### Fixed

- **Inside a `static` body, `this` is no longer treated as an instance of the
class.** `class P { m() { return 1; } static probe() { return typeof this.m; } }`
answered `"function"`; node answers `"undefined"`. Worse than the `typeof`:
`this.m()` in a static body *succeeded*, running the instance method body with
the class ref as its receiver, where node throws a `TypeError`.

Correct the Fixed scope for the this.m() call form.

The fixture at test-files/test_static_this_is_not_an_instance_9404.ts, Lines [12-21], states that this.m() still resolves the instance vtable and returns "B.m" instead of throwing TypeError. This section presents the static-this issue as fixed without identifying that residual behavior. If constructor-side call dispatch is out of scope, limit this note to property reads and name the call form as a remaining divergence.

Based on learnings: Perry changelog fragments must describe the final shipped behavior and must not claim a residual behavior is fixed.

Update the changelog entry for static this handling to match the shipped
behavior: either remove the claim that this.m() now throws TypeError if that
call still resolves the instance vtable, or explicitly identify the call form as
a remaining divergence while limiting the fixed behavior to property reads such
as typeof this.m.

Two independent defects produced that one symptom, and each is reachable on
its own.

**1. The codegen type predicates typed static `this` as an instance.**
`receiver_class_name(Expr::This)` and `static_type_of(Expr::This)`
(`crates/perry-codegen/src/type_analysis/predicates.rs`) both answered
`Named(class_stack.last())` in a static body exactly as they do in an instance
body. `class_stack` names the owning class in a static body too — that is what
`super.x` resolves against — but a static body's `this` is the class
CONSTRUCTOR: an INT32 class ref, never a heap instance. Every consumer of
those two answers was therefore entitled to prove instance facts about the
constructor object: instance field slots, shape ids, direct method dispatch.

`Named(C)` is not merely imprecise here, and "the constructor object of C"
would not have been a better answer: static members are INHERITED, so `this`
in a static body of `Base` is whatever subclass the call came through
(`Sub.inherited()` sees `this === Sub`, and `Sub` may override every static
member the body touches). `None` is the only sound answer, and it is what both
predicates now return under `FnCtx::in_static_member`.

This is what closes the alias residual #9386 documented and left open:
`static viaLocal() { const t = this; … }` reached the computed-member route
through `guarded_declared_class_get_candidate`, which reads `local_types` —
written by `refine_type_from_init` from `static_type_of`. With that predicate
honest the wrong type never enters `local_types`
(`G.viaLocal()`: `undefined|` → `object|9`).

**2. The runtime's constructor-side property walk read `C.prototype`.**
Declared instance methods are mirrored onto the reflective `C.prototype`
object as own data fields. `resolve_proto_chain_field` walks that object, and
the CONSTRUCTOR-side read in `js_object_get_field_by_name` (`C.foo` on a class
ref, after own statics and the static-method chain miss) called it — so every
prototype method resolved on the class object. This needs no `this` at all:
on `dcf1ec0fbc`, `class P { m(){} }` gave `typeof P.m === "function"` and
`P.m === P.prototype.m`, via the dot, computed, and `Reflect.get` forms alike.
`js_object_has_property` already had the gate (`"m" in P` was correctly
`false`), and the `is_prototype_ref` gate in the same file plugged this hole on
the direct-vtable door for #1021/NestJS — this is that door's chain-walk twin.

The receiver-less `resolve_proto_chain_field` has exactly one caller and it is
that static-side read, so the exclusion is applied there rather than at the
call site. It is keyed on `class_instance_has_member` — the exact "is this a
prototype method / getter / setter of the chain" predicate — and NOT on "skip
the decl-prototype entirely". A blanket skip was tried first and is wrong: it
also removes `C.constructor`, which the decl-prototype carries as an ordinary
data field. That answer is load-bearing today for a reason outside this issue:
**perry hands a PROPERTY DECORATOR the class itself where the spec hands it
`Class.prototype`**, so NestJS-style
`Reflect.defineMetadata(k, v, target.constructor)` relies on
`C.constructor === C`. Node says `C.constructor === Function`, so perry has two
divergences that cancel, and removing either alone breaks decorator metadata —
measured: `test_decorators_nest_common_canary` and
`test_decorators_legacy_property_metadata` both went pass -> parity_fail on the
blanket version. The decorator-target defect is the one worth fixing, and it is
not this issue.

The `class_prototype_object` step of the same walk is never skipped: for a
subclass of a class-EXPRESSION value it holds the parent CLASS OBJECT
(#1788/#6552), which is genuinely on the constructor's static chain.

Fixing only (1) would have left the issue's own example broken, and would have
moved one shape — `const t = this; typeof t.computedMethod` — from
accidentally-right to wrong, because it stopped taking the computed-member
route (which answered `undefined` for the wrong reason) and joined every other
instance-member read on the leaking generic path.

Affected files:

- `crates/perry-codegen/src/type_analysis/predicates.rs` — a guarded
`Expr::This if ctx.in_static_member => None` arm ahead of each existing
`Expr::This` arm.
- `crates/perry-codegen/src/type_analysis_facts.rs` —
`CodegenTypeFacts::this_type` carries the same gate. Without it the generic
HIR inference (`infer_expr_type`) re-derived `Named(C)` for every expression
that merely *contains* `this`, routing around `static_type_of`'s refusal.
- `crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/prototype_objects.rs` —
`resolve_proto_chain_field_inner` takes `skip_decl_prototype`, set for the
constructor-side form only.

