fix(codegen): don't TDZ-check class capture forwards at a new site (#11086)

[proggeramlug]

Fixes #11086.

Root cause

@noble/curves' weierstrassPoints (compiled from src/abstract/weierstrass.ts) declares class Point { static readonly BASE = new Point(...); multiply() { … wnaf … } } and then const wnaf = wNAF(Point, …) after the class. Perry lifts the class and passes captured outer locals by value. The static initializer's new Point(...) gets the class's captures appended as trailing ctor args (Expr::New { cap_args_appended: 1, args: [.., LocalGet(wnaf)] }). That new runs while the class is being defined, when wnaf's preallocated box still holds the TDZ sentinel. So the checked box read threw ReferenceError: Cannot access 'wnaf' before initialization before any user code touched wnaf.

Minimal repro:

function make(g: number) {
  class Point {
    static readonly BASE = new Point(g);
    x: number;
    constructor(x: number) { this.x = x; }
    mul(n: number) { return wnaf.mul(n) + "@" + this.x; }
  }
  const wnaf = { mul: (n: number) => "wnaf*" + n };
  return Point;
}
console.log(make(5).BASE.mul(3));

Fix

lower_new now passes the appended-capture count through to lower_new_impl_inner. The trailing cap_args_appended forwards are lowered inside the same js_tdz_suppress_begin/end window that the decl-site capture snapshots already use (RegisterClassCaptures #6052, class-expression capture arrays #6523). These forwards are Perry-internal materialization, not user reads. User constructor args are still TDZ-checked.

Methods on the early-built instance still see the live binding once it is initialized: BASE.mul(3) prints wnaf*3@5, the same as Node.

Validation

• @noble/curves/secp256k1 getPublicKey(pk) compiled from real source: before the fix it threw the issue's ReferenceError. After the fix its output is byte-identical to Node 26.5.1. This is the same path new ethers.Wallet(pk) takes. The full ethers fixture still hits ethers: link fails with undefined reference to __perry_wrap_perry_fn_..._ws_ts__WebSocket #11044's link failure on main, and that fix is in open PRs.
• New gap test test_gap_11086_static_new_forward_capture.ts matches Node byte-for-byte.
• All 32 existing capture/TDZ tests (test-files/*{tdz,captur,class_forward,ctor_arg}*, including class methods referencing a const declared after the class: capture omitted (ReferenceError) or spurious TDZ at class definition — kills Next.js standalone boot (bundled semver) #6523, regression: #6541 store-plan cache sharing re-breaks bundled zod (#6530 repros fail again) — Next.js standalone down on main #6595, Next.js standalone: deferred-require binding captured by-value (as unresolved thunk) by a class constructor → 'undefined is not a constructor' #5437, Forward-captured const stays TDZ-poisoned after initialization (mutual recursion; error also names 'undefined' not the binding) #9721 and codegen: captured let loses its TDZ on the second loop iteration #10051) are byte-identical to Node with this build.
• cargo fmt --check and check_file_size.sh pass.

Known divergence (unchanged class of behavior)

If the constructor body itself reads a dead-zone capture during such a static new (class C { static X = new C(); constructor(){ this.v = later } } const later = 1), Node throws. Perry now reads undefined there instead. This is the same trade-off the decl-site snapshot suppression (#6523) already makes, and only programs that rely on that throw are affected.

Also seen while testing, pre-existing and unrelated: a function-nested class declaration evaluated by two calls of its factory is one shared class in Perry (makeCurve(a) === makeCurve(b), and statics are overwritten by the later call). The gap test uses a single factory call for that reason.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where creating an instance inside a class’s static initializer could incorrectly trigger a temporal dead zone error when the class referenced variables declared later in its enclosing function. Those references now behave as undefined until their declarations are initialized.

Walkthrough

Constructor lowering now tracks appended capture arguments and suppresses TDZ checks when it lowers those arguments. A regression test covers a nested class whose static initializers construct instances before captured bindings declared later are initialized.

The fix stops the spurious ReferenceError when a class constructs itself in a static initializer. However, the same path can now erase the "not yet initialized" state of a captured variable. Code that reads that variable before its declaration may then see undefined instead of throwing, which diverges from JavaScript semantics. Resolve this before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve the TDZ state across capture write-back.

If a static initializer constructs Point before a captured const later is initialized, this suppression window forwards undefined for later. The standalone-constructor path then calls emit_class_capture_writeback, which writes the capture value to the outer box without checking for TAG_TDZ. That write replaces the TDZ sentinel. A user read of later after the class but before its declaration can therefore return undefined instead of throwing ReferenceError. Keep the outer binding TDZ-poisoned during internal forwarding, including the write-back path. Add a regression that reads the binding before its declaration after the static construction.
