Three independent correctness fixes found by a differential stress-test of claude-code, one commit each.

cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib -- --test-threads=1: 2919 passed, 0 failed. All three fixtures byte-identical to node --experimental-strip-types, and each demonstrated failing on a compiler built from unfixed origin/main before the fix.


#9402 — SIGPIPE killed every compiled program

The root cause is structural, not a missing line. A perry program has its own C main emitted by codegen, so it never runs Rust's std::rt startup — which is exactly where an ordinary Rust binary gets SIGPIPE set to SIG_IGN. Every compiled program inherited the default disposition and died mid-write on any truncating consumer (| head, | grep -q, | less and quit).

Fix: ignore_sigpipe_at_startup() in os/signal.rs, called from js_gc_init — the first runtime call of every main/perry_module_init, so every program gets it. Installed once and only over SIG_DFL, so an embedder's disposition and a later process.on('SIGPIPE') are untouched.

The half a one-liner would have missed: ignoring the signal alone trades exit 141 for exit 134, because std's println! panics on the resulting EPIPE and perry builds panic = "abort". Node's console never throws (node -e 'for(;;)console.log(1)' | head -2 → rc 0), so the console.* family's macros are shadowed in builtins/mod.rs with writers that drop the write error. Runtime diagnostics keep std's macros.

Write errors still surface where node surfaces them: fs.writeSync(1, …) into a closed pipe throws EPIPE in both. Residual, documented in the changelog: process.stdout.write swallows EPIPE where node emits an 'error' event and exits 1 — stream plumbing, not signals.

Test re-runs itself through bash and pipes 50,000 lines into head -2, reporting the writer's status: node 0, unfixed main 141, fixed 0.

#9401 — a non-UTF-8 argv byte aborted the process

std::env::args() panics on a non-Unicode argument. Node decodes leniently — verified that $'\xff\xfe\x80abc\xc3\x28' arrives as fffd fffd fffd 61 62 63 fffd 28, i.e. byte-for-byte String::from_utf8_lossy. One process_args_lossy() over args_os() now backs every reader.

The grep turned up nine sites in the runtime, all reachable — and process.argv was not the worst:

site reached by
node_submodules/trace_events.rs called from js_gc_init — the process died before a line of JS ran
os.rs js_process_argv process.argv
process/permission.rs ×3 permission-model flag scan
process/report.rs ×2 process.report
process/attributes.rs process.title
cluster.rs ×2 cluster exec-path defaulting
child_process/options.rs self-launch detection in spawn
process.rs process.argv0 / execPath

Three more outside the runtime fixed (perry-stdlib/commander.rs, perry-ext-commander, and the compiler CLI itself); three UI-crate sites of the same shape reported rather than touched. env::var() needs nothing — it returns Err for non-Unicode, and there are no unwraps on it.

Test re-runs itself through sh (byte-oriented, so it can build an argument the source file cannot contain): unfixed main gives child-signal: SIGABRT; fixed matches node.

#9394 — sloppy-mode array element stores threw

Root cause: #9326 switched the cold element-store continuation to js_array_set_index_or_string_strict unconditionally. The inline store guard declines exactly the receivers whose write can be rejected — frozen, sealed, non-extensible, descriptor-bearing, prototype-sensitive — so every rejectable shape arrived there and threw, regardless of the assignment's strictness.

Fix: carry the assignment's own Throw flag, which codegen already had and already passes to js_put_value_set. Target-finding is unchanged in both modes#9220's inherited-descriptor walk still runs, so a prototype setter still fires on a sloppy assignment; only the rejection differs. Array mutators keep Throw = true, as their own algorithms specify.

The fixture is a .cts so it is CommonJS in both runtimes, with a sloppy arm and a "use strict" arm — both asserted, since asserting only the throw is what let this through. #9326's own fixture is ESM (therefore strict) and is unchanged and still byte-identical. Two unit tests, both confirmed to fail when the sloppy entry is rewired to the strict one.


Three findings handed off rather than folded in

1. The .cts fixture would have been a dark test three times over. run_parity_tests.sh discovers with find … -name '*.ts', which does not match foo.cts--filter test_gap_9394 selected 0 tests and reported success; basename … .ts named it …strictness.c; and .gitignore re-included only .ts/.tsx under test-files/, so it could not be committed. All three fixed here. Any future fixture whose semantics depend on the module goal would have hit this.

