…lass instances (foundation, gated off) `class X extends Array` instances are ordinary objects whose indexed elements and `length` are shape-carried properties, so every push/pop/[i] is a property-shape transition (≈25% of the wolf-ecs cycle: `Archetype` is its own `packed` array). This adds the backing store the redesign routes those operations to — nothing is routed yet, and the gate (`PERRY_ARRAY_SUBCLASS_ELEMENTS=1`) is off by default. * `ObjectMeta.elements`: `*mut ArrayHeader` bits (0 = none) at the end of the record, zeroed by both meta-ensure paths; a traced child edge exactly like `spill` — enumerated as a second explicit meta slot by the child-slot iterator (`gc/layout.rs`) and visited/rewritten in the ObjectMeta arm of `gc/layout_slot_visit.rs`. * `array/subclass_elements.rs`: the gate, `elements_of`, `set_elements_head` (barriered meta-slot store), `install_elements` (exact-length hole array, owner rooted across the allocations, idempotent). * `js_array_subclass_init` installs the store under the gate instead of the shape-carried `length` property. * Test: the edge survives a forced-evacuation minor GC — rewritten to the moved inner array, values intact, holes still absent. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019WVcWKmYsUBnnFB7nBgbBJ
`array_subclass_fast_length{,_with_ic,_raw}`, `_index_get{,_raw}`,
`_index_set{,_raw}`, `_push_one{,_raw,_u31_raw}` and `_pop{,_raw}` — the
entries `js_array_length/get/set/push/pop_f64` and the typed-feedback and
polymorphic fallbacks reach for an object receiver — now operate on the
inner array when the instance has one: length is the inner length, reads
are in-bounds non-hole slots (a hole declines to the same prototype-chain
fallback as before), in-bounds writes store into the array, the appending
index and `push` append with the owner rooted across the re-allocating
push and the new head written back through the barriered meta slot, `pop`
is the inner pop. Frozen/sealed/non-extensible receivers and hole-creating
writes decline to the generic path exactly as the shape-carried form does.
The `_with_ic` length entry publishes no IC words for such a receiver (the
words describe inline slots it does not have).
Test: 40 appends from an exact-capacity-0 store across a forced-evacuation
minor GC, reads/writes/pop through both entry families, and the dense
shape machinery never learning the instance.

…ents-backed Array subclass through every object entry point With the store in place, the ordinary-object entry points now ask `array/subclass_elements.rs` first for a canonical array-index key or `length` on an elements-backed instance: * get by name (`js_object_get_field_by_name`, the object tail, the IC miss): `length` and in-bounds non-hole elements; a hole falls through to the ordinary lookup, which reaches the prototype chain since the shape carries no index keys; * set by name (`js_object_set_field_by_name`, the object tail): in-bounds store, append, hole-creating extension (`js_array_set_f64_extend`), and `length` writes with Array semantics (truncate; extend with holes; RangeError otherwise) — owner rooted across the re-allocating cases, head written back through the barriered meta slot; no index key ever becomes a shape property; * `hasOwnProperty` / `in` (own hit answers, an absent index continues to the prototype walk), `delete` (index → hole, `length` non-configurable), `getOwnPropertyDescriptor` (data descriptors; `length` non-enumerable, non-configurable), `Object.keys` (present indices ascending, then the shape's keys) and `getOwnPropertyNames` (indices, `length`, keys) as thin wrappers over the shape-only walkers; * `JSON.stringify` serializes the instance as an array (IsArray is true); iteration/spread/concat use the live inner array instead of a snapshot; * `array_object_set_length` and the Array-exotic length maintenance route to the store; * exotic operations leave the representation for good — `defineProperty` on an index or `length`, `defineProperties`, freeze/seal/preventExtensions, `setPrototypeOf` call `deopt_to_shape`, which materialises every present element and `length` as shape-carried properties and detaches the store, so the long tail keeps running on the existing machinery. Also fixes the array-path dispatch in `getOwnPropertyNames` (PerryTS#8953): it was gated on `Array.isArray`, which is true for a subclass instance whose cell is an `ObjectHeader`, and dereferenced a null cleaned array pointer; the gate is now "the cell is a GC_TYPE_ARRAY". Tests: the funnel end to end (get/set/append/extend/truncate, hasOwn/in, delete, key order, descriptors, no index key in the shape) and freeze deopting to the shape-carried form with identical reads afterwards.

