LibWeb: Rework the style engine's data layout - #11207
Conversation
Four Rust style tests fail on origin/master because their fixtures omit facts or expectations required by the behavior they exercise. Give guard rules their actual specificity, enable answer completion where required, publish tag facts for deactivation, and expect routes to consolidate before late exact-entry grouping.
Style captures recorded a fresh longhand value pointer for every publication, even when the engine had canonicalized to an older, value-equal table. Replay then compared opaque pointer tokens as live values and crashed on the first such publication. Record each canonical longhand table once per document engine and reference it afterwards. Drop the source-slot sidecar, which replay no longer needs.
The catalog interned exact match answers and their cascade-compacted form in one table, but named the same integer with two newtypes, MatchAnswerID and CascadeInputID, and converted between them at fourteen call sites. Nothing distinguished the two identities except which reference count was held. Keep MatchAnswerID as the only answer identity. Whether an answer is exact or compacted is a property of its payload, not a second identity type, so the conversions and their bookkeeping go away.
Prefix automaton states were interned by construction: the base state plus its delta. Two states with identical content reached through different bases got different identities, so the transition memo fragmented by construction path and every downstream identity compare was only a fast positive that needed a content walk to confirm. Intern states by their content digest instead, comparing content on a hash hit under a private comparison epoch. Equal contents share one identity however they were built, memo hits rise, and identity equality means content equality. Reuse the epoch marks directly when checking a hash collision, without allocating temporary comparison vectors while the state-construction scratch is borrowed.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 8 remain after this review. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change restructures the Rust and C++ style engine around staged transactions, shared selector and atom identities, direct routing indexes, selector-truth verification, and quota-period memory admission. It adds scoped element-arrival and attribute publication paths. Style records now use explicit pinning and cache cleanup. Replay records atom reclamation, selector sharing, and computed-table identities. Tests cover routing refreshes, selector truth, atom reuse, memory reclamation, and layout style-record consumption. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR substantially changes the style engine’s retained data and update paths, but unresolved issues can disable retained-state validation, regress lookup performance, make release-profile tests unreliable, and misstate the enforced memory budget. The PR should not merge until these bounded correctness, performance, test, and memory-accounting risks are fixed or explicitly accepted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3✅ Passed checks (3 passed)

- Around line 1015-1019: Update the staged pre-image lifecycle in the documented
evaluation sequence so transaction pre-images remain available throughout Step 9
match traversal and publication; move their release until after those
operations, or explicitly materialize all required before-side facts before Step
8 and enforce that boundary.
- Around line 604-606: Update shared selector-payload memory accounting so the
lease is not owned exclusively by the first inserting document: use a
process-global lease, or transfer the charge to a remaining referencing document
when that document releases its reference. Ensure accounting remains active
until the shared payload’s final document reference is dropped.
- Line 223: Update the journal overflow coarsening logic so ElementStyleInput
entries are never reduced to a document-scope marker unless the marker preserves
every action and target needed for exact evaluation; otherwise restrict
most-numerous-kind selection to reconstructible retained-fact inputs. Preserve
exact final-fact evaluation and the existing overflow bounds, using the journal
overflow implementation’s input-kind classification symbols.
In `@Documentation/Style/StyleEngineTesting.md`:
- Line 39: Update the observer-only verification API described in the
documentation so verifier closures receive an immutable verifier view or
read-only capability instead of mutable engine state. Make cache publication and
engine-state mutation unavailable at the type level, while preserving the
existing requirements that verification cannot steer or bypass the fast path and
incomplete comparisons fail rather than skip.
In `@Libraries/LibWeb/CSS/StyleComputer.cpp`:
- Around line 173-184: Update prepare_for_style_engine_transaction so it does
not unconditionally clear m_custom_property_environments after
sweep_custom_property_environments; preserve the sweep’s selectively retained

intended behavior when the style-sharing cache is not over its cap.
