fix(cjs-default,test): one shared <mod>.default table; cc's MCP debug logger shape and exec/execFile callback order pinned (#9500) - #9531
Conversation
…e set (PerryTS#9500) The set of Node builtins whose CommonJS `module.exports` is a distinct `<mod>.default` namespace was hand-maintained in five places: the runtime's `cjs_default_base_module` and `cjs_default_namespace_name` tables, the `cjs_default_export_value` match arm, the method-call router's list (which drifted far enough to break `require('child_process').spawn` — PerryTS#9485/PerryTS#9498), and the HIR's `is_cjs_style_native_default_import`, itself duplicated in `module_decl/native_default_import.rs` and `lower_expr/helpers.rs` with the two copies already disagreeing (`ffi`, `inspector`, `inspector/promises`, `wasi` missing from the latter). Move the table to `perry-dispatch` (the crate both perry-hir and perry-runtime already depend on) as `CJS_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE_MODULES`, built by a macro from one literal per module so the two spellings cannot disagree, and derive every consumer from it: - runtime: `cjs_default_base_module` / `cjs_default_namespace_name` become views over the table; the `cjs_default_export_value` wildcard arm is a guard on `has_cjs_default_namespace` (the explicit arms before it — the callable/plain-namespace defaults — keep winning, so behaviour is unchanged); - HIR: one predicate, derived from the table plus the spelled-out differences (`events` and the `sys`/`path/posix`/`path/win32` aliases are CJS-style; `node-pty`/`process`/`repl`/`sea` stay on the namespace-object default), used by both former call sites; - tests pin the table's shape, the HIR classification of every row, and that the router test's spelled-out list equals the table in both directions. perry-runtime gains perry-dispatch as a regular dependency (it was build-only); the crate has no dependencies of its own.

De-minified from the cc bundle: the `using`-downlevel fs wrapper (error
stashed by a catch-block `var`, re-thrown from `finally`), the 1 s-timer /
size / dispose buffered writer, the cleanup set awaited by graceful
shutdown before `process.exit`, and the `try { appendFileSync } catch {
mkdirSync(recursive); appendFileSync }` recovery arm that is the only code
creating the log directory tree. Byte-compared to node.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0184JRgBs978K6X7qKJFB4Hp
…9500 part 2) The issue's inverted exec→execFile order for two instant echos is a same-turn batch-delivery artefact (node itself flips it with submission order); the property both engines actually guarantee — a child that finishes first calls back first, whichever API launched it — is what this pins.

Exercise the scheduled flush path.
Line 132 starts shutdown immediately after queuing the records. dispose() flushes the buffer before report(). The fixture can pass if the one-second setTimeout(flush, 1000) path never runs. Wait for and report a timer-triggered flush before shutdown, or add a separate timer-flush case.

