PERRY_UNCAUGHT_BACKTRACE=1 emits a symbolicated native backtrace on the uncaught-throw path, reusing the libc backtrace pair arena::quarantine already uses. A #7154-class rooting bug surfaces in a function nowhere near the code that lost the value, and the JS-level stack this path prints reads 'at <anonymous>'. PERRY_KEEP_SYMBOLS=1 skips ONLY the final strip. PERRY_DEBUG_SYMBOLS does that too, but every consumer reads it with is_some(), so it also turns on -g -- and on the #7803 corpus the symbolized build passed 13 seeds that the plain build fails at 44%. Asking for symbols changed the subject. This knob leaves codegen byte-identical to the build that reproduces. Both default off and are parsed BY VALUE, not by presence (#7993).
…l arms rooting/temp_root.rs already decides 'root, re-derive or reuse?' correctly and in one place, and already says module globals and locals must be ROOTED rather than reloaded. The gap is the POSITION it is asked about: that machinery protects call OPERANDS. Three arms lower the CALLEE into a bare register, lower the arguments after it -- each of which can allocate -- and then pass the original register: new_dynamic.rs (both js_new_function_construct arms) call_spread.rs (cb_box, across js_array_like_to_array and the concat) early_branches.rs (recv_box, unmasked into closure_handle after the args) Under the shipping statepoint lowering that register is in no live bundle, so nothing marks it and nothing relocates it. A root and not a reload: JS resolves the callee BEFORE the arguments, so re-reading below them would hand the call whatever an argument assigned. Measured on the dependency-scale corpus under the native lowering: 66 -> 26 hazards, sink=js_new_function_construct 24 -> 0, sink=js_closure_call_apply_with_spread 16 -> 0, live bundles 39073 -> 39140. This does NOT close #7803: the failure rate is unmoved (3/8 -> 5/16 -> 8/16 across the three binaries, all noise at this sample size). Landing it on the static ratchet alone. NOT YET gap-suite tested.
… 8/16) zod compiles a fastpass parser with new Function for every object schema (core/schemas.ts:2028), which on Perry runs through the dyn_eval interpreter -- the frames under #7803's throw. Taking that path out of the workload with zod's own jitless switch takes the failure with it: 0/16 against 8/16 on the same compiler, runtime and zod pin, with the instrument hot (5054-5434 forced collections, ~765k objects moved per run) and the answer byte-identical. Not a clean single-variable A/B and recorded as such: jitless also drops the workload from 6840 to 5056 safepoints. What makes it persuasive is the conjunction with the captured stack, not the sweep alone. Two traps on the way, both recorded: the config must run BEFORE any schema is constructed (jit is captured in the ctor, and the schema modules run at import), and the first attempt still entered interp_thunk through the identical stack -- a clean sweep of it would have been quoted as evidence while the interpreter was still running the parse.
) The interpreter offered the collector NO safepoints. Compiled code polls at loop back-edges; interpreted code polled nowhere, so a collection could only reach it at an allocation point -- and that arm forces a conservative stack scan, which makes the copying minor ineligible. The consequence is not that the interpreter is safe, it is that it is untestable: PERRY_GC_ZEAL forces collection at safepoints and there were none, PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED selects safepoints and there were none, and gc_root_dominance_check.py reads emitted LLVM IR of which the interpreter has none. The one rooting domain with no static checker also had no dynamic one, so mod.rs's claim that interpreter frames hold EVERY live JSValue in a rooted stack was unfalsifiable by anything in the tree. PERRY_GC_INTERP_SAFEPOINTS=1 calls js_gc_loop_safepoint at every eval_expr node and exec_stmt -- through the shared entry point deliberately, so the entry guards and the seeded-schedule ordinal apply exactly as they do to a compiled back-edge. An interpreter safepoint is the same safepoint, not a second kind. Subject asserted live (seed 2, rate 1, one binary): loop_polls 24029 -> 93210, safepoints 2725 -> 6973, moved 369076 -> 866480. Output byte-identical. Opt-in, not on: if the interpreter's rooting is complete, default-on is strictly better; if it is not, the flip turns a latent hole into a live crash for ajv / fast-json-stringify / find-my-way. Same sequencing PERRY_GC_MOVING_LOOP_POLLS had between #7161 and #7721.
…ve roots gc-root-dominance.yml emitted three of four corpus x lowering combinations. #7280 fixed the POPULATION (curated files lack the shapes a real library produces) and added the dependency corpus; #7452 fixed the LOWERING (statepoints ship; a PERRY_RS4GC=0 corpus contains none of that root form) and added the native corpus. Neither reached the other's cell, so the zod corpus compiled the way shipped binaries are compiled had never been checked. First measurement: 66 unrooted hazards, against a curated arm calibrated to ZERO -- 24 sinking into js_new_function_construct and 39 into the js_closure_call family, which are #7803's two observed messages. 40 of those were the callee-outlives-arguments defect fixed in 95d9fbb9d, leaving 26. Lands as a budget that can only go down, not an allowlist: the residual is a population under triage (19 are the js_box_get_bits mutable-capture-box shape), not a list anyone has adjudicated entry by entry -- the same reasoning the --stale-registers budget records. Carries the same liveness floors and the --seeded-violations 40 arm as its curated sibling, so a corpus that did not exercise the subject cannot read as clean. NOT yet promoted to a required check: a new gate has never been green, so it runs once before anyone depends on it (CLAUDE.md, hazard-4 corollary).
