…TS#9415) console.log(class Klass {}) was "1" now "[class Klass]" console.log(new Array(3)) was "[ NaN, NaN, NaN ]" now "[ <3 empty items> ]" console.log(Promise.resolve(1)) was "Promise { <pending> }" now "Promise { 1 }" Three defects with one shape: a ladder classifies a NaN-boxed value by tag, has no arm for the case in hand, and lets the bits fall through to "must be a regular number". A class value is an INT32-tagged NaN box carrying the class id, so every `else if v.is_int32()` arm printed `as_int32()` — the raw id. `INT32_TAG | 2` and a ClassRef with class_id == 2 are bit-identical; class_ref_id's registry probe is the only thing separating them, exactly as symbol/iterator.rs documents for for…of and value/to_string.rs already does for String(C). Class ids are small and sequential, so the integers 1..=N stay undecidable at the display ladder; perry now answers "class" for those, because a class id leaking into output is never right. The probe stays inside the is_int32() arm — a value already being turned into a heap String — so ordinary numbers never pay. Measured with class ids 1 and 2 live, the collision turns out not to be observable at all: a JS number is a plain f64 double and never reaches that arm, so console.log(1), [9].length and "A".charCodeAt(0) still print integers. TAG_HOLE's bit pattern IS a NaN, which is why a hole printed as NaN rather than crashing (its sibling in json/replacer.rs, PerryTS#9398, dereferenced the same sentinel as a pointer and segfaulted). Runs of holes now collapse to Node's <N empty items>, and the single-line/multi-line decision counts the entries Node prints instead of the array's length — new Array(7) is seven slots but one entry. The same sentinel is why a tombstoned Map/Set inspected wrongly: js_set_delete writes TAG_HOLE over the slot and decrements `size` without touching `used`, so walking 0..size both rendered the tombstone and stopped short of the live tail (`new Set([1,2,3])` after delete(1) printed `Set(2) { NaN, 2 }`). Both walks now bound by `used` and skip holes, like the collection iterator objects already did. The promise arm was a hard-coded "Promise { <pending> }"; it now reads the state byte, and format_jsvalue_for_json gained the promise arm it never had, so a promise-valued field says Promise { 1 } instead of [object Object]. util.isDeepStrictEqual compares the formatted rendering of two non-pointer operands, so two DISTINCT classes sharing a name would now compare equal where their differing class ids used to separate them. A class reference is therefore compared by identity in that tail, after js_jsvalue_equals has already settled the equal case — so an ordinary integer is unaffected. All the renderings live in one builtins/formatting/value_repr.rs shared by the ladders in console.rs and formatting.rs: a fix applied to console.log and not console.error, or to format_jsvalue and not to format_jsvalue_for_json (which renders the same array once it is an object field), is a half-fix that reads as a working one. test-files/test_gap_9415_inspect_class_hole_promise.ts is byte-compared against node. Built from unfixed origin/main the same fixture diverges on 34 stdout lines and on all 4 stderr lines. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
Array.from("a\ud83db") was [] now 3 elements, node-identical
js_array_from_string_codepoints validated the payload with
std::str::from_utf8 and returned an EMPTY array on Err. Perry string payloads
are WTF-8, not UTF-8 — a lone surrogate is a legal payload, produced by
slicing a pair, by charAt, or by a chunked decoder — so any string holding
one made the whole conversion silently yield nothing. Whole-array data loss
with no error: the result was empty, not wrong-length.
The spread, for…of and [Symbol.iterator] forms over the same string were
already correct, which is what made this a wrong answer rather than a
consistent limitation. The walk now steps the raw bytes with the bounded
wtf8_step decoder those iterators use, which yields one code point per step
and reports a lone surrogate as its own single-unit step. A part carved out
of a WTF-8 source is built through js_string_from_wtf8_bytes so it keeps
STRING_FLAG_HAS_LONE_SURROGATES — isWellFormed() on the element still reports
false and JSON.stringify still escapes it as a broken half.
