fix: Error subclasses get .stack and [object Error]; a CommonJS entry keeps Node's ticks-first ordering (#9410, #9412) by proggeramlug · Pull Request #9432 · PerryTS/perry

#9410 — Error subclasses had no `.stack` and the wrong `toString` tag

One root cause behind both symptoms. class A extends Error {} deliberately produces an ordinary GC_TYPE_OBJECT instance rather than a GC_TYPE_ERROR ErrorHeader, so the subclass's own fields have somewhere to live. But alloc_error is the only site that fills ErrorHeader.stack, so it is never reached, and Error.prototype carries name/message but no stack to inherit. js_object_to_string's [object Error] branch keys on that same GC header byte, so a subclass fell through to "[object Object]".

The sibling that already knew the answer existed: extends_builtin_error(class_id) is consulted by instanceof Error, util.types.isNativeError, Error.prototype.toString's subclass arm and prototype-chain resolution. Neither the tag nor the stack asked it.

Fix: tag such an instance "Error" before the Symbol.toStringTag hook, so a subclass's own tag still wins (§20.1.3.6 consults the tag property last). A new js_error_subclass_capture_stack installs the own non-enumerable configurable stack accessor node installs — the frame captured at construction, the name: message head formatted on read, because constructor(m){ super(m); this.name="X" } assigns after super() returns and node reports "X: m". prepareStackTrace still wins; the setter redefines stack as a data property so err.stack = "" works. Called from the four sites that already stamped message/name and stopped there.

Fixture: 9 subclass shapes plus controls — 72 diverging lines on unfixed origin/main → 0. Plus a runtime unit test under forced evacuation.

Impact: 93 extends Error classes and 106 .stack uses in cc's bundle; claude doctor printed 120 bytes of stderr where node prints 14,573.

#9412 — `require()` of a builtin demoted `process.nextTick`

The deferral was right; it was applied to the wrong module kind. Measured: node 26 runs the same file as .cjs → ["nextTick","p1","await"], as .mjs → ["p1","await","nextTick"]. Entry codegen asked "is this ESM?" as imports || exports || TLA — and a bare require( makes cjs_wrap rewrite the entry to ESM, injecting import { createRequire } from 'node:module' and export default _cjs. Both halves became true for every CommonJS program. (require("path") itself contributes no import — it folds to a native-module ref.)

Fix: collectors::is_cjs_wrapped_module, keyed on the local name the wrap's synthetic import binds, gates only the js_mark_entry_module_esm call. is_esm_entry keeps its meaning for GlobalDeclarationInstantiation. Two template canaries in the #7139/#7152 family, including a negative control so a user's own import { createRequire } isn't mistaken for the wrap.

Fixtures: a .cts for the CommonJS side and a .ts pinning the ESM side — perry ["promise1","await1",…,"tick1"] vs node ["tick1","tick2",…] → 0 diverging lines both ways.

#9411 — private brand check: DOES NOT REPRODUCE

~25 shapes tried on origin/main (x86_64 Linux): the exact snippet; .ts/.js/.mjs/.cjs; CJS-wrapped entry; perry compile/bare/run; with and without the on-disk cache; duplicate class names in sibling scopes, blocks and IIFE wrappers; cross-module import; export default; conditional class expression; #method/getter/setter brands; static private fields; subclass instances; no-initializer and ctor-assigned fields; static arrow fields; map-callback/async/generator static methods; frozen/sealed receivers. All match node.

The fixture is landed anyway, because the static-method, static-block, #method and accessor shapes had zero coverage before — the two existing fixtures only test instance methods. Two code-level leads are on #9411 for whoever picks it up.