The third fixed arm (early_branches.rs) was never measured statically: the 26 came from a corpus emitted before that fix existed. A from-scratch rebuild reads 3 -- js_new_function_construct 24->0, js_closure_call_apply_with_spread 16->0, js_closure_call1/2 23->0, leaving one each of js_array_concat, js_rel_ge and js_get_string_pointer_unified. The lesson is about the 26. It came from an incremental build and went into a committed ratchet; a ratchet's number has to come from a tree someone else can reproduce. Caught only because the box swept the worktree and forced a clean rebuild.
…preter's own frames Same binary, one variable: safepoints off 6/8 fail, on 2/8. Collecting MORE often inside the interpreter made it fail LESS -- the opposite of what 'interpreted frames hold the unrooted value' predicts. n=8, p~0.13, so it settles nothing alone, but with the jitless result it narrows the position: the failure needs the new-Function PATH, and the interpreter's own locals are not obviously the holder. Next look is the BOUNDARY (bridge.rs, dispatch_with_arity, the interpreted-dispatch caches), not dyn_eval's locals, which §21 audited and found sound.
… gap-suite block The three call arms change the lowering of every new-expression, spread call and closure-typed-local call in the language, and the gap suite has NOT run against them. This box could not give a trustworthy run -- load average 60 with 47 sibling worktrees building, the suite slowing from 25 tests in 3 minutes to 30 in 19 -- so it was stopped rather than finished badly. Partial 30/554 with 0 failures is evidence of nothing except that the first 30 do not crash. run_gap_tests.sh + cargo test -p perry-codegen on a quiet host before that change goes into a PR.
…t first (#7803) js_native_call_method roots its receiver and arguments in a RuntimeHandleScope and #7528 added refreshed_args() so a use below a collection point re-reads them. That fix reached ten sites; several dispatch arms still pass the CALLER's raw args_ptr, which is the caller's memory -- arg_handles is what the collector rewrites, the buffer is not. Two arms verified to have a collection point between entry and dispatch: the dynamic-prop-on-a-closure arm (clone_closure_rebind_this allocates) and the accessor-getter arm (js_closure_call0 runs user code, then the rebind allocates). Both now refresh. Fits #7803's symptom: zod's generated fastpass calls shape[k]._zod.run({ value, issues: [] }, ctx) -- a freshly allocated object literal, the youngest thing on the heap, handed to the callee at its pre-move address -- and _zod is an accessor, which is the second arm. Not yet proven: the rate A/B has not run. The remaining raw-args_ptr arms are deliberately untouched; each needs its own 'can anything above me collect?' argument rather than a uniform guess.
…all four Seed 4 still fails on the argument-buffer fix, so that is a real defect found and fixed and a cause refuted, not a cause established. Adds a scorecard: four separate rooting defects, all real, none of them this bug -- the corpus under a rate-1 unprotected schedule is not a one-defect workload. Notes the pattern worth pulling on next: the two interventions that make it vanish (--debug-symbols, the from-space quarantine) both change memory LAYOUT, while all four that change ROOTING leave it untouched. That fits a stale raw pointer in a runtime-side cache keyed on an address rather than a value on a stack -- the class CLAUDE.md says the static checker cannot see.
…that can never pass Through 68/554 on a quiet host: two known failures and test_gap_4510_enum_ forward_ref, which is NOT a regression -- Perry prints the correct answer and NODE cannot run the file (--experimental-strip-types rejects enum, which is not erasable syntax). It is red rather than skipped because run_parity_tests.sh records node_fail only for an ABNORMAL exit; a clean exit 1 falls through to the output comparison against Node's crash text. So the test can never pass under the pinned Node. That is the mirror of the hazard CLAUDE.md documents for this suite (node-unrunnable tests silently DROPPED); this one is silently RED. Needs an expected-output file or a widened node_fail predicate. Unrelated to #7803.
The two flagged regressions are both cleared: test_gap_specabi_reassign fails byte-identically with the three codegen files reverted to 410dadd (so it is pre-existing on main, and is #6906/#7052's own regression test failing unnoticed because parity is tag-gated), and test_gap_zlib_4917_level's compile_fail was spurious -- I ran a cargo build concurrently with the suite and swapped the perry binary mid-run; recompiled by hand it is clean and byte-matches node. The ten node_fail -> parity_fail flips are all oracle-side: six need npm packages this worktree lacks, four are TypeScript node cannot strip (enum, parameter properties). They read RED rather than skipped because node_fail is recorded only for an abnormal exit. The codegen PR's blocker is cleared, with the caveats stated.
…ACE (#7803) Establishes WHY every existing instrument suppresses this bug. reset_region_to_zero is misleadingly named: it resets block.offset, it does NOT zero the bytes. Retired from-space therefore keeps its dead objects intact until new allocations bump over them, so: unprotected pages recycle into Eden, new objects overwrite the dead ones, and a stale pointer reads A DIFFERENT OBJECT -> property miss -> undefined. The failure. quarantined pages are held out of Eden, nothing overwrites them, a stale pointer reads its own dead object still intact, and the program is CORRECT. The suppression. So the quarantine does not miss #7803 by luck, it hides it by construction -- and --debug-symbols hides it for the same family of reasons. Both interventions that make the bug vanish are LAYOUT interventions; four separate rooting fixes left it untouched. This mode changes no layout: same pages, same order, same addresses, recycled at the same moment, with the retired bytes scribbled first. Only [0, offset) is touched, so pages the allocator has not faulted in stay untouched. A stale read then finds the poison word instead of a plausible object. Control: the unscheduled corpus run is byte-identical with it on, i.e. nothing in a healthy run reads retired from-space.
