- Introduce BDN-based runner (AcBinaryVsMemPackBenchmark) mirroring Console's FastestByte scenario; add BdnSummaryAdapter for unified result translation.
- Standardize output: both runners emit .log/.LLM/.output triplets; BDN-native artifacts go under Benchmark/BDN/.
- Simplify CLI: replace granular switches with --serializers; update help and usage.
- Remove legacy benchmark classes; focus on scenario-based approach.
- Rewrite README.md for both AyCode.Benchmark and Console to document dual-runner architecture, output conventions, and dependencies.
- Rotate BINARY_TODO.md; archive closed entries to BINARY_TODO_2026_04.md and BINARY_TODO_2026_05.md.
- Add BINARY_SGEN_OPTIMIZATION.md for SGen per-property emit optimization notes.
- Update comments and docstrings for clarity and maintainability; clarify BenchmarkResult iteration semantics for BDN rows.
- Removed Output.cs and migrated all reporting, formatting, and statistics logic to a new BenchmarkReportWriter static class.
- Extended ReportingContext with run-header fields for richer output metadata.
- Updated BenchmarkLoop to use BenchmarkReportWriter and the new ReportingContext.
- Centralized all output file generation (.log, .LLM, .output) and formatting helpers in BenchmarkReportWriter.
- Improved separation of concerns and unified output artifact naming and metadata.
Major refactor: all benchmark engine implementations, enums, and helpers moved from Console project to AyCode.Core.Benchmarks.Workloads.Scenarios for unified cross-runner use. BenchmarkResult and reporting logic moved to AyCode.Core.Benchmarks.Reporting. Attribute-flag aggregation centralized in BenchmarkOptions. Updated all usages, project references, and SGen codegen for ref-handling. Prepares codebase for shared reporting and future extensibility.
The "Test Type" (TypeName) field was removed from all benchmark output locations, including console summaries, formatted output, and markdown result files. No functional changes were made to the test model definitions; only a BOM was added to SharedTestOrderModels.cs. All other benchmark summary details remain unchanged.
Refactored the benchmark and test data infrastructure to use generic, type-safe, and multi-variant models. Introduced generic base classes for the test data hierarchy and factories, with closing-generic aliases for _All_True and _All_False families. Benchmarks now select the correct test data variant per serializer options, and all serializers are generic over the order type. Output and result reporting now include the CLR type name for clarity. Centralized string property handling and improved documentation throughout.
Refactor tests to use _All_True model types throughout
Replaced all usages of legacy test model types (e.g., TestOrder, TestOrderItem, SharedTag, etc.) with new, feature-complete _All_True variants across SignalR test infrastructure, data sources, and service handlers. Updated all generic constraints, method signatures, and test data to use the new types. Added SharedTestBaseModels.cs and SharedTestOrderModels.cs to define abstract bases and concrete _All_True models with full serialization attributes. This enables more thorough and realistic serialization/deserialization testing and future extensibility.
Refactor benchmark suite to use enums for config
Replaced string parameters for layer, opMode, and serializerMode with strongly-typed enums (BenchmarkLayer, BenchmarkOpMode, SerializerSelectionMode) across BenchmarkLoop, Menu, and Program. Updated CLI parsing and menu logic to use Enum.TryParse and return enums. Added XML docs for new enums. Improves type safety, code clarity, and maintainability.
Refactor benchmarks to use typed enums for engine/mode
Replaced string-based identifiers for serializer engine, I/O mode, and dispatch mode with strongly-typed enums (BenchmarkEngine, BenchmarkIoMode, BenchmarkDispatchMode). Added BenchmarkEnums.cs with ToDisplay() helpers for consistent output. Updated all benchmark implementations, DTOs, and output logic to use enums. Removed obsolete string constants from Configuration.cs. Merged allocation measurement methods in BenchmarkLoop.cs for clarity. Improves type safety, maintainability, and output consistency.
Refactor: move benchmark logic to BenchmarkLoop.cs
Moved all benchmark execution logic (RunBenchmark, RunBenchmarksForTestData, CreateSerializers) from Program.cs into a new static class BenchmarkLoop in BenchmarkLoop.cs. Program.cs now delegates benchmark runs to BenchmarkLoop, improving separation of concerns. No changes to benchmark functionality.
Refactor: move benchmark loop logic to BenchmarkLoop.cs
Refactored all benchmark execution infrastructure from Program.cs into a new internal static class BenchmarkLoop. This includes timing, allocation measurement, progress reporting, GC helpers, MemoryPack setup validation, and test data filtering. Updated Program.cs and all serializer benchmarks to use the new class. Added serAllocPct reporting in Output.cs and a PowerShell script for automated refactoring. No functional changes to benchmark logic.