Found unasked — worth knowing

Does require() of a builtin demotes process.nextTick below promise microtasks #9412 move cc session transcripts are written incompletely: 1 line vs node's 5 (async queue-and-flush path, NOT the exit hooks) #9421 (cc's truncated transcripts)? No evidence either way. A minimal queue-and-flush probe writes 5/5 lines under both engines on the fixed build, so it does not reproduce cc session transcripts are written incompletely: 1 line vs node's 5 (async queue-and-flush path, NOT the exit hooks) #9421; the baseline wasn't measured. cc session transcripts are written incompletely: 1 line vs node's 5 (async queue-and-flush path, NOT the exit hooks) #9421 needs its own repro.
An Error subclass's name is an own enumerable property where node leaves it on the prototype: JSON.stringify(new (class extends Error{})("x")) → perry {"name":"Error"}, node {}. Pre-existing and unchanged here, but directly in the path of anything that serializes errors — worth checking against cc session transcripts are written incompletely: 1 line vs node's 5 (async queue-and-flush path, NOT the exit hooks) #9421. Deliberately not fixed: making it non-enumerable would break the far more common this.name = "X" case, where node does report ["name"]. The right fix is to stop stamping an own name at all.
#x in proxy is true in perry, false in node — same brand-check code as Private brand check #x in o returns false for real instances #9411, opposite direction, silent.
namespace NS { export class A {} } — NS.A is undefined at runtime while NS.k/NS.f() work. Class exports are dropped; node can't run namespaces in strip-only mode, so parity gives no signal.
Perry classifies the entry module by content, ignoring the nearest package.json "type" — pre-existing, orthogonal to require() of a builtin demotes process.nextTick below promise microtasks #9412, and the reason the CommonJS fixture had to be a .cts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Error subclasses now provide a usable .stack property and correctly identify as [object Error].
- Error stack traces reflect custom names and messages while preserving expected property behavior.
- CommonJS modules now maintain Node-compatible process.nextTick ordering relative to promise microtasks.
Tests
- Added coverage for Error subclass behavior, private-brand checks, and CommonJS/ES module task ordering.

…nd an [object Error] tag `class A extends Error {}` produced instances whose `.stack` was `undefined` and whose `Object.prototype.toString` tag was `[object Object]`. The base class was always fine, so only subclasses were affected — and the claude-code bundle has 93 of them and 106 `.stack` reads, which is why `claude doctor` prints ` - at <anonymous>` (120 bytes) under perry where node prints ~10 real frames (14,573 bytes). No error, just a missing trace. One root cause behind both symptoms: an Error subclass instance is deliberately an ordinary GC_TYPE_OBJECT class instance rather than a GC_TYPE_ERROR ErrorHeader (so the subclass's own fields have somewhere to live). `alloc_error` — the only site that fills `ErrorHeader.stack` — is therefore never reached, `Error.prototype` carries no `stack` to inherit, and `js_object_to_string`'s `[object Error]` branch keys on the same GC header byte. The registry that answers "does this class_id extend a builtin Error?" already existed and was already consulted by `instanceof Error`, `util.types.isNativeError`, `Error.prototype.toString`'s subclass arm and prototype-chain resolution. Neither the tag nor the stack asked it. - to_string_tag.rs: tag an `extends_builtin_error` instance "Error", set before the `Symbol.toStringTag` hook so a subclass's own tag still wins (§20.1.3.6 consults the tag property last). - error.rs: `js_error_subclass_capture_stack` installs the own, non-enumerable, configurable `stack` accessor node installs. The FRAME is captured at the construction site; the `name: message` head is formatted on read, because `constructor(m) { super(m); this.name = "X" }` assigns after `super()` returns and node reports the assigned name. `prepareStackTrace` still wins; the setter redefines `stack` as a data property so `err.stack = ""` keeps working. - class_constructors.rs, this_super_call.rs, new.rs: call it from the four sites that already stamped `message`/`name` and stopped there. In the dynamic-`new` replay it moves above the message guard, which returns early for `new X()` with no argument — exactly the instances that would otherwise still have no trace. test-files/test_gap_9410_error_subclass_stack.ts byte-matches node across nine subclass shapes plus controls. Demonstrated failing on a compiler built from unfixed origin/main.

…t ordering require("path"); // delete this line and perry matched node const o = []; process.nextTick(() => o.push("nextTick")); Promise.resolve().then(() => o.push("p1")); (async () => { await null; o.push("await"); })(); setTimeout(() => console.log(JSON.stringify(o)), 20); // node: ["nextTick","p1","await"] // perry: ["p1","await","nextTick"] (5/5 deterministic) The deferral itself is right, and measurement says so: node 26 runs the same file as .cjs -> ["nextTick","p1","await"], as .mjs -> ["p1","await","nextTick"]. An ES module evaluates inside its module job's promise chain, so its first tick drain lands after the promise queue — which is what `js_mark_entry_module_esm` (PerryTS#788) models. It was being applied to the wrong module kind. Entry codegen asked "is this an ES module?" as `imports or exports or top-level await`. A bare `require(` with no top-level `import` classifies the entry as CommonJS, and `cjs_wrap` then rewrites it to ESM — injecting `import { createRequire as __perry_cjs_create_require } from 'node:module'` and `export default _cjs`. Both halves became true for every CommonJS program. The `require("path")` itself contributes no import; it folds to a native-module reference. Every real bundle requires a builtin and every minimal fixture doesn't, so the ordering was right in exactly the programs a test suite contains. - collectors/cjs_scaffolding.rs: `is_cjs_wrapped_module`, keyed on the local name the wrap's synthetic `createRequire` import binds — recognised from the HIR, so a template change degrades to "not wrapped" rather than to a wrong answer, and a user's own `import { createRequire } from 'node:module'` is not mistaken for it (the match is on the alias, not the specifier). - codegen/entry.rs: gate only the `js_mark_entry_module_esm` call on it. The `is_esm_entry` below keeps its meaning for GlobalDeclarationInstantiation — a CommonJS module's top-level functions are not global-object properties either — and that predicate is mirrored in perry-hir's `lower_module_fn`, which runs before the wrap flag is knowable here. - cjs_wrap/preamble_canary_tests.rs: a template canary in the PerryTS#7139/PerryTS#7152 family, plus a negative control so the fix cannot drift the other way. test-parity/node-suite/globals/process-next-tick-require-order.ts byte-matches node as a .cts CommonJS copy (the runner's existing retry); test-files/test_gap_9412_entry_tick_order.ts pins the ESM side so the fix cannot become "stop deferring, always". Both demonstrated failing / passing as appropriate on a compiler built from unfixed origin/main.

