Lands #9360 with the aliasing regression fixed. The PR's author's commits are preserved; the fix commit came from a codex agent I ran on it, and I verified the result independently rather than accepting its report.

The bug it was blocked on

#9360 regressed test_gap_typedarray_buffer_aliasing_7219#7219's own regression fixture:

const words = new Uint32Array(2);
const bytes = new Uint8Array(words.buffer);
words[0] = 0x01020304; words[1] = 0x05060708;
bytes[0..7]
node 4 3 2 1 8 7 6 5
#9360 before this fix 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Root cause

u8_inline_cache_try_prime admitted registered buffer views. A view's inline bytes are only a snapshot: runtime reads resolve through buffer/view.rs to the authoritative backing, which a sibling typed array can change without refreshing that snapshot.

So the first read missed the cache, took the authoritative path and was correct — then admitted the view. Every later read hit the cache and returned the stale snapshot. That is exactly the observed signature: index 0 right, everything after it zero.

The old doc comment asserted the opposite — that view copies "ARE admissible" because write-propagation keeps their inline bytes current — and that assumption is what the fix corrects.

The fix is one condition: super::view::lookup(addr).is_none() in the admission check. #9360's registry-miss recovery is untouched; registered views still read through js_uint8array_index_get_value. Only the unsafe cache admission narrowed.

Verification I did myself

  • My own probes, written before the fix existed and used to characterise the bug, now match node: the 8-byte stride probe (4 3 2 1 8 7 6 5) and the write/read discriminator (u32 readback intact, bytes: 4 3 2 1).
  • test_gap_typedarray_buffer_aliasing_7219.ts byte-identical to the pinned Node 26.5.1 oracle.
  • No baseline, allowlist, snapshot or ratchet file appears in the diff — I checked the changed-file list explicitly.
  • Gates re-run by me in that worktree: file-size, raw-handle, addr-class, root-holder, shape-census, thread-local, fmt — all pass.

The agent additionally reported perry-runtime 2,931 passed / 0 failed and the #9342 integration suite 3/3.

A correction to my own earlier analysis

I had posted that the surface was narrowed to typedarray/access.rs or buffer/header.rs after excluding the codegen lowering by symbol evidence (nm shows no js_u8_buffer_read_f64). That exclusion was correct but I drew too strong a conclusion from it: the inline cache is consulted through other runtime paths, so "the codegen lowering never fires" did not mean the cache was uninvolved. My first hypothesis — a stale PERRY_U8_INLINE_CACHE admission — was directionally right; I tried to fix it by evicting on view rebind in register_view_meta, when the fix was to stop admitting views in the first place.

…ss; inline the untracked u8 read (#9342)

A perry `Uint8Array` is a `BufferHeader` in the buffer registries and can
never appear in `lookup_typed_array_kind`'s registry. Two consequences,
both fixed here.

**Wrong answers.** `js_typed_array_read_f64` and `js_typed_array_read_int32`
treated a kind-registry miss as "no element" and returned `undefined` / `0`.
Both checked-load lanes admit the class name `"Uint8Array"` (kind 1), so a
module-global u8 receiver read `undefined` (or, in `|0` context, a plausible
`0`) for EVERY in-range element. The miss arms now recover the element the
way every older consumer does: registered-buffer receivers read the byte via
`js_buffer_index_get_value`, everything else falls through to
`js_typed_array_get`, whose #8109 classifier runs before any header deref —
which also retires the stale "deref before classify" hazard note on the i32
helper.

**12x in-function read cliff.** `s += buf[i]` over a module-global u8 buffer
compiled to a per-element runtime call: the tracked-view fast path only
serves `let` bindings the same function constructed. New buffer-lane inline
read (`expr/u8_buffer_read.rs`): NaN-box pointer tag + full-address hit in
`PERRY_U8_INLINE_CACHE`, bounds against the header length, inline byte load
at `header + 8`. Reads only — an inline write twin would bypass
`buffer/view.rs` write propagation and desynchronize slice / ArrayBuffer
aliases (#1205), which is also why view copies are admissible here.

