Startup-lane groundwork from the pi/cc campaign, with an honest negative-ish finding attached.

esbuild's __export runs ~1,245 always-executed Object.defineProperty(target, name, {get, enumerable:true}) calls at pi startup. This adds js_object_define_get_accessor (fast arm strictly limited to plain extensible objects / fresh non-numeric string keys / callable-or-undefined getters / unpolluted Object.prototype — everything else, incl. proxies, redefines, symbol keys, and every ToPropertyDescriptor TypeError, delegates to the generic path via a materialized descriptor) plus HIR-level recognition of the two-field descriptor literal in either field order, fail-closed.

The honest measurement (quiet mini, min-of-runs, path selection verified in kept IR before trusting any number): the descriptor alloc+decode this removes is ~1-2% of perry's install cost (−2.0% micro, −1.2% realistic 28-key shape). Node is still ~40x faster on the install itself — the gap lives in the accessor INSTALL machinery: two HashMap<(usize,String)> side-table inserts, epoch bumps, and inline-guard invalidation per install. That follow-up (side-table install path) is queued next in the lane; this PR contributes the entrypoint the follow-up needs, the admission analysis, and the parity fixture.

Validation: perry-codegen 1349/0 (2 new IR-emission tests incl. both field orders + 4 near-miss shapes staying generic); perry-runtime 2821/0 (one pre-existing SIGABRT excluded, verified identical on pristine main f3f4052 via stash); gap fixture test_gap_9053_export_getter_descriptor.ts byte-identical to node incl. redefine TypeErrors and the enumerable:false near-miss; census/file-size/fmt green.

Implemented by a subagent in an isolated worktree; reviewed and shipped by the coordinating session.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds a fast path for { get, enumerable: true } descriptor literals. Codegen emits a dedicated runtime helper for exact matching shapes. The runtime preserves generic behavior for unsupported receivers, keys, getters, and redefinitions. Tests cover codegen selection and observable property behavior.

Getter accessor fast path

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime accessor helper
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/object_ops/define_get_accessor.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/object_ops/descriptor_helpers.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/object_ops.rs, scripts/string_payload_access_baseline.txt
The runtime probes whether a property can use the fast path, installs the accessor, and falls back to descriptor materialization when required.
Runtime declaration wiring
crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/strings_part2.rs
The codegen runtime declarations expose js_object_define_get_accessor with three DOUBLE arguments.
Descriptor recognition and lowering
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/misc_methods.rs
Codegen recognizes exact two-field anonymous-shape descriptors in either field order and preserves generic lowering for near matches.
Integration behavior validation
test-files/test_gap_9053_export_getter_descriptor.ts
The fixture validates getter reads, live bindings, enumeration, descriptor reflection, redefinition, configurable properties, and generic-path near misses.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 74c3f

The PR adds a direct accessor-install fast path, but the current build is blocked by a runtime lint failure and the path may handle heap class objects inconsistently with normal property definition. Merge should wait for the lint fix and explicit class-object fallback or parity handling.

Prevent user classes from colliding with __AnonShape_ names.

constructor.is_some() cannot be used as the guard because every generated anonymous shape has a synthesized constructor. However, user classes can use the same prefix, and push_class_dedup keeps the first class with a matching name. A user class can therefore occupy the generated name for { get, enumerable }; the matcher then skips that class's constructor and loses its effects. Reserve the prefix or record synthetic-class provenance, and add a collision regression test.

Not merging yet — two required lint gates are red, both naming this PR's new files. Neither is a formality; one of them is the rooting ratchet. Everything else about the PR is in good shape, detailed below, so this should be a short round trip.

1. raw_handle_debt.py — 5 bare reads in a module with no ceiling

crates/perry-runtime/src/object/object_ops/define_get_accessor.rs: 5 bare read(s)
in a module with no ceiling. New code must use RuntimeHandle::across_{mut,const,nanbox}
or with_{mut,const}_ptr; see #7341.