…rop the constant the gOPN fix left unused Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019WVcWKmYsUBnnFB7nBgbBJ
…ubclass list its elements first Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019WVcWKmYsUBnnFB7nBgbBJ
The object-backed `[i]` read tier (`arrlike.ic.*`) and the `.length` tier (`plen.ic.*`) now probe an elements-backed instance first: the object's meta word, then `ObjectMeta.elements` (word 12, const-asserted in the runtime), then — for the read — the inner array's header/bounds and slot (a hole or an out-of-bounds index goes to the complete dispatcher), or the inner `length` word. A probe miss is the shape-carried form and keeps the shape/family IC exactly as before, so nothing changes for it beyond two loads and two branches. IR tests pin both probes (the word-12 load, bounds+load blocks, the fallthrough to the shape IC). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019WVcWKmYsUBnnFB7nBgbBJ
…nit; runtime: installed fill is non-enumerable
`class X extends Array { constructor(...a) { super(...a) } }` lowered the
spread form through the registered-ancestor path, which has no entry for
the native Array parent — the instance ended up with no `length` and no
Array surface at all (`new X(2).length` → undefined, `JSON.stringify(x)`
→ `{}`), while the direct `super(n)` form ran `js_array_subclass_init_args`.
The spread arm now hands the materialized argument array's elements to
the same init.
Under the elements gate the installed `fill` method is marked
non-enumerable so it no longer leaks into `Object.keys` / `for..in`
(PerryTS#8953's third finding).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019WVcWKmYsUBnnFB7nBgbBJ
…irect arm does; runtime: fast dense/elements index set before the keyed store; move the elements hot-entry helpers out of subclass.rs * The spread-form Array arm keyed on `async_parent`, whose filter rejects a heritage that also carries `extends_expr` — which `extends Array` does — so the arm never fired and the constructor still went through `js_super_construct_apply`. Resolve the parent as the direct arm does (`extends_name`, lexically shadowed heritage excluded, no user class named Array). * `js_object_set_index_polymorphic` tries `array_subclass_fast_index_set` (dense or elements store) before the keyed store, which mints a key string per store — on wolf-ecs `packed[sparse[x]] = last` that was an allocation per swap under the elements gate. * `subclass.rs` was 2023 lines: the elements helpers now live in `subclass_elements.rs` (`ValidatedObjectReceiver` and the tail predicate are `pub(super)`); the `plen` probe reuses the existing `meta_offset` so the codegen header-size callsite census is unchanged. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019WVcWKmYsUBnnFB7nBgbBJ
…lain-array loop over its inner store With the store installed the instance has no dense SHAPE layout, so `js_packed_arraylike_loop_guard` declined every versioned loop and the reads fell back to string-keyed property lookups — 6x slower on the wolf-ecs twins (perf: `from_utf8` 11.8%, by-name get 15%, `build_dense_layout` rebuilt per call 4.9%). The guard (and the live-revalidation entry) now resolve such a receiver to its inner array and run the ordinary kind-1 admission on it: length/capacity/descriptor and raw-f64 proofs are the plain-array ones, the live address handed to the loop is the inner array's, and each revalidation re-resolves the store from the receiver — so a re-allocating append inside the body side-exits on the stale facts exactly as a grown plain Array does. The by-name elements intercept also gained a one-byte pre-filter (a leading ASCII digit or `l`, length <= 10) so ordinary named properties on these receivers no longer pay a UTF-8 decode and an index parse. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019WVcWKmYsUBnnFB7nBgbBJ
… the subclass method funnel Marking the installed `fill` non-enumerable put a property DESCRIPTOR on every instance, so `OBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORS` was set — and the codegen class-field inline guard rejects such receivers, sending every `arch.change` / `arch.mask` read to `js_object_get_field_ic_miss` (gdb on the gate-on wolf-ecs twin: the miss key is `change`, called from `_archChange`). That was the whole 6x gate-on regression, not the elements representation. An elements-backed instance now installs no own `fill` at all — which is also what node's object shape looks like (`fill` lives on `Array.prototype`) — and `array_object_method` serves the inherited `fill` through `js_array_fill_generic`. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019WVcWKmYsUBnnFB7nBgbBJ
`js_object_get_field_ic_miss` refuses to prime the PIC for a receiver that has own descriptors unless a named-prefix token proves the declared fields sit at fixed slots. `js_array_subclass_init` installs `fill` with a descriptor, so every Array-subclass instance needs that token — and the builder derived it from the dense SHAPE layout, which `build_dense_layout` cannot produce for an elements-backed instance (it locates `length` by name, and the store owns `length`). The PIC was therefore never primed and every declared-field read missed forever: 17.8M misses on `change`/`sset`/`mask` in a 2 s wolf-ecs run (per-key census), which is the whole remaining gate-on regression. An elements-backed instance has NO numeric keys, so its named prefix is the entire shape — the strongest form of the same proof. The builder now takes `(element_base, dense_prefix_len, length_slot)` either from the dense layout (shape-carried form, unchanged) or synthesises "no numeric tail" for the elements form, where the declared-prefix comparison and the accessor check remain the authority and a class that declares its own `length` field is excluded.

