Closes #967.

What

Release images are now profile-guided-optimized, fail-closed, with all training assets version-controlled. Gateway sources are unchanged: the shipped binary differs only by compiler optimization decisions over the same code and lockfile.

Three-phase build inside the Dockerfile builder stage, behind build-arg PGO (default on):

  1. Instrumented build-Cprofile-generate, own target dir.
  2. Trainingbench/pgo-training/train.sh boots the instrumented gateway (standalone file mode, no etcd) once per shape and drives the committed 12-shape matrix through it via the new std-only pgo-trainer (mock upstream + deterministic driver in one dependency-free binary). Profraws are merged with the llvm-profdata from the pinned toolchain's llvm-tools-preview component — exact LLVM match with rustc, zero new toolchain dependencies.
  3. Optimized build-Cprofile-use against a content-addressed merged-<sha>.profdata (cargo fingerprints the profile PATH, not its content — a fixed path would silently reuse stale artifacts from the persistent target cache mount), own target dir.

Fail-closed (#967 hard gate 2): any phase failing fails the image build; nothing is pushed. The pgo-verified.json proof marker (shape list, profraw count, profile bytes/sha) is written only after phase 3 succeeds, ships in the image, and is asserted by the workflow on every PGO build before signing. PGO=off produces no marker, so an off leak into a push build fails the assertion; a forgotten build-arg ships PGO'd, never silently un-optimized.

Training matrix (12 shapes)

3 dialects (/v1/chat/completions, /v1/messages, /v1/responses) × streaming and non-streaming, ~4 KB mid-size body, inline rate-limit posture (quota gate), native anthropic passthrough (2 shapes — production /v1/messages traffic on anthropic upstreams takes the verbatim path, not the bridge), routing-kind dispatch, and embeddings. The chat shape is byte-identical to the public benchmark board's default workload (bench/onthebench/lib.sh). Streaming shapes emit 48 SSE frames over chunked transfer, frame by frame, so the relay loop trains on incremental reads. Error paths are deliberately untrained (cold in production; PGO treating them as cold is correct). Maintenance rule: the matrix mirrors the bench suites — a new hot path adds a shape in the same PR.

Upstream TLS is the one known untrained hot path (plaintext mock); deferred with rig-measurability prerequisites to #973.

Measurements (local x86 probe harness, anchored A/B)

Re-anchored post-#970 baseline; anchor drift −0.12%, fail=0 on every leg, floor headroom 12.5×.

leg baseline PGO delta
board workload (86 B chat, c=128) 28,800 rps 36,244 rps +25.85% (accept line +20%)
holdout: untrained 32 KiB body 17,724 rps 20,763 rps +17.14% (one-sided no-regression gate — untrained scenario benefits from the generic hot path, confirming profile transfer)

Screening (#967) measured +31.5% with single-endpoint training; the ~5.6 pt difference is the measured dilution cost of the 12-shape coverage.

CI / workflow changes

  • timeout-minutes 45 → 120 (two fat-LTO compiles + a training run).
  • PR smoke builds pass PGO=off (one compile, unchanged latency) — except PRs touching Dockerfile, bench/pgo-training/**, or the workflow itself, which run the full PGO=on three-phase build pre-merge (this PR exercises it).
  • Proof-marker assertion on every PGO build (pushed digest or PR-loaded image).
  • The Establish the on-CPU profiling workflow: adopt cargo-flamegraph and add a dedicated profiling build profile #847 symbol-table/.eh_frame/jemalloc gate now also runs on tag builds, proving the PGO'd shipped binary keeps the profiling contract (verified locally: 36,016 text symbols, jemalloc symbols present, .symtab/.eh_frame intact).