The bare run locks unlisted modules at zero, so a new file starts with no allowance. The sites:

line shape
113, 123, 146, 166 let-bound — across_{const,nanbox} converts these directly
140, 239, 241, 246, 251, 255 argument positionacross_* cannot express these; they need with_{const,mut}_ptr scoping around the call

I deliberately did not convert these myself. The code already looks semantically right — line 146 re-reads key_str from the handle after the intervening call, which is the correct post-call reload — so this is about expressing it through the checked helpers rather than a latent bug. But six of the sites are argument-position in a rooting-sensitive path in a 691-line new module, and reshaping those into with_*_ptr closures is exactly where I'd risk introducing the defect the ratchet exists to prevent.

2. string_payload_access_inventory.py — 2 new open-coded payload offsets

define_get_accessor.rs:128   [inline-offset] open-coded StringHeader payload offset
descriptor_helpers.rs:41     [inline-offset] open-coded StringHeader payload offset

Both are the same hand-rolled shape:

let name_ptr = (key_str as *const u8).add(std::mem::size_of::<crate::StringHeader>());
let name_len = (*key_str).byte_len as usize;

This is the #8445 ratchet — new sites are supposed to go through the accessor rather than re-deriving the offset.

Everything else checks out

Correctness: 22 shapes, byte-identical to node v26.5.1. I concentrated on the fast arm's exclusions, since "strictly limited to plain extensible objects / fresh non-numeric string keys / callable-or-undefined getters / unpolluted Object.prototype" is a lot of conditions to get right:

must delegate result
6, 7 redefine, and redefine over configurable:false TypeError
8, 9 symbol key; numeric string key "0"
10 preventExtensions target TypeError
11, 13 non-callable getter; get and value together TypeError
15 Proxy with a defineProperty trap — trap must fire [1,true]
16 polluted Object.prototype
4, 5 resulting descriptor exactly right (configurable:false, absent enumerablefalse)
17–19 getter this-binding, laziness (0 calls until read), throwing getter
20, 21 Object.keys / JSON / spread / for…in / in / hasOwnProperty

The subject is live, by IR diff on the esbuild __export shape:

js_object_define_get_accessor generic js_object_define_property
main 0 2
this PR 2 1

Suites: runtime 2822 passed under both profiles (dev-profile run exit 0, 0 abort markers, 54 s), codegen 1349, perry --bins 1066, fmt clean. Only the two gates above are red.

Also worth saying: the honest framing in the PR body — a measured 1–2% with node still ~40x ahead on the install itself, and the gap located in the side-table inserts and epoch bumps rather than the descriptor decode — is the right way to land groundwork. It makes #9113's 2.33x claim on the install path legible as the actual follow-through rather than a competing measurement.

I'll re-run the full validation as soon as the two gates are addressed; #9113 stacks on this so it's queued behind it.

…ptor literal

esbuild emits __export(target, { name: () => binding, ... }) re-export blocks
at module top level -- always executed at startup; pi's 13MB bundle carries 44
sites totalling ~1,245 getter installs, plus CJS-interop
defineProperty(exports, "X", { enumerable: true, get: ... }) blocks. Each one
allocated a two-field descriptor object and re-decoded it by field name inside
js_object_define_property.

Codegen now recognises the descriptor literal { get: <expr>, enumerable: true }
(either property order; anon-shape New with exactly those two fields and a
literal `true`) at the Expr::ObjectDefineProperty lowering and emits a direct
js_object_define_get_accessor(obj, key, getter) call, skipping the descriptor
allocation entirely. Evaluation order is preserved (obj -> key -> getter; the
dropped `enumerable` argument is the effect-free literal `true`).

The new runtime entrypoint keeps defineProperty semantics byte-for-byte by
construction: a fast arm reproduces the generic ordinary-object accessor arm's
exact effects for the one case it admits (plain extensible GC_TYPE_OBJECT
receiver, plain non-numeric string key != "length", brand-new own property,
callable-or-undefined getter, unpolluted Object.prototype -- the same guard
try_decode_descriptor uses), and every other case materialises the two-field
descriptor and delegates to js_object_define_property, so proxies, handles,
class-refs, closures, typed arrays, buffers, frozen/sealed receivers, symbol
and numeric keys, redefinitions, and the ToPropertyDescriptor TypeErrors are
decided by exactly the code that decides them today. New-property attributes
match the generic arm: writable (internal accessor default), enumerable
(explicit), non-configurable (omitted).