… blocker is experiment power 0/6 vs 3/6 looks like a fifth suppression and is not supportable: the two arms' schedules differ by ±0.7%, the same magnitude as the fixed-seed run-to-run drift §1 measured, and Fisher gives p~0.09. States the design problem plainly. A ~40% failure rate, ~1-4% schedule drift, and every intervention perturbing the schedule by about that much means no 6-16 run sweep can attribute anything; ~40 runs per arm would be needed, at 3-20 min each. Four of this session's rate comparisons are under-powered; only the jitless result (0/16 vs 8/16) clears the bar. The fix is a deterministic reproducer, not more runs, and the lever has been unused since the first task list: PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_ALLOC_KB=0 removes the allocation-pacing feedback, leaving the candidate set equal to loop_polls -- which §1 already measured as STABLE at 63,936 across runs. Run in flight.
…the bug LESS likely PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_ALLOC_KB=0 gives polls_paced=0 and safepoints=63941 (= loop_polls + 5 event-loop boundaries), i.e. the candidate set is now the one quantity §1 measured as stable across runs. 63,941 collections, 9.4x the paced run -- and it passed. That is the third independent observation of the same shape (paced ~40% fail; interpreter safepoints on 2/8 vs 6/8; unpaced passed). More collection pressure makes this bug LESS likely, which is backwards for a value held unrooted across a collection point, and fits four rooting fixes changing nothing. Hypothesis that predicts all of it: moved_objects barely changed (892k vs 862k) despite 9.4x the cycles, so denser collections promote survivors out of the evacuating nursery sooner (two-bit aging tenures after 2 minors, and old-gen objects do not move on a minor). Fewer relocations per object -> safer. The quarantine and --debug-symbols are explained by the same 'the object was not relocated into reused memory' mechanism, and rooting fixes are explained by not changing promotion at all. Next experiment is the promotion boundary itself, not the schedule: force promotion on the first minor (predicts the failure vanishes) and suppress tenuring entirely (predicts it becomes reliable -- which would be the deterministic reproducer this session lacked).
…experimental control Two seed-1 runs: safepoints / scheduled_collections / copying_minors all 63941 exactly, polls_paced 0, moved_objects 892662 vs 892062 (0.07%). Against ~4% schedule drift in the paced config. That fixes the design problem §30 named. With the schedule pinned, an intervention that changes the outcome at a fixed seed has changed something real, and one run per arm can say so instead of forty. Use ALLOC_KB=0 for every A/B from here; the paced config is a rate-survey tool only. Cost is ~9.4x the collections, 30-60 min per run, which is cheap next to forty paced runs that still could not attribute anything.
…iagnostic) Overrides the adaptive threshold (#7432) so the promotion hypothesis can be tested directly rather than through the schedule. Three independent measurements say #7803 gets LESS likely as collections get denser (paced ~30-50%; interpreter safepoints on 2/8 vs 6/8; unpaced, 9.4x the cycles, passing). That is backwards for a value held unrooted across a collection point, and it is what four rooting fixes failing to move the rate looks like. moved_objects explains it: 892k unpaced vs 862k paced despite 9.4x the cycles, so the extra collections promote the same objects SOONER, and an old-gen object is not moved by a minor -- denser collections mean FEWER relocations per object. =1 promote on the first minor -> predicts the failure disappears =255 never promote by age -> every survivor re-evacuated every cycle -> predicts the failure becomes reliable, i.e. the deterministic reproducer this bug has never had Pairs with PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_ALLOC_KB=0, which pins the schedule exactly (63,941 safepoints, reproduced to the digit), so an outcome change at a fixed seed is attributable to this knob alone. Unset = adaptive, unchanged.
…mpling route is exhausted PERRY_GC_TENURING_SURVIVALS pinned: =255 (most relocations) 0/5, =1 (fewest) 1/5, adaptive ~40%. §31 predicted =255 becomes reliable and =1 disappears; neither happened. The follow-on 'it is the adaptive transitions' story dies with =1's failure -- a pinned threshold has no transitions. The result is non-monotonic and no relocation-count story fits it; at n=5 no cell is significant anyway. Five hypotheses tested, two real defects fixed, bug still standing. Stopping the sampling route deliberately: a ~40% base rate with ~1-4% schedule drift and five-run arms cannot attribute anything, and a sixth hypothesis would be pattern-matching on noise. Next person: either search seeds under the PINNED schedule (ALLOC_KB=0, 63941 safepoints reproduced to the digit) until one fails -- after which every A/B is one run per arm -- or attack the interpreted/compiled boundary statically, where a hazard can be found by reading rather than sampling.
…6 sites, not 10 Let the compiler count instead of eyeballing: shadow args_ptr/args_len to () right after arg_handles is built, and cargo check reports 36 errors -- 36 arms that reach past the rooted handles for the caller's memory. #7528 converted ten; the other 26 were never distinguished from those ten by anything but an author's per-arm judgement. The file's own #7528 rationale is what makes it a defect: the receiver is re-read at every use because 'this function then runs ~1160 more lines across a dozen probes that allocate'. arg_handles is the slot, args_ptr is the copy, and the argument that forces one forces the other. Reverted rather than landed: doing it right needs a per-site refreshed_args() (a single refresh at the top is the exact mistake #7528 documents), i.e. 36 individually-checked edits plus a gap run -- a focused change for a clean host, with the shadowing landed alongside so the population cannot regrow. The hot path is unaffected: try_class_vtable_fast_dispatch returns above the scope, so all 36 are already slow paths.

