Prompt: Let's check how we can make specsolve faster for small models 100-10k variables

Prompt: We should make this ONE PR!

Prompt: We should try to keep it as simple as possible

Note

The following content was generated by AI.

The build reads each stage's tables for every declaration in one pass, and it numbers constraint rows once the model is frozen. On main with #2065, port models built 15% faster at the median (28 of 44 faster, none slower). Models of 1M columns and more were level. The A/B below predates the merge of 0.11.0 and was not taken again.

Replaces #2019, #2020, #2026 and #2027.

What changed

Why. A polars query has a fixed cost however few rows it holds. Each declaration's tables were collected one query at a time, so a small model with many declarations paid that cost dozens of times.

  • Rows numbered at freeze. Each constraint builds its labelled block, rows, matrix share and quadratic share on rows of its own from 0, and drops its rows with no terms there. Assembly.run moves every block onto the model's rows once (_moved, only where the offset is not zero). Assembly.n_rows and the start argument through the constraint path are gone.
  • Shared passes. labels.Domain names the coordinates a declaration spans, and labels.frames numbers several domains in one pass. It replaces labels.frame. _build_variables reads the variables' labels in as few passes as _waves allows, and their bounds in one more pass. A variable whose where reads a variable of the current pass starts a new pass, because its mask reads that variable's labels. _build_constraints compiles each constraint into a _Constraint, then reads all labels, all constant sides and all linear terms in three passes. attach reads every source table in one collected_all.
  • The coverage check rides on the batched pass. constant_side returns a plan with one gap column per owed constant term, and refuse_uncovered reads those columns after the one collect. A term with no parameter under it is owed nothing, as on main since fix(engine): models that crashed, were refused or were built unlike the file now build as written #2051. A constraint's restrictions include its constant terms' presences.
  • Each block collapses its own share, as on main: _matrix_share sums repeated cells, drops zeros and orders the block. Each constraint's raw terms are let go as soon as its block has summed them.
  • Integer bounds. _bounds rounds a non-continuous variable's bounds inward (_whole, from fix(engine): models that crashed, were refused or were built unlike the file now build as written #2051) inside the batched bound pass.

Dropped: one collapse for the whole model. It made the port models faster still, but it sorted the stacked 2M-entry matrix of network/m on top of everything the build held, and it read peak memory +18% on network/m. It can come back as its own PR, measured at network/l.

Behaviour. A model with errors in several constraints can report a different one first, because every constraint is compiled and labelled before any is checked. The fuzz baseline records this: seed 349 now has a wording finding (the relational lane names c2, the linopy lane names c1), and seed 211 no longer has one. The maintainer chose to keep this order.

Merge of 0.11.0 and a crash the fuzzer found
A/B on the ports: bench.ab.compare, build only (before the merge of 0.11.0)

python -m bench.ab.compare origin/claude/specsolve-mathspec-update-1r2vw1 origin/claude/batched-build -k port- --rounds 6, the base being #2065's head 792d441, whose tree main has at 582e5c1. What is counted: sps.build wall time, warm, a fresh process per side per round, 6 rounds per side, ABBA. Values are medians; the change is the median paired ratio. Machine: this container, 4 cores, Python 3.12.3, polars 2.0.0, not the bench box; load average 0.91 before, 1.46 after.

28 faster, 16 no change, none slower; the median change over all 44 cells is −14.9% (−1.4% to −29.0%), and −19.6% over the 28 faster cells. With nothing changed, about 1.4 of 44 cells would read faster or slower by chance.

A/B on the ladder models, build only, and peak memory (before the merge of 0.11.0)

Base #2065's head 792d441, whose tree main has at 582e5c1; head 97e083d. One fresh process per measurement, base and head alternated ABBA for three rounds. Each process times sps.build 9 times (3 at l) and reports its minimum; the table gives the median of the three minima. Peak is ru_maxrss of the process. Load average 0.86 before, 2.16 after.

network l spreads from 2511 to 2921 ms on head and 2558 to 2606 ms on base, so three rounds do not decide it. CodSpeed's heap report reads test_window[network-s-specsolve-highs-*] at 15.6 MB against 13.9 MB, about +11%, on different hardware against 582e5c1.

