🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Keep one diagnostic identity for each cache site.
A site can miss before its first cache allocation. This branch records that event under cache_slot as usize. A later own-property prime resolves the cache and records its prime and miss under cache as usize. The existing slot-keyed SiteStat is not migrated, so the per-site table splits one logical site and separates its prime counters from earlier misses.
Migrate the slot-keyed record when the cache first resolves, or retain one stable identity for both ic_note and ic_note_prime.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Use the canonical plausible-heap predicate before raw dereferences.
Replace is_above_handle_band with crate::value::addr_class::is_plausible_heap_addr. This new fast path directly reads a GcHeader and a field slot. The lower-level handle-band check can drift from the runtime heap-address classification.
Proposed change
- if !crate::value::addr_class::is_above_handle_band(addr) {
+ if !crate::value::addr_class::is_plausible_heap_addr(addr) {
return None;
}Based on learnings: “use the canonical predicate crate::value::addr_class::is_plausible_heap_addr for the handle-band/heap-floor check.”

… shape
`PERRY_IC_DIAG` counted misses but could not say WHY a site that primes on
every read keeps missing. Two explanations demand opposite fixes, and the miss
table cannot tell them apart:
* the receiver's shape really changed between reads (polymorphism — widen or
re-tier the ways), or
* the site was re-primed with the shape it already held (the cache holds the
right answer and nothing consulted it — priming/invalidation or IC layout).
`pic_prime_get` is the one place where both candidate answers are still live:
`prev_tok`, `token`, the four ways and `PIC_WAY_STATE` are all in registers
immediately before the write that destroys them. So the split is recorded
there, three ways:
* `same_token` — re-primed the MRU shape,
* `new_token` + `in_ways` — the token was ALREADY in one of the four ways,
so the polymorphic cache held it and the read reached the handler anyway,
* `new_token`, not in a way — a shape neither the MRU entry nor the ways had.
plus a way-state census at prime time (`fresh` / `armed` / `megamorphic`), so a
site latched off by `PIC_MEGAMORPHIC_EVICTIONS` is distinguishable from one
still trying. Reported globally and per site.
Miss rows are now keyed by the RESOLVED cache rather than by the slot that
points at it, because a prime only ever sees the resolved cache; without that
the two halves of one site would never merge into one row. A site that has
never primed keeps its slot as the key (it has no prime rows to merge with).
Diagnostic only: every probe sits behind `ic_on()`, and the values it reads are
ones the caller already has.
…ever had PerryTS#5391 path 3 replaces the inline generic-get diamond with a single `js_object_get_field_ic` call in oversized modules, and the diamond's monomorphic fast-load went with it. Nothing replaced it: the helper observed typed feedback and then called `js_object_get_field_ic_miss` UNCONDITIONALLY, on every read of every heap receiver. The per-site cache was written by every read and consulted by nobody. The threshold that turns full-outlining on (4,000 callables) is met by the whole MODULE, so on a minified bundle every generic property read in the program takes that path. `nm -u` on the compiled claude-code object is the proof: it references `js_object_get_field_ic` and does not reference `js_object_get_field_ic_miss` at all — there is no inline diamond anywhere in the binary, so nothing was ever positioned to hit. Measured with `PERRY_IC_DIAG`'s prime split, one 400-character reply: 2,663,424 entries to the miss handler over 12,326 sites; 2,122,626 of them primed; and **95.2 % of those primes wrote the token the site's MRU entry already held**. The four hottest sites (`.done`, `.ambiguousAsWide`, `.value`, `.segment`, ~195k reads each) each recorded exactly ONE new-token prime and ~195k same-token primes with `PIC_WAY_STATE` still 0 — perfectly monomorphic sites, a cache holding the right answer, and the whole miss ladder walked every time. So these were never misses: they are every property read in the program. `pic_outlined_mru_hit` reads the cache the same path already writes. Its guards are `lower_generic_property_get`'s, one for one and in the same order — real heap pointer, `GC_TYPE_OBJECT`, `OBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORS` clear, non-zero shape stamp equal to the cached token, no `IC_SLOT_OVERFLOW_BIT`, no `TAG_HOLE` — and the raw header loads are the ones it emits, licensed by the same already-established pointer tag. Anything it declines still reaches the handler, so this only ever removes work. Word 2 (the Array-subclass named-prefix token) and the polymorphic ways are deliberately left to the handler: 2.5 % of primes between them, and each needs its own proof. `PERRY_IC_OUTLINE_FASTPATH=0` restores the old behaviour for a same-binary A/B.
