Build-time work stays out of requests

The existing asset writer emits output identified by a hash of its content. The Worker reads that output through static assets.

The code-snippets design brief14 keeps Git reads and highlighting in build-time work. Request-time work receives static output. It does not resolve Git objects or start Shiki.

The proposed check verifies that neither the snippet package nor Shiki enters the startup bundle. The existing startup budget limits:

Check the modules included in the bundle, as well as its size, to verify which packages it includes.

Checks before writing output9 finish before assets are written. Pinned sources9 require no generation-time network fetch.

See the glossary for build-time work and request-time work.

  5. Pin the source and report drift separately. A pinned excerpt stays fixed while a separate diagnostic compares it with HEAD.

    This boundary keeps build-time work local.