Closes #9500 — all three findings, one PR. Two are settled by measurement, one by code.
1. The MCP debug logger — already unblocked by #9491, now pinned
The bundle's logger writes through a
using-downlevel fs wrapper (the error is stashed byvar O=A,w=1in the CATCH block and re-thrown from FINALLY by esbuild's dispose helper) into a buffered writer flushed by a 1 s timer, a size cap, ordispose()— which the graceful-shutdown path awaits (raced against a 2 s timer) beforeprocess.exit. The flush's write function is— the only code that ever creates
~/.cache/claude-cli-nodejs/<key>/mcp-logs-*/. So it relies on the first append THROWING.straceon the layer-1 binary from #9498's verification (built from9484463d8, which predates #9491) shows exactly where it died: both engines reach the sameopenat(…/mcp-logs-alpha/….jsonl, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND) = ENOENT; node follows it with the recursivemkdirchain and a successful retry, perry follows it with nothing — the append returned success, the catch never ran. That is #9421's swallowed status, fixed for this surface by #9491 (appendFileSyncnow throws the node-shaped error). The flush itself was never the problem: node's write lands ~1.16 s after launch, i.e. the 1 s timer, and perry's pre-#9491 trace shows the sameopenat— the record reached the file system on both engines.Verification on current main (
0b24670dd9, post-#9491):usinghelpers verbatim, tracing off and with a live disposable span) re-throwsENOENTand the recovery arm creates the tree — byte-identical to node;test-files/test_gap_9500_mcp_debug_logger_shape.tspins the whole shape end to end (wrapper, buffered writer, cleanup set, graceful shutdown, recovery). It fails on the pre-fix(fs): appendFile must report failure, not resolve; writeFileSync must throw; mode must reach open(2) (#9421) #9491 tree (exists=false records=0 recoveries: 0 tree: <missing>) and passes on main;0b24670dd9):mcp listnow writes bothmcp-logs-*/….jsonlfiles, and its strace is node's sequence to the syscall —openat(…, O_APPEND) = ENOENT, themkdirchainmcp-logs-alpha → <key> → claude-cli-nodejs → .cache = 0, retry. On the 15-casemcpharness subset theHOME-PATHS-ONLY-IN-NODEflag is gone from all 15; every case has the same log tree on both engines (the comparer needed one normaliser widened — the log filenames use-between time fields,T13-01-08-339Z, which its timestamp pattern did not match).data/exit/closeare delivered before the continuation that awaited its'spawn', so the SDK'ssend()throwsNot connectedwhere node getsConnection closed(child_process: a child's data/exit/close are delivered BEFORE the continuation that awaited its 'spawn' — cc's MCP stdio client says 'Not connected' where node says 'Connection closed' #9535, ~9 cases);fetch(URL instance)rejects asInvalid URL(fetch(url: URL) rejects with 'Invalid URL' (cc's MCP HTTP transport passes a URL instance); a DNS failure is a plain Error without node's 'fetch failed' + cause.code #9536, the HTTP cases); null bytes in spawn args are not validated on therequire()path (child_process via require(): null bytes in file/args are not validated — 'spawn /bin/true UNKNOWN' instead of ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE; the named-import path validates with a non-node message #9537,E62). The three self-server cases keep the Map.set(key, closure) stores the WRONG KEY when fused: the key operand is stranded across the closure's allocation (Expr::MapSet rooted re-read) #9499 timeout. Debug logging that works is exactly what the issue said it would be worth.2. exec/execFile callback order — a same-turn artefact, not a scheduling rule
Measured, not inferred. With two instant children (
exec("echo ex"),execFile("/bin/echo", ["ef"])), node on Linux fires execFile→exec — and with the two calls swapped it fires exec→execFile: whichever was submitted second calls back first, both callbacks 0.1 ms apart, both children long exited before the loop's first poll (node'sexec()call alone takes ~4 ms on the main thread). That is libuv's batch-delivery order for completions that land in one turn, not a property of the API. Perry's reactor drains its completion queue FIFO, so it fires the first-submitted callback first in the same situation.What node actually guarantees — a child that finishes first calls back first, whichever API launched it and whichever call came first — perry already matches (
exec("sleep 0.3; echo")vs an instantexecFilefires execFile first on both engines, and vice versa).test-files/test_gap_9500_exec_callback_completion_order.tspins that property with real completion gaps, including a three-child stagger. I did not make the reactor imitate libuv's same-turn LIFO: it would be a heuristic against an accident, and no consumer can rely on it in node either.Measured on the build host (Linux, node 26.5.1, both engines):
exec("echo ex")thenexecFile("/bin/echo",["ef"])exec("sleep 0.3; echo")vs instantexecFileC B A, thenB A CC B A DNode's same-turn order is deterministic but not a rule — the same three-child batch comes out
C B Aand thenB A Cwithin one process — so there is nothing perry could implement short of libuv's poll-phase bookkeeping. The only order node guarantees, completion order, perry matches.3. The five copies of the CJS-default module set become one table
Not four copies but five: the runtime's
cjs_default_base_moduleandcjs_default_namespace_name, thecjs_default_export_valuewildcard arm, the router's list (#9498 already folded that onto the canonical table), and the HIR'sis_cjs_style_native_default_import— which existed twice in the HIR, and the two had already drifted:lower_expr/helpers.rs's copy lackedffi,inspector,inspector/promisesandwasi.The table now lives once, in
perry-dispatch(the crate perry-hir and perry-runtime already share), asCJS_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE_MODULES, built by a macro from one literal per module sobaseand"<base>.default"cannot disagree. Every consumer derives from it:cjs_default_export_valuewildcard is a guard onhas_cjs_default_namespace(the explicit arms before it — callable and plain-namespace defaults — keep winning, so resolution is unchanged);eventsand thesys/path/posix/path/win32aliases are CJS-style;node-pty/process/repl/seastay on the namespace-object default — flipping those is a lowering change, left as a follow-up), used by both former call sites;perry-runtimegainsperry-dispatchas a regular dependency (it was build-only); the crate has no dependencies of its own. A default-import probe (inspector,inspector/promises,child_process,util,sys,path/posix, bare binding identity) is byte-identical to node before and after.Follow-ups filed from the now-readable logs
