What

A class nested in a function stored its captured outer variables on every instance, as hidden __perry_cap_* keys. The captures now live in a per-class environment, following the owner decision "class captures move off instances, guarded by evaluation" (option 2: exact, with no run-once assumption about CJS bodies).

  • One evaluation: a class whose definition runs once, or a class expression evaluated to a fresh class object (every class in a CommonJS module body), reads its captures with one compare and one load.
  • Second evaluation (e.g. a re-run module body): captures are resolved per receiver, so each instance still sees its own evaluation's values. That includes methods extracted from an old evaluation and new Self() inside members and nested closures (d587596af).
  • Reflection never sees the environment (Object.keys, hasOwnProperty, JSON, spread are unchanged).

Why it matters

TypeScript's AST nodes carried 3–10 hidden capture keys each. That meant 25% more bytes per node, and pos/end/kind sat at shifting slots depending on the class's capture count, which splits shapes at every read site. tsc now carries 0 hidden capture keys; before the change it carried 317K.

Numbers

Measured against upstream/main 472246618, 6 interleaved rounds, instructions:u, same output on both arms:

workload main → branch peak RSS
tsc transpileModule 122.13 G → 108.51 G (−11.2%) 303 → 292 MB
Zod 3.3316 G → 3.3321 G (flat) 108 → 107 MB

Verification

  • Suites (all at --test-threads=1, 0 failed): perry-hir 809, perry-transform 161, perry-codegen 2209, perry-runtime 4478.
  • class_capture_environment: 15/15 pass. Sabotage runs show the tests can fail:
    • skipping the self-construction stamp fails 1/15, the new re-evaluation test;
    • skipping the evaluation guard fails 4/15.
  • Lint: cargo fmt --check is clean. scripts/run_lint_gates.sh passes 98/100. The 2 failures are host-only: cargo xwin is not installed, and public-baseline freshness also fails on main.
  • Merge: clean against current main (git merge-tree).

Not in this PR

A capture-free class expression evaluated twice still lowers to one shared class, which is a separate pre-existing bug. Filed as #11298.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Nested classes now preserve captured values in a shared environment when evaluated once or created fresh, while repeated module evaluations resolve captures for the appropriate class instance.
    • Class capture behavior now remains consistent across nested classes, factories, loops, and inherited members.
  • Performance
    • Reduced the number of instructions generated during TypeScript transpilation by approximately 11%.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Class capture lowering now selects shared class environments for eligible definitions and retains per-instance capture storage for repeatable definitions. Guarded environments resolve captures by class evaluation. Code generation and runtime support environment registration, capture access, instance stamping, and garbage-collector root scanning.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6d273

Repeated imported calls may share captures incorrectly, and collection during class evaluation may invalidate a capture reference. Resolve these concerns before merging and correct the changelog description.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6d273

A later evaluation of a capturing class may read the first evaluation’s captured values if its capture metadata is removed or changed. This is a conditional exposure between callers sharing a runtime, not an established cross-service or cross-tenant exposure.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: After a second evaluation, removing or replacing that class object’s capture array can make its members read or write the first evaluation’s captures instead of remaining within their own evaluation.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified fallback can affect captures from the first evaluation of the same compiled class within a runtime thread. Evidence does not establish separate tenant, service, or credential domains sharing that environment.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If code holding a later class evaluation changes its named capture-array field to a non-pointer value, a guarded member read on that evaluation can return the first evaluation’s captured value. Ordinary production attaches the array before evaluation, so this path depends on subsequent mutation or missing metadata.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Evaluation identity normally comes from the active lexical brand, static owner, or receiver; a distinct evaluation does not overwrite the first evaluation’s slots. The fallback does not require a valid non-owner array before selecting those slots.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Targeted differential tests cover normal repeated evaluations, extracted methods, and instance reflection. The inspected tests do not establish behavior after mutation of a class object’s capture-array field.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep evaluation-specific captures in private, type-checked runtime metadata, or make a missing non-owner capture array fail closed rather than resolving to first-evaluation slots; verify the choice with a repeated-evaluation mutation test.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the "resolved per receiver" claim.

