Part of #10777. Base a819742b2 (carries #10761, #10762, #10769, #10770, #10777's unary arm, and #10779).

expr_produces_canonical_raw_f64 refused every PropertyGet on principle, so an arithmetic leaf reading a field whose shape already records it as numeric kept a per-iteration tag test.

The fact was present and already consumedproperty_get.rs:1523 emits load(DOUBLE, &field_ptr) with rep: F64, and PERRY_OPT_REPORT confirms 5 of those selections were CONSUMED by codegen. It was then re-derived syntactically from the Expr node at the add. That is also why o.a * 1 reaches 9 where o.a does not: Binary is a shape the predicate recognises, and the multiply normalises nothing — which finally explains the + 0 versus - 0 split that made no sense as a type story.

fixture base fix node
h += o.a 35 33 6.9
h += o.a + o.b 50 43 7.2
o.a = o.a + 1; h += o.a 97 94 9.2

This does not reach parity and is not close — 2 to 7 instructions per iteration, on one shape.

The two blockers, neither of them this arm

1. #7109. Every fixture in #10777 and #10761 uses a module-global receiver, which carries no Ptr<Shape> fact at all — --opt-report: "the allocation is stored in a module-global binding, outside the function-local containment region." The arm cannot fire there. Those rows are unchanged at 30 / 66 / 109 / 186 against node's 7.1 / 7.1 / 7.2 / 9.6, and that is an absence, not a zero.

2. There is no SlotRep::F64. slot_rep.rs:80 is enum SlotRep { Boxed, I32, U32, Str }, and its own doc calls itself the "seed of the RFC's representation lattice — grows richer reps (F64, Ptr, …) in later phases." So const v = <any read> re-boxes at the binding, and the LocalGet refusal is correct there — the slot really is boxed. The bound row needs that phase, which is a named and already-planned piece of work rather than a new design.

The precondition is discharged by construction

expr_numeric_by_construction's arms are: literals, PodLayout*, Unary, Binary, NumberCoerce/ParseFloat/ParseInt/Math*/DateNow/PerformanceNow, same-object PropertyGet, Conditional, Sequence, Update, LocalGet, then _ => false. There is no Call, no MethodCall and no FFI arm, so an FFI return can never be proven number-producing and can never enter numeric_fields.

The one raw-byte source that can is the ArrayBuffer conduit, and #10779 closing it was witnessed on this arm's path: o.a = f[0] + 0 with 0x7FFE0000_12345678, read inline through the new fast path, gives number|true|NaN matching node, where it read number|false|305419896 before.

Guard, sabotage-proven

Dropping numeric_fields.contains(property) — third distinct binary — makes o.a = "7"; h = 0; h += o.a ×3 print string|777 where node, base and fix all print string|0777. The leading zero is gone because the vouched leaf skipped its tag test and the rebuilt fast tree dropped the 0 + "7" concat. Exactly the failure binary.rs:172-182 documents.

My first correctness set was an absence, and the sabotage is what caught it. All 14 fixtures used const v = o.a, so no PropertyGet ever reached an arithmetic leaf and all three arms passed identically. Rewritten inline: 13 SAME on base and fix, empty status delta.

The class-match conjunct was not sabotaged separately — naming it as unwitnessed rather than implying coverage.

Gates

cargo fmt clean; check_file_size.sh OK; local_binding_type_audit.py OK with no new allowlist entry; gc_runtime_root_holders.py ran and passed. perry-codegen 1650/0, perry-hir 472/0, perry-transform 157/0, perry-runtime 4074/0. Node identity: clisuite 4/4, realsuite 51/1 (the known nest diff) on both arms. Three distinct binaries verified by md5, and the fix binary built twice to the same hash.

Both suite results are absences, characterised as such. grep -c "class " is 0 across all four CLI programs and all 52 realsuite programs — this arm needs a class instance with proven provenance, so there is nothing for it to fire on in any gate suite. A −303.5/op reading on graph is one draw from a ±274k distribution (five interleaved runs: −22,685 / +47,994 / −12,996 / −212,053 / +274,014 on a 5.19 G baseline). CLI wall clock is faster in all eight cells across two min-of-60 interleaved runs, but the magnitudes swing and instructions do not move — that is layout, not this arm, and it is not claimed as a win.

… 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.

…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.

