Pages that render plan entities read git history during the build, and the cost grows with the repository's history rather than with the content being built. In this repository, two tests that build real plan content take ~17s on a shallow clone (96 commits) and ~170s on the full history (3,473 commits):

extractBatchHistory (plugins/plan/src/history.ts, called from the plan pipeline's aggregate hook in pipeline.ts): one git log over the plan directory, then one git show <hash>:<file> per commit that touched each plan file. That is 3,669 git show processes for this history, at ~3ms each: ~11s per extraction. .plan-history-cache.json only helps on a warm second run in the same checkout, never in CI or a fresh clone.packages/content/src/timestamps.ts: git log --name-only over the whole history, ~3.8s, plus ~0.4s for the created-date pass.These account for ~15s per build. The ~170s the tests take means the work runs several times per test, or a path not measured here dominates. That is part of what the fix has to establish.
The pipeline test also reads the real repository's history through cwd: '.', so its runtime depends on the clone it runs in, not on its fixtures.
git fetch --unshallow), run npx vitest run packages/content/test/plan-site-dogfood-real.test.ts plugins/plan/test/pipeline.test.ts.Build time tracks the plan content, not the length of the repository's history. Both tests pass on either clone.
~17s shallow; on full history both time out at 30s and take ~165–176s to finish.
