Description

Warm devenv shell on PR #464 is down to roughly 1.16s-1.23s, and traced shell-entry tasks are down to roughly 459ms, but the end-to-end shell still misses the sub-second target.

Context:

  • repo-side bootstrap work is now largely cached/skipped via the outer setup fingerprint and faster task status paths
  • the remaining floor appears to be outside repo task execution or in the residual setup:gate / shell activation path

Follow-up:

  • separate repo-local hot-path costs from upstream devenv shell activation overhead
  • determine whether the remaining floor can be reduced further from inside setup.nix or needs an upstream devenv change

Research direction

Start with the warm devenv shell measurements and the traced shell-entry tasks described in this issue, then inspect setup.nix and the residual setup:gate or shell activation path. Compare repo-local costs with upstream devenv activation overhead. Done means identifying the remaining floor and documenting whether it can be reduced in setup.nix or requires an upstream change.