2. Perry never throws on a rejected strict ordinary-object write — the mirror image of #9394 on the object path. Codegen emits js_put_value_set(..., strict = 0) at every property-set site, so "use strict"; Object.freeze(o); o.x = 9 is silent where node throws. Deliberately out of scope here; deserves its own issue.

3. Module-init code is lowered with is_strict_fn: false even for an ESM. It happens not to bite #9394 because a[i] = v carries real strictness through Expr::PutValueSet, but any Expr::IndexSet produced by another lowering (for-heads, destructuring) reads the wrong strictness at module top level.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Array writes now match JavaScript strict-mode behavior: rejected writes throw only in strict code and are ignored in sloppy code.
    • Non-UTF-8 command-line arguments are handled safely using replacement characters instead of terminating the process.
    • Programs piped to truncating consumers now exit successfully, matching Node.js behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for array-write strictness, invalid command-line arguments, and truncated output streams.
    • Expanded test discovery to include CommonJS and ESM fixtures.

… program (PerryTS#9402)

`claude auto-mode defaults | head -2` exited 141 (128 + SIGPIPE) under Perry
and 0 under Node, deterministically. Every pipeline that stops reading early
hit it: `| head`, `| grep -q`, `| less` then `q`, a client that closed its
socket.

A Perry program has its own C `main`, emitted by codegen, so it never runs
Rust's `std::rt` startup — and that startup is where an ordinary Rust binary
gets SIGPIPE set to SIG_IGN. The compiled program therefore inherited the
signal's default disposition and died mid-write, with no JS-visible event and
nothing to catch. Node ignores the signal and lets the failing write(2) return
EPIPE to the writer instead.

`ignore_sigpipe_at_startup()` installs SIG_IGN once per process and only over
SIG_DFL, so an embedder's own disposition and a later `process.on('SIGPIPE')`
are both untouched. It is called from `js_gc_init`, the first runtime call of
every `main` / `perry_module_init`, so every compiled program gets it before a
byte can be written. Unix only: Windows has no SIGPIPE.

Ignoring the signal alone would have traded exit 141 for exit 134 — `std`'s
`println!` turns the resulting EPIPE into a panic and Perry builds with
`panic = "abort"`. Node's console is specified never to throw, so the
`console.*` family's print macros are shadowed with writers that drop the write
error. The shadowing is confined to the `builtins` tree, alongside the existing
harmonyos hilog override; diagnostics elsewhere keep `std`'s macros.

`fs.writeSync(1, …)` to a closed pipe now throws EPIPE, matching Node — write
errors still reach JavaScript rather than being swallowed.

test-files/test_gap_9402_sigpipe_truncating_consumer.ts re-runs itself through
bash, pipes 50000 lines into `head -2` and reports the WRITER's status.
Byte-compared against node 26.5.1: node `writer-status=0`; a compiler built
from unfixed origin/main reports `writer-status=141`; with this change,
identical to node.
…TS#9401)

`claude -p $'\xff\xfe\x80abc\xc3\x28'` died with SIGABRT and a raw Rust
backtrace — "panicked at library/std/src/env.rs:878:51: called
`Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value" — where Node prints the program's own
output. `std::env::args()` panics on an argument that is not valid Unicode, and
non-UTF-8 filenames are ordinary on Linux, so anything that passes a path
through reached it.

Node decodes argv leniently: every invalid byte becomes U+FFFD. Verified
against node 26.5.1 — `$'\xff\xfe\x80abc\xc3\x28'` arrives as the eight code
points fffd fffd fffd 61 62 63 fffd 28, byte-for-byte `String::from_utf8_lossy`.

One `process_args_lossy()` over `std::env::args_os()` now backs every argv
reader in the runtime, so a single bad byte cannot resurrect the abort in a
path nobody thought to check. There were NINE, all reachable, and the panic was
not confined to `process.argv`:

  - os.rs `js_process_argv` — `process.argv`
  - node_submodules/trace_events.rs — reads argv from `js_gc_init`, so the
    process died before a line of JavaScript ran, whatever the program did
  - process/permission.rs (x3) — the permission-model flag scan
  - process/report.rs (x2) — `process.report`
  - process/attributes.rs — `process.title`
  - cluster.rs (x2) — cluster exec-path defaulting
  - child_process/options.rs — self-launch detection in `spawn`
  - process.rs `process_argv0_string` — `process.argv0` / `execPath`

Three more outside the runtime, same shape, same fix: perry-stdlib and
perry-ext-commander (`program.parse()` with no explicit argv), and the compiler
CLI's own arguments in perry/src/{main,update_policy}.rs, so `perry compile` on
a non-UTF-8 path reports a diagnostic instead of a backtrace.

