.github/workflows/perf.yml creates two paths at the repo root:

  • perf-results/, the aiperf --output-artifact-dir for both the streaming and non streaming runs
  • perf-input.jsonl, the 300 entry dataset generated inline by the "Generate perf input dataset" step

Neither is in .gitignore, so running the perf lane locally leaves two untracked paths behind, and the generated dataset is easy to commit by accident. In CI it does not matter, since the results are uploaded as a build artifact rather than committed.

One observation I left out of the diff, because it is a question about intent rather than a fix. The existing block above reads:

# Performance test results (keep example report and README)
benchmark/perf/results/*
!benchmark/perf/results/.gitkeep
benchmark/perf/example_report.md

benchmark/perf/ is not in the tree and has no commits against it, and inside the block .gitkeep is the only path actually kept: the example report is ignored rather than kept, and there is no README exclusion. If that block is reserving the path for a planned sub harness, it should stay exactly as it is and I would not touch it. If it is a leftover, I am happy to remove it in a follow up commit here. Your call, I did not want to guess at intent in the same PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Excluded performance benchmark outputs and input files from version control.

perf.yml creates perf-results/ and perf-input.jsonl at the repo root.
Neither is ignored, so a local run of the perf lane leaves two untracked
paths behind, one of them a 300 line generated dataset.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The .gitignore file now excludes generated performance benchmark outputs: perf-results/ and perf-input.jsonl.

Changes

Performance output ignore rules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ignore generated performance outputs
.gitignore
Adds ignore rules for the perf-results/ directory and perf-input.jsonl file.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1c593

The PR prevents generated performance artifacts from appearing as untracked files, but the new patterns also match same-named paths in subdirectories and could hide unrelated artifacts. This is a bounded low-severity risk; the change is mergeable with owner awareness, with root-anchored patterns advisable.

Poem

I hop through clean benchmark trails,
While output clutter softly fails.
Results stay out of tracked delight,
Input files vanish from sight.
A tidy burrow feels just right!

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Anchor these rules to the repository root.

The PR objective targets only root-level perf-results/ and perf-input.jsonl. Without a leading /, Git also ignores matching paths in nested directories. Use /perf-results/ and /perf-input.jsonl to avoid hiding unrelated artifacts.