…e string-coercion ladders (PerryTS#10762)

Four edits, all runtime, no codegen:

`js_string_coerce` and `js_jsvalue_to_string_method` reached their plain-number
arm last, through a seven-way jump table; `is_number()` is one range test and
the exact complement of the arms it skips, so the number arm is hoisted ahead
of them.

`js_number_to_string`'s admission check forced LLVM to emit a 14-instruction
saturating f64->u64 cast on a value already proven to be in 0..256, plus a
redundant second bound check; the cheaper admission lets it emit a 4-instruction
cast, and the cache-fill arm is outlined `#[cold]` so its inlined `format!`
stops costing 15 instructions of prologue in the hit path.

`format_number_into` gains a range-proven i32 arm.

  String(k%100)      190.0 -> 163.0   (-14.2%)
  n.toString()       536.3 -> 433.0   (-19.3%)
  `${n}`             433.3 -> 413.0    (-4.7%)
  String(k%1e6)      558.3 -> 540.3    (-3.2%)
  float              1146.6 -> 1136.6  (-0.9%)
  "" + n             264.5 -> 264.5     0.00%
  control (no conv)   82.0 -> 82.0      0.00%

No row regresses. Both arms are flat within 2% across 20k->200k and 500k->5M.

This does not reach parity with node or bun, and the remaining distance needs an
ABI change rather than another pass: `"" + n` never allocates, because
`js_string_concat_value_box` returns an f64 and packs a short result into
SHORT_STRING_TAG, while the other three entry points are declared
`-> *mut StringHeader` and must allocate a heap string for a three-byte result.

…at was fixed in the runtime (PerryTS#10769)

`RepselContextFlags::derive`'s `Entry` arm forced `allows_ptr_shape: false` and
a `MODULE_INIT_CONTEXT` denial, on the stated grounds that "PerryTS#6991 is an open
rooting bug in exactly that position".

PerryTS#6991 is closed. It was fixed by PerryTS#7249 (64c1f56), which placed
`populate_global_this_builtins` inside a `GcSuppressScope` — a runtime fix, not
a codegen one. The gate has since been guarding against a bug that no longer
exists, and the effect was that a shape proof in an entry body was made,
counted as a win in the optimiser report, and then dropped at every access
site.

The `Entry` arm now derives all three flags from their knobs like any other
body.

  module-level const, loop at module level   110.00 -> 88.99  (-19.1%)

node is 14.50 on the same fixture, so this does not reach parity; roughly 36
instructions of entry-body cost remain and are not this gate. The same body
placed inside a function is the control and correctly does not move.

The nine real programs do not move, and the mechanism was checked rather than
assumed: `--opt-report` module-init denial mentions are identical on both arms
for all nine, because none of them has a `Ptr<Shape>` candidate in its entry
body. `validate` and `resolve` do hold module-level const records, but they are
read from inside functions, which globalizes them and puts them behind the
separate storage limitation tracked as PerryTS#7109.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
`toFixed(6)` cost 646 instructions and `toFixed(7)` cost 7,125 — a 10.7x jump
for one more decimal place, while node and bun are flat across the range.

Two causes, both of them a bound that had drifted from the thing it bounds:

`spec_to_fixed` asked `format!("{x:.1100}")` on every input. 1100 is the
smallest subnormal's worst case, so `(6.0).toFixed(7)` expanded 1100 decimal
places through dragon4 and discarded 1093 of them. It now asks for the digits
the value actually has.

`POW10` was seven entries local to `fmt_fixed_int`, while the admission bound
read `dp <= 6` a hundred lines away as though it were an overflow limit. It is
now `POW10_FIXED` at module scope with 20 entries, and the doc comment states
that the table's length *is* the bound — they are the same object rather than
two constants that happen to agree.

  dp 0    524.2 -> 520.2
  dp 2    592.6 -> 564.6
  dp 6    646.0 -> 620.9
  dp 7   7125.4 ->  633.1
  dp 8   7159.1 ->  645.6
  (12.34).toFixed(8)  12637.2 -> 596.6   (21.2x)

node is 905-954 and bun 1016-1108 across the same range, so every row is now a
win where dp >= 7 was a 7.5x loss. dp 0-6 also gained 4-5% because `10u64.pow(dp)`
became a table load.

405,828 node-identical results across the fixture set, including 378,000
targeting the newly admitted inexact-product population.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
…nd condition (PerryTS#10777)

`expr_numeric_by_construction` required `rec(operand)` for `Pos`, the same as
for `Neg` and `BitNot`. That was not a soundness guard, it was a missed proof.