…#7803) schedule_hit short-circuits to true at rate 1, so ALLOC_KB=0 + RATE=1 makes every seed the same 63,941-collection run. Seed 1 already passed that twice. The seed only selects when RATE < 1; pair that with ALLOC_KB=0 so the candidate set stays pinned.
RATE=0.1 + ALLOC_KB=0 makes the seed select. Seed 1 passes the pinned candidate set; seeds 2 and 3 abort the pin-latch on incoherent headers (INTERNED Map, 2 GiB native_pod_view). That is a stale slot, not a real pin. The latch used to print only the garbage; it now prints which walk followed it.
Same class both times (incoherent pinned header), not the same safepoint. Seed 1 still the passing control.
Two of three aborts land on safepoint 21547. Seed 2 is 1/2. Seed 1 passes. The latch is a layout lottery on a pinned schedule.
Seed 3 on the walk-phase binary aborted in mutable_root_slots (safepoints=52836). That walk is three populations. Label each slot shadow_stack / native_stack / global_root so the next abort names which one held the stale pointer.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/gc-root-dominance.yml:
- Around line 697-714: Add ir-corpus-dep-native to the failure artifact
uploader’s artifact paths so the dependency-native IR corpus is retained when
the GC dominance gate fails. Update the existing uploader configuration that
currently includes ir-corpus-native, without changing the dependency-scale check
itself.
- Around line 697-714: Update the dependency-scale native corpus job before the
“Emit the dependency-scale NATIVE (statepoint) IR corpus” step to include the
same Node setup used by the existing gc-root-dominance job, followed by npm ci
--ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund, so required dependencies are installed
before running the generator.
In `@changelog.d/8084-gc-7803-diagnostics-and-rooting.md`:
- Around line 3-9: Rewrite the opening of the changelog entry to describe the
final shipped outcome consistently: state that two root causes were fixed, while
the seed 3 residual is documented and non-blocking. Remove or rework the
contradictory “localized but not fixed” development-slice wording, preserving
the remaining release-note details.
In `@crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/new_dynamic.rs`:
- Around line 695-741: Update crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/call_spread.rs lines
508-551 to root each heap-valued regular argument before spread marshalling,
then reread the rooted values when populating the argument buffer after
js_array_like_to_array or multi-spread conversion. Do not modify the cited
new_dynamic.rs constructor sites at lines 695-741 and 762-784; they require no
direct change because lower_js_args_array performs no collecting operation.
In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/pin.rs`:
- Around line 464-480: Update pinned_young_move_report to build the
valid-pointer census before reading diagnostic memory, and only dereference
addresses proven to belong to a live object. Clamp the target-neighborhood dump
to the identified object’s bounds; when header_addr has no valid object range,
emit an “unavailable” diagnostic instead of reading memory.
In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/roots/stack_maps.rs`:
- Around line 1213-1229: In the derived-root decoding branch, validate the
decoded entries count against the remaining blob bytes before assigning or using
it for Vec::with_capacity: require enough bytes for at least two bytes per
entry, covering each base index and slot. Return None for counts that exceed
this bound, then preserve the existing base-index validation and decoding flow.
- Around line 348-407: Preserve each base slot’s pre-rewrite word across all
matched records at the same ip, rather than recapturing it in visit_record_slots
after an earlier record may have rewritten it. Update the surrounding stack-map
traversal to store or reuse that state and pass it into visit_record_slots,
ensuring rewrite_derived_slot receives the original base word for every matching
record. Add a regression test covering multiple matched records sharing one base
slot.
In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tenuring.rs`:
- Around line 206-210: Update the tenuring threshold handling used by move_young
so PERRY_GC_TENURING_SURVIVALS=255 is treated as an explicit no-age-promotion
sentinel, rather than triggering promotion when next_age saturates at 255.
Preserve normal age-based promotion for all other threshold values and align the
nearby documentation or diagnostics with this behavior.
In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/copying/promoted_remembered_7803.rs`:
- Around line 147-157: Remove the temporary probe block containing the eprintln!
call and its associated page-diagnostic calculations from the test, leaving the
surrounding test logic unchanged.
In `@crates/perry/src/commands/compile/post_link.rs`:
- Line 58: Update the PERRY_KEEP_SYMBOLS condition in the post-link
symbol-retention logic to parse the environment variable’s value rather than
treating any presence as enabled, using the shared boolean parser or equivalent
value-aware check so unset and “0” disable it while “1” enables it. Add coverage
for all three cases.
In `@gc-handoff/7803-NEXT-PROMPT.md`:
- Line 60: Update the table entry containing PERRY_GC_THIS_SET_CHECK so the pipe
in its value is escaped or otherwise represented without being parsed as a
column separator, preserving the table’s two-column structure.
- Line 18: Label the fenced shell code block on line 18 with the sh language
identifier, changing the opening fence to ```sh while preserving the block
contents.
In `@gc-handoff/sweep-unpaced-subrate.sh`:
- Line 12: Update run_one and the batch driver to propagate harness failures:
preserve each target’s recorded status while returning failures from timeout,
redirection, or other harness operations; enable pipefail; validate that the
seed range is ordered and non-empty; verify required commands before execution;
and emit the DRIVER DONE marker only after the driver completes successfully,
without treating expected target failures as harness failures.
- Around line 14-15: Update the output-directory setup around OUT, RATE, and the
ZOD_BIN configuration so runs with different effective rates or binaries do not
reuse the same default directory. Derive OUT from the effective configuration or
create a unique run directory, and ensure each result records the corresponding
RATE and BIN to prevent file overwrites and mixed summary.log entries.

