… an instance A class carrying a generic computed member lost `this.prototype` (and every other static-`this` read, and static-`this` writes) inside all of its static methods, while the same property read through the class's own binding answered correctly — one function, two answers. `class_has_computed_runtime_members` says the class's INSTANCES have keys the packed shape does not describe, so an instance access must go by name. The by-name helper strips the receiver NaN-box to a raw `ObjectHeader*`. But `receiver_class_name` answers with the owning class for `Expr::This` in a static body just as in an instance body (both read `class_stack`), and a static body's `this` is the class CONSTRUCTOR — an INT32 class ref. Masking it handed the runtime the bare class id as a pointer, below the handle band, so every such read answered `undefined`; `this.name` survived only because `js_object_get_field_by_name_f64` already reads a small-integer receiver back as a class id for that one key. `FnCtx::in_static_member` records what the receiver-class answer cannot, and the computed-member read/store routes consult it before treating a proven class name as a claim about the receiver's layout. Static bodies fall through to the general dispatch tower, which classifies the receiver tag and has a class-ref arm — the same lowering the identical static method already got when its class carried no computed member. This is what took `cc --help` down (PerryTS#9341): PerryTS#9315 routed well-known-symbol computed members onto the generic path, and axios's `AxiosHeaders` pairs `[Symbol.iterator]()` with `static accessor(){ let z = this.prototype; … }`. Refs PerryTS#9369, PerryTS#9341. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Preserve static-member context for lexical closures.
When an arrow captures this from a static method, its this is still the class constructor. This assignment makes is_static_class_this(Expr::This) return false in that closure. A computed access such as this[key] can then use instance-only lowering and reinterpret the class-reference NaN-box as an instance pointer. Propagate the enclosing static-member state into closures that capture this instead of clearing it unconditionally.

…rt source identity (from #9465) (#9472) * fix(codegen,runtime): static `this` is the constructor, not an instance (#9404) Inside a `static` body, `this` is the class CONSTRUCTOR — an INT32 class ref — not a heap instance. Two independent defects both made instance members resolve on it, and each is reachable on its own. 1. `receiver_class_name(Expr::This)` and `static_type_of(Expr::This)` answered `Named(class_stack.last())` in a static body exactly as in an instance body, so every consumer was entitled to prove instance facts about the constructor object: field slots, shape ids, direct method dispatch. Both now return `None` under `FnCtx::in_static_member`, and `CodegenTypeFacts::this_type` carries the same gate so the generic HIR inference cannot re-derive the instance type for an expression that merely CONTAINS `this`. This closes the alias residual #9386 left open (`static viaLocal(){ const t = this; … }`: `undefined|` -> `object|9`). "The constructor object of C" would not be a better answer: static members are inherited, so a static body's `this` is whatever subclass the call came through. `None` is the only sound answer. 2. Declared instance methods are mirrored onto the reflective `C.prototype` object as own data fields, and the CONSTRUCTOR-side read in `js_object_get_field_by_name` walked that object via `resolve_proto_chain_field`. So `class P { m(){} }` gave `typeof P.m === "function"` and `P.m === P.prototype.m` with no `this` involved at all. `js_object_has_property` already had the gate (`"m" in P` was correctly false); the receiver-less `resolve_proto_chain_field` — whose one caller is that static-side read — now refuses a name that `class_instance_has_member` reports as a prototype method/getter/setter of the chain. Keyed on that predicate, NOT on "skip the decl-prototype entirely". The blanket form was tried and measured: it also removes `C.constructor`, which the decl-prototype carries as a data field, and that answer is load-bearing because perry hands a PROPERTY DECORATOR the class itself where the spec hands `Class.prototype` — so NestJS-style `Reflect.defineMetadata(k, v, target.constructor)` relies on `C.constructor === C`. Node says `Function`; perry has two divergences that cancel, and the blanket form took `test_decorators_nest_common_canary` and `test_decorators_legacy_property_metadata` from pass to parity_fail. The decorator-target defect is the one worth fixing and is not this issue. The `class_prototype_object` step is never skipped: for a subclass of a class-EXPRESSION value it holds the parent CLASS OBJECT (#1788/#6552), genuinely on the constructor's static chain. Known residual, deliberately not asserted in the fixture: the CALL form `this.m()` in a static body still resolves the instance vtable method. The value read is fixed, and both `P.m()` and read-then-call throw correctly; the residual is keyed on the runtime class id (an inherited `static go(){ return this.m() }` called on a subclass runs the SUBCLASS's override), so it is the runtime call tower, not a codegen direct call. Repro in the fixture's comment. Refs #9404, #9369, #9386. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp * fix: class `.name`, `toString` and inspect report source identity (#9413) Three leaks of the compiler's internal class identity into user-visible strings, plus the missing half of `Function.prototype.toString`. `.name` reported the disambiguation key. Two `class Made {}` in sibling scopes are distinct classes, so the second registers under a uniquified key (`Made$0`) to keep the name-keyed dedup from aliasing the bodies; that key reached `js_register_class_name`. And a class expression constructed IN PLACE lost its name entirely: `new (class Q {})()` gave `__anon_class_6`, `new (class extends Error {})("m")` gave `__anon_class_8` where node gives `""`. Both are fixed by populating the existing `Module::class_display_names` override that `codegen/string_pool.rs` already prefers over the registration key — the sibling `lower_expr/arm_class.rs` had recorded exactly that since #5592. `console.log(C)` / `util.inspect(C)` printed the raw class id (`6`): a class ref shares the INT32 encoding with a tagged small integer, and the console formatter's `is_int32()` arm printed the payload. It now renders node's `[class Klass]` / `[class Sub extends Named]` / `[class (anonymous)]`, gated on the class-id registry — the same probe `js_jsvalue_to_string` already used, so a plain small integer whose value collides with a live class id still prints as a number (asserted). `String(C)` / `C.toString()` returned `function C() { [native code] }`. Perry already retained function source (`closure_source_text`, #4101); the same span-slice-at-lowering mechanism, keyed by ClassId, was simply never applied to classes — the one callable kind that is not a ClosureHeader and so cannot recover source from the closure registry. `Module::class_source_text` is sliced against `ast::Class::span`, emitted as `js_register_class_source`, and read by all three class-ref toString sites. A class with no registered source keeps the `[native code]` form, which Test262's `assertToStringOrNativeFunction` accepts. Monomorphized specializations inherit the origin's source, as #7632 makes them inherit its name. Not addressed: `String(C.prototype.m)` for a class METHOD still returns `function () { [native code] }`. Class methods compile to `perry_method_*` symbols rather than closures with a registered source, so that needs the method-side equivalent of the closure source registry. Object-literal methods already work and are kept in the fixture as the control. Refs #9413, #5592, #4101, #7632.