Ecosystem survey (per repo research rule)

Of the mainstream AI gateways surveyed for release-artifact optimization, one ships mandatory fail-closed PGO for its host-native release targets — three-phase build, positive proof marker, marker-gated publish workflows — which is the pattern adopted here; the others ship plain release builds, and none ship post-link binary layout optimization (evaluated and rejected for now in #967: +3.9% did not justify an external toolchain inside a fail-closed release path). Divergence from the surveyed pattern: our build runs inside the Dockerfile rather than the release workflow, so third-party docker build from source also produces a PGO'd image; only bare cargo build --release source builds remain un-optimized, consistent with how major compilers/runtimes ship PGO'd official binaries of open source. Upstream spec: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/profile-guided-optimization.html

Verification

  • Functional smoke: 12/12 shapes × 40 requests against a debug gateway, all 200s, clean SIGTERM exit.
  • Native three-phase drill: 12 × 3,000 requests, 12 profraws (~15.8 MB each), 25.3 MB merged profile, manifest correct.
  • Full docker build with BuildKit: passes; in-image marker assertion, --version, and symbol gates verified on the extracted binary.
  • Probe measurements above; leg quality gates (identity preflight, fail=0, headroom, drift) all green.

Riders / follow-ups

Residual risk: two fat-LTO target dirs roughly double builder disk usage on the runner; this PR's own PGO=on CI run is the direct probe — if ENOSPC appears, an inter-phase cleanup is the fix.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Docker images now support profile-guided optimization (PGO) for improved runtime performance.
    • Builds automatically train, apply, and validate optimization profiles across representative workloads and request patterns.
    • PGO training supports streaming and API-compatible gateway workloads.
  • Bug Fixes

    • PGO failures now stop image creation, preventing incomplete optimized releases.
    • Release builds include expanded image, profile, and symbol validation checks.
  • Documentation

    • Added release guidance for PGO-enabled builds, verification, troubleshooting, and cleanup.

Three-phase build inside the Dockerfile builder stage, default-on:
instrumented build -> committed 12-shape training run against a local
mock -> profile-merged optimized build. Any phase failing fails the
image build; pushed images carry a pgo-verified.json proof marker the
workflow asserts before signing. PR smoke builds pass PGO=off unless
they touch the pipeline or the training assets.

- bench/pgo-training: std-only trainer (mock upstream + deterministic
  driver in one binary; 12 shapes covering 3 dialects x streaming and
  non-streaming, mid-size body, inline rate-limit posture, native
  anthropic passthrough, routing-kind dispatch, embeddings; the chat
  shape is byte-identical to the public benchmark board's default
  workload) plus train.sh: one gateway lifetime per shape, profraw
  count/size floors, llvm-profdata merge from the pinned toolchain's
  llvm-tools-preview, content-addressed merged profile, manifest
- Dockerfile: PGO build-arg (default on), separate target dirs per
  phase so profile builds never share cargo fingerprints with plain
  builds, marker installed into the runtime stage
- docker-image.yml: timeout 45 -> 120, PGO=off on PR smoke builds with
  a path-filtered PGO=on exercise, proof-marker assertion on every
  PGO build, #847 symbol gate extended to tag builds
- RELEASING.md: fail-closed semantics and marker inspection command

Measured on the local x86 probe harness against a re-anchored
post-#970 baseline (anchor drift -0.12%, fail=0, floor headroom 12.5x):
+25.85% rps on the board workload (accept line +20%), +17.14% on the
untrained 32 KiB holdout (one-sided no-regression gate). Gateway
sources are unchanged: the shipped binary differs only by compiler
optimization decisions over the same code and lockfile.

The change adds a standalone PGO training tool, automated profile generation, profile-guided Docker builds, proof-marker verification, release-image symbol checks, and fail-closed release documentation.