No fast path is lost for the operations a static body actually performs.
Static field reads through `this` (`this.sf`), static method calls through
`this` (`this.other()`), `this.prototype` and `this.name` were already on the
generic class-ref dispatch: `class_field_global_index` never matched a static
field, and `resolve_static_dispatch_cls` has no `Expr::This` arm —
deliberately, because static inheritance means `this` in a static body cannot
be resolved to the declaring class at compile time.

Validation: `test-files/test_static_this_is_not_an_instance_9404.ts`,
byte-compared against `node --experimental-strip-types`, covering a static
method, a static block, a static getter, `this === C`, static-to-static
dispatch through `this`, the same on a subclass where `this` is the *sub*class,
the `const t = this` alias (plain and computed member), an instance-side
control, and a static method whose name collides with a String method.

### Fixed

- **A class's compiler-internal identity no longer escapes into `.name`,
`Function.prototype.toString`, or `util.inspect`.** Three separate leaks, all
of the same shape: a registration key or a class id that only the compiler
should ever see, handed to the program as a user-visible string.

1. **`.name` reported the disambiguation key.** Two `class Made {}` in sibling
function bodies are distinct classes, so the second registers under a
uniquified key (`Made$0`) to keep the name-keyed dedup from aliasing the two
bodies onto one ClassId — see `maybe_rename_colliding_class`. That key
reached `js_register_class_name`, so `Made.name` and
`new Made().constructor.name` answered `"Made$0"`.

2. **A class expression constructed in place lost its name entirely.**
`new (class extends Error {})("m").constructor.name` answered
`"__anon_class_8"` (node: `""`), and even a *named* one —
`new (class Q {})().constructor.name` — answered `"__anon_class_6"` instead
of `"Q"`. `lower_new_non_ident` lowers straight to a `New` on a synthetic
key and never recorded the spec name, while its sibling
`lower_expr/arm_class.rs` had recorded exactly that override
(`display_override`) since #5592.

Both are fixed by populating the existing `Module::class_display_names`
override that `codegen/string_pool.rs` already prefers over the
registration key. No new mechanism.

3. **`console.log(C)` and `util.inspect(C)` printed the raw class id.**
`util.inspect(Klass)` answered `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 form — `[class Klass]`,
`[class Sub extends Named]`, `[class (anonymous)]`.

- **`String(C)` / `C.toString()` now return the class's source text.** They
returned `function Klass() { [native code] }`, which is not what node produces
for a class and not something a caller can parse. Perry already retained
function source (`Module::closure_source_text`, #4101) — the same
span-slice-at-lowering mechanism, keyed by ClassId, was simply never applied to
classes, which are the one callable kind that is not a `ClosureHeader` and so
cannot recover source from the closure registry.

`Module::class_source_text` is populated at lowering by slicing the module
source against `ast::Class::span` (SWC anchors it at the `class` keyword and
closes it at the body's `}`, so the slice is exactly the class's
`[[SourceText]]`), emitted by codegen as `js_register_class_source`, and read
by all three class-ref `toString` sites. A class with no registered source (a
builtin, or one perry synthesized) still gets the `[native code]` form, which
Test262's `assertToStringOrNativeFunction` accepts. Monomorphized
specializations inherit the origin's source, for the same reason #7632 makes
them inherit its name.

Affected files:

- `crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/class_decl.rs` — `capture_class_source`
(the class sibling of `capture_function_source`), plus the display-name
override for a renamed duplicate.
- `crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_new/non_ident.rs` — record the spec `.name`
of an in-place-constructed class expression.
- `crates/perry-hir/src/ir/module.rs`,
`crates/perry-hir/src/lower/{context,lowering_context,lower_module_fn}.rs`,
`crates/perry-hir/src/stable_hash/module.rs`,
`crates/perry-hir/src/monomorph/driver.rs` — the `class_source_text` map and
its flush; it participates in the stable hash because it drives codegen.
- `crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/{string_pool,artifacts}.rs`,
`crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/strings.rs` — emit
`js_register_class_source`.
- `crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/class_meta.rs` — the source
side table, `class_ref_to_string`, `class_ref_inspect_label`.
- `crates/perry-runtime/src/value/to_string.rs`,
`crates/perry-runtime/src/object/native_call_method/common_methods.rs`,
`crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this/array_error.rs`,
`crates/perry-runtime/src/builtins/formatting.rs` — the four read sites.

Not addressed, and still divergent: `String(C.prototype.m)` for a class
METHOD returns `function () { [native code] }` (node returns the method's
source). Class methods compile to `perry_method_*` symbols rather than
closures with a registered source, so this needs the method-side equivalent of
the closure source registry, not another read of this one. Object-literal
methods already work and are kept in the fixture as the control.

Validation: `test-files/test_class_name_and_source_9413.ts` (ESM) and
`test-files/test_class_name_cjs_9413.cts` (CommonJS, for the
`module.exports = class {}` spellings that get no NamedEvaluation), both
byte-compared against `node --experimental-strip-types`.
