- The readonly-loader completer test now stubs
get_portable_mcp_server_names_nowait — real plugin discovery runs
load_config() during one-time process init, which is not the
per-keystroke read the test guards against.
- Cap _resolve_toolset_memo at 256 entries: generation-keyed entries
from stale generations are never hit again, so clear on overflow to
keep long sessions bounded.
The /tools and /personality completers run on every keystroke while the
user types those commands (complete_while_typing), and both re-read +
re-parse the full config on each keypress:
- _tools_completions called load_config() — the defensive deepcopy
(~340us/call on cache hit) even though it only reads toolset enable
state + MCP server names. Switched to load_config_readonly() (the
perf(agent) #74322 pattern; this per-keystroke site was missed).
- _personality_completions called load_cli_config() — a full YAML parse
+ deep merge of the built-in defaults (~110us) — on every keystroke.
Memoised keyed on the config file path+mtime (same pattern as load_env
/ _nous_auth_status_cache), so the parse runs once per config state.
Measured: /tools 357us -> 18us per keystroke; /personality parse drops
from 1-per-keystroke to 1-per-config-change (500 keystrokes -> 1 parse).
Regression tests: _tools_completions uses the readonly loader (deepcopy
loader never called); personality memo parses once across repeated
completions and re-parses once after a config mtime change.