Gates at b5fbf62

No pixi in this container. The gates ran in a Python 3.12 environment with Xpress 10:

  • ruff check ., ruff format --check .: clean.
  • pyrefly check on the package: 0 errors.
  • pytest -q -n 4: 5967 passed, 458 skipped, 4 xfailed.
  • python -m tests.fuzz --seeds 0:1000 --baseline tests/fuzz/baseline.json: every finding is one the baseline holds.

Not run: docs-build, the floors environment, test-via-pyarrow, test-bench.

Not done. declared_height and refuse_null_constants still run once per constraint. The bound, right-hand-side and objective ranges are still one polars query per block. #2036 collects each constant term eagerly, which undoes part of the batched constant-side pass here, so whichever of the two merges second needs a merge of the other and a re-measure. #2070 and #2071 change the same build methods, so the same holds for them. The A/B was not taken again after the merge of 0.11.0.

…zen rather than while it is built

Each constraint builds its labelled block, its rows and its shares on rows
of its own from 0, and drops its rows with no terms there. run() moves every
block onto the model's rows once, so no build step carries a start or a
running row count.

…el, and every block's ranges are read together

A constraint's block keeps its terms as they come and only reads which of
its rows have any. Assembly.run sums repeated cells, drops zeros and orders
the stacked matrix by (row, col) once, and reads every block's coefficient,
right-hand-side and bound range in one grouped query per table rather than
one query per block.

…has no term (#2028)

> **Prompt:** And what of this is a bug on main that should land there
independently?

> [!NOTE]
> The following content was generated by AI.

A quadratic constraint whose block drops a row with no term now keeps
each quadratic pair on its own row. Before, a later row took an earlier
row's pair and lost its own, and the wrong model solved silently.

<details><summary>Cause, test, gates, what was not done</summary>

**Cause.** `_drop_termless_rows` renumbered `rows` and the matrix share,
but not the quadratic share. `_block` then filtered the quadratic share
against the renumbered rows. So an entry kept its old row number and
landed on the wrong row, or was dropped.

**Test**, written first as a strict xfail and watched to fail on
`af1dac7`:
`test_a_quadratic_row_keeps_its_own_pair_when_a_row_before_it_is_not_built`.
`k * p * p <= 10` over `g=[a,b,c]` with `k` only at `b, c`. On `main`,
`qmatrix` is `[(1, 1, 1, 1.0)]` where `[(0, 1, 1, 1.0), (1, 2, 2, 4.0)]`
is correct. The test also solves with Gurobi against the optimum worked
out by hand.

**Fix.** `_drop_termless_rows` takes the quadratic share and renumbers
it with the same map. The filter in `_block` goes, because every row the
quadratic share holds is in `kept`. `replace_strict` raises if that ever
stops being true.

**Gates**, in a uv venv on polars 2.0.0 (no pixi in this container):
`ruff check .` and `ruff format --check .` at 0.16.9, `pyrefly check` on
`src/` at 1.3.1 (0 errors), `pytest -n auto tests`: 5449 passed, 657
skipped, 4 xfailed, and 2 failed. The 2 failures are the `[xpress]`
cases, which fail on `main` too because the xpress package is not
installed here. `docs-test` was not run.

**Not done.**
- `_drop_termless_rows` has a second caller in `_build_constraint`, for
a constraint with no linear and no quadratic term. That caller now
passes `None` for the quadratic share. No test reaches that branch: the
suite stays green with it replaced by a `raise`. The loader refuses a
constraint with no variable, so the branch looks unreachable. #2022
removes it.
- The omitted-row count of the same function is a separate bug, fixed in
#2029.
- #2022 rewrites this function. When it merges `main`, the resolution
keeps its version and adds this renumbering; #2027 already has it there.

…ng comparison on a string label is refused at load

mathspec 0.4.0 refuses `<`, `<=`, `>` or `>=` on a str or bool value
(energy-models/mathspec#931), which landed after the `main` commit the
migration was written against. The two tests that ordered string labels
bytewise now fail at load, so they go; mathspec's validation tests hold
the refusal. The String cast in `_dimension_column` stays, since `==`
against an unknown label still matches nothing.

Walkthrough

The engine now creates labels and assembles variable and constraint data in batches. Source frames and benchmark instrumentation also use batch collection. Constraint rows are built locally, pruned, then assigned contiguous model-wide offsets. The changelog reports about 15% faster builds for models with many variables and constraints.