In `@Libraries/LibWeb/Rust/src/css/style/bridge.rs`:
- Around line 797-818: Add debug assertions in the element_arrivals loop around
the validation of StyleNodeID, custom-state offset arithmetic, integer
conversion, and custom-state range lookup, while retaining each existing
continue for release behavior. Use assertions to flag violated producer
invariants before discarding malformed rows, without changing
record_element_arrival or the successful processing path.

distinguish entry and node indices.
- Around line 1733-1743: Update the pseudo-row loop around can_advance so each

existing state transition behavior and the FnMut call ordering.
In `@Libraries/LibWeb/Rust/src/css/style/catalog.rs`:
- Around line 1144-1165: Remove the resize_required_to call inside the

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 9 remain after this review.
One selector entry was named as (program, entry) by the compiler, as a dispatch row per scope, as a transpose route per input, and as (rule, program, entry) triples in truth deltas; one class fact traveled through six key vocabularies from input to posting. Every hop was a match arm or a hash probe, and every flush rebuilt translation tables between them. Give each attached selector entry one dense EntryID and each feature one (kind, atom) key, and use them in dispatch, routing, prefix matching, truth deltas and postings alike. Rows sharing an entry are expanded through the dispatch and filtered by prefix admission, while selector truth stays per entry so shared entries keep their deltas. Allocate recycled entry ids in ascending entry-index order so retained and delta answers share one canonical sort order.
Tree changes were staged in two hash maps and committed before routing, so the pre-transaction child order had to be reconstructed by a topological sort per touched parent, which silently disabled exact tree routing on ambiguity. Departures were collected separately and missed nodes that arrived and departed within one transaction. Stage every touched relation row as a frozen before value and a last-writer after value, indexed by element identity, and read old sibling rows from the pairs directly. Same-transaction arrivals that leave again remain visible to the later fact barrier, and the reconstruction and its ambiguity bail are gone.
Staged element facts lived in a hash map of full heap rows, with a separate before-side snapshot, an opposite-side batch materialized by copying rows, and a commit-then-uncommit dance for selector queries in the middle of a transaction. Every fact reader forked between the committed and the primary store depending on when the flush committed. Keep one paged staging column of before/after row pairs per touched element, drained through a dirty list, with a single commit point before planning and sparse before rows for the transaction. Readers resolve a row by side; the opposite-side batches, the rollback path and the two commit orders are removed, and barrier work is proportional to the dirty rows. Distinguish dirty element rows from any staged input, move retained-answer patch coverage across the new barrier, and treat only a before-side non-resident view as composite so after-side transition memos continue to use resident row identities.
Rule versions, sheet membership, layer ranks and activation flags were staged in fifteen pending maps, applied by seven passes at commit, with a fast path for rules created since the last barrier that bypassed all of them. Routing then re-derived which sheets, programs and rules were in flux from the journal. Stage program fields as dense before/after rows owned by one staging object, commit them together, and derive the program routing deltas and departures from the pairs. The pending maps, the committed-rule fast path and the journal scans go away. Preserve the any-input predicate as the unified staging object absorbs pending element rows.
A retained match answer is the joined, activation-filtered relation, and nothing checked that it still agreed with the raw selector truth the matcher proved for the node. Under LIBWEB_VERIFY_STYLE_ANSWER_PATCH, record every proven (entry, scope, proximity) row at the matcher boundary, rejoin it through the same immutable dispatch, and assert it reproduces the retained rows. A second gate checks the derived-answer key. Production builds pay one Option check per emitted match and allocate nothing. Make that second gate independently selectable and part of the recorded gate bits, and cover both exact truth and a deliberately dropped truth row.
Each attribute fact carried 28 bytes: the name plus three derived name forms that are functions of the name, and offsets into per-row copies of value text and language tags that catalogs already held once. The catalogs themselves were hash maps keyed by an already dense atom. Store name forms, value texts, language texts and custom-property name sets in atom-indexed columns and resolve them from the atom, so an attribute fact is the name, the value and an optional text handle. Rows no longer copy text, and one shared catalog serves the primary store and every batch.
