Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

P2 Badge Avoid eager payload stringify on hot event path

This Tracef call eagerly evaluates string(evt.GetData()) for every non-SecInfo event, even when trace logging is disabled, because function arguments are computed before Tracef checks log level. On high event-rate workloads this adds avoidable allocation/CPU overhead in DispatchEvent; gate this behind a trace-level check (or use a lazy trace helper) so payload formatting only happens when the message will actually be logged.

The expected merge time in main is approximately 2h (p90).

2026-04-07 15:36:46 UTCMergeQueue: The build pipeline contains failing jobs for this merge request

Build pipeline has failing jobs for 8528c72:

⚠️ Do NOT retry failed jobs directly (why?).

What to do next?

  • Investigate the failures and when ready, re-add your pull request to the queue!
  • If your PR checks are green, try to rebase/merge. It might be because the CI run is a bit old.
  • Any question, go check the FAQ.
Details

Since those jobs are not marked as being allowed to fail, the pipeline will most likely fail.
Therefore, and to allow other builds to be processed, this merge request has been rejected and the pipeline got canceled.