Upload the dependency-native IR corpus on failure.
The failure uploader includes ir-corpus-native only. A failure in this new gate does not retain ir-corpus-dep-native, so the checked IR is unavailable for diagnosis.
Add ir-corpus-dep-native to the artifact path.

Install npm dependencies before generating the native dependency corpus.
This job runs on a fresh runner. It does not run npm ci. The generator exits when node_modules/zod/src/index.ts is absent. The new gate therefore fails before it emits IR.

| `#7803` — the `zod` dependency corpus dying under a seeded GC schedule — is now | ||

| (`result.issues`, where `schema._zod.run({ value, issues: [] }, ctx)` returned | ||

Resolve the contradictory status of #7803 in this fragment.
Line 4 states #7803 is "localized but not fixed". Lines 69 and 100 then state "ROOT CAUSE, FOUND AND FIXED" twice, and line 115 reports seeds 1, 2 and 5 at zero failures. The assembled release note will contain both claims.
Rewrite the opening as the shipped outcome: two root causes fixed, seed 3 residual documented and non-blocking.
Based on learnings, changelog fragments must describe the final shipped behavior as one coherent release-note entry and must not include separate development-slice narratives that contradict one another.

Root regular arguments across spread conversion. In crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/call_spread.rs, regular arguments are stored in an unrooted entry buffer before js_array_like_to_array or multi-spread bundling. Root each heap-valued argument before spread marshalling, then reread it when populating the buffer after that conversion. The interleaved path and both new_dynamic.rs constructor arms do not have this issue; lower_js_args_array emits no collecting operation.

Parse PERRY_KEEP_SYMBOLS by value.
std::env::var("PERRY_KEEP_SYMBOLS").is_ok() enables symbol retention for every set value, including PERRY_KEEP_SYMBOLS=0. The supplied changelog.d/8084-gc-7803-diagnostics-and-rooting.md defines this knob as value-parsed. Use the shared boolean parser, or an equivalent value-aware check, so 0 disables the branch and the documented enable value remains enabled. Add coverage for unset, 0, and 1.

Propagate harness failures before reporting completion.
run_one records the target status but then returns the status of echo, so a missing timeout or failed redirection appears successful to xargs. The batch branch also ignores driver failures. A reversed range can run zero seeds while Line 39 still writes DRIVER DONE. Validate the range and required commands, enable pipefail, and write the completion marker only after the driver succeeds. Keep expected target failures in the per-seed records.

Audited at the landing-equivalent tree (origin/pr-8084 merged with main @ fa83ecab2), not the PR head in isolation.
The fix is right, and the reasoning is checkable
The remembered-set reordering in gc/copying.rs is the real thing. The diagnosis — rebuild_evacuated_old_to_young_remembered_set ran above collector.drain(), so moved_headers held only root-walk moves while the drain promotes most of the reachable heap — is precise, and the reason it went undetected for so long is stated exactly: the collector's own rewrite fires no mutator barrier, so the parent's page is never_dirty rather than stale-dirty. Nothing between the old and new call sites reads the remembered set (drain, then the second scanner round and the FFI root walk, all of which only rewrite), and the note that headers still carry GC_FLAG_MARKED because clear_marks runs later is the detail that makes the move safe rather than merely later.
call_spread.rs uses the correct shape: open_rooted_group because the release has to sit below the consuming call, adopt right after the lower, reread immediately before ctx.block().call with no allocation in between, release after. Shadowing cb_box with the reread means the pre-move register cannot be used by accident — that's a real safety property, not style.
GC_MAP_VERSION = 4 is fail-closed: the parser returns None on mismatch and stack_maps() panics rather than walking a v3 map as v4. Correct direction for this class.
visit_record_slots's contract — old base words captured before the visitor runs, derived slots never handed to the visitor because a derived pointer is not an object start — is well stated, and the consequence that a non-rewriting visitor makes every derived rewrite a no-op by construction is the right way to build a verify pass.
