Summary

Type inference was resolving nested types on object arguments even when those types cannot affect a function’s return type. For a direct function call with no spreads, skip resolving a non-generic argument when it is a raw object with no call signature, and keep an Unknown placeholder so the argument position is preserved.

This cuts work on createEnv-style option objects. Generic arguments, callbacks, and spreads are still resolved.

Result

In my team's large monorepo, saw about 10% perf increase.

Test Plan

Added module-graph tests that skip unused object-argument members, still resolve shapes that can affect the return type, and re-infer when the callee changes. Added a createEnv-like type-inference bench.

I used GPT 5.6 Sol on Ultra to scan my large production monorepo for ways to improve performance. It then helped me with profiling, designing, implementation, testing, benchmarking, and validation.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Direct inferred-function calls now resolve only arguments relevant to generic inference or callable parameters. Non-callable raw objects use Unknown, while spread calls and non-function callees retain the existing path. Tests cover dependency selection, positional and spread arguments, inferred results, and invalidation. A createEnv-like benchmark measures binding type inference.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 191d4

This optimization skips resolving unused members of certain object arguments while preserving generic, callback, and spread handling. The change is likely mergeable, but the documentation should match the narrowed condition and the generic inference test should assert the resulting type to reduce bounded correctness risk.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the rustdoc contract.

The text says both types must be callable. Lines 414-422 resolve every argument except a non-callable raw object paired with a non-generic parameter. Document that condition instead.

As per coding guidelines, comments must explain current behaviour and contracts.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the direct generic result.

This test only confirms that infer_local_type ran. It can pass if identity<T> resolves its dependency but returns an incorrect type. Assert that direct.value is inferred as string.

Proposed test
-    let _ = infer_binding_type(
+    let direct = infer_binding_type(
         &db,
         BindingTypeInput::new(
             &db,
             index_module,
             binding_range_by_name(&db, index_module, "direct"),
         ),
-    );
+    )
+    .expect("direct result must be inferred");
+    let value = find_member_type(&db, direct, "value")
+        .expect("direct generic value must be inferred");
+    assert!(is_inferred_string(&db, value));

As per coding guidelines, all code changes must include appropriate correctness tests.
