Copilot AI commented Jan 20, 2026

Enables the previously commented-out Miri job to detect undefined behavior and memory safety issues in diskann-quantization.

Changes

  • Non-blocking execution: continue-on-error: true prevents Miri failures from blocking the pipeline
  • Parallel execution: Runs alongside test-workspace jobs (depends on basics), minimizing critical path impact
  • Simple command: Uses the original command cargo +nightly miri nextest run --package diskann-quantization

CI Pipeline Impact

fmt + clippy (3 min) → basics → test-workspace + test-workspace-features + miri (parallel)
                                  ├─ 10-20 min
                                  ├─ 10-20 min  
                                  └─ 5-15 min [non-blocking]

Expected total CI time: ~23 minutes (well under 60-minute requirement). Miri adds zero time to critical path unless it becomes the longest-running parallel job.

Can these bounds be set up with something like

let row_range = if cfg!(miri) {
    127..128
} else {
    0..128
};

and such to avoid the repitition?

We can probably skip this test entirely when running under miri. There is a dedicated Miri test just after this that validates the indexing.

This one we cannot short circuit with Miri. The distances_in_place algorithm needs to be tested for a range of sizes to validate memory accesses.

I'd be tempted to say that we can skip all of test_double_hadamard when running under Miri. It doesn't execute any unsafe code on its own.


// Miri is extremely slow, so we skip the larger tests there.

As with test_double_hadamard, I'm tempted to say we can skip test_padding_hadamard altogether under Miri.

We can almost skip the MinMax entirely under Miri because it does not run unsafe outside of decompression. Since the indexing used in the decompression is checked in debug builds - it might be fine to just skip.

The tests in slice all need to run under Miri unfortunately.

We can probably skip the min-max quantizer tests under Miri.

Maybe change the upper bound to like 48 when under Miri but still do the sweep? That seems reasonable quick.

for num_centers in 47..48 {
test_process_into_impl(num_chunks, num_centers, 2, &mut rng);
}

This file doesn't contain unsafe on its own, so it's probably fine to either skip miri on these test, or do what you did here on a reduced set. If the latter, we should run at least a few more intermediate values than just the last since corner-case handling needs to be covered. I'd say pick a few odd-ball sizes in between 0 and 48, for example.