`std::env::var()` needs no equivalent change: it returns Err for a non-Unicode
value rather than panicking, and the runtime has no `env::var(..).unwrap()`.

test-files/test_gap_9401_non_utf8_argv.ts re-runs itself through `sh` (which is
byte-oriented, so it can build an argument the source file cannot contain) and
prints the decoded length, code points and UTF-8 bytes. Byte-compared against
node 26.5.1: a compiler built from unfixed origin/main reports
`child-status: null / child-signal: SIGABRT`; with this change, identical to
node.

Not touched, same shape, reported rather than changed: perry-ui-gtk4
src/tray.rs, perry-ui-macos src/app.rs, perry-ui src/bin/styling-matrix.rs.
…de (PerryTS#9394)

    const a = [1]; Object.freeze(a); a[0] = 9;               // node silent, Perry TypeError
    const a2 = [1]; Object.freeze(a2); a2[5] = 9;            // node silent, Perry TypeError

ES2024 6.2.5.7 (PutValue) calls Set(O, P, V, Throw) with Throw =
IsStrictReference, so a failed [[Set]] throws ONLY in strict mode — for an
Array exactly as for the ordinary object that was already right. A CommonJS
bundle is sloppy code from top to bottom, which is where this surfaced.

Introduced by PerryTS#9326 (the merge of PerryTS#9297, live again via PerryTS#9370). That change is
right about what it set out to fix — an inherited accessor must run, an
inherited non-writable index must reject — but it reached the rejection by
routing the cold element-store continuation through the STRICT runtime entry
unconditionally. The inline store guard declines exactly the receivers whose
write can be rejected (frozen, sealed, non-extensible, descriptor-bearing,
prototype-sensitive), so every one of those shapes arrived there and threw.

The fix carries the assignment's own Throw flag, which codegen already had and
already passes to the ordinary-object [[Set]] and to `js_dyn_index_set_strict`.
Finding the target is unchanged in both modes — the PerryTS#9220 inherited-descriptor
walk still runs, so a prototype setter still fires on a sloppy assignment; only
the rejection differs.

  - codegen: `assignment_strict` reaches
    `js_typed_feedback_array_index_set_fallback_boxed` and
    `js_typed_feedback_array_set_index_or_string` (one new trailing i32 each).
  - array/indexing.rs: the strict entry's body is strictness-parameterised
    (`js_array_set_f64_extend_sloppy` is the sloppy twin); `array_spec_set`
    takes Throw and returns the receiver unchanged instead of throwing when it
    is false. Array mutators keep Throw = true: their own algorithms specify it
    regardless of the calling code.
  - value/dyn_index.rs: `js_dyn_index_set_strict` already carried the flag and
    its array arm forced true; it now uses it.

The realloc arm in expr/index.rs deliberately keeps the strict entry: it runs
only for a receiver the guard already accepted, which cannot reject.

test-files/test_gap_9394_array_element_store_strictness.cts is a `.cts`, so it
is a CommonJS script in BOTH runtimes, with a sloppy arm and a "use strict"
arm. BOTH ARMS ARE ASSERTED. Asserting only the throw is precisely what let
this through: PerryTS#9326 shipped with a 64-check differential and a 205-line gap
fixture, all green, none of it sloppy code. Byte-compared against node 26.5.1;
a compiler built from unfixed origin/main reports TypeError for six sloppy
cases where node is silent, and with this change is identical to node. PerryTS#9326's
own fixture (test_gap_9220_9221_array_proto_paths.ts, an ES module and
therefore strict) is unchanged and still byte-identical to node.

Unit tests assert both arms too:
`element_store_rejection_throws_only_in_strict_mode`, and PerryTS#9326's
`typed_feedback_array_set_guards_reject_frozen_arrays`, which now asserts the
silent sloppy call alongside the strict throw. Both were confirmed to FAIL with
the sloppy entry rewired to the strict one.

