Follow-up to PerryTS#9294, from the review flag on its sibling PR (PerryTS#9303's closing review): "nested affine arithmetic can overflow before bounds validation and potentially read a different in-bounds element than the normal path." The flag is correct about the arithmetic. PerryTS#9294's claim that proven-i32 leaves cannot overflow i64 holds for one multiply (|i32 * i32| <= 2^62) and fails beyond it: three chained near-2^31 factors reach 2^93, wrap i64, and a wrapped value landing inside [0, len) passes the unsigned bounds check and silently reads a DIFFERENT element than the generic path -- JS computes the index in doubles, goes out of bounds, and yields `undefined`. Measured honestly: the wrap is LATENT today, not live. Neither a const-folded spelling nor parameter leaves of a triple-multiply chain currently reach the affine lowering -- admission happens to be blocked by which locals carry i32 shadow slots, an accident of unrelated analyses rather than a guarantee. Widening shadow coverage is a plausible future change, and it would have turned this into a silent wrong-read with no failing test anywhere. Both the const-local and parameter spellings were built and run against a main-built compiler to establish that. The fix is `affine_index_magnitude_bound`: interval arithmetic in i128 at match time with every leaf at its i32 extreme, admitting a tree only when its worst case fits i63 -- so the guarantee is structural and admission costs nothing at run time. `i * size + k` (2^62 + 2^31) stays admitted; matmul's affine blocks and numbers are unchanged (4 blocks, 72ms, checksum identical). One shared predicate (`affine_index_fits_i64`) gates BOTH the matcher and the lowering, so the two cannot drift. The tripwire test pins the exact 2^64 tree (2^21 * 2^22 * (2^21 + k), k=0) to node's NaN under both collector modes. It passes today on both sides of the fix -- by the accident above -- and exists to FAIL the moment admission widens past the bound: the wrapped read would print s:7.5 (element 0, in bounds, wrong) instead. perry-codegen lib 1378/0; issue_9253_affine_range_index 3/3; rustfmt clean.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe compiler now computes an i128 magnitude bound for affine index trees and requires the bound to fit i63 before packed-loop admission and lowering. A regression test checks the 2^64 case under both collector modes. ChangesAffine index overflow guard

…ster (#9337) than node; fixes a live OOB read in the #9294 mixed-array guard 16_matrix_multiply: 100ms -> 16ms against node's 32ms on an idle Mac mini -- 2x FASTER than node, from 3.03x slower at campaign start. Checksums identical under normal and forced-evacuation runs. With this the last benchmark in the suite crosses parity. Three changes, in the order the evidence forced them: 1. WINDOW HOIST. An affine index tree LINEAR in the counter takes its extremes at the interval's endpoints, so the entry guard evaluates each recorded tree at `start` and `bound - 1` (i64, wrap-free by the #9318 magnitude bound) and unsigned-compares both against the live length -- two compares per tree per loop entry, any coefficient sign. Reads under a proven window drop the range clamp and the per-read bounds check: a bare trunc + raw load. Non-linear trees (`k * k`) keep per-read checks. Measured honestly: THIS ALONE MOVED NOTHING (71ms -> 71ms). The checks were not the bottleneck; the IR named the real one -- 25 shadow.root.barrier pairs from `sum` written per k-iteration through a BOXED shadow-slot store, because the accumulator walk's single-array restriction declined a `sum` spanning two arrays. 2. ACCUMULATOR ARRAY AXIS. `collect_numeric_accumulators` now takes the guarded array SET: every array in it is validated by the same AND-reduced entry guard, so a read of any of them inside the clone is a Number by the same argument that held for one. Affine reads qualify as numeric leaves through `affine_leaf_admissible` -- ONE predicate shared by the matcher, the read lowering, and the accumulator walk, so the three cannot drift (#9259's cascade rule). With `sum` unboxed and the loads bare, LLVM strength-reduces and pipelines the k-loop: 71 -> 18ms. 3. LIVE GUARD HOLE CLOSED. #9294's affine guard arm took its receiver-only `continue` for arrays with BOTH counter-offset and affine accesses, skipping the windowed guard while the counter fact still said `window_validated: true`. PROVEN LIVE against a main-built compiler: the mixed fixture `s = s*1.0 + a[k+1] + a[i*size+k]` prints s:127 on main where node prints NaN -- `a[k+1]` at the boundary reads one raw slot past the window. Mixed arrays now fall through to the windowed guard, with the affine endpoint proof appended to either path; the fixture is pinned to node's NaN under both collector modes. The #9294 admission test's detector also moves from the per-read `packed_f64_affine.index_fits` block name (legitimately gone under a proven window) to the receiver-only guard symbol. Gates: 17 regression tests across 5 suites green (incl. the new mixed-shape test); perry-codegen lib 1379/0; perry-runtime lib 2904/0 single-threaded; rustfmt clean; matmul checksum identical under PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE.

Follow-up to #9294, acting on the review flag posted on #9303's closing review: "nested affine arithmetic can overflow before bounds validation and potentially read a different in-bounds element than the normal path."
The flag is right about the arithmetic. #9294's soundness claim — proven-i32 leaves cannot overflow the i64 materialization — holds for one multiply (
|i32 · i32| ≤ 2⁶²) and fails beyond it: three chained near-2³¹ factors reach 2⁹³, wrap i64, and a wrapped value landing inside[0, len)passes the unsigned bounds check and silently reads a different element than the generic path (JS computes the index in doubles, goes out of bounds, yieldsundefined).Measured honestly: the wrap is latent, not live. I built the exact 2⁶⁴ tree (
2²¹ · 2²² · (2²¹ + k)) in both a const-folded spelling and a parameter-leaf spelling and ran both against a main-built compiler: neither reaches the affine lowering today — admission happens to be blocked by which locals carry i32 shadow slots, an accident of unrelated analyses, not a guarantee. Widening shadow coverage is a plausible future change, and it would have turned this into a silent wrong-read with no failing test anywhere.The fix
affine_index_magnitude_bound: interval arithmetic in i128 at match time, every leaf at its i32 extreme, admit only when the worst case fits i63. The guarantee becomes structural and admission costs nothing at run time. One shared predicate (affine_index_fits_i64) gates both the matcher and the lowering — the drift rule from #9259/#9312, applied here before the two could disagree.i * size + kbounds at 2⁶² + 2³¹ → stays admitted. Matmul control: 4 affine blocks, 72 ms, checksum identical — unchanged.The tripwire
The test pins the 2⁶⁴ tree to node's
NaNunder both collector modes. It passes today on both sides of the fix — by the accident above, verified against a main-built baseline — and exists to fail the moment admission widens past the bound: the wrapped read would prints:7.5(element 0, in bounds, wrong). The commit message records the reachability analysis so a future reader knows the test's passing-on-main was established, not assumed.Gates