The primary fact store reused the batch row format: an element-to-row directory, append-and-repoint on every change, a full heap snapshot of the row on first touch, stale rows compacted by rebuilding the whole store, and a complete clone for every broad plan. Index the fixed-width facts directly by element like the tree columns, keep classes and attributes in append-only arenas addressed by per-element handles, and keep rare facts in sparse pages. Staged snapshots shrink to the fixed facts plus handles, broad plans borrow an immutable view of the primary, and live cardinality is maintained incrementally instead of counted.
Part and custom-state postings were maintained outside the fact store and survived element retirement; auxiliary catalogs were swept by walking every row on every departure; a missing posting was rebuilt by a full-row walk on every commit; and postings grew without bound for keys that select most of the document. Maintain every posting family beside the fact setters, count live catalog references so sweeps are indexed, and charge both posting payloads and their hash-table storage. Retry a failed rebuild only when its own growth closed admission and Tier-3 headroom has returned, then cap selector postings above the greater of 4096 members and a quarter of the live elements. A capped key reads as missing acceleration, so consumers take their exact fallback. Document the cap beside the posting representation and its exact fallback contract. Check retained memory against every charged posting allocation after refused growth.
Tier-3 admission was decided per container in the middle of a traversal: a refused reservation dropped a posting, switched the rest of a batch to non-retainable answers, or cleared a witness table, and the refused requester asked for other categories to be evicted. The budget boundary moved with Vec doubling, so retained-state changes could not be evaluated against it. Decide admission once per flush period from the pool state: a category whose own growth crosses the limit closes for the period, every Tier-3 owner gates new entries on that decision, and eviction waits for the boundary. At the boundary, select complete cold working sets by benefit only when they can cover the overage. Account committed external cache growth, retain program-owned values correctly, scale the journal cap with the document, and treat an empty staged tree overlay as complete. Keeping growth usable changes the structural-child stress expectation from six to seven warm pseudo-element recomputations.
Each Tier-3 owner had its own mid-flush eviction: prefix retention retried by displacing retained answers and winner groups, winner groups evicted on a refused settle, and witnesses, postings, incidences and answers each carried a retry or rollback path. Remove those retry and rollback paths and rely on the whole-category victim selection established with period admission. State built in the current period stays usable until the boundary, capacity is reconciled at cache boundaries, and Tier-4 scratch is never refused. Prepared retained-answer replacement is no longer refused, so coverage changes from Missing to Known without recording a refusal or eviction.
With admission and eviction decided at period boundaries, the remaining per-container reservation protocol (settle_committed, ReservationOutcome and the production reserve) had no production reader left. Delete it and keep exact accounting at container growth. Remove the reservation-only controller tests and describe the shared-pool, all-or-nothing boundary model and scaled journal limit in the design document.
StyleEngine::intern_atom held a leaked FlyString reference per atom but did not remember the atom, so every class, tag, attribute or state publication crossed the FFI to re-intern a name the engine already knew. A StyleBench capture made 667k such calls. Memoize the raw FlyString identity to its atom on the C++ side and report the remaining atom boundary calls in replay. The calls drop by 98%.
Atoms were minted per document, so the same class name was a different integer in every frame and compiled selector programs could not be shared between documents, although the FlyString identity they came from is already process-wide. Intern raw and namespace-qualified names in one process-global table with per-document reference counts, keep the C++ FlyString reference alive for exactly the lifetime of the global entry, keep synthetic text keys outside the FlyString retain/release path, and record the resulting process-global tokens with per-engine mappings in captures.
Every document compiled its own copy of every selector program, and program state was more than half of the engine's memory on real pages with many frames. With process-global atoms, an immutable compiled program is the same bytes in every document that attaches the sheet. Intern compiled selector payloads process-wide behind weak references, keep program ids, entry ids, rule attachments, routes and results per document, and keep each payload's memory charge alive until its last document reference drops. Bind that charge to the first document and document why later documents report zero program bytes for the payload.