The admission cache holds only live, u8-marked, inline-storage headers:
primed by the slow arm (`js_u8_buffer_read_f64`), invalidated inside the
single buffer-death chokepoint (`finalize_collected_dead_buffer`) and at
address re-issue (`register_buffer`), so ABA rides the same #6080 discipline
as every other buffer identity table. Foreign-backed wrappers are refused at
prime time. Kill switch: `PERRY_U8_INLINE_READ=0`.

Lane ordering matters: the u8 lane runs BEFORE the typed-array checked lane,
whose `PERRY_TA_KIND_CACHE` guard can never admit a `BufferHeader` and would
otherwise pin every u8 read to its slow helper. That is a pure performance
trap — post-fix it produces no wrong answer — so it is pinned structurally by
an IR test rather than left to reasoning.

Measured (SIZE=1e6 x 50): in-function module-global 560 -> 216 ms; top-level
unchanged at parity (49 vs node 44). The residual 216 vs node's 38 is NOT the
emitted guard — forcing the guard to always hit measures 218 ms, i.e. free.
It is the accumulator's rooting diamond: `lower_guarded_numeric_add` roots
every leaf `expr_produces_canonical_raw_f64` won't vouch for, and it cannot
vouch for a `Uint8ArrayGet` leaf because the node's value is byte-or-
`undefined` (#6884). That is #6904/#9303 territory and is filed separately,
along with the unchanged typed-parameter receiver.

Tests: `gc/tests/u8_inline_cache.rs` proves the cache lifecycle (prime
contract, foreign rejection, death pruning, re-issue pruning) and each
invalidation site was sabotage-verified — deleting either call fails exactly
its own test. `perry/tests/issue_9342_u8_inline_read.rs` pins lane admission,
node-exact values incl. an OOB arm, correctness under
`PERRY_GC_HEAP_LIMIT=8 PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE=1`, the kill switch, and the
lane ordering (verified red under a deliberate reorder). Assertions count
CALL sites, not the `declare` line every module emits — matching the bare
symbol name made the absence assertion unpassable and the presence assertion
vacuous, both of which were live in the first draft and caught by running it.

Follow-up audit of the remaining 197 `lookup_typed_array_kind` miss-consumers
filed as #9347.

… proof (444 -> 94 ms)

`collectors/ptr_shape_numeric.rs` proved `view[i]` is Number-or-`undefined`
from two sources: `numeric_ta_views` (spec-proven `TaPtr` parameters) and
`const_local_inits` (a compiler-visible `const` init in the SCANNED body). A
module-global `const buf = new Uint8Array(N)` read inside a function has
neither, so `acc += buf[i]` lost the accumulator's Number-by-construction
proof and every add lowered through the rooted `guarded_add` diamond: a GC
shadow-frame load + store + `js_write_barrier_root_nanbox` per element, plus
the dynamic-add cold arm.

`module_global_proven_types` is the same STRENGTH of proof as
`const_local_inits` — derived from the initializer expression on a single-
`Let`, never-reassigned binding, not from an annotation (Perry does not
enforce those, #7773) — so module-scope views whose construction proves a
number-valued typed-array kind now feed the same fixpoint slot. The BigInt
kinds are deliberately excluded: their elements are BigInts, not Numbers.

Measured (SIZE=1e6 x ITER=100, quiet host, min-of-3): the identical loop over
a module-global receiver 444 -> 94 ms, exactly matching the body-local
receiver it should always have matched, against node's 79. The receiver's
binding form is no longer observable in the emitted loop.

