## Local file speed after range reads
### `ObjectHeader::parse` back at 8f59b2e's speed (2026-09-27, tank)
The remaining 4% (below) was the call to the version-1 message loop, which
`4313917` kept out of line with `#[inline(never)]`. Found with A/B builds
changing one piece at a time (perf is not available: `perf_event_paranoid`
4): `#[inline]` on `parse_v1_messages` alone brought
`object_header_parse_x401` from about 24.5–24.9 µs to 23.6–24.0 µs against
8f59b2e's 23.6–24.1 µs (short 4-second rounds); no attribute measured like
`#[inline(never)]`;
creating the chunk list only when a continuation is found measured no
faster on top and was not kept.
Same method as below: `8f59b2e` built in its own worktree and target
directory, separate binaries alternating, `taskset -c 5
local_metadata_bench --bench --warm-up-time 3 --measurement-time 10`, every
binary started with the 1-minute load average below 2 (0.19–1.86) and no
`rustc` running. Candidate: `96086ad` (this change). Median (range) of 3
rounds; run 2 also alternated `main` `425585e`.

- `ObjectHeader::parse` is at or below 8f59b2e (−1.0%, −2.6%) and 5.6%
faster than `main` in the same run.
- `btree_v1_walk` (one walk of a 350 ns B-tree) is 3% above 8f59b2e in
both runs, with overlapping ranges, and is the same on `main` (+0.2%
between `main` and this change): not from this change. The walk's code
changed in `e553153` (after a failed child the siblings are only read,
so the error returns after them; the fixture never takes that path, but
the loop carries the extra state); left as is.
- `snod_parse_all` and the facade listing are within noise.

## Unreleased
### `ObjectHeader::parse` back at its pre-M2/M3 speed (2026-09-27)
- Parsing a version-1 object header was 4% slower than before range-read
M2/M3 (`docs/known-issues.md`). The cause was the call to the per-chunk
message loop, kept out of line since the allocation fix; it is inlined
again. `object_header_parse_x401` is now 1.0% and 2.6% below `8f59b2e`
and 5.6% below `main` (tank, idle, separate binaries alternating;
`BENCHMARKS.md`). The chunk queue's checks are unchanged (65,536 chunks,
cycle refusal, file-size budget, one chunk buffer at a time, libhdf5's
order, overlapping chunks allowed).
### Conformance: no our-errors or mismatches left (2026-09-27)
- The last 3 our-errors and 2 mismatches were documented as not ours but
still counted against us. Re-checked with evidence
(`docs/known-issues.md`, "Conformance: the last non-ok files"):
- The 2 mismatches were h5py's big-endian VL bug (elements returned with
the file's bytes under a little-endian dtype). `conformance/ref.py` now
checks the installed h5py has the bug and relabels such elements before
hashing, so their values are compared: `attr_datatypes.hdf5` and
`tcomplex_be.h5` are identical to clawhdf5's and now **ok**.
- The 3 our-errors are objects HDF5 2.0 reads by over-reading memory
(scale-offset codes past a chunk, unfiltered chunks shorter than a
chunk, an N-Bit parameter list one value short). h5py's values for them
change between runs, with `MALLOC_PERTURB_` and with import order, and
h5dump 1.14.6 prints others, so they are not the file's data and
clawhdf5 keeps refusing them. `conformance/ref_bugs.py` repeats that
check in every run, and such a file is the new class **ref-bug** only
while its values keep changing.
- Result (`conformance/run.sh --no-fetch`, tank, 2026-09-27): 602 of 697
ok (baseline 600), 0 our-error, 0 mismatch, 3 ref-bug, 92
h5py-cannot-read, no panic/hang/crash/oom.
### Remote files in the browser: fewer round trips to list a group or open a dataset (2026-09-27)
- **Opening one dataset of a v1 (symbol table) group no longer reads the
whole group.** A name is looked up down the group's B-tree, as
libhdf5's `H5G__stab_lookup` does (binary search on the node keys, names
in the local heap compared bytewise, then one symbol table node); only
when that finds no hard link of that name (a soft link, or a B-tree out
of name order, where libhdf5 would report it missing) is every entry
read, as before. Local files benefit too (a lookup read O(entries)).
In a group holding two entries of one name, the B-tree's is now the one
found, as in libhdf5.
- **`Storage::hint(offset, len)`** (clawhdf5-format): a parser says what
it reads next — a B-tree node's or symbol table node's body, an object
header's first chunk and continuation chunks, the symbol table nodes a
B-tree leaf names, a dense group's name index header and heap blocks,
and in a listing every child's object header. Every backend ignores it
but the browser's restartable reader (`clawhdf5_wasm::lazy`), which
fetches the hinted blocks it lacks together with the blocks a pass
missed, within the call's `maxFetch` budget; a pass that misses
nothing ignores them, so a hint never adds a round trip, and results
never depend on hints.
- The v1 and v2 B-tree walks of a listing descend into every child after
one fails (before, the siblings were only read, so their subtrees came
a pass later), then return the first error: same results and errors.
- Counted on tank, 2026-09-27, with `CLAWHDF5_WASM_LIST_FILE=<file>

