But Performance Tests

but CLI performance tests

Read performance framework documentation completely before answering questions or changing performance scenarios. Inspect nearby scenarios and current shared helpers as applicable; README is canonical source for framework behavior, commands, helper APIs, and debugging options.

Workflow for changes

1. Confirm requested operation and timing boundary.
2. Inspect closest existing scenarios plus lib.sh and run.sh.
3. Add or update only scenario's setup.sh and test.sh unless shared behavior is genuinely required.
4. Prefer real, representative GitButler repository state over toy data.
5. Keep setup, validation, and ID discovery outside timed operation.
6. Reuse documented helpers instead of creating parallel fixture, state, output, or timing mechanisms.
7. List every scenario in top-level performance README's included-scenario list, and update its entry when materially changing scenario.
8. Run README's shell validation and short single-scenario benchmark.

For usage or debugging questions, answer from current README and scripts. Do not edit files unless user asks for changes.

Guardrails

• Keep changes inside crates/but/tests/performance/ unless task specifically requests related documentation or skill updates.
• Preserve two-file scenario contract.
• Do not add custom timing/statistics code; Hyperfine owns measurement.
• Do not include fixture setup or compilation in measured command.
• Do not run all scenarios when user requests or changes only one.
• Report fixture/setup limitations and unavailable validation explicitly.
