fix(runtime): enforce the three shape rules the single property-read path needs (synthetic class ids aliased live ShapeIds)

[proggeramlug]

Lane 1 of the single-fast-path property-access work. The emitted read path wants to prove everything it needs from ONE compare of the ShapeId word at receiver + 4. Three invariants have to hold for that. Two did not.

Rule 1 — every descriptor change changes an ordinary object's ShapeId

• clear_object_descriptors made no shape call at all. It is a BULK removal (every key goes back to writable/enumerable/configurable), so a cache primed while the object was frozen kept serving the frozen answer. It now transitions, and removes through the owner index instead of two O(table) retain scans. That also retires the HANDLE_HAS_DESCRIPTORS latch, which existed only to skip those scans — and with it the silent no-op the function performed for a heap owner while no handle had ever taken a descriptor.
• Seven raw remove() calls on the descriptor tables lived outside descriptor_state.rs (array index redefine ×2, defineProperty ×3, handle expando ×2). They skipped the shape transition and left the owner index — the authoritative answer to "which keys does this owner have" — naming keys the tables no longer held, so accessor_descriptor_keys_for_obj kept reporting deleted accessors. All seven now go through clear_accessor_descriptor / clear_property_attrs.
• transfer_descriptor_owner is correctly shape-free and now says so: it re-keys ONE object whose allocation moved (array growth), and a transition there would retire caches for a shape the object still has. Made safe for any caller: if the replacement cell does not already carry the source's descriptor flag, the new owner is routed through the funnel rather than silently acquiring descriptors behind an unchanged header.
• The funnel's scope is documented where it is implemented: typed arrays return early and every non-GC_TYPE_OBJECT kind fails the obj_type test, so for those receivers the descriptor flag is never set and the shape is never transitioned. Both halves matter to the read path, in opposite directions.

Rule 2 — nothing but the shape allocator mints into the ShapeId range

SYNTHETIC_CLASS_ID_BASE was 0x8000_0000: the ShapeId floor. Both counters started there, so synthetic class id #1 is shape #1.

class X extends someFunction resolves its parent through dynamic_value_class_id → function_class_id to a synthetic id, and js_object_alloc_class_dynamic_parent writes that id into +4, where is_shape_id accepts it and shape_record_by_id answers with an unrelated live shape's ordered keys and live-inline-slot bound. set_object_keys_array_with_live reads exactly that word back as the predecessor shape before stamping.

Synthetic ids move to [0xC000_0000, 0xFFFF_0000) — a band no other producer uses (codegen ids start at 1; the reserved builtin bands are 0x7FFF_FF00..=0x7FFF_FFFF and 0xFFFF_0000..) — and are minted through one bounded allocator that parks at the end instead of wrapping into the builtin ids. A const _: () = assert!(...) makes the disjointness a compile error to undo.

The existing pin has_property_ic::armed_ids_cannot_alias_a_class_id asserted this for hand-written constants only, never for the live allocator, so it could not fail on this.

Rule 3 — no pointer-tagged non-object cell holds a ShapeId-range value at +4

• new Int8Array(2**31) wrote capacity = 0x8000_0000, the first ShapeId the process ever mints. The element cap moves from u32::MAX to i32::MAX, matching new Uint8Array(n), new ArrayBuffer(n) and Buffer.alloc(n), which already stop there. Behaviour note: new Int8Array(n) / Int16Array / … for n in [2**31, 2**32) now throws RangeError: Array buffer allocation failed instead of attempting a ≥2 GiB allocation. That is a real (if unreachable-in-practice) reduction relative to the old u32::MAX check, taken deliberately: the alternative is a capacity word the read path cannot tell from a live shape.
• A Promise's +4 is struct padding, and neither gc_malloc nor the arena zeroes reused memory, and Rust does not guarantee writing implicit padding — so a Promise born at a dead shaped object's address inherited its LIVE ShapeId. The padding is now a named, zeroed field; the struct layout is unchanged.
• Debug assertions at the capacity writes for Array (alloc + grow), Map, Set, Buffer, TypedArray and NativeTypedView, and a table in the new object/shape_rule3.rs classifying all 21 GC kinds by what they store at +4. A test walks 1..=GC_TYPE_MAX against it, so a new kind cannot be added without a verdict, and a second test pins exactly which kinds still keep the GC-kind fence alive (ArrayHeader, BufferHeader, DateCell, MapHeader, NativeTypedViewHeader, SetHeader) so shrinking that set is a visible change.