A transpose route was a 116-byte record copied by value for every route a mutation reached, its subject-side fields duplicated into every route of the same entry, and routes were canonicalized by a descriptor hash that included the rule and so merged nothing. Store per-entry subject facts once, split routes into a 16-byte hot header plus range columns for paths and keys, canonicalize exactly per rule, and flatten the input directories into one sorted route array. Keep a reopened directory mutable while the program changes on consecutive boundaries, then flatten it when the program settles. Keep the selector examples that justify each narrowing accessor beside it.
Dead routes stayed registered and four consumers re-filtered liveness on every flush; the sibling entries, relational route descriptors and the structural entry index were rebuilt per flush although they only change with the program. Keep a bit-packed liveness column advanced when selector identity or decidability changes, including a sheet flipping between attached and unattached, and cache the derived indexes under the same generation.
Pseudo-element winner rows lived in a document-wide map keyed by (node, pseudo) plus a mirrored per-node target list. Every access hashed the composite key and both structures maintained the same inventory. Keep one sparse per-element column of pseudo winner rows; removal and enumeration cost the pseudos of that node.
A retained property winner was 104 bytes and hashed its 64-byte cascade priority and rule provenance into the winner group identity, so two elements with equal specified values from different rules never shared a group and a theme swap minted new groups for every element. The route pruning proof also walked every transpose site of the winner's program before comparing priorities. Intern winner groups on (property, specified key) only and keep importance, source and an interned exact priority in a parallel provenance row per cascade state. Priority compares stay exact and O(1), including for cross-scope winners, and the pruning proof compares before it walks.
Deleting a winning rule is the non-invertible cascade case, and the engine only knew whether a rule won somewhere, so a removal routed through old-selector evaluation to find its nodes. Keep a bounded posting of winning nodes per rule beside the reference count and route narrow removals through it. Matches that lost to the rule are refreshed in one pass per transaction, so no retained answer keeps a deactivated rule row. State why the retained row count proves coverage after arrivals and departures cross the commit barrier.
Computed publication kept five hash maps keyed by (node, pseudo) that were scanned whole on removal and on every pseudo cascade check, plus nine parallel Option columns per element. Keep one sparse per-node pseudo row table with bit-packed presence, and pack the element publication state into u32 struct-of-arrays columns with shared flags. Keep the style-record identity in its own Option column because that representation already packs into four bytes.

Computed sets, groups, tables, and style records were append-only for the document lifetime. Style churn retained every superseded payload and made stale numeric identities look valid forever. Mark element and pseudo assignments, overlays, and explicit C++ pins. Retire unreachable records with generation-tagged identities. Captures stay monotone because their dictionaries name computed identities, so recording suppresses reclamation. Keep generated layout records pinned while their DOM pseudo can replace its record before reconstruction, rebind payload-equal updates, and preserve a detached node's prior pin when its pseudo is cleared. Document teardown ownership and count transient computed-style view pins.
An arriving element published its namespace, language, directionality, heading level, slot-ness and custom states through individual boundary calls after its tree delta, on the order of twenty crossings for a plain div with a class. Carry those intrinsic facts in one arrival row family applied with the tree deltas of the same batch, and report the boundary calls in replay.
Presentational hints were republished on every computation, animation names on every changed record, language text once per arriving element, and an empty inline declaration block for every element without one; each republish interned its values before the engine deduplicated it. Publish hints and animation names only when they changed since the last publication that crossed, language text once per atom per document, and skip empty initial inline blocks.
The value text of every distinct attribute, including the style attribute, was pushed to the engine and pinned as a FlyString for the document's life, although only substring and token operators read text. Publish text only for attribute names some attached selector or query applies such an operator to, in both written and folded forms, memoize the published name forms, and record the demand probes so replay stays deterministic. During demand expansion, test each name before reinterning its value so unrelated attributes do not hash their text again. Exercise demanded name forms remaining published after element churn.