Restrict the elements probe to GC_TYPE_OBJECT.
Lines 458-460 send every non-Array receiver into the ObjectMeta probe. A BigInt64Array or BigUint64Array first misses the typed-array tier because kind > 8, then reaches this branch. Lines 462-481 can interpret its typed-array payload as a nonzero ObjectMeta pointer and dereference it. This can crash instead of using js_packed_arraylike_index_get.
Branch to object_miss_label unless gc_type == GC_TYPE_OBJECT before loading elem_meta_i64.

Reload the receiver after field initialization.
js_array_subclass_init_args returns the GC-managed receiver in result. apply_field_initializers_recursive can collect after Line 297. A moving collection can invalidate result, and Line 303 then returns a stale pointer. Reload the bound this value from ctx.this_stack after the field initializers.
As per coding guidelines: “A GC-managed value's root store must dominate every subsequent site that can collect.”

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
This assertion is vacuous and does not check what the comment states.
Rust binds && tighter than ||, so the closure evaluates k == "0" || (k == "1" && false), which reduces to k == "0". The k == "1" term is dead code. The remaining check duplicates the exact-vector assertion at Line 243, which already proves the key list is ["1", "3", "tag"].
The comment claims the shape never learned an index key, but js_object_keys returns store-backed indices by design, so this entry point cannot prove that property. Check the shape key list directly instead, or delete the assertion and rely on Line 292.

Unrooted NaN-boxed values held across allocating calls in subclass_elements.rs. Each site reads or allocates a NaN-boxed value that can be a heap pointer, keeps it in a plain Rust local, and then performs an allocating call before consuming it. Rust stack locals are not GC roots and raw pointer locals are not pins, so a copied-minor triggered by the allocating call evacuates the value and the stored bits become a stale from-space address. prepend_index_entries at lines 514-517 shows the correct pattern: root with scope.root_nanbox_f64(...) and reload with get_nanbox_f64().

Based on learnings: "if you hold an object/value represented as a NaN-boxed f64 and you then perform an allocating or user-code-invoking operation ... root the value using crate::gc::RuntimeHandleScope and reload it from the rewritten handle (e.g., via get_nanbox_f64()) before any subsequent reuse."

Reject elements-backed receivers with prototype overrides before converting them to kind 1.
The kind-1 nonnumeric clone loads the slot directly and converts TAG_HOLE to undefined; it does not call js_packed_arraylike_index_get. A hole can therefore bypass the prototype chain and return the wrong value. Add the object_has_prototype_override(raw as usize) check before resolving the inner array.

Preserve the Array-subclass receiver during JSON serialization.
Serializing elements directly bypasses toJSON on the subclass receiver. It also does not cover backed subclasses nested in a normal array, because stringify_array_depth dispatches those values as GC_TYPE_OBJECT.

Add regressions for JSON.stringify(new X(1)), JSON.stringify({ x: new X(1) }), and JSON.stringify([new X(1)]), where X extends Array. Run the runtime test with RUST_TEST_THREADS=1.

