Closes #9707.

What

Module init recorded what it knows about each closure body — rest arity + kind, declared ABI arity, ECMAScript .length, the arrow / strict / async / generator / async-generator flags, and an eligible arrow's two compiler-private direct-call bodies — into ten thread-local PtrHashMaps, every one keyed by the same func_ptr, plus an eleventh map memoizing the dispatch strategy those answers imply.

This replaces them with one table:

  • CLOSURE_BODY_REGISTRY: func_ptr → ClosureBodyRecord — a 16-byte record: .length (u32), declared arity (u16), rest arity (u16), a flags word (presence bits, the five boolean attributes, the 2-bit rest kind), and a 1-based index into the side array below. (usize, ClosureBodyRecord) is a 24-byte hashbrown bucket, pinned by a size test.
  • TRUSTED_TARGETS: Vec<TrustedTargets> — dense, append-only; only arrows that actually have a trusted direct-call / versioned-loop body occupy a slot, so every other body pays 4 bytes for the index instead of two Option<TrustedDirectTarget> maps.
  • The dispatch-strategy cache (DISPATCH_CACHE) is deleted: a miss now does one probe of the record and derives rest/arity/arrow-ness from its bits, which is cheaper than the second hash probe the cache cost, and it cannot go stale — the methods inherited via Object.setPrototypeOf(obj, proto) run with this=undefined — effect Pipeable/Tag statics return the wrong pipe stage (blocks web.ts, 'Not a valid effect: undefined') #6475 late-registration hazard shrinks to evicting the four-entry DISPATCH_RECENT.

Every js_register_closure_* entry point and every lookup_* / is_registered_* / closure_arity / closure_length reader keeps its signature and precedence (rest wins over arity for dispatch; length prefers explicit, then rest, then arity).

Measured

PERRY_GC_CENSUS on a generated 20k-function fixture (5k each of default-param arrows, rest functions, async functions, generators; 35,051 registered bodies including the runtime's own), same source compiled by both toolchains, byte-identical program output:

before after
closure registry rows 7 maps, 2,916,564 B 1 map, 1,638,416 B
per registered body 83 B 47 B

Projected onto cc's recorded census (/root/claude-census-results/out_final/census.jsonl on the dev box: 59,384 distinct bodies, 58.5k strict, 27k arrows, 6.8k dispatch-cache entries) with the census's own hash_table_bytes estimator: 7.24 MB → 3.28 MB (−55 %). The remaining floor is hashbrown's power-of-two bucket count at that size (59k × 8/7 rounds up to 131,072 buckets). The 11.8 MB the issue quotes was the earlier estimator that double-counted exactly-sized tables; the ratio is the same.

Not in this PR: fn.name_registry / fn.source_registry (5.4 MB on the same census) keep their own keying — folding them in wants the dense function-id scheme the issue mentions, which this does not introduce.

Validation (perrymaster, Linux, perry-dev profile, Node 26.5.1 oracle)

  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib: 3090 passed, 0 failed. Five new tests in closure::registry::body_record_tests pin the record size, attribute coexistence, refusal of trusted targets on non-arrows, and the census row.
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh script tier: all 62 gates pass (incl. gc_runtime_root_holders.py, whose inventory now carries not_a_gc_pointer verdicts for the two new statics and drops the eight stale ones).
  • RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings -A clashing-extern-declarations" cargo check --workspace --all-targets over CI's host-compatible scope: clean (the allowed lint is the pre-existing Linux-only pthread redeclaration that CI's macOS warnings job never compiles). cargo clippy over the same scope: exit 0; the three hits in registry.rs are pre-existing missing_safety_doc on untouched functions.
  • Gap/parity A/B, base origin/main vs this branch, filters function tostring inspect closure stack _name fn_ arity rest_ length arrow strict generator async_gen util_types bind (the arity filter also sweeps every test_parity_*): 278 tests per arm, 0 verdict differences (259 PASS / 15 PARITY_FAIL / 3 COMPILE_FAIL / 1 CRASH on both arms — the non-PASS set is the same 19 tests on clean origin/main, npm-package parity cases and the perry-ui Linux compile failure).

…erryTS#9707)

Module init recorded each closure body's rest/arity/length/arrow/strict/
async/generator/async-generator attributes and the trusted direct-call
bodies into ten thread-local PtrHashMaps keyed by the same func_ptr, plus a
dispatch-strategy memo map. Replace them with one `CLOSURE_BODY_REGISTRY`
of 16-byte `ClosureBodyRecord`s (24-byte bucket, size-pinned), a dense
`TRUSTED_TARGETS` side array indexed only by eligible arrows, and derive
the dispatch strategy from the record on a miss instead of caching it.

Census on a 20k-function fixture: 2,916,564 -> 1,638,416 bytes (-44 %) for
35,051 bodies, identical output. Projected on cc's recorded census counts:
7.24 MB -> 3.28 MB. Public registration/lookup signatures are unchanged.

Closure registry consolidation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Packed body records and dispatch
crates/perry-runtime/src/closure/registry.rs
Closure metadata is stored in one packed ClosureBodyRecord. Dispatch derives its strategy from the record and retains DISPATCH_RECENT for invalidation.
Registration and closure metadata access
crates/perry-runtime/src/closure/registry.rs
Registration and lookup functions use the unified record. Trusted direct targets use a dense side array. Arity and length precedence remains unchanged.
Census, validation, and supporting updates
crates/perry-runtime/src/closure/registry.rs, changelog.d/9722-closure-body-registry-record.md, TYPE_LOWERING.md, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/string_pool.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/async_hooks.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/native_module/callable_exports.rs, scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json
Census output, tests, documentation, comments, changelog text, and GC root metadata describe the consolidated registries.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f7257

Closures with more than 65,535 parameters now report incorrect arity and rest metadata, which can alter function behavior. Preserve the full range or reject unsupported values before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the full u32 arity or reject values above u16::MAX at registration. The exported js_register_closure_arity and js_register_closure_rest entrypoints accept u32, and code generation derives arity from params.len() as u32. Values above u16::MAX are stored as u16::MAX, so lookup_closure_arity and lookup_closure_rest_full return incorrect metadata. The previous registries preserved the full u32 value.