Changes: Batched model construction and collection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multi-domain label generation
src/specsolve/_engine/labels.py, src/specsolve/_engine/readback.py, src/specsolve/_engine/scope.py, tests/test_relational.py
labels.frames builds dense label frames for multiple domains. Expression readback uses the new API. The scope and test documentation refer to labels.frames.
Batched variables and constraint blocks
src/specsolve/_engine/assembly.py, src/specsolve/_engine/coverage.py
Assembly batches variable labels and constraint processing. Constraint blocks use local row indices, drop termless rows, and receive contiguous model-wide offsets. Constant-side plans carry gap columns that refuse_uncovered checks.
Batched source collection and profiling
src/specsolve/_engine/attaching.py, bench/profile_build.py, bench/profile_phases.py, tests/test_collect.py, CHANGELOG.md
Source-frame attachment collects dimension, relation, and parameter frames together. The build profiler records individual and batch collection timing and counts, and phase names match the pluralized build methods. The collection test intercepts pl.collect_all. The changelog reports about 15% faster builds for models with many variables and constraints.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review c159d

This change batches label and source-frame collection and numbers constraint rows after pruning, so large models build faster. No new correctness, security or availability risk was established. The reported memory increase on large network models is worth watching. The remaining error-reporting oddity for parameter-free constants already existed and can be handled separately.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to c159d

The inspected changes preserve validation and prevent partially constructed models from being used after a failed build. No introduced security issue was established. Batched execution and incomplete downstream coverage leave limited uncertainty.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The directly evidenced exposure is the correctness and availability of model construction and expression results for the caller’s supplied data. The inspected batch changes operate on existing source plans and model declarations; they do not establish a new remote entrypoint or increased credential authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The transition from supplied data to solver-ready constraints retains coverage rejection and domain restrictions. Batching changes materialization and numbering, rather than replacing these checks with unchecked aggregation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The production build path clears the previous built model before constructing a fresh assembly and publishes a replacement only after successful completion. A failed build therefore does not expose partially populated assembly state to solver or readback consumers; recovery constructs fresh build state.

16f70ca ports #2075 here until it merges: CI now resolves Xpress 10.0.0 (released 2026-10-29), which fails 40 Xpress tests on main and on this PR alike (use xpress.ObjSense.MAXIMIZE instead, and a Community-licence warning). The three files it touches (_sinks/xpress.py, pyproject.toml, uv.lock) are #2075's, and the change drops out of this diff once main carries it. The Xpress tests pass on Xpress 10.0.0 at that commit.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Clarify how parameter-free constant pieces handle missing values.

A constant piece with no parameters can leave a gap at a row. refuse_uncovered still treats that gap as owed. It then raises DataError with an empty parameter list, and the uncovered count includes rows that only such a piece leaves uncovered. The base revision behaves the same way, so this is not a regression from this PR.

The proposed filter removes parameter-free pieces from owed. That stops the error, so a missing value from such a piece would contribute zero silently. That may be the intended contract, since the constant_side docstring says a coordinate with no row contributes zero. The code currently raises for non-region gaps, so the contract is unclear. Decide which behavior is intended. If missing values should still fail, name the piece or its dims in the message instead of dropping the gap. If they should contribute zero, state that in the constant_side docstring and make the filter explicit.

The following content was generated by AI.

the baseline seeds fails on 068214a at two seeds only. Seed 211 lost its wording finding, and seed 349 gained one. Both have the same cause: a model with refusals in two constraints now reports a different one first. This PR runs each check over every constraint before the next check starts, so a divisor check on a later constraint can come before a constant-side check on an earlier one. Main and the linopy lane report in declaration order. This waits on a maintainer decision: keep the new order and write the baseline again, or keep declaration order.

Seed 349 and the other commit on this push
  • Seed 349, relational lane: constraint 'c2': 4 value(s) are not finite where the model divides by 'p1'.
  • Seed 349, linopy lane: constraint 'c1': parameter 'p0' covers 2 fewer coordinates than the rows built here.
  • Main reports the same c1 refusal as linopy, so main has no finding at 349.
  • 068214a also fixes a crash that the same fuzz run found (seed 980). A variable whose where reads another variable raised KeyError, because every variable's labels were read in one pass. Now a where that reads a variable in the current pass starts a new pass. test_a_variable_whose_where_reads_another_variable_exists_where_that_one_does fails without the fix.
