+- **perry-codegen**: a counted loop over a receiver not declared a plain `Array` (a `Float64Array`, but equally a `Buffer`) no longer fails LLVM IR parsing with "use of undefined value '@PERRY_TA_VIEW_GUARD'". #10741's typed region guard still loaded that process-wide global after #10516 had removed it; it now reads the receiver's own storage byte (header byte 10) like the other #10516 sites. This failed four modules of the OpenCode v1.18.30 build, including `id.ts`.
