rounds of one build do (total -0.4%, page +1.2%, mixed -0.1%). The
binary is 5,008 B smaller: unused flow.c functions stay in the library, and
the linker's A53 erratum padding is gone.

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.

After each save the owner walked the whole outbox to find the sends
not yet queued, so a receiver long down made every save walk the
backlog. pure_app_outbox_newest visits saved sends newest first, and
the owner stops once every wired output reaches the number it queued
last, then queues what it found in order.

The final answer to each send of a wired output (a 2xx, or a 4xx but
408 and 429) becomes a message event of the given input: fields from
the answer's JSON object by name, other members skipped; a field the
answer lacks from the send's field of that name and type, so the
request's own id is there; a u32 http_status field is the status. It is
applied with the send's number from the wire's source, before the send
is trimmed and in the same save, so an answer that comes again after a
restart (the API repeating itself for the Idempotency-Key) applies once.
Sends that wait for answers go one per request; answers are saved with
the next round, or at once when none waits.
A server that writes an answer in pieces holds the second until the
first is acknowledged, and a delayed acknowledgement stalled every
answer 40 ms: the client now acknowledges at once (TCP_QUICKACK) after
each read. Against a payments API that answers 200 or 402, with the
sender killed (-9) midway, paid and declined orders matched the API's
answers one to one.

A wire to an https:// URL speaks TLS 1.2 or later through OpenSSL: the
receiver's certificate must chain to the system's CAs (or to the file
--send-ca names) and name its host (SNI and SSL_set1_host, or the IP
address). An untrusted receiver gets nothing: the send stays in the
outbox, the wire logs it and tries again every 10 s. pure-serve now
links libssl and libcrypto.

pure-serve --send OUTPUT=http://host:port/path wires an output: after
every save the owner queues the new sends as JSON (fields and groups)
and a thread per output posts them in order with X-Pure-Source,
X-Pure-Sequence and Idempotency-Key. A 2xx, or a Pure receiver's
refusal, delivers; the owner then trims. 408, 429, 5xx and no answer
are sent again after a pause growing to 10 s, other answers every 10 s:
nothing is dropped. A Pure receiver applies a delivered message with
pure_app_deliver (now taking placed fields) and advertises
X-Pure-Batch: 256; the sender then posts up to that many numbers in a
row as one JSON array (X-Pure-Count), applied in order in one burst
with one save.
Delivery kept up with orders once batched (391 deliveries/s one at a
time; a backlog of 20,000 went at 60k/s). With four clients ordering,
killing the receiver and then the sender (-9) left the receiver's count
and total equal to what the sender saved, five times and under ASan.

An output (input kind 5) is a message the app sends; SEND (72) takes
an output's field values in order in a handler, lays them out as a
message's payload and keeps it, numbered per output from 1, with the
event's changes: a failed event sent nothing, and a failed save takes
back every send since the last save with its numbers. A host sees only
saved sends (pure_app_outbox) and trims what its receiver has saved
(pure_app_trim, gone with the next save). pure_app_deliver applies a
message from a named source once: a number heard before succeeds
without applying, a refused message counts as heard, a failed save
forgets what it heard.
Sends, numbers and heard numbers are the app's links state, stored
whole in one runtime document (PLK1) with the states, in the same
commit. Outputs follow their names across module changes; a module
that drops or retypes an output with sends left is refused, and a
dropped output's number is kept for when it returns. Killing the
process at every commit stage leaves an event and its send, or a
delivery and its effect, together or neither. pure-serve answers a
post to an output or a timer with 404 no_input.

One connection thread for each CPU the process may run on (its
affinity, or the online CPUs), less the one the owner of an app with
states takes: three CPUs give two connection threads and the owner.
The default stays one thread.

After a round that saved, the owner waited for 100 us without a new
request (1 ms at most) before the next round. Requests that queued up
during the save made that quiet start at once, so the clients just
answered missed the next round; the clients then settled into two
halves taking turns, each save carrying half of them. It showed with
two connection threads: 34 events a round and 15.8-16.0k posts/s with
64 connections, against about 61 and 22-24k/s with one or three. The
quiet now counts only once a request has come after the answers were
handed back: two threads carry 61.6 events a round, 22.9-23.9k/s.

