Problem and value

Fixes #754. Review follow-up: the regression also directly checks the request's accessible aria-label timing. The updated Waterfall suite passes 7/7.

Waterfall's fixed two-decimal formatter turns measured nonzero durations below 0.005 units into zero. Preserve up to three significant digits for values below 0.01; extremely small values use compact scientific notation. This applies consistently to duration, axis, and accessible timing labels.

Stability impact

Local label formatting for small values. Measured timing, bar geometry, unit selection and normal two-decimal formatting remain unchanged.

Tests run

  • Reproduced 0.004 ms becoming 0 ms on dev 61425f56.
  • node --test test/waterfall-rendering.test.mjs: focused candidate suite covers 0.004, 0.00004, and 1e-8 alongside both public examples and showcase artifact checks.
  • Final-head remote CI required. No browser/perceptual acceptance is claimed; corrected numerical text is asserted directly.

Generated artifacts

archify.zip regenerated with official Node 22. Existing example timings exceed the changed threshold and are checked by the focused suite.

📝 Summary

Reviewed base 1e8105682d3190f9626267073a99d524d9b73e8a and head 36d22b619269613e61222e46ca434b9a2f19290d. The renderer now preserves nonzero values below 0.01 with up to three significant digits; other values keep two-decimal formatting. This prevents small timing labels from rounding to zero without changing measured timing or bar geometry. The author reports focused test coverage and archive regeneration, but this checkout’s head contains only the archive refresh. Those validation claims are not independently confirmed here. No CI result is available at the checked revision. Browser and perceptual acceptance are not established.

Walkthrough

The waterfall renderer now formats nonzero values below 0.01 with up to three significant digits. Values below 1e-6 use precision rounding; other values in that range use locale formatting. Regression tests cover three small positive durations, rendered and accessible labels, distinct positive tick labels, and a nonzero layout label.

68-80: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the accessible timing label directly.

report.rows[0].label comes from the layout JSON and checks the visible row label. It does not inspect aria-label. A regression can keep the visible duration while emitting 0 ms in the accessible label and still pass.

Suggested fix
     const html = fs.readFileSync(result.output, 'utf8');
-    assert.match(html, new RegExp(`${String(duration).replace('.', '\\.')} ms`));
+    const durationText = `${String(duration).replace('.', '\\.')} ms`;
+    assert.match(html, new RegExp(durationText));
+    assert.match(html, new RegExp(`data-node-id="request"[^>]*aria-label="[^"]*${durationText}[^"]*"`));

Review follow-up addressed in 1154c1d: the fractional timing regression now directly inspects the request aria-label in addition to visible/layout labels. Waterfall tests pass 7/7. The final CI retry retains the same code and archive tree.

Independent review against dev 0c5550a6e5c7c3fc42ab6f2ed2c96d223461dbe3: no blocking finding for the zero-origin fractional-duration problem in #754. The small-value branch fixes visible, accessible and axis text without changing the recorded timing.

Official Node 22.23.2: exact head and latest-dev source integration each pass 8/8 Waterfall tests without skips. The unchanged dev renderer with the new test fails the fractional case (7 pass, 1 fail). Both public examples remain byte-identical HTML. Additional probes cover us/ms/s units, zero, the 1e-6/0.01 thresholds and normal values. Browser inspection at 1280×900, Classic/light, motion paused confirms readable 0.004 ms and 1e-8 ms duration labels and distinct ticks on the original zero-origin cases. The package renderer matches source.

A non-blocking offset-precision limitation is recorded inline; it predates this PR and should be a separate follow-up rather than expanding this fix. Integration with #750 has a real conflict in number(): retain both this small-value branch and #750's large-value overflow guard. A temporary integration of #750, #752 and #756 on current dev, with those two behaviors preserved, passes all 21 Timeline/Waterfall tests without skips. This was local review evidence, not a pushed branch or rebuilt final ZIP. No approval or merge was performed.

Non-blocking follow-up: absolute tick precision still collapses a narrow range at a nonzero origin. With measured ms timing start: 0.0091, duration: 0.000004, the duration is now correctly 0.000004 ms, but all nine ticks display 0.0091 ms and the accessible start/end display 0.0091–0.0091. On base those ticks were all 0.01 ms and the duration was zero, so this is a remaining pre-existing limitation, not a regression or a blocker for #754's zero-origin reproduction. A separate axis formatter could derive precision from the tick interval (or use an explicit relative origin); the current three-significant-digit formatter should not be described as guaranteeing distinguishable ticks for every offset.