Unary `+` is ToNumber, which either completes holding a Number or throws: a
BigInt and a Symbol both throw a TypeError, an object goes through ToPrimitive
and then ToNumber again, `undefined` is NaN, and NaN is a Number. A throw
stores no value, so the store-universe question this fixpoint asks is vacuous
on that path — there is no input for which `+x` finishes holding something
other than a Number.

`Neg` and `BitNot` keep their operand condition, because ToNumeric is
BigInt-preserving: `-1n` is `-1n` and `~1n` is `-2n`, neither a Number.

The missed proof left the ACCUMULATOR unproven, so its add kept a
per-iteration tag test:

  const v = +o.a;  for (…) h += v     20 -> 9 Ir/iteration
  const v = +a[0]; for (…) h += v     20 -> 9   (Float64Array)

which is exactly where `o.a * 1` and `o.a - 0` already sat. node is 7.03 and
7.50 on the same fixtures, bun 4.27 and 4.48, so this closes the
perry-versus-perry gap and does not reach parity.

… user bytes cannot forge a boxed value (PerryTS#10779)

A double whose bit pattern falls inside the NaN-box tag window read back as its
payload instead of the NaN it is. `Number.isNaN` then reported false, so the one
defensive check a program would use agreed the value was fine.

It is not a wrong number. 80 of 144 probe patterns diverge on base and 32 of
them SIGSEGV: 0x7FF9... reads back with `typeof === "string"` and 0x7FFD... as
`[object Object]` — a pointer forged out of user-controlled bytes. Seeded GC
stress with FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1 survives 0 of 10 seeds on base and 10 of 10
here.

A field is a conduit, not a source: the only way a tag-band NaN enters is an
ArrayBuffer float read, so canonicalising those is sufficient. Perry already
enforces the same invariant for Array<number> on the store side
(array/header.rs:841); typed arrays are the one class where it has to be on the
read.

Rejected, with reasons recorded in the PR: moving the tag band (no NaN-free
window exists in NaN space, either sign); fixing it at the decode (0x7FFE...
is simultaneously a valid int32 box and a valid NaN); JSC's +/-2^49 offset
(charges every double rather than only NaNs); canonicalising at the raw-to-boxed
boundary (a perry value IS a double, so that boundary is not a syntactic site);
and canonicalising only in-band NaNs, which is unsound — a signalling NaN quiets
INTO the band, and fneg/fabs move negative payload NaNs in.

  Float64Array element read      6.04 instr   -0.006%
  every PerryTS#10777 and PerryTS#10761 row                  0
  h += a[k&255] inline tier      28 -> 30
  Float32Array inline tier       41 -> 46

No row where perry beats node regresses.

NaN payload bits are no longer preserved through a JS number: 101 of 144 cases
differ in bits only, nothing semantic. node preserves them; this matches JSC and
SpiderMonkey. It is spec-permitted and unavoidable under any sound design.

…c field vouches as canonical raw f64 (PerryTS#10777)

`expr_produces_canonical_raw_f64` refused every `PropertyGet` on principle, so
an arithmetic leaf reading a field whose shape already records it as numeric
kept a per-iteration tag test. The fact was present and consumed —
`property_get.rs:1523` emits `load(DOUBLE, ...)` with `rep: F64` — and then
re-derived syntactically from the Expr node at the add, which is also why
`o.a * 1` reaches 9 where `o.a` does not: `Binary` is a shape that predicate
recognises, and the multiply normalises nothing.

The arm admits a `PropertyGet` whose receiver carries
`ptr_shape_receiver_fact(...).numeric_fields.contains(property)`.

  h += o.a                      35 -> 33
  h += o.a + o.b                50 -> 43
  o.a = o.a + 1; h += o.a       97 -> 94

That is 2-7 instructions per iteration on one shape, and it does NOT reach
parity: node is 6.5-7.1 on the same fixtures. Two named blockers remain, and
neither is this arm. Module-global receivers carry no Ptr<Shape> fact at all
(PerryTS#7109), so every fixture in PerryTS#10777 and PerryTS#10761 is an absence rather than a
zero. And `SlotRep` has no F64 variant (slot_rep.rs:80, whose own doc says it
"grows richer reps (F64, Ptr, ...) in later phases"), so `const v = <any read>`
re-boxes at the binding and the LocalGet refusal is correct there — the slot
really is boxed.