Lines 5-6 say that a second evaluation "is resolved per receiver". The tests show different behavior. In crates/perry/tests/class_capture_environment.rs, first.Box.prototype.get.call(b) returns e1 even though b belongs to the second evaluation (Lines 336 and 348). first.Box.prototype.make.call(b) also builds an e1 instance (Lines 372 and 387). Capture resolution follows the evaluation of the member that runs. Instances record their evaluation for construction. The receiver does not decide the result. Change the text so it matches this behavior.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

js_class_env_evaluate can receive a stale capture-array pointer.

caps_box is an SSA register. It holds the NaN-boxed pointer to an array that js_array_alloc created in young space.

The js_object_set_field_by_name call at Line 684 runs between the creation of caps_box and this publish_guarded call. The #7211 comment above states that this helper allocates during the keys-array transition. A copying minor collection can run during that allocation and move the capture array. caps_box still holds the old address after the call returns.

js_class_env_evaluate then calls publish_array, which reads js_array_length and js_array_get_f64 through that address. The owner evaluation then publishes from-space data into the slot globals.

The trigger is the first evaluation of a guarded class expression when the field set triggers a minor collection. The consequence is wrong capture values for every member that reads the environment, or a read of reclaimed memory.

js_class_env_evaluate does not allocate, and caps_box is still valid before the field store. Publish before the store.

🐛 Proposed fix: publish before the allocating field store
                     let key_idx = ctx.strings.intern("__perry_ctor_caps");
                     let key_handle_global =

+                    // bare register and is only valid until the next collection

+                    let obj = group.reread_emitted(ctx, rooted);
+                    let obj_box = nanbox_pointer_inline(ctx.block(), &obj);

Based on learnings: callers must root live NaN-boxed values before a call that can trigger GC. After the call, they must re-derive raw values from rooted handles.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Treat exported function declarations as ineligible for run-once.

FnDecls marks a declaration eligible when it is plain and its name is declared once. run_once_class_spans then admits it when the module-wide ident count is exactly 2. For export function make() { class A { m() { return x; } } return A; } make(); the inline export adds no Ident. The count is 2 (declaration and local call), so the body of make becomes run-once and A is classified CaptureDefinition::RunOnce.

An importing module can call make() again. Each evaluation then runs through the same unguarded env slots. The constructor publish (ClassEnvSet { publish: true }) and the unguarded ClassEnvGet share one slot per class. Instances from the first evaluation then read the captures of the latest evaluation. The old per-instance storage kept each evaluation separate, so this is a behavior regression.

The same premise also fails for any other escape the ident count cannot see. One example is a Script-level function declaration reflected onto globalThis. Please exclude that case too if script-mode entry modules can reach this analysis.

🐛 Proposed fix
 impl Visit for FnDecls {
+    // An exported declaration can be called from other modules, so a single
+    // local call does not prove the body runs once.

Merge queue (priority PR): CI shows 3 gap regressions, pass → parity_fail: test_gap_10486_class_expr_subclass_captures and test_gap_9089_class_expr_self_private_identity (gap-suite 2), and test_gap_11200_inherited_static_module_captures (gap-suite 3). This head is 102 commits behind main, and several class-evaluation fixes landed since its base (#11230, #11242, #11264, #11236). Please rebase onto current main and fix; the merge queue will verify and merge immediately after.

The three gap regressions are real: test_gap_10486_class_expr_subclass_captures, test_gap_9089_class_expr_self_private_identity (gap-suite 2), and test_gap_11200_inherited_static_module_captures (gap-suite 3). I'm rebasing onto current main, which includes #11230, #11242, #11264 and #11236. I'll root-cause each failure and run the full gap suite on both arms before pushing a new head. Please hold this PR until then.

Merge queue: pointers for the 3 regressions, from a stood-down queue subagent. They come from reading the diff only and are UNTESTED; the owner's lane is doing the real fix.