The test is discriminating, and you proved it
drain_promoted_parent_keeps_its_young_child_edge_remembered is the standard this repo should hold. The spacer comment is the part that matters:
the pre-fix ordering passes this test by accident (measured twice while writing it: without the spacer the parent lands 32 bytes after the intermediate)
That is a measurement that the vacuous version fails to fail, not an argument that it would. Same for the raw barrier-free slot write, and for assert_ne! being followed by assert_string_bytes so the check is "points at the live child", not "points somewhere else". The subject-liveness asserts (parent actually in old-gen, child actually still young) fail loudly if the tenuring threshold moves instead of quietly degrading.
Blocking — CI
lint is a required context and goes red on the landing tree. All three are green on main @ fa83ecab2, so they are this branch's:
- 2000-line cap:
crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/roots/stack_maps.rsat 2284,crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/copying.rsat 2004. - addr-class ratchet:
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/this_binding.rs:191[gcheader-cast].
I have these being fixed as pure code motion (the decode/read_uN group and the loaded_stack_map_section* group split out of stack_maps.rs; one small extraction from copying.rs) plus an allowlist entry for the this_binding.rs site — that one is diagnostic-only and already guarded by is_plausible_heap_addr + pointer_in_nursery, and reading the header is the point of the check, so the allowlist is the sanctioned escape rather than a waiver. No behavioural change; I'll land it with the PR.
Blocking — trivial
promoted_remembered_7803.rs still carries a // TEMP PROBE block with an eprintln! of page-dirty state. Debug scaffolding; drop it before merge. (If the page-dirty relationship is load-bearing enough to keep, it should be an assert, not a print — it is currently the one thing in that test that observes without checking.)
Non-blocking — a declined derived rewrite is unobservable
rewrite_derived_slot has five silent early returns (base unmoved, three decode_root_word failures, and the MAX_DERIVED_DELTA guard), takes no stats, and NativeStackWalkStats has no derived field at all — no derived_visited, no derived_rewritten, no derived_declined.
Declining is not the safe side here. If the base moved and the derived slot is not rewritten, the slot keeps a from-space address, which is the exact symptom this PR exists to remove. The difference between "rewrote with a bogus delta" and "left it stale" is which corruption you get, not whether you get one.
Two specifics worth a counter rather than a redesign:
delta = old_derived.addr().wrapping_sub(old_base.addr())is unsigned, so any derived pointer sitting before its base wraps to a hugeusizeand silently failsdelta > MAX_DERIVED_DELTA. The cap's doc comment justifies itself only over forward offsets. I could not construct a reachable case — the emitter records frame locations and the delta is a runtime quantity, and a before-base interior pointer would have to originate in RS4GC-tracked IR rather than runtime Rust — so I'm calling this unobserved, not broken.- With
PERRY_GC_NATIVE_SLOT_VERIFY=1landing here as the instrument, a declined derived rewrite would surface as a verify abort with no attribution to the decline that caused it.
A derived_declined counter (bumped per return path, or at least one shared counter) would make both of those a first-look answer. Given the seed-3 residual is characterized as a survivor page absent from every classifier snapshot — a different mechanism — this is not me suggesting it explains the residual. It's that this PR's whole thesis is that silent staleness is what costs weeks, and the new code has one more silent path in it.
Residual
The PR is straight about seed 3: 3 of 4 seeds flip clean, the fourth is characterized to slot/record/creation-cycle in §40/§42 with a named next instrument, and the sabotage check (spread-new tests go red with the two lowering files reverted) means the passing seeds are attributable. That is the right way to ship a partial fix, and it does not block the parts that are proven.
Merging once the three lint items are in and CI is green.

