…ize gate The young-entry-log change (PerryTS#9755) and the packed slot index (PerryTS#9756) were pushed without `cargo fmt`, and they carried four files past the 2000-line `scripts/check_file_size.sh` gate — `object/mod.rs` 1998 -> 2208, `object/descriptor_state.rs` 1815 -> 2044, `gc/roots.rs` 1994 -> 2027 and `gc/cycle.rs` 1998 -> 2023. Three of those four sat within two lines of the limit on main, so the gate was going to fire for whichever change landed next. Formatting is `cargo fmt` output, no hand edits. The four splits follow the gate's own recipe (extract a function group into a sibling, re-export by name) and each one is a group that already read as a unit: * `object/side_table_roots.rs` — the transition-cache and shape-cache root scanners and dead-owner prunes, each of which now exists in a full-walk and a minor-scoped form. Four pairs of related functions, one module. * `object/descriptor_state/young.rs` — the minor-scoped descriptor walk and the re-derivation of the relevant set that rule 2 checks it against. * `gc/roots/stack_bottom.rs` — the four `#[cfg]` arms of `get_stack_bottom`, the only platform-conditional code in the root scanner. The doc comment on the first arm describes a trace-phase mark helper rather than `get_stack_bottom`; it was already attached to that item and moves with it verbatim, rather than being silently re-pointed at the next item. * `gc/cycle/registered_root_scan.rs` — the two registered-root scan cursors the budgeted root scan resumes through. No behaviour change: every moved item keeps its body, and visibility widens only to the narrowest scope the new module boundary needs (`pub(super)`, except the two prunes that were `pub(crate)` and stay so).

Recycle the drained batch buffer.
take_sorted returns the old keys buffer, but the callers do not pass that buffer back to YoungLog. When a walk keeps entries, extend grows a separate kept buffer and the drained buffer is dropped. The closure and shape walkers therefore allocate the retained-key list again on each walk instead of reusing the largest existing capacity. Return the drained buffer to extend or add an explicit recycling path for it.

… % more The five tables PerryTS#9754 converted were valued individually with a measurement-only `PERRY_YOUNG_LOG=0` gate on `RuntimeRootVisitor::young_scope()` (all five scanners fall back to their full walk together inside one binary), plus a third arm — `cc_base_new`, main `1d63fa91f`, no logs at all. Three interleaved rounds, `stream_scale` len 3300, identical collection schedule in every arm (minors 196/194/196, budgeted steps 60/59/59), so these are scan costs: | scanner, ms per turn | main | log, full walk | log, minor walk | |------------------------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| | all 95 scanners | 14761/14105/19411 | 23368/23286/26974 | 2667/2852/3674 | | scan_shape_table_rekey_mut | 10884/11077/14458 | 18893/18655/22125 | 1426/1567/1947 | | scan_descriptor_roots_mut | 1807/1192/2223 | 2257/2467/2548 | 127/136/145 | | scan_closure_dynamic_props | 1014/985/1347 | 890/902/959 | 224/236/209 | | transition_cache scanner | 121/123/159 | 254/221/246 | 85/94/145 | | shape_cache scanner | 89/89/113 | 159/153/167 | 121/122/151 | The shape cache is the one table where the log loses to the walk it replaced: +34 ms (+35 %) against main, having skipped **0.0 % of 3.85 M entry visits in every one of 107 collections**. The cause was already documented — the canonical keys arrays are allocated in the LONGLIVED arena, which `addr_is_minor_relevant` must answer `true` for because a longlived parent is not write-barriered, and a longlived object is never promoted, so no entry ever leaves the log. So it goes back to the plain `values_mut()` walk: the arm helper, its production and test-seam call sites, the thread-local log, the name constant and the `debug_assert_logged` re-derivation are all deleted. An inert log is not free — it is a permanent arming obligation on every future writer of that cache plus a suppression audit that has to keep proving each site — and it should not land on the promise of a longlived remembered set that does not exist yet. When that set exists and makes this table skip something, the log can come back with a measurement. The test is kept as a scanner test (a young entry reachable only through the cache still moves and is re-keyed in both the inline slot and the overflow map) and now asserts that NO `[gc-young-log]` row exists for the table, so re-adding a log here without re-measuring is a red test. Note for anyone repeating this on another table: the two-arm version of this experiment gives the wrong answer. With the log merely disabled, the full-walk arm still pays its upkeep — a `take_sorted()` whose sorted result is discarded and an `addr_is_minor_relevant` probe per entry to rebuild `kept` — so every "off" row above is worse than main, by +7.8 s on the shapes table alone. Only the third arm says whether a log should exist at all. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014UZWia6L37DpA93VLtNK9m
`ShapeIndex.slots` — the content-hash to slot accelerator built for every keys array past `KEYS_INDEX_THRESHOLD` — was a `PtrHashMap<u64, SlotList>` per shape: a 33-byte hashbrown bucket per key in a power-of-two table (2.1 KB for a 40-key object). The compiled claude-code TUI holds thousands of these. Every hit the index produces is re-validated against the key bytes (`shape_slot_lookup_verdict`), so a colliding answer is a miss and never a wrong property — which is what lets the stored hash be narrow. `SlotIndex` is an open-addressing table of (16-bit tag, 16-bit slot) cells (4 B; a 16-bit tag and 32-bit slot only past 65,535 keys); the tag is the top of a golden-ratio fold of the FNV-1a hash (FNV's own high bits barely move for short keys), the probe position is a function of the tag alone so cells re-place themselves on growth and after a delete's `retain_shift`, load kept at or below 7/8. 40 keys: 64 x 4 B = 256 B against the 2.1 KB hashbrown table. Same O(1) probe; a repeated note-hit no longer appends a duplicate.