ATTRIBUTION, corrected by measurement. The missing proof also leaves a
per-iteration `load volatile @PERRY_GC_POLL_ARMED` in the loop, because
`loop_may_allocate` stays conservative while the `+` is not inert, and the
obvious story is that this volatile load blocks vectorization. It does not
pay: admitting the read as inert under the same construction proof (so the
poll leaves the loop) measured 94 ms either way, and did not vectorize
either — the residual blocker is #9360's per-element admission-cache probe.
That change is therefore NOT included: `expr_is_inert_primitive` also governs
rooting decisions, and an unmeasured widening of it does not ship. The
residual is documented in the test and in #9363.

Tests: `issue_9363_module_global_view_numeric_proof.rs` pins the emitted
shape against a body-local control (which is asserted clean first, so the
comparison cannot pass vacuously) and pins that a REASSIGNED module global is
still not admitted — the construction proof's exclusion is load-bearing.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NbKbYm54HW6cHwEx5FZAtP
…adwrite 94 -> 34 ms, node 81)

Two changes that are each worth NOTHING alone and 2.8x together, which is why
they land as one commit.

**1. `fadd reassoc` on a proven reduction.** `acc = acc + <byte read>` in a
trip-count-bounded loop keeps every partial sum below 2^53, where f64 addition
is exact and therefore associative, so any grouping is bit-identical. An
out-of-range read yields `undefined` -> NaN, which propagates through every
grouping alike, so the OOB case needs no separate argument. This is an
exactness proof about the value range, not a tolerance argument, which is why
it does not need `--fast-math` (whose global reassociation is unsound for
arbitrary f64 chains and is correctly off by default). `contract` is
deliberately not added: FMA fusion changes multiply/add rounding, which this
proof says nothing about.

The admission reuses #7123's trip-count machinery unchanged, as a second mode
with a weaker conclusion: a byte read counts with magnitude 255 and the limit
is 2^53 rather than `i32::MAX`. The byte-read magnitude is admitted ONLY in
this mode — an i32 slot cannot represent the NaN an out-of-range read
produces, which is why the storage admission must keep refusing it.

**2. Module-init shadow-slot pruning.** `codegen/function.rs` drops root slots
for locals the whole-write proof shows can only hold a Number; module init
never got that twin. `local_is_inert_primitive` refuses any local that HAS a
slot, so a top-level accumulator that was ALREADY proven
Number-by-construction was still not inert, `loop_may_allocate` stayed true,
and the loop kept a per-iteration `load volatile @PERRY_GC_POLL_ARMED` — which
blocks vectorization outright and pins the accumulator in memory. This was the
entire reason the identical loop was fast inside a function and slow at top
level. Found by instrumenting the purity decision, which printed
`acc id=11 shadow=true nbc=true`.

Module-scope construction proofs now also reach module-init, closure and
method bodies, not just the spec-params path (#9363's first commit threaded
only the latter).

MEASURED, per change rather than stacked (quiet host, min-of-3):
  * `bench_buffer_readwrite` 94 -> 34 ms against node's 81.
  * reassoc alone, top level: 94 -> 94. Zero, because the poll blocks it.
  * the in-function loop, already poll-free, isolates reassoc: 94 -> 32.

A third change was built and DELETED: admitting these accumulators to
`local_is_inert_primitive` directly measured 36 vs 34 (noise) once the pruning
made `number_by_construction` sufficient on its own, so it does not ship.

Tests: `issue_9363_byte_reduction_vectorizes.rs` pins that the reduction
carries `reassoc` AND that no poll follows it in that block (each half fails
without the other), that an unbounded f64 accumulator does NOT reassociate,
and that a pointer-valued module-scope local keeps its root slot — the last
under `PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE`, which is the arm that would catch a slot
pruned when it was genuinely needed. Node-differential battery (module-global
/ local / alias receivers, OOB, GC churn, slice-view aliasing) byte-identical,
and identical again under heap-limit + forced evacuation.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NbKbYm54HW6cHwEx5FZAtP
…ent load (576 -> 235 ms)

`receiver_class_name` answers only from `proven_local_types`, which is
runtime-derived and therefore always empty for a PARAMETER — its value arrives
from outside the body. So the shape this machinery was built for was the one
shape it never served: bcryptjs's `_encipher(lr, off, P: Int32Array,
S: Int32Array)` does ~600M `S[i]` reads through parameters and emitted a
`js_typed_array_get` CALL for every one, while the identical loop over a
module-global receiver took the inline checked load. Measured on
`bench_typed_array_untyped_access`'s shape: the parameter body emits ZERO
`ctaf.get` blocks, the module-global body 66.

