perf(hooks): stabilize Raycast hook signatures by JustYannicc · Pull Request #613 · SuperCmdLabs/SuperCmd

JustYannicc · 2026-07-05T08:54:05Z

What changed

Added a shared Raycast hook args signature helper that catches circular data and caches repeat signatures for same-identity args.
Switched usePromise and useCachedPromise to the shared stable args helper, removing the direct render-time JSON.stringify(args || []) crash path in useCachedPromise.
Keyed useExec revalidation on command, argv, and execution-affecting options so dynamic hook inputs trigger execution again.
Added focused hook regression coverage and a small signature measurement script.

Why

useCachedPromise could stringify hook args directly during render, which made large arg arrays hot and crashed on circular args. useExec also passed an empty dependency args list into usePromise, so command, args, or execution option changes could be missed until manual revalidation.

Compatibility impact

Raycast hook API shapes and exports are unchanged. Callback and option refs continue flowing through the existing usePromise ref path. useSQL already keys dynamic database/query inputs, and useFetch already has a guarded request key. useStreamJSON option-signature invalidation was left as a non-actionable candidate for this PR to avoid broadening behavior beyond the requested hook invalidation fix.

How tested

node --test scripts/test-raycast-hook-signatures.mjs
node --test scripts/test-raycast-hook-signatures.mjs scripts/test-abortable-promise-hooks.mjs scripts/test-use-fetch-stale-runs.mjs scripts/test-use-stream-json-lifecycle.mjs
./node_modules/.bin/tsc -p tsconfig.renderer.json --noEmit --pretty false
node scripts/run-node-tests.mjs --exclude-perf passed with 317 passing, 1 skipped, 0 failures.
Codex LSP diagnostics reported no errors for use-stable-args.ts, use-promise.ts, use-cached-promise.ts, and use-exec.ts.

Performance evidence

node scripts/measure-raycast-hook-signatures.mjs with 500 iterations over 10,000 large rows:

direct repeated JSON.stringify: 463.667 ms
cached getStableArgsKey repeated same identity: 0.061 ms
cyclic args signature generation: 2.13 ms without throwing
measured same-identity speedup: 7601.1x

Stack validation

Started from codex/perf-wave4-integrated-stack-20260705 base SHA ac90ce403aeddab98d0a1b245afce268c48b8bfd and created codex/perf-hooks-raycast-runtime-signatures from that exact commit. The local npm command is intentionally disabled on this Mac, so dependencies were populated with runtime pnpm for validation only; node scripts/check-package-manager-parity.mjs cannot pass in this environment because that install resolved several package versions differently than package-lock.json expects. No dependency files are included in the PR.
