📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change centralizes ChangesNullish coalescing and GC rooting
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR prevents heap values from losing their GC roots across moving collections, but a generic-call specialization path can still derive a narrower type for nullable coalescing expressions than the runtime value may require. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to align that specialization behavior. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Handle nullable-union operands in monomorph inference.
When infer_expr_type resolves a call as Type::Union([Type::Number, Type::Null]), this branch returns that union for call() ?? "x" and skips the right operand. A generic call using this expression can therefore be specialized without Type::String. Apply analysis::coalesce_type here and preserve None when required inference is unavailable.

…e local its GC root `const masks = opts?.masks ?? null` in a Three.js world builder read from-space on the first copying minor: SIGBUS under PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1, silent garbage otherwise. Two defects, one rule. 1. Both copies of the `??` type rule — `analysis/value_types.rs` (`infer_logical_type`) and `lower_types.rs` (`infer_type_from_expr`) — answered the RIGHT operand's type whenever the left was unknown. Optional chaining lowers its left to an `Any`-typed conditional, so the binding was declared `Null`. `unknown ?? null` is unknown, not `null`. 2. `collectors/pointer_locals.rs` distrusts declared types (#7846) and proves pointer-ness from the initializer, but `expr_value_type` had no `Logical` arm, so the `??` fell to the generic `infer_expr_type` fallback, got `Null`, and the local lost its shadow slot: a plain `alloca double` across the loop poll, never retyped to `ptr addrspace(1)`, nothing for `root_reload` to reload. An explicit `number[] | null` annotation changed nothing; a plain ternary was rooted, because the `Conditional` arm fails closed. Fix both halves: a shared `coalesce_type` (unknown left stays unknown, nullish left takes the right, a nullable union gains the right's members), the same rule in `monomorph/infer.rs`, and an explicit `Logical` arm in the collector that requires both operands to classify. Pinned by unit tests on the exact HIR the trace printed, a lowering test, and a registered `test_gap_gc_*` witness (`?? null` over an array and over a closure, live across loop polls).

Symptom
A Three.js world builder (
Accum.add) compiled with Perry read from-space on its first copying minor: SIGBUS underPERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1, wrong vertex colours / an aborted weapon build otherwise. The quarantine named a 40-byte array retired by minor #0, holder outside the arena — a stack slot. Disassembly put the stale use onmasks[0]inRoot cause — two defects, one rule
1. The
??type rule answered the RIGHT operand for an unknown left. Both copies —crates/perry-hir/src/analysis/value_types.rs(infer_logical_type) and its AST twin incrates/perry-hir/src/lower_types.rs(infer_type_from_expr,NullishCoalescing) — didif left is Any { infer(right) }. Optional chaining lowersopts?.masksto anAny-typed conditional, soopts?.masks ?? nullwas declaredNull(--trace hir:Let { name: "masks", ty: Null, … }).unknown ?? nullis unknown, notnull.2. The pointer-locals collector took that inference as proof.

scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py --unrooted-allocasreported 0 on the failing IR: the stored value's provenance is a property read (js_object_get_field_by_name_f64,js_object_get_field_ic_miss, an inline-cache slot load throughinttoptr), which its heap-source vocabulary (ALLOC_RE,HEAP_SOURCE_CALLS,REWRITTEN_LOAD_RE) does not include. Adding a property-read source class would have caught this; it will also change corpus counts, so it is left for a follow-up.https://claude.ai/code/session_01XAYMwhwY3emqxEFT88gQUn