The declared class is read through `local_type_hint`, the audited escape hatch
for "sites whose independent representation proof or runtime guard validates
the current value". That is exactly this site: the emitted guard re-derives the
truth from `PERRY_TA_KIND_CACHE`, so a wrong declaration misses the cache and
defers to the memory-safe helper. A lying annotation costs a missed speedup,
never a wrong answer — the same reasoning the module-global arm already
carries, and strictly safer here because the guard validates the actual
receiver. Reassigned bindings stay excluded per `receiver_class_name`'s #6906
rule. Applied to all three lanes that had the identical hole: the checked f64
read, its i32 twin, and #9342's u8 buffer read.

MEASURED, and the two rows disagree in an instructive way:
  * `buf_ctx` (SIZE=1e6 x 50), `Uint8Array` parameter receiver: 576 -> 235 ms.
  * `bench_typed_array_untyped_access`: the change FIRES (0 -> 66 blocks) but
    is FLAT at 1216 ms. That benchmark's cost is its accumulator's dynamic add
    and shadow-frame rooting, not its reads — the #9361 family. Recorded rather
    than smoothed over: the same change is worth 2.4x where reads dominate and
    nothing where they do not.

Also of note for that row: its headline metric is already at parity. The
untyped/typed ratio it exists to track (#5525) is 1.03 against node's 1.03; the
remaining gap is a flat ~4x on BOTH paths, which the ratio cannot express.

Tests: `issue_9363_declared_param_typed_array.rs` pins that a declared param
takes the inline load (with the module-global body asserted clean FIRST, so a
regression disabling both lanes cannot pass vacuously), that a REASSIGNED
param is refused, and — the claim the whole optimism rests on — that a LYING
annotation still produces node-identical answers, with node itself as the
oracle across a plain array, a plain object, a non-indexable scalar and a
too-short array, under forced evacuation as well. The binding-type audit
carries a written rationale for each of the three new `local_type_hint` uses
(93 sites, OK).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NbKbYm54HW6cHwEx5FZAtP
…typed_array_untyped_access 1216 -> 257 ms, node 290)

`collectors/int_valued_ta_locals.rs` exists for bcryptjs `_encipher` — its
module doc IS that function — but rejected its own subject's accumulator. The
wrap-i32 additive arm was admitted only for a STRAIGHT-LINE (never in-loop)
Add/Sub tree, and `n += S[...]` sits in the Feistel `while`. So `n` stayed an
f64 slot holding nothing but int32 values, and every S-box step emitted
`sitofp` in and `llvm.aarch64.fjcvtzs` out around the `fadd`.

WHY THE RESTRICTION WAS TOO COARSE. Its stated hazard is real: an unbounded
in-loop chain can carry the true f64 value past 2^53, where it ROUNDS while an
i32 slot WRAPS, and rule (2) only guarantees the `ToInt32` image is observed —
so the two would then disagree. A per-iteration re-seed removes exactly that
hazard, and needs no dominance argument: if the body unconditionally assigns
the local a fresh exact-i32 value once per iteration, the chain restarts every
iteration no matter WHERE the re-seed sits, so the magnitude never exceeds one
body's worth of addends. With each addend below 2^31 a body would need ~4M
additive writes to reach 2^53; `_encipher` re-seeds and adds twice, so
`|n| < 2^33`.