IC counters

PERRY_IC_DIAG already counts property-get IC misses by 17 causes plus a prime split; nothing counted hits, because a hit never reaches the runtime. hot_diag::ic_note_hit + the js_ic_diag_note_hit emitted entry point add the hit side behind the same arming, so a later lane removing a guard can tell "reads now hit" from "reads still fall to the miss handler and are merely correct-but-slow".

Tests

crates/perry-runtime/src/object/shape_rules_tests.rs — one test per descriptor mutator (set_property_attrs, set_property_attrs_batch, clear_property_attrs, set_accessor_descriptor, install_fresh_accessor_property, clear_accessor_descriptor, set_builtin_accessor_descriptor, set_builtin_property_attrs, clear_object_descriptors), plus the transfer contract, the funnel's non-object scope, and the two rule-2 pins. object/shape_rule3.rs's test module covers rule 3, including real cells allocated through their production paths.

cargo test -p perry-runtime -- --test-threads=1: 4121 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored.

Under the default parallel runner this crate has ~10 failures on pristine upstream/main as well (child_process::reactor::lifecycle_tests ×3, pty::platform_impl ×2, a rotating subset of json::stringify_* / json_tape::cached_read): they assert exact deltas of process-global counters (prop_plan epoch, ROOTED_READS) while other threads move them, and all of them pass single-threaded. One of that family, class_meta_registry::dense_parent_tests::re_registering_the_same_edge_flushes_nothing, is fixed here by taking global_side_table_test_lock, which every descriptor-mutating test already holds.

cargo fmt clean; cargo clippy -p perry-runtime --all-targets reports no new warnings (the crate carries ~880 pre-existing ones, none in the files touched here).

Consequence for the emitted read path

• The OBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORS test is now removable for GC_TYPE_OBJECT receivers. The prime side (ic_miss.rs) already refuses a descriptor-bearing receiver, a descriptor transition mints a fresh semantic generation that no plain add-key path can reach, and with rule 1 closed any later install changes the shape so the cached token stops matching. The one deliberate exception — the Array-subclass named-prefix arm — carries its own per-key accessor proof.
• The GC-kind load is not removable yet. Six kinds can still put a ShapeId-range value at +4 (pinned by the rule-3 test), and for every non-GC_TYPE_OBJECT receiver the funnel sets neither the flag nor a shape, so nothing about their descriptor state is shape-carried.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime adds ShapeId collision checks and invariant tests, moves synthetic class IDs outside the ShapeId range, repairs descriptor cleanup paths, initializes Promise padding, tightens typed-array limits, and reports inline-cache hit counts.

Changes

Object model invariants

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shape-word guards and validation crates/perry-runtime/src/object/shape_rule3.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/array/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/buffer/header.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/map.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/set.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/typedarray/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/promise/mod.rs	The runtime classifies GC payload words, checks capacity values in debug builds, caps typed-array lengths at i32::MAX, and zeroes Promise padding.
Synthetic class-ID allocation crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/native_get.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/object_ops/prototype.rs	Synthetic class IDs use a bounded range above the ShapeId range. Allocation now uses a saturating compare-exchange loop, and callers use the shared allocator.
Descriptor cleanup and shape transitions crates/perry-runtime/src/object/descriptor_state.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/handle_expando.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/array_object_ops.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/object_ops/define_property.rs	Descriptor removals use cleanup helpers that update owner indexes and caches. Bulk clearing updates the property-plan epoch and shaped receiver state.
Invariant coverage crates/perry-runtime/src/object/shape_rules_tests.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_meta_registry.rs	Tests cover descriptor shape transitions, descriptor ownership, class-ID separation, unstamped objects, synthetic parents, and process-global test-state serialization.

