Improve validation correctness, architecture, and performance by binaryfire · Pull Request #523 · hypervel/components

Summary

Hypervel's validation package uses compiled rule plans, worker-lifetime plan caching, inline checks, ordered exclusion analysis, and batched database-presence queries to avoid the main costs of Laravel-style validation.

Several boundaries in that optimizer were incomplete. In some cases, planning could observe or execute work before normal rule order reached it. Database facts also used PHP equality where the database and PDO binding semantics were authoritative. These gaps could change validation results, execute queries that ordinary validation would skip, or bypass Laravel extension hooks.

This PR fixes those problems and simplifies the architecture around them. It also expands the optimized path to common fluent and typeless size rules that were previously delegated.

What changed

Rule parsing and compilation

Restore Laravel's generic rule-object canonicalization. Safe stringable rule objects are normalized once during rule parsing rather than requiring a Hypervel-specific class registry.
Make fluent rules such as Rule::in() and Rule::notIn() cacheable and inlineable.
Keep callback-bearing and custom rule objects on the normal delegated path.
Delegate an entire attribute when its parsed parameters contain objects, resources, nested arrays, or other values that cannot be inspected safely before execution reaches them.
Parse each rule once per plan-cache miss and share that parsed representation between compiler context collection and rule emission.
Replace the four-way size mode with Laravel's actual semantic boundary: sibling rules decide only whether numeric semantics are active, while the runtime value decides string, array, file, or numeric behavior.
Inline common typeless min, max, size, and between rules without giving up exact numeric comparisons.

Ordered execution

Keep the optimized loop exclusive to the exact base Validator.
Run validator subclasses through a Laravel-shaped delegated loop so overrides of protected validation hooks retain their expected behavior.
Preserve rule and attribute order across bail, sometimes, implicit rules, uploaded-file failures, exclusions, and global early stopping.
Keep public message keys separate from internal placeholder-containing keys used by rules and validation data.
Avoid reparsing an attribute's rules after a failure when the compiled plan and failure state already contain the answer.

Exclusions

Treat pre-evaluated exclusions as ordered hints rather than globally active results.
Activate an exclusion only when execution reaches its attribute.
Preserve failures from rules that run before a later exclusion.
Use Laravel's existing wildcard-capture and dependent-parameter normalization rather than maintaining a second implementation.
Stop evaluating exclusion hints after validation data may have changed.
Replace repeated scans of the active exclusion list with an execution-local set on the exact base validator. This removes quadratic behavior for large wildcard exclusion sets while leaving subclass behavior compatible with Laravel.

Database-presence batching

Batch only when every preceding check is safe to repeat and proves that ordered execution can reach exists or unique.
Treat uncertain values as delegated fallbacks without disabling batching for safe siblings.
Disable speculative batching under stopOnFirstFailure, where an unnecessary PostgreSQL error could otherwise replace the intended first validation failure and abort the caller's transaction.
Key facts by the complete database query shape and PDO binding identity rather than attribute name or PHP string equality.
Preserve native string, integer, and float bindings. Objects, booleans, resources, and date values remain on the ordinary verifier path.
Use the database to resolve collation and coercion behavior in at most two grouped stages. Ambiguous values delegate rather than being guessed in PHP.
Preserve database DISTINCT semantics for array-valued exists rules.
Skip presence-planner work immediately for wildcard plans with no presence rule.

Safe groups still use one query per 1,000 candidates. A second grouped pass is used only when database collation or coercion makes the first result ambiguous.

Correctness fixes

The architectural changes also fix several concrete defects:

differently-cased duplicates could pass unique on case-insensitive databases;
integer and string values with the same textual form could consume each other's database facts;
presence queries could run before earlier rules, exclusions, or global early stopping;
numeric literal path segments could be mistaken for wildcard captures;
transient numeric message state could leak into a later inline size rule;
escaped-dot attributes could cross the internal/public key boundary;
absent sometimes attributes could skip later exclusions;
Unique::ignore(0) lost the ignored identifier;
boolean database conditions serialized incorrectly;
date_format accepted noncanonical numeric strings such as 1 for m;
resource-valued json validation could throw instead of failing validation.

Architecture

The resulting validation path has one clear fallback rule: if an optimization cannot prove that early work is safe, normal ordered validation remains authoritative.

Compiled plans contain immutable rule metadata only and remain safe to share for the worker lifetime. Database facts, exclusion state, and fallback memoization live only for one validation execution. No coroutine context, locks, mutable shared plans, database-specific SQL, or secondary registry of Laravel rule names is introduced.