…ck and arrow PerryTS#9411 reports `class A { #x = 1; static has(o) { return #x in o } }` answering `false` for `A.has(new A())`. It does not reproduce on origin/main (367f9aa, x86_64 Linux) in any of ~25 shapes: the exact snippet, .ts/.js/ .mjs/.cjs, a CJS-wrapped entry, `perry compile` / bare `perry` / `perry run`, with and without the on-disk cache, duplicate class names in sibling scopes / blocks / IIFE module wrappers, a cross-module import, `export default`, a namespace, a conditional class expression, private methods/getters/setters, static private fields, subclass instances, a field with no initializer, a field assigned only in the constructor, a static arrow field, a map callback / async / generator static method, and a frozen, sealed or bulk-allocated receiver. See the issue for the full matrix. What the existing fixtures did NOT cover is the shape the issue names — the brand check evaluated from a STATIC method — so this adds it. Both test_private_name_brand_check.ts and test_issue_5893_private_brand_freshness.ts only exercise `#x in o` from an instance method (or a static field's brand from a static method), and neither covers `#method` / accessor brands from a static method, a static block, a subclass instance, or a superclass brand seen through a subclass instance. Byte-matches node 26 today; it is coverage, not a regression test for a fix. The two asymmetries between the brand check and the private-field READ that would produce exactly the reported `false` are noted on the issue: `js_private_brand_check` returns false for `declaring_class_id == 0` where `js_private_guard` is permissive, and a `Some(false)` evaluation-brand verdict short-circuits the per-field marker fallback.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR fixes .stack and [object Error] behavior for Error subclasses, preserves CommonJS process.nextTick ordering after builtin require(), and adds regression coverage for private-brand checks.

Changes

Error subclass stack behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stack accessor runtime `crates/perry-runtime/src/error_subclass_stack.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/error.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/objects.rs`	The runtime installs a rooted, own, non-enumerable, configurable `stack` accessor. The getter formats the current name and message. The setter creates a data property.
Error constructor wiring `crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/*`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/this_super_call.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_constructors.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/object/to_string_tag.rs`	Error subclass construction captures the stack after Error fields are initialized. Error subclasses receive the `"Error"` object tag.
Error regression coverage `test-files/test_gap_9410_error_subclass_stack.ts`, `changelog.d/9410-error-subclass-stack.md`	The fixture covers subclass shapes, stack properties, tags, inheritance, thrown errors, and non-Error controls. The changelog records the fix and runtime validation.

CommonJS entry tick ordering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CommonJS module detection `crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/cjs_scaffolding.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/mod.rs`, `crates/perry-codegen/src/lib.rs`	Codegen identifies wrapped CommonJS modules by their synthetic `createRequire` binding and exposes the predicate through public canary functions.
Entry checkpoint classification `crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/entry.rs`	The ESM evaluation checkpoint is skipped for CommonJS-wrapped entries.
Tick ordering validation `crates/perry/src/commands/compile/cjs_wrap/preamble_canary_tests.rs`, `test-files/test_gap_9412_*`, `changelog.d/9412-cjs-entry-next-tick-order.md`	Canaries validate module detection. Fixtures compare CommonJS and ESM tick, promise, await, and microtask ordering.