Validation:
- cargo test -p perry-codegen --lib: 1349 passed (2 new IR-emission tests:
  both literal orders take the fast call; enumerable:false / non-literal /
  3-field / get-less shapes keep the generic call).
- cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib -- --test-threads=1: 2821 passed, 3 new
  (fast-arm side-table state equals the generic arm's; numeric-key and
  existing-key cases route through the generic arm, retaining configurable).
  object::reserved_floor::tests::user_properties_read_back_through_the_get_path_at_scale
  aborts on pristine origin/main (f3f4052) too -- pre-existing, excluded.
- test-files/test_gap_9053_export_getter_descriptor.ts: byte-identical output
  vs node --experimental-strip-types (reads, keys order, descriptor
  reflection, non-configurable redefine TypeError, no-change redefine,
  configurable override through the fast literal, enumerable:false near-miss).
  Kept IR shows 4 fast + 2 generic call sites, as designed.
- Micro-bench (500 getter installs x 2000 iters, quiet host, min/median of 6):
  fast 5961/5967ms vs semantically-identical generic-path literal 6085/6089ms
  (-2.0%); 28-key realistic shape ~-1.2%; node 148ms. The descriptor
  alloc+decode is only ~2% of perry's install cost -- the accessor side-table
  machinery (two HashMap<(usize,String)> inserts, epoch bumps, guard
  invalidation per install) dominates and is the follow-up worth having.

The cjs_scaffolding Ptr<Shape> barrier collector is deliberately untouched:
exempting __export sites needs a target-provenance proof like the
exports/require whitelist, which this change does not establish -- noted as a
follow-up.

Merged. The two gates I flagged are fixed — by a Codex agent I briefed with the exact failures, then reviewed and pushed back on once. Recording that here because the first attempt is instructive.

What landed:

  • Every raw pointer read in define_get_accessor.rs now goes through the checked helpers: with_const_ptr scoping the payload copy and the non-allocating presence probe, and a genuine across_const whose closure body is obj_value_has_own_key — so the returned pointer really is post-call. get_raw_*_ptr count in that file is now 0.
  • The value reads (get_nanbox_f64, get_heap_word_u64) stay bare, correctly — an f64 read out of a handle cannot go stale the way a raw pointer can, which is why the ratchet doesn't count them.
  • string_data(...) replaces both open-coded StringHeader payload offsets, and the perry-runtime inline-offset baseline tightens 364 → 363.

The pushback, for the record. The first attempt satisfied raw_handle_debt.py like this:

let (_, key_value) = key_handle.across_nanbox(|| ());

across_nanbox is let r = f(); (r, self.get_nanbox_f64()), so with an empty closure that is byte-for-byte the same bare read, wrapped so the regex stops counting it. Four sites were converted that way. The gate went green while the code got no safer and less readable — and the helper's own doc says exactly what it is for:

It is not a proof… What it does is make the correct shape shorter than the incorrect one and give the ratchet in scripts/raw_handle_debt.py something to count down.

Rejected and re-briefed; the second pass moved the real allocating calls into the closures for the two pointer sites and unwrapped the two value sites. Worth flagging as a hazard for anyone else clearing this ratchet: across_*(|| ()) is a green build and a no-op, and nothing in the gate can tell the difference.

Verified independently after the fix, on the rebased tree (not on the pre-rebase tree I first checked): run_lint_gates.sh all 60 gates passed, runtime 2822 passed exit 0 with 0 abort markers, perry --bins 1066 passed, git diff origin/main --diff-filter=D empty.

The correctness and IR evidence from my earlier review stands unchanged — 22 shapes byte-identical to node including every delegation case, and the fast arm confirmed live (main 0 js_object_define_get_accessor calls → 2 here).

#9113 stacks on this and is now unblocked; I'll pick it up.