Summary
ShapeIndex.slots— the content-hash → slot accelerator built for every keys array pastKEYS_INDEX_THRESHOLD— was aPtrHashMap<u64, SlotList>per shape: a 33-byte hashbrown bucket per key in a power-of-two table (2.1 KB for a 40-key object). The compiled claude-code TUI holds thousands of these (shapes.indices: 18.9 MB / 6.8k entries at 2 s into a streamed reply on today's main; 89 MB / 34.5k on the 2026-09-04 census).Every hit the index produces is re-validated against the key bytes (
shape_slot_lookup_verdict), so a colliding answer is a miss and never a wrong property — which is what lets the stored hash be narrow.SlotIndexis an open-addressing table of(16-bit tag, 16-bit slot)cells (4 B; a 16-bit tag + 32-bit slot only past 65 535 keys); the tag is the top of a golden-ratio fold of the FNV-1a hash (FNV's own high bits barely move for short keys), the probe position is a function of the tag alone so cells re-place themselves on growth and after a delete'sretain_shift, load ≤ 7/8. 40 keys: 64 × 4 B = 256 B. Same O(1) probe; a repeated note-hit no longer appends a duplicate.Measurements
Heap census (
PERRY_GC_CENSUS=<file>,stream_scale.py --signal-at 2into a3300-char streamed reply) on the compiled claude-code 2.1.112 TUI. Both arms
built by the same relink pipeline from the same object cache, run back to back.
cc_base= main12efed1222;cand= this branch (it also carries #9755,which is CPU-only and does not change a table's size).
shapes.indicesshapes.familiesshapes.descriptorsshapes.by_factsside_table_bytes(all 40 tables)phys_footprint2.73 KB → 386 B per indexed shape, at an identical live set. The
shapes.familiesrow grows because the census attributes the per-familySlotIndexcells there now that they are no longer a separate hashbrownallocation; the total is the number that matters, and it is 13.0 MB lower.
The 2026-09-04 census that motivated this quoted
shapes.indicesat 89 MB /34 541 entries — a longer-running process. The per-entry ratio is what
transfers, and it is the same 7×.
CPU and the footprint gate —
stream_scale.py --mem --idle 12, 400-char reply(Stacked arm: #9755 + this. The memory win above is this PR's; the CPU win is #9755's.)
400-char reply, three interleaved base/candidate pairs (base, cand, base,
cand, base, cand) plus the node arm, run back to back through the campaign's
measure_lock.sh. Reported per run, not averaged, because settled footprint isbimodal (it depends on whether a full collection fell inside the window).
Turn CPU −21.6 % (10.51 → 8.24 s mean). Footprint after the turn is lower in
every pair and the candidate's spread collapses (1799–1811 MB against
1872–1935; peak RSS 1894–1897 against 1893–1997). Neither metric regresses.
The gap to node is still ~35× on CPU and ~5.5× on footprint — this is one step,
not the fix.
Tests
slot_index_tests(3000-key round trip + false-candidate bound, note-hit dedupe,retain_shift, narrow→wide promotion), theobject::suite (319) and thegc::suite (1048).https://claude.ai/code/session_01YPfnmWZmSpSWpmnoXvH8z2
Correctness — rule 1 is now enforceable, and the audit that says so
The earlier claim in this description ("under
debug_assertionsa minor-scopedwalk re-derives the relevant set and panics on any key the log does not name —
this caught two writer sites while landing") was true of the mechanism and
false of the verification. Two things were wrong, and both are fixed here.
debug_assert_loggedis compiled out of--release. There is nodebug-assertions = trueunder[profile.release], so no releasecargo testrun — including the 3152-test run first reported here — everexecuted rule 2. A
gcauditprofile (release codegen, debug assertions on) isadded for it:
Three
#[cfg(test)]seeds re-implemented the arming, so the testsvalidated a rule that was not the shipped one and never touched the production
writers. Deleting the arm site in