The mapped form Array.from(str, fn) took the same walk and was empty too; it
is fixed by the same change and asserted alongside.
The rewrite also closes a pre-existing GC hazard the old loop carried: it
held a raw `elements` pointer and a borrow of the source payload across every
per-element allocation, so an evacuating collection could move both out from
under it. The walk now uses the RuntimeHandleScope discipline string/split.rs
established — root the source and the result, re-read the source after every
allocation, publish each element only after its write and barrier — which is
why this was left out of the earlier surrogate batch rather than done as a
one-line swap.
test-files/test_gap_9431_array_from_lone_surrogate.ts is byte-compared
against node and asserts .length plus every element's char codes across all
five iteration forms. Built from unfixed origin/main the same fixture
diverges on 27 lines and then throws TypeError: Cannot read properties of
undefined (reading 'length').

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Keep the changelog focused on the shipped behavior.
The current entry mixes final behavior with implementation history, registry details, and exact origin/main comparison counts. Keep one concise root-cause statement and one concise validation statement for this defect fix. Move development-slice details and baseline-specific measurements to the PR or commit notes.
Based on learnings: Perry changelog fragments must describe one coherent final shipped behavior; defect-fix entries may retain concise root-cause and validation details, but should not include separate development-slice narratives.
Also applies to: 61-63

Do not reserve one entry per array slot.
Line 150 reserves len ArrayEntry values before iteration. A value such as new Array(10_000_000) has one hole-run entry, but this path first reserves space for ten million entries. This can terminate the runtime on allocator failure during console or inspection output.
Start with an empty vector, or cap the initial capacity by a small entry count. Add a large all-hole regression case.
Proposed fix
- let mut parts: Vec<ArrayEntry> = Vec::with_capacity(len);
+ let mut parts: Vec<ArrayEntry> = Vec::new();📝 Committable suggestion

Two value-representation fixes: values decoded as the wrong kind, wrong values reaching the user.
#9415 —
console.log/util.inspectprinted classes as integers, holes asNaN, settled promises as pendingThe tag ambiguity
A class ref is NaN-boxed
0x7FFE— the same tag as INT32 — so display ladders reachedis_int32()and printed the class id:console.log(class Klass {})→1. The disambiguator already existed:class_ref_id()(tag test + registry check), with ~15 callers;symbol/iterator.rsdocuments the collision explicitly. The display ladders never asked it.The known seven
is_int32()sites inconsole.rswere not the whole story — only four are display ladders; the two that matter most are inbuiltins/formatting.rs:format_jsvalueandformat_jsvalue_for_json, whichutil.inspect,%O, array elements, object fields and Map/Set members all route through.{ k: Klass }printed{ k: 1 }through the json twin, whichconsole.rsnever touches.The fix
New
formatting/value_repr.rsholds one implementation of each rendering; every ladder calls into it:int32_or_class_repr→[class Name]/[class Name extends Parent]/[class (anonymous)], else the integer. The name comes fromclass_name_for_idunmodified, so Function .name and Function.prototype.toString leak compiler internals (Made$4,__anon_class_8,[native code]) #9413's name fix flows straight through.array_entries_with_holes→ runs ofTAG_HOLEcollapse to<N empty items>in both array walks; the single-/multi-line decision counts entries, notlength(new Array(7)is one entry, so it stays on one line as in node).undefined, notNaN.promise_inspectreads(*p).state; the json twin also gains the promise arm it never had ({ p: Promise.resolve(1) }was{ p: [object Object] }).The residual ambiguity is not observable