…2/3 (40/40 seeded)
Three merge blockers, none touching the rooting fixes themselves. cargo-test (a REQUIRED context) never reached a summary: the branch's neighborhood dump in `pinned_young_move_report` dereferences `header_addr - 64 .. +88` with no mapping check, and four pre-existing tests call it with fabricated addresses (`0x1000 - 64` is guaranteed unmapped). The binary died with SIGSEGV at test 452 of 2390. A report printed on the way to an abort must not SIGSEGV and destroy itself, so both this dump and the native root-slot read now classify against the arena's page metadata — a real mapping check, not a magnitude guess — and print a placeholder instead. A stale from-space address, the #7803 case the dump exists for, still classifies into a live space, so the diagnostic is unchanged where it matters. 2000-line cap: `stack_maps.rs` 2284 -> 1676 and `copying.rs` 2004 -> 1764, by pure code motion. The decode primitives and the object-file section loaders move to `stack_maps_decode.rs` and `stack_maps_sections.rs`; the pointer-classification unit moves to `copying_pointer_set.rs` as a SIBLING of `copying.rs` rather than a child, because its bodies name `super::gc_moving_loop_polls_enabled` and `super::malloc::ensure_set_built` — under `gc` those still resolve, so the move is zero-diff. addr-class ratchet: `this_binding.rs` used a hand-rolled GcHeader cast. `addr_class::try_read_gc_header` already exists and is behaviorally identical here, so route through it rather than take an allowlist exemption. Also drops a leftover `// TEMP PROBE` eprintln from the #7803 regression test. perry-runtime --lib: 2386 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored.

Derive the record-count offset from entry.
The emitter writes 12-byte entries for ILP32 maps. The pre-scan still uses a 16-byte stride and reads offset 12. This miscomputes record_total, which can reject a valid map or start varint decoding at the wrong position. Use the same width-dependent calculation as the function loop.

Validate the Mach-O magic and bound the load-command walk.
Line 94 casts the image header to MachHeader64 without checking magic. The cfg at line 23 is target_vendor = "apple" with no pointer-width gate, so a 32-bit Apple target reaches this code. On arm64_32 the header is mach_header (28 bytes), not mach_header_64 (32 bytes). The command pointer then starts 4 bytes past the first load command, and the walk reads unrelated bytes as load commands and sections.
The doc comment at lines 20-22 states this loader is 64-bit only, but no cfg enforces that. stack_maps_decode.rs accepts 12-byte function entries, so an ILP32 map format exists.
Line 99 also walks command_count commands without bounding command_ptr by header.commands_size, so a bad count reads past the command region.
Based on learnings, arm64_32-apple-watchos is a supported ILP32 target for native GC compact maps, so this cfg does select a 32-bit Apple target.

The Windows dylib path links Perry-generated obj_paths into a .dll, and LoadLibraryW loads that DLL. GetModuleHandleW(NULL) scans only the host executable, so the DLL’s native roots are omitted. Enumerate loaded PE modules and register each .pgcmap section, or enforce that generated code cannot be emitted into a DLL.