…ters

Ablation profile of the PerryTS#9103 fast arm (500 getter installs x 2000 iters,
quiet host; PERRY_ABLATE bitmask, one term skipped per run, min of 3) put the
~6.0us/install cost at:

  ~2.7us  object_prototype_has_desc_field admission probe -- ~98% of it the
          per-call %Object.prototype% RESOLUTION (globalThis builtin lookup +
          closure_get_dynamic_prop(ctor, "prototype")); the 6-name keys scan
          itself is ~0.04us
  ~2.9us  ensure_key_in_keys_array (push + shape publish machinery; its
          dedupe probe is only ~0.09us -- the PerryTS#6743 sidecar already works)
  ~2.4us  note_descriptor_target, ~100% of it
          transition_object_shape_semantics -- run TWICE per install
          (set_accessor_descriptor + set_property_attrs)
  ~1.9us  owner_index_add x2 -- the O(N) Vec<String> dedupe scans
  ~0.4us  the two (usize,String)-keyed map inserts
  ~0.07us guard-disable, ~0.03us epoch bumps, ~0 the rest
  73ms/1M with every term ablated -- BELOW node's 148ms, so the floor
  (coerce, clone, alloc, loop) is already fine; the side tables are the gap.
  (Terms overlap heavily -- each also modulates GC frequency, and every GC
  cycle rescans the grown descriptor tables -- so they do not sum to 6.0us.)

Two fixes, both equivalence-preserving:

1. object_prototype_has_desc_field now resolves %Object.prototype% through
   the memoized, root-scanned prototype-addr cache (one slot load + a
   forwarding heal, healed by scan_prototype_addr_cache_roots_mut) instead of
   re-walking globalThis + the ctor's dynamic-prop table per call. The cache
   IS the realm intrinsic ToPropertyDescriptor reads inherited fields
   through, so a rebound globalThis.Object no longer perturbs the probe; the
   keys scan is kept per call, so no new invalidation machinery exists.

2. install_fresh_accessor_property: a one-call install for a PROVEN-brand-new
   accessor property, used by the fast arm's tail in place of
   set_accessor_descriptor + set_property_attrs. Folds: one epoch bump, one
   note_descriptor_target (one semantic shape mint instead of two -- nothing
   can observe the intermediate generation), one idempotent guard-disable,
   one meta access setting both kind bits and returning their prior state --
   and when a kind's bit was CLEAR, the meta summary's own contract ("a clear
   bit proves the tables hold no entry for that key"; every owner_index_add
   site sets the matching bit first, bits are sticky, removals only shrink)
   proves the owner index cannot hold the key, so the O(N) dedupe scan
   becomes a plain push. Set bits and non-meta-capable owners keep the
   scanning add; a violated precondition degrades to overwrite, never
   corruption (regression-tested).

Measured (same quiet host, min/median of 5, 1M installs; node 148ms):
  500-key targets: 5972 -> 2563ms  (2.33x; ~40x node -> ~17x)
   28-key targets: 3989 -> 1426ms  (2.80x)
  The 2-field generic-literal path is ~unchanged (6089 -> 6015ms): its cost
  is dominated by the descriptor build/decode plus the duplicated install
  stack it still runs, and the ablation terms are GC-coupled rather than
  additive.

Validation: cargo test -p perry-codegen --lib 1349 passed; cargo test -p
perry-runtime --lib -- --test-threads=1 2823 passed (2 new: combined
installer state == two-call sequence incl. owner index; repeated combined
install dedupes via the prior-bit path). reserved_floor's at-scale test
SIGABRTs identically on pristine origin/main db6df04 -- pre-existing,
excluded. test_gap_9053 fixture stays byte-identical to node.

Remaining (analysis only, not implemented): ensure_key_in_keys_array's
~2.8us -- js_array_push's per-call porch (proxy/subclass probes +
clean_arr_ptr allocator resolution) plus set_object_keys_array's
mint-then-stamp shape publish per append; a keys-append entry that reuses
ensure's already-validated header and publishes once per batch would be the
next term, but it walks straight into the PerryTS#8113 mint-then-stamp and PerryTS#9029
lineage-publish contracts, so it deserves its own change. At giant-table
scale the per-GC-cycle scan_descriptor_roots_mut walk over the descriptor
tables is what couples the terms; at pi's ~1.2k installs it is irrelevant.