Changes

PGO training and release pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Training matrix and HTTP engine
bench/pgo-training/trainer/Cargo.toml, bench/pgo-training/trainer/src/main.rs
The trainer defines deterministic request shapes, drives concurrent gateway traffic, parses HTTP responses, and serves mock OpenAI, Responses, Anthropic, and embeddings responses.
Profile generation and manifest
bench/pgo-training/train.sh
The script configures isolated gateway runs, executes each training shape, validates raw profiles, merges them with the pinned toolchain, and writes profile metadata.
Docker PGO build integration
Dockerfile, Cargo.toml, .gitignore, .dockerignore
The builder supports instrumented compilation, training, profile-guided compilation, and the locked release build when PGO=off. The runtime image includes the verification marker when PGO succeeds.
CI and release verification
.github/workflows/docker-image.yml, RELEASING.md
The workflow selects PGO modes, verifies profile counts and sizes, checks release-image symbols, and documents fail-closed publishing requirements.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 0b4c7

The release build now fails closed and verifies its optimization proof, but an interrupted training run can leave a process running and pollute a subsequent profile collection, causing unreliable CI builds. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to harden training cleanup.

Add an EXIT trap so an interrupted run does not leak the instrumented gateway.

The trainer-failure path kills the gateway. An interrupt (Ctrl-C, CI timeout) or an unexpected set -e exit between line 132 and line 145 does not. The orphaned instrumented gateway keeps GW_PORT bound and keeps writing profraws, so the next run fails on bind or merges foreign counters.

Then clear GW_PID after the successful wait at line 146 so the trap stays a no-op between shapes.

Verify the toolchain pin and the root workspace exclusion.

Two contracts are not provable from this file:

  1. rust-version = "1.93" must be less than or equal to the toolchain that the release image installs. If the pinned toolchain is older, the trainer build fails and the fail-closed pipeline aborts every image build.
  2. The empty [workspace] table makes this manifest a workspace root. If the repository root workspace members glob matches bench/*, cargo rejects the nested workspace root unless the root manifest lists this path in exclude.

Confirm the gateway always sends content-length upstream, never chunked bodies.

read_mock_request reads the body only when content-length is present. It ignores transfer-encoding: chunked. If the gateway forwards a chunked request body, the mock reads content_length = 0, then parses the first chunk-size line as the next request line, answers 404, and the shape fails. Training is fail-closed, so the image build aborts.

Run the following script to check the upstream request framing:

Verify every generated config field against the gateway config model.

These two heredocs form a contract with the gateway configuration deserializer. If one field name, nesting level, or enum value differs, the instrumented gateway exits at startup and the fail-closed build aborts. The fields to confirm are resources_file, proxy.addr, admin.enabled, observability.metrics.prometheus.addr, provider_keys[].adapter, models[].provider_key, models[].rate_limit.rpm/tpm, models[].routing.targets[].model, and api_keys[].key_env.

Also confirm that provider_key: pgo-openai resolves by display_name, and that models[].routing with no provider is valid.

Run the following script to compare the generated keys with the config model and the canonical schema:

Independent audit — findings and dispositions

A cold independent audit of this PR (per the repo merge-gate rule) returned 0 HIGH, 3 MEDIUM, 7 LOW. Dispositions:

Fixed in 7a14fe2:

  • MEDIUM-1 — the marker assertion shared its trigger with the signal it guards: push builds now assert unconditionally (if: github.event_name != 'pull_request' || pgomode == 'on'), so a future pgomode bug cannot skip the PGO build and its guard together.
  • LOW-1.dockerignore added to the pgomode path filter (it shapes the PGO build context).
  • LOW-2 — 120s SIGKILL watchdog bounds a hung gateway shutdown in train.sh instead of burning the job timeout.
  • LOW-3 — metadata tags / build digest reach the new workflow steps via env: instead of direct ${{ }} interpolation in scripts.
  • LOW-4 — native-drill target dirs excluded from the Docker build context.
  • LOW-5PGO=off quick-local-build documented in the Dockerfile header.
  • LOW-7 — RELEASING.md notes the BuildKit cache-mount growth (docker builder prune).

