pnpm verifies a lockfile against the registry before installing it — the supply-chain half of its minimumReleaseAge policy. None of npm, Yarn or Bun does anything of the sort, so every row with an up-to-date lockfile was timing pnpm doing work no other column had been asked for.

What it costs

Measured under the benchmark's own link — pnpr behind 50 ms at 200 Mbit/s, fixture with a current lockfile:

time requests
pnpm 12, default 5530ms 2504
pnpm 12, trustLockfile 3887ms 1346
pnpm 11, default 5231ms 2408
pnpm 11, trustLockfile 4132ms 1293

A packument per package: 1158 requests on top of the 1346 tarball fetches this fixture needs, worth 0.8–1.6 s depending on how warm the server is.

The change

All three pnpm columns install with trustLockfile, and the rows say trusted lockfile instead of lockfile so the page states what was measured. pnpm 11 honors the setting too, so the version-comparison chart stays a comparison.

minimumReleaseAge itself stays at pnpm's default. The hold shapes what resolution costs, which is what the rows without a lockfile measure, and the client still sends it with its resolve request so both pnpm columns install the same graph.

What it costs the pnpr column

This is the same ~800 ms that separated the two pnpm 12 columns on the lockfile rows — and it was never resolution. pnpr answers the verification pass in a single /-/pnpr/v0/verify-lockfile request where the client spends a round trip per package. So the accelerated column gives up those rows.

That is the trade, made knowingly, and it buys back something: with nothing left to verify, the two pnpm 12 columns finally do measure the same install there — which is what the page has always claimed of them and was not true. pnpr keeps clean (3.5 s vs 5.1 s), cache (758 ms vs 1130 ms) and update (1126 ms vs 3130 ms), where the offload is resolution and this setting changes nothing.

Results

The pnpm columns' recorded samples are deleted, following b0b3f1e — they were measured with the pass on, and min() must not pool the two. That includes the samples from the run that landed after this branch was opened. The other columns are unaffected by the setting and keep theirs, so for a couple of weeks the pnpm columns are a min-of-3 against everyone else's min-of-12; the spread between samples runs about 2%, so that costs pnpm slightly rather than flattering it.

benchmarks.md and the charts are deliberately untouched: they are only rewritten by a run, so the new labels and the new numbers arrive together at the next weekly benchmark rather than the page carrying "trusted lockfile" over numbers measured with verification on.

One footnote: pnpm run regenerate-svgs between now and that run would draw charts without the pnpm bars, since it skips columns with no results. It already guards for that (no crash), but it is worth not running until CI has measured.

Verification

  • Both settings measured end to end against a real pnpr behind the real latency proxy, three runs each, request counts read from pnpr's own log.
  • pnpm 11 confirmed to honor trustLockfile from pnpm-workspace.yaml (2408 → 1293 requests).
  • Checked the longer chart label fits the left gutter: "trusted lockfile" lands at x=9.2 in a viewBox starting at 0, marginally wider than the existing "node_modules" at x=11.5. No layout change needed.
  • pnpm test passes; a reporting run now correctly refuses rather than drawing the page from the retired samples.

Rebased onto main, so the review comments on mergeResults.js no longer apply to this diff — they were fixed in #62.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The benchmark fixture now enables trustLockfile: true. Benchmark descriptions and generated tables use “trusted lockfile” terminology. Setup documentation describes disabled lockfile verification, release-age policy, and pnpm handling. Several stored benchmark result files were removed.

Changes

Trusted lockfile benchmark flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Trusted lockfile setup
benchmarkFixture.js
The generated pnpm workspace configuration now sets trustLockfile: true. Documentation covers minimumReleaseAge and lockfile verification.
Benchmark terminology and reporting text
index.js, regenerate-svgs.mjs, results/...
Scenario descriptions, setup text, SVG labels, and generated table headings use “trusted lockfile”. Setup text states that lockfile verification is disabled for benchmark comparisons while the release-age policy remains active. Stored benchmark result records were removed from the listed YAML files.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 78c49

This change updates benchmark configuration, labels, and retained results to compare trusted-lockfile installs consistently; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Parallelize benchmarks and trust pnpm lockfiles