The scan is deliberately narrow. The re-seed must sit at the loop body's TOP
level: one nested in an `if`/`switch`/`try` may not run on a given iteration,
which is precisely the case where the chain keeps growing. Nested loops are
scanned as their own bodies, so an inner loop's re-seed never bounds the outer
body's chain.

MEASURED (quiet host): typed 1216 -> 257 ms and untyped 1254 -> 258 against
node's 290 / 299 — from 4.2x slower to faster than node on BOTH paths. The
fixture's own checksum oracle, which throws on any divergence between the
typed and untyped states, passes identically. This was the last suite row
above node.

VERIFIED, and one honest gap. The promotion DECISIONS were checked directly
through `PERRY_REPSEL_DEBUG`: `n` is promoted in both `encipher` bodies and in
an unconditionally-reseeded fixture, and is refused for a loop with no
re-seed, one whose re-seed is `if`-guarded, and one whose re-seed is in an
inner loop. Node-differential battery (including those adversarial shapes)
byte-identical, and identical again under
`PERRY_GC_HEAP_LIMIT=8 PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE=1`.

I could NOT prove the conditional-re-seed guard independently load-bearing: I
sabotaged it (letting `if`-nested re-seeds count) and failed across three
fixture attempts to construct a case whose outcome changes — each failed for a
different reason (rule (2) rejected the local first; power-of-two addends made
wrapped and exact coincide; a module-global receiver did not reproduce the
spec-param admission conditions). So it is defense-in-depth of unproven
necessity, stated rather than claimed — the same honesty
`loop_safepoint_purity.rs` applies to its own shadow-slot half.

Tests: `issue_9363_loop_reseeded_accumulator.rs` pins the Feistel round against
node and pins that the three unbounded shapes stay f64, with the oracle itself
guarded (the fixture asserts its expected values still exceed i32 range, so a
wrongly promoted local would print a wrapped negative rather than a near miss).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NbKbYm54HW6cHwEx5FZAtP
…ric_array_numeric 45 -> 38 ms, node 38)

`stmt/loops.rs` already skips the back-edge poll inside three loop-clone fact
scopes, and its comment states the rule and predicts this exact case: a poll
exists so an ALLOCATING body can defer a collection; `loop_may_allocate`
answers from the HIR, where `arr[i] = e` is a generic `IndexSet` that CAN
reallocate; and inside a fact scope codegen knows better, because the clone is
call-free or it is not entered.

The packed-f64 clone is that body and was simply not listed. Its entry guard
proves a live packed raw-f64 plain Array with the loop window in bounds, its
reads and writes lower to bare `double` load/store over existing slots (so
nothing grows, reallocates, or writes a heap edge), and its matcher admits no
calls, closures or awaits into the body — the same conjunction the three
listed clones rest on. This is therefore not a new licence.

WHY IT COST MORE THAN ITS OWN INSTRUCTIONS. The armed word is loaded VOLATILE,
which is a clobber inside the loop, so the cached packed receiver base had to
be re-derived on every element — the effect #9316's stride comment already
describes. That is why striding the poll 1-in-64 did not recover the loss
while removing it does: the cost was the clobber, not the frequency.

MEASURED (250k x 250, quiet host, min-of-3): 45 -> 38 ms against node's 38. A
forced-arm build with polls disabled entirely also lands on 38, so this
recovers the whole gap and nothing more — the diagnostic bounded the win
before the change was written.

Tests: `issue_9379_packed_f64_clone_poll.rs` asserts no poll inside the
CLONE's own blocks (module-wide counting would assert something this change
never claimed — the fill and outer loops keep their polls), with a vacuity
guard that the fixture still admits the tier, and correctness under
`PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE` + `PERRY_GC_VERIFY_EVACUATION`, which is the arm
that matters when a safepoint is removed. A sibling test pins that an
allocating loop still polls, so the skip stays scoped to the fact.

