Summary

Closes #10500
Closes #10703

Advances #10520 in the same change, rebased onto main at 01485ddf99. #10520 stays open for its remaining box8 target.

No version bump. This PR supersedes the scope-context work in #11179.

Verification

Local measurements are on macOS arm64 and are directional; the Linux perf package instruction/RSS suite is left to CI or a Linux performance runner.

Measured limit

On macOS arm64, the issue's bench.ts at 100,000 calls produced matching checksums. Perry arrow8 was close to its unboxed arr8 control (about 174 ms vs 177 ms); box8 remained about 363 ms, roughly 2× that control and far above Node. These wall timings are sensitive to host load and do not establish the issue's Linux instruction target (box8 ≤10× Node). The PR removes the recorded box side-table work and spurious const boxes, but the remaining box8 performance target needs further optimization.

Merge gate note

The public benchmark freshness check is red on the unchanged base tree: its recorded source fingerprint is 9c87723d7cedca511b1dba158fdd505bdbabd667367ee41152f82370c9ceeae5, while the current fingerprint is 9d9a158b9a4ad59bbb78d0ef02dc4752ccbcc76f8cdb67cbdecb9d9b79cc5bcb. This PR changes neither Cargo.toml nor any benchmarks/ inputs. Regenerating the public artifact requires the separate quiet-host measurement workflow.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler groups eligible captured bindings into scope-context objects. Box cells and scope objects are movable GC allocations. Code generation, mapped arguments, closure captures, and thread transfer paths handle the new storage. The change also adds GC and code-generation coverage, a recursion-analysis correction, and a packed-store regression test.

Changes

Scope Context Objects and GC-Managed Captures

Layer / File(s) Summary
Binding analysis and scope grouping
crates/perry-codegen/src/boxed_vars.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/scope_env/*, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/collect_modules/finish.rs
The compiler analyzes declaration and capture positions, groups eligible bindings by home and capturing-closure set, and rewrites their preallocations. Boxed-variable analysis also updates self-recursion detection and checks whether writes precede closure captures.
Scope allocation and capture roots
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/pointer_locals.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/mod.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/strings.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/root_reload.rs
Code generation builds a scope map, allocates scope objects, compacts root and capture slots, and roots parameter values before boxed-cell allocation. Scope preallocation seeds slots for TDZ and compiler-private control values.
Scoped reads, writes, and array writeback
crates/perry-codegen/src/scope_env/access.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_array_method.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_string_concat.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/loops.rs
Scoped access handles reads, writes, TDZ checks, and write barriers. Expression lowering and array mutators use scoped slots when available, including both splice writeback paths.
GC-managed box and scope objects
crates/perry-runtime/src/box*, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/arena/page_meta/mod.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/shape_rule3.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/tls_hot.rs
Box allocators now use GC-arena objects. GC metadata and visitors trace box payloads and scope slots. Registry-based box roots, closure box-capture tracking, and box pointer caches are removed. Async box activation tokens track lifecycle ownership and references.
Mapped arguments, scope transfer, and pending results
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/arguments.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/thread.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/thread/pending_results.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/box/scope.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/arguments_objects.rs
Mapped arguments store pointers to movable cells and re-read cells after potentially allocating writes. Thread serialization copies scope slots and reconstructs a rooted scope in the receiving thread. The pending-result queue is implemented in its own module and re-exported through thread.rs.
Validation, audit updates, and regressions
crates/perry-codegen/src/scope_env/tests.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/*tests.rs, crates/perry-codegen/tests/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/box/tests.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/*, test-files/test_gap_gc_*, test-files/test_gap_10520_const_closure_capture.ts, test-parity/gc_repsel_corpus.txt, scripts/*, changelog.d/11710-scope-context-objects.md
Tests cover grouped captures, movable cells, rooting, mapped arguments, async and loop bindings, retention, and splice writeback. The change also adds a packed-store regression test and updates GC audit metadata.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6286f

No concrete current-head regression is established in the inspected paths. The change is ready for normal merge checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6286f

The change affects memory ownership across closures and asynchronous execution. No new access or privilege boundary was identified in the inspected paths, but incomplete lifecycle verification leaves residual risk.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Source programs determine captured values and execution paths that reach the changed storage operations. A rooting or relocation defect could affect memory integrity within the executing application's process. The inspected changes do not establish added tenant, credential, network, or infrastructure authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Thread transfer serializes scope contents and boxed values rather than passing their arena addresses directly. Scope reconstruction roots the new base, reloads it after each allocating deserialization, and publishes each member through the scope setter.
  • observed — Async activation tokens contain no GC pointers. Generation, lifecycle, and reference checks distinguish live tokens from recycled ones, while lifecycle completion releases its reference only once. Fulfillment and rejection thunks consult this token validation before dispatch.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The collector's rewrite visitor enumerates a box payload and each scope slot. Compiler-private control slots retain non-pointer tags, and entry capture caching is disabled for async and generator bodies where entry-local pointers cannot survive suspension. These are concrete safeguards, not proof of every recovery path.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR adds the #10500 regression test pooled_runtime_key_names_prime_static_overwrites. The test uses distinct pooled and runtime-interned copies of name, E, length, and now, and verifies static-store priming. For #10703, the PR removes the box identity and capture-count side tables, allocates box and scope cells in the GC arena, adds GC type metadata and tracing, and adds moving-GC and reclamation tests. The evidence does not establish the #10500 Linux performance targets or the stated instruction and memory outcomes. The reported measurements use macOS arm64, and the PR reports no equivalent Linux measurements.

Resolution

Provide reviewable Linux x64 evidence for the #10500 performance targets, including the SHA-field comparison, the name/type comparison, and the name sweep. Provide any required benchmark evidence for the #10703 instruction or memory outcomes if those outcomes are acceptance requirements.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

crates/perry-runtime/src/thread/pending_results.rs adds a cross-thread promise-result queue, including promise result processing, rejection handling, agent retirement, and pending-work accounting. The related thread.rs queue relocation and scripts/thread_exit_address_globals.json update support that queue. The summary provides no connection between this queue and #10500 static-key store priming or #10703 box metadata and capture-count removal.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Docstring coverage is 59.06% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 149 functions across 53 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Update the stale comment above the assertion.

Line 442 says that exactly the two js_map_alloc calls become statepoints. The assertion now expects the declaration, two map allocations, and the js_box_alloc_bits allocation. The block comment at lines 383-391 also calls js_box_alloc_bits an audited leaf accessor. Update both comments so the fixture describes the new contract.

block in the function-generation flow, so a receiver_body stores and binds the
entry this slot before parameter-cell allocation can collect.

Review comments at @crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/capture_writeback.rs:
- Around line 134-138: Update the scoped writeback branch using write_scoped so
it does not discard the result: handle Ok(false) as an invariant violation or
fallback, and report or trace Err rather than silently losing the captured
value. Preserve the existing boxed-variable and slot checks.