  • The rebase onto main 80eb5b0 applies all 9 commits with no conflicts.
  • 9089 (two evaluations A/B of makeState, then A.get.call(B)) and 11200 (Base.make inherited statics called through subclasses) should both reach the guarded path once a class has been evaluated twice: js_class_env_get → member_evaluation in crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_env.rs. That takes the method's own evaluation if one is recorded, otherwise the receiver's. A subclass receiver or a foreign class value may resolve to the wrong evaluation there, bypassing fix(runtime): isolate private storage by class evaluation (#11163) #11242's per-evaluation private storage and fix(runtime): an inherited static reads its declaring class evaluation's captures (#11200, #10911) #11230's declaring-class capture read.
  • 10486 (subclass captures of a class expression): the PR stops declaring per-instance capture fields when the class uses the environment (class_captures.rs step 1, the env_mode skip). A subclass that relied on the parent's captures being unioned into its constructor through those fields is a plausible regression point.

…super and inherited statics

Three gap regressions on #11297 (10486, 9089, 11200):

- A constructor published its capture params into the class environment
  at entry, but super(...args) reaching an ancestor constructor through
  the runtime fills those params from the decl-site snapshot, which a
  class expression never registers. The base class environment was
  overwritten with undefined. The evaluation and its refreshes already
  publish the real values: a guarded class no longer publishes from its
  constructor, and an unguarded one never publishes undefined.
- A member resolved its evaluation from the method value or the receiver
  only. An inherited static runs in the evaluation it was FOUND on (the
  static private owner), and a subclass receiver or class ref must be
  walked up its heritage to the declaring template - exactly the
  candidates and walk js_class_capture_value_for_receiver uses
  (capture_owner_for_template). Extracted statics (A.get.call(B)) and
  B3 extends f("b") now read their own evaluation.

New head 6d273bf14 (rebased; merges cleanly into current main).

Root causes of the 3 gap regressions, fixed in 6d273bf14:

  • test_gap_10486 and test_gap_9089 had one cause. A subclass constructed through super(...args) reaches the base constructor with declaration-time capture params. A class expression never registers those, so they arrive undefined, and the base constructor published those undefined values into its class environment. Now the class evaluation is the only publisher for guarded classes, and an unguarded class never publishes undefined.
  • test_gap_11200: an inherited static resolved its evaluation from the receiver (the subclass). It now uses main's fix(runtime): an inherited static reads its declaring class evaluation's captures (#11200, #10911) #11230 candidate order: the method's own evaluation, then the class the static was found on, then the receiver. Each is walked up to the declaring class.
  • New regression test: inherited_members_run_in_their_defining_evaluation.

Full gap suite, 1034 tests on both arms, run in parallel on one host:

pass parity_fail
main (d65528b) 1013 21
this branch 1012 21

The 21 parity failures are identical on both arms. The one difference, test_gap_gc_symbol_local_rooting, was the harness's 10 s timeout under 16 parallel shards. Run on its own it passes 10/10 on both arms.

Suites (--test-threads=1), all 0 failed: hir 814, transform 164, runtime 4518, codegen 2215. class_capture_environment: 16/16.

Lint: cargo fmt is clean. run_lint_gates passes 99/101; the two failures are host-only (cargo xwin is missing, and public-baseline freshness also fails on main).

Merge queue: CI-green on its own, but it doesn't compile on current main: error[E0027]: pattern does not mention field env_class at crates/perry-hir/src/lower/class_capture_scope.rs:120, which arrived with #11315 today (class captures of a for-let head binding). rewrite_refresh rewrites an expired head capture to current_capture_slot(class_value, index). The owner needs to decide whether that rewrite is right when env_class.is_some(), where captures live in the class environment. Please rebase, resolve and push; the queue will verify and merge immediately (priority PR).

…nces

A class nested in a function captured its outer locals as hidden
__perry_cap_* fields stored on every instance by the constructor. tsc's AST
node classes carry ten of them ahead of pos/end/kind, so every node paid
80 bytes and the slot of each real field depended on its class's capture
count.