Private brand regression coverage

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Private brand checks `test-files/test_gap_9411_private_brand_in.ts`	The fixture covers private members, static checks, inheritance, negative cases, and separate class evaluations.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4e342

The PR fixes Error subclass stack behavior and CommonJS tick ordering, but current Error construction and stack reads can reuse references after garbage collection relocates them, potentially causing invalid writes or process crashes; the CommonJS detection can also mistake a user import for generated wrapper code. These unresolved runtime and integration risks make the PR unsafe to merge until the references are rooted and the import detection is provenance-safe.

Use provenance, not the synthetic local name alone. HIR normalizes node:module to module and preserves imported and local, so a user import can still use createRequire as __perry_cjs_create_require. Matching source and imported name alone does not prevent the collision. Add a synthetic marker or reserve the local before HIR lowering, exclude type_only and runtime_erased imports, and add a regression test.

Reload the receiver before each later Error-property write.

js_object_set_field_by_name_nonenum and js_object_set_field_by_name can collect. Both paths derive this_handle before those calls, then reuse it for a later name or cause write. The reload added for stack occurs too late. A moving collection can make the raw handle stale and cause a write through from-space memory.

Root the receiver, key, and field value across allocations.

js_string_from_bytes at Line 27 can collect before Line 28 uses the raw obj pointer. js_jsvalue_to_string at Line 32 can collect while v holds a pointer-bearing JSValue. An evacuation can make these raw values stale, so reading .stack can crash or read invalid data.

Create handles in error_object_field_string, then reload the receiver and values from those handles after each operation that can collect.

Keep the subclass instance rooted through initialization.

At Line 1061, js_error_subclass_capture_stack can evacuate inst, but the function later writes message through the old raw pointer. At Line 1128, earlier message conversion and property writes can already have evacuated the object represented by this_val. These paths can skip stack installation or dereference stale instance pointers.

Create a RuntimeHandleScope at each function entry. Root the instance as a NaN-boxed value. Reload inst from that handle after every call that can collect, including before the stack capture and later property writes.