…gs` job rejects Three checks were failing on PR PerryTS#9802, none of them for a reason in its own diff: * `self-test-checkers` — `check_thread_locals.py` rejected the two raw `thread_local!` blocks in `hot_diag.rs`. They are not this PR's: main fixed them in 5112112, and the branch was based on 1d63fa9. Rebasing onto main is the fix; nothing here touches them. * `lint` — the fragment must be named `changelog.d/<PR-number>-<slug>.md` per `changelog.d/README.md`, so `outlined-ic-monomorphic-hit.md` did not count as a fragment at all. Renamed. * `warnings` — `cargo check -p perry --bins` builds `perry-runtime` WITHOUT `regex-engine`, and every use of `HashMap` in `regex.rs` sits inside a `#[cfg(feature = "regex-engine")]` block (the four caches and `evict_regex_cache_if_full`), so the unconditional import is an unused-import error under `-D warnings`. The import now carries the same cfg as its uses. The last one is a pre-existing defect on main — `regex.rs` is byte-identical at 1d63fa9 and at c7361c8 — surfaced by this PR only because it is one of the PRs whose `warnings` job ran to completion. It is a one-line attribute in another lane's file, kept minimal for that reason. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014UZWia6L37DpA93VLtNK9m

cc has no inline property-read cache at all
nm -uon the compiled claude-code object is the whole story:cc's module is past the 4,000-callable threshold, so #5391 path 3 full-outlines
every generic property get into one
js_object_get_field_iccall. That helperobserves typed feedback and then calls
js_object_get_field_ic_missunconditionally, on every read of every heap receiver. The inline diamond's
monomorphic fast-load was traded away for code size and nothing replaced it:
the per-site cache is written by every read and consulted by nobody. There is
no inline diamond anywhere in the binary, so nothing was ever positioned to hit.
The threshold is a property of the whole MODULE, so this is not a corner case:
it is every generic property read in every minified bundle perry compiles.
The evidence that this is what the "2.5 M IC misses per turn" were
PERRY_IC_DIAGgains a prime split in this PR. Insidepic_prime_get,where
prev_tok,token, the four ways andPIC_WAY_STATEare all still inregisters, every prime is classified as: re-priming the token the MRU entry
already held, priming a token already sitting in one of the ways, or priming a
genuinely new shape.
One 400-character streamed reply, before this change:
The four hottest sites, ~195k reads each:
doneambiguousAsWidevaluesegmentOne new-token prime each — the first sighting — then ~195k re-primes of the
identical token, with
PIC_WAY_STATEnever leaving 0. Perfectly monomorphicsites, a cache holding the right answer, and the whole miss ladder walked on
every read. The polymorphic rows say it from the other side: the hottest
traitssite records 2,893 new-token primes of which 2,353 found the tokenalready in a way.
So those were never misses. They are every property read in the program.
The change
pic_outlined_mru_hitreads the cache that path already writes. Its guards arelower_generic_property_get's, one for one and in the same order: real heappointer,
GC_TYPE_OBJECT,OBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORSclear, non-zero shapestamp equal to the cached token, no
IC_SLOT_OVERFLOW_BIT, noTAG_HOLE. Theraw header loads are the ones it emits, licensed by the same already-established
pointer tag.
js_typed_feedback_record_guard_passfires exactly where theemitted
pic.hit.liveblock fires it.Anything the hit path declines still reaches the handler, so this only removes
work. The code-size win the outlining exists for is untouched — still one call
per site.
Word 2 (the Array-subclass named-prefix token) and the polymorphic ways are
deliberately left to the handler: 2.5 % of primes between them, each needs its
own proof.
Measured: mechanism proven, and NO end-to-end CPU win on cc
Stated up front because it is the honest headline. Same binary, one environment
variable apart (
PERRY_IC_OUTLINE_FASTPATH=0), 400-char reply, interleavedtwice, all six runs in one
measure_lock.shacquisition, node arm in the samesession.
The mechanism moves exactly as predicted — the falsifier I stated in advance
was "primes must collapse from 2.12 M to roughly the site count":
js_object_get_field_ic_misssame_tokenprimesown_inline_primed.done,.ambiguousAsWide,.valueand.segmentdisappear from the top ofthe per-site table entirely: they now hit.
End to end it is flat:
Neither metric regresses, and neither improves measurably. I am not claiming a
CPU win on cc.
A
samplepair on the same binary says why, and it is worth recording: thisturn is 51.5 % (OFF) / 55.6 % (ON) gc/arena at the leaf and 66.5 % / 70.9 %
gc-cycle inclusive, while the entire
ic/shapesleaf category is 8.5 % in botharms. Removing 2.07 M miss-ladder traversals is simply not where cc's remaining
CPU is; cc is allocation- and GC-bound, which is what the campaign's other lanes
are measuring from their side.
Why land it anyway
Per the campaign's ranking rule — prefer removing work over making work cheaper,
even when the second shows a bigger number today — this removes an entire class
of work that should never have been there: a cache that is written on every read
and read never. cc happens to be dominated by something else; a full-outlined
module that is not GC-bound (a parser, a validator, a server handling
request objects) pays the whole ladder on every property read today and will
not after this. The counters above are the claim; the CPU table is the honest
context.
What is left, with numbers
The 649,216 residual entries are the receiver kinds the hit path deliberately
declines, and they are a ranked list of follow-ups:
own_descriptor_fallthrough(descriptor-bearing objects — zod schemas)not_own(prototype-chain reads)array_lengthnon_object_gc_typeclosure_propown_overflow_primedTests
cargo test -p perry-runtime --release field_get_set -- --test-threads=1:31 passed, 0 failed. The existing
pic_prime_get/ PIC-layout tests (wayarming, megamorphic latch, latch retry, overflow slots) all still pin the cache
semantics this hit path now depends on.