The precondition is discharged by construction: `expr_numeric_by_construction`
has no Call, MethodCall or FFI arm, so an FFI return can never enter
numeric_fields. The one raw-byte source that can is the ArrayBuffer conduit,
closed by PerryTS#10779.

This pull request updates compiler and runtime optimization paths for packed array loops, float NaN canonicalization, number formatting, constant-key property access, and entry-body pointer-shape selection. It also adds focused regression tests, cache-key updates, and changelog entries.

Changes

Packed loop optimizations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compound assignment and packed-loop lowering
crates/perry-hir/..., crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/loops.rs
Compound-assignment temporaries preserve source types. Guarded fast clones can fold safe alias shapes and retain the original slow clone.
Range validation and tests
crates/perry-runtime/src/array/header.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/typed_feedback.rs, crates/perry-codegen/tests/*
The range guard can validate only the active window. Tests cover accepted and rejected compound-assignment shapes.
Numeric proofs
crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/ptr_shape_numeric.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/type_analysis/numeric.rs
Unary + and selected numeric property reads receive stronger numeric proofs.

Float NaN canonicalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Float-read canonicalization
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/*, crates/perry-runtime/src/{buffer,typedarray}/*
Float lanes are canonicalized before entering NaN-boxed values. Integer paths remain unchanged.
Cache and regression updates
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/index_get_claim_tests.rs
The canonicalization setting becomes part of build and object cache keys, with IR assertions updated.

Number formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Number-to-string paths
crates/perry-runtime/src/{builtins,nstring,string,value}/*
Plain numbers, small integers, and cache misses use dedicated fast paths.
toFixed precision
crates/perry-runtime/src/string/format.rs, scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json
toFixed uses a 20-entry power table and derives the required fractional precision from the number bits.

Constant-key property folding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Literal-key rewrite and tests
crates/perry-transform/src/module_const_fold.rs, test-files/test_gap_10761_const_key_property_reads.ts
Non-index string keys are rewritten from IndexGet to PropertyGet, including nested expressions. Numeric index strings remain indexed accesses.

Entry-body pointer-shape selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Entry gate and coverage
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/{repsel_gates.rs,slot_rep.rs}, test-files/test_gap_10769_entry_body_ptr_shape.ts
Entry contexts derive Ptr<Shape> selection from the configured gate. Tests cover allocation points, barriers, exclusions, and deep chains.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f8081

The change can produce an incorrect toFixed() digit and retains a semantic failure for the upper numeric-property boundary. Fix these before merge; the loop optimization and release-note issues should be corrected at the same time.

`a[i] = k + i` **105 → 17.4**, `a[i] = a[i] + 1` **256 → 24.5** (node 18.7), `a[i] = a[i] + b[i]` **333 → 35.9**. The bare loop, both `Float64Array` paths and the indexed read are unchanged to the instruction.

Note this moves none of the five real programs in #10695 — their loop bodies are multi-statement or contain calls, which no current tier admits (#10741) — and `a[i] += 1` is unaffected because its lowering is two statements (#10743).

Describe the final behavior of a[i] += 1.

The release script concatenates all numbered fragments. This entry says that a[i] += 1 is unaffected, while changelog.d/10743-compound-assign-alias-fold.md says it reaches the loop tier and improves from 277 to 25.5 instructions per element. Replace the stale claim with the final behavior.

Keep scaled products below 2^52.

The 2^53 bound admits products whose f64 spacing is one. For 450359962.73828125.toFixed(7), the exact scaled value is 4503599627382812.5, but the multiplication rounds to the even integer 4503599627382812. fmt_fixed_int then sees frac == 0, skips its tie guard, and emits 450359962.7382812 instead of 450359962.7382813.

Limit this path to scaled magnitudes below 2^52.

Avoid repeating the array-wide scan before each window scan.

When an out-of-window slot is nonnumeric, rebuild_array_numeric_raw_f64_allow_holes scans through that slot, clears the layout flags, and returns false. Each subsequent range-loop entry repeats that scan before array_window_is_numeric_raw_f64_allow_holes checks the active window.

The successful array-wide path is cached, but the failed proof is not. Use the window path directly for partial ranges, or cache the failed array-wide proof until the array representation changes.