Subtree membership was an ancestor walk with no early rejection, and preorder walks climbed the parent chain to find every subtree end. Retain a depth column maintained by the same relation updates, recompute only staged arrivals and nodes whose installed parent changes, and let a changed ancestor cover changed descendants. Compare with the resident parent before installation so sibling-only staging and repeated mid-transaction applications cannot suppress required recomputation. Reject subtree tests on depth before walking.
An attribute value change routed every selector mentioning the attribute name, presence tests included, and enumerated and exact-checked every subject in the region although the origin compound was true on both sides. Decide presence and interned-equality tests directly and evaluate broad value operators on both fact sides before firing a route, so routes whose origin truth did not flip are skipped. Cover the fire direction for presence, exact-atom, and text-operator truth changes.
Interning a match answer allocated and sorted even on a hit, retained answers were materialized through a per-traversal copy of the dispatch rank table, and patch attribution keys were deduplicated by a linear scan. Intern small answers without allocation, read ranks from the retained answer's dispatch, and index attribution keys.
Every flush rebuilt the sibling routing workspace and rescanned the whole winner column to advance the program version, whatever the transaction contained. Retain the workspace by program generation and skip the winner scan when the plan already covers the document.
Scope roots and detached-sheet routing exclusions were hash maps keyed by dense identities. Store them as columns. Define bit-column equality with zero padding so different allocation lengths still represent the same logical set.
Every scope program cloned its 56-byte dispatch entries, kept three copies of the cascade rank and four mirror bucket structures for non-prefix candidates, probed a hash map per dispatch key of the element twice, iterated all 43 state facts per probe, and charged none of it. Share the selector-derived entry metadata across scopes with an 8-byte per-scope binding, keep flat all-row and non-prefix row directories addressed by atom range pages, derive the universal fallback, iterate only set state bits, keep the subject bloom per fact row so candidates are rejected before publication, and charge the dispatch to the program category.
Dispatch keys, required keys, parent and ancestor keys and the unified prefix chain were re-derived by IR walks on every scope dispatch build, allocating on the way. Compute them once in the immutable program at finish and reuse the cached prefix analysis when deriving entry properties. The cache is derived data and stays out of the program's semantic identity.
Preallocated style nodes lived in a process-global set keyed by raw Element pointer, pending element style inputs were consumed by a linear scan per reaction, and subtree recording walked to the root per node to find the tree scope. Keep the preallocated set on the document's engine object, index pending inputs by node, carry the tree scope through the subtree walk, and say which side owns each retained style handle.
With process-global atoms, an atom no document mentions any more was retained for the process lifetime, together with its FlyString reference and catalog entries, so attribute-value churn grew without bound. Count live roots per document and reclaim unrooted atoms after marking pins, qualified-name components, and derived attribute-name forms to a fixed point, purging every atom-keyed catalog before an identity is freed. Sweep only inside take_style_transaction, on growth or after 256 pin releases, so each batch reaches C++ before an identity is reused; a direct flush release cannot deliver that batch and does not sweep, and a sweep waits while a matching traversal owns the primary view. Record every sweep so replay recycles the same identities, keep atom live counts in paged u32 columns.
Bring the design document in line with the engine as it stands: the fixed-width selector IR and transpose routes, flat route directories, the element-indexed fact store and packed publication columns, process-global atoms and shared programs, the six-array boundary transaction, the period-based Tier-3 budget, and the current flush stages. Keep container conditions distinct from the document-wide condition state published for media and supports rules.
Equal style group payloads do not cover longhands whose groups only require an initial value, nor data stored outside group payloads. The shortcut could therefore suppress invalidation for a changed style. Require canonical longhand-table identity and equal resolved font lists before skipping the full diff. The style verifier covers the previously mismatched computed-style and interpolation cases.
This series reworks what the style engine retains and who owns it. The algorithms (journal, transpose routing, prefix automaton, retained answers, winner groups, computed records) are unchanged; the rows underneath them are.
Benchmarks are neutral/better, but this is mainly about data normalization.
