Summary

  • clear the live lint/release blockers in warning-free Rust builds, GC store/class-ID/raw-handle/file-size audits, and global-sink classification
  • root raw GC pointers across allocation windows and align the unwind context declarations across runtime walkers
  • execute the Windows ARM64 smoke artifact correctly from PowerShell
  • make release-sweep tier 1 mirror CI by testing perry-runtime separately with RUST_TEST_THREADS=1
  • bump the workspace release metadata to 0.5.1511 and add detailed release notes

Validation

  • RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo check -p perry-runtime --all-targets
  • warning-free host-compatible workspace and product checks
  • both CI clippy scopes
  • ./scripts/pre-tag-check.sh --quick
  • targeted timer, class metadata, raw-handle, JSON/GC, unwind, compile-cache, and publish-config tests
  • global_sink_isolation.py 20-case self-test and real-tree audit
  • RustSec audit with the workflow acknowledgements
  • security soak/tool-pin checks and their unit tests
  • actionlint across all workflows (existing shellcheck advisories only)
  • current-main stack-map suite (38 tests)
  • release-sweep tier 0: PASS (full macOS release workspace build; perry 0.5.1511)
  • release-sweep tier 1 was stopped before a result when concurrent worktrees reduced local disk below the safety threshold; the same split workspace/runtime tests are covered by the PR cargo-test gate

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Windows ARM64 application smoke-test reliability.
    • Improved memory safety during allocation and garbage collection.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates release metadata and Windows ARM64 CI execution. It aligns unwind FFI declarations, preserves GC pointers across allocation, expands timer tests, limits test-only code, removes internal APIs, and updates static-audit baselines.

Changes

Release readiness and runtime hygiene

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release metadata and CI gates
.github/workflows/test.yml, Cargo.toml, CLAUDE.md, changelog.d/*
The workspace and documented versions change to 0.5.1511. The Windows ARM64 job initializes the MSVC environment and invokes the resolved executable through PowerShell. The changelog records the release-readiness gates and validation.
Unwind FFI contract alignment
crates/perry-runtime/src/eh.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/eh_walker.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/roots/stack_maps*.rs
Unwind callbacks use unsafe C-ABI function pointers. Shared UnwindContext types replace local opaque declarations. Instruction-pointer and Apple pthread bindings use updated types.
GC pointer stability and test-only surfaces
crates/perry-runtime/src/json_tape.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/spill.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/{oldgen.rs,roots.rs,roots/stack_maps_verify.rs,trace.rs}
Allocation paths reacquire rooted pointers after possible collection. Several helpers now compile only for tests or applicable targets.
Timer test extraction and coverage
crates/perry-runtime/src/timer.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/timer/drain_expired_tests.rs
The timer tests move to an external module. Tests cover stable ordering, empty queues, and fully expired queues.
Compiler and API cleanup
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/property_set.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/{build_cache.rs,shared_tokio.rs}, crates/perry/src/commands/publish/mod.rs, crates/perry/src/update_checker.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/tests.rs
The changes reorder a GC audit comment, limit test-only data, simplify archive-name parsing, remove configuration and update-check APIs, and rename a test constant.
Static audit classification and baselines
scripts/global_sink_isolation.py, scripts/addr_class_ratchet_baseline.txt, scripts/raw_handle_debt_{baseline.txt,files.txt}, scripts/gc_root_dominance_corpus.sh
RealmAtomic wrappers classify as thread-local. Self-tests cover direct, qualified, and shadowed declarations. Address, raw-handle, and GC root-dominance checks are updated.
Release test execution
scripts/release_sweep_tiers/tier01_cargo_workspace.sh
The release sweep runs workspace and perry-runtime tests separately, uses RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 for runtime tests, and reports both exit codes.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 329ad

The release readiness checks can incorrectly appear successful when the ARM64 smoke process fails or can report an incomplete failure summary when workspace tests exit early, creating a bounded risk of shipping with inaccurate gate results; merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

The maintainer bumps the version at merge time, and there is a standing
"no version bump for now" instruction on this branch's review. Reverts
`[workspace.package] version` and the CLAUDE.md `Current Version:` line
to 0.5.1510 and regenerates Cargo.lock.

The lock's only remaining diff against main is the functional one this
PR actually needs: `rand_core 0.6.4` under perry-ext-argon2.

Pushed 355cdd53f removing the version bump, per the standing "no version bump for now" instruction — the maintainer bumps at merge time (CLAUDE.md's external-contributor rule says the same).

Reverted [workspace.package] version and the CLAUDE.md Current Version: line to 0.5.1510 and regenerated Cargo.lock with cargo metadata rather than hand-editing it. The lock's only remaining diff against main is the functional one this PR needs:

  [[package]] name = "perry-ext-argon2"
 dependencies = [
   "argon2",
   "perry-ffi",
+  "rand_core 0.6.4",
 ]

Cargo.toml and CLAUDE.md now have no diff against main at all, and no 0.5.1511 string survives anywhere in the tree.

Auditing the new head next.

A compile or link error exits nonzero without ever printing a
`test result` line, so `total_failed` stays 0 and the tier reported
"0 crate-suites failed of N" on a run that did fail. The exit codes were
already in the message, but the count read as "nothing failed".

Report that shape explicitly instead when no suite recorded a failure.

Audited at exact head e7bf9719f17f6317d4c3c0b90d2763c3393dd2fb, against the merge base 3f468adea (this branch predates #8078 and #8089; git diff main HEAD shows those as deletions, which is a diff artifact, not a revert). Real change: 36 files, +473/−228.

