The ~36 independent synthesis passes (callback/event/framework wiring) ran
sequentially on the indexer's main thread — 2.0s of a 4,402-file Java repo's
index, and the stage where kernel-class repos die (#1212). They now live in
an explicit registry (SYNTH_PASSES) and, when the resolver pool is alive
(>=150k-ref repos), fan out across its read-only workers: dubbo synthesis
2,024ms -> ~900ms (-55%), total fresh init 13.5s -> 11.9s. Graphs verified
byte-for-byte identical on both the pool path (dubbo) and the sequential
path (excalidraw).
Why this is safe: no pass's edges persist until the ordered merge, so every
pass sees the same committed post-resolution DB state in either mode, and
results merge in registry order regardless of completion order — the
first-seen dedup is unchanged. The pool now survives through synthesis
(destroy moved after it) instead of being torn down moments before the one
stage that could reuse it.
Robustness: a pass that fails on a worker (crash, OOM) is retried on the
main thread — a synthesizer blow-up now costs one worker instead of the
whole index, which is half the #1212 story on very large repos.
Also: ref-row cleanup deletes now run as one transaction with a cached
statement instead of one implicit commit per 500-row chunk (mechanically
fewer WAL commits; matters most on HDD-class storage). A set-based rewrite
of failed-ref parking was tried, measured ~zero on NVMe, and dropped — the
remaining persist cost is edge-index B-tree maintenance, not statement
dispatch.
SYNTH_PROGRESS_STEPS now derives from the registry (passes + fixed marks);
the pin test counts registry entries plus literal __mark sites.
Suite green (2444). Sequential-path timing unchanged on excalidraw.