Fixes #9369 and with it #9341:
claude --help— the primary real-application parity workload — has been broken onmainfor over a day, and every cc measurement taken against main has been void.cc parity gate: PASS.
cli_2.1.112.jscompilesrc=0;--helpis rc=0, 9,175 bytes, byte-identical to node, 3/3 runs — and it also passed at the pre-rebase base, so the result is not an artifact of one build.Root cause
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/property_get.rs:1353and its store twinproperty_set.rs:901:class_has_computed_runtime_membersis a statement about a class's instances — their keys aren't described by the packed shape, so an instance access must go by name — and that route strips the receiver NaN-box to a rawObjectHeader*. Butreceiver_class_name(Expr::This)answers with the owning class in a static body exactly as in an instance body; both just readclass_stack.A static body's
thisis the class constructor, so masking it fed the runtime a bare class id below the handle band. Every static-thisread answeredundefined—prototype, static fields, everything — and static-thiswrites were dropped. Instance methods were untouched, because theirthisreally is a heap instance.The fingerprint that proves it:
this.nameanswers correctly whilethis.prototypedoesn't.js_object_get_field_by_name_f64has a0 < obj < 0x10000 ⇒ obj is a class idrescue arm that handles only"name"— so the one key with a rescue survived. The IR is unambiguous:The fix (+170 / −2, 9 files)
FnCtx::in_static_member(true only incompile_static_method) records what the receiver-class answer cannot carry, andFnCtx::is_static_class_thisgates both computed-member routes. Static bodies fall through to the general dispatch tower, which classifies the receiver tag and already has apget.recv_class_refarm — so a static method of a computed-member class now lowers exactly like the same method on a class without one.It covers the family rather than one property, because nothing in it names a property. One class with and without a computed member:

#9362, #9364, #9365 and #9366 all still reproduce on the fixed toolchain. Different mechanisms — the shared symptom string was a coincidence, and that is worth recording so nobody assumes otherwise.
One residual, deliberately not folded in
The alias shape is not fixed:
That receiver is
LocalGet, notExpr::This, and reaches the same route via the metadata-onlyguarded_declared_class_get_candidatefallback. The root is one level up and is not computed-member-specific:static_type_of(Expr::This)returnsNamed(class_stack.last())in a static body, whichrefine_type_from_initwrites intolocal_types. The same leak shows on a class with no computed members —typeof this.instanceMethodanswers"function"where node saysundefined.Fixing that means making
static_type_of/receiver_class_namehonest about staticthis, which changes every consumer of that answer inside static bodies. Materially larger, and not something to fold into a change whose job is to unblock the gate.Summary by CodeRabbit
