+`npm run benchmark:source-scale` generates its fixture outside the repository so 50,000 lines of synthetic source are not tracked. The default topology is 50 pages plus 450 route-owned imported modules. Generation is excluded from timing; fresh-process samples separately report source reads, reachable-graph discovery, source compilation, clean production build, compiler-result and deploy digests, output files/bytes, cache counters, and peak RSS. `ROUTES`, `MODULES_PER_ROUTE`, `FILLER_LINES`, `WARMUPS`, and `RUNS` may reduce or expand the fixture without changing the default acceptance floor. `TARGET_ROOT` measures another checkout; `BASELINE_ROOT` alternates that checkout with the current tree and requires identical deploy output.

+The maintained 2026-08-13 comparison used Node 24.14.0 and an Intel Core i5-9500 Linux x64 host, one warm-up, and seven alternating fresh-process samples against clean `v0.8.44`. A narrow fast path skips Kudzu semantic transformation for 450 plain `.ts` modules whose runtime edges are exclusively resolvable relative TypeScript imports or exports; all other modules retain the existing transformer. Compile median fell from 2,323.9 ms to 1,413.2 ms (39.2%) and clean-build median from 3,325.3 ms to 2,382.4 ms (28.4%); every paired sample improved. Compile peak-RSS median fell from 571.2 MiB to 552.6 MiB, while build peak RSS was 570.9 MiB versus 568.8 MiB. Compiler scratch fell from 7,328,390 to 1,971,061 bytes. Both targets emitted the same 50 static HTML files, 10,980 bytes, and deploy SHA-256 `e107d78a7f55bc8a1af0ea6e53efeffa19b3d44d21c892484d103fa346e7ba7b`.

 Kudzu 0.8.44 changes compiler-only naming for action-private Context state and setters. The maintained Context browser fixture retains the same emitted concrete state operations and CRUD behavior while a same-named consumer local remains ordinary static content. No browser runtime module or public API changed, and no new performance claim is made.

 # Kudzu Releases
 
+## 0.8.45 - Plain TypeScript fast path
+
+Kudzu 0.8.45 reduces large-project compiler work by sending proven plain `.ts` modules through TypeScript transpilation and relative ESM path rewriting without running Kudzu's TSX semantic transformer.
+
+### Changed in 0.8.45
+
+- The fast path is limited to `.ts` files whose runtime imports and exports are resolvable relative TypeScript modules.
+- TSX, package imports, static assets, unresolved edges, and all uncertain module shapes retain the existing Kudzu transformer.
+- `npm run benchmark:source-scale` deterministically generates 500 reachable modules and supports alternating baseline/candidate measurements with deploy-output equivalence checks.
+- Compiler counters report the number of plain modules selected.
+
+### Output and performance
+
+- Seven alternating samples against clean `v0.8.44` reduced compile median from 2,323.9 ms to 1,413.2 ms (39.2%) and clean-build median from 3,325.3 ms to 2,382.4 ms (28.4%) on the maintained source-scale fixture.
+- Compiler scratch decreased from 7,328,390 to 1,971,061 bytes and compile peak-RSS median decreased from 571.2 MiB to 552.6 MiB.
+- Both targets emitted the same 50 HTML files, 10,980 deploy bytes, and SHA-256 digest. No browser runtime or public API changed.
+
+### Validation
+
+- `npm run check`, `npm test`, and `npm run test:package` pass with all 209 tests and 160 generated pages.
+- A reduced deterministic source-scale run remains in the standard suite.
+- The maintained benchmark alternates target order and rejects any deploy digest, file-count, page-count, or byte-count difference.
+
+### Upgrade
+
+```bash
+npm install @kudzujs/core@^0.8.45
+```
+
 ## 0.8.44 - Collision-free Context actions
 
 Kudzu 0.8.44 removes a compiler-only naming restriction from relative Context-hook actions: Provider state and setter fields needed privately by an action may now share names with ordinary consumer locals.

@@ -141,6 +141,7 @@ This is an incremental evolution of the current repository:
 - [x] P0.10 ModuleIR Reference Unification is complete in `0.8.37`. ModuleIR and ComponentAnalysis v2 assign deterministic slots to symbols, signals, handlers, bindings, derived values, effects, keyed blocks, imports, owners, specializations, states, refs, and IDs. State, capture, import, effect, collection, parent/child, specialization, and row edges use structural slots or ModuleSymbol records while readable names remain codegen/debug metadata. A fail-closed pre-codegen validator rejects malformed slots, unsupported versions, duplicate exports, broken reciprocity, and ownership cycles; focused JSON round-trip checks and all 198 tests pass without changing browser runtime behavior.
 - [x] P0.11 RouteBuildRecord and Artifact Graph is complete in `0.8.38`. Each rendered route records RouteIR, capability facts, route-entry paths, styles, and exact handler/effect references. Build orchestration derives Handler ESM, Worker, package-client, and chunk closure from those edges; serialized HTML/plan `includes()` searches, formatted effect keys, and parallel route-fact/entry arrays are removed. Focused malformed-reference and JSON round-trip checks plus the standard suite preserve the exact 173-file deploy digest and bytes.
 - [x] P0.12 Deep RouteIR and CapabilityIR Validation is complete in `0.8.39`. RouteIR v1 validates state/parameter identity, commands, captures, effects, bindings, conditions, keyed-list ownership, and JSON safety before artifact selection. RouteBuildRecord checks concrete capability reciprocity, and CapabilityIR validates standalone implications plus exact projection from route records before codegen. Identity caching avoids repeated validation of immutable contracts; all 203 tests and byte-identical deploy checks pass without runtime or accepted-source changes.
+- [x] The P1 source-scale benchmark foundation is complete after `0.8.44`. `npm run benchmark:source-scale` generates 500 reachable modules, 50,550 TS/TSX lines, and 50 routes outside the repository, then measures source read, graph discovery, compile, clean build, deterministic output, cache counters, and peak RSS in fresh processes. Its paired mode alternates another checkout with the current tree and rejects deploy-output differences. The first measured specialization keeps Kudzu transformation for TSX, package imports, assets, and unresolved edges while plain relative-only `.ts` modules receive path rewriting alone; seven alternating samples against `v0.8.44` reduced compile median 39.2% and clean-build median 28.4% with identical deploy output. A reduced deterministic run remains in the standard suite.