342, Update loaded_stack_map_section to enumerate all loaded PE modules rather
than only the host executable returned by GetModuleHandleW(NULL), and inspect
each module for its .pgcmap section. Register or return every discovered section
so Perry-generated roots in LoadLibraryW-loaded DLLs are included; do not retain
the single-module assumption.

Both legs of `rustc-warnings` have been red on main and every PR with `error: unused doc comment`. That job runs `RUSTFLAGS: -D warnings`, so a warning that is cosmetic elsewhere is fatal there. rustdoc discards a `///` block attached to a macro invocation. This one sat above `crate::perry_thread_local!` in stack_maps.rs and arrived with #8084's #7803 native-slot verifier. Keep the text — it explains why the verifier exists — as a plain `//` comment, with a note recording why it cannot be `///`. Verified: `RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo check -p perry-runtime --lib` fails on main and exits 0 here, with zero warnings. Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com>

…eds (#8172) `gc-root-dominance-statepoints` has failed on every `main` run and every PR since #8084, with "node_modules/zod/src/index.ts is missing". #8084 added the dependency-scale native corpus to this job. That corpus compiles `node_modules/zod`, but `actions/setup-node` and `npm ci` live only in the sibling `gc-root-dominance` job, so this one died in setup before the checker ran. The arm that was dark is the one covering the SHIPPED lowering — statepoints are the default on aarch64 and x86-64 — while its green sibling covers the shadow frame. The gate looked like it was watching the default configuration and was watching nothing. Matches the sibling exactly: setup-node@v7 pinned by .node-version, `npm ci --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund`. Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com>

Replaces a bad rebase. Replaying this branch's commits onto a main that had moved ~50 commits reverted 14 merged PRs (#8097-#8186): their changelog fragments and source files were deleted and main's newer edits to shared files were undone, which is what turned CI red across conformance-smoke, Warnings, cargo-test and e2e-scoped. A 3-way merge cannot do that, so take it. Conflicts resolved toward main wherever main has since improved the file: - eh.rs, array/generic.rs, gc/roots/stack_maps.rs: main's versions wholesale. Main already carries this branch's landing-pad semantics, the arraylike accessor conversions and the stack-map trace (via #8131), plus fixes this branch predates - #8176's plain-comment form on the thread_local (a doc comment there is a hard error under -D warnings) and #8164's env_flag polarity for the trace knob. - gc/fromspace_scan.rs: main's file (it has #8084's counted slack bound and the payload preview), re-adding only the owner/target header dump that is unique here. - gc/tests/runtime_roots.rs: union of both module lists. Also folds in the CodeRabbit review: - the changeset no longer claims half the cold starts run under forced evacuation - that arm is opt-in and off by default (#8163); - the holder sweep is budget-bounded, and an exhausted budget is reported as such rather than as 'no holder' - a signal handler that walks an unbounded heap can lose the re-fault to a CI timeout, and conflating 'did not finish' with 'found nothing' is how an instrument starts lying; - a method-LOCAL class-self shadowing test, which exercises a different lowering path from the parameter case (sabotage-verified: removing the shadowing check fails both); - the bound-method fixture derives its name length from the literal, and the computed-require assertion no longer embeds emitter whitespace. Skipped, with reason: the tempdir and blanking-assertion nitpicks are pre-existing code this branch's file split merely relocated, and the 'redundant handle reloads' one was already resolved by converting that builder to with_mut_ptr.

Investigation and fixes for #7803. The principal root cause is found and fixed; 3 of the 4 aborting seeds flip to clean. One characterized window remains (seed 3) — it is documented, instrumented, and does not block the fixes here.
The root cause (session 4,
gc-handoff/ZOD-NOTES.md§39–§40)The compact GC map (
perry-codegen/src/gc_map.rs) was built on the stated premise that "Perry has no interior pointers" and collapsed every RS4GC statepoint (base, derived) pair into one slot. The premise is false: the RS4GC prelude (mem2reg,sccp) hoists for-of element GEPs into values that live across polls, and LLVM records them as derived pointers. With the pairing discarded:&elements[i]as an object start — reading array element words as aGcHeader(every "incoherent header" the pin-latch ever printed — INTERNED-on-map,0x7FFF…sizes — was exactly this);base' + delta— the dangling cursor whose deref isparse.ts:65.The shadow-stack era re-derived cursors per iteration, which is why the class was born at #7370's statepoint default, why

(base_index, reg, offset)derived entries (repeat-flag shared, version-gated fail-closed both sides); all three walkers (Itanium unwind, aarch64 fp-chain, Windows RtlVirtualUnwind) exclude derived slots from the visited-root set and rewrite them from their base after it moves, preserving each slot's stored form.Measured flip (pinned schedule
