What

The inherited-read cache (object/inherited_read_cache.rs) only ever served receivers whose [[Prototype]] was recorded or whose class id was synthetic (Object.create / function constructors). Object literals and other plain objects never got an entry. Their walk hit the decl.is_null() refusal unarmed on every read, so each absent read, and each read resolved on Object.prototype, re-ran the full generic walk. That walk is ~7–11k instructions: get_field_by_name_object_tail → ordinary_object_prototype_property_value → a recursive by-name get on Object.prototype. lru-cache's set(k, v, opts = {}) destructure, moment's isValid and dayjs's $u/$offset all hit this shape.

1. Default %Object.prototype% link. A receiver or hop with no class of its own (class id 0 or an anonymous literal shape's id) takes the default link to %Object.prototype%. It must also not be born null-proto, not be registered in either prototype table, and not have its id collide with a declared class (checked via class_name_for_id; see declared_class_outranks_anon_shape). Object.prototype becomes a marked hop like any other, so a key added to it bumps the validity word.
2. Confirmed ABSENT entries. The walk now ends at Object.prototype and records an ABSENT_SLOT entry (hit = undefined, no load). The sentinel sits next to NEGATIVE_SLOT, per the rule stated there.
3. Confirm, then commit. Every entry reached through the default link, and every constructor read, is written PENDING (validity = 0, which never matches, but is still scanned and rewritten by the collector). It commits only if the generic getter answers the same bits and proto_validity() did not move during that call. Otherwise it becomes a NEGATIVE entry, or is dropped. The key-list walk therefore never has to reproduce what the 1,900-line generic tail synthesizes (constructor, __proto__, lazily resolved builtins); a disagreement just keeps that pair generic. Accessors reached through the default link are not cached (their getter would run during the prime).
4. Hook D: by-name reads prime too. js_object_get_field_by_name (the O[k] / for…in + obj[key] path) primes after its data probe misses. It first proves the key is not in the receiver's key list at all. A per-thread filter of 256 u32 fingerprints, with a sighting count, primes only on a pair's 2nd/3rd miss and then gives up. A key minted fresh per read therefore never pays the walk-plus-confirm cost, and a pair that can never prime pays one compare. (Without the cap, cron/next_dates was +11.5%.) Recursive reads made by the generic walk itself (accessor receiver armed) are skipped.
5. MAX_HOPS 4 → 10. Object.prototype is now a hop, and A property miss is GEOMETRIC in prototype-chain depth (x2.1/level): 536,047 instructions for one absent read on an 8-deep chain #10877's 8-deep miss needs 9 hops. The hit never reads hops. The per-thread table grows from 80 to 128 bytes per entry (64 KB total; since perf(runtime): per-thread IC/plan caches are written in full at init (~1.9 MiB); allocate zeroed and/or lazily #11507 it is zero-allocated). an_entry_is_the_size_the_docs_state pins the size.
6. Key conversion (perf: a dynamic string-keyed property read is 5.5x node when the key is present and 23x when absent, while static reads and array indexing both beat node #10753/perf: property access is 13x-112x node warm — two static reads cost 162 instructions against node's 12, and a const-key read costs 7.6x the same read spelled statically #10761 bucket). closure_get_dynamic_prop's two Function.prototype fallback reads used a fresh js_string_from_bytes key on every call. They now use the thread's canonical interned header (string::canonical_key, as perf(runtime): memoize %Function.prototype% per realm in the dispatcher's own-override check (#10497) #11491 did for the dispatcher). That means no allocation per read and a stable key the cache can hit. It is the whole of the fn.isBuffer / o.constructor.isBuffer win.
7. array::object_prototype_addr_if_resolved() peeks the per-realm memo without bootstrapping it. The walk runs under js_object_get_field_by_name, which the globalThis bootstrap calls, so the bootstrapping accessor recursed until the stack overflowed (caught in development).
8. is_anon_shape_class_id answers through a RwLock + SipHash once its fast mirror overflows. A per-thread memo of u32 "not anon" class ids keeps declared-class declines cheap. Anon-ness is insert-only per id (js_register_anon_shape_class_id).

