both paths decode response.bodyBytes using UTF-8 before JSON parsing, preserving
consistent behavior regardless of the Content-Type charset. Keep the existing
isolate.decodeBytes flow while ensuring the non-isolate jsonDecode path consumes
the UTF-8-decoded body.

- Around line 81-98: Update the documentation for decodeBytes to state that
TransferableTypedData.fromList copies the source bytes before isolate hand-off,
while only the transfer is constant time; preserve that the original Uint8List
remains readable for the PostgrestBuilder fallback.
- Around line 100-111: The encode method should fall back to inline jsonEncode
when Isolate.run fails to send an otherwise JSON-encodable custom object, such
as one containing a ReceivePort, Finalizer, or FFI Pointer. Catch the isolate
messaging ArgumentError, retry jsonEncode(json) inline, and preserve propagation
of other encoding failures; add coverage for both representative
unsendable-value cases.

`YAJsonIsolate` was the type the clients named in their public API. That tied them to one implementation, and on web to one that spawns no isolate at all, so the parameter both misnamed what it takes and left no way to process JSON any other way. `YAJsonIsolate` now implements `AsyncJsonCodec`, a four method interface (`decode`, `decodeBytes`, `encode`, `dispose`), and the clients take that interface instead. ### Changes - `yet_another_json_isolate`: new `AsyncJsonCodec` interface, implemented by both the io and the web `YAJsonIsolate`, and exported from the package. - `SupabaseClient`, `PostgrestClient` and `FunctionsClient`: `isolate:` is now `jsonCodec:` and takes an `AsyncJsonCodec`. The same rename runs through `PostgrestBuilder`, `PostgrestQueryBuilder`, `PostgrestRpcBuilder`, `RawPostgrestBuilder`, `SupabaseQueryBuilder` and `SupabaseQuerySchema`. - `postgrest` and `supabase_functions` export the interface, so the parameter is reachable without depending on `yet_another_json_isolate` directly, which the old parameter was not. `supabase` and `supabase_flutter` re-export it in turn. The concrete `YAJsonIsolate` stays unexported, so replacing the default implementation later is not a breaking change for the flagship package. - Ownership is unchanged: a codec passed to a client belongs to the caller and is never disposed by it. A client that was not given one creates the default codec and disposes it with itself. `SupabaseClient` hands its codec to the rest and functions clients it builds, so one codec serves all three. - `MIGRATION.md`: an entry for the rename. - `sdk-compliance.yaml`: the interface registered under `supporting_symbols`. ### Why an interface rather than the concrete type Since #1746 there is no long-lived worker isolate: small payloads are processed inline and large ones on a short-lived isolate spawned per call. So sharing an instance buys nothing measurable and there is nothing left to supervise, which was what the old parameter was for. What survives is substituting an implementation, for example a native parser or a wrapper that measures the default one, and that needs a contract rather than a concrete class. Keeping `YAJsonIsolate` out of the exports of `supabase` and `supabase_flutter` also keeps `yet_another_json_isolate` out of their public API, so it can be replaced without a breaking change. Applications that want to name the default implementation can depend on the package directly. This takes a different direction from #1750, which forwards the concrete type through `Supabase.initialize` instead. ### Verification - `flutter analyze` clean across the workspace, `dart format` clean, and `dcm analyze packages` clean, which is the command CI runs. - `packages/supabase` (143 tests), `packages/supabase_functions` (55), `packages/supabase_flutter` (77), `packages/yet_another_json_isolate` and `packages/supabase_common` (109) suites pass, as do the `packages/postgrest` tests that do not need a local stack. The postgrest suites that do need one were not run. - New tests: postgrest routes decoding through a supplied codec, leaves it for the caller to dispose, and disposes the one it created itself; `supabase_functions` routes both encoding and decoding through a supplied codec; `SupabaseClient` leaves a supplied codec alone on `dispose()`; `supabase_flutter` implements the interface through its own export, so the export chain is covered. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Added the public `AsyncJsonCodec` API for asynchronous JSON encoding and decoding. - Added optional `jsonCodec` support across Supabase, PostgREST, Functions, and initialization APIs. - Shared codecs are consistently reused across related client operations and managed according to ownership. - Realtime messages now use typed payloads with asynchronous encoding and decoding. - Added a shared typed sort direction for storage queries. - **Documentation** - Updated migration guidance for codec usage, Realtime payloads, client headers, builders, and sorting. - Added guidance for customizing and timing JSON codec operations. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Performance improvement for
yet_another_json_isolate, plus a benchmark to keep it honest. Resolves the copying and serialization overhead of the long-lived isolate design.What is the current behavior?
YAJsonIsolatekeeps one long-lived isolate per instance and routes everydecode/encodethrough it. This has three hidden costs:On top of that, both postgrest and the functions client decode the HTTP body bytes to a
Stringon the main isolate before handing it over.What is the new behavior?
The long-lived isolate is gone. The public API is unchanged (
initialize/disposeare kept as compatibility no-ops with the same contracts), and internally:Isolate.run, whose result is handed back throughIsolate.exitwithout copying. Concurrent calls run in parallel.decodeBytes(Uint8List)API takes HTTPbodyBytesdirectly: the bytes move to the isolate viaTransferableTypedDatawithout copying, and the UTF-8 and JSON decoding steps are fused so the intermediate string never materializes on the calling isolate. The postgrest and functions clients now use it.encodepicks its path with a cheap bounded size estimate (depth-capped, so cyclic input still reachesjsonEncode's own cycle error on the isolate).Benchmarks
A benchmark now lives in
packages/yet_another_json_isolate/benchmark/(dart run benchmark/yet_another_json_isolate_benchmark.dart). It measures Supabase-shaped payloads (lists of row objects, 0.4KB to 5MB) and reports both per-operation latency and the longest main-isolate event-loop stall, so a change that improves throughput by blocking the main isolate is visible.Headline numbers on an M-series Mac (p50, old vs new):
bodyBytes(SDK path)Full benchmark output, old implementation (long-lived isolate)
Measured with the same harness semantics (stall monitor with event loop yields between iterations). The
bodyBytesrows areutf8.decodeon the main isolate followed byisolate.decode, which was the SDK's decode path.Full benchmark output, new implementation
The
decodeBytesrows replace thebodyBytesrows above: no main-isolate UTF-8 decode, bytes transferred without copying.The 1MB rows are noisy run-to-run (GC pressure from holding the payload), but consistently equal or better. During design, inline-everything was also measured and rejected: it is the fastest in wall time but stalls the main isolate for 18-22ms on 5MB payloads, which is exactly the jank this package exists to prevent.
Behavior notes:
asyncdependency is no longer needed and was removed.YAJsonIsolate.decodeBytesis registered insdk-compliance.yaml; the local symbol check passes.Additional context
The web variant gains the same
decodeBytesAPI with fused decoding and compiles underdart compile js.Summary by CodeRabbit
