… every element access (PerryTS#10718) An indexed read on an ordinary `Array` cost 87 instructions per element, against 6 for the identical arithmetic on a `Float64Array` and 16 for node. None of it was a runtime call: callgrind attributes 88.3 instructions per element to straight-line code in `main`, of which **56 are loop-invariant receiver revalidation** re-executed every iteration — the NaN-box tag and handle-band test, the forwarding-flag follow, and a six-load live-head guard that re-reads gc_type, gc_flags, obj_flags, a volatile invalidation flag, length and capacity. perry already has tiers that hoist exactly this proof into the loop preheader and version the loop. They were declining at a single gate in `stmt/loops.rs` — `array_static_type_excluded` — a **declared static type** test sitting in front of a tier that is otherwise fully runtime-guarded. `const a: number[] = new Array(400)` reached it and measured 13.4; plain `new Array(400)` infers `Array<any>` and did not, so ordinary JavaScript never got the tier it already had. Separately, and larger: `a[i] += 1` cost 948 instructions per element, 3.7x the identical `a[i] = a[i] + 1`, and a type annotation did not help. `lower/expr_assign.rs` minted the compound-assignment spill temporaries as `Type::Any`, erasing the receiver's array-ness and the index's integer-ness before codegen could see the statement — which is why no annotation could recover it. The temporaries now carry the operand types. Array read 87.0 -> 13.5 (node 16.3 — perry now wins 1.21x) a[i] += 1 948 -> 273 a[i] += b[i] 1025 -> 347 bare loop 4.0 -> 4.0 unchanged to the instruction Float64Array r/w 6.0/8.0 -> 6.0/8.0 unchanged to the instruction A particle simulation over four numeric arrays spends 60.9% fewer instructions (41.21 G -> 16.12 G) and 59% less peak RSS. The widened tier initially regressed a numeric window inside an otherwise non-numeric array by 33%, because the array-wide layout walk runs per loop entry. A window-scoped layout proof is used as a second chance after that walk declines; both shapes are now 12-13% wins, and arrays that are non-numeric from slot 0 are unchanged to the instruction.

…ent stores (PerryTS#10718) An indexed write cost 105 instructions per element with zero runtime calls; 51 of them were loop-invariant receiver revalidation and 42 was a write-barrier decision provable away from the value type. This widens the store admission the way PerryTS#10731 widened reads. a[i] = k + i 105 -> 17.4, a[i] = a[i] + 1 256 -> 24.5, a[i] = a[i] + b[i] 333 -> 35.9. The bare loop, both Float64Array paths and the indexed read are unchanged to the instruction. The barrier-stem census probe for idxset.recv_global gains a second statement: the widened tier made its loop qualify, which would have left that stem with no live witness. A future multi-statement store tier must re-shape the probe, not delete it. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
…already had (PerryTS#10743) Fixes PerryTS#10743. Stacked on PerryTS#10746 (`2b2b89063`), which contains PerryTS#10731. `a[i] += 1` and `a[i] = a[i] + 1` are the same operation and node compiles both to the same cost. perry compiled them 11x apart -- 277 instructions per element against 24 -- and the slow one was the idiomatic spelling. HIR's `hoist_compound_member_assign` lowers a compound member assignment into two immutable alias `Let`s plus the store, so the base and the key are each evaluated exactly once and before the right-hand side. `packed_f64_range_loop_body_collect` admits exactly ONE statement, so the lowering guaranteed the statement could never reach the tier that makes the expanded form fast. Annotating the array changed nothing: the obstacle is the statement count, not type information. The temporaries stay. They are load-bearing -- an RHS call can reassign the bindings they were read from, and the store must still land at the index evaluated before it ran (`a[i] += (() => { i = 2; return 5; })()`). So the fold is in the MATCHER, and it applies only to the guarded fast clones: the slow clone lowers the statements as written, so a failed guard and every side exit still execute the specified evaluation order. Inside the matched subset the fold is exact, because `packed_f64_range_loop_pure_expr_collect` is a whitelist that admits no call, closure, `await`, update or assignment anywhere in the statement -- nothing can write the locals the aliases read. This needs none of PerryTS#10741's mid-iteration side-exit discipline: the folded-away statements perform no stores, so there is nothing to un-do when a guard fails partway. Per element, fitted across N=10,000 -> 50,000, three interleaved rounds per arm: a[i] += 1 277.05 -> 25.46 (node 16.9) a[i] -= 1 208.05 -> 27.45 (node 16.9) a[i] += b[i] 347.05 -> 35.86 (node 25.8) -- now exactly a[i] = a[i] + b[i] a[i] *= 1 206.05 -> 25.45 (node 15.1) a[i] |= 0 236.05 -> 52.46 (node 12.7) The bare loop, both `Float64Array` rows, the indexed read and write and both expanded spellings are unchanged -- their emitted LLVM IR is byte-identical between arms, which is a stronger witness than a flat fitted number. It moves none of the five real programs in PerryTS#10695, and the compiler's own trace says why: `sim` still reports 3 x `body_not_admissible`, because its inner loop is five statements containing two `if`s. This admits a body whose extra statements are compound-assign ALIASES, not a body whose extra statements do things. That remains PerryTS#10741. New diagnostic: `PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1` prints `[range-loop] admitted: compound_assign_alias_fold`. The existing traces report only DECLINES, so there was no way to show that a fixture claiming to exercise a guarded path actually reached it -- the exact gap that let PerryTS#10746 ship a GC stress whose fixtures were all declined before the guard under test ran. Correctness: 25 differential fixtures (evaluation order with a side-effecting RHS, getters and setters on the array / on `Array.prototype` / on the index, a prototype getter that truncates, deletes from or freezes the array mid-loop, frozen and sealed in sloppy and strict mode, a non-writable index, holes, out of bounds, past `length`, non-number elements, string `+=`, heap-reference stores, offset and affine indices, module-global receivers, typed arrays, and all fifteen compound operators) pass on both arms with byte-identical results. Guard sabotage: removing the per-store numeric-bits value check produces 27 SIGABRTs across seven heap-limit seeds under `PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1` (0 unsabotaged), with the from-space scan naming a survivor-space array holding an un-evacuated nursery pointer through a slot that was never marked dirty -- so this path does not bypass PerryTS#10746's write barrier, it is the same check on the same store. Neutering the loop-entry guard turns four fixtures red, all of them through the fold. The `mutable: false` condition is witnessed by a unit test and an IR test; the `__cmpd_` name test and the initialiser grammar are scoping restrictions with unit-test witnesses only, and lowering the folded body in the slow clone as well turns nothing red -- all three are stated as unwitnessed in the report rather than claimed. Gates: node identity 92 identical / 1 diff / 0 compile-fail on both arms with byte-identical results files (the diff is the pre-existing PerryTS#10733 `nest` defect); `perry-codegen` lib 1650 pass including the barrier stem census and its four sabotage twins, with NO census probe change needed; `perry-hir` green; clippy 470 = 470 with identical per-category counts; `cargo fmt`, `check_file_size.sh`, `gc_runtime_root_holders.py` and `local_binding_type_audit.py` clean and identical on both arms; peak RSS worst case +0.60%.