Bound canonical decimal keys to the array-index range.

is_numeric_index_string accepts "4294967295", so const K = "4294967295"; null[K] remains an IndexGet instead of using the PropertyGet path. The literal-string IndexGet arm bypasses the nullish guard and can return undefined instead of throwing TypeError. Class-instance reads also miss class/vtable dispatch.

Limit the shared classifier to canonical decimal values 0..=4294967294. Update the equivalent classifier in member_tail.rs and add boundary and nullish regression cases.

Queued, but behind #10793 — deliberately, and the reason is about attribution rather than any doubt in this PR.

repsel-census has been red on main since v0.5.1613 (merge train 234), which I landed. The single hard failure is 1 selected ptr-shape promotion was not consumed, and not one of them names a mechanism, with promotion counts up across thirteen workloads — the signature of #10774 re-enabling Ptr<Shape> in entry bodies. That is #10793, open and delegated.

This PR is in the same subsystem: Ptr<Shape> receivers and numeric_fields. Landing it onto an already-red census would make any census effect of this change indistinguishable from the one already there — the two would only be separable by counting promotions, and that is exactly the kind of inference that has gone wrong repeatedly today. Landing #10793 first costs a train and makes this one's census result a clean before/after.

Not a criticism of the PR. Two things in it are notably well done and I want them recorded where they will be read:

The o.a * 1 explanation. "Binary is a shape the predicate recognises, and the multiply normalises nothing" — that finally accounts for the + 0 versus - 0 split in #10777, which never made sense as a type story. Worth keeping in the changelog fragment; it is the sort of thing a later reader would otherwise re-derive from scratch or, worse, "fix".

"My first correctness set was an absence, and the sabotage is what caught it." All 14 fixtures used const v = o.a, so no PropertyGet ever reached an arithmetic leaf and all three arms passed identically. That is the same failure mode that put a compile break on main today: #10779's read-shape harness contained readDoubleLE and no readFloat*, so the guard it added had zero coverage on one of its two arms, and Buffer.readFloatLE has not compiled since v0.5.1614 (now fixed in #10789). A fixture set that passes identically on base and fix is an absence, not a result — you caught yours; the other one shipped.

Two things I will check when it does land, flagged now so they are not a surprise:

The #7109 and SlotRep::F64 blockers are correctly identified as absences rather than zeros, and both are named, planned work rather than new design. No action needed on those here.

Landed via merge train 239 (#10800) as v0.5.1618b9ba951ff8.

repsel-census is green for the first time since v0.5.1613, and #10787 travelled with the fix without adding a wasted promotion: repsel_census rc=0 wasted_promotion=False.

Holding #10787 back one train was only safe because the #10793-only census was verified green before assembly, so any wasted promotion in this train would have been unambiguously attributable. There was none.

I verified the green is not a disarm, independently of the branch's own sabotages:

fixed tree + FIXED compiler    → rc=0, "Census OK."  (9 workload lines — it genuinely ran)
fixed tree + UNFIXED compiler  → rc=1, "WASTED PROMOTION WITH NO NAMED MECHANISM"

The green requires the compiler emitting the new no_access_site record; nothing in the config relaxes anything. And the landing gate now requires repsel_census rc=0 rather than carrying its old known-red tolerance forward — a baseline that still accepts the failure it just fixed is how a fix silently stops holding.

The corrected framing is in the train body: #10774 was the trigger, not the fault. It consumed totals, which is it working as intended, and that removed the workload's only named mechanism — exposing a pre-existing unnamed residue as the only wasted promotion the check could see. My original issue title implied otherwise and has been retitled.

For #10787 specifically: the honesty about not reaching parity (2–7 instructions against node's 6.9–9.2) and about #7109 and the missing SlotRep::F64 being absences rather than zeros is preserved in the body. So is the o.a * 1 explanation — "Binary is a shape the predicate recognises, and the multiply normalises nothing" — which finally accounts for the + 0 versus - 0 split in #10777.

One transient is disclosed rather than buried: cor_native-abi-proof reported native_memory_fixture during the run and does not reproduce (standalone re-run rc=0, failed_workloads: []). It is the only fixture in the corpus that shells out to cargo build for a Rust staticlib mid-check, so it is uniquely exposed to concurrent cargo activity and disk pressure, and the box was at 19–24 GB with this train's own build and sweep running. The landing gate accepts that one workload and refuses any other compiler-output failure.