Three pieces of test infrastructure had to admit a `.cts` fixture at all, each
of which would have made it a DARK TEST: the suite's `find … -name '*.ts'` does
not match `foo.cts`, so the harness never selected it (`--filter test_gap_9394`
selected 0 tests before, and PASSes after); `basename … .ts` named it
`…strictness.c`; and `.gitignore` re-included only `.ts`/`.tsx` under
test-files/, so it could not be committed.

Not addressed here, found while writing the fixture: Perry emits
`js_put_value_set(..., strict = 0)` at EVERY property-set site, so a rejected
strict ordinary-object write is silent where Node throws — the mirror-image gap
on the object path.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0f319

The PR fixes several runtime compatibility issues, but array assignments can still throw incorrectly in sloppy code on multiple slow paths, while signal-listener cleanup may re-enable broken-pipe termination and non-UTF-8 arguments are normalized before some permission and process decisions. These bounded correctness, availability, and policy risks should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Splitting this: the SIGPIPE (#9402) and non-UTF-8 argv (#9401) commits are clean and I am landing them now. The strictness commit (#9394) is blocked on the raw-handle ratchet, and I do not want to fix it the easy way.

The block. 0f3192c149 adds two arr_handle.get_raw_mut_ptr::<ArrayHeader>() reads to array/indexing.rs — the two sloppy-mode early returns in the getter-only and non-writable arms — taking that file from 7 to 9 against a ceiling of exactly 7. raw_handle_debt.py refuses, and --no-raise-vs would refuse a ceiling bump as well.

What I deliberately did not do. All nine reads in array_spec_set are textually identical, so hoisting them behind a closure would take the count to 1 and turn the gate green. That is gaming: the same read still executes nine times, and each one has to stay a re-read because the point is to observe the current pointer after something may have moved it. A scanner-satisfying wrapper that changes nothing at runtime is worse than the debt it hides.

What would actually work, and is yours to choose:

  • Route the two new sloppy-mode no-op returns through the function's existing exit rather than returning early, so they reuse a re-read that is already counted instead of adding two. That looks like the smallest real change.
  • Or convert some of the nine to with_mut_ptr / across_mut. Several are argument-position reads feeding array_has_own_index and array_custom_prototype, so whether that is sound depends on which of those can collect — your call, not mine to guess.

For context on the ceiling being exactly 7: it covers the sites that came back with #9370's reapply of #9297, where I kept array_spec_set in indexing.rs specifically so those seven stayed under the existing ceiling rather than moving to a new module the ratchet would reject.

Incidentally, #9394 is the divergence I hit while probing #9339 — a .ts file with no import/export is CommonJS to node, so a blocked store fails silently there while Perry's module goal made it throw. Good to see it picked up.

Pass assignment_strict to this runtime call.

Line 759 emits four arguments for js_typed_feedback_array_set_index_or_string, but the revised runtime symbol requires a trailing i32 strictness flag. A dynamic array-key assignment can therefore generate an ABI-incompatible call or use an undefined strictness value. Pass 1 or 0 from assignment_strict.

Remove the implementation history, PR chronology, validation transcript, and unrelated out-of-scope defect discussion. Keep one concise release-note entry that describes the sloppy array-write fix.

Based on learnings, changelog fragments must describe final shipped behavior as one coherent release-note entry and must not include separate development-slice narratives.

* fix(runtime): ignore SIGPIPE so a truncating consumer cannot kill the program (#9402)

`claude auto-mode defaults | head -2` exited 141 (128 + SIGPIPE) under Perry
and 0 under Node, deterministically. Every pipeline that stops reading early
hit it: `| head`, `| grep -q`, `| less` then `q`, a client that closed its
socket.

A Perry program has its own C `main`, emitted by codegen, so it never runs
Rust's `std::rt` startup — and that startup is where an ordinary Rust binary
gets SIGPIPE set to SIG_IGN. The compiled program therefore inherited the
signal's default disposition and died mid-write, with no JS-visible event and
nothing to catch. Node ignores the signal and lets the failing write(2) return
EPIPE to the writer instead.

`ignore_sigpipe_at_startup()` installs SIG_IGN once per process and only over
SIG_DFL, so an embedder's own disposition and a later `process.on('SIGPIPE')`
are both untouched. It is called from `js_gc_init`, the first runtime call of
every `main` / `perry_module_init`, so every compiled program gets it before a
byte can be written. Unix only: Windows has no SIGPIPE.

