Merged

Capture the native return addresses on every `new Error` via a frame-pointer chain walk, and resolve them to JS function names on the first `.stack` read against the registry codegen already fills for `fn.name`. `alloc_error` no longer builds the string eagerly. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…LOC cap (PerryTS#9486) Register the display name against the `perry_fn_*` body symbol and against `perry_method_*`, since a direct call targets the body rather than the closure-value wrapper. Move the capture/format helpers into error_stack_frames.rs (error.rs was 2043 lines, cap is 2000). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…rrowing a neighbour's name (PerryTS#9486) Also dedupe the display-name rodata constants by content: the same name is now registered against several symbols and add_string_constant minted a fresh global per call. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…e-pointer flag Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…built headers (PerryTS#9486) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…h the accessor (PerryTS#9486) The unhandled-rejection reporter read the field directly, so with the lazy materialisation it printed nothing — the frameless report this issue is about. Caught by the four native_async unit tests, which read it the same way. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp
…fines (PerryTS#9486) method_names is a dispatch registry, not an emission record. Registering a key it carries but the module never emits a body for makes module init reference an undefined global: the claude-code bundle failed to compile with 'reference to unknown global @perry_method_...__UT7____get_get_extensionName' — one getter out of ~46k functions. Every PerryTS#9486 registration now goes through LlModule::has_function. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014knX724SYDogwzsXybCGxp

395-411: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueConsider a stronger staleness key and an incremental index.
The index treats entry COUNT as the version.
register_function_name_if_absentcan replace an entry whose stored bytes do not decode with a valid name, and the count stays the same. The index then keeps the undecodable bytes, so that frame stays unnamed until some other registration changes the count.The rebuild also clones and sorts the whole registry. For the bundle size this file documents (72,713 entries), every count change makes the next
.stackread pay one full clone plus one O(n log n) sort. A program that registers names late and reads.stackin a loop repeats that work per read.A monotonic registration counter bumped on every insert AND every replace would close the staleness gap. Appending and re-sorting only the new tail, or merging into the existing sorted vector, would remove the repeated full sort.

- Line 46: Update the changelog sentence describing resolved stack frames to
document the shipped format, including the “(<anonymous>)” suffix after the
frame name, and keep the entry as one coherent description of final behavior.
In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/error.rs`:
- Around line 300-301: Update format_error_stack_frame and the perry-ext-mysql2
and perry-ext-sharp test reads to obtain stack data through js_error_get_stack
instead of dereferencing the stack field directly, preserving lazy stack
materialization and avoiding null reads.
In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/exception.rs`:
- Around line 699-703: In the error formatting flow around js_error_get_stack,
compute the message-derived error code from (*eh).message before calling the
allocating stack accessor, then pass that precomputed value to
error_code_for_message after stack materialisation. Do not read through eh
between the js_error_get_stack call and subsequent error-code handling;
alternatively root and reload the error via RuntimeHandleScope if the pointer
must remain live.
In `@crates/perry/tests/issue_9486_error_stack_frames.rs`:
- Line 46: Update the test’s runtime build command around the perry-runtime
argument so it builds the static runtime wrapper/archive expected by the
compiled fixture, ensuring PERRY_RUNTIME_DIR points to a directory containing
the freshly built artifact rather than an rlib or stale archive.

…tion (PerryTS#9486) CodeRabbit PerryTS#9521: js_error_get_stack now allocates, so it is a GC point. print_uncaught held `eh` as a plain Rust local and read (*eh).message AFTER it to resolve the ERR_* code — an evacuating scavenge moves the error, the code table is rekeyed on the message's move, and the code was silently dropped on top of the unsound read. Reads are now all taken before the materialisation, in an extracted uncaught_native_error_report so the ordering is testable; regression test forces evacuation and asserts the error MOVED as its positive control. Also routes the three remaining direct ErrorHeader.stack readers through the accessor: util.inspect's frame line (console.log(err) printed no frame at all) and the perry-ext-sharp / perry-ext-mysql2 tests, which my perry-runtime suite never covered. Test harness builds perry-runtime-static (the staticlib that emits libperry_runtime.a), not the perry-runtime rlib. Changelog documents the shipped frame format.
