fix: reuse compiled templates in thread-safe engine - #7690
Conversation
Neo - PR Security ReviewNo exploitable security vulnerabilities in the delta — verification state is propagated to cached copies only after successful signing, and all execution-scoped security objects remain stripped by the existing cache-safety helpers. What Neo reviewed

In `@pkg/templates/compile.go`:
- Line 315: Update the workflow preparation around tplCopy.CompiledWorkflow so
it deep-clones or rebuilds the workflow and its executers before calling
ApplyNewEngineOptions(options). Ensure per-execution options are applied only to
the isolated workflow instance, never through the cached value or shared
executers, preventing callback, writer, and rate-limiter state from leaking
across executions.
- Around line 349-350: After template.compileProtocolRequests succeeds in the
cached-template path, call template.Executer.Compile() and return its error
before returning the executor; preserve the existing cached-template return
behavior only after compilation completes successfully.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not retain per-call execution objects in the shared cache.
With caching enabled, the first execution stores a template compiled from these ephemeral options. ExecutorOptions.Copy retains Output and RateLimiter by reference. The cached template, request options, and original executor therefore retain the first call's callback closure and rate limiter until ThreadSafeNucleiEngine.Close().
Store a cache-safe compiled representation without execution-scoped options and executers. Rebuild and attach these objects only to the per-call template copy.

In `@pkg/protocols/http/http.go`:
- Line 609: Remove the reset of r.CompiledOperators in the compiled-cache
global-matcher registration path, ensuring HTTP operators are compiled before
updateRequestOptions registers request.CompiledOperators in GlobalMatchers.
Extend TestParseCompiledCacheRegistersGlobalMatcherFromCache to verify the
registered matcher contains a non-nil compiled operator.
In `@pkg/templates/compile.go`:
- Line 241: Update the caching flow around cacheSafeCompiledTemplate so it
stores an immutable pre-compilation request definition rather than the request
after execution options are applied. Ensure fields such as Payloads and Fuzzing
mode/type populated or overwritten by Request.Compile are excluded or reset
before caching, while preserving the existing updateRequestOptions behavior for
execution.
- Line 364: Update the singleflight result handling around parseFromSource so
the leader returns its result even when result is nil, avoiding a second
parseFromSource call and duplicate global-matcher operator registration; only
apply the shared-result path when appropriate.

Proposed changes
Fixes #7686.
ThreadSafeNucleiEngine.ExecuteNucleiWithOptsCtxcreates per-call ephemeral execution objects, but it previously forcedDoNotCache: true. When callers run the same template set concurrently, each call rebuilds its own compiled-template store, so live heap grows with the number of concurrent SDK executions.This PR lets thread-safe executions reuse the engine compiled-template cache by default while still honoring
DisableTemplateCache().Implementation details
The fix is intentionally more than just flipping

Reproduced on current
devwith a localhttptesttarget and 500 synthetic HTTP templates tagged for the same per-call filter. ConcurrentExecuteNucleiWithOptsCtxcalls rebuilt compiled templates independently, with peak heap rising as concurrency increased:After this change, concurrent executions share the engine compiled cache. The regression coverage verifies that four concurrent executions of the same template leave one compiled-cache entry, while per-call callbacks and execution options remain isolated.