Ignoring the signal alone would have traded exit 141 for exit 134 — `std`'s
`println!` turns the resulting EPIPE into a panic and Perry builds with
`panic = "abort"`. Node's console is specified never to throw, so the
`console.*` family's print macros are shadowed with writers that drop the write
error. The shadowing is confined to the `builtins` tree, alongside the existing
harmonyos hilog override; diagnostics elsewhere keep `std`'s macros.

`fs.writeSync(1, …)` to a closed pipe now throws EPIPE, matching Node — write
errors still reach JavaScript rather than being swallowed.

test-files/test_gap_9402_sigpipe_truncating_consumer.ts re-runs itself through
bash, pipes 50000 lines into `head -2` and reports the WRITER's status.
Byte-compared against node 26.5.1: node `writer-status=0`; a compiler built
from unfixed origin/main reports `writer-status=141`; with this change,
identical to node.

* fix(runtime): a non-UTF-8 argv byte must not abort the process (#9401)

`claude -p $'\xff\xfe\x80abc\xc3\x28'` died with SIGABRT and a raw Rust
backtrace — "panicked at library/std/src/env.rs:878:51: called
`Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value" — where Node prints the program's own
output. `std::env::args()` panics on an argument that is not valid Unicode, and
non-UTF-8 filenames are ordinary on Linux, so anything that passes a path
through reached it.

Node decodes argv leniently: every invalid byte becomes U+FFFD. Verified
against node 26.5.1 — `$'\xff\xfe\x80abc\xc3\x28'` arrives as the eight code
points fffd fffd fffd 61 62 63 fffd 28, byte-for-byte `String::from_utf8_lossy`.

One `process_args_lossy()` over `std::env::args_os()` now backs every argv
reader in the runtime, so a single bad byte cannot resurrect the abort in a
path nobody thought to check. There were NINE, all reachable, and the panic was
not confined to `process.argv`:

  - os.rs `js_process_argv` — `process.argv`
  - node_submodules/trace_events.rs — reads argv from `js_gc_init`, so the
    process died before a line of JavaScript ran, whatever the program did
  - process/permission.rs (x3) — the permission-model flag scan
  - process/report.rs (x2) — `process.report`
  - process/attributes.rs — `process.title`
  - cluster.rs (x2) — cluster exec-path defaulting
  - child_process/options.rs — self-launch detection in `spawn`
  - process.rs `process_argv0_string` — `process.argv0` / `execPath`

Three more outside the runtime, same shape, same fix: perry-stdlib and
perry-ext-commander (`program.parse()` with no explicit argv), and the compiler
CLI's own arguments in perry/src/{main,update_policy}.rs, so `perry compile` on
a non-UTF-8 path reports a diagnostic instead of a backtrace.

`std::env::var()` needs no equivalent change: it returns Err for a non-Unicode
value rather than panicking, and the runtime has no `env::var(..).unwrap()`.

test-files/test_gap_9401_non_utf8_argv.ts re-runs itself through `sh` (which is
byte-oriented, so it can build an argument the source file cannot contain) and
prints the decoded length, code points and UTF-8 bytes. Byte-compared against
node 26.5.1: a compiler built from unfixed origin/main reports
`child-status: null / child-signal: SIGABRT`; with this change, identical to
node.

Not touched, same shape, reported rather than changed: perry-ui-gtk4
src/tray.rs, perry-ui-macos src/app.rs, perry-ui src/bin/styling-matrix.rs.

…de (from #9418) (#9426)

* fix(runtime): a rejected array element write throws only in strict mode (#9394)

    const a = [1]; Object.freeze(a); a[0] = 9;               // node silent, Perry TypeError
    const a2 = [1]; Object.freeze(a2); a2[5] = 9;            // node silent, Perry TypeError
    Object.defineProperty(a3, 0, {writable:false}); a3[0]=9; // node silent, Perry TypeError
    Object.preventExtensions(a4); a4[5] = 9;                 // node silent, Perry TypeError
    const o = {x:1}; Object.freeze(o); o.x = 9;              // node silent, Perry silent (correct)

ES2024 6.2.5.7 (PutValue) calls Set(O, P, V, Throw) with Throw =
IsStrictReference, so a failed [[Set]] throws ONLY in strict mode — for an
Array exactly as for the ordinary object that was already right. A CommonJS
bundle is sloppy code from top to bottom, which is where this surfaced.

