      "P3 because it provides a significant ~3x speedup for a developer-facing tool, saving substantial contributor time during fuzz coverage auditing.",

  "summary": "Optimizes `deterministic-fuzz-coverage` by checking whether raw profile data (`.profdata`) matches byte-for-byte between runs before invoking `llvm-cov show`. Because identical profdata implies identical coverage reports, the expensive report rendering step is skipped for deterministic inputs and only executed if a difference is detected.",
  "problem": "Running `llvm-cov show` for every single fuzz input across two runs is the primary bottleneck of `deterministic-fuzz-coverage`, spending significant developer time rendering identical coverage reports that are immediately discarded.",

   "open_concerns": [],
   "resolved_concerns": [
    "maflcko suggested simplifying `check_diff` to avoid repetitive code and path handling, which the author adopted.",
    "jeanpablojp noted that builds missing coverage mapping flags now pass determinism rather than failing fast, which maflcko clarified was acceptable for a dev-only tool."

The PR has been tested and approved by multiple contributors with review refactorings adopted."