Measured with a build that grows its tail by 64 MiB once and never
compacts: durable posts +5-8% (64 connections), p99 about halved; the
slow syncs that remain come from the device.

pure-serve no longer copies a JSON body's strings into the message's
payload. The ingress is the prefix, a table of each field's start and
size, and the body as it came; the connection thread scans the body
once, puts numbers into the prefix and records where each string is.
Only a string with escapes is unescaped, over itself (it never grows).
A group of fields comes as an object inside the body and, for a fixed
field, as its path in the query (?to.zip=7). A group where a field
belongs, a value where a group does, an array or true/false/null is
json_type; an unknown member, inside a group too, json_field.
The string scan and UTF-8 checks now pass over eight bytes at a time
while none needs a look (pure_utf8_step, so every text check gains).
On the Pi, posting {"name":"k","text":"x..."} to a stateless app went
from 652-655 to 3,737-3,953 requests/s with 256 KiB of text (server
CPU 1.52 to 0.25 ms a request, peak RSS 5.2 to 3.2-3.4 MiB) and from
29.1k to 76.3-76.7k/s with 4 KiB; the load generator gains a json
method and benchmarks/http/echo.aup is the app.

A message field's name may now be a path of identifiers joined by dots
(user.name, a field inside the group user); a module that names both a
field and a group (user and user.name) is refused, as are empty,
leading, trailing or digit-first segments. A module may have 64
message fields instead of 32 (PureModule 11.9 to 13.2 KiB).
pure_app_message_fields takes each variable field's start and size in
the payload, so a host that parsed a request in place passes the
fields' bytes where they are instead of laying them out after the
prefix. The runtime checks them as before: a field past the payload
fails with limit, a text that is not UTF-8 with encoding.

A tree store commit wrote its bytes over the written zeros of the tail
and its head into a slot at the start of the file: two ranges, and on
the Pi's SD card a sync of two ranges costs about twice one (2.4 ms
against 1.2 ms). A commit now writes a 128-byte record (its head) at
the published end and its bytes right after it, then syncs once. Every
16 commits the head also goes into the older slot. The newest commit
is found from the newer slot's head, or from the newest head this
process has seen in the file while its record is still there, along
the records whose bytes are whole; a torn record or bytes end the walk
at the commit before, which the next writer overwrites. Slots of this
format are PURETRE3; files of the earlier one are read and continued.
Store commits went from 220-233/s to 371-396/s (p50 2.5 to 1.3 ms),
and the scoreboard's durable posts from 13-16k/s to 21-26k/s with 64
connections and from 2.2-2.4k/s to 2.9-3.9k/s with 8, measured
alternately with the previous build. The torn head check now tears a
slot (the walk goes on from the other) and the newest record (a new
process sees the commit before); a new check walks 42 commits from the
slots, in a fresh process too, and stops at a damaged record.

The owner publishes a snapshot of the saved states after every save,
before it hands back the answers; connection threads take the newest
one each round and show views from it with a reader app of their own.
A read made after a write's answer sees the write, nothing unsaved or
undone is ever shown, and reads no longer wait while the owner applies
events or syncs. Apps with states always get an owner thread, even
with one connection thread. A round's inputs go to the owner first;
its views are shown and then answered together (answering each one as
it was shown made one thread's 20-row page 8% slower).
On the Pi 5, with 8 connections posting durable scores and 56 reading
the total, reads went from 10-16k/s at p99 13-29 ms to 107-149k/s at
p99 0.6-0.7 ms, and posts stayed in range; axum and drogon, which sync
under their lock, read 1.1-1.3k/s at p99 111-156 ms. A snapshot of a
changed 1,024-item list costs 1.2 us (65,536 items: 87 us) against a
3-4 ms save.

Right after a save, pure_app_snapshot makes a read-only snapshot of the
saved states: numbers are copied, text states are frozen drafts that
share the store mapping (pure_draft_freeze, no copy), and lists are
copies of their item pointers that share the items. An unchanged list
shares the last snapshot's copy. pure_app_read binds a reader app on
another thread to a snapshot so the existing view functions read it.
A shared item never changes again: a list stamps each item with its
share count, copies a shared item it changes, and retires shared items
it lets go instead of freeing them. Snapshots form a chain that goes
oldest first, and items retired while a snapshot was the newest go
with it. References are atomic and may be released on any thread.
test-module checks that each snapshot equals the app, that kept
snapshots stay as made through changes, removals, a module switch, the
app stopping and the store closing, that a failed save's snapshot
equals the one before, and that two threads read the newest snapshots
while the app goes on (also under ASan, UBSan and LeakSanitizer).
