Peak memory stays O(window). `fetchAnnouncementsStream` and `scanAnnouncementsStream`'s public shapes are unchanged; the old windowed algorithm is retained as `scanAnnouncementsStreamSequential` for benchmark comparisons. See [`docs/chains/stellar-streaming-scan-pipeline.md`](./docs/chains/stellar-streaming-scan-pipeline.md) — measured 36% wall-clock reduction on the 10k-announcement canned benchmark. + ### Changed - **Stellar Chain Module Cryptographic Audit Fixes**: Applied all findings from independent cryptographic audit (issue #55).

While a +window was being scanned, the source (typically {@link fetchAnnouncementsStream} paging +through Soroban RPC) sat idle — no fetch for the next page could start until the current +window finished. On a cold scan, that serializes RPC latency and CPU decrypt cost that +could otherwise overlap. + +## Chosen design + +`src/chains/stellar/scanner/pipeline.ts` adds a generic `pipeline(source, capacity)` +helper: a bounded producer/consumer queue. A background pump keeps pulling from `source` +up to `capacity` items ahead of what the consumer has read. Because starting the next pull +from `source` kicks off its I/O immediately, that I/O runs concurrently with whatever +synchronous work the consumer is doing on already-buffered items — Node's event loop keeps +an in-flight `fetch()` progressing in the background while the main thread executes CPU +work on the previous batch. + +`scanAnnouncementsStream` now wraps its `source` in `pipeline(source, window)` and scans +each item as it's pulled from the pipeline, instead of prefetching a window strictly before +scanning any of it: + +```ts +const piped = pipeline(source, windowSize); +for await (const ann of piped) { + // scan ann immediately; the pipeline is already fetching ahead in the background +} +``` + +The pump pauses once `capacity` items are buffered, so an adversarially fast source paired +with a slow scan still can't grow memory past O(window) — the same bound the old +windowed implementation had. + +`fetchAnnouncementsStream`'s public shape is unchanged: it's still a plain async generator +that yields one announcement at a time. `scanAnnouncementsStream`'s signature is also +unchanged. The old windowed algorithm is kept as `scanAnnouncementsStreamSequential`, +exported alongside `scanAnnouncementsStream` for benchmark comparisons, matching how +`scanAnnouncementsLegacySharedSecretTag` is retained for the view-tag-batching benchmark. + +## Cancellation and errors + +Breaking out of the consumer's `for-await` loop calls `.return()` on the pipeline, which +calls `.return()` on `source` in its `finally` block — the same cancellation contract the +old implementation had, verified by the existing `scanAnnouncementsStream` cancellation +test. Errors thrown by `source` propagate to the consumer once any already-buffered items +are drained. + +## Benchmarks + +The benchmark harness lives at `test/chains/stellar/bench/scan.bench.ts`, in the "Stellar +streaming scan pipelining" section. It mimics `fetchAnnouncementsStream`'s paging with a +mock source that pays a fixed page latency (15ms) per 1,000-announcement page, then +compares: + +1. `scanAnnouncementsStreamSequential` — window-then-scan, no overlap. +2. `scanAnnouncementsStream` — pipelined fetch+scan. + +Run it with: + +```bash +pnpm exec vitest bench test/chains/stellar/bench/scan.bench.ts --run +``` + +On this development container, the 10k-announcement canned dataset reported: + +| Dataset | Before: sequential window | After: pipelined | Speedup | +| -------------------- | ------------------------: | ---------------: | ------: | +| 10,000 announcements | 537.14 ms | 343.50 ms | 1.56x | + +That's a 36% reduction in wall-clock time, clearing the 30% target.
