# #10868 measurement: `PERRY_SHAPE_MINT_DIAG`, the per-mint cause /
# key-list-identity / call-site / transition-cache-outcome census.
#
# The feature covers the WHOLE instrument. Every call site is
# `#[cfg(feature = "shape-mint-diag")]`, so a stock build emits none of it and
# `PERRY_SHAPE_MINT_DIAG` measures NOTHING there — not the cache split, not the
# call sites, and not mint volume either. Build with
# `--features perry-runtime/shape-mint-diag` to measure anything at all. The
# module itself always compiles, so its unit tests cannot bit-rot behind a
# feature nobody builds.
#
# It is all-or-nothing on purpose, and the staging measurement is why. Gating
# `#[track_caller]` alone, then the transition-cache probes as well — 1.4 M
# lookups on one `transpileModule`, the probes that LOOK hot — still left
# +0.32 % / +0.35 % on `accd` / `acc`. That residual tracked MINT VOLUME, not
# call frequency: those fixtures mint 3 and 4 ids per object, while `pool` and
# `same` mint almost none and were already at zero. Ranking hooks by how hot
# they look gets this backwards, so every call site is gated rather than
# argued about.
shape-mint-diag = []

# `default` keeps the shipped prebuilt libperry_runtime.a and plain
# `cargo build`/test full-featured. The auto-optimize path builds with
# `--no-default-features` and re-adds only the features a given program

Record actual target-array length mismatches as TargetLen.

transition_edge_places_key rejects an array whose length differs from slot_idx + 1 before transition_cache_lookup reaches the later TargetLen accounting. This misclassifies grown or shortened targets as PlacesKey. Both paths return None, so the cache behavior is unchanged; only the diagnostics are inaccurate. Return a distinct failure reason from the helper, or separate length validation from key validation, and map length failures to TcMiss::TargetLen while preserving the fallback.

In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/object/mod.rs` around lines 1049 - 1052, Update the
transition-edge validation around transition_edge_places_key and
transition_cache_lookup so target-array length mismatches are classified as
TcMiss::TargetLen rather than TcMiss::PlacesKey. Separate length validation from
key validation or return a distinct failure reason, while preserving the
existing None fallback and key-miss accounting.