…g (from #9432) (#9443) * fix(runtime,codegen): #9410 — an Error subclass has a .stack and an [object Error] tag `class A extends Error {}` produced instances whose `.stack` was `undefined` and whose `Object.prototype.toString` tag was `[object Object]`. The base class was always fine, so only subclasses were affected — and the claude-code bundle has 93 of them and 106 `.stack` reads, which is why `claude doctor` prints ` - at <anonymous>` (120 bytes) under perry where node prints ~10 real frames (14,573 bytes). No error, just a missing trace. One root cause behind both symptoms: an Error subclass instance is deliberately an ordinary GC_TYPE_OBJECT class instance rather than a GC_TYPE_ERROR ErrorHeader (so the subclass's own fields have somewhere to live). `alloc_error` — the only site that fills `ErrorHeader.stack` — is therefore never reached, `Error.prototype` carries no `stack` to inherit, and `js_object_to_string`'s `[object Error]` branch keys on the same GC header byte. The registry that answers "does this class_id extend a builtin Error?" already existed and was already consulted by `instanceof Error`, `util.types.isNativeError`, `Error.prototype.toString`'s subclass arm and prototype-chain resolution. Neither the tag nor the stack asked it. - to_string_tag.rs: tag an `extends_builtin_error` instance "Error", set before the `Symbol.toStringTag` hook so a subclass's own tag still wins (§20.1.3.6 consults the tag property last). - error.rs: `js_error_subclass_capture_stack` installs the own, non-enumerable, configurable `stack` accessor node installs. The FRAME is captured at the construction site; the `name: message` head is formatted on read, because `constructor(m) { super(m); this.name = "X" }` assigns after `super()` returns and node reports the assigned name. `prepareStackTrace` still wins; the setter redefines `stack` as a data property so `err.stack = ""` keeps working. - class_constructors.rs, this_super_call.rs, new.rs: call it from the four sites that already stamped `message`/`name` and stopped there. In the dynamic-`new` replay it moves above the message guard, which returns early for `new X()` with no argument — exactly the instances that would otherwise still have no trace. test-files/test_gap_9410_error_subclass_stack.ts byte-matches node across nine subclass shapes plus controls. Demonstrated failing on a compiler built from unfixed origin/main. * fix(codegen): #9412 — a CommonJS entry keeps Node's ticks-first ordering require("path"); // delete this line and perry matched node const o = []; process.nextTick(() => o.push("nextTick")); Promise.resolve().then(() => o.push("p1")); (async () => { await null; o.push("await"); })(); setTimeout(() => console.log(JSON.stringify(o)), 20); // node: ["nextTick","p1","await"] // perry: ["p1","await","nextTick"] (5/5 deterministic) The deferral itself is right, and measurement says so: node 26 runs the same file as .cjs -> ["nextTick","p1","await"], as .mjs -> ["p1","await","nextTick"]. An ES module evaluates inside its module job's promise chain, so its first tick drain lands after the promise queue — which is what `js_mark_entry_module_esm` (#788) models. It was being applied to the wrong module kind. Entry codegen asked "is this an ES module?" as `imports or exports or top-level await`. A bare `require(` with no top-level `import` classifies the entry as CommonJS, and `cjs_wrap` then rewrites it to ESM — injecting `import { createRequire as __perry_cjs_create_require } from 'node:module'` and `export default _cjs`. Both halves became true for every CommonJS program. The `require("path")` itself contributes no import; it folds to a native-module reference. Every real bundle requires a builtin and every minimal fixture doesn't, so the ordering was right in exactly the programs a test suite contains. - collectors/cjs_scaffolding.rs: `is_cjs_wrapped_module`, keyed on the local name the wrap's synthetic `createRequire` import binds — recognised from the HIR, so a template change degrades to "not wrapped" rather than to a wrong answer, and a user's own `import { createRequire } from 'node:module'` is not mistaken for it (the match is on the alias, not the specifier). - codegen/entry.rs: gate only the `js_mark_entry_module_esm` call on it. The `is_esm_entry` below keeps its meaning for GlobalDeclarationInstantiation — a CommonJS module's top-level functions are not global-object properties either — and that predicate is mirrored in perry-hir's `lower_module_fn`, which runs before the wrap flag is knowable here. - cjs_wrap/preamble_canary_tests.rs: a template canary in the #7139/#7152 family, plus a negative control so the fix cannot drift the other way. test-parity/node-suite/globals/process-next-tick-require-order.ts byte-matches node as a .cts CommonJS copy (the runner's existing retry); test-files/test_gap_9412_entry_tick_order.ts pins the ESM side so the fix cannot become "stop deferring, always". Both demonstrated failing / passing as appropriate on a compiler built from unfixed origin/main. * test: #9411 — cover `#x in o` from a static method, static block and arrow #9411 reports `class A { #x = 1; static has(o) { return #x in o } }` answering `false` for `A.has(new A())`. It does not reproduce on origin/main (367f9aa, x86_64 Linux) in any of ~25 shapes: the exact snippet, .ts/.js/ .mjs/.cjs, a CJS-wrapped entry, `perry compile` / bare `perry` / `perry run`, with and without the on-disk cache, duplicate class names in sibling scopes / blocks / IIFE module wrappers, a cross-module import, `export default`, a namespace, a conditional class expression, private methods/getters/setters, static private fields, subclass instances, a field with no initializer, a field assigned only in the constructor, a static arrow field, a map callback / async / generator static method, and a frozen, sealed or bulk-allocated receiver. See the issue for the full matrix. What the existing fixtures did NOT cover is the shape the issue names — the brand check evaluated from a STATIC method — so this adds it. Both test_private_name_brand_check.ts and test_issue_5893_private_brand_freshness.ts only exercise `#x in o` from an instance method (or a static field's brand from a static method), and neither covers `#method` / accessor brands from a static method, a static block, a subclass instance, or a superclass brand seen through a subclass instance. Byte-matches node 26 today; it is coverage, not a regression test for a fix. The two asymmetries between the brand check and the private-field READ that would produce exactly the reported `false` are noted on the issue: `js_private_brand_check` returns false for `declaring_class_id == 0` where `js_private_guard` is permissive, and a `Some(false)` evaluation-brand verdict short-circuits the per-field marker fallback. * fix(runtime): route error-subclass stack handles through the rooting combinators Each site classified by whether its callee can collect: js_object_set_field_by_name_nonenum and ensure_key_in_keys_array can allocate or run JS, so they use across_*; own_key_present and js_closure_set_capture_bits cannot, so with_const_ptr. Also pairs every is_valid_obj_ptr with is_above_handle_band (#9219). --------- Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com>

All three commits are on main now via #9443.

That PR's description said it landed the #9410 Error-subclass commit specifically, but the branch it was built from carried all three, so #9412 (CommonJS ticks-first ordering) and #9411 (private-brand in tests) came with it. I verified rather than assumed: error_subclass_stack.rs is on main, both #9412 fixtures are on main, and the codegen changes are present in perry-codegen/src/lib.rs and preamble_canary_tests.rs.

The #9410 commit needed the raw-handle work described on #9443 — each site's callee classified by whether it can collect, then across_* or with_const_ptr accordingly.