Invalidation is unchanged in kind: the validity word (key add/delete/redefine on any marked hop, setPrototypeOf, descriptor events), the receiver's (class id, ShapeId), and its recorded prototype bits. All caches are per thread (per realm), and the two new tables hold integers only (verdicts added to scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json).

Not in scope, and why: declared-class instances whose D.prototype was written through the class-method table (D.prototype.DB = 26 lands in class_prototype_method_root_store, not in an object), and string receivers (s.constructor.name). Both keep today's path. Caching them needs invalidation on that table, and those rows are the small residuals below.

Overlap with the property-IC campaign

None in files. #11489 (method site) touches proto_validity.rs / slot_store.rs / put_value.rs, and #11474 touches has_property.rs; this PR touches neither. The emitted never-primed edge already calls js_inherited_read_cache_hit_f64, so ABSENT entries are served from compiled code with no codegen change. That call remains a GC leaf: an ABSENT hit allocates nothing and runs nothing. Rebased onto 7d25b2bb5; the one conflict was main's function_prototype_inherited_get refactor, onto which the canonical_key line was re-applied.

Instruction counts (qb2, Linux x86-64 EPYC 9254, perf stat -e instructions:u)

Both arms were built with cargo build --release -p perry -p perry-runtime-static -p perry-stdlib-static and compiled with PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1, with PERRY_RUNTIME_DIR set per arm. Base = c1d93bb72 (main incl. #11491). Branch = this change on the same base (the logic of the rebased head is identical; spot checks after rebase are below). Per-iteration = (I(n2) − I(n1)) / (n2 − n1), median of 3. Every row's output matched Node 26.5.1 (/opt/node-v26.5.1-linux-x64).

qs/parse_nested is excluded, and that is not this PR. Its plain output is timing-dependent on main: a stale from-space array pointer in js_dyn_index_set_strict, filed as #11550. Under PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1 + seeds, it faults on main at 5 of 6 seeds. With this branch's allocation timing, it prints a wrong checksum in 9 of 12 plain runs (also with PERRY_INHERITED_IC=0 and with the canonical_key change reverted). So the output of any qs A/B is untrustworthy until #11550 lands.

control/bare_loop +0.4 MB (27.5 → 27.9), lru-cache/churn +0.4 MB (63.2 → 63.6), validator/batch +2.4 MB (88.7 → 91.1), moment/diff_duration +3.1 MB (70.5 → 73.6). Part of this is the table: 64 KB per thread vs 40 KB, and entries keep their keys and hops alive (bounded by 512 entries). The rest I did not attribute; the GC schedule differs between arms because the branch allocates less on the walk.

Correctness

• New gap test test_gap_10495_inherited_absent_cache.ts, 13 cases. Each is a hot read loop with a mid-loop mutation the cached answer depends on:

  • Object.prototype key add and delete; a getter defined on Object.prototype (call counts checked);
  • an own add/delete over an absent key; setPrototypeOf on a literal;
  • an 8-level Object.create chain (far-end add, middle shadow, delete);
  • computed keys; constructor on literal / class / Object.create / null-proto receivers;
  • Object.prototype method replacement; Function.prototype add/delete with function receivers;
  • null-proto receivers; class getters returning undefined (every call counted);
  • lru's options-bag destructure; JSON-parsed rows.

  Byte-identical to Node 26.5.1 on base and branch (and on the rebased head). It is a regression guard, not a fix-proof: every case already passes on main, because this is a performance change. One further case (a literal's constructor after Object.prototype.constructor = X) was removed. Main already diverges from Node there (it keeps answering Object), and a cached read on the branch happens to answer correctly only while the entry lives, which would make the test depend on eviction.