lazy listing_cost_of_a_given_file -- --nocapture` on an h5py file like
the reviewer's (3000 datasets of 16384 `f32`, 198 MB, h5py 3.16 /
HDF5 2.0), passes / requests / bytes, before -> after:
| file, block size | `list('/')` | open + read one dataset |
|---|---|---|
| earliest, 1 MiB | 6 / 73 / 192.5 MB -> 4 / 68 / 192.5 MB | 7 / 74 / 193.6 MB -> 6 / 5 / 5.2 MB |

| latest, 1 MiB | 9 / 98 / 196.5 MB -> 5 / 86 / 196.5 MB | 8 / 7 / 6.7 MB -> 7 / 7 / 6.7 MB |

The listing's passes now follow the depth of the group's index (the
chain index levels -> symbol table nodes or heap objects -> child
headers); its bytes are the child headers, which h5py spreads through
the file (at 1 MiB blocks most of it). The whole corpus read lazily
(`CLAWHDF5_WASM_CORPUS`, 656 files, every object listed, described and
read): 27 513 -> 27 496 passes, 3 001 -> 2 962 requests and 194.8 ->
195.3 MB at 64 KiB blocks; 41 342 -> 37 517 passes, 32 578 -> 29 511
requests, 65.4 -> 65.7 MB at 512 B. The Node and Chromium suite
(`examples/wasm-viewer/test/run.sh`) passes unchanged (the 200 MB file
still takes 5 requests, 6 MiB); its corpus comparison fetched 33.54 ->
33.61 MB.
- Tests: the listing budgets (`listing_a_large_group_takes_a_few_passes`,
512-byte blocks) are tightened to the new counts (FileBuilder, 600
children: 5 -> 4 passes; h5py, 2000 children: 8 -> 5 and 11 -> 6); new
`reading_one_dataset_of_a_large_group_fetches_a_few_blocks` (h5py
earliest: 529 requests, 333 kB -> at most 6 requests, 27 kB), v1
lookups against the listing (and with a name moved out of B-tree
order), hints riding only on misses and within the fetch budget.

## Known not-our-bug
## Reference bugs
### Objects h5py reads only through a libhdf5 bug (*ref-bug*)
clawhdf5 refuses these objects; h5py 3.16 / HDF5 2.0 returns values for them. `conformance/ref_bugs.py`
re-reads each with h5py in six fresh processes whose heaps differ (h5py imported before numpy, three
times and twice more with `MALLOC_PERTURB_`, and numpy imported first). Values the file determines
come out the same every time; these do not, so they are memory libhdf5 over-reads, not the file's
data. A file is *ref-bug* only while every one of its differences is such an object confirmed in
the same run; an object that reads the same every time goes back to *our-error*. Reproducer:
`python conformance/ref_bugs.py conformance/.cache/corpus` (prints every read's outcome).

| `cve_hdf5/cvefiles/cve-2025-2308.h5` | `/Scale_offset_long_long_data_le` | 6 | yes | the first chunk records minbits 11: its 12 values need 17 bytes of codes, and the 26-byte chunk holds 5 after its 21-byte header; libhdf5's scale-offset decoder reads past its buffer, and develop refuses the chunk ("Buffer too short") |
| `cve_hdf5/cvefiles/cve-2025-44904.h5` | `/Scale_offset_float_data_le` | 6 | yes | unfiltered chunks stored as 38 and 37 bytes for 48-byte chunks: 1.14/2.0 read the stored bytes into a buffer of that size and use it as the whole chunk (H5D__chunk_lock), so the rest is heap memory; develop refuses them ("incorrect chunk size returned from index for unfiltered chunk") |