When a class definition is evaluated at most once (module top, an IIFE
body, a function declaration called exactly once - lower::run_once) its
environment is unique. Such classes now read captures from the class
environment (Expr::ClassEnvGet, one load of a module-state global per
slot, GC-rooted with the static-field globals) and write it through
Expr::ClassEnvSet: member and constructor writes, the constructor's
publish of its capture params at entry, the class evaluation
(RegisterClassCaptures, ClassExprFresh) and the refresh after a later
assignment. Instances declare no capture field. Statics share the same
environment, and an extracted method reads it whatever this is.

Every other capturing class keeps the per-instance snapshot, since each
of its evaluations has its own environment. PERRY_NO_CLASS_ENV=1 forces
that path; PERRY_CLASS_CAPTURE_DIAG=1 reports the choice per class.
Every member rebinds its class's whole capture union at entry. In the
class environment each rebind is a load, a rooted slot store and an
incremental-mark barrier check, so a member reading one of ten captures
paid for all ten on every call. Keep only the rebinds the rest of the
body (nested closures and their capture lists included) refers to.
…y method runs

Build every instance of the per-evaluation fixture before calling a
method, so one shared environment would answer the last evaluation for
all of them, and assert Object.keys/for-in/JSON/spread of a class-
environment instance list only its declared fields.
…e name callee

The proof rejected any IIFE whose body spelled the identifier callee
anywhere, including nested functions and ordinary locals. TypeScript's
bundle declares const callee in dozens of helpers, so every tsc class
fell back to instance captures. What lets a body re-invoke itself is its
own arguments object (arguments.callee), and nested non-arrow functions
bind their own; check exactly that.
…expressions

A capturing class expression inside a function body evaluates to a fresh
class object each time, so the run-once proof keeps it on instance
captures. That covers every class in a CommonJS module body: the runtime
can re-run a loaded module (module_require.rs re-require), so tsc's
NodeObject, SymbolObject, IdentifierObject, ... kept ten, nine, four
hidden keys per instance.

Such classes now use the class environment too, with a guard. The first
evaluation owns the slot globals; a state global stays 0.0 until a
second evaluation happens, and a member reads the slot after one compare
against it. After a second evaluation the runtime (object/class_env.rs)
resolves the member's evaluation - the method value's, else the
receiver's recorded brand - and reads that evaluation's own capture
array unless it is the owner. Dynamic construction already records the
brand; a static new through the class binding records it once the class
has several evaluations (Expr::ClassEnvStamp). An unrecorded instance
belongs to the first evaluation. Evaluation and refresh publish through
the runtime so only the owner reaches the slots.
…tration

gc/mod.rs gained one reg_scanner! line (scan_class_env_roots_mut). It
alters no mark/sweep control flow, so the PASS1_MARKED window audit
stands; record that and update the source pin. Also drop the test file's
now-unused run_both wrapper (-D dead-code).
After a guarded class's second evaluation, new <Self>() inside a member
built an instance with no recorded evaluation, which then read the first
evaluation's captures. Members that construct their own class now
resolve their evaluation once at entry (Expr::ClassEnvCurrent: a state
compare while the class has one evaluation, else the extracted method's
or receiver's evaluation) and stamp every such construction with it,
nested closures included.
…super and inherited statics

Three gap regressions on #11297 (10486, 9089, 11200):

- A constructor published its capture params into the class environment
  at entry, but super(...args) reaching an ancestor constructor through
  the runtime fills those params from the decl-site snapshot, which a
  class expression never registers. The base class environment was
  overwritten with undefined. The evaluation and its refreshes already
  publish the real values: a guarded class no longer publishes from its
  constructor, and an unguarded one never publishes undefined.
- A member resolved its evaluation from the method value or the receiver
  only. An inherited static runs in the evaluation it was FOUND on (the
  static private owner), and a subclass receiver or class ref must be
  walked up its heritage to the declaring template - exactly the
  candidates and walk js_class_capture_value_for_receiver uses
  (capture_owner_for_template). Extracted statics (A.get.call(B)) and
  B3 extends f("b") now read their own evaluation.
#11315's class_capture_scope destructured RefreshClassExprCaptures without
the env_class field this PR adds. A class-environment refresh can only close
over a loop-head binding as a guarded fresh class expression, whose every
evaluation still carries its own __perry_ctor_caps array; js_class_env_refresh
republishes that array into the environment slots only for the owner. So the
expired head keeps re-reading the evaluation's own array slot, in both modes.

