Availability below refers to source-scan at product 524fa07e.\n\n## V-PERF-02 — Repeated invariant sorting\n\nRepeated invariant sorting. It examines repeated work, allocation, traversal, retention, and scheduling cost.\n\n### Availability\n\nNot available in source-scan. There is no source-scan flag to activate this condition.\n\nA separate [experimental source preview](https://docs.swift-analyzer.com/guides/experimental/) recognizes a limited local pattern for this condition:\n\n```text\n\"$ANALYZER\" experimental-scan <path> --rule performance.repeated-sorting --format json\n```\n\nUse the terminal from [Installation](https://docs.swift-analyzer.com/get-started/installation/), with ANALYZER set, and replace `<path>` with a Swift file or directory. This preview is not compiler-backed source-scan coverage.\n\n### Example and action\n\nIllustrative pattern only. This is not a complete runnable package or a reproduced source-scan result. Helper APIs and omitted context must be supplied by the application.\n\n```swift\nfor request in requests {\n    respond(request, using: records.sorted(by: order))\n}\n```\n\nConfirm the operation is on a relevant path and measure with representative input. Preserve evaluation order, laziness, errors and memory behavior when changing the algorithm.\n\n```swift\nlet sortedRecords = records.sorted(by: order)\nfor request in requests { respond(request, using: sortedRecords) }\n```\n\n### Intended analysis\n\nIntended reasoning: Relate a repeated operation to its input size, consumption and cost assumptions. An intended cost warning needs the loop bounds and actual collection behavior; syntax alone is not a measured runtime regression. Required evidence: cost, multiplicity, collection, allocation, and lifetime facts\n\n### Assumptions and unknown\n\nThe relevant facts must be admitted for the selected immutable build world. Unknown aliases, external effects, unsupported source forms or incomplete consumers can prevent a conclusion. Availability in this workflow is stated above; the illustration does not expand that availability.\n\n### Evidence and interpretation\n\nThe target catalog describes the intended condition. It is not evidence of an active source-scan diagnostic.\n\nHistorical evidence at 4558458d: recovery-required (historical qualification is incomplete and needs further evidence). That evidence has not been requalified for this product revision.\n\n[How we validate checks](https://docs.swift-analyzer.com/concepts/validation/) explains the evidence boundary. [Foundations](https://docs.swift-analyzer.com/concepts/foundations/) separates method assumptions from implementation claims.\n","anchors":["repeated-invariant-sorting","V-PERF-02","availability","example-and-action","intended-analysis","assumptions-and-unknown","evidence-and-interpretation"]}