### Values corrected for a known h5py bug
- **h5py big-endian variable-length sequences.** h5py returns the elements of a VL sequence
whose base type is big-endian with the file's big-endian bytes but a native (little-endian)
numpy dtype, so the values it reports are byte-swapped garbage; `h5dump` prints the values
clawhdf5 reads. Reproducer: `h5py.vlen_dtype(np.dtype('>f4'))` dataset holding `[1.0, 2.0]`
reads back in h5py as `[4.6e-41, 9.0e-44]`. Affected here: `NCAS-CMS_pyfive/tests/data/attr_datatypes.hdf5`, `hdf5/tools/test/testfiles/tcomplex_be.h5`.
numpy dtype: a `h5py.vlen_dtype(np.dtype('>f4'))` dataset holding `[1.0, 2.0]` reads back as
`[4.6e-41, 9.0e-44]`; `h5dump` prints the file's values. `ref.py` checks that the installed
h5py still does this (by writing and reading exactly that dataset in memory) and, if so,
relabels such elements with the file's byte order before hashing, so the values are still
compared. Corrected objects: `NCAS-CMS_pyfive/tests/data/attr_datatypes.hdf5` `/@vlen_uint64` (same as clawhdf5), `hdf5/tools/test/testfiles/tcomplex_be.h5` `/VariableLengthDatasetFloatComplex` (same as clawhdf5).
## Other comparison rules
- **Non-IEEE floats and partial-precision integers (N-Bit).** libhdf5 converts a float whose
bit layout is not IEEE (e.g. `H5Tset_precision` for the N-Bit filter) or an integer with a
bit offset / reduced precision into the plain numpy type of the same size. The probe

- **Types h5py widens.** Where h5py reads a type into a numpy type of a different size
(FP8 -> float16, bfloat16 -> float32, x87 long double -> float128) the values are not
compared (shape and presence still are): dataset file type size 1 -> numpy float16 (2) (15x), attr file type size 1 -> numpy float16 (2) (15x), dataset file type size 2 -> numpy float32 (4) (2x), dataset file type size 8 -> numpy float128 (16) (1x), dataset file type size 12 -> numpy float128 (16) (1x), attr file type size 2 -> numpy float32 (4) (1x), dataset file type size 2 -> numpy >f4 (4) (1x), attr file type size 2 -> numpy >f4 (4) (1x).
- **Corrupt data HDF5 2.0 reads through a bug.** clawhdf5 refuses these objects; h5py 3.16 /
HDF5 2.0 returns values for them that the file does not hold:

"""ref_bugs.py <corpus_dir>: re-check the objects h5py reads only through a
libhdf5 bug.
For each object of READ_BUGS (below), h5py reads it in several fresh
processes whose heaps differ: h5py imported before numpy (three runs, plus
two with glibc's MALLOC_PERTURB_, which fills newly allocated and freed heap
blocks with a byte pattern) and numpy imported first. Values the file
determines come out the same every time. An object whose values differ
between those runs is read from memory the file does not determine — an
over-read or an uninitialised buffer in libhdf5 — so the values h5py reports
for it are not the file's, and clawhdf5 refusing the object is not a
clawhdf5 error. compare.py classifies a file as `ref-bug` only on objects
confirmed that way in the same run (`$OUT/ref_bugs.json`); an object whose
reading turns out stable stays an our-error.
Run by conformance/run.sh; on its own it is the reproducer (JSON on stdout).

The 32-bit risk below is covered by a Node test that reads data at
3 GiB from a mock server and is refused a 4 GiB file.
- Fewer round trips (2026-09-27, later): the walks descend into every
child after a failure (not only read the siblings), and parsers
call `Storage::hint` for what they read next (node bodies, object
header chunks, a dense group's heap blocks, a listing's child
headers); `LazyStorage` fetches hinted blocks only along with a
pass's real misses and within `maxFetch`, so hints never add a
round trip nor change a result. A v1 group's name is looked up down
its B-tree (`H5G__stab_lookup`), not by listing it. 3000 datasets
list in 4 passes (earliest) and 5 (latest) at 1 MiB blocks, and
opening one of them costs 5 requests, not 74 (CHANGELOG).