…stitution (PerryTS#10761) `o["a"]` written in source is already lowered to `o.a` by the AST->HIR member lowering (the PerryTS#529 fold in `lower/expr_member/member_tail.rs`). But `module_const_fold` substitutes a hoisted `const K = "a"` into the key position *after* that matcher has run, and nothing re-ran it — so the enclosing node stayed an `IndexGet` and codegen's static-string-key arm resolved it by name at runtime on every read: UTF-8-validate the key, hash it for the accessor Bloom summary, classify the receiver, then scan the shape's key array. Phase 2 re-applies the same rewrite. The produced node is bit-identical to the one `o["name"]` produces in source, so there is no new fast path and no new guard; the read simply reaches the per-site monomorphic inline cache that the dotted spelling already used. O[K] + O[J] on {a:1,b:2,c:3} 1236 -> 169 instructions/iteration (7.31x) which is exactly what the same pair spelled `O.a + O.b` costs. Identical at both fit ranges. It also corrects a spec divergence: `null[K]` and `undefined[K]` silently read `undefined` before this change, where node throws a TypeError. Numeric-index strings are excluded, mirroring the source-level fold verbatim, so `arr["0"]` keeps IndexGet semantics. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ

Landed via merge train 234 (#10786) as v0.5.1613 — Your commits are on #10774's premise was verified independently rather than read from the comment, since the whole change rests on it: #6991 is CLOSED (2026-08-02), The boundary you identified is the useful part and it is preserved in the train body: a top-level binding read only at top level is not globalized, and this gate was its whole blocker; one read from inside a function globalizes it and it becomes #7109. That is why three fixtures move and the nine real programs do not — and you verified the mechanism (identical module-init denial mentions on both arms for all nine) rather than just reporting the zero. Two representation-check flags worth knowing about, both correct absences rather than dropped work:

It moves 0.000% on all five

Not one module-levelconst K = "…"used as a property key exists anywhere inrealsuite,rungsorclisuite— that was checked, not assumed.And it loses on three shapes: accessor +16%, prototype-inherited +27%, absent key +4.6%. In each case the fix arm lands exactly on the cost of the same read spelled with a dot — perry's dotted PIC lowering is slower than the plain by-name helper for those shapes, so the const spelling had an accidental advantage that this removes. The right response is to fix the dotted lowering for those shapes, not to preserve an inconsistency.
Guard honesty
There is one guard,
is_numeric_index_string, and it cannot be made to fail on correctness — removing it passes both the 24-case fixture and a 33-case numeric probe. It is witnessed by measurement instead:Int32Array[K]goes 969 → 1343 (+38.5%) without it. Flagging that explicitly rather than presenting it as a correctness-witnessed guard.Sabotage with phase 2 disabled fails 4 of 5 new unit tests, and the new fixture fails on base — so the change itself is witnessed.

This closes the spelling gap but not the cost gap. Measured cleanly — accumulating into a float so the fixture's own
|0ToInt32 is not counted, which inflated the original numbers in #10761 by roughly half — a property read that cannot be hoisted (O.a = k; h += O.a) costs perry 142 against node's 14. The realistic array-of-objects shape is 121 vs 24.So the remaining gap is per-access cost, not spelling and not hoisting. The attribution here found a monomorphic static read hit is 23 inline instructions of which 22 are loop-invariant receiver revalidation (96%), and that
read_stub.rs— a 2048×2-way thread-local cache — sits below the call that answers every plain-object read, so it is never probed or primed. Both are follow-ups, and both are #10741's shape applied to property access.https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