🐞 Bug fix ✨ Enhancement ⚙️ Configuration changes 🕐 40+ Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Runs three benchmark samples concurrently and merges successful artifacts before publishing.
• Adds report-only rendering from recorded results and version manifests.
• Trusts pnpm lockfiles for comparable installs and discards incompatible historical samples.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Parallelize within one runner
  • ➕ Avoids artifact upload and merge logic
  • ➕ Keeps all samples in one workspace
  • ➖ Concurrent benchmarks would contend for CPU, disk, and network resources
  • ➖ A single runner failure would discard every sample
  • ➖ Provides less wall-clock reduction if measurements must remain isolated
2. Let measurement jobs publish directly
  • ➕ Eliminates the dedicated report job
  • ➕ Avoids explicit artifact fan-in
  • ➖ Concurrent commits would race and create merge conflicts
  • ➖ Partial jobs could publish incomplete pages
  • ➖ Every measurement job would require repository write access

Recommendation: Use the PR's isolated matrix jobs with artifact fan-in and a single report-only publisher. It reduces runtime without introducing benchmark resource contention, centralizes repository writes, preserves successful samples after partial failures, and prevents the reporting phase from silently measuring missing scenarios.

The published timestamp is the reporting time, not the measuring time.

report calls formatNow() in the reporting job. The page and the charts then say "Last benchmarked at" a moment when nothing was measured. The manifest records versions but no timestamp, so the measured time is lost at the job boundary.

Record formattedNow in the manifest during measure, and read it back in report.

Learning: In `index.js`, report-mode validation of `versions.nodeManagers` must iterate over `Object.keys(nodeManagersMap)`. `writeVersionsManifest` builds `nodeManagers` from the same map. If a node-manager version is missing, `readRecordedResults` identifies the tool, but the error occurs after the fixture section is built and does not identify the manifest as the cause.

188-205: Manifest validation covers the fields a reporting run cannot recover.

The loop over Object.keys(nodeManagersMap) matches what writeVersionsManifest writes, so the check and the producer stay in step. Based on learnings: report-mode validation of versions.nodeManagers must iterate over Object.keys(nodeManagersMap) because a missing node-manager version would otherwise surface only after the fixture section is built.

No change required. The benchmark provisions latest-11 (currently pnpm 11.22.0). trustLockfile is supported from pnpm 11.3.0, and true disables lockfile verification.

Comment thread mergeResults.js
Comment thread mergeResults.js
pnpm verifies a lockfile against the registry before installing it — the
supply-chain half of its `minimumReleaseAge` policy. None of npm, Yarn or Bun
does anything of the sort, so every row with an up-to-date lockfile was
timing pnpm doing work no other column had been asked for.

Measured under the benchmark's own link, pnpr behind 50ms at 200 Mbit/s with
a current lockfile: the pass costs 1158 requests on top of the 1346 tarball
fetches this fixture needs — a packument per package — and 0.8s to 1.6s
depending on how warm the server is. pnpm 12 goes 5530ms to 3887ms with it
off, pnpm 11 5231ms to 4132ms.

So all three pnpm columns now install with `trustLockfile`, and the rows say
`trusted lockfile` rather than `lockfile` so the page states what was
measured. `minimumReleaseAge` itself stays at pnpm's default: the hold shapes
what resolution costs, which is what the rows without a lockfile measure, and
the client still sends it with its resolve request so both pnpm columns
install the same graph.

This is the same 0.8s that separated the two pnpm 12 columns on the lockfile
rows, and it was never resolution — pnpr answers the verification pass in one
`/-/pnpr/v0/verify-lockfile` request where the client spends a round trip per
package. The accelerated column gives up those rows, which is the trade being
made knowingly: with nothing left to verify, the two pnpm 12 columns finally
do measure the same install there, which is what the page has always claimed
of them. pnpr keeps `clean`, `cache` and `update`, where the offload is
resolution and this setting changes nothing.

The pnpm columns' recorded samples go with it, as in b0b3f1e — they were
measured with the pass on and `min()` must not pool the two. The other
columns are unaffected by the setting and keep theirs.
