77-77: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winRename the boundary loop variable so it does not shadow the holder name.
Line 30 binds
nameto the holder name, and Line 70 seeds the closed reference set from it. Line 77 rebindsnameto the boundary function name on every iteration. The current code is correct only becausesymbolsis built before the loop. Any later use of the holder name inside this function would silently read a boundary function name instead, which mis-seeds the reference set that the whole contract depends on.♻️ Proposed rename
- symbols = {name} + holder_name = name + symbols = {holder_name} boundaries = [] for role in ("start", "end", "owner"): boundary = window.get(role) if not isinstance(boundary, dict): fail(f"requires a {role} boundary with file and function") continue - rel, name = boundary.get("file"), boundary.get("function") + rel, function = boundary.get("file"), boundary.get("function") if not isinstance(rel, str) or rel not in pinned: fail(f"{role} boundary must be in a pinned source file") continue - if not isinstance(name, str) or not re.fullmatch(r"[A-Za-z_]\w*", name): + if not isinstance(function, str) or not re.fullmatch(r"[A-Za-z_]\w*", function): fail(f"{role} function must be a Rust identifier") continue - if not re.search(r"\bfn\s+" + re.escape(name) + r"\s*(?:<|\()", pinned[rel]): - fail(f"{role} function {name} is missing from {rel}") + if not re.search(r"\bfn\s+" + re.escape(function) + r"\s*(?:<|\()", pinned[rel]): + fail(f"{role} function {function} is missing from {rel}") if role != "owner": - symbols.add(name) - boundaries.append((rel, name)) + symbols.add(function) + boundaries.append((rel, function))🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Extend TLS_BLOCK to match ::std::thread_local!. crates/perry-runtime/src/tls_hot.rs uses this spelling at lines 989 and 994. The matcher skips these blocks, so their declarations can escape rule-T enumeration.

Raw
thread_local!declarations could bypass the GC holder inventory when their storage used opaque types. Scan qualified and unqualified raw TLS with the existing rule-T policy, and give the census address snapshot an explicitnon_moving_snapshotverdict so its production declarations can use hot TLS.The census contract records the mark-complete and sweep-entry boundaries, the synchronous collector owner, and source pins for their reviewed control flow. Source changes or new references outside those files fail the gate and require renewed review. Full-file pins are deliberately conservative; this is a review contract, not a semantic proof of arbitrary callees. The census remains deliberately untraced.
The scan exposes 387 additional historical declarations. Existing uncovered identities join the current frontier ratchet as audit debt, while the five census holders receive researched verdicts. These frontier pins do not claim GC safety or add scanner coverage. New raw holders fail without coverage, a verdict, or an explicit debt pin; deleted or newly covered holders retire their pins.
Validation:
The baseline Linux warnings-gate failure is addressed separately by #9752.
Closes #9740. No version bump.