INT32_TAG | 1is bit-identical for the number 1 and a ClassRef withclass_id == 1; the registry probe cannot separate them. Instrumented rather than assumed: with class ids 1 and 2 live,console.log(1),console.log(x)wherex: any = 1,[9].length,"A".charCodeAt(0),3 | 0all still print integers — a JS number in perry is a plain f64 double and never reaches the INT32 display arm. The registry probe is the second line of defence, not the only one. These controls are pinned in the fixture.A consequence paid for deliberately
util.isDeepStrictEqualcompares the formatted rendering of two non-pointer operands, so two distinct classes sharing a name would now compare equal. A class ref now compares by identity in that tail — afterjs_jsvalue_equalshas settled the equal case, soisDeepStrictEqual(1, 1.0)is untouched. Pinned in the fixture.Same defect in Map/Set formatting, fixed here
formatting/collections.rshad two superimposed bugs: noTAG_HOLEarm, and the loop bounded bysize(live count) while raw indices run0..used.new Set([1,2,3]); s.delete(1)printedSet(2) { NaN, 2 }— rendering the tombstone and never reaching the live3. Map was worse:Map(1) { NaN => undefined }. Now bounded byusedwith holes skipped, matching the collection iterators.Verification
Fixture on a binary from unfixed
origin/main: 34 stdout lines and all 4 stderr lines diverge ([class Klass]vs1,[ <3 empty items> ]vs[ NaN, NaN, NaN ],Promise { 1 }vsPromise { <pending> },Set(2) { 2, 3 }vsSet(2) { NaN, 2 }…). After: stdout and stderr byte-identical to node.#9431 —
Array.from(str)returned[]for any string with a lone surrogatejs_array_from_string_codepointsdidstd::str::from_utf8(bytes)withErr(_) => return js_array_alloc(0). Perry payloads are WTF-8, so a lone surrogate emptied the whole array — the mapped formArray.from(str, fn)takes the same walk and was also empty. Fixed with the boundedwtf8_stepwalk; parts carved from a WTF-8 source go throughjs_string_from_wtf8_bytessoisWellFormed()still reportsfalse.Also closed the pre-existing GC hazard on that loop: it held a raw
elementspointer and a source borrow across per-element allocations. Now roots both, re-reads after each allocation, publishes each slot only after its write and barrier — thestring/split.rspattern.Fixture on unfixed main: 27 lines diverge, then it throws (
TypeError … reading 'length', exit 1). After: byte-identical to node, exit 0.Suites
cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib -- --test-threads=1test-files/(1441)known_failures.json, all 4 crashes listedThe 3 unlisted failures are environmental, each verified individually:
test_parity_dns/test_parity_dns_promisesfail under node itself here (no resolver records), andtest_sock_write_mappasses standalone — its echo port was held by a concurrent agent's parity run.No other fixture moved: grepped
test-files/first — nothing else prints a class, promise, hole array or tombstoned collection at top level — and the suite confirms it.Same-shape defects found, reproduced, and deliberately NOT fixed here
The
if tag == A || tag == B { … } else { treat as C }fall-through audit, run exhaustively. Each of these is real and reproduced; each needs work outside this PR's scope:builtins/table.rs:444,456—console.table([[1,,3]])renders the hole cell asNaN; the sibling primitives-only branch at:467already skipsTAG_HOLE. A cell-only fix still would not match node (node omits the hole's column), so the header derivation needs the same treatment.builtins/table.rs:546—delete o.a; console.table(o)printsb | NaN:object_key_namescompacts tombstoned keys without preserving slot indices, then indexes fields by compacted position. Three sibling sites do this correctly;table.rsis the outlier.array/indexing.rs:549— the Set/Map arm ofjs_array_get_f64returns a raw slot with no hole translation (the array arm at:440has it). This is the hole-leak source that makes the next two reachable.builtins/arithmetic.rs:778—classify_value_typeofhas no hole arm:typeof hole === "number".value/to_string.rs:1357—js_jsvalue_to_stringrenders a hole as"NaN".param_type_guard.rs:658,684—OP_MAP/OP_SETarms have thesize-vs-usedbound and no hole arm; silently deopts aMap<string,number>param after any.delete().Verified clean, no change needed:
