| ## 2026-05-18 - [Optimize string concatenation in interpreter] | ||
| **Learning:** Using `format!("{a}{b}")` for string concatenation in the interpreter causes unnecessary allocations and overhead due to the `Display` trait implementation. | ||
| **Action:** Implement a `to_string_fast` method on the `Value` enum to return a `std::borrow::Cow<'_, str>` for fast path string conversions. Use `String::with_capacity` and `push_str` with the `to_string_fast` outputs to concatenate strings efficiently. |

Semantic regression risk: mixed-type + now depends on non-equivalent stringification.
Line 7567 and Line 7574 switched coercion to to_string_fast(). That changes observable output if to_string_fast() differs from the previous Display path (e.g., Null text rendering), so Text + Null / Null + Text can produce different user-visible strings after this optimization.
Please align Value::to_string_fast() with Display semantics before using it here for mixed-type concatenation.
Suggested fix (root cause in src/interpreter/value.rs)
pub fn to_string_fast(&self) -> std::borrow::Cow<'_, str> {
match self {
Value::Text(s) => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed(s.as_ref()),
Value::Number(n) => std::borrow::Cow::Owned(n.to_string()),
Value::Bool(b) => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed(if *b { "yes" } else { "no" }),

+ Value::Null => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed("nothing"),
Value::Nothing => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed("nothing"),

Value::Null fast-path changes observable string output
Line 165 returns "null", but Display for Value::Null returns "nothing" (Line 376). Since concatenation previously relied on Display, this changes runtime behavior for expressions involving null.
Proposed fix
pub fn to_string_fast(&self) -> std::borrow::Cow<'_, str> {
match self {
Value::Text(s) => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed(s.as_ref()),
Value::Number(n) => std::borrow::Cow::Owned(n.to_string()),
Value::Bool(b) => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed(if *b { "yes" } else { "no" }),
- Value::Null => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed("null"),
+ Value::Null => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed("nothing"),
Value::Nothing => std::borrow::Cow::Borrowed("nothing"),
// For complex types, just fallback to format!

Pull request overview
Optimizes string concatenation paths in the interpreter by avoiding format! overhead when one side is already Text, introducing a fast conversion helper for common Value variants.
Changes:
- Add
Value::to_string_fast()returningCow<str>for cheap conversions of primitives/text. - Update
Interpreter::addstring-concat branches to useString::with_capacity+push_strinstead offormat!("{a}{b}"). - Document the optimization in
.jules/bolt.md.

🔴 to_string_fast returns "null" for Value::Null but Display returns "nothing" — breaking backward compatibility
to_string_fast at src/interpreter/value.rs:165 returns "null" for Value::Null, but the Display implementation at src/interpreter/value.rs:376 returns "nothing". The old code in add() used format!("{a}{b}") which invokes Display, so concatenating a Null value with a string would produce e.g. "prefixnothing". The new code calls to_string_fast() instead, so the same operation now produces "prefixnull". This silently changes the observable behavior of WFL programs, violating the backward compatibility rule in AGENTS.md ("Backward Compatibility: Sacred. Never break existing WFL programs.").