Explicitly justified, not changed:

  • MEDIUM-2 (push happens before the marker/version/symbol gates; a failing gate on a tag build leaves rolling tags on the bad digest until re-run): this is structurally identical to the pre-existing version-verify gate the repo already ships and accepts; a failed workflow blocks cosign signing, so signature-verifying consumers reject the digest; and the failure requires a bug that survived the pre-merge PGO=on exercise. Restructuring into build+load → assert → re-push is noted as the upgrade path if this ever bites.
  • LOW-6 (trainer escapes root cargo fmt/clippy because it is workspace-excluded): accepted — it is a build-phase tool whose real gate is being compiled and executed by every PGO=on build; wiring a second lint target for a dependency-free binary adds CI surface for no product risk.

Merge precondition (MEDIUM-3): the audit correctly notes the residual-risk claims (runner disk, 120-minute budget) are only discharged by this PR's own PGO=on CI run completing green with the marker, smoke, and symbol steps actually executed. That run is in flight on the current head; merge waits for it.

There are two merge blockers in the release gate:

  1. [P1] The PGO proof gate runs after the public image tags are pushed. For non-PR events, docker/build-push-action publishes the GHCR and Docker Hub tags before Assert PGO proof marker runs. If PGO=off leaks through, the marker is missing or invalid, or the job is cancelled after the push, the workflow fails but the version, rolling, dev, and SHA tags already point to the unverified digest. Skipping cosign does not retract an image that non-verifying clients can pull. Please verify the local/OCI or staging artifact first and then promote the same verified digest to the public tags, or make an independent require-PGO assertion fail inside the Docker target before export or push.

  2. [P2] The PR PGO selector can fail open. It does not include rust-toolchain.toml, even though that file selects llvm-tools-preview and therefore the llvm-profdata used by training. Also, git diff --name-only ... | grep -qE ... is used in an if without independently checking the git diff exit status, so a diff failure silently leaves mode=off and skips the marker step on the PR. Please include all direct PGO inputs, at minimum rust-toolchain.toml, and capture and validate the diff before matching it. Classification failures should default to PGO on, not off.

…alues

Per review: Cargo.toml (carries [profile.release]), Cargo.lock, and
rust-toolchain.toml are PGO build inputs, so PRs touching them now run
the full PGO=on exercise pre-merge; the Dockerfile rejects any PGO
value other than on/off instead of silently producing an unmarked
plain build.

Re-review of 5c2f9246e092e920b79f955e875da56ca9794297:

The previous public-tag/marker-order concern is resolved as a merge blocker. The Docker build now rejects every PGO value except explicit on/off, and the PGO=on path validates the shape count, profraw count, profile size, phase-C build, and marker copy before BuildKit can export or push the image. The outer marker check remains useful defense in depth. The root Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, and rust-toolchain.toml inputs are also now covered.

One blocker remains:

[P2] Make the PR PGO classifier fail closed when git diff fails.

The PR path first sets mode=off, then evaluates git diff --name-only "$BASE_SHA" HEAD | grep ... directly as an if condition. If git diff fails, the condition is false and the script continues to emit value=off; set -e does not stop a command used as an if condition. This can silently skip the three-phase PGO exercise for a PR whose changed-file classification could not be trusted.

Please run git diff --name-only as a separate checked command, store its output, and only then match the file list. A classification error should terminate the job or retain mode=on; it must not produce off. Capturing the output first is preferable to merely adding pipefail, because grep -q can close the pipe early.

Capture git diff --name-only as a checked assignment before matching:
inside an if condition a git failure is exempt from set -e and would
silently leave mode=off, skipping the three-phase PGO exercise for a
PR whose changed-file classification could not be trusted. As an
assignment the failure kills the step. Matching captured text also
avoids grep -q closing the pipe under git.

Re the remaining [P2] (fail-open PR classifier): adopted in 0b4c79f. The diff is now captured as a checked assignment — a git failure kills the step (set -e applies to the assignment, unlike an if-condition), so a classification error terminates the job instead of emitting mode=off. Matching the captured text also sidesteps grep -q closing the pipe under git (SIGPIPE), per the review's note on why capture-first beats pipefail.