Use a sparse representation for large lengths.
install_elements converts lengths above u32::MAX to u32::MAX, while get_by_key exposes the stored u32 length. Elements-backed and shape-carried instances therefore return different length values. The proposed len <= u32::MAX guard also permits u32::MAX: js_array_alloc_with_length_exact sets capacity to that value and initializes every slot, requiring about 34 GB. Use a stricter dense-store cutoff or a sparse allocator, then fall back to shape-carried storage.

…entation `class X extends Array` instances keep their indexed elements and `length` in `ObjectMeta.elements` (PerryTS#8966) instead of shape-carried properties, so `push`/`pop`/`obj[i]` are element operations rather than property-shape transitions. `PERRY_ARRAY_SUBCLASS_ELEMENTS=0` restores the previous representation as a bisecting kill switch. Evidence for the flip: * the whole `test-files/` corpus compiled once and run twice (the gate is a pure runtime switch): 1285 binaries, 9 output differences, every one of them nondeterministic output — random bytes, timestamps, `console.time` values, a PID in a deprecation warning, a flaky watcher fixture that fails with the store OFF — each reproducible with the switch untouched; * the Array-subclass integration suites pass with the store enabled (indexing, super-init, native member base, loop-versioned array-like, closure-capture packed loops, object array-like dispatch, interface dispatch, field-push write-back); * wolf-ecs twins on the quiet Mac, 11 alternating pairs, same binary: add/remove −11.4%, entity cycle −11.9%, 11/11 in both the 2 s and 50 ms windows. Semantics move toward node: `JSON.stringify` produces the array form, `Object.keys` no longer leaks `length`, and `sort`/`reverse`/`splice`/ `shift`/`unshift`, `length` truncation, holes and spread become node-identical (they printed the object form `{"0":…,"length":…}` before). The shape-carried form stays reachable through the kill switch, so its unit tests now pin it explicitly with `ArraySubclassRepresentationGuard`; the elements tests pin the other direction.

Evidence for the flip: * the whole `test-files/` corpus compiled once and run twice (the gate is a pure runtime switch): 1285 binaries, 9 output differences, every one of them nondeterministic output — random bytes, timestamps, `console.time` values, a PID in a deprecation warning, a flaky watcher fixture that fails with the store OFF — each reproducible with the switch untouched; * the Array-subclass integration suites pass with the store enabled (indexing, super-init, native member base, loop-versioned array-like, closure-capture packed loops, object array-like dispatch, interface dispatch, field-push write-back); * wolf-ecs twins on the quiet Mac, 11 alternating pairs, same binary: add/remove −11.4%, entity cycle −11.9%, 11/11 in both the 2 s and 50 ms windows. Semantics move toward node: `JSON.stringify` produces the array form, `Object.keys` no longer leaks `length`, and `sort`/`reverse`/`splice`/ `shift`/`unshift`, `length` truncation, holes and spread become node-identical (they printed the object form `{"0":…,"length":…}` before). The shape-carried form stays reachable through the kill switch, so its unit tests now pin it explicitly with `ArraySubclassRepresentationGuard`; the elements tests pin the other direction.

