Release 1.0.9

Nidus 1.0.9 is a measured framework-construction performance and engineering quality patch release. Public APIs remain compatible with 1.0.8; the retained changes remove avoidable allocations and cumulative cloning without changing request, provider, routing, or OpenAPI semantics.

Route Construction

• Controller mount prefixes are normalized once per controller build instead

of once for every stored route.

• Route parameter normalization writes into one pre-sized String instead of

allocating a temporary string per segment, collecting a Vec, and joining a second output string.

• Existing root, trailing-slash, repeated-slash, braced-parameter, and empty

parameter behavior has focused regression coverage.

• In the final local 150-sample Criterion comparison, 32-route controller

construction improved from 24.195-24.331 us to 15.885-16.102 us, a 34.1%-35.8% improvement interval.

OpenAPI Schema Registration

• Schema registration now inserts directly into the document's owned

BTreeMap instead of cloning every previously registered schema on each addition.

• The existing first-registration-wins behavior for duplicate schema names is

preserved by a focused integration test.

• A new 64-schema construction benchmark improved from 177.04-179.30 us to

14.324-14.425 us, a 92.0%-92.1% improvement interval in the final local 150-sample comparison.

Evidence Boundary

The benchmark figures above are local aarch64-apple-darwin, Rust 1.96.0 construction-time measurements, not universal request-throughput claims. A request-context in-place refresh experiment produced inconsistent results and regressed the metrics-enabled production stack by 9.8%-15.2% in the final repeat; it was reverted and is not part of 1.0.9.