• Gap A/B: 284 existing gap/parity tests matching property / prototype / getter / setter / hasOwn / in / delete / inherit / accessor / constructor / create / descriptor / function / cache / chain, each compiled with both arms and compared with Node 26.5.1:

  • 280 pass on both;
  • 2 fail on both (test_gap_json_lazy_defineproperty_index, test_gap_2159_defineproperty_class_prototype);
  • 2 fail to compile on both (test_gap_3527_http_ctor_prototype, test_gap_net_socket_get_prototype_of);
  • 7 cannot run under Node (TS-only syntax or packages absent from test-files); 6 of those give identical output on the two arms, and test_gap_dayjs_factory_arg compiles on neither;
  • 0 regressions.

• Seeded GC stress, branch binaries, with PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED={1,7,42} PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=0.5 PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_ALLOC_KB=0 PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1 PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE_DEPTH=64. Output equal to Node on every run:

  • the new gap test: 211–233 copying minors, ~12.3k moved objects;
  • lru-cache/churn and ttl_mixed: ~13k minors;
  • moment/diff_duration: ~48k minors;
  • dayjs/diff_startof: ~21.7k minors;
  • perf: reads that resolve on the prototype chain (absent keys, inherited data) are 590–2,100× slower than Node (read IC caches own properties only) #10495 literal_absent3 / lru_get_opts and perf: missing-property reads on functions are ~2,600× and Object.hasOwn/getPrototypeOf 40–90× slower than Node (Function.prototype re-resolved by name per call) #10497 fn_missing_prop / axios_isBuffer / getProto_eq: ~12k minors each.

  Every run printed its [gc-fromspace-protect] retired_set=#N lines.

• Unit tests: RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --lib: 4647 passed, 1 failed. The failure is turnloop_net::tests::an_unresolvable_hostname_reports_enotfound_on_getaddrinfo: qb2's systemd-resolved returns an empty success for a bogus name. That module is untouched, and I did not re-run it on base. The inherited-read-cache module is 41/41 on the rebased head (re-run on perrymaster after qb2 went away; qb2 was the A/B host). It has 6 new tests:

  • a confirmed ABSENT entry, and the emitted leaf serving it;
  • an Object.prototype key add retiring it;
  • prime and hit equal to the generic getter for toString / hasOwnProperty / valueOf / isPrototypeOf / constructor / __proto__ / an absent key;
  • by-name priming on the second miss;
  • a fresh key per read never priming;
  • the entry size.

  Existing tests that asserted exact prime counts now reset the counters after setup (setup's own constructor / builtin reads legitimately prime through hook D). PrimeScope materializes the realm first, so bootstrap reads don't land in whichever test runs first. The two "refusal is remembered" tests now use a null-terminated chain, because a key on no prototype of an Object.prototype-terminated chain is now a confirmed ABSENT entry, not a refusal.

• cargo fmt --check, cargo check -p perry-runtime --all-targets (no warnings), scripts/check_file_size.sh, scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.py: OK.

• SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: 98 of 100 script gates passed on the rebased head (perrymaster), compile tier not run. The failures are cargo xwin (not installed on the host) and "Public benchmark evidence freshness" (red on main).

Not run: the full gap sweep; auto-optimize builds (both arms used PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1); the server-backed workloads (axios, pg, mysql2, mongodb, redis, ioredis, fastify); macOS and Windows builds; the compile tier of the lint gates; a full package re-measure after the rebase (only the gap test, 41 module tests and 8 micro rows were re-run on the rebased build).

No version bump.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The inherited-read cache now supports confirmed absent-property entries and prototype walks of up to 10 hops. The runtime adds pending-entry confirmation through the generic getter, bounded by-name priming, and regression coverage for prototype and receiver mutations.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Prototype walking and entry confirmation crates/perry-runtime/src/array/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/inherited_read_cache.rs	The cache supports walks of up to 10 hops and eligible default Object.prototype links. It adds confirmed absent entries and pending entries that are checked against the generic getter before being committed or discarded.