The implementation removes the custom database-presence rule contract, four-way size-mode mapping, duplicate implicit-rule knowledge, dead plan fields, duplicate JSON predicate, and obsolete presence/exclusion helpers.

Performance

Before/after measurements compare the branch point (7741eaad0) with this branch using the same repaired deterministic benchmark harness, locked dependencies, production presence-verifier wiring, and warm-cache workloads. Three alternating runs were made for each revision. Each run reports the median of five measurements after one untimed warmup; the table reports the median of those run medians.

Scenario	Before	After	Change
Fluent rules	33.66 ms	8.90 ms	73.6% faster / 3.78× speedup
Typeless size rules	37.46 ms	19.50 ms	47.9% faster / 1.92× speedup
Simple wildcard validation	50.06 ms	48.17 ms	3.8% faster
Conditional exclusions	44.66 ms	43.15 ms	3.4% faster
Deeply nested validation	179.57 ms	177.54 ms	1.1% faster
Small flat form	0.06 ms	0.06 ms	No measurable change

The small differences on existing optimized workloads are within normal timing noise. The meaningful changes are the new compiled paths for fluent and typeless size rules, with no measured regression elsewhere.

The current optimized architecture also remains substantially faster than the benchmark's Laravel-shaped legacy executor and original wildcard expansion: about 3.3× on the simple workload, 8.0× on the nested workload, 113.5× on conditional exclusions, 3.0× on fluent rules, and 3.8× on typeless size rules.

Compatibility

Pipe-delimited and array rule syntax remain supported.
Laravel public APIs, rule order, messages, named arguments, fluent rules, and protected validator extension hooks remain intact.
Custom and callback-bearing rules continue to use ordinary delegated validation.
The intentional behavior differences are correctness fixes for invalid or previously misclassified input, not API removals.

Verification

Full formatting, static analysis, parallel test, and Testbench checks pass through composer fix.
The complete validation suite and focused regression suites pass.
Database validation coverage passes against MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
The database matrix covers binding identity, collation, coercion, typed-column errors, distinct array values, early stopping, and batching query counts.
Repeated deterministic benchmark runs confirm the reported performance changes.

Tests
- Expanded validation coverage across supported database engines, rule execution, exclusions, batching, and benchmark scenarios.

Record the signed-off classification and remediation strategy for the 0.4 components audit. Capture the accepted fixes, rejected findings, compatibility decisions, and verification requirements as the baseline for the implementation slices.

Record the signed-off validation remediation design for audit findings 15 through 20 and the additional defects found at their shared boundaries. Preserve the correctness, performance, Laravel-compatibility, database-matrix, and long-lived-worker constraints that implementation must satisfy.

DatabasePresenceVerifier::getMultiCount() counts distinct stored values, but the batching fetch path previously returned every matching row. Select distinct column values at the shared verifier boundary so precomputed array-presence facts use the same database semantics as ordinary validation. Update the focused verifier test to require the distinct query while retaining connection, exclusion, condition, and result assertions.

Keep benchmark configuration local to each command invocation, validate scenario and iteration options explicitly, and replace random workload construction with deterministic values. Warm each execution path independently, require optimized and legacy results to agree before timing, and report a true median over measured iterations. Remove benchmark-only static cleanup from the global PHPUnit subscriber and cover valid, unknown, zero-iteration, and non-integer command inputs through the public console surface. Add fluent-rule and typeless-size scenarios so the benchmark exercises the optimized forms introduced by this remediation.

Restore Laravel's generic Stringable rule canonicalization, delete the Hypervel-only presence-rule metadata layer, and compile rule tokens once into immutable plans. Replace the four-way size mode with the validator's canonical numeric-rule authority and one value-dispatched size implementation shared by inline and delegated checks. Make exclusion pre-evaluation and presence planning follow declared rule order. Preflight only reviewed side-effect-free predicates, keep mutation and global early-stop gates at their actual boundaries, resolve dependent wildcards through the validator's existing authority, and delegate every uncertain probe to ordinary validation. Key execution-local presence facts by complete query shape and PDO binding identity. Preserve raw binding types, use database-backed two-stage isolation for collation and coercion matches, retain DISTINCT array semantics, memoize only proven fallback counts for one passes() call, and keep all shared cached plans free of request state. Also fix falsey fluent database-rule serialization, resource-valued JSON validation, strict date-format round trips, escaped-attribute stop checks, and transient numeric message state while removing the superseded helpers, fields, contracts, and enum.

Pin generic fluent-rule canonicalization, callback-bearing object preservation, and single evaluation of conditional rules. Verify fluent in, not-in, and callback-free presence forms enter the compiled cache while custom and callback-bearing rules remain delegated. Cover value-dispatched size compilation, canonical numeric semantics including decimal rules, precision-safe threshold classification, removal of stale plan metadata, and zero-valued unique exclusions across the public fluent rule string.