The version bump is gone

Pushed 355cdd53f reverting [workspace.package] version and the CLAUDE.md line to 0.5.1510 and regenerating Cargo.lock with cargo metadata. Cargo.toml and CLAUDE.md now have no diff against main, no 0.5.1511 string survives anywhere, and the lock's only remaining diff is the functional rand_core 0.6.4 under perry-ext-argon2.

The GC rooting fix is real and correctly gated

js_headers_new produced the only reference to a new handle, then lower_expr and js_jsvalue_to_string — either of which can allocate, and the latter can run user toString() — ran before js_headers_set consumed it. Classic root-store-dominance window. The fix adopts the handle into a rooted group and re-reads at every use.

I checked the one subtlety: adopt_emitted(..., protect) is gated on !args.is_empty() while reread_emitted is called unconditionally. That is sound — protect: false stores EmittedRoot::Reused(value) and reread_emitted hands the original register back and emits nothing.

Every gate change strengthens

change effect
addr_class_ratchet_baseline.txt two counts lowered (array/header.rs 6→3, value/dyn_index.rs 2→1)
ci_e2e_scope.py adds spec_abi_typed_array_local_length to the scoped suites
gc_root_dominance_corpus.sh replaces a one-line sed with a multiline read, so rustfmt wrapping the string cannot disconnect the corpus from production's pass pipeline
test.yml ARM64 $output = target/windows-arm64-smoke.exe was treated as a command name in PowerShell expression position, so the gate failed in shell dispatch instead of testing its artifact; now Resolve-Path + & $smoke, plus the MSVC ARM64 env the SDK link needs
ext-link.yml per-package cargo check to catch undeclared feature deps (exactly the argon2/rand_core bug this PR also fixes), and a three-group release link so external-fetch-symbols and the WS provider mode cannot leak into unrelated test binaries through cargo feature unification
tier01_cargo_workspace.sh splits perry-runtime into its own RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 run, matching CI, with correct exit-code aggregation so either arm failing marks the tier FAIL
global_sink_isolation.py teaches the classifier about RealmAtomicI64/U64, resolving the Rust module path rather than matching the bare identifier so a same-named local alias cannot claim the exemption — and fails closed when it cannot prove the path

Dead-code removals verified genuinely dead

should_skip_check (only surviving reference is a comment in main.rs saying it was superseded), parent_dense_clear (0 references), load_config_checked (only the re-export dropped; the function is still defined and used inside saved_config.rs), BUILD_CACHE_ENV_EXCLUSIONS (referenced only from the #[cfg(test)] module, so the gating is right).

The unwind work unifies three separate opaque UnwindContext declarations onto crate::eh::UnwindContext and corrects pthread_self/pthread_get_stackaddr_np to *mut c_void. Those were producing real redeclaration warnings — I saw them in my own builds of main before reading this PR.

Validation I ran myself

On a landing-equivalent merge with current main (clean, no conflicts):

check_file_size.sh                          OK
gc_store_site_inventory.py                  passed
raw_handle_debt.py                          992 (baseline 992), 110 modules within ceilings
raw_handle_debt.py --no-raise-vs <base>     none raised
global_sink_isolation.py --self-test        20 checks, 0 failures
addr_class_inventory.py                     OK
cargo check --tests -p perry-runtime -p perry-codegen -p perry    exit 0
RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib             2331 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored

The --tests check is sabotage-verified. The timer.rs change is entirely #[cfg(test)], so a plain cargo check compiles none of it and a green run would prove nothing. Planting a type error in timer/drain_expired_tests.rs gives exit 101 with the error attributed to that file; restored and re-verified with a real recompile rather than a bare git checkout.

On the lint overlap

I independently hit the same three lint failures on pristine main and wrote #8093 before noticing this PR already fixed them — my mistake for not checking sibling PRs first. #8093 is closed. Worth recording that the two arrived at a byte-identical property_set.rs marker relocation, and that this PR's raw-handle work is a strict superset of mine (baseline 992 vs 993, one more object/spill.rs conversion). That convergence is decent evidence both are right.

CI

Will stay red for the twelve tree-wide contexts catalogued in #8092 — they fail identically on unrelated PRs. Merging on independent local evidence, not on a green board.

Codegen integration suites: identical to main, test-for-test

These do not run per-PR (CLAUDE.md #5960), and the GC rooting fix is in codegen lowering, so I ran them on both trees:

suites passed failed
origin/main @ 506f4ab11 27 1434 11
landing merge of this PR 27 1434 11

Same eleven test names on both sides. This PR introduces no codegen regression.

Worth flagging for anyone repeating this: without --no-fail-fast, cargo test -p perry-codegen aborts at the first failing target — it stops inside loop_safepoint_purity after 10 of 27 suites and reports 1021 passed; 2 failed, which understates main's real state by nine tests. The eleven pre-existing failures are now recorded in #8092; seven of them cluster on buffer/typed-array numeric-read proofs and look like one regression rather than seven.

Verdict

Merging on this evidence. Version bump removed, gates strengthened, GC fix sound, runtime suite green, codegen identical to main, landing merge clean. CI stays red for the twelve tree-wide contexts in #8092, which fail the same way on unrelated PRs.

`cargo fmt --all -- --check` is red on main at 0d7fe21, in exactly the
two files that commit touched: the `array::header` re-export list in
`array/mod.rs` and the import block in `typed_array_receiver_tests.rs`.

`lint` is a required context and #8087 had just restored it, so this put
it straight back to red for every open PR. Formatting only -- no code,
no re-export set change, `cargo fmt --all -- --check` clean afterwards.

My fault at merge time: I ran the four static gates (file size, GC
store-site inventory, raw-handle ratchet, addr-class inventory) on the
landing tree and did not run `cargo fmt --check`, which is the one gate
that catches this.