By-name priming uses a bounded filter, and closure inherited-property lookups use canonical keys.
Cache validation and regression coverage crates/perry-runtime/src/object/inherited_read_cache_tests.rs, test-files/test_gap_10495_inherited_absent_cache.ts, changelog.d/11594-inherited-read-absent-cache.md	Runtime tests cover absent-entry caching, invalidation, getter results, and by-name priming. The TypeScript test exercises reads while properties and prototypes change. The changelog records benchmark results and other cache details.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8fe46

Dynamic property lookups can retain user-generated keys longer than before. Restore ordinary allocation for those lookups; the bounded memory impact does not otherwise block merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8fe46

Dynamic property reads can now keep caller-derived names alive in a per-thread cache after the read finishes. That creates a bounded but potentially significant memory-retention risk for long-running workloads. The inherited-read changes include confirmation and invalidation controls, and no separate broken lookup transition was established.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Closure and Function.prototype reads now intern caller-derived property names, allowing distinct or large names to remain rooted after a read and increasing memory-exhaustion exposure in long-running runtime threads.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The identified retention is contained to the intern table of each affected runtime thread, not an established cross-service store; each table has 8,192 direct-mapped slots, while admitted key length is not limited by the intern dispatcher’s separate 64-byte eligibility constant.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A workload that repeatedly reads missing, distinct caller-derived names from functions can populate rooted intern slots. Unlike the prior temporary keys at these sites, those keys remain live until their slots are replaced or the thread ends, increasing memory pressure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Function.prototype fallback still rejects reserved and dedicated method names and checks accessors before constructing the canonical data-lookup key. These controls limit lookup routing but do not restrict other caller-derived names entering the intern table.
• observed — For default-link cache entries, the generic getter remains authoritative during priming; disagreement or a validity change prevents the pending entry from becoming a serveable hit.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Direct-mapped eviction limits persistent key count, but it is not a lifetime or byte-budget control for the keys occupying those slots.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Keep caller-derived closure lookup names on the ordinary allocation path, or impose an explicit eligibility and retained-byte budget before interning them.

Ready to merge once CI is clean, pending one owner call on RSS. Plain objects now use the inherited-read cache (absent keys cached; entries confirmed before commit; by-name reads prime it after a second miss; depth up to 10). Instructions: lru-cache −35/−42%, moment −29/−51%, dayjs −21/−26%, validator −24%, jwt hs256 −22%, date-fns −18%, #10877 8-hop miss 60.8k → 323. Stated costs: +1–2.3% on declared-class instances and +1.4% on string receivers (they keep today's path), and peak RSS +0.4–3.1 MB on the measured workloads (the per-thread cache is 64 KB, up from 40 KB, and entries keep their keys alive). The 284-test gap A/B shows 0 regressions, and seeded GC stress is clean on 30 runs. It is Part of #10495/#10497/#10753/#10877.

Use ordinary allocation for dynamic property names.

prop can come from caller-provided property bytes, not only runtime literals. canonical_key interns every miss and roots the current table entries. This can retain user-generated keys and pollute the per-thread intern table. Use the previous allocation path in both inherited lookup branches.

Suggested fix

-            let key_hdr = crate::string::canonical_key(prop.as_bytes());
+            let key_hdr = crate::string::js_string_from_bytes(prop.as_ptr(), prop.len() as u32);
...
-    let key_hdr = crate::string::canonical_key(prop.as_bytes());
+    let key_hdr = crate::string::js_string_from_bytes(prop.as_ptr(), prop.len() as u32);

lines 482 - 486:
In both inherited lookup branches in the dynamic property read path, replace
`canonical_key` with ordinary allocation via the existing `js_string_from_bytes`
path using `prop`’s bytes and length. Avoid interning caller-provided property
names; leave other key handling unchanged.