Exercise the compiled executor's shared skip gates, invalid-upload handling, reviewed preflight allowlist, object and resource safety, value-dispatched sizes, and reset of transient numeric message state. Assert the allowlist partitions every inline check so new enum cases require an explicit repeat-safety decision. Add regressions for Laravel-compatible bail, implicit-rule, placeholder, nullable, sometimes, and global early-stop behavior. Cover strict date-format round trips and resource-valued JSON on both optimized base validators and delegated subclass execution.

Cover query-shape isolation, raw PDO binding identity, Stringable normalization, unsupported boolean and date candidates, exact hits, proven absence, scalar-only known presence, ambiguous fallback, and execution-local fallback memoization. Pin the two-stage batcher's chunking and query counts, case and representation mismatches, distinct array-count safety, connection and unique-exclusion boundaries, callback delegation, verifier restoration, and the rule that one uncertain candidate cannot disable batching for safe siblings.

Verify that only a leading built-in exclusion can be pre-evaluated, earlier validation failures remain visible, and resolved non-excluding rules preserve presence batching. Exercise all five exclusion forms, nullable and sometimes flags, malformed parameters, mutation-capable rules, and descendant suppression. Pin dependent wildcard substitution through explicit capture keys, including literal numeric segments, multiple captures, escaped-dot attributes, nested arrays, and memoization boundaries so planning cannot drift from ordinary validation.

Move the shared presence-batching integration suite under the database workflow's package convention and expose it through thin MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLite wrappers. Keep all test bodies in one abstract case so every driver runs the same contract without duplication. Expand real-driver coverage for typed-column failures, early-stop transaction safety, case-insensitive and coercive equality, raw string-versus-integer bindings, DateTime grammar conversion, database DISTINCT behavior, callback fallback, chunking, and grouped query counts.

State beside the date_format rule that matching is exact, including the difference between padded and unpadded PHP date tokens. Keep the correction in the canonical validation documentation rather than adding a bug-fix entry to the Laravel porting guide or package README.

Define porting-guide entries by whether a Laravel porter must take action, and explicitly exclude ordinary bug fixes, internal implementation differences, contract-preserving performance work, incidental drift, and narrow edge cases unless they change that work. Remove vague examples such as hard boot failures, silent semantic differences, and package-specific details. Keep the guide's existing high-signal, concise, canonical-documentation requirements intact.

Record the signed-off design for rule canonicalization, compiled execution, conservative preflight, ordered exclusions, database-semantic presence batching, strict date formats, benchmark integrity, and four-driver integration coverage. Keep the load-bearing correctness and performance invariants beside the implementation steps so future upstream validation ports can preserve Laravel's public behavior while adapting safely to Hypervel's cached, long-lived worker architecture.

Keep this branch focused on the validation implementation and its dedicated validation plan. The general components audit ledger now lives canonically on branch 0.4, so retaining a branch-owned copy would duplicate ownership and leave unrelated remediation guidance in the validation change set.

Treat any attribute containing non-scalar parsed parameters as one delegated unit so compiler prepasses cannot invoke user objects before Laravel rule order reaches them. Cache scalar-parameter metadata on delegated checks, retain meta rules for the subclass execution path, remove redundant compiler guards, and cover nested arrays, objects, resources, nulls, and base/subclass compilation boundaries.

Preserve native scalar candidates until the database connection binds them, and leave Stringable and date/time values on the ordinary verifier path so preflight cannot run user code or bypass grammar-owned conversion. Key precomputed and memoized facts by complete query shape and PDO binding identity, reject unsupported lookup conditions without coercion, and add regression coverage for mixed numeric identities, unsupported candidates, and execution-local fallback facts.

Keep the exact-base optimized loop aligned with Laravel rule order while routing subclasses through their protected extension hooks, using cleaned keys only for messages and internal placeholder keys for rules, data, and exclusions. Activate pre-evaluated exclusions only when execution reaches them, use an execution-local set to avoid quadratic base-validator scans, defer stale or non-scalar outcomes, and retain Laravel behavior for absent sometimes attributes and later exclusions. Make presence planning fail closed around unresolved parents and unsafe prefixes, skip non-presence wildcard plans before reading their values, and cover global early-stop, escaped-dot fields, mutators, repeated passes, database bindings, and base/subclass parity.

Construct optimized and legacy validators through one helper that installs the same concrete database presence verifier used in production. This keeps the CPU scenarios query-free while ensuring optimized timings include the real no-presence planning gate, and adds deterministic fluent-rule and typeless-size workloads for the newly compiled paths.

