A store of a million statements would be a million loose files: slow to walk, wasteful on disk, and one open per read.
What it adds:
Compaction.Store::compact gathers small loose objects (up to 16 KiB compressed) into a pack with a sorted index. It merges every pack smaller than twice the new one into it, so packs stay few.
A manifest names the packs in use. The pack and its index are made durable first, then the manifest, and only then are the loose files and merged packs removed. A crash never loses an object.
One compactor at a time. It runs under a lock while readers and writers carry on.
Readers never miss an object mid-compaction. They check loose objects, then the packs they've loaded, then re-read the manifest. A long-running process also re-reads the manifest every ten seconds, to let go of packs another process retired.
Packed objects behave like loose ones.contains and the "already written" check know about packs. A batch never trusts a stale cached pack to skip a write; it re-reads the manifest first, once per batch, under the store's collection lock.
When compaction runs.Store::compact_if_due compacts once about 8,000 small objects are loose; the server calls it every minute. origin gc compacts on demand.
Platform support.origin-platform gains ReadAt (pread), so threads can share one open pack, and DurableWrite::stage_with, which streams a file instead of holding it in memory.

Note
Written by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, reviewed by GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 over three review rounds (via T3 Code).
Added pack-file storage for small objects. Each pack stores compressed object data and a sorted index of object IDs and locations.
Added a manifest that tracks active packs. Compaction writes the pack data and index durably before publishing the manifest, then removes packed loose objects and retired packs.
Added Store::compact and Store::compact_if_due. Compaction uses an exclusive lock, removes duplicate loose objects, and merges smaller packs. Automatic compaction is triggered when the estimated loose-object count exceeds 8,192.
Updated object lookup and reads to check loose objects and packs. Packed objects now count as present in contains and batch-write checks. contains now returns Result<bool, StoreError>.
Added Store::gc to compact before removing stale temporary files. Stale-temp traversal skips the packs directory.
Platform APIs
Added the ReadAt trait for positioned reads and implemented it for Linux and macOS. Platform now requires ReadAt.
Added DurableWrite::stage_with and StagedFile::write_all for incremental writes to staged files.
Benchmarks and tests
Added a packs benchmark target. It measures writing, compaction, reading, and missing-object checks across loose storage and stores with 1, 4, or 16 packs.
Added tests for pack creation and merging, manifest reload, compactor locking, failure recovery, and concurrent reads. Added positioned-read conformance coverage.

Walkthrough
Adds pack-file storage and compaction to Store. Store can read packed objects, check packs during writes, and compact before stale-file cleanup. The platform crate adds positioned reads and streamed durable writes. New benchmarks cover loose and packed stores.
Adds ReadAt for offset-based exact reads and requires it for Platform. Adds StagedFile and DurableWrite::stage_with for buffered writes. Linux and macOS implement ReadAt; conformance tests cover concurrent positioned reads and end-of-file errors.
Pack formats and compaction apps/origin-src/src/store/packs.rs
Adds pack and index formats, manifest validation and reload, and compaction. Compaction packs loose objects up to 16 KiB, merges eligible packs, and publishes durable pack data before the manifest. Tests cover packing, recovery, and concurrent reads.
Store pack integration apps/origin-src/src/store.rs
Store initializes shared pack state and searches packs for reads and object-existence checks. Batch writes check loaded packs. gc compacts before removing stale temporary files, while ordinary stale-file traversal skips the packs directory.
Adds benchmarks for batch writes, compaction, sorted reads, final-object reads, and absent-object checks using loose storage and packed fixtures with 1, 4, or 16 packs.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 4cc0f
Stores created before this change have no packs directory, so compaction and origin gc can fail on them until the directory is created. The benchmark leaks temporary stores and overbuilds fixtures, which wastes disk and time but does not affect production. The multi-pack benchmark fixture now keeps its packs separate.

- Around line 57-73: Update the `packed` fixture so the first pack receives the
remainder and each subsequent pack uses its halving size, preventing compaction
from merging the intended packs. Add an assertion in `packed` that the resulting
pack-file count equals `packs`.
Review comments at @apps/origin-src/src/store/packs.rs:
- Around line 434-441: Update Store::lock_compactor to create the packs
directory if it is missing and durably sync its parent before opening the lock
file. Preserve the existing error propagation and lock acquisition behavior.

A store of a million statements was a million loose files: slow to
walk, wasteful on disk, and one open per read.
Store::compact gathers the small loose objects into a pack (the
compressed encodings back to back) with a sorted index, and merges into
it every pack smaller than twice its size, so packs stay few and each
object is rewritten a logarithmic number of times. A manifest names the
packs in use: the pack and index are written durably, then the
manifest, and only then are the loose files and merged packs removed,
so a crash never loses an object and the next compaction removes what
a crash left. One compactor runs at a time, under a file lock, while
readers and writers carry on. Reads look in the loose objects, then in
the packs loaded, then reload the manifest, so they never miss an object
a compaction is moving. They also reload it every ten seconds, so a
long-running process lets go of the packs another one retired.
Store::gc compacts and removes stale temporary files, leaving the packs
directory to the compactor. Store::compact_if_due compacts once about
8,000 small objects are loose, estimated from one shard as git does, for
a server to call as it writes.
Everything that checks or lists objects knows about packs: contains,
the batch's "already written" check, which also syncs the packs
directory so the manifest naming the object is durable before anything
refers to it, and reads.
origin-platform gains ReadAt (pread), so threads share one open pack,
and DurableWrite::stage_with, which streams a staged file instead of
holding it in memory.
