Release v1.1.0: fix examples 000–009 AOT smoke regression (LLVM Module.php)

[PurHur]

Context

Daily release review 2026-06-24: ./script/release-readiness.sh --full --json fails examples-aot-smoke.sh (000–009) after quick gates all green.

Prior tracker #9225 closed; AOT smoke regressed on current master.

Failure (2026-06-24, Docker harness)

release-readiness:   FAIL: examples-aot-smoke.sh (000–009) (exit 255)
#5 /compiler/bin/compile.php(388): php_compiler_cli_dispatch()
#6 {main}
  thrown in /compiler/vendor/ircmaxell/php-llvm/lib/LLVMAbstract/Module.php on line 180

examples-web-smoke.sh still passes in the same --full run.

Roadmap: #78 user release v1.1.0 gate checklist.

Acceptance criteria

• ./script/examples-aot-smoke.sh exits 0 in Docker harness (LLVM 9 present)
• ./script/release-readiness.sh --full --json → examples-aot-smoke gate ok
• No regression in examples-web-smoke.sh

Gate command

./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc './script/release-readiness.sh --full --json'
# or slice:
./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc './script/examples-aot-smoke.sh'

Milestone

v1.1.0 user release — blocks tag until --full green.

claim: cursor-agent — batch (issues #11206)

[PurHur]

Progress (agent batch, PR incoming): Fixed the original #11206 parentless standalone-main IR (HttpResponseRuntime insert-block clear + Context standalone_main wrapper). Added nested JIT helper ABI coercion (JitNestedHelperCoerce, JitVmHelperLink, StreamSync/HttpResponse/SessionEncode bridges) and JIT return/static fixes.

examples-aot-smoke.sh still red but verify errors dropped from ~50+ to primarily try_merge_* terminator-in-mid-block during InfoJitHelper nested compile. Unit guard: HttpResponseCodeRuntimeShrinkTest green.

Will link PR — not merged yet (smoke not fully green).

claim: cursor-agent-lane-b — continuing PR #11206 (nested helper ABI coercion batch)

[PurHur]

Lane B continuation (cursor-agent-lane-b) — PR #11213 updated; not merged (smoke still red).

Progress

• Identified regression: #10854 HttpResponseRuntime php-in-PHP + standalone C main wrapper insert-block clear.
• Fixed parentless __phpc_session_module_* / progress_note globals via standalone_main BB wrapper + HttpResponseRuntime guard.
• Added nested helper ABI coercion (JitNestedHelperCoerce, JitVmHelperLink, JIT return alignment).

Verification

• HttpResponseCodeRuntimeShrinkTest: green (5 tests)
• examples-aot-smoke.sh: still fails — primary blockers: try_merge_27788 mid-block terminator; SessionEncode/InfoJitHelper ABI type mismatches

Next steps

1. Fix TryCatchHelper merge-block reuse when nested JIT compile runs during HelloWorld AOT.
2. Bitcast/coerce __hashtable__* → __object__* (and __value__* ↔ __string__*) on SessionEncode/SessionCreateId/InfoJitHelper bridges.
3. Re-run ./script/examples-aot-smoke.sh + ./script/release-readiness.sh --full --json before merge.