What
class X extends Arrayinstances are ordinaryGC_TYPE_OBJECTs whose indexed elements andlengthare shape-carried properties, so everypush/pop/obj[i] = vis a property-shape transition (array/subclass.rs,object/array_tail_transition.rs). This adds the alternative:ObjectMeta.elements, a realGC_TYPE_ARRAYholding the instance's elements, with every entry point routed to it.Behind
PERRY_ARRAY_SUBCLASS_ELEMENTS=1, default off — with the gate off this is a no-op (one unused meta word, one extra traced edge that is always null).ObjectMeta.elements:*mut ArrayHeaderbits (0 = none), zeroed by both meta-ensure paths, a traced child edge exactly likespill(second explicit meta slot in the child-slot iterator; visited and rewritten in theObjectMetaarm).array/subclass_elements.rs: the gate, the accessor, the barriered head write-back, installation atsuper(), and the property funnel (ElementsKey, get/set/has/delete, key/value/entry lists, descriptors,deopt_to_shape).array_subclass_fast_length/_index_get/_index_set/_push_one/_pop,js_packed_arraylike_index_get) operate on the inner array;pushroots the owner across the re-allocating append and writes the head back through the barriered meta slot.hasOwnProperty/in,delete,getOwnPropertyDescriptor,Object.keys/getOwnPropertyNames/values/entries,JSON.stringify, iteration/spread (live inner array instead of a snapshot),lengthwrites with Array semantics.definePropertyon an index orlength,defineProperties,freeze/seal/preventExtensions,setPrototypeOfcalldeopt_to_shape, which materialises every element as a shape-carried property and detaches the store. The whole semantic long tail keeps running on the existing, tested machinery.arrlike.ic.*read tier and theplen.ic.*length tier probe the store first (ObjectMeta.elementsis word 12, const-asserted in the runtime); a probe miss keeps the shape IC unchanged.Numbers (Mac mini, 11 alternating pairs, same binary, gate off → on)
Deltas are tight (±0.2%). Perry vs Node 26.5 on the same host (0.1337 / 0.1492): 3.02× → 2.71× and 2.24× → 2.01×. Construction also gets much cheaper (Linux warm-up probe: setup 15.3 → 2.2 ms, first call 13.7 → 1.3 ms).
Why it pays here: wolf-ecs's
Archetypeconstructor doesthis.sset.packed = this, so the hotpacked.push/pop/[i]run on the subclass instance itself — ~25% of the cycle was the shape-transition machinery (array_subclass_fast_push_one_validated+ the tail-transition cache +install_cache_carried_object_shape_version+dense_slot_exists+js_array_pop_f64).Two cliffs worth knowing about (both fixed here)
Gate-on was 6× slower at first. Neither cause was the representation:
js_packed_arraylike_loop_guarddemanded a dense shape layout, so every versioned loop over such a receiver declined and fell back to string-keyed property reads. It now resolves an elements-backed receiver to its inner array and runs the ordinary plain-array admission; the revalidation entry re-resolves each iteration, so a re-allocating append side-exits on the stale facts exactly as a grown plain Array does.js_array_subclass_initinstallsfillwith a descriptor, so every Array-subclass instance is descriptor-bearing andjs_object_get_field_ic_missrefuses to prime the PIC without a named-prefix token — and that token was derived from the same dense layout, whichbuild_dense_layoutcannot produce for an elements-backed instance (it locateslengthby name and the store ownslength). The PIC was therefore never primed and every declared-field read missed forever: a per-key census counted 17.8M misses onchange/sset/maskin a 2 s run. The token builder now synthesises "no numeric tail" for the elements form, with the declared-prefix comparison and accessor check unchanged as the authority.fillbehind a non-enumerable descriptor (the obvious fix for theObject.keysleak) setsOBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORS, which the codegen class-field inline guard rejects — that alone is a 6× regression. The right fix for that key is to installfillon the class prototype (where node has it); not done here.Semantics
Gate-on is strictly closer to node than today's representation. On a heavy probe (
sort,reverse,splice,shift,unshift,concat,slice,indexOf,includes,at,map,filter,reduce,join,forEach,lengthtruncation, sparse construction, spread,Array.from,Array.prototype.slice.call,JSON.stringify) gate-on matches node exactly, while gate-off prints the object form ({"0":5,"1":1,"length":2}) for every one of them.Object.keysno longer leakslength.Two pre-existing bugs fixed on the way (both reproduce on main, gate irrelevant):
Object.getOwnPropertyNameson a subclass instance segfaulted — the array path was gated onArray.isArray, which is true for an instance whose cell is anObjectHeader, and dereferenced a null cleaned array pointer (Array subclass instances: getOwnPropertyNames / for..in segfault; Object.keys leaks "length" and "fill" #8953).class X extends Array { constructor(...a) { super(...a) } }never ran the Array subclass init at all — the spreadsuperform had no Array-parent arm, so the instance had nolengthand no Array surface (new X(2).length→undefined,JSON.stringify(x)→{}).Still divergent from node, identically in both gates (pre-existing, tracked in #8953):
fillingetOwnPropertyNames,A.from([…])not populating,f.constructor === Aaftermap,b.entries()/b.keys()unimplemented on a subclass instance.Verification

Land as-is (gate off ⇒ no behaviour change), then a follow-up flips the default once the full corpus has been swept gate-on. Design note and the full investigation live in the campaign repo (