same predicate:

arm_shape_cache_young,arm_transition_cache_young) that every writer calls, and the young-log testsdrive the production writers through
test_shape_cache_insert/test_transition_cache_insert, which are nothing but calls. A new test coversthe clause no seed exercised: a young interned KEY under an OLD target.
The audit
Each of the 21 arm sites suppressed in turn from one build. 14 fail a test
when removed, and the failure is rule 2's own diagnostic — e.g.
young log for object.descriptors does not name 5717278851120, which holds a minor-relevant pointer: a writer of that table publishes without note-ing the key first.arm_shape_cache_youngnote;shape_cache_insert's callyoung_shape_cache_entry_is_moved_through_the_logarm_transition_cache_youngnote;transition_cache_insert's callyoung_transition_cache_target_is_rewritten…,young_transition_key_under_an_old_target…next_keysclause /kidclausedead_young_closure_owner_is_pruned…+young_value_under_an_old_closure_owner…;young_closure_prop_value_is_moved…note_young_keysnote;family_push_back's callyoung_keys_array_family_is_rekeyed_through_the_logdead_young_descriptor_owner_is_pruned…,old_descriptor_owners_are_skipped…,young_accessor_getter_is_moved…Seven sites did not fail any test. Four of them were the entire arming of
shapes.indices— the table #9756 restructures — and are now covered, onededicated test each, all four re-audited and all four caught by rule 2's own

KEYS_INDEX_THRESHOLD, or no index is built at all; a complete index, or thedelete migration declines and never arms). They are behavioural rather than
representation-specific, so they pass against both the
PtrHashMapindex and#9756's packed 4-byte cells.
Three sites remain knowingly uncovered, on ground neither PR restructures:
transfer_descriptor_owner(array-growth ownership transfer),install_fresh_accessor_propertyandset_builtin_accessor_descriptor. Notest reaches those paths, so a missed arm in them would not be caught by this
suite. They are recorded rather than half-covered; rule 2 checks any test that
reaches them, so closing them is a matter of exercising the paths.

1d63fa91f+train125 (c7361c87c)Replayed clean on top of the rebased #9755; no conflicts in this commit. The two