Inline-cache diagnostics

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Inline-cache hit accounting crates/perry-runtime/src/hot_diag.rs	Inline-cache diagnostics now record total, via-ways, and per-site hits. The diagnostic entry point remains inactive when instrumentation is disabled, and rendered output includes hit counts and percentages.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 65d34

The remaining issues primarily affect diagnostics and exceptionally rare exhaustion behavior; current property reads retain their safety fence, so merge risk is bounded but corrections are advisable.

Emit js_ic_diag_note_hit on both IC hit paths. The entry point exists, but the current code does not show a caller from generated MRU or way-hit edges. Without those calls, hits, hits_in_ways, and per-site hit counts remain unrecorded while miss diagnostics continue to work.

Sort displayed sites by total reads.

The new hits column is hidden for a hot site that has few or no misses when 40 other sites have more misses. Sort by hits + misses so the truncated table shows the sites with the most IC traffic.

Proposed fix

-        rows.sort_by_key(|s| std::cmp::Reverse(s.misses));
+        rows.sort_by_key(|s| std::cmp::Reverse(s.hits.saturating_add(s.misses)));

Handle synthetic-ID exhaustion before publication.

When alloc_synthetic_class_id() returns 0, js_set_function_prototype and synthetic_class_id_for_function still insert 0 into FUNCTION_CLASS_IDS. js_object_create then keeps class_id == 0 and takes its null-prototype path, so Object.create(proto) loses its prototype chain. Return Option<u32> from the allocator, or stop every registry and object-publication path when allocation returns 0. Preserve 0 at the FFI boundary if it already represents failure.

Keep the GC-kind fence and correct the Rule 3 invariant. The emitted property-read path checks GC_TYPE_OBJECT before it loads receiver + 4, so this is not a current shape-only misoptimization. However, RULE3_KINDS still lists six RangeReachable pointer-tagged kinds, and debug_assert_not_shape_id_word is not enforced in release builds. State that a ShapeId comparison proves an ordinary object only after the GC-kind fence. Do not remove that fence until every RangeReachable kind has a release-enforced bound or representation that prevents ShapeId-range values.

[proggeramlug]

Landed via merge train 247 (#10853), released as v0.5.1626 — merge commit c8a22705d7.

#10824 and #10828 rode together because #10828 is stacked on it — its first two commits are #10824 — so carrying both was the dependency rather than a choice.

The train also carries the two gate fixes the work needed:

• descriptor_state.rs 2042 → 1783, via an owner-lifecycle split. 264 lines moved, not the minimum 42: a 42-line shave leaves the file at exactly 2000 with zero headroom, which is a cap failure deferred by one commit. The boundary was chosen to leave the file's tracked handle-floor and gcheader-cast sites in place, so no allowlist entry was needed.
• shape_rule3.rs's raw-handle site converted through with_mut_ptr, not ceiling'd — and a ceiling would not have worked anyway: the total was already 907 against a baseline of 906, so the total rule fires the moment the per-module rule stops. Back to 906.

Two further failures surfaced at lint on the first cycle, both fallout from the split rather than the PRs' logic, both fixed here: string_payload_access_inventory went 350 → 351 (shape_rule3.rs's test helper open-coded the StringHeader payload offset; routed through crate::string::string_data), and gc_rekeyed_key_tables reported rewrite_descriptor_owner as both an unclassified site at its new path and a stale entry at the old one. The second was re-pointed rather than re-classified — the moved body is byte-identical apart from pub(super), verified by diff, so the custody argument carries over.

Validation: lint 6-of-6 with no unexpected failures, 6 unit suites with an empty failing set, both compiler-output suites at failed_workloads=[] with no transient excused, repsel_census rc=0, and a 185-fixture gap sweep across seven areas weighted to the descriptor/shape surface, every area asserted live, zero unexplained regressions.

Closing here rather than merging — a train lands the commits directly, so the source PR has nothing left to merge.