Introduced by #9326 (the merge of #9297, live again via #9370). That change is
right about what it set out to fix — an inherited accessor must run, an
inherited non-writable index must reject — but it reached the rejection by
routing the cold element-store continuation through the STRICT runtime entry
unconditionally. The inline store guard declines exactly the receivers whose
write can be rejected (frozen, sealed, non-extensible, descriptor-bearing,
prototype-sensitive), so every one of those shapes arrived there and threw.

The fix carries the assignment's own Throw flag, which codegen already had and
already passes to the ordinary-object [[Set]] and to `js_dyn_index_set_strict`.
Finding the target is unchanged in both modes — the #9220 inherited-descriptor
walk still runs, so a prototype setter still fires on a sloppy assignment; only
the rejection differs.

  - codegen: `assignment_strict` reaches
    `js_typed_feedback_array_index_set_fallback_boxed` and
    `js_typed_feedback_array_set_index_or_string` (one new trailing i32 each).
  - array/indexing.rs: the strict entry's body is strictness-parameterised
    (`js_array_set_f64_extend_sloppy` is the sloppy twin); `array_spec_set`
    takes Throw and returns the receiver unchanged instead of throwing when it
    is false. Array mutators keep Throw = true: their own algorithms specify it
    regardless of the calling code.
  - value/dyn_index.rs: `js_dyn_index_set_strict` already carried the flag and
    its array arm forced true; it now uses it.

The realloc arm in expr/index.rs deliberately keeps the strict entry: it runs
only for a receiver the guard already accepted, which cannot reject.

test-files/test_gap_9394_array_element_store_strictness.cts is a `.cts`, so it
is a CommonJS script in BOTH runtimes, with a sloppy arm and a "use strict"
arm. BOTH ARMS ARE ASSERTED. Asserting only the throw is precisely what let
this through: #9326 shipped with a 64-check differential and a 205-line gap
fixture, all green, none of it sloppy code. Byte-compared against node 26.5.1;
a compiler built from unfixed origin/main reports TypeError for six sloppy
cases where node is silent, and with this change is identical to node. #9326's
own fixture (test_gap_9220_9221_array_proto_paths.ts, an ES module and
therefore strict) is unchanged and still byte-identical to node.

Unit tests assert both arms too:
`element_store_rejection_throws_only_in_strict_mode`, and #9326's
`typed_feedback_array_set_guards_reject_frozen_arrays`, which now asserts the
silent sloppy call alongside the strict throw. Both were confirmed to FAIL with
the sloppy entry rewired to the strict one.

Three pieces of test infrastructure had to admit a `.cts` fixture at all, each
of which would have made it a DARK TEST: the suite's `find … -name '*.ts'` does
not match `foo.cts`, so the harness never selected it (`--filter test_gap_9394`
selected 0 tests before, and PASSes after); `basename … .ts` named it
`…strictness.c`; and `.gitignore` re-included only `.ts`/`.tsx` under
test-files/, so it could not be committed.

Not addressed here, found while writing the fixture: Perry emits
`js_put_value_set(..., strict = 0)` at EVERY property-set site, so a rejected
strict ordinary-object write is silent where Node throws — the mirror-image gap
on the object path.

* refactor(runtime): one exit for prototype-handled array stores

#9394's two sloppy-mode no-op returns took indexing.rs from 7 raw-handle
sites to 9, over its ceiling. Routing every prototype-handled path through a
single exit re-derives the receiver once instead of three times, which is
fewer real re-reads rather than a wrapper that only hides them.

All three commits are now on main: SIGPIPE and non-UTF-8 argv via #9419, and the strictness fix via #9426.

For the third I did the restructure I suggested rather than handing it back. Every path the inherited property fully handles now leaves through a single exit, so the receiver is re-derived once instead of three times — genuinely fewer re-reads, which is what brought indexing.rs back under its ceiling of 7. I deliberately avoided the closure trick that would have shown 1 while still executing nine reads.

Semantics checked rather than assumed: strict mode still throws TypeError on both rejection paths and sloppy stays silent, byte-identical to node.