Bring the focused plan in line with the implemented parser, compiler, ordered preflight, exclusion, executor, presence-fact, database-matrix, and benchmark architecture. Record the post-implementation and final-review defects at their owning design boundaries, keep the exact database verification commands, and mark the fully verified acceptance checklist complete after whole-branch peer signoff.

Reuse the parsed rules in the delegated fallback.

compile() parses every rule, then calls compileAllDelegated($rules) when any parameter is non-scalar. compileAllDelegated() calls ValidationRuleParser::parse() again for each rule.

Two effects follow. First, array-form rules and object rules are parsed twice, because the parser caches only string rules. Second, a Stringable rule is cast to a string twice, so a non-idempotent __toString() can produce a rule string that differs from the one used for the non-scalar scan.

Pass the already-parsed rules into the delegated builder to remove the second parse.
♻️ Proposed refactor
     public static function compile(array $rules, array $numericRules): AttributePlan
     {
         $plan = new AttributePlan;
         $parsedRules = array_map(
             static fn (mixed $rule): array => ValidationRuleParser::parse($rule),
             $rules,
         );
 
         foreach ($parsedRules as [, $parameters]) {
             if (array_any($parameters, static fn (mixed $parameter): bool => ! is_scalar($parameter))) {
-                return self::compileAllDelegated($rules);

             }
         }
Then split compileRuleDelegated() into a thin wrapper that parses and a compileParsedRuleDelegated() that accepts the parsed pair, so compileAllDelegated() keeps its current public behavior.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 1 included review per hour; 0 remain after this review.

Reject non-finite numeric sizes before preflight exponent inspection so PHP 8.5 never string-casts NAN speculatively. Normalize NAN and infinities to their historical string representations at the shared size boundary. Inline and delegated comparisons therefore preserve the same Brick Math exceptions and messages without emitting warnings. Cover NAN, positive infinity, and negative infinity through both exact-base and subclass execution paths.

The base compiler parses every rule before deciding whether a non-scalar parameter requires an all-delegated plan. Reuse those aligned parsed pairs when emitting the fallback instead of parsing the uncacheable attribute a second time on every validation execution. Keep compileAllDelegated() unchanged for validator subclasses and keep the parsed-pair invariant private to compile(). Add a regression covering the callback-bearing presence-rule path and proving the original rule is stringified once and retained for delegated execution.

Replace the completed plan's superseded instruction to reparse all-delegated fallback rules. Document that the base compiler feeds its existing parsed pairs directly into delegated emission while the subclass entry point keeps its public signature and standalone parsing behavior.

binaryfire · 2026-08-23T12:32:35Z

@coderabbitai Follow-up changes are now pushed:

RuleCompiler::compile() now reuses its existing parsed rule pairs when a non-scalar parameter forces the all-delegated fallback. This removes repeated per-request parsing for those uncacheable attributes without changing compileAllDelegated() or exposing the parsed-pair invariant publicly.
Added a regression covering the supported callback-bearing presence-rule path. It verifies that the rule is stringified once and retained as the original delegated rule.
Fixed the PHP 8.5 warning for non-finite numeric values by normalizing them at the shared validation boundary before any float-to-string coercion.
Updated the implementation plan to match the final compiler flow.

We intentionally kept the test-local numeric-rule fixtures. Validator::$defaultNumericRules is protected state, while RuleCompiler::compile() accepts the numeric set as an explicit input; exposing production internals solely to remove those small unit-test fixtures would add a worse test-only API. Runtime coverage exercises the real validator-owned defaults.

The focused validation suite, targeted static analysis, and formatting checks are green.

@binaryfire The follow-up changes address the reported concerns.

RuleCompiler::compile() reuses the existing parsed pairs in the all-delegated fallback.
testDelegatedFallbackReusesParsedRules() verifies one string conversion for the callback-bearing Exists rule and preserves DelegatedCheck::$originalRule.
ensureExponentWithinAllowedRange() normalizes NAN, INF, and -INF before downstream conversion.
The regression covers compiled and delegated validation paths.
The test-local numeric-rule fixtures are appropriate. Exposing Validator::$defaultNumericRules only for unit tests would widen the production API without benefit.

I found no additional issue in the inspected follow-up changes.

Timestamp: 2026-08-23T12:33:15.617Z
Learning: In `src/validation`, `Validator::$defaultNumericRules` is protected validator state, while `RuleCompiler::compile(array $rules, array $numericRules)` intentionally receives numeric rules as an explicit input. Unit tests may use local numeric-rule fixtures instead of exposing validator internals through a test-only production API.