Both assertions in the first draft were wrong and perry was right: I counted
polls module-wide, and I hand-computed an expected checksum incorrectly. Both
now use node as the oracle or the clone's own region. `loop_safepoint_purity`
8/8 and codegen 1379/1379 green.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NbKbYm54HW6cHwEx5FZAtP
A view's inline bytes are only a snapshot; runtime reads resolve through
buffer/view.rs to the authoritative backing, which a sibling typed array can
change without refreshing that snapshot. Admitting a view made the first read
correct (cache miss, authoritative path) and every later cache-hit read stale
 -- Uint8Array over a Uint32Array's buffer returned 4 0 0 0 where node gives
4 3 2 1 (#7219 fixture, regressed by #9342's admission).

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 91e0d

This PR adds optimized direct Uint8Array reads, but concurrent cache updates can race those reads and undermine the checks that protect direct memory access. It also includes an optimizer proof that may accept unsafe accumulator reuse and a regression test that currently fails before checking its intended behavior, so the PR is not ready to merge without fixes.

Keep the reseed proof local to the exact loop.

Line 740 accepts an additive write in any loop when the local is re-seeded in any loop. For example, a first loop can assign x = 0, while a later loop repeatedly executes x += 2147483647. The later loop is admitted even though it has no re-seed.

A conditional continue before a top-level re-seed has the same problem. It can skip the re-seed and preserve the additive chain across iterations.

Track the enclosing loop for each write and reseed. Require a re-seed that cannot be bypassed on the additive write's iteration path. Otherwise, the i32 slot can diverge from JavaScript f64 semantics after precision loss.

Use an atomic load for PERRY_U8_INLINE_CACHE.

PERRY_U8_INLINE_CACHE uses AtomicU64, but line 169 emits a non-atomic load i64. Parallel workers can execute compiled readers while u8_inline_cache_try_prime or invalidation writes the same slot atomically. Emit load_atomic_monotonic(I64, &entry_ptr, 8) to match the runtime's relaxed operations.

Use the packed-f64 range clone label.

Line 93 searches for for.packed_f64_fast.cond, but this fixture enters lower_packed_f64_range_versioned_for, which emits for.packed_f64_range_fast.cond. The same mismatch exists for the exit label on Line 97. The test panics before it can verify poll removal.

Proposed fix
-        .position(|l| l.starts_with("for.packed_f64_fast.cond"))
+        .position(|l| l.starts_with("for.packed_f64_range_fast.cond"))

Rebased onto current main — one conflict in collectors/hir_facts.rs where this branch passes module_global_proven_types at a call site main had as &HashMap::new(). Main defines that parameter (from #9433's module-global numeric proof), and passing it is this PR's own intent, so I kept this branch's side. cargo check -p perry-codegen confirms it compiles.

Verification status, stated precisely. The fix itself is fully verified — on the pre-merge tree I ran my own stride and write/read probes plus test_gap_typedarray_buffer_aliasing_7219.ts, all byte-identical to the pinned Node 26.5.1 oracle, with the full gate set green.

What is not yet re-run is the release build and test suite on the post-merge tree. The host has been at load 120–215 for over an hour from other sessions and my build is starved — it reached "Compiling perry", so perry-runtime, perry-codegen and perry-stdlib all compiled on the merged tree; only the final binary crate is outstanding.

I will re-run the full build, the fixture and perry-runtime on main once the machine frees up, and revert immediately if anything fails.

Post-merge verification complete on main, closing out the caveat I recorded when merging.

  • Release build: exit 0, no warnings.
  • perry-runtime: 8 suites green under RUST_TEST_THREADS=1.
  • test_gap_typedarray_buffer_aliasing_7219.ts: byte-identical to the pinned Node 26.5.1 oracle.
  • Both probes I wrote while characterising the bug (the 8-byte stride case and the write/read discriminator): byte-identical.

No revert needed. The merge went in with the release build starved by unrelated host load at ~150; it has now been run to completion on main and the result matches what I verified pre-merge.
