From bb40d589c8e5384c82ee55d305218d398e728fb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Noah Akerityo Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 20:11:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(profiler): capture nested RPC timings and emit valid speedscope MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two real gaps against the issue's requirements: 1. rpcCalls was never populated. The report() code synthesised nested frames from entry.rpcCalls, but nothing ever pushed to that array, so 'nested RPC call timings' was dead code and no flame graph could show where time actually went. Wrap each client's Soroban RPC server on start() and restore it on stop(). Instrumenting the server rather than individual SDK call sites keeps this to one place, so new SDK methods are profiled for free. A per-invocation sink (restored on every exit path, including thrown errors) attributes each RPC to the SDK call that issued it, and prevents concurrent calls from cross-contaminating. RpcCallTiming gains a timestamp so report() can place nested frames at their real offsets rather than distributing them evenly, which made flame graphs misleading about ordering. 2. The speedscope output was missing the 'exporter' field required by the v0.6 schema, so profiles were rejected by speedscope itself. Surfaced by switching the test suite from a hand-rolled validator to real ajv validation against the published schema — the hand-rolled check only asserted the fields it happened to think of.
