fix: eliminate double prototype walk on absent property reads - #11383
Conversation
…10877) The object-getter tail read the receiver's prototype twice on an own-key miss, and each read re-enters the tail one level up, so an absent read cost 2^depth generic-getter entries. - Object.create chains: inherited_field_if_overridden walked the recorded chain and missed, then the tail's closing resolve_inherited_field walked it again. It now returns InheritedRead::Missed and the tail skips its walk. - F.prototype = new G() chains: F.prototype was read through F's synthetic class id and again through the instance's per-object link. The class-id walk now reports a prototype it fully read that answered exactly undefined; the tail skips the per-object walk when that is the receiver's recorded prototype (null answers still fall through). An inherited getter returning undefined also ran 2^depth times per read; it now runs once, as in node.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Keep the prototype identity stable across the getter call.
If a getter causes GC to move proto_obj, class_prototype_object(cid) returns its new address, but this comparison uses the old address. The comparison then leaves read_miss unset. Both object-getter tail paths can read the prototype again, repeating the getter and restoring the deep-chain performance problem. Root proto_obj before js_object_get_field_by_name, then compare its updated address after the call. The runtime documents that getter execution can move active prototype owners.

Summary
Fix an exponential performance regression where absent property reads on prototype chains cost
2^depthgeneric-getter entries. The object-getter tail was walking the receiver's prototype twice on an own-key miss, and each walk re-entered the tail one level up, doubling work per hop.Changes
prototype_override.rs: Splitinherited_field_if_overridden's return type intoInheritedReadenum (Hit,Missed,NotWalked) to distinguish whether the recorded prototype chain was already walked. AMissedanswer means the chain was fully read and cannot find anything a second walk would not.get_field_by_name_tail.rs(keyless and shaped-receiver arms): Afterinherited_field_if_overriddenreturnsMissed, skip the closingresolve_inherited_fieldcall — it would repeat the same walk from the same receiver.prototype_objects.rs: Addresolve_proto_chain_field_noting_missto report a prototype object that was read in full and answered exactlyundefined. This addresses constructor-function chains (F.prototype = new G()), where anew F()instance reachesF.prototypetwice: through F's synthetic class id and through its recorded per-object link. The tail now skips the per-object walk when it is the same object.class_registry.rs: Export the newresolve_proto_chain_field_noting_missfunction.Test coverage: Added