Thanks. Rebasing onto current main now to resolve #11315's rewrite_refresh. For a class guarded by evaluation, the per-iteration refresh has to update that evaluation's class environment, not a template slot. A new for-let test will cover it, compared against node. New head to follow.

Rebased onto current main (new head dce6ca7bf7) and fixed the semantic conflict with #11315. The rebase applied cleanly, but the result didn't compile: class_capture_scope.rs destructured RefreshClassExprCaptures { class_value, captures } without the new env_class field.

Decision: an env-mode refresh keeps #11315's expired-head rewrite unchanged. The expired for (let …) head is still re-read from class_value.__perry_ctor_caps[index]. The fix is .. in the pattern plus a module-doc paragraph explaining why this is correct.

Why this is correct:

  • The only env-mode class that can close over a loop-head binding is a guarded fresh class expression. A class declaration in a loop body is Repeatable, so it keeps the per-instance snapshot. A RunOnce definition is never inside a loop, because run_once resets on every loop statement.
  • Every guarded evaluation still has its own __perry_ctor_caps, and that includes the owner. The refresh rebuilds that array. js_class_env_refresh then copies it into the environment slots only when class_value is the owner. Re-reading the head from the array therefore republishes the value this evaluation already holds: into the slots for the owner, and into the evaluation's own array for everyone else.
  • For the owner, the array and the slots can't disagree on a head binding. If a member writes it, it becomes a shared-mutable capture (the loop head writes it too). shared_mutable_capture boxes it, so the array and the slots hold the same box.

New gap test: test_gap_11297_env_class_for_let_capture.ts. It covers a write after the loop, a head that writes another capture (static read), a single-iteration class that is the env owner with a member write, member writes across several evaluations, a loop with no head update, and a forward const. Each function runs twice, so both the owner and the multi-evaluation state are tested. Output matches Node 26.5.1 under env mode (storage=env-guarded for all 6 classes) and under PERRY_NO_CLASS_ENV=1.

Sabotage check: if the rewrite is skipped for env_class: Some, the test goes red (the last class shows 3 instead of 2, and the owner shows 11:5 instead of 10:5). So the test really does exercise this path.

Local results:

  • fmt: clean.
  • lint gates (SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1): only "Public benchmark evidence freshness" fails.
  • -D warnings check on hir, codegen and runtime: clean.
  • perry --bin: 1203 passed.
  • runtime lib: 4543 passed.
  • Gap tests 10486, 9089, 11200, 11250 and 11297: all pass.
  • perry-hir: 2 failures, both in unimplemented_api_check (sqlite/sea/test strict mode). They fail the same way on clean origin/main, so they aren't caused by this PR.

Merge queue: merging (priority perf PR). Its CI at 6d273bf was green, including the 3 previously regressed gap tests. On current main it failed to compile against #11315 (the env_class field). The resolution (dce6ca7) keeps #11315's expired-head rewrite for env-mode refreshes, with the reasoning above and a Node-verified gap test (test_gap_11297_env_class_for_let_capture) that goes red when the rewrite is disabled. On the rebased tree: lint (only the grandfathered step fails), RUSTFLAGS=-D warnings on hir/codegen/runtime, perry (1203/0), perry-runtime (4543/0), and gap tests 10486/9089/11200/11250/11297 all pass. perry-hir's 2 unimplemented_api_check sweeps fail identically on clean main. The only commits on main since its base are the test-only #11339.