(h5py 3.16 / HDF5 2.0.0, h5dump 1.14.6):
- **2 mismatches, h5py's big-endian VL bug:**
`NCAS-CMS_pyfive/tests/data/attr_datatypes.hdf5` `/@vlen_uint64` and
`hdf5/tools/test/testfiles/tcomplex_be.h5`
`/VariableLengthDatasetFloatComplex`. h5py returns the elements with the
file's big-endian bytes under a little-endian dtype (a `vlen('>f4')`
holding `[1.0, 2.0]` reads back as `[4.6e-41, 9.0e-44]`). h5dump 1.14.6
prints `(1, 2), (3, 4, 5), (42)` for `vlen_uint64`, which is what we read;
it cannot print `tcomplex_be.h5` (complex types are HDF5 2.0). The
reference side (`conformance/ref.py`) now checks that the installed h5py
has the bug and relabels such elements with the file's byte order, so the
values are compared rather than excused: both objects are identical to
ours, and both files are now *ok*.
- **3 our-errors, objects HDF5 2.0 reads only by over-reading memory:**
`cve-2025-2308.h5` `/Scale_offset_long_long_data_le` (first chunk records
`minbits` 11; its 12 values need 17 bytes of codes and the 26-byte chunk
holds 5 after its 21-byte header), `cve-2025-44904.h5`
`/Scale_offset_float_data_le` (unfiltered chunks stored as 38 and 37 bytes
for 48-byte chunks; 1.14.6's `H5D__chunk_lock` reads the stored bytes
into a buffer of that size and uses it as the whole chunk) and
`bad_nbit_parms_walk.h5` `/Nbit_int_data_le` (N-Bit parameters
`(7, 0, 40, 1, 4, 0, 20)`: an integer needs 8, and the decoder takes the
bit offset from `cd_values[7]`, past the list). **Could we match
libhdf5?** No: its output is not determined by the file. h5py's values for
the first two change from one run to the next (three plain runs gave three
different results), and all three change with `MALLOC_PERTURB_` or with
whether numpy is imported before h5py (`bad_nbit_parms_walk` then fails
with "filter returned failure during read" or reads all zeros); h5dump
1.14.6 prints yet other values for the over-read parts (`1280, 0, 0` where
h5py gave e.g. `1283, 749, 1713`). libhdf5's develop branch refuses all
three. We keep
refusing them. `conformance/ref_bugs.py` repeats the check in every
conformance run (six reads per object in differently set-up processes) and
such a file is classified *ref-bug* only while its values keep changing.
Result (`conformance/run.sh --no-fetch`, tank, 2026-09-27): 602 of 697 ok
(was 600), 0 our-error, 0 mismatch, 3 ref-bug, 92 h5py-cannot-read.

4 and 5 passes (5 and 6 at 64 KiB, from 8 and 11): the index walks go
on past a missing node, and parsers hint what they read next
(`Storage::hint`: node bodies, the heap's blocks, each child's
header), which the lazy reader fetches with a pass's misses. That is
the depth of the chain (index levels, then symbol table nodes or
heap objects, then headers) plus the pass that finishes; it cannot
go lower without reading structures before their addresses are
known. Opening one dataset of a v1 group looks its name up down the
group's B-tree (it read every entry: 74 requests, 193 MB at 1 MiB
blocks for one 64 KiB dataset of the 3000; now 5 requests, 5 MB).

fetches less. Merging nearby requests does not help such a file: the
blocks a listing needs are five or six apart at 64 KiB, so fewer requests would
mean fetching most of the file. Listing it a second time is free at
64 KiB blocks, but at 1 MiB its metadata blocks (192 MB) exceed the
64 MiB `cacheSize`, so they are fetched again (the earliest file: 4
passes, 50 requests); a larger `cacheSize` keeps them. A file's paged
aggregation (metadata in pages) is not used to fetch its metadata in
one request.
